I was having fun with Olwethu we were just getting to know eachhe is 25 years owns a restaurant and he is an accountant he has a sister he has pretty much done well for himself that I can say what I noticed about him is that he wants a serious relationship get married and have kids
Him: so tell me if I had to ask you to marry me would you say no?
That I didn't expect and I didn't know how to respond to that I mean we just started what ever it is that we are doing I don't think we are at a point where we can be having this talk
Me: I don't know I haven't thought that far and besides I doubt we are even sure about our feelings right now
Him: Talk about yourself because I do not sleep with someone I don't have feelings for so what's really your answer?
He had a straight face on and his voice was now firm I swallowed hard while thinking of how to respond to this
Me: to be honest I'd say no now but if you had to ask me that question again in a few months I'd say yes because at least then we'd know each other better
Him: you can say yes and get to know me at the same time I don't see anything wrong with that
Me: come one there is no rush we are still young
Him: (irritated) I'm too old to be playing hide and seek Lindo it's either we in this for real or you stop wasting my time
With that said he stood up paid the bill and left
Yhooo this was unexpected turn of events I slowly stood up and made my way out
I got to my room mom came in
Her: pack your things dear we are leaving at 18:00 exactly
Me:..... Silence......
Her: Lindo did you hear what I just said to you?
I was still thinking about Olwethu his reaction to this whole thing is showing me something else
My mom came and sat next to me
Her: Baby what's wrong? You haven't said a word since you got in
Me: it's nothing I can't handle mom
Her: you know you can tell me anything
I can't tell my mom because she will only want me to say yes if it's a marriage proposal Imma decide for myself this time around
Me: MA don't worry I can handle this
I stood up and started packing my thingd
Her: we will have an early lunch with Olwethu and his mom by the way
Oh great now I have to deal with him again
Later on we prepared to go down to the dining hall to have this early dinner Olwethu and his mom were already sited we joined them
Olwethu: Hey sorry about earlier (whispering) I guess I don't do well with rejection
Me: it's okay but I didn't reject you I just said we should take things slow
His mom: you guys seem so serious care to share with all of us
Me : hayi MA it's nothing serious
Hime: I asked Lindo to be my wife and she said no
Mom: Hawu Lindo awatsho kum
Me: he didn't propose many we were just talking about it
His mom: wow this calls for a celebration
Oh my God what did I get myself into
Me : hayi MA it's nothing serious
Hime: I asked Lindo to be my wife and she said no
Mom: Hawu Lindo awatsho kum
Me: he didn't propose many we were just talking about it
His mom: wow this calls for a celebration
Oh my God what did I get myself into I looked at Olwethu he seemed to be pleased by this

I woke up and it was now 19:00i went downstairs to get something to drink and also watch TV I doubt I'll fall asleep soon
Grams: can't sleep either
I jumped gosh I didn't see grams there
Me : grams you scared me are you okay?
Her: I'm okay dear just lost my sleep to a terrible dream
Me: sorry grams let's watch TV together I'm sure mzansi biskop has stories we can watch
We headed to the lounge to watch the story was called Luthando
Me: I wish love was like this but in reality it's something else
Her: but Luthando was saved from her step mother by that man what a blessing can that be
I know where this conversation is going and I don't know if I can continue with it
Me: grams can you atleast give me a month to decide
Her: no rush dear but just know that I'm not gonna be around forever
Me : no problem grams
This is just great mzansi biskop chooses to play this story now
Her: by the way Mandy said you should visit them more often and I think it's a great idea get to know them a bit better
Me: it's not them that I have to get to know better I'm suppose to know my 'husband' better and besides I haven't said yes so there won't be a need to get comfortable with them
Her: Just visit them dear and then you'll take it from there
Aiii I'm not getting out of this one so lemme just say yes
Me: okay grams I'll visit them on weekends
I wonder if Noma will agree to giving her maid weekends off I'll leave that to grams to do

After dinner we went to our rooms to get our bags I am just praying that mom doesn't talk about this marriage thing I feel like I'm drowning every time it is mentioned she got in
Me: okay that will be all let's go man rushing to the door
Her: you can't keep running away from this
I stopped and turned
Me: mom please can we not talk about this now
She lifted her hand in the form of surrendering
This is gonna be a long drive back home
I got in the car and I went on my phone immediately so that we don't talk
Her: you are going to say yes Andithi?
Me: you know I have a lot of catching up to do I'm a bit behind with school
She stared at me and focused back on the road
Her: changing the subject I see
I just looked at her and said nothing
Her: I can't to get home so that I can tell grams I wanna see her face when she sees its you getting married not her precious Okuhle
Gosh my mom is always scheming
Me: really Ma?
Her: what? You can't blame me for being proud of you
Me: what if I say no?
Her : I know you won't you are too smart to say no and besides what do you have to lose that boy has money even his mom too you'll get anything you want
I don't believe my mom right now it's always about money to her ayy
I just looked out the window and prayed we get home sooner
