sion to a university abroad with the help of his uncle and would be starting school soon. It was great news. That night, Zuko and I spent our final moments together at the river bank. We discussed

ize at that moment that he was already starting to prefer that place over here. He might decide not to come back again. I hugged him and said, "Remember that South Africa is where your family and friends are, and no other country can replace that." He understood what I meant and held me closer. I felt the same sensation as before and hoped it would happen again. He felt it too and leaned in to kiss me. Our lips gently met, and his hands held onto my waist. The intensity grew as I felt his desire burning in his chest. He paused and looked into my eyes for approval. I had no reason to refuse, so I granted him permission to continue. We went further, exploring each other's bodies, until we found ourselves on the river ba

he finally said and walked away not letting me speak. I was glad she had agreed to get a divorce but the next problem was how to get him to agree. For the past few days mom looked for a way to bring up the divorce bit got scared anytime she approached him. I guess she had come to fear him over the past years and had always avoided issues with him. She has never wanted something for him and she was scared that he might refuse to sign the papers. I had given her the idea of tricking him to sign the paper but she made me understand that his consent was still needed in the court. The day arrived when she let the cat of the bag,it rained that day indicating that something bad was about to happen. He sat down comfortably on the couch watching TV, that's when mom came and gave him the papers. "What's it now? What's these papers for?",he yelled. "Read it then you'll know or don't tell me you've forgotten how to read over these years",she replied harshly. Mom stood though leaned on the chair because of her pregnancy and kept calm ready for anything he might say. He looked at the papers,three it away and laughed,"You actually brought divorce papers. Do you think I would leave you easily?",he yelled. I picked it up for mom and handed it back to her. "And do you think I want to remain with you forever? I'm tired of this marriage that is actually a cage. Sign the divorce papers and let's go our separate ways.",mom yelled back. " And you think I would let you leave me with my child. You're free to take your sloth of a daughter but for my son in your womb he would stay with me. After his born you're free to go wherever you want",he replied. " What if it isn't a boy with would you still take it tell me? Wouldn't it belong to me then? End this marriage",mom said again. He got up angrily," How dare you call my son a girl? Hear me straight it's going to be a boy whether you like it or not",he said and slapped my mom. She lost her balance and fell down. I ran towards her and gently raised her up," You foolish man do you want to kill her and the child. It is clear that you hate us,sign the divorce papers and you won't have to see us again",I shouted at him. " You little slut who asked you to interfere. Stay out of this matter or you would regret it",he yelled. " What would you do? Drag me to the room,force yourself on me or beat me? I'm not

reason for her death", I replied plainly. He let out a chuckle,"Your joking right! You and your mom have come up with another scheme to fool me",he said. "Believe it or not you killed her and I'm not letting you live a second again",I replied with rage. " I guess you're serious. It's good she's gone,she wasn't going to give me a son anyways and that means you are all alone with me. This would be fun ",he said smirking as he slowly approached me. At that moment I brought out the knife I had and kept it at my side. I waited for him to get close enough and stabbed it at his chest right at the heart and dragged it out after leaving it in for a while. He looked at me shockingly holding that side and dropped down dead. I brought out a cloth and cleaned the knife and kept it back in my back I made sure to burn the cloth so that there would be no proof against me. I quickly picked up my suitcase which I had already pack,I took out all the money in the house including his. I wasn't sure where I was going but I was going
