[163] I sweetly told my mother that I wouldnt do that, I played the good daughter card just to let her off my face. But I felt terrible that Zuko was turning away from me and getting closer to my mother whereas I was the one who deserved his apology and an explanation more. I lay in bed and I remembered when things used to be all good between us, how I quickly fell in love with someone who was wearing a mask and how even when he took it off I stayed. All the signs were there but I had a way of turning a blind eye to the truth khawuyeke ucinga ngooZuko abangakucingiyo Amanda said softly. I smiled, apart from everything that has happened between us I now saw her as a friend cause she was there for me and helping throughout the whole process. And she was right again, Zuko wasnt worth thinking about cause he was pretty clear he didnt care. So I threw him at the back off my mind and walked with Amanda to Spar. We laughed from all the way to Spar and back, but Svigs car was parked outside our flat and as I soon as he saw us he got out. He clapped his hands and laughed Snazo, khozobalisa kaloku my friend he said. I was still speechless, anger slowly rising from the embarrassment and how lightly he was taking the situation when Amanda jumped in and defended me. She told Svig to mind his own business and she said something about a stolen car which left Svig speechless and shocked then we left him standing there. Before we could get in the flat she stopped oSvig abangeni ndawo kwinto yakho noZuko, suba entertainer she said and then pulled my hand and we walked in. Zimasa was mad at me when she came back, I sensed it when she sent me an essay on WhatsApp asking me why I was even hanging out with someone like Amanda after what theyve done to us. It was such an emotional text that I didnt know how to reply. But I decided to tell her upfront that I was not going to be in the middle of her childish antics, I went on to say that Amanda wasnt as bad as she painted her to be and I concluded by saying that she was helping me deal better with what I was going through. She sent an Ok goodluck text back, Ouch !! I was broke, I missed the days when I could just go shopping or Zuko would just take all of us to the movies. It was time for my mother to pull up her socks and resume giving me those R300s every month. I swallowed my pride and I called him, he picked it up as if hes been waiting for my call. Cupcake, unjani? He said ndicela ushiye istixo I said and I explained that I needed to take my clothes that I left at his place but I didnt want him to be there. He said he was not going to do that uyayazi nawe we desperately need to talk. If you could just. . . I cut the call and I sat in bed thinking. Knowing him, he was not going to me off the hook easily and I desperately needed my clothes cause most of them where there. So I called the only person he could listen to and I explained what had happened not living out even the thinnest detail. To be honest with you, lento undixelela yona sendiyivile but yena khange ayibalise elihlobo uyibalisa ngayo. So ke andiyazi ngomphi uxokayo or ngomphi othetha inyani I started to regret why I called her, of course she was going to take her brothers side. But khabuziyeka ezimpahla. Mayikhe iqale igqithe lento then uyozithatha, phofu kudala ndithetha nani. Andizazi ubuzisaphi nawe impahla zakho pha she said not realising that she wasnt helping . I didnt have to explain that to her so I said goodbye and I dropped the call before she could say anything else. Tamara was out of my list of friends, I couldnt believe what she has done and I partly blamed her for my break up. Even though she explained a thousand times that she was drunk and assured me that it wont happen again I couldnt trust her. Andikhathali noba iphinde yenzeka. So if uyamfuna ungamfumana! I had said out of rage and anger that I had sent Tamara into crocodile tears. I called my mother telling her that I desperately needed cash, she begged me to give her a week cause she was also broke. I even got the idea of selling the luxurious watch that he bought me but I feared of what I would say if he would one day change his mind and want it back. On Saturday I took a taxi with Amanda to some BnB in Quigney where we were meeting her friends who were in East London for the weekend. We had a great evening and I even flirted with a few guys that were there, I was still enjoying the smell of Freedom and being single when Amanda borrowed my bag. I gave it to her, Thirty minutes later she came saying that we should go. We asked the guy I was flirting with to take us home and we even exchanged numbers. We got off outside the flat and when Amanda gave me my bag back and it was heavy. I took a look inside and I was greeted by a camera, a phone opened my eyes in shock and I told her we should take everything back at once. She laughed uligwala!!! then she got in the flat, in the morning I had missed calls from a number I didnt know so I called the person back Sinazo, yes finally. Jonga ndim maarn the guy from lastnight. Apparently somebody broke in wathatha izinto zethu zomsebenzi that we desperately need. So ke Ill be here a few more days till we catch these guys, hoping ndzokubona he said and I said he will with a beating heart. Amanda and Zimasa left for church, Tamara concluded she couldnt stay with me after what I had said and left. I stayed in bed, and I almost dozed off to sleep and I was woken up by a loud knock. I begged myself to get up and I swinged the door open thinking it was Zuko but what I saw was beyond me. unguSinazo? Two policemen stood at the door, I couldnt breath !!!!
