Granny: I don't trust Thandi but if you think it legit I'm happy for you baby, I'll be more than happy after you have got back from there.

Later on I receive a message from uThandi it the address, the name of the company is Sokhulu&sons, I tell her thanks.
I'm so happy as I look for something to wear tomorrow I have to be there by 8.

By 6 I'm already up, sengigezile now I just have to make something to eat ngizodla I sinkwa khona ngeke ngisheshe ngilambe.
After eating I walk to my room to get dressed I wear my black skirt and a shirt ngafaka ne jacket, if I get this job I really need to buy clothes  tjo..

I walk to granny's room to tell her sengyahamba
Me: knock knock gogo, sengiyahamba
Granny : "ngena Nandi sithandaze mtanami" I get in and kneel besides her bed she takes my hands and pray for me. She tells me to be safe
Me: "ngyabonga gogo I'll see you later"

Sakhile: "OK miss Maseko let's see, you've never worked before, I need someone with experience wow your matric result are outstanding why you didn't study further " he says going through my cv
Me :" I stay with my grandmother I couldn't leave her alone her health wasn't good back then so I had to take care of her, I've been looking for a job since then"
Sakhile : "Thandi told me a bit about you I must say I'm surprised by seeing you no of fence but you don't seem like a person that's a friend with her" I'm not even offended
Me: "she's my childhood friend"
Sakhile : Nandi you seem like a decent person so I'll give you a chance even though you don't have an experience by your result I can tell you are a smart person so I believe we won't have a problem
Me : "Thank you so much Mr Sokhulu, I promise you won't regret it" I don't believe this I'm so happy, now I'm scared to tell him that I'm pregnant maybe he'll change his mind or I'll just tell him after I've signed the contract.
Sakhile: "you welcome, come back tomorrow to sign a contract" he says smiling yabo uthandi really came through for me.
Me: "OK Mr Sokhulu" he smiles looking me more like staring, I even get shy and look down
Sakhile: "I'm sorry for staring like that it just that you look so familiar it like I've seen you somewhere" I just smile and bid him farewell
