Its been 3 days since my baby was kidnapped.Its alot,kore kunigi nge apha endlini.Its Botle with her daughter,Hope's birth mother and her sister and Hope's sister.As for Mazwi,i dont know where he is ,i havent seen him since Noma came.I have been avoiding everyone because i feel ashamed and embarrassed. I also dont know what will the queen and her husband do to me because i hear that they are dangerous people.
[Knock knock]
Me:Who's it?

[I went and open and it was Hope's twin Gugu]
Me:Oh hey.
Her:Hey Ma,may i please come in?

[I opened the door wider for her to come in]
Her:How are you,i know it must have not been easy going through this.
Me:Eish,i dont know what to think.I just dont want to think the worst.
Her:Im sorry,it must have been hard dealing with Hope's disappearance and also insult from my mother and everyone else.
Me:Its my bed so i guess im gonna have to lay on it
Her:...
Me:I am sorry for depriving you a chance to have your sister by side when usakhula.
Her:It must have been more painful when you...you gave birth to a still born.I am sorry about that.
Me:...
Her:I heard what mom said,about you not knowing the pain of carrying a baby only to give birth to a stillborn.You know the pain so well.I am sorry.
[I started crying]
Me:You have a kind heart,like your sister.Its like you guys are the same person
[I chuckled]
We ended up staying in my room,telling her about Hope,her childhood stories.
