I wake up to my phone ringing. I check the caller Id and answer
"I know I am missable but 24 hours hasn't passed" I say and he laughs with his sleepy voice which makes me smile. My sister walks in and sits on the bed
"You love yourself too much maMtimande" Zweli says
"I know right. Who would love me that much" I say looking at Lindiwe whose staring at me
"You'd never know since you think we are conniving bastards" he says and I laugh
"Wow not you saying that Zweli" I say. He laughs and Lindiwe widens her eyes
"Look I called to as if you still remember when is the Gala Dinner for Ndaba attorneys?" He says
"Umm I don't remember but I know it's somewhere the coming weeks. Should I call and check?" I ask
"Umh no it's fine. How's home treating you?" He asks
"So far so good. Look can we talk later cause someone is staring at me" I say looking at Lindiwe
"Okay greet my wife and father in law there" he says and I laugh.
"I'll sure do. Bye" I hang up
"When are you and Zweli going to confess your love for one another?" Lindiwe asks. Not so early
"Dude there's no love here oh well not for me maybe him" I say
"Mhmmm and I bet you'll but me a car the day y'all are on each other's pants" she says and I laugh. She's crazy
"An entire car Linn for love?" I ask and she giggles
"Yes an entire car" She says like a car it's nothing
"You are day dreaming" I say and she laughs
"Is what dad told us last night the reason why you asked is to come home" Lindiwe asks
Ow by the way my dad dropped a bomb on us last night. He introduced us to our stepmom. She's cool I like her but I can tell that Lindiwe and Mbuso are not so welcoming towards her. I am really happy for my dad it was a matter of time and he must get rid of his boredom and calling us non stop telling us about how his cows are fat and him getting milk from them when they give birth.
"No it was not. I didn't know about the lady of the house being introduced to us. I just missed y'all and wanted us to be home altogether" I say. The lies she'll have to wait for Konke to break the news to them
"Okay but you seem to like her" Lindiwe says
"Psss I don't hate her because I don't have anything against her and we just met. She looks cool and who knows she might change along the way and be theee real stepmother" I say. I honestly can't have anything against her
"Mhmm. By the way we decided actually me and Mbuso decided to look for mom" She says and my mood changes from 100 to 10
"Okay" I say
"Hhaw is that all you are going to say" Lindiwe asks. I get up from the bed to open windows and come back and tell her to sit on the chair cause I want to make the bed
