I found 4 bundles of 200 bucks notes rolled together with a
rubberband,I've never seen so much cash,where did he get
that much money?and why was he keeping it in the house?
There was also a note which read "Take care of yourself with
that and call me".
I put the money back into my bag and took out the card he
handed to me on that packing lot,.A lot was going through my
mind as I stared at it,.He had a good heart and I was sure that
he didn't expect anything from me in return,he was just an
angel sent from heaven to give me hope in this misery of mine
I call a life,but as I thought more and more about everything,I
decided not to have anymore contact with Luke,I decided that
I'll pay him back as soon as life got better,no matter how long
it took,I didn't want to cause anymore problems in his
relationship,Lisa might be a crazy bitch but she was his crazy
bitch,he was fine with that,because otherwise he would've
changed the situation,right?I had to respect that and stay
away from him ,my life was drama enough as it is.
I tore the business card up and took out my pen and
notepad,wrote a list down of what to do with the money in the
bag,first thing was to go roam the streets of Tlokweng and
look for a room that I could afford,then buy something to sleep
on and other necessities,look for a job and try to stay afloat...I
spent the whole night jotting my plans down. Just before
sunrise I woke Cassie up and packed up our stuff to leave
before the builders came,we boarded a taxi to the bus rank
then connected with another one to Tlokweng. An hour later I
had found us a 1 room that had a small kitchen and a
bathroom,the price was 450 bucks a month,that was cheap
compared to the 4 previous rooms we saw which cost above
700 but had outside shared bathrooms and no kitchens,the old
landlady was so nice,she gave us the keys and I paid her,I put
our stuff in the room and locked the door to count the money
so that I knew where we stood,it added up to 4,500,I took
1500 and headed to Riverwalk for some shopping.
We bought toiletries,a pump up mattress,groceries,blankets
and a few kitchen utensils,Cassie was glowing!It was her first
shopping trip,It was nice to just spoil her,even if it was for a
short while,I went with her to a nearby restaurant to order
some food,a waitress came to take our order.
Her : Hi! Are you ready to order?
Me : (looking up)Yeah,I'd like..oh my gosh Neo!!
Neo : Eva? Heeey!(hugging me and kissing Cassie on the
cheek)Hey you!
Cassie : Hello!
Neo : (turned to me)where have you been?you just disapeared
after our last exam,..
Me : I escaped from that prison.
Neo : From the old witch?Why didn't you tell me?I was worried
sick, I kept passing by the house hoping to see you or Cassie,
thought of coming in but after she insulted me in front of the
whole village that I'm a bad influence on you, I couldn't come
in.
Me : Yeah hey,I was going to say goodbye right after the exams
but it was hectic,everybody excited and all over,couldn't find
you.
Neo : No texts or call?
Me : Yhoo! My phone died that night,haven't charged it even
now,its been months,we've been on the streets,It's been
tough.
Neo : Oh my gosh,I'm so sorry Eves..
Me : It'll be ok,things got a little better recently,..long story,I'll
tell you all about it some time,good news is we now have a
place to stay, atleast that's something..
Neo : Listen,I'll talk to the manager about getting you
something here as a waitress,,they have been looking for
somebody.
Me : For real?that would be great!I could use a job so bad.
Neo : Consider it done,he's coming in later for the night shift,I'll
talk to him then and call you after okay? charge your phone!..
Me : (teary eyes)Thanks so much!You are the few who've
always been there for me Neo,I really appreciate it..
Neo : Now, you'll make me cry,listen(holding my hands)we'll
get through this okay,life isn't gonna bring us down,we are not
quitters..
I laughed, typical Neo,she was always one to be deep about
life,always quoting famous people and philosophers,but she
did know how to cheer me up on a terrible day,its because of
her that I filtered my troubles and concentrated on reading up
for my exams. She got me through bad times,.
Neo : So what are you guys ordering,the supervisor is staring
at me(took out her notepad)
Me : We'll have the special,orange juice for her and a coke for
me..
Neo : Coming right up,.and oh..they say results may be
published anytime this week.,
Me : Great,now we can start applying..
Neo : Confident much?(laughing)
Me : (laughing)I trust us!
she went away and came back with our food,it was so great to
see her and catch up,we talked about the craziest days we had
in high school and how we used to be inseparable,she kept on
getting called away by her supervisor to attend other
customers,but she kept coming back to us. After a few hours
we said our goodbyes and called a cab drop us at the new
house because we had bought so many stuff. It was such a
promising day,I was so glad that I didn't have to call the guy
Luke suggested,it would have been easy for him to find me
and that meant more drama with Lisa,.
That night I nervously waited for Neo's call which came hours
later with good news, I could start the following day with the
afternoon shift!Everything was starting to fall into place,the
only problem was not knowing if they would allow me to go to
work with Cassie. I had to come up with a plan for her while I
was at work..
