Chapter 59

Tswalo

****I felt someone shake me. I opened my eyes and sat up. I looked at Kagiso still sleepy.****

Kagsio: we are here

****I looked around and yep he was parked inside the yard. I looked at him. I was scared to open the door and go out. I don't want to see how Saseka looks like. Well she's not here she's where she lives but I am scared to see her. I don't think I want to Bury another child again.****

Kagiso: come on baby, don't overthink its not healthy for the baby

Me: I won't

Kagiso: promise

Me: I promise

Kagiso: come now

****he said getting out. I unbuckled my seatbealt. He opened the door for me and I went out.  He took out my luggage and carried it. I walked to the door a knocked. My mom opened the door and hugged me. I felt at comfort. I pulled out the hug and smiled at her.*****

Mom: Khunjani Tintswalo? (how are you?)

Me: I am fine ma. I guess. And you?

Mom: just fine. So many funerals happening in the family it's not even funny

Me: God knows what he's doing ma

Mom: you go to church now?

Me: no

Mom: welcome son

Kagiso: thank you ma, how are you?

Mom: I'm fine. Come in and sit down

****I was already seated on the couch when Kagiso entered with my mom. They also sat down.****

Mom: aren't you guys hungry?

Me: I am starving ma yoh

Mom: when last did you eat?

Me: uhmm around half past 2. It's 9pm now and I am starving

Mom: why didn't you eat

Kagiso: she's lying, we did stop for her to eat

Me: it was a pje

Kagiso: 2 pies all by yourself

Mom: Kagiso your baby is making my daughter eat a lot. I'll be adding the damages amount

****we all laughed. My mom can be ridiculous sometimes. I stood up and dished up for myself and Kagiso. I gave him his food on a tray with a wet cloth to wipe his hands. I sat down and dug into the food.****

Mom: is she always like this?

Kagiso: yes

Mom: Tswalo slow down

Me: mmmmh?

Mom: slow down.

***i internally rolled my eyes and continue eating my food. I wiped my plate clean and then stood up to get us some drinks. I overhead the conversation my mom had with Kagiso.*****

Mom: so son are you off at work

Kagiso: no ma. I just brought Tswalo here. I am working nightshift tomorrow so I will return to Midrand early in the morning

Mom: ohh okay. But tell me here son

Kagiso: yes ma

Mom: I am asking you why you chose my daughter, why do you want to marry her, why her especially when she has 2 children from her previous marriage. Why her
