[159] It is true that life has a way of throwing a curveball your way when you least expect it, I swallowed the lump that was ice cold in my throat and I walked to where they were standing. Not only was I shocked that Zuko has decided to forgive the guy who almost stabbed him to death, I was also angry at the fact that it was so easy for him to forgive him. I gave Khaya a disgusted look as I stood next to Zuko, Nkosazana he said smiling and kissing my hand. They talked for a while Ok, Ill email it to you then boy Khaya said when he saw that he was not welcomed while I was around. I couldnt even believe that he had the audacity to stand infront of me and smile after what he did to me. He left and I told Zuko that I was leaving with or without him, I took my bag and I dramatically walked down the stairs with the fear that he was not going to follow me. I got outside and I kept looking back and he was not there, I was about to give up and call a cab when he appeared and walked straight to the car without looking at me. I jogged behind him and he drove in full speed and ignored me the whole way to his place. It was when we were both inside the flat and I was standing next to the drawer filled with knives and forks that I started throwing words at him. I started by saying that he should have at least told me that the only reason we were going to Borabora was for him to meet up with Khaya more than anything, I went on to ask if he was Jesus that he could forgive someone who had almost killed him without even the slightest fear of the person doing the same thing again and then I was about to conclude and call him a coward who bends with where the wind goes when he slowly said that he would be very happy if I could take my chilshness somewhere else. And ekugqibeleni awungeni ndawo, phofu uyangena cause uKhaya wayengumntu wakho. Now I understand why you so concerned he let the words sink in before disappearing into the bedroom. I was still contemplating what to do when Tamara called, Hello I said trying to sound okay. Ude wathini?, khawubuye she said, I said that I will and I will call her later. Zuko came out of the room he tried to touch me and I backed away from him. Ingxaki youll never understand. He said and he went on to say that he doesnt wanna hold grudges with someone he grew up with and that making peace was going to make it easy for him to get his revenge. He smoothed me for a while until he was satisfied and then an hour later we were in bed. In the morning when I got to the flat the girls couldnt wait to hear the juicy details, they were so shocked to hear something way different than the one they have spent the night predicting it was going to be. Ungafika bayi planner kudala ke sana, ndiyawazi amadoda mna ngobugqubusha! Complained Amanda, haywethu uZuko akanaxesha loKhaya Zimasa added. I tried to change the subject cause I was missing the part where I had said that it was open for discussion. Another reason why I was always reluctant to tell the girls everything in full detail, because I knew they had the power to discuss something for a month like it was theirs and once your friends get too involved in your relationship they have the tendency to forget that its not theirs. I was walking down Hemingways with Zimasa to catch a movie when Zuko called and asked where I was. I told him hayi, uyothini apho? He asked in a concerned voice and I told him. He said Okay uyadika uZuko chom yho I said to Zimasa who was still undecided on which movie we should watch. Sudikwa, bakhona ababawela kwalo Zuko wakho she said and I laughed saying that if someone was in my shoes they were not going to survive. She finally decided on a movie and I was glad that I had finally had time with her after everything that has happened to her -losing her child and all. Because we somehow become blind when our friends need us the most and I wanted to be there, not just to return the favour for the times she was there for me but just to be there. We laughed reminiscing on old times and how different life has been now that we are older and wiser. We were gossiping about Amanda when somebody patted my shoulder, haybo, uzothini apha? the first question I asked Zuko who was standing there looking like a schoolboy who just received his matric results. He ignored my question and greeted Zimasa, he said he wanted to talk and I told Zimasa that Ill be back. I followed him feeling the level of trust decreasing, I got to a conclusion that he probably didnt believe me when I told him I was at Hemingways so he wanted to double check. I was the first person to speak when we got to his car uzothini apha? I asked and he smiled at me sheepishly and said that he missed me. Awusandixeleli ngoku xa uza eHemingways he said shaking his head. He complained and snatched my phone away from my hands when Zimasa was calling me Lets ditch Zimasa. Then sibuye ngaye he said and i told him I was not about to ditch my friend whilst I was the one who had begged her to come with me and I begged him to give me my phone back. Its technically mine kaloku, ungalibali he said and laughed, I said okay and then I stepped out of his car. I quickly ran to the queue to look for my friend but she wasnt there, I ran back to demand my phone from Zuko so I could call her back and he was also not there. I decided I was not going to run after Zuko, atleast he didnt know my password meaning he could keep it as long as he wanted to. But I had to find Zimasa before she threw a tantrum When I got back to the flat Zimasa was in bed sleeping, my heart sank thinking of the way I have ruined what was going to be a beautiful day. I shoot my laptop to life and I listened to music, I even tried to sleep but I couldnt without checking how much Zimasa hated me. When she woke it seemed like I was the last person she wanted to see, I tried to explain truthfully in detail what has happened.No su-explaina she stopped me ubalulekile kaloku uZuko she said adding that she didnt even bother to watch the movie. I got tongue tied and I decided to give her time to cool down. Umamakho kudala efowna she said and I asked if I could use her phone to call her back. I called her back and she asked to meet and I was so glad cause I needed a reason to get out of the flat, I took a taxi to town. Kanti ifowuni yakho yeyothini? She asked the minute I sat down next to her at KFC. I told her that my battery was off as I joined her in her streetwise two. Awubawi!! Awutyi kule ndawo uhlala kuyo? she asked making the girl who was sitting next to us to take a good look at me. Ndiye ndakucinga ndakuthengela ilokhwe, qha ndonqena unyuka ndikuphathele she said as she gave the parcel to me. Utsho ngoku ba awuyithandi, kaloku uzenza umlumkazi ukufa wena she said, banjalo abantwana, akhonto bayangayigxekiyo Nonezwas mother said sitting down, and my mother didnt even tell me she was with someone. I looked at it intle mama nje I said greeting Nonezwas mother. We carried on eating and I had to listen to church gossip and my mind was not even there -I even regretted why I even agreed to come cause there was no other reason than to give me the dress. So many thoughts were going through my head that I even feared that maybe that was Zukos way of taking back his phone and that I have lost the friendship I had with Zimasa forever. Ndithi ngenyimini ndidibana noNonezwa etsalwa ngaba maxwebe thambisa bala lali. Ndathi yeyi andinantombi izobigongxe emva kwecango, bufuna isoka sobhinqa siyolikhangela edolophini Nonezwas mother said and they both laughed. Wenza kakuhle gqithi mamthile. Funeka imoto incincize ungena egatini mnatakabawo, ngamanye amaxesha ibhaki ikhe ize ngomva egatin igcwele yigrocery elaxesha!!!! My mother added !!! I felt like hiding under the table . . . !!!!!
