Today is the day I meet up with the guy who came and threatened me on Monday.I still don't know who he is working for but what I know is that I do not want to go to prison.I told him to give me 3 days to tell my husband everything,He is so angry with me .He hasn't spoken to me for days.I really hope he doesn't divorce me ,that is the history I am not proud of. I am meeting this guy at some restaurant at the mall. I am so nervous,I don't know what will become of me but its about time I become free.He is already here,okay.
ME: Afternoon
Him:Hello,you want something to drink?
Me:Yes please.
He calls the waiter then we ordered our drinks.
ME: Where do I start?
Him: From the top
Me:Uhm.After nursing collage I was told that I owe the collage a lot of money,I think it was close to R90k. I became so depress then I didn't know how I'm going to pay that back the money since I was not earning anything.I then volunteered to job shadow at the hospital,Thats when someone introduced me to that business.I saw it as an easy money so I did it.It started with one baby ,then it went on and on and on.
Him: I hear you ,so how many babies have you sold?
Me: I don't know, I lost count but I would say at least 30.
Him:Yoh!
I looked down out of shame.
Him: So today I am here for one baby, The daughter of Queen Noma Zulu and king Langa Zulu.
Me;:You were sent by the royals?
Him:Yes
Me:Then I cant help you, they are going to arrest me.
Him: I don't think you have any choice here mrs Martins.
Me:...
Damn I'm fucked.
Him: Please tell me what happened that day.
Me:Ohkay.I don't remember most children I took but I remenber The royals,they were my last job there. My guilt was eating me up that's why I left Ethekwini.On the 20th of February 2000.Qeen Nomasonto gave birth to two beautiful girls.On the same labour ward there was a woman who had just lost her child at birth.She was so desperate because she and her husband have been trying for years with nothing and now that she finally gets pregnant she looses the baby.I was so sad for her so I did the unthinkable.Before Queen Noma could see her children I exchanged the dead baby with her child. I don't know how I pulled it off but I managed. I don't remember the name of the mother but if I see her face I will definitely remember her.
[Harris took out some files from his bag]
Him:So here are the files of every woman who was in that labour ward that day.
ME: How did you find them?
Him: That is besides the topic ,lets see what we have.
We went about four files including the queens then on the fifth one I saw the woman. Her name was Zanokuhle Buthelezi.
ME: Its her.I gave her the princess.
Him:Zanokuhle Buthelezi?
Me:Yes
Him:mhm...interesting.
Me:So what's gonna happen now?
Him: I dont know but I have to report back to the one who hired me.Sit tight and hope they don't send you to prison.
