SEASON 2 Chapter 32 I went back home, I was still puzzled by my baby brothers change in behaviour. He never stole a sweet from my moms stall when she was selling... Bendifuna ukhe ndithethe naye but hes miles away. Maybe if ndinothetha naye angandiva asuke kwezi ngqondo zithi athathe into zabantu. The following week mama waya pha eQonce and talked to Cwenga wade waza nayo iphone, but it was pin blocked engasayazi naye ipin ithini. They tried to open it but they failed. And lasisi sengasayifuni ke xa iblocked efuna entsha. So since I was going to buy myself a phone I said I can buy the new phone and they should give me leya, there are very good nigerians abakwazi uvula iphones eziblocked in PE. So I sent the money, then mama bought the phone, and uCwenga besegqibile kakade eskolweni ubhala wabuya with umama and the blocked v360 phone. (Nisayikhumbula bethuna motorolla v360 phone leya inkulu flipflop). Yhooo that wasnt my dream phone, ndandifuna uzithengela samsung E250 mna. Ndazibona zendinestena sephone... Babuya nayo nebox and slip sephone. Then ndayisa kwelinye nigeria layivula phambi kwam and I paid R80. And I had a new phone. I tried talking to Cwenga to understand why he did what he did. He told me that he wanted a phone badly and he knew that mama akazo afford nam I wouldnt and well we all know our father mos, so he saw an opportunity and took the phone kanti ukhona owambonayo. So ebesezotshintshisa ngayo eskolweni then athi le yefriend yakhe uyichole yona. Ebefunda kwenye ilali ekude kunale ebehlala kuyo. Ebezisola of into ayenzileyo and ebenentloni. Ndathi ndombona that he regrets what he did, ndathi ndizompha yona laphone. But ndazama ukumthethisa that angathathi into zabantu and think that well bail him.... Thando didnt approve, besithi umama ngese laphone etown eQonce soze angabikho umntu ebezokwazi uyivula. UCwenga might not learn a lesson coz ngoku unephone entsha. I wasnt thinking straight nam bendifuna qha umntaka mama angabanjwa for a stupid mistake aqala noyenza. At Social development saye sa fumana certificate zethu for community development, kwenzwa ke into ngathi bu graduation kwamandi, but sad kuba kunyaka olandelayo ixoxo nexoxo belizozigxumela. Then with the last stipend and the R600 that was left from my savings I went to buy myself a new phone and clothes. Ndathengela uCwenga Jack parcel takkie noshorti and golf shirt kwa mr price. Mna ke ndafumana impahla ezininzi coz you know mos impahla ze girls [ungene kwa choice clothing or clear outs (rejected items zakwa mr price). Udibanise nechines shops]. I didnt get the E250 phone ndathenga Nokia nayo bintle with bluetooth, mp3 and camera. Kwakungekho watsapp ke so nam bendizoba no mxit and facebook on my phone. :) So it was december and uMakhulu (kaLelethu and Bongiwe) was terribly sick ebesemdala ena 70 yrs, she was then admitted to hospital, so mna noCwenga saya kulalisa uBongiwe and Lelethu cousins zethu... Umama ebebuyele eSommerset emsebenzini ezobuya before xmas. One morning umaka Lelethu wabuya ksasa evela kwi night shift. Wafika wahlala ecouching, wathi mna noLeza kuba sasivukile masiye kumthengela airtime. Amehlo ebedumbile kucaca uba ebekhala, uLeza wavela wayifunda ivaliwe waphuma inyembezi, saphuma sayothenga airtime, sadibana noMalume (lo wayekhe wabetha utata) esuka endlini yakhe ephangela. Malume: Nhosi, Lele, niyaphi ekuseni. Hayi mtshana kutheni ukhala. Ndaske nam nda emotional ndingayazi noba uLelethu ukhalela ntoni ndaske nam ndaphuma inyembezi. Malume: kwenzeke ntoni? Umama uryt? Uphi uMandisa? (maka Lelethu). Me: usendlini Malume: unibethile? Ndashukumisa intloko. Me: hayi :( Malume: kwenzeke ntoni Me: uthe umakazi sothenga airtime uzoku4nela. Malume: khame ndiye endlini ngoku. khawulezani nibuye ne airtime, sanukhala kaloku, malume zonithengela chocolate nge xmas. He smiled. ULeza wahug malume wakhala wes. Mna ndabaleka ndaya eshop ndothenga airtime. Ndabuya ndibaleka. Hayke ngoku asazi noba umakazi ukhalela ntoni kodwa nathi sesikhala. That was painful and uMakhulu was gone. She was no more. Usweleke esazihambela engakhange agule kakhulu. It was only 3weeks. She had alcers and she got treatment ewrong they said yiTB. Kule yesithathu iveki yile ayilele esibhedlele kanti itreatment yeTB imonzakalisile ugqirha bemdiagnose akabona TB wathi zi ulcers and ufumene treatment ewrongo. Kwabakuhamba kwakhe... The family decided ukumgcwaba kwa the same week, wasweleka on a tuesday wagcwatywa ngomgqibelo. Ndaya kumbona ebokisini, ebemhle ingathi usaphila. Mna noLeza besizofunda tombstone kuba bizotyhilwa kwa the same day. Umakhulu bena bantwana abay8 so bebemfakile kwi funeral covers only 2 abangamfakanga, so umgcwabo wabamkhulu. Maka Leza wasithengela ilokhwe ezifanayo and suggested that family inxibe colours ezifanayo. After icasket yakhe yehlile 6feet under I only realised that umakhulu is no more. That was the only time I first understood that kuyafiwa. Ewe biological mother kamama wasweleka but I didnt go to the funeral. Friend yam when I was in grade 11 was killed kwakubuhlungu and I went to the funeral, but yayingathi ndizophinda ndimbone and besingekho that close. So when umakhulu bendimbone ebokisini wehliswa kwagalelwa umhlaba phezu kwakhe It only hit me there and then that Ill never see her, ndavela ndathintitha xa ndifunda ilitye heee, yangathi ndidomanyana marn kunzima kwa ukufunda ifani le yam ke phofu coz we have the same surname. After that ndakhala ndayolala zange kwehle nokutya. My grandmother is the one who introduced me to the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. She taught me about faith and holding firm to faith and she said nothing is impossible with God. That really pained me that one of my strongest pillars have fallen. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; ... One short sleep past, we wake eternally And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die. John Donne
