Thabo was back from the library sitting on a sofa still thinking about the girl he met at the library and his thoughts was distracted by his step brother katlego returning from the mall
Katlego burst through the door, eager to share the news with Thabo. “Yo, Thabo! I met the most amazing girl at the mall today!” he exclaimed. He went on to describe Lerato in detail, from her long, dark hair and piercing brown eyes to her bright smile and infectious laugh. Thabo listened intently, nodding along as Katlego shared their conversation, from their shared love of music and movies to their adventurous spirits. Katlego couldn’t stop raving about Lerato, telling Thabo about her smart wit, funny sense of humor, and kind heart. Thabo smiled and congratulated Katlego, happy to see his brother so smitten. But as Katlego continued to gush about Lerato, Thabo couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was familiar about the description, and he wondered if it was just a coincidence.
*************************************************
Thabo lay awake that night, his mind racing with thoughts of Katlego’s new girlfriend, Lerato. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off, that the description sounded eerily familiar. But as he tossed and turned, he tried to convince himself that it was just a coincidence. “There are plenty of girls with long, dark hair and brown eyes,” he thought. “And lots of girls like music and movies.” He told himself that Katlego’s Lerato was probably a completely different person from the girl he had met at the library. “It’s just a weird coincidence,” he reassured himself. Finally, after hours of internal debate, Thabo managed to calm his mind and drift off to sleep, convinced that his brother’s girlfriend was someone entirely different from the girl who had captured his own heart.
