Chapter 119. I didnt know whether to run inside or stand and yell. I took my phone out and called Jay. He didnt answer. I was panicking. Was he inside? I called my mom, yangena ku voicemail. I called my dad; same thing. Neighbours were running out. The firefighters came, ndimile at a distance. And then an ambulance followed. I was in shock, seriously. I watched at a distance as they tried to save what used to be my home. It was now just burnt rubble. Someone came from behind me and held me, pulling me to a car. I looked back, bingu Jay. Olwethu was in the car too. Me: uphi umama no tata? Jay: theyre- I dont kn- Me: I want my parents, Jason. I wasnt yelling or anything, my voice was calm. He locked us in the car, waphuma and ran to the house. He was stopped by a firefighter, bathetha. I looked down at my hands. I could feel that something was wrong. I knew it. But ndathula. Maybe they were just burnt kancinci. Maybe they werent even there ngok bisenzeka lento. Maybe, just maybe, they were fine. I sighed, and didnt look up until I heard a door open. Jay was opening his side. Wangena and sat down. Olwethu: baby? She touched his hand and he snapped and yelled: Khame man, Thandolwethu! She got a fright and pulled her hand back. Jay started the car and sped off, sithule sonke. I was too afraid to ask. Jay dropped us off kulo Olwethu, and sped off again without a word. Olwethu and I walked to her room. Her: do you think something bad happened? Ndamthi phuhlu ngamehlo and then looked down at my hands. I was irritated and paranoid. I wanted to know uba kwenzekani, but Jay was keeping me in the dark... The next morning, I sat up at exactly 5am. I say sat up because I couldnt fall asleep. I was lying down qha. Olwethu was still asleep. I checked my phone. No call from Jay, no nothing. I dialed iinumber zabazali bam. Both of them went to voicemail. I laid back down, and waited until everyone was up... I mustve fallen asleep, because ndothuke ndivuswa ngu Olwethu. I sat up, rubbing my eyes. I got up, went to rinse my mouth and wash my face, she was sitting with Isipho. Her: hey, has Jason called you? I shook my head. Her: oh...you hungry? I shook my head again. Her: you should eat though. Me: Ill eat when Im hungry. Her: ok. We sat for a while longer. Waphinda walala umnta
