The schools were closed so Kabelo thought he could spend more time with Amo, maybe she won’t leave him. Amo was at home with her younger sisters, she was so heart-broken but did not want her sisters to see that she was sad.

“Girls, I’m going to lie down a little bit, wake me up later so that I can make supper,” she said as she walked away.

The girls continued playing as if they didn’t even hear a word of what she was saying.

She went to her room and locked the door. She was betrayed twice in one day by two guys she thought they loved her. The more she thought about it, the more it hurt.

Her phone rang, it was Kabelo. She did not answer. He called for about ten times, still no answer. He knew that Amo’s mom was at work so he decided to go to her place. Amo’s sisters knew Kabelo so they let him inside and told him that Amo was in her room. He knocked, she opened the door.

“What do you want here?” Amo asked him.

“I came to check if you are okay and I want to apologise for everything that I did to you,” he replied sincerely.

Amo let him inside the room and they sat on the bed.

“You know I regret the day I met you, no actually I curse the day I fell in love with you. I don’t know what I did to you for you to hurt me this much. Is it because of Thabang? The fact that I slept with him?” Amo talked.

“No, Amo. I didn’t hurt you intentionally, it’s just sometimes I feel so lonely and so empty. You are always busy with your books, studying. We hardly see each other. These girls I cheat on you with throw themselves at me and at least they make time for me,” Kabelo said.

Amo couldn’t believe it, he was blaming her for his cheating. She did not say anything.

He seemed sincere in his apology. So Amo forgave him, that’s what she told him but she didn’t mean it. He had to pay for everything he did before she can forgive him. Kabelo went home as a happy man, knowing that Amo forgave him.

Amo cooked supper for her family since her mother was working late but would be home for supper.

“Amo, I hear Kabelo was here. Are you guys okay?” Amo’s mother asked as they were having supper.

“Yes Mom we are okay. He came to check up on me. I told him I was sick so he came by,” she replied.

Amo’s mother loved Kabelo. She said that he was the sweetest guy ever, so kind and caring. If only she knew the pain he put her daughter through.

Amo went to bed early but she couldn’t sleep, she was deeply hurt. She felt like her heart was ripped from her chest and shattered to million pieces. She cried herself to sleep.

It was a very cold morning so she decided to stay in bed until it was warm. She felt some wetness in her panties, she went to the toilet to find out why she was wet. It was her period.

“Yes, thank You, Lord,” she screamed.

Her periods were just late, she was not pregnant. She was so happy. She did the house chores and cooked for her younger sisters. She didn’t have anything to do so she called Kamo and asked her to come over. They have been so distant lately.

Kamo came to her house, they hugged each other tightly. They had a great time together, Amo even forgot about her problems for a while.

Kamo left, Amo was now back to how she was. She was feeling hurt and betrayed again. The feeling just couldn’t go away. She thought maybe in few days she would be okay.

Amo and Kabelo saw each other daily. They were making up for lost time. Amo went through Kabelo’s phone when he was in the kitchen. Kabelo and Omphile were still texting each other and from what she got on the texts, they were still intimate.

Kamo did not say anything. She told herself she would keep everything to herself for now. If he can play that game I can too, she thought.

Thabang called her one afternoon and she answered. They talked for hours. They agreed to meet the next day at his place.

Amo went to Thabang’s place. They talked and talked. Finally, they kissed. Thabang asked Amo if it was what she wanted. She agreed, knowing what she planned. They slept together, and fell asleep in each other’s arms. Then her phone rang, it was Kabelo.

“Hey Babe, I can’t talk right now. I am in the middle of something. I will call you later bye, I love you.” Amo answered her phone.

Amo never answered Kabelo’s calls like that. She never called him “babe”, she just wanted to piss Thabang off. He was short tempered and Amo knew it.

“Mhhmm,”Thabang said.

Amo said nothing knowing she got him where she wanted him.

“Who was that,” he asked.

“How is that any of your business? I am not your girlfriend, so don’t you ever ask me a question like that ever again,” she responded calmly.

Thabang slapped her, she fought back. They were physically fighting and Thabang was stronger than her so he overpowered her. Amo’s arm was broken.
