Scene 94 When it was starting to get dark, tired and drained as I was, I started walking. Ndingazi nokba ndyaphi, bendoyika nyani kodwa-ke, what else can I do?! This is the worst day of my life, zange ndacing ukba int enje ingenzeka kum! Yuuu! A car stopped near meh, I turned slowly, it was the same car that Josta was driving, kodwa this time ibiqhutywa nguSphe. He got outta the car and came to meh. He had blood on his clothes, loonto indothusile. Meh: Uph uJosta? Sphe: Mmh, besengithi ngeke ngsakthola. Ngcela ungene emotweni, ngyakcela. I looked at him for a while. Ngyakcela. He opened the door for meh then I got in. He also got in the car and drove away. Meh: Uph uJosta Sphephelo? Sphe: Ngesiny iskhathi kmele sbulale ukuze ksinde abanye. Meh: Utheth ukthini-ke ngoku? Umbulele? Sphe: Mfethu, kunganjani uthule? Meh: Hayi, ndthule njani unegazi nje? Sphe: Ngcela ukyoshintsha lezi zngubo then ngikyise ekhaya. Meh: Kanjalo nje? The Ntsika issue? Sphe: Bekuyi-plan kaJosta leyo, mina angzwani nokulwa mfethu. Manje ngzoxolisa kahle kuNtsika, kukyena ukuthi uyaxola noma cha, angsekho kodwa mina lapho. Meh: Uyayaz ukba uzoqal umlo xa edibana nawe. Sphe: Ayikh inkinga, anglona igwala, ukuthi nje ngyathand ukveza izinyo futhi eyam inhliziyo ilula. I looked away and just breathed. Somehow Im happy that he killed Josta, if he did kill him. Ndyolala kweyam i-bed ngoku, yuuu ndaygqibela nini?! Andaz ukba why I was so calm in this whole situation, iyandothusa nam le nto! Have I experienced worse that I am no longer scared?! How many bullets have I dodged?! The problems I had to face?! Its true, Im strong. I kept quiet until we arrived at his place. Sphe: Woza nawe, ukuze uzodla. I got outta the car, with my bag then we went into the house. It was just a 4-roomed house but it was really dope. He went straight to the kitchen and came back with a 2lt plastic bottle. Sphe: Ngsayoshisa. Meh: Umbulele nyani? Sphe: Aw yebo Nkosi yami! Meh: Ngoba?! Ngumhlobo wakho njena. Sphe: Akakaze abe umngani wami, into enghlalise naye ukuthi bengngafun uksala ngedwa. Manje sengyabon ukuthi bekfana nje ngisho ekhona. Uyabona manje, ngthol ukuthi ulale nengane yasedladleni futhi ebeqhosha ngalokho, engchomela, cabanga. Meh: Hay wethu! Wambulala?! Sphe: Unengculazi loya muntu, futhi kade ene-drop. Vele kade ngangimbalela, namhlanje bekmele nje ngimcishe. Meh: Yuuu! Thixo. I sat down on the sofa, I really couldnt believe him. I didnt even think that he was capable of killing someone. Sphe: Besides, ebengafuni nemoto ukuze nglande wena, salwa-ke. Uyabo mina, angnamngani la. Ngizphilela ngedwa nje. Meh: Kutheni ungachommani noNtsika nje? Sphe: Bayangzonda bonke, futhi abangthembi. Meh: Usindis ubomi bam wethu. Ulungile. Sphe: Lutho, mina ngyabulala. Yilowo umsebenzi wami, uklunga kukude nami. Meh: Uzpholele nje, awuzsoli? Sphe: Unembeza kade waphela la kmina, angnandaba nomuntu ongangphakeli. He got out with the paraffin in the bottle. I went to the bathroom and wore my panty that I had taken outta my handbag. I washed my face with water then went to the kitchen. Ndavul i-fridge, lo mntu akatyi nex! There was only yoghurt, milk, jam, cheese, rama, unfinished pizza and polony in the fridge. I took out polony, rama and cheese then I took bread from the bread tin and made a sandwich for myself. He came to the kitchen and sat on the counter, wearing clean clothes. Meh: Kutheni i-fridge lakho li-empty nje? Sphe: Angidli njalo la, ngidla ekhaya ka-N. Meh: Oh, alright. What about booze? Sphe: Angphuzi, angbhemi. Meh: Wow! Ndizifumanele wena nje. He laughed. Sphe: Ai cha, ngeke klunge uNtsika ela. Kodwa umbekezelela kanjani nje? Meh: U-sweet kum wethu, into nje une-moments zakhe kodwa deep down, ulungile. Sphe: Hehe, angkholwa. Meh: Ndyakxelela wethu. Ndcel ukba undyise kuNtsika xa ndgqib apha. Sphe: Ayikh inkinga. . . . Ntsika ended up in a forest, searching for Josta, since the tracker said he was there. He found him laying on the ground, next to a tree, dead. He looked at him for a while, then shouted, Yoliswa! Nothing, he shouted again, nothing then he looked at Josta in anger. Mmh, nx! He went through Jostas pockets and took out Jostas phone then ran outta the forest to his car. He got in then drove away in full speed. All the way, he was trying to call Yoliswa. He stopped under some dodgy bridge and got outta the car. He took a rock and crashed Jostas phone into small pieces, you could hardly see what it was then he took his simcard and broke it and threw it away. He got back in the car then drove away to his house. As he was driving, his brain was super active. He kept on thinking what if Yoliswa was dead, gang-raped or even paining wherever she was?! He hit the steering wheel as tears fell down. I failed her! he said as he threw his back on the back of the seat. He drove like a mad man, for sure he got a ticket. He parked his car in his yard, then hooted his car. Mxm! Ndthixile. He stomped outta the car and unlocked the door. Nomvelo! Nomvelo: Yebo? Ntsika: Yiza maan! Whenever he spoke Xhosa towards a Zulu, it meant that he was either angry or deeply hurt. Nomvelo got out then Ntsika locked. Nomvelo: Ubukhala yini? Ntsika: Ndlilela ntoni? Sukunddika wena, khawngen emotweni! Nomvelo: Kanti ungumXhosa. Ntsika: Eish. He locked the house and got in the car as Nomvelo also got in then he drove away. Nomvelo: Ngimfonelile uMah, ngamchazela. Ntsika: Wenze kakhle. Nomvelo: Ngzokbona nini futhi? I love Xhosa guys. I mean, I love Xhosa. Ntsika: Emaphushweni. Nomvelo kept quiet after that until they arrived at K section. Nomvelo got out, when she was about to say goodbye through the window, the car was already leaving. Ntsikas father called him, he looked at the phone for a while then answered. Ntsika: Hello. Mr Mpinga: Ntsika kuthen... Ntsika: NguNtsika Mpinga lo othethayo. You have just missed meh, but dont worry, Ill get back to you only if you leave a message, after these three beeps, tu, tu, tu. He hung up and switched off his phone. He was in no mood to be shouted at, worse ngutat akhe! He got in his house, locked and lightened up the whole house and went to his bedroom. He laid on his bed then tried calling Yoliswa again after switching on his phone, voicemail. Vuyiswa called him, he ignored her cause he had lied to her and told her that Yoliswa was just fine. Ntsika: Theres only one more thing... He kneeled down, he was outta options and praying was all he could do. Bawo, Qamata. Ndiza kuwe, andazi ngoba ktheni, Im sure nawe wothukile aph ukhoyo ukba umbulali nesela lfuna ntoni kuwe. Kodwa ndakcela Yesu, khawjong uYoliswa aph ekhoyo xa esaphila. Undsize ndimfumane. Ndakthembis ukba xa ungandenzela loonto, ndyabyek ubgintsa bam Thixo. Andazi nam ndenze ntoni-ke ngoku, ndiphelelwe. Amandla am aphel apha, uyayazi nawe loonto. Ndizakyeka ukba sisikelemnqa, ndakcela Thixo onothando. I smiled as a tear fell down my cheeks. Of course he didnt hear meh get in, luckily I have my own key. Meh: Amen. He kept quiet for a while, without looking at meh. Ntsika: Inob uThixo unesgezo nyani. He turned around. Hhe maan, Yoliswa?! He smiled. Meh: Ewe ndim, phakama. He got up and we hugged so tightly. Ntsika: Yuuuuu! Lo mfo nguYesu kanene! I laughed as he picked meh up and span around meh. Meh: Ndikvil ukba ubgintsa uyohlukana nabo. Ntsika: Tyini! Khange ndiythethe mna loonto. I laughed. Meh: Bendyazi kakade wethu! He put meh down and smiled. Ntsika: Mntu wam, ndakthanda and ngoku ndikthanda worse, inoba ndyaphambana ngoku! Ndkwazi nokthandaza. Meh: Ncooo sthandwa sam, ndakthanda nam. Too sweet!! Happy Meh!! :)
