Chapter 4 Marry me

I woke up to an empty bed, I stretched and yawned. I wasn't looking forward to this day, I

wasn't looking forward to anything these days. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to

shower then I got out and got dressed in his clothes, I didn't have any clothes here and it

didn't look like he was going to get me any. Once I was done I went to look at myself in the

mirror, my whole face looked swollen and so was my hand but it wasn't painful. It felt numb,

I couldn't really feel it. After doing everything I went out to the kitchen, I was hungry.

I walked into a woman cooking, uhm who was she? I walked in slowly, she looked up at me.

She wasn't young, she was old but not that old and she looked some how like Bonga. She

smiled at me but her smile quickly turned into furry.

"Bonga! Bonga come here this second!" she shouted, she sounded angry. Bonga walked into

the kitchen and looked at me then at the woman.

"Do you hit women now?"

"Who fucking cares mother?"

So he has a mother? And she is the woman that gave birth to this monster? Bonga walked

out before his mother could say anything.

"Bonga!! You poor thing, let me have a look at that." She walked over to me.

"You must be Gugulethu." I nodded. "My son has told me so much about you."

Oh he has? But what exactly? That he kidnapped me? That he raped me and he was

continuing to do so? What did he say to this woman about me?

"Sit down." I sat down and she looked at my nose, touching it. "It doesn't seem broken or

even look broken. You should be okay."

I nodded.

"You must be hungry, lunch is almost ready." She went back to her pots and I just sat there

looking at her, missing my own mother. I wanted to go home, to go back home to mother.

She must be worried sick about me, I am all that she has.

"Why aren't you eating Gugu?" Bonga asked making me jump a bit, seeing him with his mother made me miss my mother even more. Yes they didn't look that close, seemed like their relationship was on the rocks but he was still with his mother. Was I ever going to see mine again? I tried to pick up the spoon with my hand again but I couldn't, it just wasn't working and it was huge now.

"What happened to your hand dear?" His mother asked.

"I think it might be broken, I cannot feel anything in it."

"Did he do this to you?"

"Ey don't even involve me, she punched a wall. Your daughter in law mother is very hard headed and aggressive."

"Oh dear, you should take her to see the family doctor."

"Yes mother I will tonight."

I rolled my eyes at him and used my left hand, he didn't care. I don't know why he was pretending in front of his mother.

"When are you guys planning to tie the knot?" I choked on the food that I was chewing, his mother jumped to me and rubbed my back.

"Are you okay dear?" I nodded.

"Soon mom, as soon as she settles in." Bonga said so sure of himself, I gave him a death stare but he shot it back at me.

"You are mad, I am not marrying you."

"Mom please excuse us." He got up and pulled me up before I could stop him. He pulled me with him to his study, I don't know why he needed a study because he did drugs. He closed the door and pushed me against his desk.

"Didn't we have this talk last night?"

"You and I didn't talk about that shit!"

"Watch your tone woman! And your language."

"You watch your tone! I am tired of you thinking that you can just plan my life and fuck me whenever you feel like it. I want to go home Bonga!"

He chuckled and grabbed my neck. "I like you, you have this fire in you, feisty. I want you to

be my wife, I need someone as strong as you by my side."

I laughed at him. "I am not into you or men what don't you get by that?" I lied, I just date whoever I want to, be it a man or a woman but I haven't dated a man in a very long time, not after Warren.

"Bullshit! You used to date that Warren guy."

"Used to! Wait a second how do you know about Warren? Who are you? And why do you know so much about me?

"Your future husband."

"I am not into men anymore, I am not bi!" Another lie, I just wanted him to leave me alone.

"Yes you are not into men but you are into this man." He pointed at himself.

"You are crazy! You are really crazy!"

"Will this some how change your mind?" he threw his phone on the table with mom's picture in it. My blood went cold, how did he know my mother and where to find her? How did he know about Warren? How did he know so much about me? The tattoo, why?

"You wouldn't dare!"

"You wouldn't try me, I will kill her and then move on to that bitch that left me for you."

"I will do anything but please do not hurt my mother, I don't care about that bitch. She is the reason that I am here."

"Not entirely. I have been asking you out since we were in school but you never gave me the time of day, you never looked my way because of that weak ass boy Warren. Yes you ignored me, now you are here with me. And Warren? Dead."

I couldn't remember this guy, I didn't know him until that night at the club. I had many guys hitting on me, I couldn't remember him or them all. And how the fuck did he know about his death?

"Oh did that some how bruise your ego?"

He chuckled. "Damn right and I swore on my mother's life that I will have you no matter what it takes. I killed that stupid boy but you, you went on and became gay."

"You killed Warren? Why?" Who was this man? Why did he talk about someone's death as if it was nothing? Especially since he killed him.

"For you, that was for you baby. But you didn't give me the time of the day even after that, you mourned that weak fuck then moved on to Nandi? Where is she today?"

Dead? Nandi disappeared, never heard from her, never seen her again. Who is this man and why does he talk of death as if it's nothing.

"No you didn't?"

He smiled at me, that explains the tattoo on his back. He is obsessed with me.

"Now that you know just how far I am willing to go for you, what do you say about that

marriage proposal?"

"For my mother's safety I will do anything, but you have to promise not to hurt her." I wiped

my tears.

"You have my word. In 2 weeks there will be a marriage ceremony right here in this house, now can we go to tell mother the good news?"

I nodded and he led the way out, grabbing his phone first. Argh this guy! We got to the dining hall and he gave his mother the "good news", leaving this guy and place was proving to be impossible, he has been planning this for years. She was so happy.

"It is going to be something small mother."

"How small is it going to be?"

"Just 2 witnesses and someone who can get us married."

"Bonga who is this girl and why are you hiding her here?"

"I am not hiding her here mother, Gugu and I are in love. And we don't want anything big, right babe?"

I nodded and looked at him, he gave me a small smile. I rolled my eyes and looked at his

mother.

"You know when I got here I was asleep, I didn't even get to see where we are or how we got here. Do you mother?"

If looks could kill I would be dead right now.

"My child I come here blind folded, it's for my son's safety."

"So you know that he is into drugs?"

"It's a family business." She said.

"No it's not, I don't do what you do but yeah she knows."

Fuck this was one messed up family. But I nodded at them.

"Okay let me finish what I am doing here and take my leave. Don't forget to take her to see the family doctor okay?"

"Yes mother."

She finished cleaning the kitchen then came to say bye to me, I was in the lounge now watching tv, she kissed my cheek. Mike came in and blind folded Bonga's mom then walked her out, fuck this is insane. She didn't even know where we were? Where her son lives?

"Her hand is not broken, neither is her nose. She should be okay in a week, no more punch walls Gugu." The doctor said after running x-rays on me, I nodded at him.

"Take these for the pains and also rest, do not use or ever work this hand so that it heals

faster. Okay?"

"Thank you doctor."

"My pleasure."

I got up and took the tablets then waited as he spoke to Bonga. They finally finished then he

blind folded me and cuffed my hands at the back. He held my arm and led me to his car.

After a long drive he finally stopped.

"We are home." He took off the hand cuffs and blind fold then got off the car, it was packed

in the garage. He just wasn't risking anything. He unlocked the door and told me to go in, I

did and he walked in after me locking the door.

"I won't run away, you know where to find me anyway."

"I wouldn't take that chance, not with you. I am going out for some business, you will be fine

by yourself right?"

"Oh I am not going to run away if you are worried about that."

"Ofcos." He kissed my cheek then went upstairs to change, he came back in a black suit.

"Bonga."

"Talk to me"

"Can you get me clothes, if I am going to be here for long then I need my own wardrobe."

He nodded and walked out locking the door behind him. I went to the kitchen to get

something to eat then took my medication. I should have asked for sleeping tablets, fuck! I would have drugged this fucker and got away, stupid Gugulethu. But was he going to help? The doctor, was he going to help me if I asked?
