It's a beautiful day today,everything seems a lot brighter and happy. Nozizwe thinks to herself as she looks around the bus stop. Or maybe today seems so beautiful because of the adventure that is awaiting her ahead of her destination. She has always wanted to build a life of wealth for herself and also her family. Their father died while they were still young so their mom had to fulfill both roles,that was Nozizwe's biggest motivation,seeing her mother juggle multiple jobs and coming back too tired to even eat is what pushes her even to this day.
She turns and looks at her mom.
"What are you thinking mama?" She asks the beautiful fair lady sitting besides her.
"Akhonto sana lwami(there's nothing my baby) , I'm proud of you go out there and fetch your life "her mother respond to her.
"Jonga Mama I'm definitely doing that " Saying that with a big beautiful smile on her face .
"Sak'thandi ntombami endala nansi ibus thatha ndikwenzele isonka apha uzasitya ngendlela (I love you my girl here is a bus take this I have made bread for you , you will eat during your ride)"
She hugged her mother and said "thank you mom bye bye" the bus arrived and she got in, she was happy and excited she set down and took out a book Nozizwe loves reading . She reads literally everything she comes across.
she said to her self "Nozizwe I'm proud of you , look at you relocating from Eastern Cape to Mpumalanga what an achievement you go girl!!!"
She then smiled and continued reading it's no child's play travelling from Eastern cape to Mpumalanga she fell asleep along the way.
