All three of us, Mthobisi, Mali and myself went silent, we were speechless after hearing what Thandie went through. The silence was broken by Mavis clearing her throat she had been standing at the kitchen door the whole time, everyone turned to look at her and she said “I was just coming to clear the […]
After fifteen minutes of sitting in the car my phone rang, it was my husband I ignored the call, he kept calling until I eventually could not take the ringing and picked up and before I could even explain why I had delayed he said “Lesedi, get back here right now.” And hung up I […]
Mthobisi walked and to find my phone on the phone shattered, I guess he must have heard the sound of something falling and came to inspect what was going. “Honey, what’s wrong?” he asked looking at my obviously shocked and confused face, I stared at him dumb-founded, I couldn’t find my voice, the words wouldn’t […]
Okay I was being unreasonable, Mali was family and he needed my help. I called him back and apologised for being so rude to him, I told him there was enough room for all of us in the house, I told him to come over and I could hear the relief in his voice when […]
“Thandie if we pay this person they will be winning, we cannot allow this fool to win.” I didn’t know how else to explain this to her, I wanted her to know that we will not be paying anything to anyone. “We might pay him now and he goes silent for a few months and […]
I looked at her then at the picture I was so confused, what the hell was this? She’s a child for crying out loud. I knew I was not ready to be a guardian of a teenager, no wonder parents who have teenage girls are always stressed. I needed to calm myself down, I walked […]
Mali went white in the face; my brother was really shit scared of his wife. He started pacing up and down with his palms sweeting. “Lesedi come on, you know how Sue gets, she will not understand and look at this house it’s not conducive for a teenager, Sue like to keep a clean house […]
It was as if my ears were ringing, I could see Mavis was talking but the was just a loud ringing sound in my ears covering everything she was saying, all li heard was Lizeka had been at my house, that crazy killing bitch had set her dirty feet at my house? Who did she […]
My friends were serious, I hate my mother in law with every fibre in my being but deep down I had always wished that she would change her feelings towards me and accept me as her daughter just lime my parents took my husband as their son but that was wishful thinking. If I was […]
Our original doctor who was now the group leader of these doctors was the first one to speak, “We came to different conclusions and we will afford you the opportunity to choose between the two conclusions and just remember whatever decision you go with today you will have to live with it for the rest […]
I know my husband means well but how was he not freaking out like I was? How was he not scared like I was? How was he not losing his mind like I was? This was not an everyday average thing that just happened to a person daily, this was not like buying bread, this […]
“I’m sorry what? Today? No, no, no you can’t.” I said standing up ready to walk out the room, he was crazy if he thought I was going to allow him to cut my husband’s legs. The doctor stood up and started explaining to me how critical it was that something be done sooner rather […]
