Lahat ng Kabanata ng DARK DIVIDE : Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

31.AVETHANDWA SISULUI lay awake in bed thinking of how the day is gonna go. Maybe i should go to that lunch with my aunt. I'm too old for her love anyway, but she's still the same younger sister of my dad. They had quite a tight relationship back in the day. Living in the past is not gonna help any of us. I'll take a leap of faith.“Are you awake?” Bangizwe whispered in my ear. I woke up earlier today because we are having a long day.“Yup. I'm not looking forward to the day.” I played with his beard. The guy has a lot of it, but it makes him look sexy.“I can get you ready for the day.” I smiled. Like it wasn't enough that we were breathing on top of each other last night? He's getting me obsessed with sex. It's not cute, but I love it.“You realise that we've been having sex raw, and I'm not on any prevention? I don't even know your health status. What if you get me sick?” When we are having sex, we don't think about any of that. We live in the moment and regret right now.“I'm no

33.AVETHANDWA SISULUWe drove to the mall after my doctor's appointment. Luckily there's no bun baking in the oven. The doctor injected me with Depo-Provera which means after every three months I have to come back. It was not my first time injecting Depo. When I was seventeen, my grandma found out from one of her stokvel friends that I was having sex. The drama she caused? She took me to the clinic right away. The injection hurt like it used to but this time Bangizwe was with me. My grandma always gave me stinky eyes for having sex at a young age. She still doesn't know I broke my virginity at fifteen. It's honestly a miracle how I've escaped pregnancy but it could also be because Bangizwe is the first guy I've had sex with without a condom. I wasn't in love before but I think I am now. Things are different with him. Like right now. Look at me allowing him to take me shopping? I didn't even complain this time because if my man wants to take me shopping then who am I to complain? Plus

35.AVETHANDWA SISULUThe day couldn't be longer, but when it reached 5pm, I was the first one to walk out. This is no longer funny. Why am I always the first one on this floor to go home? I enjoy work, but when it comes to going home, you can't beat me. Somehow, I used to do the whole thing in varsity and also in high school. I had good grades, but I used to walk out of the school gate first. Even when the teachers asked us to remain behind for extra classes, I would always leave. The only good thing was that at night, I would wake up and catch up on everything. I used to be ahead of the curriculum. I remember in my first year at varsity, the principal at my old high school called me and asked me to help out his students during my recess. I declined. I finished high school for a reason, I would never go back there.“Good afternoon, Kabasele.” I greeted his driver when i got in the car. There was no Seth today, but there's still a guard inside the building. He only knocks out when I d

37.AVETHANDWA SISULU“You look like a doll.” That was my cousin complementing me after she helped me get ready. Apparently she was fetched by Kabasele at her aunt's place.“Thank you for coming.” She's standing behind me while we both stared at the mirror.“Your boyfriend literally asked me nicely. He send that man with flowers. What a man. Anyway, is he going to propose?” Propose? It's just a dinner date.“Not everyone wants to get married Khanyi.” Her obsession with marriages is not cute.“Well i just want you to know that you have my blessings.” She kissed my cheek.“Thank you but I'm fine. The way you're so obsessed with a marriage, you'll divorce thrice before you're 30.” I stood up. I was wearing a crimson red one-shoulder dress with a crystal strap dramatic cascading ruffles on my left side with matching silver high heels. I bought the dress at the mall and it felt so good to swipe without checking the price tag and now it's worth it.“I revoke that curse. I'm gonna get marrie

39.AVETHANDWA SISULUTo be honest I didn't think Bangizwe would pull through for me. My man can go to any length for me can't he? Here I am sitting at the prison visiting room waiting for my dad. The room is so empty. It's usually not like this, empty. It's usually full of people and unending conversations with families visiting their convicted relatives.The door opens up and my dad comes out, with handcuffs on his hands. He looks at me and frowns before he walks over with the warden behind him who unlocks the handcuffs and walks out, leaving the two of us.“What are you doing here? It's not visiting hours.” He grabs a chair and sit down.“I know. I asked someone to help me. Uuka said that you wanted to see me.” He doesn't look as happy as he actually looks when I come to visit. He looks troubled.“How did you feel after meeting Uuka after all this long? You used to cry yourself to sleep after he was arrested.” I did? I don't really remember much about Uuka's arrest. When he was arr
