#6


Next day, Mondli insisted we go see a GP. Something about him was off,
even though I couldn't really pinpoint it. We got ready and left..
Yes, I was 3 months pregnant. I was scared and all I saw in Mr, was blank.
He didn't give away no emotions. We got to the car and he opened the door
for me. How romantic. He went to his side, got in, then reclined the seat,
then just laid there. I had mixed emotions of this whole thing.
Mondli:"So, are you keeping it?" yho, I ran out of air. "Hay man, what am I
asking you? Vele you are keeping it. Eish, this is too much. You are still a
kid. Still at school. Bazothini nje ekhaya? what was I even thinking? why
didn't you buy the morning after? Argh, like you even knew about that.
DAMNIT!!!"

He repeatedly banged on the staring wheel. Without even noticing it, I was
crying. He fixed his seat and started the car.
Mondli:"What do you want to eat?" I kept mute. "oh,ok". stopped at Steers
and went in. I was hurt, broken. From Steers it was Ultra Liqours. He bought
himself a bottle of Jamesone, six Heineken and a mixer. The whole trip
back to his house was in total silence. The tension was just too much.
When we got to his house, he took his booze, sat on the couch and tuned
his Big flat screen to a soccer channel. I just sat there staring into space.


Me:"Please take me to my place". wandijonga nje ubhuti wakhona, then
returned to his drinking.
Me:"Mondli, ndithetha nawe".
Mondli:"I know. please make yourself something to eat, have your
medication and sleep."
Me:"Ndifuna ukuhamba mba".
Mondli:"Baby girl, EAT, HAVE YOUR MEDICATION AND SLEEP!". yho,
ndanyoshozela ukuya ekhitshini, warmed myself some ribbs and went to sit
down and eat.
Modli:"I should have been more careful with you. Now I have ruined your
future." Ndimjamele nje. "I was not ready for that kind of responsibility, let
alone even think of it." tears rolled down my cheecks. "I love you, despite
everything. But, I still wish we got more time to know each other. You are
still in school. You still have a long way to go. I can't help but kick myself
about this. I am suppose to love and look out for you, not this".


Oko ke mna ndinyembezana. He kept taking gulps of his drink. I was a bit
sleepy after taking my medication, so I decided to go take a nap. Ndivuswe
yingxolo ebisenzeka, ngathi kumbharhazwa umnyango kophulwa neGlass.
Andithethi ngezinja nabantu abakhwazayo. Haibo, ngoba akukho zinja nje
apha. Ndixhume kulobhedi ndayotsho egumbini lokuphumla, apho
bendimshiye khona uMondli wam. Thixo, ngumbono mni lona? Ndothuke
ndaphanse ukebelekela kwalapho. "Voetsek, phansi. Phansi sfebe".
Bendikhonjwe ngezake zangakanani zona izibham.
Mondli:"mfethu ngiyaku cela. Ukhulelwe futhi akazi lutho ngale way."
Police:"Fokkof you bloody dog.". litsho limkhaba eli polisa.
Phansi bekulele uMondli, Sipho, nabanye abafana ababini, ababonakalayo
ukuba kudala behanjwa ngesibhaxu. Mondli noSipho bebejamelene, bethetha
ngamehlo.

Mondli turned to look at me while the cops were turning the house upside
down and whispered, "call Slie and tell her to call Sthe. I'm sorry." I was in
tears. To say I was traumatised would be an understatement. I think I even
peed on myself.

Kuze elinye ipolisa leLady lathi ndipakame ndililandele. God, I had really wet
myself, but I cared less. That was the last thing on my mind.
I followed her to the bedroom. Everything was upside down. The whole
house was a mess.
Polisakazi:"uwubani wakuphi, ufunani khona lana?" I shakingly answered
her questions.
Polisakazi:"uphuma ngale emafarm uzobayidikazi emadodeni amadala.
lalela la ke sfebe esincani, uzobolela ejele nalendoda yakho." yho,
ndasethula esofelweyo. To say I was scared, would be a lay. Bekungathi
ndiyaphambana.
Polisakazi:"ngizwile ukuthi ukhulelwe, kusho khona ukuthi uzobelethela
ejele ke sisters. Futhi angazi nje ukuthi ukhalelani ngoba kade kumnandi la,
nidla izidakamizwa nemali yazo nalesisgelekeqe sakho." Ok, what was she
talking about now. I slowly lifted up my head to face her and asked in a low
voice "HUH?"

Polisakazi:"yini, ungazozi dumaza la. wazi kamhlophe ukuthi ngikhuluma
ngani? Wena nondindwa omncane ubusiza lenja yakho ithengise
izidakamiswa". Heh, andazi ba ndifunge kangaphi, ndichaza ba andazinto.
Besele kukhona namanye amapolisa kengoku ndiyucwa ngezithuko. Ndide
ndazolamlelwa ngomnye usisi wepolisa oliNdiya, wathi ndiqoqe konke
okwam bazondisa endlini. Bendingakholwa. Ndiqoqe endikubonayo,
ndashiya endingakuboni. OoMondli bebesele bengasekho bona. Ndithe xa
ndijonga, nde ntla ngephone ka Mondli ivele phansi kwesofa ebebe mlalise
ngakuyo. I quickly took it, lathi lindijonga elapolisa bendiye nalo ngase
kamereni, ndajonga le kude. I quickly put it in the bag and followed them
out. They dropped me off at the flat and I went up to our flat. Slie tried to
bomber me with questions, ndampoxa wathula. I got into bed and tried
unlocking Mondli's phone. Bawo wam, password was Yonela. I was just
trying my luck, yavuma. Andancuma sana. I looked for Sthe's number,
baske babanisi naba Sthe bakule phone.


Me:"Slie, ongiphe amanumber ka Sthe".
Slie:"Oh, manje usufuna ukhuluma nami?"
Me:"uxolo mngani. But please, cela le number tu." She gave me the number
and I called Sthe using Mondli's phone. Yes, atleast now I knew which Sthe
it was. I briefed him on what went on and he told me to give him 10minutes
he was on his way.
Slie:"what's going on?"
Me:"Mondli was arrested."
Slie:"Haw, why? what has he done now?"
Me:"Andazi Slie. I know nothing ." Honestly, this was eating me up. It
wasn't no hormones at all. Slie let me cry and I was grateful. There is this
lump I needed to get rid off on my throat.
Sthe fikile and I replayed the whole incident.
Me:"Is it true?"
Sthe:"ini?"
Me:"The drugs? is he selling drugs?"
Sthe:"That, you will have to ask him yourself. I'm sorry, but I have to go". I
got out his car and he drove off..
