My mother had her evening dress on, she looked amazing. “wow mom you look really hot in that dress!” I said, teasing. “I am 50 year old woman, I am supposed to look hot.” she laughed. I weared my usual clothes, but my mother made me change them, she chose a red laced dress,then cut in on the legs, to make it shorter,she quickly sewed a red silouhette on the top of the breast part making it look fashionable. I was impressed. She was not bad at fashion after all but I chose better jackets. Like father, like daughter. Sam showed up at the right time. He was wearing a red T-shirt, and blue jeans, his hair was perfect, it reminded me of superman. We exchanged greetings.My mother was smiling, I guess she was impressed. “So what do you for a living Sam?” my mother asked, with an intimidating look in her eyes. “I am an IT specialist.” he did not even blink, but I did. My heart was pouding really fast. “how much do you makeA mirror gives of a reflection of who we are, it can also be used to help remind us of who we trully are. Like the song “Man in the mirror” by Michael Jackson we do need to take a look at ourselves first, change how we treat others first before expecting others to treat us well. That’s my understanding of the song. But there are many other ways to interpret its meaning. “Wow! Mom this looks delicious. Can I have a taste” I asked. The table was neatly covered with white linen, purple grapes overfilled the salad bowl,the cockery and cutlery carefully arranged in just the correct sequence. The kind of formal look you would see in expensive formal restaurant’s and five star hotels.“Leave those grapes alone. We will eat them when our guest arrives.” said Patricia, giving me a tap on the hand.“What guest?” I asked.“Don’t tell me you are throwing a party!”
At the Safehouse…Katleho was sipping on coffee this time, she was watching Silent voices, my favourite show.“Is this season two?” I asked.“Yeah, how far are you?”“Season 5, episode 11.”“It’s hard not to get addicted. This show is epic.”“Tell me about it!” we laughed.Mika arrived.“What are you guys bragging about now?” he asked, throwing himself on the couch, causing the tea to spill.“Hey, I just washed these!” Katleho complained.“Sorry babe.” Said Mika, he looked genuinely sorry. “let me clean up this mess” he added.“No leave it! i will do it.” Katleho said, taking her stained towel to the laundry machine.“One day she’s going to dump me!”I laughed.“She wont,
Meeting with Sam's parents felt a little awkward, but great. I was glad that they didn't do any racist remarks. I looked at my phone and realised that it was time to leave for work. My mother had prepared bohobe. I put it into a plastic food container and left."You're late. Apparently Mr boss wants to see us in his office." Said Mika."And you waited for me to arrive to go in, what does your girlfriend have to say about that?" I teased.Mika paused,he said nothing until we entered Mr Phenyo's office. "Finally you came." Said Mr Phenyo, handing both Mika and I a casefile each."Thanks. Sir. We'll be in our way out." I said."Before you go,I want to thank you.""For?" Mika asked, I pinched him slightly on his hand.He brushed it off."For being patient with the organisation, for being loyal,for proving yourself worthy enough to be called Agents of the Hex. I know that it's not easy. This job can have it's.." Mr P
My mother would only call me during work hours only if it was an emergency.She respected protocol. When I arrived,I saw a second car parked in the yard. I didn't even have to knock at the door as it was wide open. It was as if calling out for me to enter."Finally, you're here!" Patricia shouted in excitement. She came towards me,then grabbed me by the hand, pulling me to her. "Come I want you to meet someone." She said. I kept my silence and wondered what it was I had to see. There she was, with bangles on her hand and large round ratings on her ears,it was Sam's mother,Lynette. Her eyes widened when I entered the dining room. I exchanged greetings with Lynette. She offered me a long hug and I could smell her sweet rose perfume."I am sure you're curious about why we are all here. The wedding is happening in two months and we still don't have a caterer!" Patricia stated.I couldn't feel my cheeks for that moment, I was embarrassed,how could I have f
Watching silent voices on my laptop,helped remind me that life doesnt end now,but instead continues on. I sometimes wondered what I would feel once I was dead,would I cry? Feel sad? Feel angry? Or feel hurt?There are times where I also wish I could change things that happened, make wiser decisions,and if there was a way to turn back time or rather be in a different timeframe then return back to the present I would do so.Limitless,how I wish I could wander freely,having no regrets, doing wise decisions all the time. I would be right all the time. Hmmm.. but such things only exist in my thoughts well,some of them do."I can't believe it,my baby is getting married!" My mother shouted. I had finished eating my breakfast in peace, I didn't expect to see my mother so early in the morning."Morning to you too" I said,then rushed to the door hoping to escape my mother's long repeated conversations."Oh Lee when will I see
"Finally!"I said in relief, I could access the hidden data I needed."Have you found anything yet?" Mika asked."Yes it's a lot to take in but guess what.i got it!" I shouted in excitement."What is it?"Katleho asked,leaning over my shoulder staring closely at the screen."Project Xena!" I said looking at the folder then I clicked enter to see more details. There was only an image of a hexagonal shaped metal with a gold cover on it.There was no other information, no words only the object ""That's project Xena? I wonder what it does!" Said Katleho."I wonder the same thing.!"But more than that I wondered why Mr Phenyo looked anxious when he heard the term Xena corporation. He seemed to know a lot. And why did Ben seem reluctant to talk about it,what was he hiding,I wondered.Meanwhile Mr Phenyo is in his apartment with Ben."You need to let go of the past,it brings nothing but pain!" Said Ben
My wedding dress was finished,my caterer decided, I was now left with finding a good venue for my wedding as well as a bridesmaid and lastly the honey moon destination,not forgetting the cake. I was in panic after realising that I hadn't completed a lot of thing's."Are you serious?" I cried out."What?" Sam asked."Look at the list!" I cried."Wedding,check. Music,check. Reception venue, check. Honeymoon, no check?""You see! Mom why didn't you tell me about this?""I am not the one getting married,you should also check if your things are organised or not!" Patricia replied."I am dead,I am completely dead!" I cried."You are not dead,you have me!" Said Sam, putting his right hand on my hand, he tried his best to be supportive."Son in law can you please excuse me,I have to go out shopping,I have to get new shoes. Mama needs to spoil herself!" My mother said waving at both
Meanwhile... My mother was at Mr Phenyo's apartment. He had driven her there incase she lost direction's."So this is your house,it's huge and manly!" Said Patricia.Mr Phenyo chuckled."I don't know about huge.Does size really matter?" Mr Phenyo joked.Patricia laughed."You have a sense of humor. Interesting."Mr Phenyo felt awkward,was Patricia flirting. Yes she indeed was flirting."I called you here for an important reason. " Said Mr Phenyo."My daughter's wedding. I do remember that.""I used to be very close to Chris,that's the only reason I am doing this!""You used to be friends?""Not exactly,but we worked together.in many project's,long before I met your daughter."Patricia was slightly irritable. The mention of my father's name, did not really sit well with her. She despised my father. She hadn't gotten over a lot of what he had done.
