#127 I wasnt sure I could even drive back home that night. Lupe has a twin? How come nobody ever told me that I have a brother? Even when I lost my brother, didnt they think that was a convenient time? I had so many questions going through my head and I just wanted to wake my father up and ask him to tell me everything but when I looked at him, his frail body was sleeping peacefully. His chest rose and fell, I was so hurt to see my father looking so sickly, he was always a man with so much life, zest and strength but seeing him weak like that, it was just so hard. I sat with him, ndimjongile nje, it was getting late but I didnt feel like going anywhere and leaving him like that. I held his hand and cried silently, I just didnt know how to deal with losing my father, ndimbukele esifa phambi kwam :( . I heard him moan and I jumped up Me daddy? He groaned again Dad hey uselapha? I smiled and nodded mm baphi abanye? Me uhm they left, Mama just went to freshen up Dad washiyekelani wena? I squeezed his hand Me Im not leaving you Dad you need to go home, ndizobe ndisekhona nangomso I wasnt sure about that, I was scared to just leave him then ndibuye ngomso kusithiwa......tears trickled down my face hay sisi sukhala, its going to be alright Me *crying* kanjani? Im losing you Dad Ill always be with you baby, please dont cry okay? Daddy loves you yho that made me cry even more, ndaziva ba ndinesingqala, I felt someone put their arms around me, when I looked up it was my step mom, I held on to her as I cried my heart out, yho but why does life have to be so unfair to me? Later on I drove to Northcrest, ndafika uNelly esahleli. She was just staring blankly at the tv but ndimbona ba uyijonge nje. I went to sit next to her, we hugged for a long time until she spoke Nelly Ive been such a disappointment to him, I was a horrible daughter and now Ill never get the chance to make him.proud of me Me no sis, suthetha kanjalo. Utata is proud of all of us, what we have all achieved and done with our lives Nelly I got pregnant and failed a class, Im supposed to be in Varsity but Im still in matric. He was so disappointed yet he supported me and encouraged me to go on, whos going to do all those things for me now? When hes gone, ndizothethelelwa ngubani? Me he said to me, hell always be with us Nelly its hard you know Me Nelly, Im always here for you. Whenever you need me, Im here okay she nodded so wheres that gorgeous niece of mine she smiled Nelly asleep, uzambona ngomso I smiled faintly and looked at the tv, sabukela nje until mama came back. I was worried about her, it seemed like she wasnt handling this as well as she wanted us to think. The next morning, ndeva ngezandla ezincinci zindibamba, at first I forgot where I was so ndacinga ba its one of the twins Zina Sino wam I groaned and smiled, I knew who it was cos the twins dont know eligama lika Sino, they only know Liya. I opened my eyes and there was my cute yellow bone, I sat up and took her Me molo Zina wam Zina ufike nini wena? She was now 4 years old Me fike izolo baby Zina bendiphi mna? Me bulele sana lwam Zina ampo...theni wangandivusi? Me sorry bhabha va she nodded. I heard a light knock come in the door opened slowly and Sine walked in. She was so thin, yho this whole thing must be taking a toll on her the worst, kaloku shes always been daddys little girl hey baby girl, come here she came running and I held her tightly, she started crying kabuhlungu, I did my best to comfort her but I couldnt cos nam ndandingulowo Zina ulilelani Sine? Me myeke baby va? Hamba uye kuNelly akwenzele ukutya she nodded then wahamba. Sine stopped crying and looked at me were going to be just fine baby Sine how do you know? Me you know when I lost my big.... Ndatsho ndacinga ba tchin kanene I have another big brother Sine Sino? She patted my arm Me oh...uh...I was saying, when I lost my brother, I felt like the whole world had just come crashing down on me. I asked myself what will I ever be without him but look at me now, I turned out just fine right? Sine yes you did, but how will I ever be fine? Im not strong like you Me you will be just fine baby, you have me she smiled oh is that a smile Im seeing? She giggled Sine Im blessed Me we all are, that we have each other Sine I love you Me I love you too my baby then we shared a hug :) . Later on I went to the hospital with Nelly and Sine, Zina washiyeka nomakhulu wakhe from her fathers side. Ma was in town getting a few things for the house, my mom said shed meet me at the hospital. I was anxious about meeting this other brother I supposedly have. I couldnt tell if I was excited or just plain nervous. We arrived at the hospital and went to straight to my dads ward. He was awake and he tried to smile, I went to kiss him lightly, he looked so much better, eyeke nokuba pale, engathi ubuyela egazini futhi. Me uziva njani namhlanje daddy? Dad a little better, hello my lovely ladies they went to kiss him too khandiphe amanzi baby Nelly went to get him the water, sahlala nje sincokola kamnandi kodwa intliziyo yona ibuhlungu kakhulu. My mom walked in and I jumped up to hug her, she squeezed me tightly for a long time. Mom unjani sisi? She kissed my forehead Me ndiright ma, wena? Mom so so.... She went to my dad, bathethe nje kancinci then ndakhumbula the whole twin thing, I cleared my throat Me mom, what is this about Lupe being a twin? Mom *shocked* what?! Me yes, Luphumlo has a twin? Who is he? She looked at my dad Dad ndimxelele, he should be here any second now Me you had twins and you didnt even bother to tell us? Me? Where is he and what did you do with him after you gave birth? Why did.... I heard someone clear their throat emnyango, I turned to look at him Me *confused and shocked* Yonda? He stared right back at me with the same expression written all over his face Yonda Sino?......
