#BOMI

Surely Noma was joking right? I mean Daniel has been dead for 3 years now, how was he standing in my front door. Noma knows my husband died, it was everywhere. Even if you didn't know him when he was alive but you suddenly knew him after he was gone because that's how South Africa is.

Me: Noma that's not funny

Her: Ma'am I swear this is no joke.

She looked shaken herself because her hands weren't that steady. I stood up and went to the kitchen and Noma followed behind me and really the man standing on the other side of the trellidor looked like my husband. Daniel is a twin yes, but everyone knows the man they fell in love with. He always has that thing in him that gives you assurance that its him. So the rumours of him being seen in foreign countries were true... My husband was still alive.

Him: Ndalo Entle

And there was that voice that sent chills down my spine. It was really him. Tears escaped my eyes but I wiped it off quickly. I stood there looking at him. He hadn't changed at all, he hadn't even aged. He was still the handsome man I fell in love with and vowed to spend the rest of my life with. After a good 5 minutes I finally gathered the strength to speak

Me: what is this? What game are you playing at?

I was pissed more than I was happy or sad. Let's just say I had mixed emotions but the emotion at the top was rage.

Him: Sino please let me in so I can explain

Me: who are you and what are you doing here?

Him: Sino it's me

I shook my head No.

Him: Sino it's really me, the man you fell in love with, the man you married on the 10th of January. Please just open this gate so I can explain to you

Me: No. My husband died on the 11th July in a bank robbery, I saw his body at the morgue, I watched his coffin go down on the 20th of July 3 years ago. So who the hell are you?

I was now crying because this was only making me emotional and hurt. I mean how could Daniel put me through this? I was a zombie after his death. I lost my mom that same year and then he goes on and fakes his death? Am I in some kind of a movie? Or better yet are we in Days of Lives whereby people die and come back to life as they please and go about their life as if nothing ever happened? To me it doesn't work like that I'm sorry.

Him: Sino please just let me in so we can talk

Me: No! whoever you are go back to wherever you came from!

I closed the door and went up to my room. All this was too much for me to handle. My husband died, he was shot in places whereby you would never expect someone to survive. I saw his lifeless body at the morgue and it was not a pretty sight. I was hospitalized for a whole flipping week after losing him so him being here had to be a prank. It just had to be.

#DANIEL_HLATHI

Let me take you back 3 years ago on the day I "died". That day I was supposed to meet up with a client and I did, really I was there and I was shot but the bullets missed all the right spots and I was mistaken for someone dead, I was helped by a security guard who rushed me to the hospital before I lost a lot of blood and at the hospital a friend of mine saved me but I asked him to help me fake my death because as long as I was alive, my family was in danger so I had to get away from South Africa. There's an injection that manages to stop your blood from flowing for an hour and that's what they used on me at the morgue to give Sino the idea that I died on the spot and as for my funeral it's not me that they buried, it was one of those people that die and their bodies at the morgue are never claimed so a friend of mine did some plastic surgery on the guy to make him look exactly like me and I must say the guy was convincing the way he looked. These past 3 years I was gone I was haunting my enemies and I must say I succeeded in getting rid of them. I'm not a murderer but I did make them pay for what they did by making them see things that weren't there, I made them believe I was a ghost haunting them from beyond the grave which led to some of them committing suicide and some being put in a mental institution. I hate myself for what I put my wife through honestly, but it had to be done. I love Sinobomi more than life itself and the last thing I'd ever want to do is to hurt her intentionally. I heard movement in the kitchen and so I knocked. And the lady that opened for me opened again

Her: sir I think you should leave

Me: I'm not leaving until I talk to my wife

Her: but...

Me: I didn't get your name

Her: Noma

Me: ok Noma please just open the burglar of my house and let me in so I can speak to my wife

Her: but sir I can't do that

Me: yes, you can. Don't you want Sino to be happy?

Her: I do bu...

Me: no buts. I am Sino's happiness and she and I have a lot to talk about so please do me this favour and I promise you, you will get a raise

Her: Ma'am Sino pays me enough

Ok so she can't be bribed, I like her loyalty to my wife but she was wasting my time right now.

Me: look Noma I need to speak to my wife alone. If the guard can let me in, why can't you?

She thought for some time and then she took out a key and opened.

Me: thank you so much

Her: I didn't do this for you

I left her and looked for her in the lounge but she wasn't there so I went up the stairs to our room and found her face down on the bed.

Me: Sinobomi please just hear me out.

She got up and turned to look at me.

Her: how did you get in?

Me: that doesn't matter. Can you please just let me tell you what happened and then you can do whatever after that

I was standing by the door and she was sitting on the bed with her knees curled up to her chest.

Her: fine talk.

I told her everything that happened and why I did what I did.

Me: I swear to God I didn't mean to cause you so much pain

She was crying. I went close to her

Her: don't come anywhere near me

Me: Sino please!

Her: you think you get to disappear for 3 years and waltz right back into my life and expect things to go as they were? It doesn't work like that Daniel. You hurt me. I landed up in a hospital because of you

Me: I know Miss Ndalo and I am so sorry

Her: why now?

Me: huh?

Her: Why come back now?

Me: I missed you Sino. I missed my wife and our family. I needed to be sure you were safe

Her: and how would you know I was safe and out of harm's way?

Me: I had people keep tabs on you

Her: so you were spying on me? Great

Me: I know no amount of sorry's can undo the pain I caused you but I am hoping that we can try pick up where we left off

She still had her wedding ring on and I had mine. My wife was still as beautiful as the first day I met her. she looked at me for a while.

Her: get out!

I looked at her. I didn't expect this reaction from her. I thought that maybe she'd be happy to see me or something

Her: GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM DANIEL. I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN

Me: What?

Her: I SAID GET OUT. LEAVE!

Me: Sino

Her: Daniel please leave.

I looked at her and saw the damage I had done. I never wanted to hurt my wife the way I did but it was the only way. I walked up to the door and opened it, I looked at her

Me: I love you Ndalo Entle!
