Insert 68 I was woken up by someone brushing my cheek. I couldnt open my eyes at first because they were heavy but i eventually did. I got so irritated and angry when i saw Brian sitting next to my bed. I tried sitting up but i couldnt my back was aching. Brian: Let me help you Me: Ndiyeke! I called for a nurse to help me sit up. She did just that then went out. Me: Why are you here? Brian: To apologise. . .baby im sorry. I was stupid and selfish, i dont know why i even said that. Im sorry Honestly, his apology meant nothing to me at that time. Brian hurt my feelings, the only person i thought understood me very well. He was the last person i thought would hurt me. . .but anyways life has a way of playing cards not the way you want. Me: Are you done? Brian: Ja, maar Mbal- Me: (interrupts) You came to apologise and now youre done. Youre free to go ke bhuti Brian: Mbali please I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I was tired of crying but i just couldnt hold them back. Me: (cries) Leave. Leave and never the turn back, Brian. Hamba! Brian: I. . .i cant leave you hurti- Me: (shouts) Get the hell out of here. Get out!! Themba got in at that moment and went straight to Brian. Themba: Didnt you hear what she said? Brian stood up and left looking rather defeated. Themba sat on my bed and stared at me. Themba: Are you okay? Did he hurt you? I shook my head and threw myself in his arms. Strange i know. But i wanted. . .no scratch that i needed someone to tell me that everything was gonna be fine. I needed someone. . .someone to tell me that tomorrow would be better. Themba: (brushes my back) Shhhh! Its okay princess. Im here for you Me: (crying) What did i do to deserve all of this. What. . .what did i do? Huh? Themba: Shhh I cried and cried until his shirt got wet and i was done crying too. I broke the hug then looked at him. He was crying too. Themba: Im sorry Mbali . Im sorry for not being there to protect you. Ive failed you as a father and for that ill never forgive myself. I cant help but think if i was there for you some of the youve been through wouldnt have happened to you. I wouldve tried my best to protect you. Please forgive me mntanam. I want to be part of your life I have never seen a man beg that much with his eyes flooding with tears. I was also crying with him I held his cheek then wiped his tears. Me: Okay Themba: Huh? Me: You can be part of my life as long as you wont try to fill my da-. . . Siviwes shoes Themba: Thank you and Siviwe was your dad i dont mind you calling him dad. He raised you to this young, strong soul. I smiled faintly then looked down. I realized that life is too short to hold grudges and putting blames on everyone. All you gotta do is forgive and try to move on. (I know its short. Ill post before i sleep)
