Insert 38 I heard some calling my name, I opened my eyes then closed them again because the light was shining bright into them. I reopened the slowly to adjust them to the light, I looked around and Busie was sitting on the right side of the bed. Busie:hey babe how are you feeling? Me:andazi, andimva umzimbha wam, uyasinda and feels numb at the same time she laughs Busie:awubhadlanga ke wena ndiyaku libala, how can your body be heavy kodwa awumva?

Its something he said earlier on... Me:what did he say? Busie:goodbye babe ndzokubona ngomso vha! She took her bag and car keys and left... Heh hay ayiseyiyo ke le! I watched TV, bekudlala uRythem City I put the headsets on ndabukela nangona ingqondo yam ibingekho kulento idlalayo. I laid there ndicinga ngayo yonke into, my family oko bemane besiza bafike ndilele, I dont know how theyre doing I really miss them and miss home! I miss my life, my laptop, my phone- wait I think I saw it somewhere here or maybe I was dreaming? I looked around ndaphutha phutha everywhere andayibona mx maybe its my little imagination running wild again... I miss school kodwa its now been a month ndingayi eskolweni, I miss all the things I used to do with uThulani, I miss seeing his face, his voice, his cologne, his smile and his lips... Having his cold lips again mine... I smiled to myself, maybe I miss Thulani himself... Then there is Dumie, I can see him eserious kwi laptop drinking iVitamin water engafuni kwamntu ozomphazamisa, I miss seeing him playing with uQhama oonopopi, xa behambha besiya eshop bandi tixele ngaphakathi emotweni... When uQhama would call him tata!, I miss seeing Sisipho and Thando then fight after five minutes sebeyokwenza ishopping kunye! I miss my parents even though ibiphela iveki ezimbhini ndingaba bonanga kodwa sihlala endlini enye! I miss hanging out with Thulanis friends and their girls! I was a little bit hungry, its been two days ndingatyi I poured myself a glass of water ndasela Jess:your parents left you something to eat, they put it in the drawer... Hey iyathetha legirl! I opened the drawer ndakhupha iYoghurt and a spoon ndazibeka ecaleni, I offered Jess ijuice wagalela ihalf ye glass and gave it back to me, ndayiphindisela edrawini. When I was about to close the drawer I saw iphone yam inside I took it out ndazama uyilighta but it didnt Jess:your mother took the battery out and put it somewhere in the drawer Me:oh ok thank you I searched phana ndakhupa everything ndalibhaqa ndapindisela everything edrawini. I put the battery in and switched the phone on. It had a few missed calls and twelve new messages. I opened the first message,it was from Thulani it had the numbers I had asked from him before the accident when I looked at the time, he had sent them while I was busy on the phone with him.I opened the second one it was from Thulani Where are you? Is everything ok? I opened the third one it was from Andile I heard you wanted my number Is everything okay? The other one was from uBusie babe I missed your calls sorry I was driving I tried calling you back but iphone yakho ingena kuvoicemail is everything alright? The rest of the messages were from the girls asking me when am I coming back. I checked imissed calls zezobani most of them were from uThulani. I dialled Dumies number yangena kuvoicemail. I dialled #31#(to hide inumber) ndafaka inumber kaThulani and called him it rang but he didnt answer I hung up and tried calling him again it rang and he didnt answer when I was about to hang up sendicama he answered Thulz:private number? My heart stopped amagama aphelela emqaleni andakwazi uphendula Thulz:hello? I didnt know what to say Me:hey... Thulz:ndithetha nabani? Me:its me...Thand- BATTERY TOO LOW FOR RADIO USE... Call ended I put the phone down and looked at Jessica she was busy on her phone while charging it Me:can you please lend me your charger just for two minutes... Jess:here... I know that two minutes part, it means 2 hours! She laughed, I took the charger ndafaka iphone yam and I watched T.V... My phone beeped, it was a message from uThulani Im sorry for everything, goodbye Thandeka, I will always love you. Thulani. Tears filled my eyes I put the phone down. A single tear escaped my eyes and I wiped it away with the back of my hand. I read the message over and over again trying to sink it in. I called Thulani he picked up on the first ring Thulz:hey... I kept quiet Thulz:Thandeka? I sniffed Thulz:Thandeka uright? Me:yeah Im fine- I heard someone talk in the background attention please all passengers flight B9 has been cancelled due to a huge storm - Thulz:Thandeka? Me:Thulani where are you?

Me:goodbye Thulani Thulzgoodbye Thandeka I love you Me:I love you too Thulz:Ive got to gohe hung up...I put the phone down on the table and stared at it. People walked in I looked up it was my family, my father was carrying uQhama, uSissy had a broken arm,umama ephethe iplastic yakwa Spar, uNono had a few skretches on her arm.
