I Can't Let You In

Chapter 2

GATSHA

My brothers are coming over to my place today and I am feeling slightly anxious about what their responses will be. Not that I need any of them to agree with what I plan on doing but it would help if I knew they supported me. With my elder brother on my side, I feel slightly more confident but having all of them in my corner would be great.

Mthunzi, especially. He is very street smart and he knows a lot of people, so I'm sure that would help me in some way. I would say he's what most people refer to as a gangster in suits. He spends most of his time in the townships and has even adapted to the lingo. My brothers and I grew up in the surburbs but he's always been the different one and has always wanted to be more out there.

We all loved helping people since our parents always used to do charity work as well as hosting charity events. But my brother wanted to help people who were not in orphanages but rather deep in the township. And so when he was old enough, he dragged his heavy self to the township to do some good. I won't lie, he has helped so many people and this is not because I'm being biased.

But I have seen his work and the number of people he has helped, it truly is admirable work. Not even I could do what he has done and I'm proud of him. With him having done such good work, guys from the hood wanted to be acquainted with him and since he didn't mind, they remained friends.

So with him befriending the guys he learnt their way of living, the way they behave and started enjoying the kind of food they ate. He loves his way of living and not even my father could call him out of it. And it is this way of living that eventually led him into doing some illegal things. Some have lended him in jail a couple of time's but he doesn't care if he messes with the law.

This is why I need Mthunzi to have my back on this if I want to make it work. Some of his acquaintances might help me pull this thing off. All of my brothers are 'famous' for a thing or two and have been caught by journalists a couple of time's. But I on the other hand, am not that well-known which will make it easier for me to pull this off.

I met up with Hlophe last week and he gave me some documents that will help me take down the Mokoena's.  My plan was to abduct the brothers and the father one-by-one so I can torture them and kill them. But then I figured, why do that when I can make them suffer right here on earth. While they are still alive.

My plan is to make them wish for death by the time I finish with them. I know Nkosiyabo will not agree with me as he always thinks of the well-being of others but I do not share the same sentiments as he does. That is why I will do as I wish and make sure I protect my family by any means necessary.

But since my brothers are only coming over later today, I decide on taking myself out for a solo date. People usually say that only women do these dates but I say otherwise. I feel like everyone deserves to do a little self-loving every once in a while and so I decided why not today.

I don't have any other plans beside meeting the brothers so I need something to do. Usually, I watch soccer highlights or something to do with sports but I'm just not feeling it today. I'm not sure what I want to do exactly but maybe I could go to a shooting range. But I have to look for one nearby first.

Coffee is what I would have settled for but it's bit too late to be drinking it right now. I am not a caffeine lover as I mostly drink water but going on a coffee date is a common example of a solo date. A shooting range is still an activity though and I am a little pumped to go out and do that.

A hike would have been better but I prefer going on hikes in the early hours of the morning. It's cooler then and I still have a lot of energy to walk for a lot of kilometers. You would think a person who enjoys being outdoors would appreciate going out even in the heat, but I don't. I really don't.
