At the Steakhouse Diner..
“Welcome, would you like a menu?” asked one of the waiters.
“Coffee will do.” I replied. “And what about you sir?”Mika observed the menu,as well as Katleho. They both seemed indecisive about what to order. “Give me a T-bone steak with chips. Said Mika. “Oh my word,seriously” I said. "What? I eat when I'm anxious." Katleho also ordered the same meal as Mika's." “Sir, can you also call the manager while you’re at it. We need his help its urgent!” I said. The manager arrived quicker than expected. A fine looking manager she was. With her perfectly tailored jacket, green in colour, matching with the theme of the restaurant. She and my mother would get along perfectly. The green team would be their new nickname.“Good afternoon. I am Lira, the manager you called. What
.My mother had her evening dress on, she looked amazing.“wow mom you look really hot in that dress!” I said, teasing.“I am 50 year old woman, I am supposed to look hot.” she laughed.I weared my usual clothes, but my mother made me change them, she chose a red laced dress,then cut in on the legs, to make it shorter,she quickly sewed a red silouhette on the top of the breast part making it look fashionable. I was impressed. She was not bad at fashion after all but I chose better jackets. Like father, like daughter.Sam showed up at the right time. He was wearing a red T-shirt, and blue jeans, his hair was perfect, it reminded me of superman. We exchanged greetings.My mother was smiling, I guess she was impressed.“So what do you for a living Sam?” my mother asked, with an intimidating look in her eyes.“I am an IT specialist.” he did not even blink, but I did. My heart was pouding really fast.“how much do you make
A mirror gives of a reflection of who we are, it can also be used to help remind us of who we trully are. Like the song “Man in the mirror” by Michael Jackson we do need to take a look at ourselves first, change how we treat others first before expecting others to treat us well. That’s my understanding of the song. But there are many other ways to interpret its meaning. “Wow! Mom this looks delicious. Can I have a taste” I asked. The table was neatly covered with white linen, purple grapes overfilled the salad bowl,the cockery and cutlery carefully arranged in just the correct sequence. The kind of formal look you would see in expensive formal restaurant’s and five star hotels.“Leave those grapes alone. We will eat them when our guest arrives.” said Patricia, giving me a tap on the hand.“What guest?” I asked.“Don’t tell me you are throwing a party!”
At the Safehouse…Katleho was sipping on coffee this time, she was watching Silent voices, my favourite show.“Is this season two?” I asked.“Yeah, how far are you?”“Season 5, episode 11.”“It’s hard not to get addicted. This show is epic.”“Tell me about it!” we laughed.Mika arrived.“What are you guys bragging about now?” he asked, throwing himself on the couch, causing the tea to spill.“Hey, I just washed these!” Katleho complained.“Sorry babe.” Said Mika, he looked genuinely sorry. “let me clean up this mess” he added.“No leave it! i will do it.” Katleho said, taking her stained towel to the laundry machine.“One day she’s going to dump me!”I laughed.“She wont,
Meeting with Sam's parents felt a little awkward, but great. I was glad that they didn't do any racist remarks. I looked at my phone and realised that it was time to leave for work. My mother had prepared bohobe. I put it into a plastic food container and left."You're late. Apparently Mr boss wants to see us in his office." Said Mika."And you waited for me to arrive to go in, what does your girlfriend have to say about that?" I teased.Mika paused,he said nothing until we entered Mr Phenyo's office. "Finally you came." Said Mr Phenyo, handing both Mika and I a casefile each."Thanks. Sir. We'll be in our way out." I said."Before you go,I want to thank you.""For?" Mika asked, I pinched him slightly on his hand.He brushed it off."For being patient with the organisation, for being loyal,for proving yourself worthy enough to be called Agents of the Hex. I know that it's not easy. This job can have it's.." Mr P
My mother would only call me during work hours only if it was an emergency.She respected protocol. When I arrived,I saw a second car parked in the yard. I didn't even have to knock at the door as it was wide open. It was as if calling out for me to enter."Finally, you're here!" Patricia shouted in excitement. She came towards me,then grabbed me by the hand, pulling me to her. "Come I want you to meet someone." She said. I kept my silence and wondered what it was I had to see. There she was, with bangles on her hand and large round ratings on her ears,it was Sam's mother,Lynette. Her eyes widened when I entered the dining room. I exchanged greetings with Lynette. She offered me a long hug and I could smell her sweet rose perfume."I am sure you're curious about why we are all here. The wedding is happening in two months and we still don't have a caterer!" Patricia stated.I couldn't feel my cheeks for that moment, I was embarrassed,how could I have f
Watching silent voices on my laptop,helped remind me that life doesnt end now,but instead continues on. I sometimes wondered what I would feel once I was dead,would I cry? Feel sad? Feel angry? Or feel hurt?There are times where I also wish I could change things that happened, make wiser decisions,and if there was a way to turn back time or rather be in a different timeframe then return back to the present I would do so.Limitless,how I wish I could wander freely,having no regrets, doing wise decisions all the time. I would be right all the time. Hmmm.. but such things only exist in my thoughts well,some of them do."I can't believe it,my baby is getting married!" My mother shouted. I had finished eating my breakfast in peace, I didn't expect to see my mother so early in the morning."Morning to you too" I said,then rushed to the door hoping to escape my mother's long repeated conversations."Oh Lee when will I see
"Finally!"I said in relief, I could access the hidden data I needed."Have you found anything yet?" Mika asked."Yes it's a lot to take in but guess what.i got it!" I shouted in excitement."What is it?"Katleho asked,leaning over my shoulder staring closely at the screen."Project Xena!" I said looking at the folder then I clicked enter to see more details. There was only an image of a hexagonal shaped metal with a gold cover on it.There was no other information, no words only the object ""That's project Xena? I wonder what it does!" Said Katleho."I wonder the same thing.!"But more than that I wondered why Mr Phenyo looked anxious when he heard the term Xena corporation. He seemed to know a lot. And why did Ben seem reluctant to talk about it,what was he hiding,I wondered.Meanwhile Mr Phenyo is in his apartment with Ben."You need to let go of the past,it brings nothing but pain!" Said Ben
My wedding dress was finished,my caterer decided, I was now left with finding a good venue for my wedding as well as a bridesmaid and lastly the honey moon destination,not forgetting the cake. I was in panic after realising that I hadn't completed a lot of thing's."Are you serious?" I cried out."What?" Sam asked."Look at the list!" I cried."Wedding,check. Music,check. Reception venue, check. Honeymoon, no check?""You see! Mom why didn't you tell me about this?""I am not the one getting married,you should also check if your things are organised or not!" Patricia replied."I am dead,I am completely dead!" I cried."You are not dead,you have me!" Said Sam, putting his right hand on my hand, he tried his best to be supportive."Son in law can you please excuse me,I have to go out shopping,I have to get new shoes. Mama needs to spoil herself!" My mother said waving at both
Meanwhile.. back at the GOH site. Ben and the agents in the control room were waiting anxiously for results from agent S."Sir we came as soon as we could." Said Mika."Byron knows we've been watching him. I don't know how, but he knows." Said Ben."It doesn't make sense. We made sure not to make a mess. How could he know?" Asked Katleho."But Agent S has promised to help us find him.""Agent S?""He finds people. He is good at making bombs as well. He has been working here for more than ten years." Said Ben."That means he can also find Lebo." Said Mika."He deals with GOH cases only.Lebo is more personal. I have people searching for her already." Ben stated firmly."Lebo is an agent here. She is also as important as any other agent here and should be treated as a GOH case!" Mika pressed."Mika calm down." Katleho said in a low voice."No! I refuse to keep calm about this. W
Meanwhile back at Byron’s private Lab. Mr Phenyo and i were still locked in the compartment. We hadn’t eaten all day, Byron was still upset as we had murdered his beloved assistant Lisa.One of the guards entered with only a plate of food.“The boss said you can choose to share if you want.” he said. Handing me the plate of food, he then left.Mr Phenyo did not say anything, he sat there in silence.“would you like a piece?” I asked.“a piece of Byron yes.”I chuckled. Even as I was starving, my appetite for the food had completely disappeared.“I wont eat anything, Byron is not getting any more of my blood.”“Then that would be the stupidiest move you could do. Eat, get your strength, get out and run.” said Mr Phenyo.“Why do you suddenly care about me? Or is it the guilt you are feeling after murdering my m
Agents of the Guardians Of The Hex were in were searching tirelessly for one of their own who was missing, me. Yet they didn’t know where I was.“Sir we need to go to this Byron, We already have robo bugs following him why cant we go there and raid his place?” asked Mika who was already grown impatient of following orders.“Mika, if Lebohang was there at his warehouse or secret lab, we would know that by now. The man is experimenting on rats doing God knows what, he even chats to them you can see that he’s insane and we still have not seen anything that could prove that he is somehow involved in Lebohang’s disappearance.” said Ben.“Fine, youre right”“A new case has come up, let’s go to my office. It will help keep you busy. Maybe even deal with your anger issues.”Ben handed both Mika and Katleho the case file so that they could be able to work right
Meanwhile..Mr Phenyo was in my fathers house, searching.“Where is that file?” He said. There was a noise outside the house, he peaked through the window and saw a car parked outside and Patricia walking towards the house. Mr Phenyo rushed to hide in Chris’ old bedroom which had now been used by Patricia.“What the hell does she want?Shouldnt she be at the wedding? She will have to tell me where the file is. No thats a bad idea, Miss Mokoena will hate me.. I’ll wait for her to leave then continue searching for the file, then I will leave.”said Mr PhenyoPatricia opened the bedroom door widely, Mr Phenyo was hiding under the bed.“Argh! Where is that?Ooh! There it is.” Said Patricia, grabbing the note from the bed, then suddenly the note slipped from her hand and fell down whilst she was trying to put it inside her purse.She bended all the way down to grab it, but felt something, as if t
Byron hadn’t called anyone on the phone. But his mental state had not changed he was still insane. He hadnt abducted anyone yet, but he still did his experiments.“All of my rats have gone missing, as if they knew I was after them as if they were saved by an angel.” Byron said, holding a rat with his two hands tightly preventing it from breathing. Byron then looked up at the ceiling, Agent lunga controlled the robo bugs to try and hide them.“you whoever you are who is listening, I urge you to stop what you are doing and join me instead.” Said Byron. He hadn’t noticed that the robo bugs were in the room, but he did speak on empty space, somehow he knew or assumed that there were indeed people looking at him without his knowledge.“Be very discreet from now, we are dealing with a very intellegent man, we need to stay alert all the time. We cant make any mistakes.” warned Ben.Byron took a jug filled
With the break Ben had given us, I was now able to keep my focus on the wedding.“I missed you.” I said, wrapping my feet around Sam while staring into his big blue eyes. .“I missed you too.” he said, smiling. “Any plans for today?”“no not yet I guess, unless Ben calls me to the GOH site.What about you, what are you doing after work?”“Today I am not going to work, I was also given a break, I hope its not just for today.”said Sam laughing. “But I am going to have to meet with Mika, he said he doesn’t know which suit to buy.”“I think you should go and help him. I don’t want to see a floral suit on my wedding day.My guest will think I am a mafia woman.”Sam Laughed, I joined in.Meanwhile.. At the Lab.“What are_ what are you doing to me?” asked Mr Booysens.Ben was lookin
A minute later, a man with an apron came in. He had a name tag on printed on the apron, D.L Booysens.Mr Booysens exchanged greetings with Mika and Katleho.He still hadnt noticed that Principal Vilakazi was there in the room with them, as Mika had covered the principal with a long linen sheet, only his feet were revealed.“Mr Vilakazi said to tell you to wait for him.” Mika said.The cook sat on a chair next to Katleho, who was at the time looking very sexy in a white pencil skirt and long high heels, which Mr Booysens found extremely distracting.“Uhm I think I will come back later, I don’t want to burn the pots.” said Mr Booysens. Trying to escape Katleho’s distraction.“I think you should wait a little bit, we can wait together.”said KatlehoMr Booysens smiled. Mika was very annoyed.“Okay lock the door.” Mika instructed. Katleho immediatly lock
I returned to my father’s house, while Mika and Katleho went to the school.I found my mother paging through an old photo album, what she normally did when she wanted to relive old memories.“I am so proud you my child.” said Patricia.“Proud, why?”“Look at this picture, tell me what you see?”Patricia said pointing at one of the pictures in the album.I leaned closer to my mother to get a clear view of the picture. And began to laugh.“I see a two year kid, butt naked carrying a ball and laughing. I was probably playing.”“and I see something else entirely. I see joy, we struggled so much but you were so happy my child. You didn’t even know how much pain I was in at the time, how stressed I was for not being employed, not being able to provide for you.It was so hard back then.” Patricia cried.“But we didn’t stru
Getting married was something I never thought could happen to me, let alone last this long in a relationship with a man. After the rape incident I found it hard to be attracted to any man. I hate them, they disgusted me. Mr Phenyo had a charm to him that made my knees weak, but he also scared me. However with Sam, thing’s were different, he was the ideal match I had long been waiting for. Where was Mr Phenyo anyway? I wondered.Early in the morning, at the GOH site, cafeteria.“one week left and you’ll be Mrs Hansling.” said Sam, the smile on his face was so wide, that you’d swear he was advertising toothpaste.“Do you have a groomsman yet?” I asked“do you have a bridesmaid yet?”I chuckled.We both had a lot of work to do.“Do you think Mika would agree to be my groomsman?”“Mika’s is my friend, so y
