My mind began to race with so many thoughts asking myself does he see who is he talking to? What is really going on here I asked myself though I had an answer to it as they were both half naked then Benevolent’s voice disturbed me she was in tears “I am so sorry Mbali dear it was a mistake please forgive me” she said. I took a deep breath and asked them how can they do this to me how can they betray me like this did they ever care for my well being how can they break my trust and destroy me like this? “Was this the reason you were upsent today and couldn’t write your paper?” Azothile asked. Benevolent was kind of confused to what was she talking about then she told her that she missed a paper today that she thought we were writing in two days. “How long have this been going on?” I asked then Benevolent told me it was a once off then Mnqobi said it been a while for it started after she met her. They met when we were in matric and him and I we were about a year together. Mnqobi’s response made me want to sit down the just like that tears were streaming. Azothile comforted me as Benevolent got up and dresses came to kneel before me asking for forgiveness then he asked me to leave for I wasn’t here to cry also to stop bothering him with calls and text messages. I was shocked by his words I asked him did he ever love or value me he looked at me laughed and said he has never seen a fool like me I wiped my tears and got up as I was about to leave he called my name and said “Mbali Ndwandwe I have never even began to love you I was passing time whenever I said so how can I love a pig like you?” Those word hurtled me it was like he took a dagger and catted my heart into two halves. He continued to

say “I only wanted to taste the forbidden fruit as it was still pure, and I have never got a chance to taste one so when I heard about you I saw an opportunity and I grabbed it with both hands so it doesn’t slip. I waited for you for three years not because I love you but because I was after that pure fruit now that I have heard it I no longer need you we done”. I could stop myself from crying then Azothile suggested that we leave when we were by the doo he said the person he loved is Benevolent so me and my frog friend should not bother her or interfere in her life I must accept and move on that I wasn’t good enough we just left.
