We buried mom yesterday and it was a sad day. It's Sunday morning I woke up and prayed after I took a quick shower and wore a long sleeve dress,doek and my white puma sneakers.i went to the dinning to eat breakfast after eating me and my cousins took the plates to the kitchen.
As we were washing the dishes aunty Ncina called me to the study room, when we got there I found Gogo,my uncles, aunties,dad and my brother.I then greeted them and they greeted back and told me to take a sit.

Gogo: we called you here tell you that you must cut your hair and tell you a rule that you have to live under until we cleanse you and your brother.

Me: what kind of rule Gogo.

Gogo:you must must come back home before sunset.

Me: okay Gogo.

Gogo: good.

After talking to me they chopped off my beautiful afro.I was crying as they were doing that because mom always said to me"take care of this hair because it's your crown"and now as their cutting it.I feel like am letting go of the one that reminds me of her.
After that i went to my room and cried myself to sleep i was woken up by a call from Zama I answered it and we talked for some time and she cheered me up and told me that I look beautiful with my short hair and my hair will grow back.Zama left yesterday with her family so now am alone here and bored.I woke up and washed my face and I went for a walk and ended in a hill not far from home and I bumped to Thembinkosi.Guys I know am young but this guy gives me butterflies inside my stomach.

Me: hey

Thembinkosi: sawubona ntokakazi

Me: unjani

Thembinkosi: ngyaphila wena unjani nkosazana.

Me:hayi nami ngyaphila.

Thembinkosi: wenzani Lana

Me:Nami angazi cabanga.

Thembinkosi:hau kanjani

Me: angazi.

We spoke for a little while it started to get windy and he gave me his hoodie and took me home before the Sunset.
When I got home I shot straight to my room and to shower after I wore short pyjamas and his hoodie on top and after I watched netflix and I was of to lala land
