Here I was with tears in my eyes, hiccups and all and I had to bump into Lindo and Livia. At that moment I was in a bad space after finding out that my dad, the man I worshiped the ground he walked on betrayed me, not betray Per Se but you get what I mean, and now I have to deal with the other people who have betrayed me, I know I have long let go of the Amo and Busi saga but I haven’t had a chance to deal with the other two people who were also kind of in the center of it all but I guess destiny had other plans for me today. They walked up to us so quickly, I could tell that they were nervous but they didn’t let that stop them.
Them:” Hey…” Lindo:” Hey Sands.” She smiled. Sands just nodded. Gosh! Here we go. Him:” Let me leave you guys to it. Call me when you done.” He walked away, the hospital was close to a mini-mall if there’s anything like that. Me:” Sure.” Lindo:” So… You and Sands?” She raised her brow. Me:” I’m sure you didn’t walk all the way to ask me that now did you?” I brought my eyebrows together. Lindo:” Yeah sure, I just…” Livia:” We just want to find out how have you been? I mean, you missed school for 2 weeks and we couldn’t get hold of you. Word is you are booked of school due to something that happened at your house?” Me:” I see people have been talking neh?” Livia:” Not really but we were the last ones to get the news. Zee as your friends we were supposed to be the first ones to know. If you know what I mean?” Me:” (Chuckled) like I was the first to know about Amo and Busi right?” I raised my brows and folded my arms. They just looked at me, I know that they knew I found out about the whole thing and I guess this was the time to finally put it to bed. Me:” Have nothing to say for yourselves?” Lindo:” Look Zee, you and I go way back and believe me when I say that I wanted to tell you but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I didn’t want to see you hurt and…” Me:” So you figured that not telling me was going to save me from being hurt? Can you imagine what I went through when I found out? Especially when I knew that my own best friend knew about this whole thing and didn’t have the courtesy to tell me about it the moment she found out?” My eyes got teary. Lindo:” I’m really sorry Zee, please believe me when I say that I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Tears were building up in her eyes as well. Me:” No Lindo no!!! You don’t get to do that, please… I trusted you and as my friend, my best friend rather, you should’ve been the first in line to tell me no matter what pain or hurt it was going to cause. We were going to go through it together as friends. The pain you were trying so hard to spare me, is the exact pain I went through when I found out, especially so from someone I least expected…” I looked down. At that moment I was really torn apart. I was really disappointed in her. This was just too much. I missed Lindo so much. She could’ve been there for me during this whole thing with my mom but I couldn’t trust her after what she did. I know it was not her place to tell me but her being my best friend, she should’ve been the first one to tell me the moment it happened or the moment she found out. She owed me that much loyalty.
Sands: Leaving Zee with Lindo and Livia was not a good idea, especially since she doesn’t know that Lindo and I are dating, well more like trying something out because we’re taking it slow. Livia knows that we are dated, who am I kidding? I mean, everyone at school knows we’re dating and Zee is going to kill me when she finds out about this, even more so since we’ve been kind of in each other’s mouths lately. I sure hope Lindo doesn’t say anything or Livia for that matter.
Back at the hospital parking lot: Liv:” Like she said Zee, we are really sorry. I know it might be hard to believe that we are sorry because you have given us ample time to come clean to you but we didn’t, instead we kept pushing Busi to tell you, I was even surprised that she ended up telling…” Zee:” Telling me? Busi didn’t come clean to me.” Lindo:” But we were under the impression that she did judging by the way she’s been acting, I mean we couldn’t threaten her anymore because she straight out told us that you now know the whole truth…” Liv:” Wait Zee… If Busi didn’t spill the beans, who did?” She raised her brow. Zee:” Sands did… Funny right?” I chuckled. Them:” What?” They looked surprised. Me:” I know right? I was also surprised when he told me that he was the one who sent me the anonymous text spilling the beans.” Lindo:” Wait… This doesn’t make sense. How…?” Me:” Look guys I have to get going, thank you for apologizing. We’ll catch up when I return to school yeah?” Liv:” So does that mean you’re forgiving us?” She smiled. Me:” I’m willing to ponder upon it. It wouldn’t be fair to forgive everyone else but you guys now would it?”
Lindo seemed distant all of a sudden, it was like something was bothering her. I mentioned Sands and she went mute. Something was definitely happening there. Me:” Earth to Lindokuhle…” I snapped my fingers in her face. Lindo:” Uhm… Yeah, what?” Me:” I was saying that I need to get home. And that I miss my best friend…” I smiled. She faked a smile. Lindo:” I miss you too love. Can’t wait until we have a heart to heart I have so much to tell you.” She started tearing up. I pulled her in for a hug and Livia joined in. We hug for a moment, we were all in tears and laughing. I really missed them and super glad that we finally managed to put this to bed. I hope this lasts and nothing will ever get in-between us. Me:” Okay ladies, let me call Sands so that he can take me home.” Lindo:” We’ll wait with you until he gets here.” Me:” That’s sweet of you, thanks.”
Over the phone: Him:” Beautiful…” Me:” I’m done talking to the ladies, please come take me home?” Him:” I’m on my way.” Me:” Bye.” I hung up.
Sands: Receiving that call really made me uneasy, she sounded happy and calm so I’m guessing Lindo didn’t tell her as yet. Damn! What if Lindo is also waiting for me to take her back home? I can’t have both my girls in one car. What if they are playing me? How am I going to play this so that I come across innocent? Way to go Sandile thinking you can play friends. Honestly I didn’t think I would be in this situation right now.
I walked up to the hospital packing lot and there they were, all three waiting for me, they looked chilled, too chilled if you asked me.
