Episode 31

Zenzele
Me: you what?

Fadz: I quit my job

Me: what do you mean you quit your job?

Fadz: I mean I told mom that I don’t want to work at her jewelry shop anymore and I found a new better job

Me: are you crazy

Fadz: no…

Me: go get it back… you can’t quit your job

Fadz: I can and I just did… baby I am your PA

Me: I am going to f-ck you
She gasped then hit my shoulder. We were standing right in front of her yard again.
Me: if you don’t want me to f-ck you then you are going to have to get your job back.

Fadz: are you threatening me
She thinks I am threating her…oh no baby, I am really going to do it. I brushed my thumb over her cheek looking right into her eyes. I gave a slight smile then stopped smiling at all. I moved down my hand to her neck then tilted her head from her chin and I k-ssed her then I stopped and listened to how her breath hitched.

Me: you think I am threatening you… baby, the way you are pushing me… I might just end up doing here.
She took a deep breath then opened up the door.
Fadz: I have to get to the house

Me: see you tomorrow

Fadz: or maybe in the few minutes

Me: why do you say that?

Fadz: your video calls

Me: oh…

Fadz: yeah… so do talk to your father and then inform me. its been days since you came with this awesome idea but you haven’t made any progress

Me: you are stubborn

Fadz: mmh
She gave me one last k-ss and left.
Later that night at dinner. I got a chance to tell them about my plan of starting my very own construction company. They were all quite listening to me, maybe too quite i ended up feeling like my plan may not be approved.
Sam: honestly that’s a great idea but do you have any idea on what you are trying to start

Dad: that’s a good point Sam. Do you have idea what you want to do?

Me: actually yes…. How hærd can it be?

Leonard: (shrieks) how hærd can it be? It can be a challenge in fact it will be a challenge.

Me: I run a transporting company, I think I can handle a construction company

Dad: first of all the company that you are running was already at the top when you got on the sit. Right now what you want to do is you want to start a company from scratch and starting a company from scratch is not as easy as you think. How many people do you think would want to invest in your company… for what reason? There are other construction companies’ out there but they are getting no where

Me: well I didn’t think it will be easy but at least I can give it a try

Dad: and what do you think will happen if it fails… just by giving this company a try you are going to invest millions in it and then what… what if it fails… what if there are no investors interested or you fail your first contract… I mean if you fail your first contract then who else would want invest in your company.
I was struck… I hadn’t thought about any of this.
Dad: don’t get me wrong i9 am not trying to discourage you… don’t get me wrong son but you are thinking of taking a big risk. I have to warn you.

Sam: I suggest you think about it overnight. Maybe then you would have made up your mind

Me: yes… that would be nice.

Mom: henry…
We all turned to look at henry who was busy on his I pad. He looked up at all of us.
Henry: yes

Mom: one could swear you have started your very own company… what have I told you about the dinner table.

Henry: sorry mom… I was just double checking something.
He put the I-pads on the side and picked up the spoon

Mom: you were double checking your wife. Did she arrive home safely

Henry: yes she did.

Mom: good that means you can eat right

Henry: yes mom.

Sam: dude if you can’t stay away from your wife why don’t you just go to her

Henry: shut up Sam

Mom: henry… language

Henry: sorry……
I stood up and went to my room feeling a little down and less confident about my plan. I decided to video call Fadz. The first call went un answered. I called again this time she answered, I was just about to ask her why she didn’t answer then I noticed how w-t her hair was and she was trying to dry it with her towel.
Fadz: hello lover boy

Me: you been taking a shower

Fadz: yes… what’s up
She put the towel down and sat on the bed. With w-t hair… that is not healthy right… she could get cold.
Me: are you going to dry your hair?

Fadz: don’t worry about my hair I will deal with it later

Me: no… you go and dry your hair right now… with a hair drier

Fadz: really…

Me: you could get a cold
She rolled her eyes and shifted. Then I realized that she was wrapped in a towel. It’s a bit chilly and she wearing a towel with w-t hair.
Me: do you have a hair dryer?

Fadz: yes I do… hold on you didn’t call just so you can tell me to dry my hair right

Me: yes I didn’t but dry your first and put on something warm I will call you after an hour

Fadz: oh my gosh…

Me: really after an hour
I hanged up when I looked up henry was by door folding his hands and grinning. I frowned
Me: what…

Hendry: you really like that girl don’t you

Me: yes I do and I am most positive that you won’t be able to take her away from me.
He smirked
Henry: no I won’t even try I am fine with my crazy childish moody girl right now… she is my life line

Me: oh

Henry: yes.

Me: how can I help you?

Henry: yes about that… I was listening to your idea at the dinner table and honestly I think that’s a great idea

Me: okay

Henry: and I listened to dad, he had some strong points starting a business from scratch alone can be hærd.

Me: yes I got it

Henry: so I want to suggest something for you… I have a friend who is also in the process of starting his own company… a construction company, he recently paused this wh0le project of his because of lack of money. So I thought maybe if you could partner with someone like him then it wouldn’t be so bad

Me: okay… what is his reason for starting this wh0le project.. I mean you know why want to start this wh0le business in the first place

Henry: honestly your motives are almost similar… he is a school dropouts and he pretty much didn’t have much growing up… his motive was to create job for those school drop outs… you know, people without any qualifications

Me: oh… great. But that would mean we would share this company like fifty?

Henry: yes but it’s a good deal

Me: thanks … I will think about it

Henry: good I will leave now.
An hour later I called Fadz as promised, only this time I had recovered from my earlier lack of confidence.
Fadz: I am putting on jeans and a jersey, my hair is dried and i am also putting under my blankets
I smiled… she was informing me as if I wouldn’t believe her
Me: good girl

Fadz: so will you tell me now

Me: you look so beautiful do you know that

Fadz: will you please… oh my God stop trying to irritate me
She was saying this but she was blushing then she hang up. I like how nowadays she blushes when I compliment her. I called her again
Fadz: you called again

Me: don’t hang up… I will tell you now.
I narrated all that happened during dinner and what henry told me.
Fadz: well partnering with someone will definitely help but my dear that person is just like you… he has no business background no qualifications whatsoever and he will be hiring people without qualifications.

Me: I get your point but don’t forget that we are doing this top help people

Fadz: how do you think this is going to appear on your profile?

Me: not good

Fadz: although I think that it will be good if you meet him once, who knows he may turn out to be profitable.

Me: you are great… PA

Fadz: so you agree

Me: no I don’t

Fadz: well its your problem so deal with it
She yawned. Then leaned back.
Me: are you tired?

Fadz: what do you think?

Me: well you just yawned so

Fadz: no… I am not tired

Me: okay… but you are going to work tomorrow

Fadz: where?

Me: at your mother’s shop

Fadz: please… what do I have to do to prove that I will be good as your personal assistant?

Me: are you serious right now… I can barely think about work with you around me

Fadz: give me a chance then I will show you that you can work with me around.

Me: oh dear… you are impossible, okay fine I will give you a chance.
She jumped around with excitement,
Me: its late now go to sleep

Fadz: no… sometimes I think you hate me when we are talking like this… you are always in a hurry to hang up

Me: I would never hate you baby
We chatted until I could see that she couldn’t keep awake anymore. She ended up sleeping leaving the phone on the bed then I hanged up.
The next day before I headed to work Sam brought up the topic.
Sam: so have you thought about it

Me: yes but I would like to ask henry a few questions first

Henry: sure

Me: this guy who you suggested why do you think it would be great if I partnered with him?

Henry: well for a start… the guy may not have financial support but he is very hooked with one of the most top investors who are ready to invest into his business if he succeeds to make it come to live

Me: okay… so this guy comes with investors

Henry: yes
I narrated to my family about henry’s idea and how I think I could actually build up something from that
Dad: well I will not discourage you…

Me: thank you dad

Dad: if you need money just let me know

Me: yes… henry when can I meet him?

Henry: he is not in our country… he is actually next door, Zim

Me: oh…

Henry: yes

Me: so how do think this is going to work? I mean he is not here

Henry: it will work perfectly fine… so if you want to set up a meeting I will inform him then you too can meet

Me: there is what we call technology, I think we can actually have a meeting through Skype

Henry: great I will talk to him.
Trisha
Leading a big company is supposed to be hærd but I think this is actually the easiest company to run. Everyone knew what to do… I didn’t have any problem with anyone. Andile had never returned to my company again and I wondered why the hell he troubled me in the first place ”Mrs. Tyson…“ a voice startled me from my thoughts. I was sitting in my chair looking out the window facing away from my door. I took a deep breath and twirled the chair around to meet the person calling me out. It was one of my new employees.
Me: yes Greg

Greg: uh… Mr. Andile was here and he came with his case… I am the one that attended to him since all my seniors were busy and he wants me to work on it.

Me: where is he?

Greg: he is down stairs mam

Me: call him up here… let him know that I want to see him
In a few minutes he entered.
Me: it took you four days to get your doc-ments from your car

Andile: I got an emergency call

Me: really… you seem a little bit shady

Andile: do I… hello Trisha

Me: good day Andile… please take a seat.

Andile: so you wanted to see me
He sat down making himself comfortable
Me: yes… I really want to know what the deal is with your sister who you want to open a case for

Andile: I believe she didn’t get any justice… the case didn’t even go to court… she was sent straight to jail

Me: for how long is se serving

Andile: I think it’s for a life time… I mean even she doesn’t know

Me: why was she arrested in the first place?

Andile: she has been accused of murder

Me: murderer… she killed a person

Andile: that’s what I was told

Me: do you believe it?

Andile: I know my little sister did some shady stuff to earn a living but I don’t think she has the capability of murdering a person.

Me: but you do know that it is possible that she could have murdered the man right

Andile: I think that would have been possible if it was self defense

Me: I see… so you said she did some shady stuff… what kind of shady stuff where you talking about

Andile: I don’t know… I think you should come and talk to her yourself

Me: yes, I will… if you don’t mind me asking. When all this happened… where were you and why didn’t you help your sister out

Andile: I was overseas… I couldn’t do anything and you know all she ever wanted was money…

Me: I don’t get it if your sister did kill a man she does deserve to be in prison but if she didn’t then I will get her out.

Andile: I want her out in both the circ-mstances…

Me: we may be a law firm Andile but trust me I don’t like thugs out in the streets, it makes a world a dangerous place

Andile: my sister is not a thug

Me: if a murderer is not a thug then what makes thug Andile… just let my lawyer see if she is innocent

Andile: do you think my sister killed him

Me: I don’t know… Andile… I was not there… look if she is guilty then I will make sure she is prosecuted in the right way.
He stood up.
Andile: you are getting bigger by the day

Me: thank you

Andile: do send your, lawyers to see my sister then we will talk again after that

Me: great

Andile: I am going now
He left my office. I was left with a lot of wonders… surely if her sister did murder a man then she deserves to be locked up isn’t it right… or am I just being cruel?

Episode 32

Zenzele
Fadz: Zenzie
She busted into my office making me stand up. She was breathing really hærd like she was being attacked by someone. I rushed to calm her then checked who was outside but there was no one just my secret6ary
Me: baby… what happened

Fadz: they are out

Me: they are out… who is out?

Fadz: they are out am so scared

Me: I can clearly see that you are scared but who is out… is someone out to get you

Fadz: no… the results… the exam results are out
The results…. My goodness. I made her seat on the chair then I sat on the table
Me: the results…
She nodded.
Me: I thought people were attacking you

Fadz: are you joking… I am not the results are out

Me: why are you scared baby, do you think you did bad

Fadz: I know I did bad… I hated school…. I chose to dance than to study.

Me: stop being negative and let’s search your results
After a few minutes she was hiding her eyes while the results were before her on the laptop. She didn’t really do bad but the way she was so negative
Me: babe

Fadz: is it really that bad?

Me: you have got all D’s… I am deeply disappointed in you… 33 points isa too low for you
She looked at me as if she was about to burst into tears then she grabbed the laptop and looked at her results. She looked at me with an expression I couldn’t really make out then I laughed. She hit me with a fist
Fadz: I didn’t fail you dumb stupid… I have 42 points.

Me: well you are the one who acted as if you hold the record of the world stupid girl.
She laughed
Fadz: Zenzie… If you weren’t my boyfriend I would have probably kicked your crouch…
She lightened up almost immediately after she said that. She called her parents and told them. So far I was having progress with my project. I talked to Mr. Shamu and it seemed he was more than pleased to partner with me. The next meeting I would be meeting with him personally, I have volunteered to go to Zimbabwe.
Fadz: my mom is happy she is already planning my future

Me: babe… in the next two weeks I am going to Zim

Fadz: really… that’s so great… I am going with you

Me: no… I don’t want you there I want you here

Fadz: have you ever seen a person going on a business trip without his PA… besides I might actually get see my family that side
She was so excited, I don’t know if it was the fact that I was going to her father’s birth place or the fact that she has actually passed. Either way she didn’t take no for an answer.
Trisha

I started at my laptop wondering what to do. I could feel my heart beating fast. I was not sure what was happening. The door swung open and mom appeared at the door step. I quickly closed the laptop. She smiled at me.
Mom: baby… breakfast is ready.

Me: I am coming mom

Mom: you said that for the past hour

Me: don’t worry I am still busy with some work

Mom: okay baby
She left and closed the door. I opened my laptop again and looked at the threats sent through my e-mails…

Time: 03:00

To: Trisha Tyson
Dear Mrs. Tyson how is life for you?

Mine here is not pleasant. You may think you have won but you are not looking at where you are going… you are going towards a dead end

Be careful 😉
Is this a prank… is this some kind of a joke from henry. I closed the lap top and went downstairs for breakfast. Mom had made waffles, they have become my favorite thing right now. She smiled at me and I tried to return her smile but my face betrayed me, I couldn’t hide the worry that was in my face. She was huge… but I couldn’t be the one to judge because I was almost as big as her.
When I arrived at the office I found the lawyer dealing with Andile’s case at my door step. I allowed her to in,side but she told me that she wasn’t staying for long. She just wanted my signature. I took the papers and told her that I will return them but she told me that she doesn’t have time she just want me to sign now so she could get to her work but experience taught me never to sign anything without reading it. When I persisted on reading it she said she will come a little later with the papers and she left.
If you ask me I would say she is a little… apprehensive.
Later that night when I arrived home I found mom sleeping on the couch with a bunch of medicine containers on her side and with two cups of coffee. There was someone who was here. I wondered what must be up with her, I went to try to wake her up. She lifted her eyelids and smiled at me.
Me: mom… are you okay?

Mom: yes, just a little pain on my back

Me: okay… would you like some tea

Mom: no… I would like to sleep

Me: not up ion your room?

Mom: no… my room is a bit stuffy

Me: okay… was there anyone here?

Mom: yes… a nice young lady, she was lost and asked for directions

Me: you had coffee with her

Mom: yes… she seemed tired

Me: oh mom, you are too sweet

Mom: let me rest my dear
I switched on the air con for her as she was sweating.
I took a shower and put on my night gown. I looked at my image in the mirror placing my hand over my huge belly. I looked like I was nine months pregnant. My tummy was basically rising every minute, I guess it was one of the packs of carrying three people in my tummy. I received an e-mail
From: anonymous

Subject: your day

Date: 12 march

Time: 19:00

To: Trisha Tyson
Had a great day?
Okay I was sure that it was Henry, I smiled alone wondering what kind of a prank he was pulling. I decided to call him.
Henry: hey…
I kept silent for a while his voice was sinking in reminding me of how much I missed him
Henry: Trisha… are you there

Me: yes I am here

Henry: I miss you
I missed him too, so bad. I felt like it has been ages since we separated. He stopped making appearance around me and I missed him so much it felt useless to be angry at him. I didn’t even know why I was separate from him anymore.
Henry: Trisha… Are you okay

Me: yes… I am just wondering what kind of a joke you are pulling

Henry: a joke… why would I pull a joke on you my dear?
Acting clueless. I smiled and rested on the bed it was so nice listening to his voice, I didn’t want him to stop speaking.
Me: I don’t know… because you can’t stay away from me
I could almost feel him smirking over the phone
Henry: you are right… I do miss you but now I feel you too can’t stay clear of me… you had to find an excuse for calling me
I smiled but not for long as I received another e-mail
From: anonymous

Subject: your mother

Date: 12 march

Time: 21:00

To: Trisha Tyson
Is she well?
Henry: hey… why are you silent?

Me: henry… this is not funny

Henry: babe I swear I am not playing a prank on you, what’s happening?
I sat up feeling my heart pounding as I remembered how I found my mom sweating and weak. I received another e-mail
Me: henry… you are not sending me any E-mails

Henry: no, what’s happening will you tell me
I opened the e-mail
From: anonymous

Subject: your mother

Date: 12 march

Time: 21:04

To: Trisha Tyson
Are you sure she is asleep?
Me: mom… mom
I whispered and rushed downstairs to her. I held her hand and she was freezing. She was also pale her eyelids were still flapping. I tried to make her sit up but it was useless… she was bleeding. I only remembered that henry was still on the phone when I heard chattering. Tears started gushing out as I tried to speak to henry
Me: henry… please help me… mom… mom, mom is bleeding
I was shaking her in panic while the phone trembled on my other hand and I think I was scre-ming.
Henry: Trisha… say something I am coming there

Me: mom… I think someone poisoned her… please hurry I may be too late

Henry: there will be two people at your door step let them help you take you mom to the hospital…. I am on my way okay.
He hang up an almost immediately there was a knock on the door. I rushed to the door and opened up. Two giant men rushed past me carried mom to the car. I sat beside her holding her hand trying to keep her awake. She mumbled something which I couldn’t make out and I k-ssed her hand. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing her… not after I lost my father. When the car stopped these two men carried her and rushed her in. I tried to keep up with the nurses but the other man held my hand
Him: Mr. Tyson said you should sit down and try to calm down. I will get you coffee

Me: but my mom… she is

Him: I know mam but please its not good for you to get worked up like this
The other man came with a nurse and the one holding my hand left. The nurse took me to the waiting room asking me useless question.
Nurse: are you okay

Me: is my mom going to be alright

Nurse: what did your mom consume?

Me: I don’t know… I think it was coffee

Nurse: where you with her

Me: no I wasn’t… is she going to be okay

Nurse: I will inform you after a while.
She left me. the other giant came with a cup of coffee. The only thing I could say to him while I was this worried was thanks
Henry
What the hell was I thinking leaving two pregnant women together without any guardian? I kept on trying to contact her but she wouldn’t answer. When I arrived I rushed straight to the receptionist and she told me where I would her.
I rushed to her and found her sitting alone on the bench with Ken and Cliff behind her, she was not crying or over reacting this has to be a first. I sat next to her and with the way she didn’t react I guessed she couldn’t realize that I was by her side. She was holding a coffee cup so tightly it could crush any time.
I gently held her hand and a wave of panic hit her, she spilled little coffee on my feet and it was cold. she looked at me with red eyes.
Trisha: henry
Her voice cracked and tears started gushing out. I hugged her to stop her from crying
Me: it’s going to be alright baby… it’s going to be alright

Trisha: she was bleeding…

Me: I know… but it’s going to be alright
She nodded as she looked at me but then her attention shifted to the doctor who was coming our way with some forms.
Trisha: doctor… is my mother going to be okay

Doctor: its hærd to tell with the state she is in right now… the substance she had consumed takes about 5 hours to start working and I am afraid the 5 hours has passed

Trisha: What did she consume?

Doctor: she consumed a substance that is used to terminate pregnancy but I don’t have time to explain right now…. We need your consent to perform a surgery on her, we have to take the baby out before he completely dies.

Trisha: but she is like three weeks early

Doctor: I know Mrs. but if she or the babies have any chance of surviving we have to do this
Trisha grabbed the papers and signed everything before the doctor could even explain to her what needs to be done.
Trisha: do anything for both of them to survive

Doctor: okay
He turned and left. I held her cold hands and led her to sit back down. I took out my jacket and covered her with it. She leaned on me and closed her eyes. I wanted her to tell me about the person who was e-mailing her, I wanted her to show me the e-mails but I didn’t want to disturb or upset her in this moment. So I let her rest.
