JABU
*** I can’t believe Sbu did that, I didn’t even know he had it in him (sigh)....im just glad my brothers took care of everything and they even dealt with the police that were called by the noisy neighbors....After Ruslan wiped out the scene where Sbu shot Amo from her brain they took her to the hospital....What baffles me is that uSbu doesn’t even show remorse for what he did.....Heath talked to him and what he found out shocked everyone....he said Sbu said she deserves it and more for having Lile killed and that’s when we knew that he heard us talking, I even told my brothers that we should also wipe Sbu’s memory about that shooting scene and Ruslan said even if he does, it will turn my boy into an angry human being cause he’s not remorseful and there’s just too much anger in him so he needs to let go of that anger and see that what he did is wrong then he can wipe off that scene
Things are still bad on my side, all I do is drink to numb the pain, I still can’t believe that my little girl is gone just like that....i can’t seem to accept it in fact I know I never will, she was killed in cold blood ( swallowed teary).....i wish I can turn back the hands of time and leave Amo like I was told to do....i wish I listened to everyone who warned me about her recent change of attitude***
Heath: you know berve is not a solution right
***he said walking in***
Me: just let me mourn for my princess in peace joh
***I heard him sigh....he’s been there in fact all of them are there for me but all I want is to be on my own but hei these snamnams ( fools) don’t care they are all up in my face saying they don’t want me to be alone nxa***
Heath: while you’re busy mourning our princess don’t forget about our prince, he also needs his father more especially after what he did
Me: uzoba right (he’ll be fine)....angithi he knows how to aim a gun and shoot in cold blood so uzoba right
***I said dismissively***
Heath: f#tsek....you’re talking rubbish now msunu wakho nxa ( you cunt)
***he walked away looking pissed mxm....i continued to drink my beer with my princess’s face plastered in my mind....fuck.... tears gushed out of my eyes as my mind went to how I found her body covered in blood on her bed***

NARRATION
***Kenny slammed into her and filled the condom with his semen and he kissed her forehead***
Kenny: thank you sthandwa sam ( my love)
***he said smiling at her and she smiled back at him....he pulled out slowly and laid next to her and pulled her to his chest and held her***
Kenny: do you have second thoughts about giving us a chance
***She sighed***
Lolly: im just scared of what people will say more especially your family
Kenny: well I don’t care what people will say as long as I have you by my side nothing else matters
***she snuggled closer feeling loved...she was still heartbroken by Jabu’s words but she told herself that she wont dwell on what happened even though it hurt to hear him blaming her for her daughter’s death...she still cant believe Jabulile is gone just like that***
Lolly: you do know they gonna call me names right
Kenny: and people will lose their teeth
***she laughed and he joined her***
Lolly: you’re crazy
Kenny: in love with you yeah
***she blushed and he kissed the top of her head***
Lolly: why did I end up with him and not you
***Kenny sighed***
Kenny: because I was too much into making money and making uthaima ( father) proud that I forgot to live a little
***He sighed***
Kenny: im just sorry that I wasn’t there to protect you.....
***he kissed the top of her head***
Kenny: but im here now and I won’t let anything happen to you
***she sighed not saying anything then her phone rang, she reached for it and it was Sbu calling her and she quickly answered sitting up***
Lolly: Sbu hey
Sbu: h..hi sisLolly
Lolly: umm are you ok
***he sounded a bit off***
Sbu: umm....whe...when are you coming this side sisLolly
***she frowned***
Lolly: umm im not sure...what’s wrong...are you ok....did something happen
***he kept quiet a bit***
Lolly: Sbu??
Sbu: I need to talk to you and not over the phone...i....
***He then sniffed***
Sbu: please make time and come this side sisLolly
***her heart is now beating fast***
Lolly: ok I’ll come this Friday how’s that
Sbu: ok
Lolly: Sbu what’s wrong....are you ok
Sbu: i....i did something bad
Lolly: ok ok I’ll come on Friday and we ummm we will talk about it ok
Sbu: ok
Lolly: ok I’ll check on you later ok
Sbu: ok
***they ended the call and she breathed out***
Kenny: what’s wrong
Lolly: its Sbu Jabu’s son....something happened and....he just sounded off
Kenny: why is he calling you....where is his father and other family members
***she looked at him with a raised eyebrow***
Lolly: maybe he chooses to trust me instead of them
Kenny: I don’t feel comfortable with this Lorraine.....he knows you’re far and now you gonna go there where else we should be spending time together this weekend....you know I planned this weekend for us to get to know each other some more
***Lorraine breathed out getting off the bed***
Kenny: uyaphi manje (where are you going now)
Lolly: my place
***she said picking her clothes and getting dressed and Kenny sighed***
Kenny: are you angry at me now
Lolly: nope I just....
***she sighed***
Lolly: Sbu is a good boy Kenny....respectful and kind....his family helped me a great deal....if it wasn’t for them especially Jabu, Heath and his grandmother we wouldn’t have found my brother’s body....and now Sbu wants help from me. I can’t believe you somehow feel entitled to choose who I should help and who I shouldn’t ....Sbu is family to me and if you don’t get that then angazi ( I don’t know)
***Kenny sighed getting out of bed and he took off the condom on his now flaccid manhood and he reached for a tissue and wrapped it with it***
Kenny: look I don’t feel entitled or anything like that....my question is would you feel happy if I cancel on us and go help some boy or girl in another province...a boy that has a father and other family members who can help him
Lolly: he trusted me Kenneth
***she said defensively***
Kenny: then what about me...what about us...this weekend heh
***he said getting pissed off***
Kenny: I planned this weekend for us....everything is paid and now you’re dropping everything to go help a boy that you are not even related to.....you wanted this to work...we promised that we will give this our all and already im being sidelined and not made a priority
***he shook his head***
Kenny: you could’ve forced him to tell you over the phone and helped him resolve it over the phone or suggested to call his father or uncles or something but not what you just did as if I mean nothing to you
***she swallowed looking at him....he looked angry, she watched him picking his underwear and walking to the bathroom***
Kenny: lock the door on your way out
***she swallowed hard as tears filled her eyes then she picked her handbag and walked out....inside the bathroom Kenny clenched his jaws trying to calm himself down....he didn’t have a problem with the boy but he has a problem with his father and uncle....what the grandmother said that time still stuck with him and he told himself that if she agrees to be his he’ll make sure she stays away from them especially Jabu***
Kenny: damn it
***he said feeling frustrated and he got inside the shower***
