Its tuesday today and i am not going to work.I only show up to the office on Monday,Wednesday and Friday.Lesedi has been blowing my phone since yesterday,She has been apologising for her behavior.I am going to block her.Im not gonna have poeple who do not know their place in my life.I do not do relationships and i made her aware.I even asked her if she is fine with what we have and she was keen with it until 2 days ago.Its not my fault she caught feelings.[Phone rings:Bakang].Hayi this one
Me:Ngwanantate.
Bakang:Open the gate im outside.
Me:Bakang,o batlang mona hoseng tjena(what do you want here this early)
Bakang:Just open.[He hangs]
I opened for him.He parked the car then came into the house.
Bakang:Knock knock![He is already inside]
Me: What do you want here Bk its too early for you to pollute my air.
Bakang:Hawu, no good morning.How did you sleep nyana?
Me:Tsek!
Bakang:You need a girlfriend.This place needs some woman touch.
Me:mxm.wena i wonder how many hands touched you house for that "woman touch".[Bakang laughs]
Bakang:Stop wondering because you do not want to know.Rangwane called,he asked for us.He said its urgent.
Me:does your father know?

My mother is still acting weird.I dont know if i should be worried or should i just ignore it.Today i had an early class then i was free for the rest of the day.I just got off class, drove back home to change my outfit and then went to have a shopping spree.I decided to wear an oversize shirt with some mommy jeans and paired the outfit with white airforces.I let down my braids,they are not that old so they still look neat.I got to the mall then i decidee to call Ndalo since i last talked to her on Friday.

Ndalo:Mati, i will call you back just now.I have a class now in 2min.
Me:Okay.Call me then.
[She hangs up]
I started at cotton on to buy some of the items i saw online. I bought 4 items which costs R2520.This shop is expensive but the quality is all that matters.Im just getting started and i already spent much.I did not mind because my dad sent me money for new clothes 2 months back,but i have been very busy with school so the money increased because of my allowance.My dad is not stingy when it comes to money.I spend 30% of what he gives me monthly so i have close to R80 000 in my bank account now.I know im too simple to be have that much on my bank account.I decided to go buy some pair of kicks since i never have time to buy them.I got to sportscene and went to the nike section.I love nike kicks, so o settled for another pair of airforce1, i swear i am addicted to them,these will be my 3rd pair.A pair of air jordan 1 dunk lows.These are my 2nd pair.I also decided to take some running shoes and some a pair of tracksuits.I spent almost R6000 .It was already lunch time so i went to spur for the ribs since i have been craving for them.While i was sitting waiting for my order,i got a call from Ndalo.
Ndalo:My wife
Me:My liefde
Ndalo:Im done for the day so i decided to go to the mall to shop some essentials.
Me:How i wish to have my own place right now.
Ndalo:I know chommie, Konje why your mom diesnt want you to move out.
Me:She says i am still a child,maybe when i am 21.
Ndalo:21?I would scream.I miss you so much yoh.
Me:I miss you too.Alot.
Ndalo:But i have a recess in 2 weeks.Do not worry, i will see you melanin goddess.[I chuckle]
Me:Yeppy,its a good thing that you coming.You need this recess
Ndalo:Yah neh,alot happened.Lwethu's mother say i should go visit her grave.
Me:That is so sweet of her, you gonna go?
Ndalo:Yess but im gonna come there first so i will be leaving here on friday then spend an entire week there,then to Natal then come here after.
Me:Thats a good plan chommie.
Ndalo:Yeah,anyway where is Lorato?
Me:i last saw her that other weekend.
Ndalo:I miss her please greet her for me.
Me:I will chommie,hehe let me tell you.So that weekend we had a small chillers at Andile's friend's house akere.So this girl asks me if i have a cousin in Kzn because i remind her of someone.Akere you know i do not my maternal family so i say no.Later that week i tell my mother, i actually ask her if i have any cousins and she just chopped my head off.Yoh i almost died
[Ndalo laughs]
Ndalo:You lie!
Hope:I reminded myself to never ask again.
Ndalo:Yoh mos this thing is serious.
Hope:Exactly,something is telling me to dig deeper into it but i dont know hey,i dont think i am ready to find out whatever skeleton that i will find.
Ndalo:What makes you thinks there's a skeleton?
Hope:Eish, i had a weird dream Chommie.It was dark and i was alone but suddenly someone talked, telling me i am not who i think i am.
Ndalo:What?
Hope:Yes chommie,i was so scared actually i still am scared.
Ndalo:I think this should give you more reasons to dig into this.
Hope:Ha.a Ndalo man, i told you i donot want to uncover any skeletons.I am not ready.
Ndalo:Hayi keh sana.Okay
Hope:Babes i have to go neh.
Ndalo:Okay bye.I love you
Hope:I love you more

Mama Busi and i are having a meeting with her PI.I am so nervous,i mean i am about to start an jnvestigstion based on a gut feeling that my twin is still alive.I sometimes do not believe in myself but Aunt Busi is always reassuring me that its worth getting the closure.Rather fail trying than not trying at all.I was wearing jeans and some oversized white tshirt,paired the outfit with black prada shades,black cap and black gucci kicks.My aunt is just giving a rich aunt vibes.Long summer dress,those dramatic sun hats,Prada Sunglasses and these cute sandless.She is just so beautiful,her ex husband will regret treating her bad.She really did not deserve the shitty marriage she had.But you can see she is glowing these days.The PI just got here,he is a middle aged Coloured man.Nice.
The guy:Mrs..
Busi:No please,i am now ms Khumalo

Guy:Oh sorry ms Khumalo, and this is?

Gugu:Nice to meet you[i smiled]
Harris:Likewise.Now what brings me here?
Busi:The job we want to do is the most private job i have ever done.No mistakes,it involves my sister queen Nomasonto and king Langa.
Harris:Busi are trying to tell me how to do my job?
Busi:I am just making you aware of the seriousness of the job.
Harris:Now why am i here?
Busi:Gugu,over to you[i looked at her with shock.I cleared my throught]
Me:Ahem!umh okay.I have twin who allergedly "passed" after birth. I do not know but i think she is still out there, i can feel it.I dont know i just need to find out if she is out there or what. I need to find her.
Harris:So i will be wasting my time on nothing but an intuition?[He chuckles]
Busi:Harris are you gonna help us or not. I am not here to play.
Harris:This is Going to cost you Busi.
Busi:You know money is not the problem.How much?
Harris:You remember its half now,half later when i have everything.It will cost you 70k.35k now,35k later.
Busi:Ohkay no problem.
Harris:My princess,Now i am going to need Key information.Where were you born,date of birth,full names.
Gugu:Ahmed Al-Kadi private hospital,20 February 2000, real name is Nompilo Gugulethu Zulu.
Harris: Okay i will be in touch.
Busi:Thank you Harris.Here is your cash.
[He took the cash then left.]
