It was March 14th and the day was very bright as the sun was shining. I was in a happy relationship with a very handsome and charming hardworking male. He was dark in complexion and had beautiful brown eyes. We were 6 months into it and he was everything I ever wanted, and more. So I got a call from my boyfriend and he was asking if we could just go out and have an ice cream date at our nearby park. When I received the call I was with my best friend and I had to ask my boyfriend if my friend can come along. Like I said, my boyfriend was the sweetest so he couldn’t say no. So it was a date!! For three though. Although this sounded a bit weird, I was excited. I mean the most important people in my life were going to meet for the first time today. Yeeey.

So my friend left to her place to prepare while I left behind and took a bath. I dressed up in a nice yellow summer dress and put on a matching nail polish on my toes and white floral sandals. I put my weave on and a summer hat and I was ready to go. I called my friend to ask where she was and she said she will meet Me at the corner in 5 minutes. I was so excited. My boyfriend had asked me to bring towels and cups for drinks and he will buy everything else needed. So in the 5 minutes while awaiting my friend I was busy packing those. Guys I am so excited at this moment. So I met with my friend and we left to the park, we walked because it’s only 10 minutes from my house to the park. Finally we arrived. I saw my men and he was wearing a white t.shit and black denim shorts with black sandals he was just standing near his car at the park. So I immediately noticed something strange when I spotted my partner. Funny, they were wearing the same matching outfits with my best friend. So my friend was wearing a black short and white t.shirt also and black rage sandals. Well me being me I never took that much into consideration. We went and chilled although it seemed a bit weird because it looked like they were the couple and I’m the friend, sigh.

So we sat, had ice cream and it was nice. My boyfriend had bought a bottle of vodka so we had that also. So now I was getting a bit tipsy and noticed that my friend was getting too close to my boyfriend. My boyfriend was acting weird and got angry all of a sudden. I asked what’s wrong and he said he diddnt like how my friend was looking at him. So because my friend was already tipsy too I then initiated that we go home because it was already late. So we packed things in my boyfriends car because he offered to take us home. We dropped my friend at her place and went to my place. He was parked outside because I diddnt allow him into our yard yet because I was still staying at home with my parents. We had a long conversation in the car and I had to apologize for my friends behavior. My boyfriend seems okay with it and said “no baby let’s move past it, she was drunk”, so we dropped it. It was getting dark and luckily his windows were a bit darker so people couldn’t see us inside. We started kissing and ended up giving him head. I mean a girl had to do what a girl had to do.

It’s now June and I have not seen my friend since the park. So I decided to give her a call and ask if she’s around so I can come visit her. I also wanted to give her the good news that my boyfriend and I were engaged. I called and it went straight to voicemail. I then decided to go straight to her house. I knocked and nobody answered. As I was about to leave I met her little sister outside the gate and I asked her where her sister( my friend) is? She told me that my friend had gone to their aunts place and it’s been almost 3 months now. I asked her if she knew why and she said “usisi ukhulelwe” meaning her sister is pregnant. Okay this came as a shock because I diddnt even know that my friend had a boyfriend, let alone having sexual intercoure.

It’s July and I just got my results from this other test I wrote for a job opening, I just received a call that I passed the test and I’m invited for an interview. This is great news!!! And I am so excited. I’m about to have my first job.

I try to call my boyfriend to tell him the good news. His call rang 4 times and nobody was picking it up. When I was trying to call for the 5th time I noticed there was an incoming call.

Wow the call was from my friend, my best friend. I excitedly answered and I wanted to immediately tell her the good news. She just kept quite for a long time while I was busy talking and all she said was , ” friend I’m pregnant, with your boyfriends child” then she hung up. I tried to call her and it took me straight to voicemail. I called my boyfriend and his phone was also taking me straight to voicemail. I diddnt know what to think or do. I decided to go to my friends place again, maybe this time I’ll get someone to tell me something. I found her grandmother and she told me that my friend no longer stays there but she went to stay with the father of her baby when she found out that she was pregnant. She even told m that the boys family came to pay damages and asked that my friend should come stay there with the guy. At this point I’m shaking. I’m dizzy and dissapointed at the same time. I still have not found any closure till date. They both blocked me from their numbers and on whatsaap. I only see them on Facebook that they had a healthy baby boy and are about to get married.
