Chapter 2A Chapter by Ntandoyenkosi Ngcobo
The world crushed in front of Noluntu as she
could not really understand the words of Mama. After all this years "Why Now?" She felt betrayed and did not know who else to turn to as Mama had been her pillar of strength, the source of strength and of charecter. To be who she was this day it was because of Mama's moulding her like nature processing the earth's precious stones over a million of years. Like a rare diamond she was held nd treated delicately, as strong as she was you could swear she was the most fragile creature in the world. "Mama's weakling", her friends would taunt her knowing fully that her perceived weakness from the world was all but a dillusion. She was the strongest of the strong, firm and composed, confident yet humble as a lamb. She pinched and slapped herself trying to come to terms to what was taking place. She hoped by chance it was a dream and prayed she would wake up from the nightmare she found herself taking centre stage. As her eyes swelled in tears, she succembed to numbnes as she achieved deafening silence towards the excited chatter going on around them. In her state I swear you could hear a pin drop a thousand miles away. Surely the world had come to an abrupt convulsing end. All she had hoped for had come to an end, drowning in shallow yet death inducing waters. She watched as Mama dropped the laundry and could barely notice as it tumbled on the bare ground gathering dirt at the speed of lightining. In horror her eyes did not believe her eyes as her "Mama" dropped to the dust and leaf ridden path in a heap of of human matter. Her ears exploded as her ears registered the wails of Mama emanating from her feet. Her tears flooded her face as the eye lids could no longer hold them back. As she far as she knew this revelation had but sealed her fate to un imaginable world. The c**k crows and Noluthando is startled to discover her pillow soaked to the core. She is shocked to realize she has been crying in her sleep. "Nolu!!!!!!, Your are going to be so late for your Math class!" Mama shouts as she draws close to het door. Jumping out of bed with a smile on her face she exclaims to her self, "No matter how long the night can last, Dawn shall always come!!!!" Its a brand new day for Noluthando... Was she having a Nightmare? © 2015 Ntandoyenkosi Ngcobo |
