Insert 49 Mom and the church lady were looking at me straight in the eye kunzima nothini, the church lady was very curious about this she kept saying we waiting Lisa hehake sana who died and made her my mother na? I said well....the thing is, something came into my eye so ngoku nisibona sihleli closer to each other he was trying to get it out and- Church lady: your eyes look just fine to me Me: yes ma they are fine thanx to Mtheza, mama he also mentioned that hell be visiting our church next sunday Mom: that will be great, maybe he can convince Lwazi to be a church goer because zange ndambona umntu oyonqena kangaka icawa ingathi ngu nyana wam. Nindothusile Lisa besele ndinovalo ndithele nqa uba nenzani ndingayithini thiza wam lonto andifuni Mtheza ozomosha uLee-lee wam eziphethe kakuhle kangaka. Church lady: yuh mamPhato uyabona abafana bamosha abantwana bethu kufuneka hlelinje sibagadile, ndixakwe yintombi yam ngoku uthe phithi yile nkwenkwe yakhe akamameli. Mom: hayi noko waba right uLee-lee shes always home and goes to church every sunday so I have no complaints. They carried on talking, if she only knew Mtheza was the cause of my bad behaviour in the past shed have a fit. I went to unlock the house while they were having their conversation then went to take off my church clothes and went to the kitchen then poured some juice and some home baked scones for them. They thanked me and carried on with their chat. I went on to prepare for sunday lunch, my phone beeped it was a message from Mtheza saying cant get you out of my mind babe I smiled but decided not to respond. Later on the lady left and I stayed with mom in her room having our own lil convo, I was hoping she wouldnt raise what happened earlier on because she wasnt touching the subject and it was very unlike her to believe me so easily. Surprisingly we talked about something else, I then decided to call it a night and went to bed. The new week started and it was the week before the exams, so we were just revising in class not doing much. On sunday Mtheza called me early in the morning at 06:30 and was like what time does the church service start? Me: at 9am Mtheza: sho ke babe, Ill pick you and mamzo up pha ngo 08:45. Me: you really coming? Mtheza: of course.... Me: oh alright I hung up and got ready for church then wore my black high waist pencil skirt, blue blouse, black heels and white pearl earrings then tied my hair into a bun. I told mom the time Mtheza would be coming and she said okay dear while also getting ready. After a while there was a knock on the door, I went to open and Mtheza was standing in front of me, he took off his shades and went like hey Lee he was wearing a navy blue suite, black shirt, black prada boots and had those stud earrings that made him look like Trey Songz on, I almost screamed and went like heyieeee! But all I could say was hi, just give us 5 minutes we almost done he said sho love and walked back to the car, I closed the door slowly and checked him out then went to take my bible and purse. Mom: okay Im done, lets go sweetie Me: okay mom We locked the door and went to the car, I sat at the back seat while mom sat at the front. They greeted each other and had a small talk while I looked through the window trying to mind my own business. We finally arrived at church and he parked his car, mom said youll enjoy the service mntanam uzobona wena Mtheza smiled and then she left us and went to sit on the other side. Mtheza said Lee wam masambe sohlala efront ndifuna umva kakuhle umfundisi I looked at him and laughed then we went to sit at the 2nd row seat from the front. The service started and we got up and sang, then it was time to welcome the new visitors, so they were asked to stand up. Mtheza stood up together with 5 other people, the pastor welcomed them and Mtheza raised his hands and said sorry pastor may you please allow me to introduce myself to the congregation the pastor agreed then he went to take the mic and went like I greet you all in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ everyone said Amen Mtheza: igama lam ndingu Thembalethu Sokhele but abandaziyo especially ulutsha bandibiza ngeli lithi Mtheza The youth went hallelujah I looked at them raising an eye brow and the dude sitting behind was like hehehe siyamazi kaloku uMthezozo Mtheza: theres nothing much I want to say except to take this opportunity to thank Lisakhanya and her mother Mrs Phato for inviting me to visit their church today, my heart is jumping up and down with joy knowing that today Im in Gods house and Ill be hearing His word which is food for my soul, His word encourages me to be a better man and I know that even though Ive fallen short of sin He forgives and remembers our sins no more, therefore I thank you all for welcoming me into your church today and hope that one day Ill become a full time member The congregation clapped hands and went Hallelujah Amen!..Thats right! I checked mom and she was smiling from ear to ear looking so proud. I couldnt believe these words were coming out of Mthezas mouth. He gave the pastor back the mic and came to sit next to me, I went like wow he winked at me then looked ahead. The service went well, after church he was like lets wait for your mom in the car I said okay masambe we walked together but some guys from church came over to greet him, they went like ta Mtheza its good to see you bra they shoulder bumped and had some small talks, after they left more guys came and some girls and went like awu Dj Mthezozo, I hope well see you next sunday he went like hehe ndizobona boiz he finally got done with socialising and we went to the car and I sat at the front. Me: yuh hayi uyaziwa, yintoni kangaka? Mtheza: Im a celeb kaloku baby Me: er I see.... Mom came over and just when I was about to go out she said I dont mind sitting at the back Lee-lee Mtheza wore his shades and drove off. We arrived at home and mom said you can come and join us for lunch if you not in a hurry Mtheza: Im not at all Ma, Id love to join you He looked at me, I smiled and looked away. I went to change in my room and prepared a quick meal for us then we gathered around the table and ate, I watched him as he said all the right words to mom, she went like yuh uLwazi une chomy eright, ningaze nilahlane he had definitely scored some points. He later on said he had to go then asked for me to walk him out, mom didnt mind. Me: so next sunday uyeza? Mtheza: nah I go to church once a year Me: hehake! Thats so unacceptable Mtheza: to who? Me: to God Mtheza: ulate Lee baby, iJaja ndali ringela kudala uba zkhipha koma what, uyandi understand(a) and aka mindy. Me: oh Mtheza: yeah, I had a great time with you babe Me: Me too Mtheza: Id love to kiss you but Im sure your mom is looking at us through the window, uyabazi onozala ngoba curious I hit his chest playfully and he laughed then we said our goodbyes. He got into his car and drove off. The following week exams started, so all I did was come home and study every day or meet up with the skeem and we study together. We were all dedicated to our books especially Ntombi, she even slept over at my home and we practised mathematics together. I slept over at her home preparing for the physics paper. After all the hard work we were finally done and waited nervously for the June report because we were going to use it to apply fot the universities of our choices. After a week we finally got them then I started with the applications and prayed hard for all to go well. It was finally the June holidays and I was very excited because my bro Anele and his gf were coming back. He arrived and so did Lwazi. So now it was in the evening and we did nothing but tease each other but thats what I missed about them. Lwazi told Anele about how some ugly girls wanted to beat us up with sjamboks at school, Anele was laughing so hard and went like lil sis inoba uphantse wafa yi heart attack, we almost buried you mntase ungatsho nje, uligwala unje! Me: oh please andililo igwala mna and besides I wasnt that scared They both laughed so sarcastically and Lwazi went like mabheka sani you should have seen the way she was running ne chomy zakhe she was even sweating and fear was written all over her face, yoh haike boi eza ntsaiza I thought they were men wearing skirts for a second, in fact men look much better than them andiyazi uba ndingaba fanisa nantoni sani ufanele ulil sis ukoyika, hahaha yoh nomdade benizo moer(wa) straight. Anele: ugeza gqithi lo ungu Lisa kodwa uligwala, Lwazi wont always be around uzothini xa use tertiary? Me: I wont get into trouble Anele: hahaha you better not or uzobethwa Lee Me: argh please ...ta Lwai when is the baby due? Lwazi: September Me: okay kesana I need to do some shopping for the lil one Anele: nam Lee yazi, ey sani ndizoba ngu uncle Me: mmmh akusemnandi kuthi sana Lwazi: mandibeyi ndlela ndidibane nontanga bam Me: haibo so soon ta Lwai? We need to catch up tshi Mom came into the living room and said awuyi ndawu Lwazi uthanda gqithi uzula ebsuku ungu night man Me: krkrkr ungu Batman mama ushota nge costume Lwazi: hehehe sundiqhela Lisa Me: or hes a vampire yazi, do you notice that at night hes always rushing off some where, aka relaxer ufuna ubase sthubeni ubhutiza ebsuku hahaha Lwazi the vampire Lwazi: hahaha sokhe sibone uzophinda unqandelwe ngubani nje ugeza kangaka, next time when you in trouble dont call me ke vha? Me: haibo bhuti Im joking nje Anele and mom laughed and Anele said you have no right kaloku wena Lisa yogezela uLwazi uyayazi yi body guard yakho awuyonto ngaphandle kwakhe Me: eshee Mom: Lwazi ukuxelele uMtheza ebeye nathi ecaweni, ndiyakholwa ke ngula mfana I think hes a very good friend Lwazi: er...yah sho he is oledi Mom: ungaze umlahle, ulunge gqithi you need friends like him in your life Lwazi and Anele looked at each other confused. Anele: wheres all this coming from? uMtheza ulungile? Mom: ewe buza uLisa endlela athetha kamnandi ngayo ngo Thixo ecaweni Lwazi: he was at church? Me: yes, our church Lwazi: oh sho.... Mom: hayi kucacile bendicingela ngalanto ibisenzeka kula motor Lisa Anele: eyphi into? Mom: I saw them in the car together qha kengoku into endibhidayo he was sitting so close to her ingathi kuyaphuzwana kule motor but hayi shame ithe kanti she had something in her eye utsho ke uLee-lee, I didnt want to believe it at first but I think shes telling the truth. Anele looked at me and so did Lwazi, I couldnt look at them so I looked down but I could feel their eyes piercing through my skin, they knew me well enough to know that I was lying. I got up and went to the kitchen trying to avoid them because I knew I was about to be interrogated about this. I took an apple and stood by the kitchen door then I heard a voice say After everything that his done to you uyaphinda ubuyela kuye? Lisa whats wrong with you kutheni nje ungamameli kangaka I turned around slowly and saw Anele standing behind me looking pissed. Me: its not what you think, we not dating Anele: you kissing buddies? Me: no, look Im single Im not involved with Mtheza Anele: he broke your heart Lisa and Lwazi plus everyone else that cares about you had to pick up the pieces when you were feeling all alone and depressed, so ungaphindi wenze imistake yobuyelena nalamntu please lil sis. Dont let him fool you again, forget about him its for the best I nodded and said okay I wont give him a 2nd chance Anele: you making the right decision He came over to hug me, we broke the hug then he went back to the living room to join Lwazi and mom again.
