"is this some kind of a joke? Course clearly it ain't funny"
V: no its not.
Me: how do I know if this is all fake?
V: but it's written in black and white. You can do other tests.
Me: ain't got no time for rubbish. Masambe B**ga.
V: no Kuhle. Wait!
Me : for ini? You accused me of sleeping with your sister. You accused me and chased me out of your house. And yeah I moved out. What more do you want?😥
Jim: Fortunate please sit down.
-
I sat down.
-
Me: Uncle Jim.. Did you really sleep with my mom?
Jim: yes.. There was a time when your mom was running away from some other gangster. She was in love with him but ended up stealing for him. -
Me: - My mom?? Stealing??
Jim: yes. So that guy wanted to such life out of his body. That's when she came here. V and I have been married for a long time.. After Musa was born. So V was always working. She was a student at Merrydale medical school and also working part time at a restaurant in Waterfront. So I hardly saw her. I was all alone with Your mamma. That when we ended up... *clear throat*.. Sleeping together..
V: Your mother was a damn homewrecker
Me: yeeeeyyy don't you dare. She's my mom after all.
-
Musa was so quiet all along.
-
Musa : I also want to confess..
V: what now my girl??
Musa: ma stop it I'm not a kid.. I. -
V: - I know this came as a shock but -
Musa: ma. Can I speak?.?
V: ohk go ahead
Musa: Thank you. Uhmm I want to confess. Ma when you found Kuhles underwear in Auntie's bedroom.
V: yes when she was sleeping with my sister. Homewrecker just like umawakhe.
Musa : ma please.. The underwear.. I... I planted it
Me : Whaaaaattttt!!!!?!!
V: whaaaat??
Jim: You did what??? So your intention was to see Me and your mother breaking up?
Musa: no no no dad. I just wasn't used to the idea of having a little brother in here. I was used to having everything all to myself. When Ma used to go out with Kuhle I felt sidelined.
Me: but I wasn't here to replace you or whatsoever musa
-
I criedðŸ˜
-
Musa: I'm sorry Kuhle. Can you please forgive me?
-
I shook my head. "You made me look like I'm one hella slut. Just because of your pride and ego? I I.. Can't.. "
-
I ran outside and sat on the doorstep. I just busterd out in tear. B**ga came and hugged me.
-
B**ga: I'm sorry ckm😥
Me: the man who's been hating me so much is my father? The man who wanted me to be a drug lord at his club is my father? No it can't be
The very same man who nearly sold me to Joseph in exchange of my surname is my father
B**ga: sorry achuuz.But look at the bright side. Maybe its a blessing in disguise. I mean uRich uBaba. What more can you ask for?
Me: its not about the money dammit. Its about ubomi bam" and my happiness
B**ga:unga Khali ckmm man! indoda ayikhali..... I'm not good with tears I'll end up crying too.
-
I sniffed and wiped my tears with my back of my hand. I stood up and we went back inside.
-
Me: we have to go. Its getting late.
Jim: you can sleep -
Me: - No..
Jim: alright! Here's R300 you can buy whatever you want on your way.
Me: no I don't want your dirty money..
B**ga: uhm I'll hold onto that..
-
He snatched the money. I took my handbag as well as the envelope. We walked to the car.
We got in and off he drove.
