Narrated
Olerato was not in her room when Thuto entered. This place seems to be calming her down. It is what he needed, to take a break and just admire Olerato’s room.
Olerato entered her room and looks exhausted and mostly, heart broken. All she needs is to take a quick shower and sleep.
“Finally you’re here, I have been waiting for you”
“Oh Thuto, you’re here?”
“You don’t look happy to see me”
After what he said to me in his mother’s house, yeah right I’m not okay.
“I’ll take a quick shower”
The atmosphere is tense here. Olerato went to shower and Thuto is on the bed.
Then suddenly Thuto hears a soft knock on the door. It might be one of her parents.
“Olerato, someone is knocking” the silence.
“Olerato… Someone is looking for you. I think it is your mother”
The knocking stopped.
“Someone was knocking. Didn’t you hear me calling you?”
Thuto asked Olerato seeing her approaching. Olerato is really not in the mood today.
“Are you mad at me??”
“What do you think? Are you that dumb?”
“What is it? Is the way I talked to my mother?”
“Your mother think I killed you. Is that why you are running after me? Are you looking for revenge? You told your mother I killed you right? This explains why you keep coming here. You want me to trust you and boom you’ll avenge your death. I am such an idiot, trusting ghosts? God must be laughing at me”
“Olerato where did you hear that? Of course I’m not here for that.. My mother was just…”
“Please leave my room, I want to rest”
“Olerato please. You know what happened, you were there. I’m sure you heard those things my mom were saying to me”
“Please leave Otsile, leave. Maybe it’s time I tell my mom that there’s a ghost that’s tormenting me so she can bring a pastor here to stop ghosts from entering our house or perhaps call a traditional healer”
“Please don’t do that. I will not survive please. Don’t let me be trapped outside the yard. I won’t survive without seeing you. You bring me so much peace. Please Olerato”
“You will survive, the very same way you were surviving before we met. I want us to keep things like that, no more you, no more me, no more us”
