Chapter 5
Nyezi's POV
I don't know how and when but I fell asleep, my eyes are a little heavy and I have a headache. "Fuck" I whisper " language" " Ah" I scream as I see Kwezi sitting by my desk busy with his phone, haibo( gosh) did I not lock my door? "Ungene kanjani?( how did you enter)" I ask as I sit up " extra key". We sit in silence for a couple of minutes, Kwezi is very quiet gent, he's more of an action kind of man he could be 19yrs but he's very mature, sometimes I believe he's more mature compared to Khulekani who's 29yrs " sis wami" he starts still looking at his phone " We love you uyakwazi lokho( you know that) and we wouldn't want to hurt you" he looks up waiting for my responses but I stay quiet and wait for him to continue. "All we do and did was not to hurt you but it was to protect you and bless you with the lavish life you have" Ungangifaki mina kulamsimba( don't involve me in your shit), did I ask for this?" I ask in rage. " But you enjoy It, do you not?" He asks calmly " Lalela Nyezi(listen Nyezi) please understand that ubuthi nabanye( your brother and others) had no choice, they had to push " he explains". " Haibo wenja( gosh you dog) can they not find a job or-", " With what education?" He cuts me off still in a clam tone, one thing about uKwezi he doesn't scream no matter how mad he is, " What do you mean?" I ask. " Nyezi you are the only one that went to school, the rest of us didn't, why do you think we are street smart not book smart mara( but) you are the only one who's book smart?" I stay quiet". Sis wami( my sister) we were hoping that you can join us,"Excuse me?! What the heck , " Lalela( listen)as I said you are really smart and that could help us, maybe it can also push us to minimize our gun use" he tries to explain but I'm not having it, " Puma( get out) Kwezi". " Ok kulungile( it's fine) but please think about it," and he walks out my room leaving me to drown in my thoughts.
Two days after
Nkulukelo's POV
It's been two days Nyezi has been avoiding us, she barely looks at us, she does greet but only as a form of respect not to start a conversation, I hate what is going on and I see that it's also hurting my brothers, they've been asking if she said anything my answer has been 'no' the whole time. It was three o'clock, the sun was out but it was still a little chilly as it is winter, we are all in the dining area and we are watching soccer, we hear the door open. Nyezi has been in and out a lot these days but I couldn't ask, because of the current situation
" Sanibonani( Hello to all)" she greets and walks towards us " Hello", "Sho" we greet back. "Eh" she starts as she sits on the couch next to Kwezi, " Eh so bengicabanga( I was thinking)" she starts " I really hate what you guys are doing" she has our attention all of us."Mara( but), I no longer want to be left behind" " So ucabangani?( what are you thinking of?)" Kwanda asks " Uhm I want to join you guys". Haibo(Gosh) so vele vele( for real for real) she's really doing this. " You sure" I ask " But" she starts " I don't want any blood on my hands" Nyezi say being as serious as she can be. " But you know we have to teach you how to use a gun?" Khulekani says." Hai( no)why" she asks shocked " For protection" Nkanyiso's says " These type of things can put you in danger, you need to protect yourself" I say "Ok understandable, but no blood angithi( right)?" She asks, and I nod, I look at her and she seems worried." Nyezi" I call her and looks at me" Relax we going protect you by all means yezwa?( you hear?)" I re-assure her. " Ok so when do we start?" She asks " When do you want to start?" Kwezi asks " We can start tomorrow" Nkanyiso suggests " Tomorrow? Yoh Ok tomorrow " she says claiming herself and walks away away to her room. I really don't have a good feeling with this yazi(you know) .
