Kabelo panicked after stabbing his wife and drove her to hospital lied about mugging gone wrong and went to hide at her childhood home in Katlehong hoping for his wife to wake up and forgive him. “There’s something I have to tell you Nyiko” I said as I sat on the bench, “All my life I watched my mom being a punching bag being punched and kicked for not cooking pap or for wearing tight clothes in public, there’s nothing nice about my life I cried myself to sleep everyday hoping things will change I always told her that one day he’s going to kill you but she believed that he’ll change my mom is a qualified teacher but she’s not supposed to work according to him!”.

I said as I cried hugging myself Nyiko and her mom both hugged me “I always knew that something is happening but I wasn’t sure and I didn’t want to meddle in your private life, It’s going to be okay your mom is going to wake up and we are going to report him” she said hugging me tightly sniffling. “Let’s go home and get some rest you’ll call your grandma when we get home” Nyiko’s mom said and we all stood up and walked out of the hospital in a sombre mood I wonder where he is but he’ll soon face the music.

We got home and I called koko: “Hello koko ke Fifi wa bolelang” I said unenthusiastic “Fifi gorileng ngwana-ngwanaka molato keeng?”, “Mama o spetlela koko bamo thlabile ka thipa ake tsebe otlo phela nang” I said crying. “Ijoonna weeh! Ngwanaka ketsibile gore that good for nothing scumbag is going to kill her one day, byale wena okae gona byale?” She asked worried, “Ska tshwenyega koko kemo gabo mogweraka ke sharp ketla gobona gosasa okay?”. “Golokile o bolokege”.

A week later:

Dineo is slowly recovering physically and emotionally as she learnt that she has lost her baby due to the injury, she reported KB for domestic violence and attempted murder and also filed for divorce. KB has been arrested and has already lost his job and there’s a chance that he’ll lose everything to his wife during the divorce.
