S’bu decided to play along and not tell Thandi that he knew about Bonga. He will wait for Thandi come back from the village then put his plan into motion.
Thandi had not received any calls or messages from S’bu since the day she lied to him about Bonga and was satisfied that he won’t be bothering her anymore. When she got back to the city, she went to see Mandy who had been begging her to come over. It turned out Mandy wanted to be introduced to Bonga whom she found to be very handsome. Mandy would not take no for an answer, so she agreed to help her. When Thandi was about to leave, Mrs J asked her to get her charger from S’bu’s room and asked Mandy to make snacks for them. The last place Thandi wanted to be was in S’bu’s room but she could not refuse an elder, that was considered very rude and besides it looked like S’bu was not around.When she got to S’bus house she started looking for the charger. She looked in the lounge and the kitchen with no sucS’bu was so excited that he posted on his social media wall that “guest what, she loves me too but i need to prove that I’m worthy of that love. Gents help me out here”. Within minutes a lot of his friends, admires and followers congratulated him and sent suggestions on how he can prove himself. The girl that brought S’bu to his knees, I salute her, one of his friends commented. He had posted so much about persuading Thandi to be his girlfriend that everyone knew whom he was talking about on his post without mentioning her name.News travel fast, by mid week everyone was talking about Thandi finally confessing her feelings to S’bu.At school Cindy and Pretty were not talking to Thandi. They felt since she knew that they fancied S’bu she should not have gotten involved with him. Mandy who would normally be on her side was too distracted lately. After Thandi introduced her to Bonga, she’s been head over heels in love and daydreaming. Thandi had to deal with her frien
The tour date finally came. Thandi and her school mates were so excited to be going on a tour to Johannesburg as most of them had never been there before. The journey took six hours by a bus but they were not showing any signs of exhaustion.Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa with a lot of attraction sites. It was also know as the City of gold as most gold mines were there. Many people left their homes and provinces to look for a job there. It also had many universities and technical colleges most of them had applied to and hoping to get accepted to be studying in next year.When their bus drove into the city, they screamed with excitement peeping on the windows. They had never seen a city this big before. It had the highest skyscrapers they had never seen. It was buzzing with cars, buses and trucks everywhere. People were walking in all directions. The bus drove thru town, passed a lot of traffic and finally got to the bed and breakfast they would be
S’bu’s flat was in an upmarket place not very far from his university. It was on the second floor of the building and had two bedrooms, a combined bathroom with a shower and toilet, an open plan kitchen and lounge. The linen and curtains were in cream and brown, all his furniture was mahogany wood.I can’t believe your flat is this clean! exclaimed Mandy. She knew her brother hated cleaning and was expecting to find a mess.I will take that as a complement, S’bu responded. He had hired someone to clean his flat thoroughly, stocked up his cupboards and fridge with everything he thought they would need.Freshen up if you need to, we going to take walk to the university so I can show you around and get the application forms I promised your school mates. My friends will come around in the afternoon to welcome you and have a braai, S’bu informed them.Also known as a barbecue in other parts of the world , a braai is the most enjoyed get together meal i
S’bu took the meat to the kitchen for the girls to place on the table. He found Thandi standing in front of the stove stirring the pap. He stood behind her and put his arms around her. I think you are ready to be Mrs Jobe, he teased.You enjoy doing this to me, Thandi said blushing. Go away, you disturbing me, she added pushing him away.S’bu went back to sit with his friends until the food was ready.When the food was ready they all came to the table and ate. S’bu kept on reminding everyone that the delicious pap was cooked by Thandi while she was literally begging him to stop putting a spot light on her. After eating, S’bu took out all types of alcohol for them to drink.S’bu, I haven’t seen you drinking anything today. What’s up? asked Duma.My queen is a teetotaller, I would rather stay sober with her, S’bu explained.You don’t have to do that for me, Thandi objected feeling guilty. She made up her mind a long time ago never
By 9 o’clock everyone was awake and ready to go. S’bu took them to Pretoria and showed them the universities and colleges there. He then took them to the Union buildings where the President’s offices are allocated. Walking thru its beautiful gardens they wished they had more time to have a picnic there.It was now midday and S’bu took them back to the BnB to join the rest of their school mates.S’bu was once more under the spotlight with the school pupils surrounding him with more questions and collecting the application forms he had promised them. S’bu said his goodbyes hugging his sister and Thandi before leaving.The DOCS were sitting at the university cafeteria and chatting about life and girls.Congratulations are in order, you finally got what you wanted, Duma said looking at S’bu’s wrist.Thanks man, S’bu said lifting his wrist showing off his bracelet to them.I don’t get it, Clarence said confused.Neither do I,
It was the day for the matriculation results to come out. Thandi and Mandy did so well they were featured on the newspapers and magazines for outstanding achievement. Thandi was awarded with a JJL scholarship for overall achievement in the province. Mr Q was once again awarded the best mathematics teacher in the whole country. Thandi and Mandi were both accepted to do medicine by four universities. While other pupils worried about being accepted into universities, their challenges was which one they should choose. Mandy chose the university in Pretoria and wanted Thandi to come with her. S’bu wanted her to choose his university in Johannesburg and she torn between her best friend and her boyfriend. She decided to take her time since she had the whole month before she needed to accept or decline the university offers.S’bu posted a photo of Thandi and Mandy with a caption “my sister and my woman, beauties with brains”. His post attracted a lot of attention. One user commented by s
S’bu was disappointed that Thandi didn’t choose his university but had expected it since she was still angry with him. He had hoped to take both Thandi and Mandy to their university in Pretoria and get a chance to speak to her but that didn’t happen either as the two refused to go with him. A part of him was terrified that Thandi would find someone else at the university and completely forget about him but he was not willing to give up.On one of his posts S’bu wrote”She won’t talk to me, she declined an offer from my university, I have lost her, it hurts really bad and I know that I deserve it but I’m going to get her back or I will spend the rest of my life trying. Operation get her back starts now”.He had made up his mind to get Thandi back no matter what it takes. He spent a lot of time with the DOCS and on the phone with Menzi getting tips on how to achieve his goals.The first month at the university went well for Thandi and Mandy. It’s easy to adjust whe
Thandi and S’bu were talking more often but not back together yet. S’bu felt he had no right to rush Thandi into making that decision since he’s the one who messed up in the first place.Time went by very fast, six months had passed and Thandi and Mandy had settled well in the university. Mandy had started dating Thabo and was spending a lot of time with him.The exams were coming up soon, the girls decided to start studying early to be well prepared.Thandi found that she could not study at all. Wherever she went, guys wanted to talk to her. She had so many suitors, she could not even remember their names. She even moved to Mandy’s room to have some quiet time. Initially she thought I was something to do with S’bu but soon found out that it was because she was the last virgin in her class and that’s what attracted this unwanted attention.One day she went to the cafeteria but it started rain heavy and she did not have any umbrella with her. She s
