Chapter 2

It's not even 5 yet there's noise ,eish I should probably wake up cause I can't sleep while there is noise, I push the blankets and head straight to the dining room. I couldn't believe my eyes Everyone is awake watching a movie playing happy family...

Londiwe- morning,why is everyone awake at this time, some of us are sleeping and yet you guys are making noise

Asiphe- I couldn't sleep so I opted to watch TV since I don't have data, then mom and dad joined me

Londiwe-"mom", I kept that thought to myself

Mom-.. sorry for waking you up with noise,I know how you don't like to be disturbed with noise baby..

Londiwe-.. it's fine mom what's done it's done, I'll prepare for work early today then..

I prepared myself for work, then I remembered I didn't go to the bank to put money in since I want to start saving I took out my piggy bank then put R200 inside then went to make myself some breakfast.

Breakfast for 1 is what I'm making,after I sit on the chair everyone comes running to the kitchen

Dad-..so you only made breakfast for yourself, what are the rest of us suppose to eat ,your mother hasn't taught you anything....

I kept quiet I wasn't going to talk since my mom is here, she can defend herself They watched me eating while my mom was preparing food for them

After I went to rinse my mouth then went to work,on my way to the car stop right in front of me

..sorry buthi I'm running late I can't entertain you right now..

"It's okay my name is Sam,I saw you yesterday at your workplace I'll pop in today to greet you properly"-he says

My feet are killing me work was busy today after knocking off I went to the bank and deposited money, just when I'm going to catch a taxi the same car I saw in the morning pops out of nowhere, the guy says I must get in he doesn't bite

Sam-..I won't allow a pretty lady like you catch a taxi while I'm here, promise I don't bite

Londiwe-.. I get inside... Then please don't r**e,beat me and kill me, I don't know why I got inside your car while we still fighting the GBV out here

Sam-.. I'm not a coward and I'm not an animal believe Ntombi enhle

Londiwe-.. ok let me take my chances

Sam-.. where to go from here ..

I gave him the directions to my house then kept quiet, the drive is awkward no one says anything it's like we are talking with our minds and eyes.

Sam-.. should I drop you off at the corner or your gate

Londiwe-.. corner is fine I don't want my mom getting some ideas

Sam-.. I won't mind being her son in law,can I get your number then I'll call you to get your name since you didn't tell me..

I just got out of the car fast before I gave him my numbers and before he lock me inside, I did a little jog to my house,then went to my room fast before everyone asks me why I'm running.

"I'm tired, then get to my room to find that there's a thief in this house fu*k".. I'm screaming, Mom comes to my room to see what I'm talking about

Londiwe-.. do you see you invited their in this house mom, who stole money from my piggy bank

Mom-.. stop screaming Londiwe , ikuphi inhlonipho

Your dad wanted beer,and your sister wanted data

And you know I only get paid month end so stop making a fuss over petty cash

Dad-.. Londiwe stop being a spoilt brat, I'm your father everything in this house is mine and the money too

Londiwe-.. everyone get out of my room

Asiphe-.. I'm sorry, I'm the one who saw that your piggy bank had money then told dad,the thing is I was bored I needed data

Londiwe-.. please get out of my room I need to sleep asiph

I could here them talking about me from the kitchen since my room is closer

Londiwe-.. gosh mom what do you want now I'm trying to sleep

Mom-.. baby sorry for the way I talked to you,I don't know what's going on with me since your dad came back

Londiwe-.. you are changing towards me ,it's like I don't know who you are becoming now

Mom-. I've been feeling sick lately, I think I should go see a Doctor because I feel my body shutting down.

I couldn't sleep since my mother left the room , what's really going on with her , since bringing her husband back was a huge mistake

Waking up today is a struggle I find my mom in the kitchen alone..

Londiwe-..okay this is the first where are your friends

Mom-.. ngizokushaya, everyone is sleeping,I told you I'm going to see a Doctor today

Londiwe-..okay here's money for the taxi and doctor,hope it's nothing major

Londiwe-.. I work for my money,he's not even my boyfriend guys

Everyone go about their day so am I, I can't believe this why is Sam here I'm serving a customer but my eyes are at the door after serving I rush to the kiosk cause I heard he left the persel there

Londiwe-.. I laugh while I'm opening this cause I can clearly see what's inside ,is thus guy crazy or he doesn't know what to spend his money on, ngiyaphapha nam' why did I say I don't have a phone

Busi-.. nwenwe I'm not dating the guy, who would buy a random person the latest iPhone tell me

Londiwe-.. truth is he wants me and he wanted my number then I told her I don't have a phone

Busi-.. girl just stop playing hard to get ,he's showing you that he can go miles to make you his girlfriend

Busi-.. who wouldn't be, phela she's still using Nokia, let me get back to work

Knock off time, the manager is giving me lecture on how I must not trust a man who buys expensive gifts I just ignored her and went out

Londiwe-.. don't you have anywhere you could be, what are you doing for a living, buying me that expensive phone but you're always here to pick me up
