THE ARRANGEMENT

~~
TWENTY NINE

I'm by the stove making something to eat when I hear a knock at the door
Thandiswa would have shouted if it was her.
The knock persists and my mind rushes back to Zoro. I'm still very much afraid of that man.

"MaNgcobo"
Oh Mshibe. His voice sounds a bit weird
What the hell is he doing here?
Shouldn't he be making sure if Bheka is indeed the culprit or not

I open the door and he stumbles inside almost taking us both to the ground. He is so heavy! I try so hard to keep my balance and he stands on his own. Now that he is standing he doesn't stumble anymore. He squints his eyes as if analysing me then smiles widely like a lunatic and folds his arms. I'm not sure what to make of this situation.
