It was a dark and rainy day in Malamulele and I was soaking wet because of the rainfall. I just couldn’t wait to go home and soak myself in a warm bubble bath and have some hot cocoa. I was just from my ex house to visit my children who apparently live with their father and grandma. Who am I if you may ask?I am Ntlakuso Sithole “Ndzi ntukulu wa vandawu”

I waited for the taxi to become full but I waited for hours and only one person showed so I decided to went hiking. Who would have thought that I would find my soulmate through hiking.

Well I waited for 30 minutes and this red sport car showed up and offered me a lift I didn’t want go with him but he looked at me and asked,”Would you rather get wet or come in” I thought to myself and I came to my conclusion that I’d rather get inside the car

I went inside and he drove me home,He then asked me if I remember him or not and he looked at where I was and I immediately said ,”Kuhlula is that you?” And he just smiled. He asked if I would like to grab some ice cream someday and I said yes without hesitation. I had finally got home and I got off then I thanked him.I got home and took a bubble bath to get the cold off my skin and had some cocoa.

We went for the ice cream date and I just couldn’t stop thinking about him I had had my head up in the clouds. Day dreaming about the second date and I couldn’t care if it rains if it shines
I had butterfly in my stomach and just couldn’t stop giggling. Months passed and we kept going on going on dates and here we were I was in love I finally had new love on my doorstep. And I let it in.

Hello I’m Ntsakiso Sithole, sister to Ntlakuso, daughter to Jane Sithole and I and my sister are grandchildren of Sarah Sithole. And I and Ntlakuso are twins well now that you’ve heard my sister’s story let me tell you how I fell in love with the same man who thought her and I were one person since we look alike. It was a sunny day and I was with my girlfriend Rifilwe in the park and he came by and just as I stood up he grabbed my hand and kissed me and he said hello dear. All I said is that a way to flirt with a girl and slapped him. My girlfriend saw what was going on but she wasn’t willing to listen so we broke up..BTW am LBGTQ and my sister is straight.

For the first time in my life when a guy kissed me I got butterflies in my stomach and I couldn’t help to want to see him again, so I rushed back to the park and there he was sitting by himself so I asked him his name and he quickly replied,”How could you forget my name after the time we spent together..”Then I remembered that it was Kuhlula we went to school together and then we went for some ice cream down the road. We exchanged numbers though I was confused because he had asked me how I lost them and I figured that maybe he was talking about back when we were kids. We went on three dates and we enjoyed ourselves we took some selfies and we parted ways.

So he asked me to dinner and said I’ll think about it. And he then met with Ntlakuso the next day and he asked her if she had thought of going on a dinner date with him. And she said yes and then when I got home from work , he called me and said we’ll meet at 7 pm sharp on Friday and I was very confused on how he knew I would say yes.

But then i decided to let it side. My heart had been pounding for him and I just wanted to have him all to me,but yet my heart still had a space for Refilwe. You know I and my sister had never seen eye to eye ever since she found out I was Bisexual. Well she knew that I was Lesbian but only for I to find out that I am bisexual.

It was a lovely night the moon laying next to the stars up high in the skies. And as I was getting ready for our dinner date I got a call from my sister and she said she wanted to tell me that she got a boyfriend and I was very much surprised because we haven’t talked for months not to mention that my mother had disowned me.i sometimes wish I had a father maybe he would have supported me and my decisions unlike some people .So I told he that I also had a new love and this time it was a guy and she was very happy for me. Like she even asked me to do a double date with me. I know some of you might be wondering what happened to my father well our father was never part of our lives because my mother got pregnant with us after he had raped her and also mentally abused her. Oh well enough about my dad let’s go back to the story..I agreed and I wanted to make it a surprise to my boyfriend So my sister told her boyfriend and when we got there

You couldn’t believe what happened.
He took one look at us with shock and said,”I thought you were one person and Ummm”
My sister was so furious with me that a raging beat bursted out of her and she took her long claws and scratched my face and and then got us kicked out of the restaurant. I tried to apologise to the manager but he didn’t wanna hear a word from any of us. I and my sister went back to giving each other a cold shoulder.

After a few months I thought that we should behave like civil people and and come to a conclusion and I asked him to choose between my sister and I and guess whom he chose? My sister of course. For they had spent a lot of time together and bonded very well. I thought it through and went to Refilwe and asked for love back. But she refused after some while I heard that she had taken her own life because of her girlfriend and she had blamed me for her death because if I hadn’t left her things would have a lot different. I also felt the same in the depth of my heart. I went to offer my heart felt condolences but her family refused a hear anything from me. I then had a crave for blood whose blood of you may ask well you are about to find out.
