PART 19
[Langa]
I went to my room after a meeting with the alders, I could not sleep, time was it's almost 23:00, I switched my phone on, I wanted to call Zoe but it was too late, it was hard to love a person while her family think you not good for her, I tried so bad to suppress my feeling for her but you know the heart wants what it wants, I send her text
"hay baby I'm sorry. .." before I can continue with writing I heardLubanzi in passage shouting
" feel free to leave if you not going to follow my rules, uyezwa "
they were banging of doors I had to check out what's up with the noise, I saw the light was on in the kitchen and Lubanzi was seating on the table eating a bowl ya masi , really this guy at this hourme: sho!"
he nodded, I pulled a stool and set next to him
Me: what up ?"
him: I don't want to talk about it? what'up with you why you not sleeping?"
Me: don't want to talk about it also"
we chuckled...
me: women problem got a man-eating amasi in the middle of the night" we laughed
him: aish bafo "
we talked about a whole lot of stuff, watched t.v, soccer and comedy shows, till we dozed off, I woke up when I had my mom voice talking to Lubanzi
her is he OK kodwa?"
him: yaa he is just in love "
her: but ozoletha umlungu leykhaya yoo kodwa uLanga "
I opened my eyes and smiled
me: she is not white, just mixed"
I woke up and kissed her cheek,
me: good morning mom"
she smiles at meher: yayaya! you call this mixed look at her she was holding my phone paging on my gallery and looking at Zoe pics, so let me tell you about my mom she is so full of life bubbly and she has no filter, she is very talkative
me: so mom what for breakfast, and please hand me my phone before you see inappropriate stuff "
her: don't change the subject, hayboo this girl is how old 16?"
me: mom !!
her: you broke her cherry and did not think about how this might unfold?" she placed my phone on the table and folded her armsme:hayboo ma, I can not have this talk with you"
her: don't hayboo me, on top of it she fell pregnant, hayboo Langa, where was your head "
Lubanzi: as in where was the condom? "
I gave him a look and he just winked at me: didn't I teach you the basics about sex, but you were blinded by yellow thighs, wasangana manje,? pussy was so good and tight and you forgot protection? "
me: mom point of correction she is turning 18, and yes I was blinded by love, konje why am I telling u this?"she was angry at one point but was laughing and shouting, she attempted to hit me, and joked about it, she was just driving me crazy, with her loud voice this
women have split personality truth be told
me: mom, please! "I just left the room, I heard her laughing with Lubanzi , now this situation just became a joke grate, I took shower and I had a long talk with
Dad after breakfast then called Zoe's aunt and told her about our plans, we were planning on paying for damages, his phone was on loudspeakerfather:sawbona, Miss Msomi"
I didn't know her name but I knew she never married and was a school teacher, so Miss it was
Zoe Aunt: yes it she "
Dad: I'm Bab Dlamini, Langa's father"
z/a: ooh sawbones"
Dad: I'm sorry to call you and bother you with matters that need to be discussed by man "
Z/A: if you don't mind me asking sir, what matter are you talking about ?"Dad: please set up a meeting with your brother, we need to discuss the matter ka Lang yokuncolisa umuzi waka Msomi"

Dad: thank you for your time, I will wait for your call "
Z/A: thank you, and goodbye"
call end, he looked at me and Lubanzi, pointing a finger at Lubanzi you know, what to do right ?"Lubanzi: yes I'm on it ( he took out his phone and started typing )
Dad: good "then he looked at me,
Dad: I need money to do this, how much do you have"
I looked at him and was like hayboo are you serious, this man is the richest man I know own a Suger plantation company he is CEO to top it up, why does he want money from me, hayboo"
me: you not serious "him: I am, it's your mess take responsibility"
I breathe out loud
Me: I have about R80k on my savings account plus my trust fund and account I haven't used much on it "
Dad: how much do you think she worth ...."
Me: every penny "
my mom just budged in and started shouting
mom: yaphela imali yakaDlamini ngenxa yabelungu tixo", lubanzi took his phone and left the room, I just dropped my head, these women continued to talk waya, waya ... I went to my room switched my phone on, voice messages and endless WhatsApp message from Zoe, email came flooding in, I just ignore them, and decided to call her, she picks up immediately
her: Langa, why was your phone off? almost 2 days why?"me: I'm sorry baby something came up"
Zoe: like what, you are weekend off, and you ignored me ?"
she raised her voice wow she was mad
her: people are mocking me, Langa, they calling me names, I don't know how my days will be like at school, I'm the talk of the town, where were you when I needed you the most"my heart just braked, she was sad I mean really heartbroken, I wish I could hold her
me: Zoe, baby please be strong for me, never allow a person to break you, you are stronger than that think, please don't cry "
she sniffed
me: I don't know if I can remain strong a lot has happened and I can not fight every demon, I'm just too weak"
me: take one punch at a time baby, I'm with you through it all,"
her: I miss you"
me: I Miss you more"
she was now relaxed and told me about the girls that mocked her and how she almost showed them flames, yaa she might as well have shown them,
we joked a lot and she told me she is a pro driver now, and she was missing Mpume who was forever occupied with her man, I told her it will get better when school are open, I told her that I was home and the network was acting up, yes I lied
but what other reason I had cause I didn't want to tell her about what my family had planned, she had to go because her food was getting burnt which was always the case with her when she is cooking, I laughed at the thought,
me: I love you "
her: I love you too"she dropped the call, I smiled to myself and now I understand what I have to do
