•••Insert #16••• [Banzis house] Mr Peters (my doctor) got home later that day, he was still amused about what he had seen at the hospital. The shock of seeing me like that beaten up by the same people I call my parents. He got home and dinner was already cooked and ready with the table already set. His wife gave him water to wash his hands before they ate. She then called Banzi and his lil sis Lulo(9) to come and eat and he came from his room, he paused his game and went down to eat. While eating his father couldnt help but talk about what he had seen Mr P:Heey bakhohlakele marn abanye abazali. Imbi marn into endiybone namhlanje Mrs P:Yinton ngoku tata? Mr P:I had a patient today severely beaten up by her parents, m talking bruises everywhere, broken ribs, worse she was unconscious. MrsP:Haybo! Are yu serious? Are u sure ubethwe kowabo?

Wayesele ecinga kaninzi ngoku but at the same time he was trying not to think negative. What if it was me that his father was talking about? He tried to let his thoughts go and continued with his game but his fathers words were ringing in his head when he mentoned my name, but the bad thing is he didnt know my surname. He took his phone and dialed Asi Asi:Hellow Banzi:Hey sorry to bother u this late but is Liso okay? Asi:And you are? Banzi:Oh nguBanzi sorry forgot u dont have my number Asi:Oh Banzi askies..
