Dzina langa ndipfi Thembuluwo Mudau. Ndi muthannga wa muvenda, Ndibva hafho ha tshisele. Ndi nne tanzhe hahashu, ndina murathu muthihi arekha Grade 8 na khaladzi muthihi are kha Grade 10. Ndi khou dzhena tshikolo hafha Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) at George campus. Zwazwino ndo edela mmbeteni wa sibadela, muvhili hoyu a u pfiwi, tshifhatuwo tsho to oma te! Dzi banditshi dzodadza tshifhatuwo tshothe na muvhili hoyu ndidzone fhedzi, naa mathina muthu u a rwiwa asala otou rali? Ndovha ndi si tshatou humbula zwavhudi uri hoiteani mulovha ngauri ndovha ndokangwa hezwila zwau fhedzisa, but I still remember walking into the club with Sibu, we had few drinks and I went to the bathroom to pee, and then next thing I know a mob of guys came and bit me up. Ndori u humbula ngauralo ndathoma u panic, naa hudovha hoitea mini kha Sibu wanga. Ndo mbodi putedza tshithu hetshi tshine tshavha tshitsini na mmbete tshino nga alarm nyana. Nurse ombodida a tshi khou gidima.

Nurse:"can I help you sir?"

Me:"uhm can you please discharge me please, I want to get out of here"

Nurse:"sorry sir but that cannot be possible"

Me:"you don't understand,  my girl friend is in trouble I need to get out of here"

Nurse:"sorry sir but your condition wont allow you". Ndopfa o nkwatisa nga maanda, ndolingedza uvuwa, eish pain yenda ipfa nehh, ndo di kombetshedza futhi eish ndo mbodiwela fhasi. Nurse lovha lonovha munangoni on her way out, ori uvhona ndi tshiwa a gidima ada kha nne.

Nurse:"if you continue to be this stuborn,  you will stay here for a months", ndopfa ndisina na mafhungo nae naluthihi so I just let her be. Ndovha ndi stressed nga maanda, mbilu yanga yovha itshikhou swela baby wanga. Nurse ovhidza manwe ma nurse vhada vha nngonyisa mmbete vha nnyededza zwavhudi, I really hate to feel this useless. Ndo mbo di humbela munwe nurse henefho uri a nkhadzime founu yawe. Ndo mbodi  founela Sibu wanga. Founu yo fariwa on the 2nd ring.

Caller:"hello", it was a man's voice, I looked at the screen in confusion to check if the phone number I dialed was correct, yes it was,  this was Sibu's number.

Me:"hello, can I please speak to Sibu"

Caller:"this is Sibu's husband, who are you?", Ee! for a second there my mind went blank, husband? As in munna wawe? how is that possible?

Me:"uhm there must be some kind of a mistake sir, Sibu is my girl friend and she can't be married", ndopfa uri azwi konadzei, Sibu can't be married, no this has to be a prank or something like that.

Celler:"oww so you are that doomkop that we bit up at the club neh, a piece of advice my man, stay away from my wife", his voice was terrifying,  ndo mbo di dropper call nga tshipidi, So Sibu is married?,  mara how? Ngoho ndovha ndisitshena na nungo, the horrorified look on my face must have been very visible because the nurse walked in and said:

"sir did something bad happened?", I couldn't answer her, Sibu was the love of my life and now I just found out that she was married.  I know most people probably think that guys don't get heart broken but I think I just did. I stared into space and felt lost

Nurse:"uhm can I now have my phone please", she took it from my hand as if she was a bit scared of me, I was still starring into space and then a tear came out. Ahhh thats when I realised that nwana houla ommbaisa, thi muthannga wa ndenwa na luthihi ende zwa mitodzi asi zwanga but namusi khezwi ndikhou lilela nwana wa muxhosa. Ndo mbodi thoma u humbula murahu when I first met that girl, eish habe ndi khotou zwihumbula sau tou nga nazwino zwoitea mulovha hanefha.

. . .

Owk before I get too carried away, ndikhwine uthoma nda talutshedza ngaha musi nditshi thoma uswika hafha NMMU  uvhuya uswika nditshi funana na hoyu Sibu na musi nditshi likitwa hangei clabuni ndavhuya nda diwana ndihafha hune ndavha hone zwino. Ndophasa Grade 12 zwavhudi nga maanda, ndovha ndobvisa yenei Barchelor yahone, ndo mbodi decider uya udzhena NMMU, reason for that being that ndovha ndi tshi khou toda uvha ndikule na vhabebi. You know how people always say they want some freedom mara for me it was compulsory because my dad was not someone I enjoyed being around with, he was really not my favourate person in the world, so being here was refreshing for me, although I felt sorry for my mom and my sublings for being home with him, there was absolutely nothing I could do, nne ndokona uvha kondelela and I was sure my siblings would do the same too. Anyway ndombodida hafha NMMU mahola, nda registara for a Diploma in Nature Conservation. Zwovha zwisongo leluwa kha nne saizwi afrikaans isa vuwi and vhathu vhafhano vhaambesa yone. Tshinwe hafhu English yovha isatu vuwa zwavhudi lini saizwi ndodi dzhenela henefhala Azwifarwi, no offence fhedzi English iitiwa nga 2nd language hangei, so ndori nditshi swika NMMU ya touvha khakhathi.

On my first day there during registration,  ndovha nditshi khou tinga tinga, ndisa divhi na uri mini tshigai. And then ndambodi khukhulana na inwe authi zwenezwi musi nditshi khouya hehavha hu khou registariwa hone.
