We went to class and who was I fooling trying to concentrate? Liam did the opposite of what I told him, he came to sit right next to me cracking each and every joke he knows. After our morning class all Matriculants were instructed to go to the workshop for our physical sciences test. We did as told, after our 3 hour paper it was now break

I said opening the car door, we drove off
Me: where are we going?
Him: somewhere
Me: does this 'somewhere' have a name?
Him: nope
We drove in silence till we reached our destiny. We got off the car to this beautiful big Mansion it was mostly made of glass
Me: where we at?
Him: (smiles) somewhere around South Africa
I rolled my eyes
We made way to the entrance, when we got in we were welcomed by a beautiful old lady she was in her late 80's I think. The kitchen was black, very beautiful if you ask me
Lady: mnumzane usubuyule (sir you back)
Yenzo: yebo mah (yes mom) where's my daughter?
Lady: she's in her room sleeping
Yenzo: okay thanks
He pulled my hand, we made way upstairs, I was still caught by this beautiful place everything was black. We made way to what I think is a baby room, it was also black ukuthi why nam angaz (I don't know)
Me: why is it black?
Him: because she's Wednesday
Me: is that her name?
Him: that's her second name
He said picking his daughter up, and kissing her forehead
Me: she's beautiful, what is her first name?
Him: her name is Enzokuhle Wednesday Mkhize
Me: those are beautiful names
Him: you like them?
Me: I love them, can I hold her
Him: of course
He hands me the baby
She was now awake, she was so cute with her big blue eyes and her chubby cheeks, this baby is beautiful bathong
Me: why does she have blue eyes?
Him: story for another day
Me: okay, she's beautiful I wonder who she took after
Him: me of course
Me: let me tool
Him: what are you trying to saying?
Me: (smiles) nothing
Him: come let's go to my room, this one is to small it suffocates me
Me: you such a drama queen let's go
We stood up and made way to his room, it is so beautiful, and is black too
Me: this room is beautiful
Him: thank you
Me: so you live alone?
Him: nope I live with my daughter
Me: I know you live with your daughter what I'm asking is don't you like have a girlfriend?
Him: nope it's just me and the little ms in your arms
Me: oh
Him: yes, now come and sit here
He made space next to him
Me: why'd you bring me here?
Him: I wanted you to meet the most important person in my life, my daughter
Me: (smiles) that's nice
Him: and about her mother, I kind of lied when I said she died after giving birth
Me: I don't think I follow
Him: her mother is still alive, her and I were no longer in a relationship when she got pregnant with Wednesday so she left her at my door step with only a blanket and a note saying "I do not want to ever see this thing"
Me: so you telling me that this child has a mother who doesn't want anything to do with her
Him: exactly that
Me: yho what kind of a mother is that? if she didn't want this baby she should have terminated
Him: she said she tried but failed
Me: yho ayy she doesn't deserve to be given the title 'mother'
Him: indeed
Me: so how do you feel? how are you taking all of this with no one helping you?
Him: one step at a time, I promised myself that I would never let anything or anyone hurt my baby no matter what
Me: lucky is her
Him: (smiles) can I get you something to eat
Me: please, I'm starving
Him: say no more
He got up and made his way out
I played with the little ms in my arms till she fell asleep, I gently placed her ontop of the bed and made my way to the kitchen. I got lost three times because this house is huge and has two stairs. On my way downstairs I bumped into the lady we met earlier on
Me: excuse mah could you please lead me to where the kitchen is I'm looking for Yenzo
She looked at me and smiled
Her: come
