CHAPTER NINE
?????????? ????
Kuda: Don't close your eyes .
he says to the mourning Ma'Thandi . She opens her eyes with anticipation killing her , she wonders what he's going to do next . Kuda smiles please .
Kuda: l want you to witness everything that's about to happen don't even try to blink.
Ma'Thandi : Yebo Bab'mfundis.
Kuda : Good .
He nods walking to where he spotted his sjambok . Ma'Thandi gasps but still standing in one position.
Ma'Thandi : what are you going to do with that mfundis
Kuda : Something like this...
he says swinging his hand and she cries in agony as the sjambok come in contact with her skin . He continues to do that as she tries to run but she's trapped
Ma'Thandi : Kanti ungenwe yin mfundis (crying)
He doesn't answer he keeps on beating her to a pulp until she couldn't take it anymore ,she was now lying on the cold tiles with her tears dried out . He stops with his forehead sweaty
Kuda : Get out .
He says kicking her stomach and she flinches in pain , she tries getting up but she's to weak .
Kuda : I SAID GET THE **** OUT ! OR DO YOU WANT ME TO DRAG YOU OUT !
Ma'Thandi : no ( lowly )
she slowly stands but the pain she's feeling is unexpected , never in her life has she imagined herself being beaten up by a man . She wonders if this is how Martina leaves always getting beaten up , her heart is bleeding as she realizes that she's been going after a monster all along .lts true you shouldn't wish for what someone else has at all , look at the outcomes she got .
She limps to the door , she's surely buttered up . lf she manages to sleep today she'll be regarded as imbokodo .
Ma'Thandi : you are going to pay for this .
Kuda : yeah surely l will , l might just step on your throat and watch you die how about that .
those words send shivers down her spt , a tear drops from her eyes . She's glad that it's already late .
She walk out feeling like she could just disappear , will she ever be able to look at her self in the mirror ? She already hates the purple stripes embedded on her skin . May God make the life of the man who beat her up a living hell ,she can now only put sher trust in God .
ln the house Kudakwashe is already bathing and not even thinking about what just happened , it's like nothing ever happened . Something you would wonder if this man has feelings at all.
