It’s been 2 years since our father died and to this day my mom blames herself for his death. It’s never been the same since his death; when you pass our house you’d swear it a graveyard …
I’m chilling with my best friends ndumiso and asanda but we don’t use our real names. Ndumiso is known as khekhe and asanda is d-man
Ey gents I just realised that this is the last day before we going back to school said khekhe
Oh yah !!! Me and dman said together
Eish we have to make the best of it gents , I said
But how we got no money and no girls or your’ll want us to go to the car wash and get something nyana eh said d-man
Eish but what if Sindi sees me there washing cars I responded
Weeh you too scared to even talk to that girl im sure she won’t even notice you said khekhe
Eyi don’t make fun of me you also single and your an even a more scaredy cat then me , I responded
No no no said khekhe your single becoz she rejected you , I found her so pretty that I rejected my self you see we’re not the same .
Eyi ma gents stop arguing about something so sentitive being a scaredy cat isn’t by choice now let’s go to the car wash said d-man
Eish I don’t know guys , I responded
Don’t worry my man she won’t be there said khekhe
And ngzo Gada I coast if eqamuka( I keep guard if she comes ) said d-man
Ayi ohk let’s go , I responded
As we’re walking to the car wash we see Nomfundo the girl who’s had a crush on me since grade 6
Eyi prince isn’t that Nomfundo said khekhe
We’ll look at that it is her I responded this must be stalking me
Eyi Musa ukubhiyiza ( don’t be stupid ) that girl is loaded why don’t you go and try your luck said d-man
I don’t know gents ,I responded
Come we need the money don’t we said khekhe
Fine ,I responded with an unsure face
Then I went to Nomfundo with my the most charming face I could pull out ….
Hey Nomfundo , I said
Oh Hye prince charming ,she said look very excited to see me
Eish mf2 sorry for troubling you but me and my friends are putting our money and I was hoping could you lend us some money , I said while licking my mouth
How much money do your’ll need , she asked
In my mind I thought of asking for R50 but my friend would be disappointed so I said without thinking R350
Her face lookes happy for some reason like it was small money
You know I could give you R750 she said with a face that gave me chills down my spine
My face so shocked before I could respond she said but you know nothing’s for Mahala ( free ) if you come at my place at 20 :00 I could even make it R2000
My mouth automatically said yes
Great! She said while taking out R100 notes out of her pockets , she gave me and said don’t be late ….
Still amazed I stood there for a few minutes then heard my friends shouting my name prince!!!!
Then I went to them and they didn’t believe me till I showed them the money
We’re rich !!! shouted khekhe
We ended up not even going to the car wash and and I hid some money in my pocket becoz I was going to work hard for the money right …
