KHWEZILOKUSA.
I was woken up by my alarm, I switch it off and I cover myself with a blanket once again.
I'm a women who loves her sleep, my mother walks in and she removes the blanket.
Mom: you lazy child, wake up and get ready the bus to Johannesburg will be here in an hour you know nobody here goes there so this is the only transport you will be getting
she says and I groan getting off the bed, I make my bed and she walks in with a bucket followed with water to bath.
I took a Basin and I poured the water inside, I stripped naked and started with my hygiene process.
I dried and lotioned my body when I got done, I wonder how Jozi is going to be for me I mean I have never been there before.
I decided to wear my thorn jeans and a black crop top, I wore a deamed mean jacket and some sandals.
I combed my afro hair and I started packing everything I'm going to need.
I went out to the kitchen and mom was busy packing a scaftin for me, I smile.
Khwezi: koda mamawamii I love you
Mom: ohh so when you see so much food you start talking about loving me, I'm hurt
I laugh, she's being a drama queen.
Khwezi: hawu mom you know I love you, plies I'm going to miss you cooking
Mom: I bet you will cause I'm a very good cooker
Khwezi: don't push it mom, don't push it
we both laugh.
Mom: ohh the house is gonna feel so empty without you
Khwezi: I know mama and I will miss you guys so much
Mom: you mean you gonna miss your drunkard dad
I sigh, here it goes again, she's gonna start preaching and reminding me of the bad things dad does when he is drunk.
I don't blame her for complaining but she doesn't have to address my dad that way.
Khwezi: mom he is my dad and I love him, this is just a phase it's gonna pass, it won't always be like this
I say with a smile and dad walks in singing his song while carrying a bottle of black lable in his hand.
Dad: angisona isidakwa ngihlushwa ukoma...
he sings while doing a little move which made me laugh and smile at hisidiot self.
Khwezi: you see his just thirsty that's all
Mom: then tell him to drink WATER instead
she said the water part out loud and I laugh, i went to my father and helped him to sit down.
Dad: you look beautiful where are you going?
did he forget that I'm leaving?
Khwezi: I'm leaving for Jozi remember?
Dad: Jozi? what you going to do there? I mean your family is here? I'm also hungry
I shake my head with a smile on my face, God I love my father.
Khwezi: I got accepted at a university and I'm going there to learn
Dad: that's good thing to hear my child, when you get there don't pay attention to those boys cause they gonna play like a football
Khwezi: I know dad
Dad: study hard my child and make daddy proud
Khwezi: I will make you proud dad
Dad: make me some food now I'm starving
he set back and he closes his eyes sleeping, I get up and I make him something nice to eat.
I served him and he smiles, I'm gonna miss that smile and those little chats we would have when he is drunk.
Mom: the bus will be here any moment
there was a knock on the door.
Khwezi: I will get it
I went to the door, I opened it only to find Sakhile stand g there with a smile on his face.
what is he doing here?
Khwezi: Sakhile? what brings you here?
Sakhile: that's how you gonna greet me now?
Khwezi: sorry I'm just in a rush and I'm about to leave
Sakhile: I thought you was gonna come see me so we can talk
why should I be the one to come to him and make it look like I'm some desperate bitch, I mean he who wanted to talk to me should have came to me instead.
Khwezi: I forgot and it's was late
Mom: Khwezi ubani kanti osemnyango? (whose at the door?)
Khwezi: uSakhile mama but he was about to leave
Sakhile: I'm not leaving without you
Khwezi: uyahlanya wena, can you just go please
Sakhile: no I will...
Mom shows up, she really likes Sakhile for some reason I don't know.
Mom: Sakhile my boy, what bring you here? why you standing at the door come inside
Sakhile: no need for me to come in I'm just here to pick Khwezi up since I'm heading to Jozi for a business meeting
I roll my eyes, this guys and the nerve he has.
Khwezi: my transport is already on the way so thanks I will be fine.
Mom: ohh thank you my son, I don't know what we would be without you, Khwezi go and take you bags
say what now? why is she switching up on me like this? I thought we talked
Khwezi: but mama...
Mom: it's a free ride
Khwezi: yeah yeah whatever
I went to take my bags and I said goodbye to my father who was watching, Mom walked us outside.
Sakhile: let me take those
he took my bags.
Mom: I'm gonna miss you
Khwezi: I will miss you too
Mom: call me when you get there and please don't forget to pray mtanami, I will try to call you
Khwezi: I will call you don't worry, okay I love you
Mom: I love you too, travel safe
Khwezi: we will thanks
we share a long hug, she started crying and I had to calm her down, i knew she did not want me to go .
