“HIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART”

CHAPTER : 28 .

LWANDILE HLONGWANE . 

I just arrived at Rori's house , I'm taking Ontshiametse and Kago out for a late breakfast , we haven't gotten the chance to bond alone and just talk so I'll just use this chance . I hope Rori is here because I really miss her beautiful face .

I walk inside as they've already opened up for me and enter the house . 

“Buti Lwandile !” she says getting up and running to me . I pick her up .. 

“hey you ..” I say kissing her forehead .

“you came .. you see I'm already ready and Kago is still dressing up .” 

“i see you're ready , where's Rori ?” 

“she went to the gym , its been like 45 minutes now .” I nod , I was hoping to see her .

“okay ...” I say . 

“should i dish up for you ? She made breakfast before she left .” I nod 

“yes please my little princess .” she giggles as I put her down and she runs to the kitchen . I heave a sigh sitting down . 

Okay , I don't have a problem with Rori paying the fees and loan neh ? I thought I had a problem but I honestly don't . You should accept help when you need it and I believe i needed helped because where the fuck would I have gotten R6 million from with a 24K salary ? I'm grateful to my baby for helping me honestly , I want to thankfully thank her . I know she's mad and all that .

Ontshiametse comes back with a tray that has a plate on it and orange juice . This clever cute girl ..

“here you go ..” she says . 

“thank you , not bad ..” I say and she laughs . 

“thought it'd be messy ? nope , I'm almost 13 so i have no time for being messy .” she says as I shake my head and laugh . They grow up fast hey .. I've seen how Mpumelelo fluently speaks now , my boy is turning 6 next year . 

“oh Buti Lwandile .. I'm sorry for taking my time . I thought you weren't here yet .” he says and I nod . 

“its okay , we'll leave in a short while.” he nods and sits on the couch putting on his sneakers . 

“is mom still angry with you ?” I nod . 

“at this point , Sunday is my only option .” I say . 

“what's happening on Sunday ?” Ontshiametse asks . 

“well .. Dad actually wants to apologize to mom with flowers , chocolates , a painting and a little singing session after the church services .” I don't know if Kagoentle hears himself or what .. he's been frequently calling me dad .

“ohh that's cute , Mom can't stay mad for long so she'll definitely forgive you .” I nod .

The door unlocks and opens as Rori walks in with her best friend I think , Oratile . Her eyes land on me but she moves them away . 

“ohh , you didn't tell me your man would be here .” Oratile says .

“I'm going upstairs so i can change then we can leave .” she says running upstairs . 

“Aunt Ora , where are you guys going ?” Kagoentle asks . 

“We're going out for breakfast , then we'll be heading to hiking .” she says . 

“ohh okay , we're just going out for breakfast with dad .” there it is again , they're calling me dad . I don't have a problem with that but ngathi they don't realize that they're uttering that word . 

“ohh ... dad ?” Oratile asks glancing at me . 

“yes , dad .” Kagoentle says . 

I walk to the kitchen and place the tray down , I grab a bottle of water and walk back . 

“lets go .. the uber is here .” I say .

“okay , bye Aunt Ora .”

“bye babies ..” 

As I was grabbing my phone , Rorisang walks downstairs . I press my lips together tracing my hands down to her thighs . She's wearing a very short dress . 

“ohh yes friend ! You look gorggg!” Oratile exclaims , I sigh lightly and walk out . For the sake of peace , let me just walk out ..

We jump in the uber and it drives off , after a while , it drops us off . My phone rings and I reach out for it .. 

“you go inside , I'll be inside .” they nod and walk inside . 

I pick up the phone and place it over my ear . 

“yes ?” I say . 

“son ..” I frown , what the heck ?

“who's this ?” I say , I know exactly who's this.

“your dad , who else ?” he says . 

“dad ? I don't have a dad . What do you mean ?” I say

“Lwandile come on ..” 

“Lwandile my foot , i didn't stutter when i said you must stop calling me because I'm not gonna do what you want . I'm not you , okay ?” I click my tongue and hang up . I take a deep breath and walk inside .. 

I sit down ..

“what do you guys want to eat ?” I ask . 

“something sweet .” Ontshiametse says . 

“you guys order anything you want ..” i say sitting back , he got on my nerves . I miss him but I hate him for leaving us to suffer .
