( we finish eating dinner than we decided to watch a movie …

*** *** ***

The next morning

( I wake up and syamthanda is still sleeping and she looks so cute so I didn’t want to wake her up , I decide that I should leave a note … i left work making for sure that I didn’t wake anyone up )

At work …

( I’m at work in my office and a boy comes in he gives me a letter he asks me , are you ndumiso , than I say yes than he goes , I look inside and there’s a little note when i read it it says ” it’s nice to see you die hard ” I quickly run out and try to the delivery boy but he’s all of a sudden dissapeared , could it be coz there was only one person who nicknamed me diehard and it was phila. )

( I first ignore it coz my friend passed away years ago so I just decide to bury myself in work , then my P.A ( londeka ) comes in and she’s holding a takeaway which I know for sure has chicken dust inside coz she knows it’s my favourite….

its gossiping time , londeka says while sitting

already I mean I just started work , I respond

too bad mister and who in the right mind says no to chicken dust , she asks while opening the takeaway, and the aroma coming straight to me

( I smell the aroma and I cant say no to that )

Just joking , I was only testing your patients give me that chicken , I say

( as we’re eating we start talking about our problems … she says that there’s been a man troubling her and her children because she said no when he asked her out and to her suprise her landlord and him are related so you know they are taking advantage of me because I’m a single mom )

( you know what set up a meeting with them ,tell them that you want to talk to them then I’ll come and take care of the rest okay , oho thank you thank you she comes and hugs me , now let me enjoy my food in peace okay , no no no no no now it’s your turn to tell me your problems maybe I can help …. actually my life is perfect but there’s something bothering me , what? She says curiously , okay look today I got I letter say it’s nice to see you die hard, okay so then what’s bothering you about that )

( there’s only one person who nicknamed me diehard and that’s my friend phila… okay so … but he past away years ago … wow that is kinda strange …. what do you mean by kinda strange… I mean like it could be him … why do you think that …. you were in jail when he was buried right ?… Yah so … so you didnt see if it was him buried over there right … wait so your saying that maybe my bestfriend could still be alive … yes .. no but why didnt he visit me all these years … now that’s the million dollar question )

( after we were done talking we decided to take a flight back to Newtown to phila’s grave…it take maybe 6 : 9 hours but we eventually arrive at

are you sure about this , londeka asked

yes it’s the only thing that can answer our question , I respond while getting the shovels out of the car

but you know that we could get arrested for this , she says

I have the money to get us out of jail , I respond

fine but let’s be quick , she says

( I start digging up phila’s grave while londeka was guarding the coast )

hurry up man , londeka says

I’m trying I’m trying , I respond

( I keep digging until I hit the coffin but then ….

ndumiso there’s someone coming hurry up , londeka says

londeka make a run for it , I’m too close to stop now , I say

hey who’s there , the guard shouts coming straight to me

( I quickly open the coffin and to my suprise there’s nothing )
