Insert 21 We hardly had a glimpse of sleep. I was thinking my own sh*t and Zikhona was scared of sleeping with a corpse in the house. We stood up from the tiny single bed we shared and took a bath. We had to hurry because basins were limited. And there were so many of us. Strangely I did not want to bath infront of Zikhona. I usually would but I am sure you understand my situation right now. I waited for her to finish then she left to socialise with her peers. I took a bath, I kept on looking at myself in a mirrow. Comeone I slept with Lazola for two weeks this baby cannot be his. And Siyabonga on the other side, we had months together, almost a year. Siyabonga must be the father. Damn what will mum say. If I go back and tell her I am pregnant I know, I will be homeless. Where will I go? Siyabongas aunt hates me, Lazola lives in Res we cannot live together. I think I need to find myself another man, a martured one with no issues. What will he say about the baby though? Maybe I should sleep with him, then imediately tell him the child is his. Oh God how did this happen? I thought it could never happen to me, Lihle : He ntombi unxiba nini? Kuyiwa ecaweni ngoku, oko zawuhlamba Me : She is talking to you Nontle answer her, stop holding your stomach like that or she will add up the sum Lihle : Helloo Hello anybody home, Nontle! Nontle! Me : ndisothuka Mhh? Lihle : Are you okay baby? Me : unaware of my tears Ewe sisi Lihle : sulila sthandwa sam. It was also hard when I had to bury my mother. I thought it was the end of the world. Come here wandisondeza kuye, something I needed, she gave me one of her warmest hugs, she wiped my tears then she kissed me, he lips soft and not demanding on my lips. A kiss made with love. A kiss I never got from my mother. Lihle : Nxiba ke darling, zakulinda, sohamba ngemoto yam Me : Ohk Sisi I wore my underwear then I pulled up my dress identical to Zikhonas dress. I wore my black velvet heel. Lihle : Umhh girl you got taste thats a beautiful shoe you got there Me : smiling Nkosi Hlehle Lihle : andilithandi ke elo gama lika tamkhulu, call me Lee you see elo its more urban plus ndibizwa njalo, yi fiance yam. she went to the kitchen and she came back with a bowl, full of cornflakes and milk Lihle : Yitya nokuba utye two spoons, you need the energy Me : I took the bowl Enkosi so should I tell Lee about my discovery? Lee was tipsy when she gave the pregnancy test I am sure she forgot all about it Lihle : so hambe njani test? Zithini results? Me : mna?

Me : laughing Oh hay zoba nzima ke leyo, masambe ndigqibile Lihle stood up and even offered to take the bowl for me. She was the big sister I always wanted, someone to talk to. Her friend was sitting elounge yedwa. Lihle : Sorry friend ngokulindisa had to have a pep talk with my lil sis Her : I understand friend Wabeka bowl eKitchen then sangena motweni yakhe that was park right before the gate. Then she drove to Wesile church le ingaku Nonkunzi. Bekugcwele hayi ingaba yokudlala, I followed behind her as she walked tiptoeing on the velvet mat. We did that until we were infront of the church were the family sat. A lot had already been said. They were now reading the reaths. After that the preacher said some words, and we were off to the Grave side, it is close so we left the cars except the undertaker, then we arrived. I was close to Lihle who was crying for her uncle, and her Fiance held her, I did not cry I just looked and listened. I threw sand when I had to. I also wanted to spit on his grave but I had to contain myself. The funeral was done but a lot was to be done, we went back home, Lihle kept a close eye on me. She told me she suspected me and Lazola to be having something more than friendship going on. I did not entertain her though.
