Intro:
10 years later.
your last meal here!!
I took the plate and ate the rice with chicken curry and salads then put the plate on the tiny whole that there. Then i heard my cell number being called and the gate opened as she walked in and cuffed me. We then walked out to the doors so they can sign me out. I was silence through out the whole process of having me removed from the system and wore the black baggy jeans and T-shirt that the warden gave me.
Guard: What next Miss Mavundla?
find my sister!!
She nodded at me.
Guard: You a good girl Nkululeko but i haven’t seen anyone come to see you, are you sure she wants to be found?
she is my sister!
I mumbled and she nodded as i signed a few papers then walked to the next door. Slowly i watched as the locks got less meaning i was close to my exist. And finally i was out side the gate of the little hell whole that i was in. My name is Nkululeko Mavundla and this is my story.
Chapter 1
Nkululeko
I stood outside the prison gate and looked at the empty road ahead of me. I know if my sister knew am coming out she would be here. So i slowly walked. Maybe she didn’t know, or maybe she is held up at work or something but i know Nokhukhanya wont leave me hanging. I walked a short distance and a car passed me by then paused ,then reversed.
Lady: Do you need a lift?
i dont have money
Lady: Come on in. I walked to her car and got in and she smiled at me.
Her: Pamela but people call me Pam
I nodded
Pam: You?
Leko
she looked at me and i gave her a dry smile.
Pam: what brought you this side?
I cant really say prison
was visiting a friend in prison
Pam: Same here.
She rolled down her window and let the wind blow the expensive fake hair on her head. You could see with her jewellery that she is rich. She took a card and gave me.
Pam: Am an interior designer, hit me up if you want work done.
Do I look like i might want some walls painted soon?
sure ill hit you up
she drove for awhile and then got to town.
Thank you
she looked at me. Then too out some money from her wallet and and gave me.
Pam: you said you have no cash, hope this is enough. Am here for a few days hit me up. I nodded and got out of the car with the 300rands she gave. I walked to the rank and got some chips and ate and looked for taxies. I found the one going home and got in with my head low. Things looked different but when i saw a lady jump off after the bridge i did the same and walked around looking for home. I found the house still burnt down as it was. A young boy came to where i was Standing.
who you looking for?
know anything about the people who stayed here?
oh, the older sister went to jail for burning both her mother and father and the younger sister moved in with Zweli from kwa Mkhize.
are they there?
nope, they got married and left for the big city
i felt my heart smash against my chest.
what you mean Zweli married Nokhukhanya?
That what people say
he shrugged and left me standing there. I walked the small distance to the river found the tree that was there that faithful night and sat there waiting for the sun to set and when it did, I looked for the big white rock that looked like a chair and then found it so i dig on the hard soil with my bare hands. By the time i was done i was sweating and i finally found the big black plastic that i hid there. I slowly took it out and looked in it to find the leather bag in there. I went to the river and washed off the dirt and walked towards the road. A taxi stopped in front of me and i got in and went back to town. I stood there for a second thinking what my next move since everyone looking at the girl with a dirty plastic bag. I got to a shop and looked at the cashier.
I want a bag
she showed me and i got one fit my dirty bag in it and left walking to the kfc near by where for the first time in years i enjoyed some meat. I turned to see Mr khumalo looking at me from a distance. He walked closer to me and looked at me.
Nkululeko???
I got up and took my juice
sorry you confusing me with someone else
i pushed past him before he could see me and left. I need to go the big city and find my sister. She can explain things to me!!!...
Pam
I drove down the road and saw her walking fast. So i rolled down my window.
leko!!!
She didn’t stop
its Pam!!!
She stopped and turned looking at me.
where you heading?
Leko: Motel
jump in
she walked around jumped in with her bag.

Leko: Nah ill book my room. I looked at her quiet for a while .
I have an emergency at work, so i leave for Johannesburg tomorrow
her face brighten up.
Leko: Mind if i travel with you? Ill help with petrol.
thought you broke
She smiled and i must say it looked weird on her.
sure, so you gonna stay with me tonight
Leko: Cool
Nokhukhanya
I knew today is the day and i knew what it meant, the prison called to let me know that she coming out. I was scared to see her, i never visited her ever since she was transported to that prison, didn’t even think she will survive all those years locked up but I guess she did and now here I am sitting here thinking about what she gonna say with the life that am living? I watched Zweli walk in after work and kiss my cheek.
Zweli: You sour
Nkululeko
Zweli: Is she out today?
yes
Zweli: oh, and?
i should have been there to pick her up
he looked at me with the growing belly.
Zweli: You do know you pregnant?
she is my sister!!!
Zweli: No doubt but you not the first person she wants to see.
she doesn’t know about us Zweli, am all she has
Zweli: Let her go home to gogo nomkhulu and your cousins
she helped.....
i was silent and closed my eyes to calm down.
i feel like iv done her wrong!
Zweli: We not going to talk about this again Khanyo, i married you because i love you!!!
you were her boyfriend Zweli, 10years later she comes home to find her baby sister married to the guy she always dreamt of marrying... what kind of a monster am I?
He poured a glass of something in his glass and drank it in one go.
Zweli: All I know is that she loves you and will understand that life happened and this is it, plus we here she there, what are the chances of us bumping on her?
you are such a dick!!!
Chapter 2
Pam
The drive to Guateng was pleasant. I noticed she not much of a talker but she also wasn’t boring at all. She took her bag every where with her and i noticed she brought clothes as she goes and she threw the previous clothes away.

She shrugged.

Leko: ill have to find a place and a job.

Leko: No one!’
