Life Can Be A Bit Unkind Book 1

Chapter 17

-MIHLALIKAZI LANGA

"I see that Mihlalikazi"

He says retracting his hand. He takes out something from his fenny pack and it's a hand sanitizer, he applies it on his hands

"Now that we are certain my hands are clean, may I have that hand shake?"

He says making me chuckle, he has an amazing smile. I hand him my hand and we shake hands

"happy?"

He smiles like an idiot. His phone rings and he looks at it and locks it. Ok! He has a girlfriend.

"The name is Bayanda"

He says, I nod. They call out my order number and I raise my hand. They place it in front of me and then leave

"You going to finish all of this?"

He asks and I nod stuffing my mouth with fries "you beautiful"

He says, I chew and swallow "Thank you"

I say, his order is called and they bring the food to my table

"you not a talker are you?"

He asks and I shrug

"its just one of those days"

He's about to respond when his phone rings again, judging by his facial expression its not a pleasant call or one he was waiting for

"What do you want?"

.......

"I'm not getting a job Bakho. You and Bandile can go f*ck yourselves for all I care"

.......

"What? You cant do that! How am I supposed to live? Bakho you not being fair"

........

"I'm going to tell mom what you guys are doing"

......

"Fine. I'll go by later"

....

"I said I'll go there when I am finished with what I'm doing"

He cuts the call angrily. Well he sounds like a spoilt brat "do you have older brothers trying to dictate your life?" I shake my head no

"you lucky. Be grateful you don't have my siblings" He says, to not come across as a bad person I decide to ask

"What did you do? From my experience with having a big brother you do something in order for him to be "unfair""

I say the last word with air quotes

"yesterday morning my brother had to go bail me out of prison for cocaine possession and before you judge, no. its wasn't mine. A friend of mine kept it in my car the previous night. I'm a black guy driving an expensive car in Cape Town, what are the odds of me not being stopped in the middle of the night? I was supposed to meet my friend at this other party so that he could take his stuff but I got arrested instead"

He narrates and all I can assume about him is that he is a rich spoilt brat, so entitled

"Now this was my third arrest following 2 arrests of dui, but that was a few years back. My brothers decided to

punish me by getting me a job at the hotel. Imagine me working at a flipping hotel?! I practically own that place for me to be working in it as a waiter"

He says making me chuckle. He's bratty attitude is actually entertaining and partially annoying

"Maybe your brothers need you to learn a lesson and be responsible. When my brother or parents give such a punishment its usually for me to learn something from it, something that will help me grow and change my mindset. I don't know you but it doesn't take rocket science for me to know that you a rich spoilt brat who is so used to getting everything he wants when he wants it. You feel entitled as if the world or rather your family owes you something when they don't. You're a little young to have been arrested 3 times. You supposed to be in Varsity building your life but the fact that you have friends that keep cocaine in your car says a lot about you trying to destroy the life I'm sure your family is trying so very hard to give you. I suggest you take the job and stop being a bitch!"
