Melokuhle



Each and everyday was the same, Melusi came each morning bringing me breakfast that was well prepared with eggs, bacon, and toasted bread.

The only time he doesn’t come by was during the afternoon, my lunch was brought in by a maid who looked like she was 50 years and not even once had she said anything to me or even looked me directly on the eyes.

As days passed I cried less and less when I realised that my father wasn’t going to rescue me anytime soon.

I spent most days locked up in this room and only used the bathroom that was joined with this room.

Melusi walked in, wearing a white and black tux and placed a dress on my bed “Go bath in 20 minutes we are going.” And walked out.

I was confused but nonetheless I walked into the bathroom and quickly took a shower and went and put on the dress, it fit me perfectly, holding me in all the right places.

The dress was black, and an off shoulder. I quickly put on my make up that I found on the bed and waited patiently for Melusi to walk in and he did, he didn’t even look twice in my direction and walked out not knowing what else to do I followed him and that’s when I realised that I was locked inside the basement.

The house was beautiful, it was huge and beautifully decorated, It was like those house shown in grand houses.

We walked out of the front door and I took a deep breath, it has been so long that I had breathed fresh air.

The stars were shining up in the sky and the moon was so big as if you could touch it.
