Zinhle: Happily ever after?

chapter 4

This morning i was woken up by a call from reception informing me that there was a delivery for me, my dad finally delivered my car!! Along with all my other boxes of books, hair products and photo frames so i can finally get started with redecorating this place!!!

I am so excited, i finally get to live out my interior design passion in my own living space. I am off the couch,opened the windows for some fresh air, its just after 10 in the morning so i decide to take a long bath with my bath salts which were just delivered, my body needed this after involuntarily sleeping on this uncomfortable couch.

After my bath i pick an outfit, well its drizzling outside so i hope for thick black leggings, a black "Gang" hoodie which has the word "gang" written in white,I wear my white airforce, tied my hair into a neat bun and didnt even bother laying edges today , I'm lazy so dont look at me like that and besides, its not like I'll bump into someone i know. Perks of living in a new city.

I grab my car keys, well let me introduce you to my baby, i drive a red mercedes benz A45, Dr Zulu(My dad) bought it for me when i obtained the bursary because that meant he wont ever have to pay any tuition fees for me.

There's a shopping centre that is close to my complex but it looks to be having very limited stores so instead i drive to a bigger mall in the white suburbs. First stop, is definitely Mr price home. I bought white sheets, bedding and pillows(white just brightens up every room) and i bought side lamps, and theres one cute colourful bedding which comes with matching curtains, I'm taking that.

I then bought carpets for my bathroom as well as new blinds(white) the apartment originally has brown blinds and for me, brown is too dull.

Finally for my sitting room, i bought a large mirror to put on one side of the dinning area, a nice A3 painting to put on the wall by the stair case leading to the bedrooms. I bought flower pots, vases, a table centre piece, the cute fluffy grey cushions for my couches and a nice fluffy grey carpet for the sitting room, i spent an arm and a leg for these things but lucky me, my dad is paying!!!

I head to Game store, bought a nice big glass coffee table which will get delivered to my apartment later today, i bought pots and plates, bowls cutlery, a toaster and everything kitchen related.

Finally, woolworths for groceries, my car is so packed by the time I'm driving back. I am so exhausted but i need to unpack, cook and then relax because tomorrow is the big day.

After unpacking and arranging everything in their designated places, i am impressed, my house finally feels homey, to top it all off, i decide to cook my favourite meal, mutton stew and dumpling! Which fits perfectly with todays weather.

By the time my butt hits the couch its already 8 in the evening and i am having my delicious dinner while going through my social media which is something i barely do, i go through twitter and there seems to be nothing interesting, intergram, I always visit somizi's account first to check out any of his new recipes because i enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes.

He prepared oxtail, i am definitely trying this, it looks delicious and anyway i have all the ingredients needed for it, except for wine. I go onto my Facebook and i am so tempted to check on Mulalo's wall, he has been posting a lot of pictures ey, one thing catches my eye though, theres this one person who keeps commenting on his pictures but him being so secretive, he never replies, I'm sure that, thats his girlfriend.

I wont lie, my heart aches everytime i think about what he did to me, what he did to us, i hate love with all of my being, in fact i dont believe that true genuine love exists.

I have lost my appetite so i put the food in the fridge, i transfer the leftovers to different containers and pack it in the fridge. I head straight to bed,i dont even feel like showering so i just set my alarm to 6a.m even though my shift starts at 8 o'clock and the office building is literally just a 10 minute drive away.

I didnt even plan an outfit, i just lost all my excitement, i dial Phelo's number and it goes to voicemail, i try calling mpumi and hers rings unAnswered, well let me just sleep this off
