Bad Choices – Chapter 26 Things were going well between me and Sim. I liked the fact that he never forced me to have a child with him, nor put any pressure on anything. I still had a degree to complete first. He was supportive Shem. Hayi sana besileqwa ngumgqomo, all the spectators were left with an egg on their faces, as most people thought our relationship was doomed from the beginning, it was just a fling, unbeknown to them ebendiphethe kakuhle uSim, we were both happy and going strong. USim bought a new car and gave me his old car, so I was going to take it with , xa ndiyeskolweni. I was spoiled . Back to Anele OoSisanda stayed for a good 3 weeks eCuba , the positive thing in all that they came back with Anele. When they landed, the first thing Anele did was to call me , fortunately I was alone uSim ebesemsebenzini. Me: hello Caller cwaka Me: hello, hello Caller cwaka, I could hear I-noise from the background , but umntu ebengathethi Hayike I dropped the phone nam , I thought ngababantu whove got nothing better to do. Few minutes later my phone rang, it was the same number, I answered besendidikiwe already. Me: hello , hello Haybo, cwaka kwakhona, before I could say anything, I heard Sisanda voice in the background. Sisanda: Haibo Sbali, woyika uVuvu ? Thetha crying does not help xa kunje Yhoo I was so shocked, I dropped the phone kukothuka.I knew oSisanda bebeyofuna UAnele, but for some reason I was not expecting him back. My head started spinning, my body was shaking, intlungu awandenza yona uAnele yabuya yonke. Ndiye ndoziphosa ebhedini , and sobbed ,I was crying non stop ndade ndane headache, my eyes were even swollen kukukhala. My phone rang again, I could not answer. Hee waske wonke umntu wase mvakwam, Aneles parents phoned, noSisanda. Kwa-worc xa kufowuna no Dabs. I ignored all those calls, not because ndithanda, I was in a bad state, ndingafuni kuthetha namntu. I was not well at all, UAnele uye wathumela isms,which read- Avu I know I am the last person that you want to speak to right now. The Anele you know is dead, was killed by brutal circumstances in Cuba. I am even a stranger to my own self. Please Cwerhakazi speak to me, You are the only human being who can bring me back to life. I need you Avumile , I need you now most than ever.. I read the SMS over and over, but still could not make sense of it . I just could not believe ukuthi UAnele thinks he can disappear for years and still expect ukuthi , hell find me waiting, nokuthi ndise ngu la Avu ebemshiyile. He phoned again .I answered this time: Anele: baby Me :hi Bhuti Anele We kept quiet, saske sakhelelana, emva kwemizuzwana Anele: baby can I see you today, ndicela uze apha ekhaya, we need to talk. you deserve some explaination . Me: mh mh, I breathed, okay in an hours time, my boyfriend will be back from work, Ill wait for him, ndimxelele okokuba ndiza kwelocala. Ill give you a call xa ndiphuma eNorthwest, is this your new number morc ? Anele: so baby its true ukuthi uhlala nendoda ? Indoda yomntu ...No No Avu, you cant do this to me. Me: he he he uyapasa lomfana tyhini ..please Bhuti Anele, I am only doing this for old times sake, you are not in a position to question me anything about my life. Anele: I can Baby, we made promises to each other , that no matter what, we will wait for each other, your promises kept me alive in the midst of everything that Ive been through. and --- Me: ndiye ndamcutter- you are right that we need to talk, we wont finish this over the phone. Anele: okay ke, Come , I am nervous though , usandithanda kodwa? Me: Pleae dont do this to me Dr .... Anele: I missed you Avu, I miss you now more than ever Im sure sewuyintombi endala, at least he laughed Me: Of course I am, I hope akugcwelanga inwele ezimhlophe ke wena, we laughed Anele: I missed this ,Watsho ehleka, I am not even 30 , ndingaguga njani ndingekatshati umntu wam. Me: Bye Bhuti Anele, will see you later ke Anele: Okay, Bye Avumile, Big Sista ka Kgomo, we hung up... After that call, ndiye ndathathisa futhi aphe ekukhaleni. What was hurting me now was into yokuba , I knew deep down in my heart I loved uAnele. I knew ukuthi I will never love anybody like him, ebendazi in and out. I knew my meeting with me, was not a good idea ngoba whatever he did eCuba bendizomxolela, that man took me from the street ndinuka and gave me my life back. My love for him was genuine not because I felt ukuthi I owe him, he was my first love. He moved mountains for me. Kwelinye Icala I loved uSim, He was a good man, though endifumene sendi yi- ready product, he sacrificed his family because of his love for me. Somebody was bound to be hurt in this triangle... Why did Anele come back ? If at least he stayed in Cuba out of his free will , bekuzobangcono, but knowing ukuthi he was also a victim in this whole thing, Hayi ibindigqiba, ngoba really looking back, he was really preparing for his come back, when everything went dead from his side out of nowhere. I wonder uzondixelela ntoni, ndibiwe bubuthongo ndikwezongcinga.Ndothuswe kukuva isitixo emnyango, it was Sim, ebesebuyile emsebenzini. He came over to bed Sim: Sthandwa Sam , Im back, look Ive got tickets .... We are going to Carnival City next Saturday kwi-show ka He noticed my red eyes before agqibe... Whats wrong Love? Why the tears ? Uhlutshwe yintoni? Yhoo Hayi uSim was too good maan, he was so caring. I could not just hurt him engandenzanga nto. I just cried, I was ding dong nyani, I was so young yet ubomi bam bebucomplicated already. Me: Im fine baby, I just got a call ukuthi my long lost friend, very dear to me is back, this brought all the sad memories . Sim: that sad maan baby wam , ucingu thini? Me: I promised her ukuthi ndizoyombona namhlanje, I was just waiting for you to come back for I permission,ngoba I might sleep over, it will be hard for me to do gaan and track in one day Sim: cool baby, you can go... Let me prepare you something to eat ke Me: No no baby, I should be preparing you something, you are coming from work tyhini Sim: mmmm Ive got a better idea, we can start cooking aphe roomini, I ran to the bathroom ndovasa, Hai hai uzondenza late wena. I could not do that ndisiya ku Anele kaloku. I respected him too much uGcwanini.
