Chapter 7 My Rapist My Lover 7

It's been two months and i still haven't found any job it would be better if I got those "we regret" messages but there was nothing. It was frustrating I even considered taking Monde's offer of going back to school because staying home all day every day is not how I envisioned my life at all.

My phone beeped while Monde and I were cuddling I checked the message

*THANK YOU FOR THE MONEY MY DAUGHTER IT WAS A LOT, DID YOU GET A JOB?*

Okay, my aunt hardly ever calls me her daughter when thanking me for money because I used to send them "peanuts" as she called it, this meant that Monde had sent them money without me know and made it seem like I'm the one who sent the money.

"Monde" I said to him softly trying to contain the anger that was brewing inside me.

"I love it when you call my name like that"

"Did you deposit some money to my aunt?"

He scratched his head and looked away I knew there and then that he was guilty he always does that when he has done something.

"Where did you even get your phone number"

"On your phone"

"Monde you didn't even approach me about that matter, you always take decisions for me and I don't appreciate it. Stop treating me like a charity case!"

Wow I thought you would be grateful"

"Grateful! Monde grateful that you are just throwing your money on my face and suffocating me while at it"

"I am suffocating you" he said quietly

"Yes, geez let me breathe and what you did was really unnecessary"

I took my phone and went to the bathroom banging the door on my way out, Monde was really annoying me at times it was already frustrating me enough that I couldn't take care of myself.

When I got out of the bathroom I find him in his clothes ready to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"I am letting you breathe" he took his wallet then car keys then left, mxm he can go hang himself for all I care.

I busied myself around the house tidying up and cooking, I loved cooking when stressed out it calmed my nerves in a way. While tidying up I got a call from the bubbly one(Simphiwe)

"Babe, can we go out for lunch tomorrow" doesn't this one have any friends

"Errr I'm not sure hey"

Please I need someone to talk to and you are the only person I trust" okay I was flattered

"Okay, what time" it's not like I was busy or anything but at the same time I didn't want her thinking I have nothing to do

"Is midday okay with you?"

"Yeah, I think so I'll text you"

"Thank you" she sighed

"Are you OK?"

"I think Musa is cheating on me" oh dear I was just asking for formality I didn't expect her to tell me something that drastic.

"Are you sure?"

"My instincts are never wrong, listen we will talk tomorrow a patient just got in" we said our goodbyes and she dropped the call. Simphiwe felt like it was her duty to welcome us all and be friendly to us since she was the first one to join the Mbatha family and be introduced. I didn't see myself as part of the family yet but hey the girl was trying so I had to meet her halfway.

It was now evening and Monde was not back yet I was starting to feel bad for lashing out like that earlier I mean the last thing I needed was to push him away when he had been nothing but good to me, I was about to call him when I got a call from Sandile we spoke every now and then so he knew I was back in Joburg and jobhunting. He was over the fact that I just disappeared I feel he never liked me though he wasn't even hurt by the fact that I left.
