2024-10-29 19:42:56When morning came Vincent showed into the kitchen very worn out. He found Mpumi and Dave making tea and buttered bread. Mpumi did not expect to see him like that, “Vincent, what is it?” she went and reached for his forehead to check for his temperature.
“I’m not sick,” he pulled down her hand. “Dion wouldn’t let me turn off the light the entire night.”
Mpumi felt a bit bad about that. She remembered Dion’s fear of the dark. She realised she should not have sent the child to that room.
“I can’t sleep with the lights on. Who can, anyway? Even Dion, himself, did not sleep the entire night too.”
“Come.” She pulled him into the kitchen. “Sit down there with Dave. We made breakfast.”
Sitting down, “Hi, Dave.”
“Hi, Vincent.”
“Can you pass me my cup, please?”
“There.”
“Thank you. I

Somewhere across the street was a gang of young men. They loved that corner, Mpumi knew them well. They were the thugs of the town. All the crimes happening in that area, the community knew well to suspect them first. It was a pity that none of the community members had any evidence to pin against them and send them to jail.These troublesome young men sat in a circle and passed around the weed they were smoking. “No, I heard she chased them all out,” one in their crowd had argued. He was addressing the men’s allegations about Mpumi. “Her aunties and uncles left immediately after the funeral. She wouldn’t let them stay any longer.”“I don’t think I’d loved them around either! The grief would never end!”“Actually, she didn’t know them, and they didn’t know her.” He was addressing them again, “She was angered by how big the family actually was, when none of them were seen du

After a long day on campus, Mpumi returned home. She went straight to her room and she started sobbing. Dion could hear her sobs from the other room. He listened carefully. He sat up straight facing towards the light through the curtains. He was drawn to her cries.………………………………………………………………………………………..Bowman was rushed to hospital. When his personal doctor heard news that Bowman had been admitted into the hospital he spread the news across family members, friends and the helps in UK. Daphne made sure to book the same flight with the doctor. They were going to Azania, Johannesburg to be close to Bowman. The news shocked everyone when they found out that he suffered a panic attack. The doctors reported that they would keep him for

Mpumi had left the kids and Dion on the bench. She wanted some privacy. When she finally felt comfortable with the distance she created from her friends, she led out a cry that shook the birds off the trees and rouse concern from the passers nearby. Dion was shocked to have heard the cry. That made him realise that his senses had strengthened. He realised how he had been paying close attention to every detail of noise in his surrounding lately. That must have heightened his auditory senses.The journey continued shortly. “This is where we stop.” She said soon after she saw a piece of open land between houses. She could see a home for them already. She let the bags down. Vincent copied, and Dave did the same. Dion only held against his nose. He was not pleased with the smell of the area—he couldn’t see it but he could smell it. It was horrible. There was dump in the area. The air reeked of the dump, sewage and smoke. Dion felt like he would puke. Mpumi

Vincent had offered Dion some of the bread in the house, he attempted to put it in his hands but Dion only snapped, “Get your hands off me.”Vincent was so shocked that he even pounced back. It was strange to hear Dion speak. Vincent never expected Dion to ever speak again and that was because Dion had been quiet for days now. He only kept to himself. To make things worse, Dion had refused to eat—for many days now. He only accepted water, and that was it.…………………………………………………………………………………………….Bowman was not getting better, emotionally. He felt his heart harden by each day, but still, he would not allow his tears out.I cannot cry, because if I cry it means I give up. I can

Dion asked for food for the first time. He had already began losing weight and it was worrying everyone in the home. For Dion to finally speak up and ask for, was truly an improvement. -**He hasn’t eaten for many days. **- “Give me something. Anything, and I will eat. I will not throw it at your face. I will not yell at you. I will not trouble you. I just want to eat.” She got on it right away. He heard her bang the plates, and fiddle with the spoons. “Please and thank you,” he said. She did not know a Dion like that. She stared at him for a while. She saw nothing suspicious on his face. He was very genuine. -**Why is he like this? He must be sick. **- “You’re lucky, there’s rice left from lunch,” she went and gave him the dish. She helped him find the spoon. She started checking his temperature. “Mpumi! Mpumi, the water’s done!” she heard the boys cry out. She quickly run out. ………….. Someday Mpumi returned from campus,

Liam found Daphne at the balcony. She was weeping. She did not hide away from him. She was always honest with him. “He could be alive.”“Liam, nobody knows that. Don’t attempt to calm me down like that.”“You’re right. But you have to take it easy. You still have us. We’re all around, you know.”“You can’t ask me to move on so fast. Liam, you know I drove him away from his father. He left because of me!”Sudden noises interrupted; Liam knew he had to go check what was happening. There was an intrusion of new voices in the other room. It sounded like it was happening in the living room. But at the same time, Daphne needed his comfort. He was conflicted.“It’s okay, Liam.” Daphne sent him off, “Go.”Liam found Shannon and Kefentse having an argument with the new guard, Joseph. They had been branded as intruders because the new gu

Mpumi was still preparing to go out with Dion. It was yet another day to beg. She was packing the breakfast plates away.“I’m sorry,” she heard Dion say.“Dion?”“I never treated you right.”“I never held a grudge.”“I was bad.”“You didn’t know better.”He took a deep breath to start opening up, she saw the tear run down his eye, “All my life… Listen, I haven’t been a good person.”Mpumi knew that he wanted to talk. She knew that it was right to be an ear to someone who wanted to speak up about something. She learnt that it was trust. He had grown to trust her. She remained silent that while.“I made people suffer without thinking twice about it. Men and women with children, with responsibilities. I was horrible. I didn’t help anyone with all the resources I had; I also didn’t think that I would

“Dave calls you, his mother.”Vincent was outside, chilling with Mpumi. The night sky was so clear that the stairs shone even brighter than usual.“What?!!!”“Yeah! That’s what he told my teacher at school. Mrs Ndlovu. My teacher was telling him about me. She was encouraging him to follow in my foot-steps, because I am a good child.” He emphasised, “I am a good child.”“Of course, you are, Vincent.”Feeling validated, Vincent continued his story, “And then she started asking questions about our likes and dislikes, our talents and hobbies, our resident and parents. That’s when Dave said, Dion and Mpumi.”“What?”“Yeah. And he was very proud when he said it. She asked us if we were happy here.”“And you said?”By now Dion was standing behind them at the door. They did not see him because, of course, he wa

It was on and it was off, it was good and it was toxic. Mpumi ended up getting so obsessed with this man. He was her first love after all.She had dated some guys before him but she never quite felt anything for any other man before Ray. She couldn’t understand her feelings, she was too young.They were both at Mpumi’s motel now. Mpumi was hesitant on letting him in but in the end she did. He sat at the small round table while she remained standing.

I collapsed and laid on the pool of my own blood, I asked you to help me, but you r

Chapter 149Kefentse was the happiest man in his entire friend group. Things were working out for him and in his favour. He was taking over his father’s company. This was something he worked his entire life for. To be recognized by his father meant everything to him.“And now, you must bring us a wife.”“What?” Kefentse couldn’t believe the words of his father.“My son, you have just acquired a thrown. Now you must have an heir. With this much wealth and fortune, many vultures will come out of the woodworks to try to steal from you. Besides that, people are more likely to trust a man with a family. You are at an age to ground yourself.”Kefentse was still so struck with shock. He did not see that coming.His father went and on and on about his next plans for Kefentse’s life, “Ooh, I know a few girls around your age. All from respectable families. Say, we should set dates! ...”

Chapter148The kids were trying to find out who leaked a very private piece of information about Vincent’s father.“I don’t know.” Gift argued for himself, “The only reason I was beefing with Vincent back then was because I thought he would take you away from me. Other than that, I really have no problems with that kid. I was just jealous…”“You’re not jealous anymore?”“No. Ever since you claimed me, I really had no reason to be anymore.”Sphesihle was touched to hear that. In fact, she remembered the reasons why she liked him in the first place—he used to be so sweet. She could swoon over his sweet words but that was not the time, they had serious matters at their hands.Whoever leaked that news what in the school, because the first article to be released about the matter was published in that school’s news-site. They had to find out who did that.&

Chapter 147Bowman started weeping bitterly. Mpumi was only flustered, and at loss for words.“When he woke up, he wanted hurt himself again. The doctors had to strap him down and sedate him.”Bowman tumbled to his knees. “Please…”He crawled over to Mpumi’s feet.“Please, you have to help him. You have to watch over him—at least keep him alive for me!”Bowman was actually on his knees, grovelling for her help. Mpumi once thought that she wanted him to do that, but now that he was, she couldn’t stomach it. She saw the pain in that man’s eyes. He was a single father who was terrified of losing his son. His only child.She started trying to help him up but he was far too heavy to lift. He kept rubbing his palms together, and kept crawling to her as she was backing away from him.“Please. Please, little Miss. Please help my son.”He then grabbed and held on to her knees so that she wouldn’t back away anymore. All over his face were his tears and a very certain sadness.………A little whi

Chapter 146When morning came and Mpumi had to go home, since her shift was over, she remembered to go check on Dion first. She found him on the floor, unconscious and bleeding from his head.She called for help, and all the others rushed in and took him for an emergency care. Mpumi was worried, she couldn’t sit still as she waited for the results. Bowman and his family were at the hospital too, after receiving that early morning call. They too looked worried.Mpumi did find herself exchanging glances with Bowman. She wondered what that was about. She was able to go home when the doctors confirmed that Dion was okay. She could stay up and blame herself for what happened to Dion on her watch, but she was too tired and too sleepy.Mpumi quickly, slipped into her pyjamas (nightwear), and into her sheets—DING DONG!Came a doorbell at her door. She was tired. She simply scoffed, and then buried her head under her pillow. She was determined on ignoring that vividly loud doorbell.DING DONG

Chapter 145There was silence as Mpumi was thoroughly thinking about her decision. The Hill family had asked for her help to bring Dion back home. The ball was in Mpumi’s court.She then turned to Bowman, looked at him dead in the eye, “You fired me and then I left. I left your son and your darned company, so you can have all the control you wanted. As soon as I’m gone, your son goes missing? None of you knew where he was until I came along. I came back and I found him. You should be thanking me.”Mpumi continued, “In fact, you should be begging me to help you and your little precious son.”“I am begging you, Mpumi—”“Not you, Liam. I want Mr. Bowman Hill to beg me himself.”Bowman simply scoffed. He couldn’t believe the audacity of the girl. How dare she demand him to beg?“I see that proud smirk at the corner of your mouth, Mr. Bowman Hill.” Mpumi sa

Chapter 144At school, Gift was always happy to see Sphesihle. He would always beam and brightly so around her. He didn’t care if anyone saw him with her. Gift knew that he was the most admired kid in that school. His social value did not decrease on just being seen with Sphesihle—if anything, Sphesihle’s social value was more likely increase.“I get so excited to come to school nowadays,” he said smiling at Sphesihle.They were in class, first period. They spoke in low tones so that they wouldn’t make too much noise. That was allowed. This was their Life Orientation teacher, and she allowed socialization among pupils as long as they used their ‘inside voices’—as long as they were not too loud.“I get to hang out with you again.” Gift continued, “Remember how tight we used to be? And we were such a power couple.”Meanwhile, Sphesihle couldn’t shake off the uncomfort

Chapter 143Mpumi could see a clear view of his face. His front hairs were dangling at his forehead, overgrown and almost obscuring his sight. His beard was as long and tangled in what could soon turn into locks.As she looked closer, she saw his eyes sunken in and dark circles around them. She saw his cheeks all bones and protruding.Shocked! Mpumi’s throat was almost as dry as the sand in the Saharan Desert. Her tongue had never felt so heavy as she tried saying her first words upon seeing the man’s face. On her own face was the look of sheer terror!“DION??!!”He only looked into empty space and mimed what even he couldn’t make sense of. He seemed very far and lost. Mpumi got closer to have a closer look at his eyes.“Dion?”However, he looked lifeless almost as though there was no soul living in there. Mpumi could only wonder what happened to him. How he even got to that place, in the firs

Chapter 142The nurses did not succeed at collecting the patient’s DNA. The patient in room X1. He was aggressive and wouldn’t let any of them close to him. They couldn’t even take a photo of him. This would make it even harder to identify him. They needed to find his next of kin.They nurses were with the matron in her office. They were all brainstorming ideas on a way forward. The matron only went silent. She didn’t know what else to say. She was still thinking.“I think I can help him…” Mpumi had said.They turned to her, looked at her and wondered, “How do you think you can help? Not only is he mental but he’s also dangerous.”“I’ll take my own chances, but I think I have to try to get through to him.” Mpumi could clearly see that none of those people were convinced.She had to try harder. “Look, as you know that I’ve worked at a clinic before.
