Chapter:16

Manzini

This days I'm content with everything
I'm happily
I'm Bongani's girlfriend's officially
He's my happy place I don't want to lie
Right now we are cuddling in a sofa
Bongani:Baby...
Manzini:Mm-mmh
Bongani:Please tell me you won't go through marrying that old man Xola
I stood up from the sofa
Manzini:Bongani we talked about this
Bongani:But you can't expect me to just let you marry that man while you are my woman Manzini,I don't want to share you with that pig
Manzini:I got go
Bongani:So every time we have to talk about this you will ditch this and avoid it?for how long tell me?
This is hard than it is
I can't even explain it to Bongani
Manzini:I can't be late,you know how aunty Zodwa can be
I didn't even wait for him to respond I left
It has been two days and I haven't seen Bongani, actually I'm avoiding him at all cost because he will want to talk about my marriage with Xola
And that is something I don't want to discuss with him
I've got my reasons why I'm marrying this old man
I'm doing this for me and him
I hope he could understand my reason
Today I'm excited and scared in the same time because results will be released today
I will ask malume Xola for money to buy newspaper
Manzini:Sanibonani malume
Xola:Hawuu Manzini you still call me malume even I'm going to be your husband soon?
Okay this is bit of embarrassment
He laughed
Does he see joke into this?
Xola:Relax ngiya'dlala mshana,how can I help?
Manzini:Can you give me R10 so can I buy a newspaper to check if I appear on it
"Over my dead body you will get a cent from my husband"
Oh Lord it's Zodwa
Xola:Hawuu Zodwa is just a mere R10
Zodwa:Xola are you condoning this child behavior?while she's going to be a wife soon into this house?
Manzini:Aunty please I just want to check my results that's all,this is important to me
Zodwa:Ngithe cha Manzini
This woman she got a pure evil heart
Just a R10
I'm not asking for her millions
Her husband agreed that I can't be given R10
My heart was broken
I couldn't hold myself anymore I just cried
Rain was drizzling outside
I don't have smart phone to check my results
I don't have any money on me
This is pure bad luck
I feel warm hands around me
I pushed his hands off me
Manzini:Bongani you can't do this in here
Bongani:You are my woman and I can hug you wherever I want
Manzini:Bongani please we talked about this
He surrendered his hands
Bongani:Okay I give up,I can see we don't share the same sentimental
That is so not true
I really do love Bongani
Bongani:I bought you a newspaper so you can check your results
I jumped to him
Hugged him so tight
I even forget I said we can't be touchy touchy around here
I smiled at him
Manzini:Ngiyabonga
He cupped my face
Bongani:I will do anything for you baby and to see your beautiful smile every day, but now let's check how did you do
He helped to look for my examination number
Bongani:Here it is baby
Oh my God
Bongani:Baby a whole four distinctions, I'm so proud of you
I made it
I passed my matric
Even it was impossible some days but I'm step closer to free myself
