The gay preacher

episode 3

we all have dreams and visions and many times these are brought to us by the wishes we have in our lives. the things we'd like to see change or improve. My wish is to see the society where as a gay man I walk with my partner holding hands in public and not having any fear of hate crime or anyone looking at us as if we are weird creatures. That will take forever to come as some are still facing hate crime from their families and friends. Mvuyisi can tell a better story about this.

They got to the doctor and Mvuyisi was not saying anything on the road, while Sizwe was driving on a high speed. Not knowing how to behave around this stranger he has known his whole life, Sizwe kept on looking at Mvuyisi who's mind was obviously arrested somewhere. his efforts to crack jokes and start small talk returned back to him empty.

The doctor asked a lot of questions and treated Mvuyisi' wounds, injections and gave him pills sending him home.

Sipho: ***on the phone**** hey dude I got your message whats up?

Sandile: damn that took you forever, we need to talk now, what are you up to?

Sipho: I am still at work bro that's why I couldn't pick up I was busy, can't this wait?

Sandile: work huh! fancy, well listen here then mr working man. this can't wait and if this s**t comes out you may kiss your precious job goodbye.

Sipho: eish bro this is messed up okay, wanna talk now?

Sandile: no dummy we can't do this over the phone, lets meet you know where in two hours

Sipho: cool then two hours it is, don't be late. ***dropping the call***

"okay that's it I am really sick of this ***pulling over*** the last time you said anything to me was when you were ordering me to come and pick you up to the doctor and I still don't know what messed you up like this, I am talking to you but you are not saying anything, what the hell is happening"...Sizwe couldn't take it anymore.

Mvuyisi: I am so sorry man I am so confused right now ***opening a door and stepping out*** come let's talk

Sizwe: whats happening, ***coming closer to him*** if you have second thoughts about us its fine just don't shut me out

Mvuyisi: hey hey wait you jumping a gun now, I'll never rethink this. we good relax

Sizwe: then what is it, what's going on, what happened to you?

Mvuyisi: can you just hold me bro please

Sizwe: man you worrying me ***hugging him***

Mvuyisi held on to Sizwe for as long as he could, though his body was in pains but he held on as if life depended on that hug. cars were passing by and some people looked confused seeing two guys on each other in the middle of nowhere.

Sizwe: now talk to me man what's going on?

Mvuyisi: you know what man something I never told you. you remember the very first time you and I went out and I received a call from Wendy?

Sizwe: yes I do, what happened

Mvuyisi: well, when I got home that day I walked into Wendy sucking Sandile's dick

Sizwe: WHAT!!!! ***shocked** wow how did you deal with that, and that's like months ago and you never talked about it why and anyway it still doesn't explain what happened to you.

Mvuyisi: I think it worked at my favour anyway cz I dumped her after that but Sandile and I never got along since then.

Sizwe: dude you and Sandile didn't need Wendy to be where you are now you have always been enemies yet brothers

Mvuyisi: so today then we had a fight and if mom hadn't come through I don't know what could have happened and now we are threatening each other and its serious

Sizwe: ag man relax he's bluffing

Mvuyisi: that's a thing I know he's not, that's a story for another day. Lets go ***both getting in a car***

Sizwe decided that they go to his place so that Mvuyisi may rest a bit while on the other hand Sandile was meeting up with Sipho at their agreed venue. Sandile waited for the whole hour without any sign of Sipho and his phone kept ringing. When he had decided that he is leaving then Sipho walked in.

Sandile: what the f**k is wrong with you, who do you think you are why the hell must I wait for you this long?

Sipho: well boy you need to come down my boss is shitting on my head I have enough stress as it is so I don't need your whining right now right now. let's sit down and talk stop complaining like a 6 month pregnant b***h.

with those words and the tone they were said it, Sandile was left speechless and did just as he was ordered. they sat down and talked for at least two hours, buy the look of things anyone who could have seen them could tell that these two are either brainstorming a very important pitch or they were totally freaking out about something really important. Sandile couldn't keep calm, every now and then he would stand up walk around scratching his head, or kicking the chair as for Sipho he didn't have his tie on anymore. It was obvious that they had to come up with an answer for whatever that was the pressing issue:

Sandile: your problem is that you are too weak man, you are too damn soft

Sipho: you must be out of your mind this is your brother that we are talking about here, your own flesh and blood are you crazy

Sandile: I am not crazy I'm desperate and I hate being desperate. I did it to Lizzy I can do it easily with Mvuyisi. nigga look at me they would eat me alive in jail I can't survive a day in there

Sipho: and on the other hand, that would mean I lose my job and join you in jail, I can't have that but I still don't think this is the best solution we need to meet again and talk more.

It is obvious then that they spent the whole two hours and still didn't come up with the solution

Sizwe: its getting late your mom will be worried about you

Mvuyisi: ***smiling*** am I a child now?

Sizwe: no man lol... but look at yourself you are in no state to be outdoors

Mvuyisi: and I'm not, I'm in my boyfriend's room, on that note can you pass me my phone I need to call mom.....***on the phone*** hey mom, are you home yet?

MaCele: ***on the phone***yes boy where are you and where is your brother I have started cooking you better be on your way home wherever you are.

Mvuyisi: that's what I'm calling about, don't wait up for me I'm at Sizwe's I'll see you in the morning ***drops the call***

Sizwe: and what is that all about ***wide smile*** what am I going to do with you the whole night looing like this lol

Mvuyisi: my love I'd like to spend the night here I don't feel like going home tonight just wanna be with you

Sizwe: babe you are home here you don't have to ask, let me just tell mom so that they prepare food for us ***standing up***

Mvuyisi: ***pulling him back to bed where they are sitting*** wait food can wait, listen ***holding his hand*** I love you with all my heart you know that right?

Sizwe: why you catching on feelings now?

Mvuyisi: its been a year and 3 months you and I doing this and I love it everyday, there's not a day where I wanna wake up without you. you are a big part of my life everything I want in life has in it once again, no matter what happens never forget how much I love you.

Sizwe: Vuyi you worrying me what's going on

Mvuyisi: do me a favour lend me your car I need to take care of something will be back in few.

Sizwe: I can drive you wherever you going you can't be driving in this condition

Mvuyisi: trust me babe I have to do this alone, I'll be back before you blink ***taking keys, kissing him and walking out*** remember this guy here loves you.

HE WALKS OUT.....
