Chapter Forty Three

Three: Gossip"Uphi unyana wakho MamXala?" Zwelinye asked suddenly after his dinner. He knew his son as a late comer in everything. Even at school he wouldn't be surprised if he came all the time late there. It was his long time habit. Even as a baby he came out two weeks late so it was normal for them to start eating dinner without him but it was a cause for worry if they actually finished eating without Xolo already munching his mouth full of food.Zwelinye looked at his wife who was looking down at her plate that strangely she hadn't touched. "Uphi uXolo?" He asked again this time having effect. MamXala braved up her face. "He will be no longer living with us. Xolo is no longer part of us""What nonsense are you talking about? Did you and your son have a fight again?"MamXala stood up. She started taking the plates. "Xolo is at the pastor's house. If you want to know about why I threw him out you'll have to ask him. He'll have to answer you himself. I won't. "Zwelinye watched Mam

Chapter Forty Four

Four: KeepXolo sat down in class. He was still thinking about this morning. What Lindani told him. That he couldn't stay away from him. That he wouldn't. What did that mean? Xolo always saw Lindani as this very calm and collected person at all situations. It was surprising and mostly shocking to see him like that. He was both angry and possessive. Of who? Me? But how?Things were so complicated. They all threatened to throw Xolo to the highest point of stress. He scratched at his chin. A habit he had taken from his father. He only did it when he was either nervous or thinking. And right now he was doing both those things."Mr Jacobs don't you need to leave class now?" Mr Williams chested. It was normal for Xolo not to even attend the first period. He was always going to Lindani's. At first it drove the teachers crazy. But then they started to accept the reality of it. There was no changing Xolo. No amount of shouting or punishments from his teachers or his parents

Chapter Forty Five

Five: FightingLindani got two plates from the kitchen for himself and Xolo. His mother only spared him a single glance. Deciding not to say anything to him. When he disappeared to the other side of the room. She started to give a threatening stare to her husband. "Tata why do I feel like you are not listening to me in this house? Why do you find it hard to fight for your wife? I just told you about that crazy woman called MamXala harassing me in the church that you claim to be ours. She does not respect me. Akandiboni in fact! You need to teach her a lesson. Start by throwing out that bastard son of hers!"Maseko placed down his spoon. "I lost my appetite." He got up from his place at the table. He gave his wife a dirty stare of his own. "You know you should be ashamed of yourself. You call yourself a woman who prays to God. Then I believe you should be very kind towards others. Not causing fights wherever you go."He left the room leaving Mamfundisi speechless. The minu

Chapter Forty Six

Six: ManyLindani had a headache. He knew that even before he could wake up properly. He opened his eyes. His vision immediately assaulted by the brightness of a light bulb right on top of his head. He closed his eyes again covering them with his arm. Just from that he knew this wasn't his room.So where was he? He turned to his side on the bed too soft to be his own bed. He opened his eyes again. Only to see someone's back.He blinked trying to figure out what he was doing in a room that wasn't his with a naked girl beside him. His memory led him to the kiss he and Xolo had witnessed last night. And then to the fight he had with Xolo.He remembered not being able to do anything but hit his head on the back of the house. "Stupid! Stupid!" He yelled at himself. Why did he do that? Why did he disagree with Xolo?He felt like going to find Xolo wherever he was. Just apologize to him. So that everything could go back to normal.But that was just the thing. There was no normal.

Chapter Forty Seven

Seven: Me Xolo and Lindani had both their hands intertwined with each other. They had both returned to the Maseko household. And they couldn't stop smiling and looking at each other."Today I want to go talk to my mother" he said,"she must have calmed down now. I miss her so much. I want to fight with her some more."Lindani busied himself with Xolo's fingers. "I think it's a good idea. This fight of yours has dragged on long enough. But please tell me what really made her to get so angry with you?" Xolo gave Lindani an intense gaze. "I will tell you. Just not now okay? Let me first solve this and then I'll tell you everything." Lindani kissed Xolo's hand. " I will be waiting then."Xolo was grateful for Lindani's patience. He really wasn't ready tell him now. He would eventually. But not now. He first needed to talk to his mother. He needed to make her understand.Lindani kissed Xolo's hand. "Do you want to go now?" It was difficult for him not to ask Xolo to stay. Stay with hi

Chapter Forty Eight

Eight: RunningXolo wrapped himself in Lindani's arms. His breathing uneven as he kept on crying. His hiccups being a blade stabbing at Lindani's heart. He still had not told him why he had come back like this. He still had not told him what had happened.Lindani's left hand brushed Xolo's back. "What happened?" He asked, "what did your mother say? Is she the one who has made you cry like this?"Xolo gulped down yet another hiccup. Lifted his eyes up in order to be in eye level with Lindani's. "My mother said a lot. A whole lot of things I don't understand. Things I don't get. If I could I would run away right now. To a world that all of this endless confusion doesn't exist. But running wouldn't help anything right? It would still be the same."Lindani's hands went to wipe at Xolo's eyes. "Don't you cry. I'm here. I always be here with you. Forever. Now tell me what happened. Mh? Make me understand."Xolo sighed sitting up on the bed. He ruffled his dreadlocks. Making a m

She couldn't stay where she was not needed anymore.Just as she was about to go to the door she saw her husband. He looked at the bags on both her hands. "Where are you going?" He asked shocking her. Why was he asking this? He knew where she was going. And why. She didn't need to stand here and explain herself to him. It would be too stupid to. Instead she tried to walk through the door but just got blocked by the one she had called husband for years now. He repeated his question. "Where are you going?" This frustrated MamXala."I am going where I belong! The task I had been sent out to achieve here now is done. I must leave. There is nothing left here for me now." It broke her heart to have to say these things but what else could she do? This was the truth."You don't have to go. Especially not like this."The woman smiled. A tear
