As I was chilling at home and I was going to spend maybe something to a week alone I don’t wanna lie that I wasn’t ready to be left alone in the big house with many things to maintain like my garden and the livestock. Anyway I as bad as it was looking because I managed to pull the whole week and that’s when I realised that I was indeed a grown young man even my grandfather when he returns he congratulated me with the good work of an important task of managing the whole house and the yard alone for a week. Definitely it was a good start for me I guess I needed the big chance to prove myself that I am capable of doing something unexpected from me at that age. As my grandfather left me to guide the house I remember I had challenges as a young man some of them I couldn’t handle myself like when it was antibiotics to fight off the diseases so I would ask my uncle to help me out and he was handling the situation better and easier than me.
Besides somethings don’t need a one hand to pull up as they say “nobody is an island” so my uncle was there all the way. It was peace of some stage anyway I like spending my time alone with no interruptions and it works for me all the time. Everything was busy as usual as I was busy school at the same time managing my work. And Siphokuhle was always coming to keep me company as always sometimes I would ask her sometimes she would come herself I don’t know tell lies or what but she was so good to me. I don’t remember us fighting or arguing about anything she respected me as I respected her she was family to me because she was the only friend that made sure that I smile everyday at school or anywhere as long as she is there with me I know it’s obvious that I will smile immediately when I see her face and she will do the same time our friendship was something else so strong.
Days went by and it was Thursday afternoon coming from as usual I met Luxolo on my way to home and I was so tired so I was walking slowly like a tortoise I remember Siphokuhle behind because she was waiting for her roomie Sisanda to finish up locking our classroom so I never wanted to wait because I was in hurry home because that day Thursday afternoon my uncle was going come by at my grandfather’s house to help me out with treating the livestock with something with remove the ticks so that they don’t have diseases and other things that needed our attention. Anyway I like being around my uncle because he was the only person who understood me so well by that I mean emotional and physical anyway my uncle was my favourite person ever in whole family and sometimes he would tell me all the good things that will make be successful in life I like the motivation and inspiration from him.
Of course my uncle didn’t have much but I knew one thing for sure he was always pushing until he pulled it through. I would say my uncle was my guardian angel for the week I was alone at home because every morning before I go to school he was there to check me and later when I came from school. Most of time he was around with him teaching me how to be my own man anyway I learnt and it was all worth it. Anyway I was going to spend a day with Zusiphe the next following day and I wasn’t sure that I was ready for that because I think of that I remember I was just going nervous and excited at the same time I guess it sit well on me. Besides I was craving to be with her and spend at least a day with her anyway sometimes love is not about sex or what so I wasn’t planning to have sex with her not unless she insisted to have some. Luckily we were done doing whatever we were doing.
So I told myself that I’m taking a break and he said “no problem we done already” what I did I went to the water tank to wash my hands. Since now we in the generation of Coronavirus so we need to be hygiene clean. However, I went to the house to chill a bit and a day went so well. And my uncle was on his way to his house I guess we were done for the day but there was more left with me to do and I was up for the challenge anyway I didn’t believe that I can handle such big decision. By the way I did was meant to be done for the day like my home works and other things at home that needed me. An...
