#82 We dropped V at work, he wished us well on our venture then got out. The rush hour traffic was on steriods let alone ke the accident that had happened on William Nicol drive it was even worse, I twiggled with my fingers in nervousness ngoba angazi how will it be lapho esiyakhona. The worst would be coming back with nothing :( oh Thixo wam, be with us. Aunt N: khipha iGPS from the cabby hole, Im not quiet sure where Auckland park is from here Me: hawu ma, arent we supposed to be going to Braam as Viwe said #CoNfUsED Aunt N: we will asiqale eAuckland Park qala and weigh our options from the angithi Me: ok Ma, makes sense We drove until singena eAuckland park. Well the was we look at places that look suitable for students, the first place we passed was Milpark Mews, very decent I must say, we parked a bit further away from there coz there wasnt parking close by, I saw that literally downstairs there is a Spar, hmmmmm, very convenient. While walking there Joel called, he sounded kinda nervous for me, well its instinct I guess :) . We walked in, it was like a lapa/reception like area, on the couches to our right were two girls that had very nice hair pieces and were wearing very nice clothes, we got to the front desk and a very fat man and this other thin guy, sercurity gaurds to be precise, my aunt got there and she did the talking Aunt N: molweni boTata Fat man: sanibona mama, singansiza ngani namhlanje Aunt n: sifuna indawo yokuhlala mfanwam, manje angazi noma ungasiziza Fat man turned to look at thin man that was facing the opposite dirction behind him Fat man: weMandla, usekhona uCaroline noma usehambile Mandla: ngicabanga usekhona, ithi ngimfonele Fat man: ninenhlanhla mama, losisi obonisa abantu iindawo nobhalisayo, ithi sibheke ukuthi usekhona Mandla called her and it sounded like she was still in the building, coz its like mandla repeated what she had said 4th floor he finished and turned towards us Mandla: uyeza Ma, ningalinda nje lapha uzofika manje uma eqeda ngeclient elinye We went and sat down opposite the two girls that spoke more english than queen Elizabeth herself, I heard the lift go ping and the doors opened, the girls screamed with joy and jumped up to go hug their friend, naye she looked like one of them, looks like they were going somewhere, my aunt looked at them and looked at me and my head was on my phone since I was texting on bbm. She only said ungabi nje Ngwekazi I knew what she meant so I didnt say anything back, about 3 minutes later the lift pinged again a coloured looking lady came out wearing a white t-shirt and capris and flip flops carrying a clip board, she went and spoke to the sercurity gaurds then came toward us. Lady: Molweni, Im caroline Aunt N: Molo dear, ewe sikhangela indawo so please explain to us how it works I was Shocked Caroline spoke xhosa actually, she sat down and explained, a bachalor was gonna be ok my aunt suggested, Caroline broke it down, ok deposit of R7500 is required and monthly rent is R3200 excluding water and electricity, eh thats super pricey I thought to myself. Besides I didnt want really to stay in a flat with working people. I already knew before I even saw the place that I dont wanna live here. She gave us a tour to view the flat, it was very spacious if you live alone but a lot was needed to make the place look proper. I could see my aunt didnt want to be rude but naye she wasnt feeling the place either just she didnt say, she thanked the lady and took down her numbers and said she will think about it.we all made our way downstairs, my aunt thanked the guys and we left Oh goodness, this was gonna be a very long day. We went to melville where there were a lot of communes, there was a nice house I liked just behind Campus Square and we tried to call the owner and the phone was off. My aunt and I decided to go grab something to eat at McDonalds just to recharge texted Joel to let him know how things were going. #Sigh this accomodation hunting was more stressful than I thought Mi_Love
