Gogo stood under the shower , her phone was vibrating , she looked over to see who was calling and it was an unknown number , calling from South Africa .she picked up her phone and it accidentally slipped into the bucket of water .
Gogo screamed out .
” My phone , my expensive phone ,yohhweeee Maiwe Kani ”
Grace heard the scream and ran as soon as she could .
” Gogo are you fine ”
” My phone fell into the water ” .
” Huh. Is it alright. How did it fall ”
” Grace how can you ask if it’s alright , it’s dead ”
” No give it here , do you have rice ” .
” Rice ? ”
” Yes rice gogo , talk fast ”
” I don’t have rice , it finished yesterday ”
” Yohhweeee Saka what will we do ”
” Eish my phone , huh phone yangu yohwee how will my Maka contact me ”
” It’s okay Gogo , we will get you another phone it’s not a big deal ”
” Where is the money , the money I received from Amanda is for food and is supposed to last for a very long time I can’t take that money to buy a phone ”
” Gogo relax I will buy it for you ”
” Watii , are you serious ”
” Yes just go back to bathing before someone sees you and don’t stress ”
“Thank you my daughter ,thank God must bless you ”
**************
Maka is frustrated . Why is all these bad things happening to her . Has her prayers not been heard , why is God not answering her prayers. For how long must she suffer in the hands of the devil . She has prayed and prayed , for God to unleash the demon that controls Amanda into becoming a beast .
Maybe Amanda has no evil spirit controlling her maybe she is just like that . Maybe she has changed . Maybe Amanda has grown to hate her , her sister hates her for no reason maybe she should just ask Amanda why she hates her .so she can fix whatever needs to be fixed .
She wiped her tears and hide her cellphone into her cupboard .
Once again , never has she ever felt so hopeless and depressed .
Luvuyo sits in his study room , he has the pictures that Buhle gave him spread out infront of him .
He looks at them with his hand holding his chin .
The spade cuts right through his heart as he looks at those pictures . Could Amanda be telling him the truth , but why didn’t Buhle mention it . Why didn’t Buhle tell him the full story ,surely she knows the full story she is Amanda’s best friend . Was she hiding the truth from him because she wants Amanda to look bad.
Nothing makes sense , the pictures Amanda’s story , Buhle’s story . Nothing . He honestly doesn’t know what to believe .
He turns and looks at the pregnancy scans that Amanda gave him in a envelope .
He scratches his head. He cannot seem to understand anything .
It doesn’t make sense that , Xhanti blackmailed her . Why would he blackmail her with such information , irrelevant information . Something one should feel sorry about . Unless Amanda is actually lying and switching the story .
There is only one person to confirm at and that is Buhle is source of information . She will tell him the truth , because she loves him .. something doesn’t make sense .
“Amanda was either pregnant with … No I can’t make any conclusions .” He said to himself .
He wouldn’t want to loose the love of his life without knowing the actual truth , maybe Amanda is a victim of something that she doesn’t want to tell him .
*********
Amanda enters the kitchen and finds Maka , slowly cutting the tomatoes .
She takes the lid from the pots that ware inside the cupboards and hits them together , creating a loud sound that can hurt ones ears .
” Cut faster I am hungry ” she shouted
Maka made no response , she just nodded her head then continued cutting in her slow motion .
” Amanda can I ask you something ”
” Excuse me ”
” I am not going to call you Queen because you are no Queen you are my sister ”
” I am not your sister , we don’t share the same blood in any way . “
” Why do you hate me ,so much , what did I ever do to you ”
” I don’t hate you , but you just fit perfect into the picture ”
” What picture ? What did I do to you . Amanda you used to be the best sister , what changed ”
” What changed is realising the pain your family caused my mother ”
” What are you talking about ”
” You don’t need to know but just know that you are paying the sins of your mother ”
” What did my mother do ”
” Go and ask her , if you can find her ”
” Amanda you are fighting a battle that you do not know about ”
” I know everything about it ,and you are going to pay ”
” Then you might as well kill me ”
” No , no you see the plan is not to kill you but to make you suffer ”
” For what I do not know ”
” It’s not my problem , your mother should have thought about it before doing what she did to us ”
” You are insane Amanda , you must be smoking some cheap drugs “she said with anger in her tone .
Amanda slapped Maka and Maka returned the slap even more harder .
Maka was pushed back but she fought with a ferocity born of desperation . She was a very angry , she dragged Amanda to the floor and punched her in her face , Amanda tried to resist but Maka was more stronger then she was .
” I don’t care you can fetch your gun when I am finish with you ”
Amanda covered her face with her hands , protecting her face from another punch .
” Today you will know who I am ,you think I am scared of you huh Amanda ” Maka shouted as she slapped Amanda across the face .
Amanda screamed out for help . Maka held her hands and sat on top of her ” you are fat for nothing Amanda ” Maka said
Amanda then forcibly and with all pressure , pushed Maka off her . She stood up and beat Maka on her head with all her anger and force .
Maka now couldn’t resist , because she was down . Amanda raised her leg and kicked Maka in her stomach .
Maka howled out in Agony and Amanda once again Kicked her .
Amanda turned around to look for a wooden spoon. Maka on the other side , crawled holding her stomach trying to get up .
Amanda searched for the wooden spoon but could not find it . Instead she ran to her bedroom to look for her wip .which she kept inside to beat any Skollie who tried to steal or break in .
Maka was in agony , she couldn’t anymore . She couldn’t , she tried to stand up but she kept falling down .
Amanda found her wip she walked into the passenger and found Maka on the floor bending . She kicked her and made her fall then gave her one wip .
” Next time do not disrespect me ” she continuously said wiping Maka .
And Maka screamed in agony . She slowly Turnt around and begged Amanda not to hit her .
Amanda stopped and pointed her with the wip and said .
” You must regret slapping me ”
Maka took the opportunity to pull the wip out of Amanda’s hands . They both had it on grip not letting go . Maka then kicked Amanda with her feet making her fall to the back , over the sofa and to the ground . Maka then slowly got up ,holding her stomach and held on to the counter .
Amanda got up and threw Maka with a pillow but the pillow went east instead of North .
Amanda took another pillow then threw it at Maka . And it hit her face , giving Amanda the chance to attack Maka .
While Amanda hits Maka on her back , Maka reaches for the knife that is on the counter which she used to cut tomatoes .
She stabs Amanda right in the leg and Amanda falls back shouting in Agony..
Maka does not hesitate , she slowly in pain walks in the direction of the key holder . She grabs the key and slowly walks in the direction of the door.while Amanda is crying in pain .
***********
Gogo got herself dressed into her church attire . She stopped panicking , when Grace decided that she would fix Gogo’s phone so that she can keep her chats and contacts .
She was relieved to hear that . Her mind was restless when thinking about loosing her phone , it’s the only communication she has . Who knows maybe it was Maka who called her and her phone feel into the number .
Ofcause it was her , who else from South Africa would call her on an unknown number .
AS soon as her phone is fixed she will call Maka back . IF it was her calling .

Xhanti stood in his room , looking at the different pictures that was on his wall . Most of them scratched out with a black marker and only 2 left that is not scratched .
He clicked his tongue , his aim was Buhle but now she is out of the picture , she is no longer worth it . He removed her picture from his hall and burnt it in the candle .
His really out for it . It has always been his job tryna play detective in his own way .
He took a deep breath as his eyes landed on the picture of Luvuyo .
” What are we gonna do about you ” he murmured to himself .
There has got to be a way that he can save his friend .
