Me:“ I wasn’t judging mah, maybe I’m just curious to know why we haven’t met him yet and you never talk about him ”
Mah:“ that’s because my private life is mine only and not anyone else’s. When I want you to meet him, you will meet him ” she says getting a little bit angry
Me:“ why are you getting upset, it was just a simple question? ”
Pres:“ maybe we should… . ”
Mah:“ I’m a grown woman lungi and I don’t need you to be asking me such questions ”
Me:“ mah you’re acting like you’re hiding something, or the person you’re dating. Do we know him? ”
Mah:“ usuyangi phaphela manje! ” ( you’re being too forward with me now!)
Pres:“ aunty she was just asking, maybe you… . ”
Mah:“ shut up Preston or I’ll slap the both of you for not minding you’re business! ” she says getting up
Me:“ I’m sorry mah I didn’t mean to be noisy, I was just asking ” she doesn’t say anything and leaves then Zama and sicelo get in.
Sicelo:“ you look angry, what’s wrong? ” she asks mah
Mah:“ nothing ” she bangs the door behind her
Pres:“ yoh ! ”
Me:“ why is she keeping it a secret? ”
Sicelo:“ what happened? ”
Me:“ I was asking her who she’s dating and why we haven’t met him unless it’s someone we know ”
Sicelo:“ oh ”
Me:“ what does that mean ”
Him:“ nothing ”
Me:“ you know who she’s dating right? ”
Him:“ it’s not my place to tell you but she will when she’s ready ”
Me:“ does dad know him? ”
Him:“ he does ”
Me:“ and mbuso does too, pres do you know? ”
Pres:“ no baby sis I don’t know ” hmm I don’t believe him so I let it go.
Me:“ is my house still okay? ”
Zama:“ you have a beautiful house ”
Me:“ thank you Zama. I hope you two didn’t use my bed ” she blushes
Sicelo:“ we used your fleece blanket that’s all ”
Pres:“ we did not want to hear that! ”
Me:“ oh too much information brother ” he gets a call and leaves us. “ uh Zama if you don’t mind I would like you to one of my bridesmaids ”
Zama:“ really?, O wow I would love too. Thank you for asking me ”
Me:“ don’t sweat it I’m going to lay down a bit, you guys bond ”
Pres:“ ok baby sis we'll make dinner while you go and rest a bit ”
Me:“ thanks guys ”
I go to my bedroom, sit on the bed then take my laptop and start ordering furniture for my house here, I want them to deliver before the end of the week. I order from this great furniture shop that make their own stuff, locally made so I order everything from kitchen utensils to bathroom towels and everything else I will need. But the time I’m done I realise that I have spent so much money and I smile, who knew spending so much money can make someone feel so good ”
