When we pulled up by the house in Dario’s fancy car, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was a huge house with a beautiful garden and a swimming pool at the back. It was a mansion. Double story, it was really fancy. He opened the car door for me and I got out.
“Welcome to Dario’s crib!” He laughed. We went in and it was so beautiful; so neat and tidy. So fancy and elegant. “Come sit down,” he said. “I’ll be right back, but make yourself at home angel,”
I sat down and I kicked my shoes off. I got nearly undressed and I got in to the in-house Jacuzzi. It was so warm. I could live in it.
“Bishni, you enjoying yourself?”
I got shy because I was wearing only my underwear.
“Yes I am… this is the life Dario.”
“Can I join you?”
“It’s your Jacuzzi… come in,”
He got in and sat next to me. He clapped his hands and music started playing and the blinds went down. It was really romantic. He took my hand and we both leaned in for the kiss. His soft lips against mine, were absolutely amazing. Feeling such a thrill going through my body. It was out of this world. And also, my first kiss.
We kissed and kissed and kissed. Then he got out and he poured juice for us. We drank it in the Jacuzzi and as I wanted to kiss him again, my phones LED light went off again. It was a message from Zaahir.
Sis, aunt Kiyah went to Durban a while ago. I have the house key and there is nobody at home. I’ll wait for you. Be here in two seconds because I got to go somewhere. Kanalla Bishni.
I told Dario I had to go and showed him the message. He offered me a lift. Zaahir was standing on the stoep waiting for me. As he saw me getting out of the car, and Dario, he greeted us. I thought Zaahir would flip but he didn’t, he actually smiled. He then gave me the key and took a lift with Dario.
It was kind of boring to be home alone, with nothing to do and nobody to talk to. I missed Dario. So I took my phone out and texted him on Whatsapp.
Dario…
Yes Bishni?
Thank you for the wonderful day. It wasn’t what I was expecting.
I miss you.
He misses me! Was he actually starting to develop feelings for me?
I miss u2
is Zaahir home yet angel?
no, I’m still alone. You want to come over?
Tomrw, we’ll see each other tomrw again angel.
okay…
*kisses* I have to go now. C u tmrw
I didn’t reply back. I just went off. I thought that he wanted to see me again but it looked like he didn’t want to. Maybe he has a steady girlfriend but doesn’t want to tell me, I thought. All these things I was thinking, I started shouting it in the house. I didn’t notice Zaahir was behind me.
“Bishni, what are you shouting about? What about Dario?”
“Must you always sneak up on me?”
“Bishni, what about Dario!”
“We kissed, okay! And I like him but I don’t think he likes me back! And it’s breaking me to think he has another girlfriend,”
Zaahir started to laugh at me.
“Bishni, Dario doesn’t have a girlfriend,”
“Really?”
“Yes, he actually likes you also. He told me while we were riding in the car,”
“But why aren’t you mad at me?”
“Why should I be? Dario will protect you. He is the best guy you’ll ever be with again. Tell him you like him also,”
“But he doesn’t wanna come over!”
“Because he is busy talking to his cousin Sammi. Didn’t he tell you she’s leaving tomorrow?”
“No, he didn’t but he did mentioned something about her leaving soon,”
“Tell him you’re sorry for how shitty you were chatting to him. Do it now!”
“You’re so demanding you know that.”
“I love you sis,”
“I love you bro,”
“You can be a comedian but you’re so droog!” he said sticking his tongue out.
I sent Dario a message saying sorry over Whatsapp and he replied back after a long while.
angel, its okay… can I tell you something?
Kanala…
I like you… more than a friend…:$

I finally have a boyfriend! And not any boyfriend, Dario was my boyfriend. I almost didn’t think I’ll be his girlfriend but he asked me to be his girlfriend. I was so happy and excited for tomorrow.
As I wanted to go to my bedroom, a message came through to my phone. It was my mom, she had terrible news about Rushdiya.
Salaam Bishni. I have some terrible news about your sister. She has passed away in the coma. There was nothing else the doctor could do for her. She was diagnosed with cancer but she didn’t tell anyone. Bishni, my darling, I hope that everything is well at home with you and Zaahir. Look after each other and do Salaa my child. I love you Bishni, tell Zaahir I love him also. Salaam.
I broke down right where I was standing. I cried so loud that Zaahir heard and came out if his room.
“Bishni, what’s wrong?” I couldn’t talk at all. I just gave him the phone and he read the message. Zaahir wasn’t much of a crier, but this day I saw my brother crying with me, nonstop.
