Insert ...[21] I swear, my whole world stopped. I felt all the walls of my life collapsing on me. I saw the very end, flash right before my eyes. I couldnt breathe. Is it that I was cursed at birth or I was never meant to taste happiness? I didnt understand how the one person who made life worth living, could hurt me so much. What had I done to deserve such pain? How could he tear my heart apart in just a second? I dropped my shoes. They both stopped and looked in my direction. I ran, all the way from the hallway, out the door without even stopping to catch my breath. I knelt down at the driveway. I couldnt carry on, not anymore. I felt like I would never wake up again had I closed my eyes that very minute. My heart was beating like a jungle drum, and the earth seemed askew everytime I blinked. How was I to carry on without him? What was destiny, without him? How was tomorrow even possible, if he wouldnt be there anymore? I cried till my throat was dry and sore, till all I could feel beyond a torn up heart was pure numbness. Senzo: Melo! Wait! I could hear him coming closer to me, but I didnt look up and face him because my stomach turned upside down twice at the sound of his voice. Senzo: Baby Im really sorry. He touched my shoulder. I stood up, shaking his filthy hand off me. He looked at me with pleading eyes, pleading; for me not to just forgive him but to understand him too, except, there was nothing worth understanding in this whole situation. He had betrayed me, dissapointed me, and broken every piece of me that made me whole. I looked into his eyes, searching for the man who had saved my life, searching perhaps for the man who made my heart beat faster and slower at the same time, but when I searched deeper I realised that it could have been anything but true. Me: Why? Senzo? Did I...Did you finally decide that I was not good enough? Werent you the one who said that wed make it through this world together? Werent you the one who said you couldnt live without me? Did you perhaps make it all up and decided that I was worth being your fool instead? Why, Senzo? Why dammnit?! Senzo: Baby Im- Me: Dont baby me! I hate you! I dont ever wanna see you again or hear you breathing close to me, ever again. You hear me? Senzo: You dont mean that. Me: Its over, Senzo. I took off the ring and threw it at him. He bent down to pick it up, as though it was more important to him than losing me. I turned my back on him and ran, I didnt know where I was going but I kept on running until I couldnt run anymore. I stopped to catch my breath. A taxi stopped infront of me. Conductor: Town, suster? I nodded and he slid the door open, I stepped in and sat down. People kept staring at me and only then did it hit me, that Id left my shoes at Senzos. Oh well, I had bigger things to worry about than shoes. I paid and the taxi took off. When we got to town I dreaded coming out. After I had stepped out I heard someone call my name. I looked around, it was Busi. On any other day I would have ran to my old friend, screaming. But today, I silently searched for a place to hide while patiently waiting for a brief hug. Busie: Chomi! we shared a brief hug. Me: Hi. Busie: Man are you OK? I been trying to call you for decades, no luck. sup? Me: Uhm... Busie: wait! Are you barefoot? Dude! You look like you died today and woke up yesterday. Me: Ufike nini? Busie: Izolo. Why dont you buy noba zi pumps and we get a spot to talk, yeah? Me: OK. Let me make a quick call. Busie: Sure. I dialed Daniels number, he picked up on the 1st ring. Daniel: Siswam? Me: Bhuti, ndicela undi transfer(ele) iR200. Daniel: Andifuni. Me: But Daniel? Daniel: Didnt I warn you not to overspend? Im sorry but you cant keep acting like a spoilt brat whenever it suits you. I swallowed the lump my throat. Me: Izondthatha ke. Daniel: Ill sms you the cab numbers. Love you. he hung up. GREAT! :(
