My Wounded Heart

[05/25, 18:43] RoyalVelz: *My wounded heart.
*Written by RoyalVelz*
Looking back to where I came from I only give the praises to God.When I look at my past it wasn't
that good..I faced many difficulties,hurdles,stumbling blocks,wounds in my heart...but at the end I
found happiness... As they say there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.My heart was broken
into a million pieces but with those broken pieces I found strength to laugh,love and live.Though
they are scars left in my heart but the wounds have healed and I'm glad they did.
Let me tell you something very prominent ..Love is everything it's cracked up to be that's why
people are so cynical about it.Its really worth fighting for, being brave for, and most importantly
risking for.And the trouble is,if you don't risk everything,you risk even more.
This is my story!!!
Chapter1
Me:.." Guys its pointless to plan a blind date for me because its not going to work..the last time I
was on a date it was really messed up so forget it I'm not going out with anyone that to a
stranger.."
Natalie:.." Are you kidding me Jasmine Ncube ...@23 you're saying no to a date...ok just because
you're immune to dating doesn't mean we will stop hooking you up with someone ok...I mean look
what kind of a guy would turn a blind eye to a drop-dead gorgeous lady like.....slim waist,thick
butt,steaming hot boobs,I mean you're a slim version of Nicki Minaj,look at that curvy
smile,chocolate skin tone,midnight dark eyes,Angelina Jolie full lips,and not to forget that right
dimple and ohh yes your long shoulder length hair though its not natural... Come on who can say
no to that...you're fortune and a virgin...who can say no to that.. Ok look my friend my point is you
should just try one more time to go out with this Max the guy is really cool and I'm pretty sure you
will like him...and he will like you too..I understand the last time we hooked you up it turned out to
be a mess but this time I promise you will like the whole thing.."
Shannon:...." She got a point and I also have known Max for a long time he is a cool guy and just
the perfect guy for you...believe me and he is so rich "
Me:.." Ok..friends I got you...but Shannon I'm not after money I'm after love...just because I'm a
nanny at a Nursery and receive a lil to survive and stay in the high density of Mbizo 18... It doesn't
mean that I'm after money.. "
Shannon:... " I hear you friend but these days love is hard to find...its either the girl is after money
and the guy is after your body that's it.."
Me:.." But I'm not that kind of a girl.."
Natalie:.." Yahhhh with your calm,patient, loving personality you really need some love...I mean
sometimes I'm scared for you...you're so fragile Jasmine....I feel that you can easily be broken.."
Me:.." Well I'm stronger than you think..."
Shannon:.." Now enough of this can we do some makeover at your already beautiful face...now
we shall start mousse foundation to create a light chocolate coverage on your skin...and on the
eyes will have cranberry colour eye shadow on the eye lids...and ummmm on the cheekbone we
use a golden natural rouge...lastly apply balm on that cracked lips and a dark pink matte lipstick..
That way it would be perfect with you dark pink sheath dress ...and your power lunch blind date
will be a perfecto..!!!!"
Me:.."you know what friend you should have studied cosmetics rather than being an accountant...
Look Shanny I really appreciat your efforts to change my looks into someone more glamorous..
But I'm not going to a beauty pageant I'm going to a blind date for that matter...I don't want to
change my looks to such an extent that I won't be able to recognize myself..if the guy is really
interested then he will like me this way...natural look...I don't want him to be shocked when he
sees me without make up ok.."
Natalie:.. "She got a point Shannon.. You're just too much.."
Shannon:.. "I get you... But Natalie instead of being a PA you should have been Jasmine's
supporter you always support her.."
Me:.." Ok ok hold it...you don't want me to be late...let's do some touch ups ok.. "
My two friends helped me out and I wore my beautiful knee length dress which fit perfectly at the
rightful places.These girls have helped me a lot of times and I will always be grateful.
We have been friends for a year ....we met at an interview at this bank POSB..I had a degree in
Business Management and was hoping to get a job..unfortunately I didn't get a job...and they did
but we didn't stop talking though till we become friends...best friends..
I was disappointed about not getting the job because on a serious not I deserved it much more
thanmy two friends ..I deserved a higher post but then being someone kind hearted and the one
whose happy for others I celebrated their victory genuinely.
Since then they have always been my backbone... Even though literally I'm not in their league
...they supported me till I become a nanny at some local nursery...
However being the first born in the family of three my widowed mom was worried because she and
my 18 years old brother looked up to me.
I could not continue to ask mom for everything because it was high time she rests from her
tiresome work as a fully qualified maid at big boss house.
About my dating issues it was'nt that good..after breaking up with my first boyfriend Kudzai I felt
like every guy was like him...so I was immune to guys..
But my friends didn't give up though...they planned a numerous of blind dates for me which a lot of
them didn't turn out well.
Back to where I was...I finished dressing I looked absolutely stunning ....
Natalie:..." Wow Max is going to love this...believe me he will for for you at first glance.."
Shannon:.. "I'm sure he will if he is looking for love...."

Me:.." Ok now I think i need to go....and Natalie you will drop me right"
Natalie:.. " of'coz"
Shannon:.. " good luck with your date...km going to see my boyfriend "
Me:.." You mean your Blesser"
Shannon:.. "Yaah whatever.."
Natalie drove me to the place and I was nervous...and I went in.

The mysterious Max gave me the directions and I went to the table he had reserved for us..
Just laying my eyes on him....I was impressed ..the guy was good..I mean GOOD!!!!....

Chapter2
*Jasmine*
Well the guy was just perfect...and he was the kind of guy I always dreamt of....light in
complexion.. nice smile,dimples and all that but the question is was he ever going to like me and
was his character good.
When I reached at the table he was a gentleman he greeted me and gave me a cheek kiss ..pulled
out the chair for me ..what a gesture...
Max:.." Ummm you're looking beautiful Jasmine.."
Me:.." Thank you ...you're not bad yourself.. "
Awkward silence.
Max:.."while waiting for our order ..we can get to know each other....I'm Max Nyakudya 25 years
old....and I'm a manager at standard chattered Bank..obviously single"
Now that was making feel out of place... This guy was a manager and I was a nanny... That's so
something..
I was getting nervous maybe he didn't like me.. Maybe he wanted girls with make up and
manicured fingers...ohhh my God I was almost shaking.
I think he noticed.
Max:.." Relax ...I can see you're all tensed but everything is gonna be ok..this date will be one in a
million ok.."
I sighed.
Me:.." Well I'm Jasmine Ncube 23 years old and currently I'm working as a nanny at a local
nursery... Its temporary though ummm that's all"
He chuckled ...and I was confused did I say something funny or what..

I looked down waiting to hear his comment.
Max:.." Why are you looking down... I have known a lot about you way before we met...I mean
Natalie told me about you and I must say I'm really happy to finally meet you...I mean you're so
shy and its cute ..."
Before I answered our order came..and we started eating...

Usually I'm not a foodie so I just ate my normal potion and Max was the one doing the talking I
picked he must be very talkative but funny and free spirited too.
I was already imagining ...we could make a great pair...he was a talkative free spirited and funny
guy while I'm a quiet,shy,boring girl ...so it will be perfect.
After our meal we went out and he took me to his D4D ....
In his car we were silent .he was focused on the road while I was listening to "That's what I like" by
Bruno Mars which was playing in his car.
I thought of breaking the ice so I cleared my throat.
Me:.." You like Bruno Mars"
Max:.." Yahh he is quiet interesting and flexible too...ummm so you can talk .."
Me:.." Yea really of'coz but its just that I'm not used to you yet.."
Max:.." Well I may not be good at judging people but umm from what I saw and even your facial
expression shows that you talk yes but not that much...you're kind reserved..but I like it...its lady
like.."
Me:.." Umm thank you..and you're funny too and free spirited ...its great.."
Max:.." Umm thanks...ahhh which turn should I take.."
Me:.." Ohhh the left turn..you can drop there "
Max:.." Ummm ok but why can't I drop you home... You're mummy's girl"
Me:...(I laughed a lil bit)... Noo umm but I feel that if you drop me at home then my mom would
really want to know something about you ..of which im in the process of knowing you..."
Max:.." Yahh I get it... Sooo we are here "
Me:.." Ummm thanks for the ride and the date"
Max:.." I should thank you and I'm looking forward to another date ...if you don't mind.."
Me:.." I don't mind really "
He handed me his iPhone and I typed my numbers...
Max:.." Thanks ...will call you tonight.. "
Me:.." Ok bye "
He left and hooted ...

I went home.
I was impressed I mean the guy was cool and when he kissed my cheek it send some unusual
currency in me.
I was all smiles when I reached home and mum was already waiting for me..it was around 5
..didn't notice how time flies because I met up with Max around 1... Being funny as he is I lost track
of time.
And my young bro Jake obviously knew that this one of my dates.
Me:.." Evening mom"
Mom:.." How are you my girl..and where have you been"
Jake:.." On a date mom do you even have to ask."

Me:.." Yea I was on a date.."
Mum:." Will you friends ever give up...your Mr Right will just come to you on his own ..you don't
need to set up for some dates ....he will just come unexpectedly "
Me:.." Mom its ok I understand your concern but the one I met today is really great mom...I liked
him.. "
Just that moment I received a call and i knew it must be Max because it was a new number.
Me:.." Speaking of the angel and the angel calls...I have to take this mom please excuse me.."
I excused myself and answered Max's call..

He was so caring... It wasn't long since he left but now he was calling asking about my well being.
I expected the call to be short but I we talked for a long time Max cracking jokes and all that..
I didn't even eat dinner...I went to my room ...we had a six roomed house....
I opened my WhatsApp and my friends were already asking me about the date.
_WhatsApp messages_
Natalie:.." So how was it?"
Me:."it wasn't good.."
Natalie:.. " what ..but I thought Max was a great guy and you would like him"
Me:..." Lol..I'm not done yet..I mean the date was not good but it was the best...I like Max's
personality and the looks..everything is just great about him and we are both looking forward to
another Saturday date.."
Natalie:.. " phew ..you shocked me forma moment because here Max is telling me how much he
likes everything about you....how shy you're and how cute it is...and your natural looks...I must say
you were right when you said the guy should like your natural looks"
Shannon:.. " good 4 you!!"
Me:." What happened besty.."
Natalie:.." Yeah girl what's wrong.."
Shannon:.. " my boyfriend happened.. Well his wife came back and umm caught us together...so
we broke up .."
Me:.." I always told you...to date someone of your age Shannon... "
Shannon:.. "I'm looking for love like you...anyway..these days its hard to girls aren't really
single...dump a girl and within three hours she will be in a 5 months relationship.. That's the kind of
girl I am...and you have to accept me this way....anyway goodnight girls ...I have a new boyfriend
yo see mwaa.."
She went offline so did I...
But after chatting a lil bit with Max.
So that's the thing about Shannon her love life was a mess but she was great I didn't blame her
because she lived with a hooligan type of a mother...but at the end she was just great to befriend.
The following days were amazing.. It was during the holiday so I wasn't going to the nursery...and
Max being a manager would come at any time to see me.
We went to many dates and I was used to him.
By a month's time we were official...
Official couple.
He was a great guy to be around with....and always appreciated my worth.
When schools opened I had applied to be a temporary teacher at Rockford preschool..
And I was accepted at least this was paying better..Max offered to help financially but I denied his
offer...I wanted to take things at a slower pace and he understood.
We always had time for each other in subsequent weeks went out often on weekends for long
walks in parks.
Things were just amazing between us.
This other weekend Max had a hectic schedule so that meant we were not going out..i was so sad
however I decided to us that time to go to town and do some grocery shopping.
I took a long bath...after that I worea simple blue ripped skinnies and a white pear shaped blouse
and white pumps.
I tied my hair into a ponytail...grabbed my purse..kissed mom goodbye and set off.
I went straight to Ok....I had enough money to buy the necessities.
While I was pushing my trolley and picking some other stuff...someone bumped into me and
everything was on the ground...
I started picking up without even looking at who dropped them.
Him:.." I'm sorry...I wasn't paying attention. "
This was an English- French accent probably the guy is white.

I looked up and I was right he was white...with ice blonde hair...bluish-green eyes..and pink lips.
Ok this guy was super handsome...I'm not that kind of guy who drools over a guy...but the looks of
this guy are worth complimenting.
He had impressive muscles,chiselled jawline, and all that...
Him:.." Sorry ..."
Me:.." Ummm its ok..."
Him:..." anyway urisei hako"..
I almost laughed but I controlled myself...it was really funny to me...I mean this guy was so white
but he spoke fluent Shona.
Me:.."I'm ok and you"
Him:.." I'm ok hangu.."
After picking up my things I wanted to walk off but the white guy wanted to create a conversation
between us..
I wasn't really interested but I answered him though..
He went on to help me with my things and went to the till.
He took out his card to pay for my things.
Me:.." No no it's ok...thank you"
Him:.." Just let me ok..."

Me:.."no thank you.. "
Him:.." Let me ...I mean I should make up for bumping into you..."
Me:.."noo its ok"
Him:.." I insists "
He ended up paying for me.Not because I wanted him to but because he insisted and it was
making the situation kinda awkward because all eyes were on us.
He then helped me out with my things now he wanted to drive me home but I refused completely.
He asked for my numbers now this guy was nagging me.
I gave him my numbers just to get him off my back.
I the took a combined and went home.
Just as I arrived home I received a call without checking the caller ID however I heard that english-
french accent and I knew who it was...that white guy.
Him:.." Hi its ahhh Keith ..the guy you met today..the white guy..."
Me:.." Ohhh ok...its Jasmine here...I never thought you would call.."
Keith:.. " ummm I never thought you would answer ....anyway how are you.."
Me:.." I'm ok and you.."
Keith:.." I'm ok"
We talked and after that I prepared lunch for everyone and ate..
I called the love of my life And we talked for a long time.
Since I had nothing to do I decided to visit Natalie at Mbizo 4..
I decided to walk since I was saving every penny you see.
On my way I was chatting with Keith since Max was offline.
I didn't even realise it when I reached at Natalie's place ...luckily she was there and Shannon as
well.
Natalie:.. " ohhh what a pleasant surprise.. Now you remembered us.. Since you started dating
Max you forgot about us.."
Shannon:.. " yea yea really..."
Me;.. " no way how can I forget the most important people in my life .."
Shannon:.. " while you guys do a lil catch up...Jasmine can I have your phone for a sec..I want to
take a few snaps ..."
Me:..." Ok here you go..."

While I was talking to Natalie ...Shannon suddenly screamed like she saw a celebrity or something
...
Shannon:... " OMG!!!!!"
Me:.." Keep it down what's wrong with you.."
Shannon:.. " you're already seeing someone besides Max"
Natalie:.. " what on earth!!"
Me:.."what are you talking about"
Shannon:.. " I'm talking about this ...smoking hot white guy in your gallery.. "
Me:..." In my gallery"
Shannon:.. " yes here.."

He showed me Keith's pic..when he was wearing this charcoal grey suite which was perfect with
his ice blonde hair ...he was leaning on a ranger...
Me:.." Ohhhh you mean this guy.... I met him earlier today...he bumped into me...and maybe he
send his pic it auto downloaded .."
Natalie:.. " phew. ...I'm relieved for a moment I thought... "
Me:.." That I'm cheating.. You know I can never do that....Max means a lot to me.."
Natalie:.. " I'm glad he found a girl like you...the guy had been through a lot and with you I see a
bright future"
Shannon:.. " this hottie looks rich when you get to know him..please set him up with me.."
Me:.." I don't even wish to..you can take his numbers if you want to I don't care..."
We talked about a lot of things with my friends around 4 I decided to go back home.
My lover called and asked me where I was...I told him and he asked me to wait.
After some time he came and I was so happy..I had missed him..
I ran and hugged him...
Max:.." Looks like I was missed here.."

Me:.." Very much my love.."
Natalie:.. " you guys you're the best ....you have that Jay and Bey kinda love"
Max:.." Noo we don't have that Jay and Bet kinda love nor Kim and Kanye kinda love...we have
the Max and Jasmine kinda love.."
Shannon:.. " ok lovebirds move a lil bit closer I want to click a photo of the two of you.."
She did and the pic was great...I updated it as my profile and wrote ...him and I...
He drove me home ..and kissed me goodbye. ...Finally my day ended well ..despite having a
hectic schedule my boyfie managed to squeeze some time for us.
I cooked dinner for everyone,ate and went to my room..
I opened my WhatsApp there were no.messages from Max probably because he was busy..but
there three messages from Keith.
_WhatsApp messages_
Keith:.."pic"
"Hey"
"Nice display pic"
Me:.." Thank you.."
Keith:.." If you could share you pics I would be much happier"
Me:.." Thought you saw me earlier.."
Keith:.." Yes I did but it doesn't matter though.."
Me:.." I'm not photogenic so keep the comments go yourself after I send.."
Keith:.." You have my word"
I send two full pics..
Keith:.." Wow!!"
Me:.." I thought I said keep the comments to yourself.."

Keith:.." Sorry but I just couldn't contain it ....you beautiful really...that guy is very lucky.. "
Me:.." He is....umm I'm feeling sleepy its been a long day goodnight.."
Keith:.." Ok goodnight sleeping beauty"
Me:..""
Keith:.." "
Me:..""
Keith:.. ""
Me:.." Are we going to talk with emojis now"
Keith:.." Lol as long as you understand.. Goodnight "

I was so tired so I called my Max and slept thereafter.

Chapter3
*Jasmine*
I woke up a lil bit early the following morning.. It was a Sunday and the service would start at 8 so
it was necessary to be an early bird.
After doing my chores I bathed so as my whole family.
We went to the Roman Catholic and the mass/service was for four long hours because the priest
has delivered a long homily/holy word.
After the service I went straight home and on my way I was talking to my one a d only...
I didnt went online so he was bothering me as to why I didn't reply his good morning message...
After talking to him..
I opened my WhatsApp messages.
200messages from 10 chats..
5messages from Keith
2messages from Max
My God was this Keith guy ever going to give up.
I went offline and walked home as soon as I reached home Keith called.
Me:.." What is it now"
Keith:.." Ohh my God im sorry if I bothered you..I just wanted to check on you.. Sorry I'm hanging
up now.."
I felt bad..I mean he just called to check on me and I was just being so rude for no reason.
Me:.." No its ok...I'm sorry for being somehow rude lately...and thanks for checking up on me...how
are you..?"
Keith:..." I'm ok ...I hope you're fine did you have a bad day already.."
Me:.." No no I'm ok ..I'm fine... (Lying) I was just a lil bit off lately.. But I'm fine..."
Keith:.." Its a relief now that you're ok..anyway how was the holy matrimony today"
Me:.." So touching and educational... The priest preached the words that felt like were directed to
me.."
Keith:.." Ok by mentioning priest do you go to the Roman Catholic.. "

Me:.." Yes I do.."
Keith:.." Same here"
Me:.." Ohhh ok..."
Keith:.. " ok..um now I will hang up....gotta attend some business stuff bye.."
Me:.." Bye"
He hanged up and I started chatting with my friends of WhatsApp just after preparing lunch.
The day was well Max called almost after every hour....maybe he was a lil bit overprotective but I
liked it.
At the same time Keith send me messages and I replies one or two.
The following day I had to go to school a lil bit early... Some dorners or should I say a foreign
charity organization was visiting so it meant there was a lot to do.
They were going to donate some educational necessities so it was a great day for the preschool.
I bathed and wore a navy blue umbrella dress with white water prints, a white blazer and white
pumps.
I tied my hair into a high bun ..kissed mom goodbye and left for work.
When I arrived at school there was nothing much to do apart from some touch ups so as to
impress the charity workers.
Around 9:30 the foreign guys came and we were asked to wait at the hall for them.
The kids were well disciplined so we sat waiting for the guys.
When they came in I was so shocked when Keith was introduced as Mr Ford the founder and
owner of the Ford Charity Organization.
When he went on to the mic he was well dressed in a Chinese collared navy blue suit.
When he took the floor ....other female teachers married or not almost melted...yeah he is worth it
but I didn't have a damn about it because Max could be in his league when it comes to looks..
He first cleared his throat and gave his touching speech... I don't remember the whole speech but
this is some of what he said.
Keith:.." Good morning ladies and gentleman.. Boys and girls ...firstly I would like to thank the
almighty for giving me the chance to be standing right in front of you this wonderful morning...and
secondly I want to thank the school staff who warmly welcomed to this pre-school's premises.
Growing up was the hardest thing that I have ever experienced in my life...it was so hard that it
pushed me to such an extent that I dont Want any child to face the same problems that I have
faced in my life...
I'm not saying this so that you can sympathize with me and give me credit for donating here..but
km saying this so that each one of you van be encouraged to do something for this little beings
among us..
These kids need our guidance emotionally physically, mentally as well as financially..
I may not be able to lend a helping hand on other categories but where I can I will help that is why
the Ford Charity organization is going to donate $50 000 to this preschool...."
As I have said earlier I don't remember the whole speech but when he finished talking the whole
room was filled with applause.. He was just great on that...
After the assembly I took my class to their classroom....and started teaching up until someone
knocked and came in and it was Keith...
I must say he was shocked to see me there.
Me:.." Hey Mr Ford"
Keith:.." Ummm you're here Miss umm Jasmine..when I said my speech earlier you were there"
Me:.." Yes.. What a wonderful speech... It really touched a lot of people...umm kids greet your
elder.."
They all stood up.
Them:.." Good morning Mr Ford "
Keith:..." Good morning to you too and how are you ?
Them:.." Fine thanks and how are you.."
Keith:.." I'm ok you may sit down "
Them:.." Thank you"
They sat and he looked at me.
Keith;.." You taught them good manners huh..."
Me:.." Yahhh"
Keith's PA came I think they were about to leave ..but he said something to him and the PA left..
Me:.." I thought it was time for you to leave "
Keith:.." Yes it was but I'm here to stay..loool...

I have cancelled all my meetings..."
Me:.." But why?"
Keith:.." What's wrong in that..I just want to spend some time with the kids and their teacher...is
that a bad idea"
Me:.." Yes professionally its a bad idea..I mean you're well respected here and im just a temporary
teacher... And you just donated $50 000 to the school....you're young looking probably not married
yet..and you're with me right now ..don't you think it will raise questions "
Keith:.." Yea it will professionally but personally it won't right so I will take it that way... Personally
"
Me:.." But.."
Keith:.." No buts....please it will raise questions if you chase away the doner who wants to spend
time with the kids right...anywhere you said something about me being young looking... Do I look
so young"
Me:.." Yes you're young looking so?"
Keith:.." Can you guess how old I am"
Me:.." Around 27 I guess "
Keith:.." Hmmm so close...im 28 ..can I guess your age too..."
Me:.." Are you indirectly asking me how old I am.."
Keith:.. " I guess so...you must be 21 "
Me:.."+2"
Keith:.." Ohhh but you look younger.. You have baby face"
Me:.." I will take that as a compliment "

Keith:.." It is..."
Me:.." Thank you Mr Ford "
Keith:.." Its Keith.....I hate being called Mr Ford I feel like I'm 60"
Me:.." Lool ok....Keith.... Ummm maybe I should Kayz...that suites you since you don't wann feel
like you're 60"
Keith:.." Ummm Kayz...no one has ever called me that before but I think it will be interesting to be
called Kayz"
Me:.." So Kayz apart from being the Ford Charity founder what else do you do..."
Keith:.."ummm..I do a lot of things....I have other charity organizations in different countries ...UK
..England..France.... And I also have a Ford SACCOS here and in SA"
Me:.." What's that? "
Keith:.." Ford Savings And Credit Cooperation.... We give loans and all that whole other stuff"
Me:.." Ohhh you have done a lot at a young age.."
Keith:.. " well the credit is not only mine....I first took over the family business when I was 25 Ford
Investment Holdings...I had to learn a lot when I finally learnt I decided to start my own
thing...that's when I went for Charity...and the SACCOS.... I never thought I would come this far
but I did eventually.... My family was always there for me so 80% of the credit is for them..."
Me:.." Wow that's really great.."
Keith:.." What about you what else do you do ...apart from being a teacher "
Me:.." This is my only job...but I have a degree in business management... However I'm really
enjoying it...spending the whole day with the kids...rather than going though a lot of paper work in
a boring 5th floor office.. "
Keith:.. " ohhh so you're attached to kids.."
Me:." Yes at first it was hard for me...because I wanted something better you know...something
which brings in a lot...but when I became a nanny I realised that maybe being with the kids is
where I rightfully belong you know.."
Keith:.." Wow amazing.

.so let's say you're offered a job right now which pays better more than this you won't take it.."
Me:." To be honest its so tempting that I may want to take it...but when I look at this kids...I feel
like I have everything that I desire to have you know.."
Before he replied Max called and I was happy that I didn't think twice to take it..
Me:.." I have to take this ..please excuse me"
I excused myself and talked to Max for about 15 mins...

I went back.
Keith:.." Mr Knight in the shining armor "
Me:.."yeah I guess.."
Keith:.." How do you deal with the commitment issues how do you do it you guys....I mean I don't
even know how to fall in love with someone"
Me:.." To fall in love is easy,even to remain in it is not so difficult, our human loneliness is cause
enough.But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one
becomes the person he or she desires to be..so I'm saying as long as you don't have your
comrade in love then ..you will be afraid of commitment... Wait until you find your own comrade
you will see that love is everything"
Keith:.. " wow...I'm speechless....where do you get all that from..you know what you should have
become a motivational speaker ....you're good at words...I give speeches like five times a day but
I'm nothing compared to you..how do you do it"
Me:.."I speak from the heart..."
Keith:.. " I will try that ..."
We spoke a lot that day mainly about business ...Keith was a great guy after all...I mean a great
guy to talk to..
When I was done with work he offered to drop me home but I refused since Max was going to drop
me home.

*Jasmine*
The day was hectic but I had spend it with wonderful people though.The love if my life dropped me
home and it was high time I had to introduce him to my small family. And I did just that.
I was now friends with Mr Ford or I mean Keith or Kayz whichever way you may take it.But he will
be Kayz to me.
During supper I was chatting with Keith/Kayz I barely ate ...he was a quick reply so I just played
with my food until mom complained.
Mom:.." You should eat....that food costs .."
I didn't even heard her..

Mom:.." Are you listening to me!!"
Me:.." Ohh did you say something.. "
Mom:.." I said eat ..tell that Max guy that you're at a dinning table and you should have some table
manners.."
Me:." Ahh come on mom this is the reason why I didn't want to introduce you to Max...if I do
anything wrong then its Max's fault"
Jake:.."then whose fault is it.."
Me:.." Shut up I'm talking to mom..."
Jake:.." Ohhh I get it...its the white guy's fault.."
Me:.." Whaaaat Jay have you been going through my phone..."
Jake:.." Lol does it look like I was... I just went through your gallery.. One or two times"
Me:.." What mooom....Jay do you know something about privacy"
Jake:.." Of'coz I do...I should be the one asking you that ...have you ever heard of something like
pattern,password and pincode"
Mom:.." Ok ok enough of you two..now can you tell us about this white guy in the picture who is
he...so.e other guy you're seeing.. Don't tell me you're cheating on Max because he is a nice guy"
Me:.." No mom...actually Keith is just a new friend...we met on Saturday and it happened that he is
the founder and owner of the charity organization that is donating some stuff at the preschool"
Jake:.." Ohhh he must be filthy rich"
Me:.." Max is no less... But I don't care about the riches anyway.. "
Jake:.." Its obvious ...after all its you holy Jasmine.."
Me:.." Thank you"

Jake:.." Always welcome....sister "
Me:.." Whatever... If you're done eating wash the dishes"
Jake:.." Its not fair mom....I can't wash the dishes I'm a guy.."
Mom:.." So?"
Jake:.."guys don't wash the dishes "
Mom:.." Not here young man...get to business and study afterwards"
Me:.." Ahhhh mom I forgot to tell you....Aunt Theresa called... "
Mom:.. "Ohh my ...how is she"
Me:.." She is ok...she said she will call tomorrow morning because she is on a night shift today.."
Mom:.." Ohhh I guess being a doctor is killing her.."
Me:.." But she is happy with her profession..anyway goodnight family I have a long day tomorrow
with the kids"
Mom:.." Ok goodnight "
Aunt Theresa has been so helpful after my father's death.

I mean relatives from both sides have been so helpful... They didn't turn their backs on us after my
father's death. It is from the help of the relatives that I managed to attend my university at UZ and
now Jake is doing his A level but I'm the one supporting him.However most of the times my
relatives and especially aunt Theresa always help whenever it is necessary.
Anyway I went to sleep a lil bit early.
The following morning I was awakened by my irritating phone ringing tone.
I was so sleepy I didn't even check the caller ID.
Me:..."(yawning)... Hello"
Keith:.." An early bird catches the fattest worm...wake up its time to rise and shine"
Me:.." What if I don't want the fattest worm... Mr Ford its 6:15am and you had to wake me up
really..."
Keith:..." Well I guess you don't want to keep the honorable Mr Ford waiting "
I had another incoming call.
Me:.." Umm I'm having a call Mr Ford I gotta take it "
Keith:.." Pass my greetings to him "
Me:.." Ok"
I hanged up his call and answered Max's call.
Max:.." Morning lovey dovey what took you so long to answer"
Me:.." Morning bae...ohhh I was talking to this new friend of mine"
Max:.." Which new friend I don't know about"
Me:.." Ohh somebody is getting curious....well its just some white guy who I recently met and who
happened to be our school's donor...."
Max:.." Ohhh I see.....I hope nothing silly happens between the two of you..."
Me:.." Babe you know me and you know I can never do something silly ..you're the only one..and
he is just a friend after all..."
Max:.." Ok cool...I wanted to tell you that I won't be able to drop you home today "
Me:.." Ok no problem "
He hanged up and quickly bathed wore a simple black pencil skirt with sky blue off shoulder top
and black wedges.
I went to the preschool.. Luckily it was a half day for the school..
Around 1 Keith came and we went to some local restaurant.
Me:.." So I noticed Kayz from the first day you spoke to me that you must be either English or
French am I right on that.."
Keith:.." Yahh to some extent..you're... I grew up in Louisville in London...but then when I was 7 I
moved to France.."
When he said France he had a sad look.

Me:.." Ummm sorry for being bore...I realised maybe you don't wanna talk about it...I was just
curious "
Keith:.." Noo its ok.."
Me:.." Ok...when you gave your speech yesterday you said something like..."you don't want the
kids to face the same situation you was once in"...I was just curious what kind of situation would
that be I mean look at you...you can't be someone who was once in a "situation"..."
Keith:.."(chuckles)... Curiosity killed the cat...anyway you remember yesterday I told you about
how NY family supported me to be where I am now...
Actually I grew up in London.... With both parents and a twin sister Kelly..our parents always had
fights here and there...till this other day they fought while in a car so we had a road accident...
They both died on spot but Kelly and me we survived ..we were the taken to a foster home....at
first it cool the parents loved us but the moment they had their own child they hated us and that's
when they took us to France and dumped us at an orphanage in Roubaix in Northern France ...the
conditions there were not pleasing at all compared to the life we had in Louisville... We had bad
times there..and some good times there...when we were 12 Mr and Mrs Ford adopted us and kept
us like their own...and last year but one we came here in mom's hometown that's when I had an
idea to start another charity organization here..."
Me:.." Ohhh so you're not a Ford "
Keith:.." Yahhh I'm Keith Tyrell Schmid..... And my sister is Kelly Tylor Schmid.. "
Me:..." Ohhh ok Mr Schmid but its hard to pronounce though.."
Keith:.." You're lucky I haven't told anyone about this before everyone knows that I'm a Ford.."
Me:.." Its ok your secret is safe with me..anywhere you had good times in France tell me about.. I
love listening to stories "
Keith:.." Really and I love telling stories...ummm me and my sis we have been pranksters ...I
remember one this occasion on our birthday..we were bored so we went out and started selling
homemade lemonade seasoned with pepper ...
We made the lemonade very well but instead of using sugar we put salt and pepper and sold it to
people on our neighbourhood.... They would give us quite a bit of money and we'd make them try
it and it was horrible.."
We laughed and I realized that it was one of those sweet moments during his childhood that he
held on to...
Me:.." You're really something you guys...lool"
Keith:.." We went through four Sunday school teachers and five priests its not that we were bad
but we were just a handful....but Kelly is so much more than me..
I remember quite well this other day we were getting the bus back from school and the driver
wouldn't let us get off at our stop..Kelly had read somewhere about kidnapping so she literally
thought she was being kidnapped...
So she asked everyone to jump off the bus right after her....we thought she was joking but all of a
sudden she justs lifts up the emergency exit and leaps out...It was illegal to do that so she had to
be suspended but instead she lied saying that she was having an anxiety attack.. (laughs)... I
mean come on....who on earth would do that if they are having an anxiety attack..they were easily
fooled by her and they even ended up giving her a week off homework... Can you imagine.. "
We laughed a lil bit..
Me:.." I really need to see this Kelly I mean what kind of a girl is she..."
He took out his phone and showed me her pic.
Me:..." Ohhh my God you guys are like peas in a pod ...you look the same.. She is your woman
version "
Keith:..."loool yahhh I know"...
Me:.." Ok Keith on a serious note.... You had so much fun during your childhood...I also lost my
father..but then I'm happy... You should not hold on to bitter memories.. I understand growing up
at an orphanage its not cool....but you found a family ..you should be happy and forget all the
pain...ok"
Keith:.." Like I have said you should have been a motivational speaker....you have a point now I
will work on moving on from my bitter childhood memories and focus on the good ones"
Me:.." Thats the spirit....anyway I have to go home now..my mom knows its a half so she is
expecting me to come early you see.."
Keith:.." Mummy's lil girl"

Me:.." Lol yahhh something like that "
Keith:.." Ok will drop you home before mummy freaked out..."
Me:.."I would really appreciate that "
He drove me home...but not home exactly.. He dropped me from afar saying he was afraid of my
mummy...so I just showed him my house from afar
And I was gald that he didn't want to reach home exactly you know the people in the hood will take
it differently...
They would just say this widow's daughter is exchanging man and I would not like it that way.
The rest if the day was for me and my mom....we had a lot to talk about...its a mom-daughter thing
you wouldn't understand.
Mom:.." So Jasmine do you have any plans for your future.. "
Me:.. " meaning? "
Mom:.." I mean you're not planning to live the rest of your life under my roof and you're not
planning to live the rest of your life as a temporary preschool teacher... I'm not saying its a bad
profession but with your knowledge you deserve better"
Me:.." I know you're worried about me....but I'm worried about you just the same...I mean if I leave
you here with Jake who will take care if you...yes we have supportive relatives but they have
families of their own to take care of..and as for my profession mom...I will apply for a job during the
holidays ok.....anyway save this lecture when I turn 25 right now let's talk about something else.."
We talked about silly things laughing and all...my mom was more like my best friend...
Anyway we ate our dinner ...but I was sad coz Max didn't call...but he did during the midnight...
On the other hand Keith kept me occupied telling me his silly childhood pranks and all that...he
was qiuet friendly and in him I had found a very good friend not forgetting my other two friends...
How I wished things would just remain the same...
End of chapter5
Chapter6
*Jasmine*
The following morning I did my usual routine and went to work.. This time Max took me from
home..
When we reched to the parking lot Keith suddenly arrived... Thank God I would introduce these
two guys so as to avoid misunderstandings especially from Max's side...you know how man are
sometimes.
When Keith saw me he came over...
Keith:.." Hey Miss Jasmine"...
Me:.."Kayz how are you...ummm I want to.introduce you to someone "
Keith:.. " your comrade.."
Me:.." Yea....Keith this is the love of my life Max...and the comrade in love...and Max this is Keith
my new good friend whom I met recently.. "
Keith:.." Nice to meet you Max.."
Max:.." Same applies Keith..."
Keith:.." You got a good girl.. She is a fortune.."
Max:.." Thank you...as long as you don't eye her.."
Keith:..." Lool don't worry commitments aren't my thing.."

Max:.." Look I get it Keith...ummm babe will see yaa later..."
Keith:.." Ok I will be in the class you guys talk ok.."
He left and we had a staring moment.
Me:.." Whaaat???"
Max:.." I'm a guy I know its weird to say this but honestly that guy is handsome...hot and
sexy...how do you resist all that"
Me:.." Because I see you only...my eyes are only for you ..ok no need to feel insecure..ok"
Max:.." I know and i trusts you"
We kissed goodbye and he left whilst I went to the class to find Keith already talking to the
kids....the thing with him and kids though.
Keith:.." Ok kids....write two sentences about what we discussed earlier ok....."
Me:.." Mr teacher..."
Keith:.." How many names do you give me really...Mr Ford...Mr teacher....Keith...Kayz..."
Me:.." There are two......Mr close friend...Kayz.."
Keith:.. " ok I get it..anyway did you kiss goodbye.."
Me:.." Lol....Keith why you even asking you know its obvious... "
Keith:.."the things you have to do when you're in love though..."
Me:.." Yahhh you have to do a lot to impress your girl.."
Keith:.." Yahh I have heard from somewhere that..if there hadn't been women, we'd still be
squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our
girlfriends.."
Me:.." So you're not civilized ...you should find yourself a girl.."

Keith:.." Talking about girls...did you give a girl named Shannon my number "
Me:.." Lol...ohhhh she took your number in my phone I mean she was crazy over you..."
Keith:.." She is a gold digger"
Me:.." I'm sorry I can't answer that she is my friend.."
Keith:.. "Well its ok...but im not interested .."
Me:.." Tell her or she won't stop bothering you.."
Keith:.." Well I did..."
Me:.." You did seriously..."
Keith:.."yes...why not...if I'm not interested then I'm not.."
Me:.." Ok...you're straightforward "

Keith:..."ok now let's get to business and teach the kids ...don't worry I talked to the headmistress
ok..."
Me:.."ok .."
We had a long day but it was interesting though.After school he dropped me home..."
Days passed and our friendship with Keith was stronger we were best friends now.Same as my
relationship with Max was also very strong.
Not to forget my two friends.. Shannon was kinda angry because Keith blocked her and she
thought it was my fault but I explained to her that Keith wasn't really into commitments that is if she
needed one but they were not different anyway.
This other weekend I was with Keith..Max had gone to some business trip in SA...so I had my
friend...
Keith:.." Kelly is home do you wanna see her..."
Me:.." Yeey..of coz I want to ....I want to see the girl who jumps off a moving bus and claims it was
anxiety attack.."
Keith:..."lol ok let's go....you haven't been at my place anyway"
We drove and reached at this amazing double storey mansion.

When I entered there was this coloured old man and a black woman...probably that's his parents.
Chapter6continuation
And there was Kelly ...Keith female version...the same ice blond hair ...bluish-green eyes and that
flashy smile..
Me:.." How are you Mr and Mrs Ford...Hy Kelly."
Mr Ford:.."we are good how is you.."
Mrs Ford:.. " Hy daughter please sit down "
Me:.. "Thank you"
Kelly:.. "Hy you must be my sister in law what can I get you....water juice....wine...alcohol... Ohh
yes I should bring water first right..."
She went out and I couldn't reply her to clear the misconception that I was only her brothers
friend.Anyway they were maids all over the place but she brought me water...
Then Keith made the introduction Mrs Ford and Kelly were a lil disappointed I guess they thought I
was her girlfriend but however I couldn't read Mr Ford facial expression.
Mrs Ford and Kelly invited me to the kitchen because they wanted to prepare a late lunch on their
own which includes me..
Naturally im just a shy person..so around new people I feel you know...
So I was feeling shy in the kitchen...
Mrs Ford:.. " ohhh my God Kelly look how shy she is...ohhh my its so cute"
Kelly:... "Shy girls are sweet..mom"

Me:.." Well I'm going to melt if you keep on passing complements.. "
Mrs Ford:.. " so tell us how did you meet Keith"
Me:.. " should I say it was an accident or coincidence I really don't know ..but I was shopping and
Keith bumped into me and the goods were all over the place...so we started picking up and he
helped me to the till and insisted to pay....but then when he insisted to drop me home I refused...
He then asked for my number I gave it to him just to get him off my back...we started chatting...
And then maybe by coincidence it happened that Keith was a donor at our preschool... So that's
how we become friends... "
Kelly:.. " wow what a story...so are you single"
Me:.." I have a boyfriend ...and Keith knows him..."
Mrs Ford:.. " mxm I'm so disappointed for a moment I thought Keith was just joking when he said
you're his best friend.... How I wished you were the one for my Keith..I mean my son is afraid of
committing himself to someone ....anyway the fact that you're his friend is enough for us you're just
a nice person to be around with.."
Me:.." Thank you"
Kelly:.. " but tell me what did you see in your boyfriend which you did not see in my brother.."
Me:.." Well they are not so different but its just that I love my boyfriend and I like Keith.."
Kelly;... " ohhhh ok...how did you meet your boyfriend "
Me:.. " on a blind date "
Kelly:.. " ohhh how lame ....you know your meeting with my brother was more romantic.... You
know "
Mrs Ford:.. "Don't listen to her she is melodramatic"
These guys were just crazy and fun too..

We finished cooking lunch and feasted over beef stake and pepper seasoned rice..
Mr Ford was a reserved someone whilst the rest of the family were just wild and crazy.
After our lunch I had to go home..
Mrs Ford:.. " please make sure to visit once again ok..."
Me:.." Ok I will visit Mrs Ford "
Mrs Ford:.. " call me mom or Patience..ok"
Me:.." Ok mom"
Kelly;.. " you know what you will always be my sister in law... Ok "
Me;..." Lol you're crazy..."
Keith took me home and on our way we had a light conversation.

When he reached home he hugged me good bye and left.
I called Max and we talked over silly things how much he missed me and all other stuff.
The following day Keith gave me a surprise visit...I was at home relaxing .with family suddenly
someone knocked and said "I'm home".... Because I know Keith's accent I ran to the door to find
him standing holding some take always and piazza...
I introduced him to mom she knew that he was my friend...
We ate his takeaways and mom went out to some mother's club and it was just the three of us.
Jake and Keith started playing FIFA while I was video chatting with Max...
I really don't know how he saw Keith...
Its not like k wanted to hide it from him anyway.
Max:.." Is that Keith "
Me;.." Yes its him...he gave me a surprise visit.."
Max:.." Ohhh that's cool"
Me:.." Are you ok with that "

Max:.."he is your friend so I don't have a problem.. "
Me:.." Ok"
We talked over things.Though Max wanted to pretend like it was ok for Keith to visit he was not ok
with it I could see right through him.
Anyway it was only a week left till he comes back so he was gonna bare with it.He was jealous but
too proud to show it.
Well the our day was well spend ....and when Keith was about to go ...he had some idea..
Keith:.."well I don't know how you may take it but what do you think about this ...we take a week
off from work then go to Paris...what do you think.."
Me:.." What Paris is too far....I don't even know Victoria falls here in Zimbabwe then I would go to
Paris.. "
Keith:..." Ok then so we will go to Vic falls..its decided we will take a week off..."
Me:.." The two of us.."
Keith:.." Noo I'm coming with Kelly and you may take Jake..."
Me:.." I will have to talk to mom"

Keith:.. " ok we will do it together.. "
That was decided WD convinced mom though it was a tough task especially on Jake's part but at
the end she agreed.
I didn't want her to be all alone while we were gone so she was going to sleep at her mom's place
our grany.
After that we started packing and another surprise visit Natalie and Shannon came and were
shocked to see me packing.
Shannon:.. " now are you planning to leave the country without telling us"
Me:.." No no girls obviously I was going to tell you.."
Natalie:.. " where are you going "
Me:.." Keith is taking me to Vic falls "
Shannon:.." I knew it that there was something between you guys.."
Me:.." No its not what you think actually Jake and his sister are going too....you have to trust me
Max is in my heart and is irreplaceable ..."
Natalie:.. " I believe in you have fun.. But inform Max too"
We talked over silly matters I had so much fun and was too excited about the following day that I
totally forgot about calling Max.
The next day Keith and Kelly came and we went to the airport.. It was my first time to fly so I was
scared that when the plane was taking off and when it landed I closed my eyes and held on tightly
to Keith.
We booked in the N1 hotel.
There was a lot of stuff to do ...sunrise and sunset boat cruising, tendered zip line and elephant
riding....you know the whole lot of luxurious stuff..
We took some pics together.
End of chapter6
Chapter7
*Jasmine*
We really enjoyed at Vic falls.... I spend most of my time with Keith because Kelly and Jake always
went for elephant rides.
It was really memorable to be there...unfortunately because of too much excitement I forgot to tell
Max that I had gone to Vic falls.
I remembered it when I was in the plane going back.
Me:.." Ohhh my God Keith I forgot to tell Max I was with you in Vic falls... Ohhh my let's hope he
doesn't freak out..."
Keith:.." Lol..no way he won't freak out...we are friends there is no big deal unless your guy is a
jealous freak..."
Me:.." Let's hope he doesn't.. "
We landed and Keith dropped me home..only to be surprised to see Max's car parked outside...It
was a Saturday so obviously he didn't go to work.
I was so nervous...but Keith reassured me.
We went inside and Max was in there looking so mad but then he controlled himself.
Keith greeted mom and after a lil chat he said goodbye...gave me a hug and left.
Both Jake and I had a jet lag and wanted to sleep right away but then I had to attend to Max
first...After seeking permission from my mom he took me out...and drove me straight to his office
and in silence.
We went in and he closed the door ..he was fuming with anger and I was dying in fear... I have
never saw him so angry.So I kept quiet so that he can calm down and we can talk.
Max:.." Don't you think you should apologize and tell me what the hell ....f**k....i need an
explanation right now...."
He was yelling.Of which I'm a soft natured someone... So I was already in tears.
Me:.." Look Max I forgot to tell you that I was going to Vic falls with Keith....but it was not just the
two of us ....we were four...I'm sorry I was over excited that I forgot to call..."
Max:.." Really... So now everything is about Keith... Keith took me to Vic falls... Don't worry Keith
will take me out for lunch...Keith will drop me home....Keith is helping me with kids...Keith this
Keith that...every time I'm with you its all about Keith... 80% of our conversation is about Keith....
Hey I'm sorry for taking long to answer your phone actually I was talking to Keith....if I fail to do
something then Keith will do it...if you badly wanted to Vic falls you should have told me but no you
wanted to go with Keith...when I'm not with you then you're with Keith....make up your mind
Jasmine ....who do you want Keith or me... I know you're so called friends but sometimes I feel like
this Keith is way into you than me...you have to choose me or Keith...
Moreover you didn't tell me you were going one phone call could have changed everything for you
huh....you thought that if I call that guy he will say no to me and Keith...and I had to be
embarrassed in front of my family when I came with my aunt from SA so that she can meet you
but you were not there you were with you Keith....while I looked stupid in front of my family.."
Me:.."look Max ...Keith has nothing to do with this.. If there is anyone to blame then its me...Keith
just took me there and I forgot to call you...its my fault why are you dragging Keith into this.. "
Max:.." Keith Keith Keith I'm sick of tired of him...you're even defending him.."
Me:.." Calm down Max please ....Keith is just a friend nothing more and he respects me just the
same..there is no reason for you to overreact...I was wrong I.forgot to inform you...
Ok I promise that whenever I'm with you then I won't mention the name Keith..you know I love only
you Max and you should know that...Keith is just part of my life ..but you're my life Max....I promise
I won't make the same mistake ever again....and If I can to anything to make it up for you then tell
me.But please don't ask me to stop being friends with Keith because you I can't do that ..he is just
a good friend...look right into my eyes you know I'm telling the truth there is absolutely nothing I
feel for Keith apart from genuine friendship.. "
Max:.." Ok I hear you..but you have to meet my family today..I have talked to mom and she gave
me the permission.. "
Me:.." Ok let's go then.."
Though I was having a jet lag...I agreed to him...and our issues were resolved. Well some of the
things Max said he was exaggerating but anyway he was angry and I understand I was wrong on
my part.
We reached at Max's house and it was great too but not more than Keith's... Ok I should stop
comparing.
I was welcomed by his parents,aunt and two sisters.
Well they were like disgusted by me...I was looking good though but then their class and mine
...don't even mix.
Everything was cool we talked up until they asked me my job and I told them ....well they said a
lot.
Max's mom:.." Makoty you should find a better job because seriously you don't match up to my
son's standards.. I'm not looking down upon you but Im being honest... Find something else better
to do.."
Me:.." Its ok maa I was planning to go on an interview this upcoming holiday...I have qualifications
but its just that I wasn't lucky.."
Unfortunately Keith called of which I was holding my phone.. Max just gave me that look so I
hanged up and turned the phone off.
After this meeting thing Max dropped me home.. I was going to avoid Keith as much as possible if
that is what makes Max happy.
So I called him.
Keith:..." Why did you hang up earlier you know how worried I was.."
Me:.." Keith I have something to tell you...please let's just stop frequently seeing and calling each
other...my relationship with Max is on the rocks because of our relationship.. I understand we are
just friends but then Max is doubting now and I wouldn't want that to happen you know how much
he means to me"
Keith:..." Ummm well I really don't want to be a problem in your relationship with the love of your
life...so i understand you ...I will keep my distance but you will still be my friend so bye...fix up your
relationship with Max ok don't let it go he is a good guy"
He didn't even wait for me to reply he hanged up. I know I have hurt him but the problem with
Keith is he doesn't say what he feels...even if you hurt him unintentionally he won't say a
thing.Max was giving me a hard time ...it would look like I only wanted to go to Vic falls and after
that I don't wanna talk to him...which was not the case.
Days passed and it was like three weeks Keith never called.
Max was always busy and I gave him my time but I was lonely too..I was missing my friend.
This other Friday Kelly called and told me that they had a mini slumber party so I was invited..I
found this as a perfect opportunity to make up with my friend...
Again I didn't inform Max because he was never going to agree to it.
I asked mom for the permission and she gave me however I lied to her saying that I had informed
Max.
When I reached at Keith's place....there was Kelly And his other five friends it was 6pm...
The first I did was to ask about Keith.... He was in his room so I went upstairs... To find him on his
bed sleeping.
I ran up to him and screamed at him to wake him up.
Me:.." Keithhhhh!!!!!"
Keith:..."heyyyyy my bestie is here...long time.."
He was so happy to see me....we hugged for a long time.
Me:.." I'm sorry I shut you out....I have been bad lately..."
Keith:..." Its ok I understand... Is everything ok now..."
Me:.." Yes but I didn't tell him that I'm here or else I couldn't have come here.. "
Keith:.." Ok...but let's hope thatwon't create a problem.. "
Me:.." Noo"
We went downstairs to join the rest of the guys.It was fun we played different games...
These guys were so welcoming they then offered welcoming shots vodka.....I refused because I
don't drink...
However Keith drank ...after a lot of shots he was a lil bit drunk...one of their friends then gave me
some juice which was not welcoming in my body....
Later on I was seeing double double I don't know if that's what they call drunkness...
I don't really recall what happened.. But I remember very well I was with Keith in his room..he was
all over me and I was begging him to stop whatever he was doing but then he wasn't in the state
to listen to me.
This was just a horrible experience for me.
The following morning I woke up in the same bed with Keith and naked and the first thing was to
scream at Keith who was sleeping peacefully..
My body was sore everywhere even down there...
Me:.." Keith wake up.....Keithhhhhhh!!"
Keith:..." What ..ahhhhh you!!!!!"
Me:.." I asked you to stop yesterday but now you ....you never listened Keith.....now I lost the most
important thing of my life Keith .....you raped me yesterday...."
Keith:..." I....I...."
Me:.." Don't say anything ...I asked you to stop ...you knew what you were doing ....but the you
kept groaning on top of me..why Keith I thought you were my best friend....now what will happen to
me...what will tell Max or my family.... How could you..."
Keith:.. " I'm sorry Jasmine I was not myself...."

Me:.." Do you think sorry is gonna fix this...you just raped me Keith..."
Wait a minute did he even use protection. I checked for a condom but I didn't even see any.....My
whole world scrumbled...
Me:.." Keith you didn't even use protection my God Keith.. Why.....why....what if you're sick....what
if I become pregnant.... Keith why...."
Keith:... "I'm not sick or anything... I'm sorry I just lost control and the alcohol was in me..."
Me:.." Sorry isnt going to give me my virginity back....you ruined everything for us....its my fault I
came here hoping to make things right between us...but i was digging my own grave....I didn't
even told Max...ohhh my gosh what have I done...you wounded me Keith both physically and
emotionally..... I hate you Keith..."
I got out from the bed and there was blood on the sheets..
So I just lost my virginity to my friend through rape....

Chapter8
*Jasmine*
At this moment I didn't care about anything ..I just walked into Keith's bathroom and took a hot
shower crying and cursing myself for ever meeting him....
After the horrible bath I wore my clothes and Keith wasn't in the room..
I was so sore down there but I used all my strength to go downstairs ...Keith was with Kelly I bet
he already told her what happened.She came to me with tears in her eyes..
Kelly:.." About what happened I'm so.."
Me:.." Don't say anything I just wanna go home.. "
Keith:.." I will drop you.."
Me:.." Excuse me ...why would you even do that...you have done a lot for me Keith...and thank
you for finally ruining my life.."
I stormed out ...I.was so mad that I forgot about the pain I had..
I took a cab and went straight home...and I forgot my phone at Keith's place..
When I reached home mom wasn't there so I just went straight to sleep...
I didn't sleep though I was crying the whole time.... How could Keith do that....even though he was
under the influence of alcohol ..he knew what he was doing.
What would happen to me..
What if...
Shitt I didn't even wanna think about it.
Mom came back and found me sleeping in my room..
Mom:.." What's wrong with you..?"
Me:.. " nothing maa just thinking about my life..."
Mom:.." Ok take your time"
I couldn't tell my mom the truth..she would be shattered more than me....but however she was
going to know someday..
I refused to eat anything and I spent the whole day in bed...I even locked myself up.
Two weeks later I was feeling so sick...sweating...shivering... So I decided to go to a hospital to

get tested.
The nurse took my blood samples....and after a while the doctor came with the results.
Doctor:.. " you don't have any STI...or HIV but you're two weeks pregnant congratulations "
Me:.." What?""
Doctor:.. " aren't you happy.."
Me:.." Happy ...me...I'm wounded....please excuse me"
I walked out of the doctor's office without even taking the prescription.
Why was God punishing me in this manner first it was being rapped by my best friend and now I'm
pregnant..
As a matter of fact I never told anyone about the rape case...I don't know maybe I was too kind
hearted or stupid..
The other part of me felt for Keith...I mean he would not be able to handle the conditions in jail and
the embarrassment he would face...I would not be able to bear that...but then I was the one paying
the price at the end of the day..
I never saw Max for the past two weeks we talked through Jake's phone...and I lied that I lost my
phone...I never told him anything... Though my heart was bleeding I was already in the process of
thinking better ways to end our relationship without hurting him..
I could not tell him the the truth he would die..
Whenever he wanted us to meet I turned him down in the pretense of being sick or too busy.
Anyway I thought of the best option to meet the girls maybe they had good ideas about my
problem.
I reached at their working place luck it was break..
We sat on an isolated place.
Shannon:.. " hey girl ..you look so different... Are you pregnant by any chance...I mean you look so
pregnant "
One thing I hate or like about Shannon is that she sees right through me.She is an idiot but I know
she is a good friend..just one glance she can tell when anything is wrong...She speaks whatever
she feels at that moment.
Then there is Natalie she is a lil bit quiet...but loving too.
Natalie:.. " stop pulling her leg....what's wrong Jasmine you look so hurt and stressed.. "
I started crying..how would I deliver the news...they entrusted me with Max...

Max have been hurt with different girls and they believed that I was going to love him forever.
And Shannon had this silly crush on Keith.
Shannon:.. " baby you're pregnant right...don't worry Max will marry you..he won't hesitate.. And
he will be happy to know this let me call him.."
Me:.." Noo don't... "
Natalie:.. " why not.. "
Me:.." Because its...."
Shannon:.. " its not Max's baby..."
Me:.." Y....yes "

Them:.." Whaaaat!!!!"
I nodded in tears.
Me:.." I can explain.. "
Natalie:.. " who is the father tell me...."
Me:.." It's...umm...ahhhh"
Shannon:.. " Keith who else...they are the two men in your life is its obvious... "
Natalie:.. " is it true.."
Me:.." Listen Keith forced himself on me....believe me and I wasn't in the state to defend myself.."
Shannon:.. " I believe you friend...don't worry we gonna help you through this..."
Natalie:... " Shannon you need to stop taking everything as a joke....are you even taking
everything seriously here...what will Max feel...and you Jasmine I want to know how that
happened "
Shannon:.. " ohh come on you're the one who need to stop taking things seriously... We both know
that you must be happy deep down because you had this crush on Max"
Me:.." What?"
Natalie:.. " it was just a silly high school crush Jasmine.. Believe me...I no longer feel anything for
him...that's why we hooked him up with you"
Shannon:.. " I did that because you were not in support of the idea ...anyway let's leave it.."
Me:.." I need your help guys..I don't know what to do"
Shannon:..." Tell Keith.. By the way you will make a great pair.."
Me:.." Thank you so much for your help ..I'm so helped as you can see.."
I was so mad I left them and went home...I don't know I was going to deliver this news to mom..
When I arrived she was in the sitting room.
I just wanted to go straight into my room.
Me:.."good afternoon mom"
I said as I passed so as to go to my room.
Mom:.." What's so good about this afternoon... Did you tell Max that you're carrying his baby"
I almost died out of shock...How did she find out.
Me:.." Mom...I"
Mom:.." I noticed you're pregnant and I'm very very very disappointed.. I had high hopes in
you..but you didn't left any stone unturned in letting me down..why Jasmine...I understand Max
loves you and can marry you...but this is not what I wanted for you...."
Ohhh no she thinks Max is the father..

Before I replied there was a knock on the door.
BOOM!!!.Max came in...by now Natalie or Shannon must have told him everything.
I started to shiver out of fear the most thing I was afraid of was Max's reaction.
Mom:.." You came at the right time...did she tell you that she is pregnant.. With your baby.."
Max:.." Pregnant!!!.... I came here to see her Shannon told me that she is not ok...and I don't
understand you're pregnant Jasmine "
Me:...." Listen to me... I...I"
Mom:.." Why are you surprised Max....whe n did your thing were you not aware of the
consequences "
Max:.." Mom what are you talking about....and Jasmine what's going on?"
I started to cry even more.
Mom:.." If he doesn't know then who is the father.."
Max:..." No need to ask mom....Keith is the father...I knew it that this was bound to happen...but
why did you do this.."
Me:.." Believe me Max ..he forced himself on me...mom...I'm telling the truth.."
Mom:.." What?"
Max:..." For how long are you going to lie... If he forced himself on you let's logde a complaint.. "
Me:.." No please don't please.....I can't let him rot in jail..I understand what he did was wrong but
please don't lodge a complaint.. "
Max:.." You see this mom...how can someone defend the one who raped her.....I think you're
answered ...I'm out and we are so done "
He started walking out.

I followed him.
Me:.." Listen to Me Max we are not done as yet...I need the misunderstandings.. Please"
Max:.." Why now...I told you long back to choose between me and Keith right and this proves you
chose Keith over me..
I can't believe I wasted my time on you..
A
You pretended to be someone so innocent while you slept around.
Now you're lying that Keith raped you while you slept with him...it's not even surprising if you
seduced him....all you wanted was money right now here it is..(he took a brick of money in his car
and threw it to my face...)....happy now"
Me:.."stop it Max....I understand you're angry and hurt...say whatever you want but don't question
my character.... I love you....but then you don't seem to believe what I'm saying to you..Keith raped
me and the reason why I don't want to lodge a complaint is because I don't want this child and
when I give birth I want to give him his child....and that won't happen if he is in jail.."
Max:.." Whatever ...its over....you broke my heart but I will manage..."
He drove off.
Did he just dump me.
I sat down and weeped ...I was already creating a scene in the hood..because i was catching the
attention of everyone...mom came and dragged me inside.
Mom:.." Its pointless to cry like that...go and pack your bags..we are going at Keith's place... I will
go and talk to granny..."
Me:.." No mom you can't do this...please....I can't live with Keith noooo....no way.....mom
please...."
Mom:." I have already decided.. "
She went out...

No no no no...there was no way I was going literally getting married to Keith..noo
I searched for a sharp razor blade...and I cut my left wrist...what else is
better than dying.
I started to bleed and I passed out.
The next thing I woke up in a room filled with voices...my mom was crying.. I opened my eyes.
There was mom,Jake,Kelly,Keith,Mr and Mrs Ford.
Mom:.." What were you thinking Jasmine... Did you even thought about us or the baby you're
carrying.. "
Me:.." I don't care about the baby mom...nor about anything why did you have to save me....I
wanted to die it was my choice..everything in my life is ruined....my heart has wounds which it
can't handle....wounds that won't heal....so tell me what choice did I have...Max dumped me..the
man who meant everything to me..and right now when I need him the most he is not here.."
Mrs Ford:.. " please Jasmine....why do you want to punish the innocent child...tell me my child how
did this happen ...and now you're carrying Keith's baby what happened? "
Ohhh so she didn't know that her son raped me.I wanted to scream the truth but when I looked at
Keith ...he was begging me with his eyes not to say anything about the rape. I remembered how
he told me how much his parents mean to him and that he didn't want to hurt them whatsoever.
Me;.." We were drunk and it happened!! "
Mrs Ford:.. " I'm sorry now you just have to come live with us...until the baby is born"
Me:.." You must be joking"
I must say I was no longer myself ....I was so cold and harsh.
Mom:.." We have already decided two days ago Jasmine there is no turning back..."
I started crying really there was no turning back....so I was going to live with this white guy I used
to see as my friend.
The doctor came in.
Doctor:.. "Please excuse me I need to take the patient to the sonogram.. And the father of the
baby should come too.."
They pushed me to wherever...and Keith followed.

When we went in the doctor put some gel and started scanning... I didn't even want to look at
whatever the thing I was carrying.
Doctor:.. " look at your baby"
Keith:.." Wow its so little... Look at our baby Jasmine ..its like a pea "
Me:.." Are you kidding me....point of correction.. Your baby Keith....our baby my foot...that thing is
not my baby.."
I was so furious and the doctor was even shocked at what I was saying.
There was the ultrasound and all that stuff....the doctor gave Keith some medicine and all the
advises.. I didn't even listen to any...
After that I was discharged and everyone including me went straight to Keith's house.
So I was going to play wife for someone I didn't love.
After a lot of crying mom and Jake left...obviously they were paid some "damage price".... And you
know it was almost like lobola..
These guys gotta be kidding... When they paid that granny and my other two uncles were there.
After they left Kelly took me upstairs.
Kelly:.." I told you that one day you will be my sister in law..."
Me:.." Listen you should brush that off.....after what your brother did to me...I'm not and I will never
be your sister in law....do you know Why I'm here...I just want to give birth to this burden and leave
this place..."
Kelly:.. " ok I get it.."
She took me to Keith's room and the moment I entered events of that night came in my mind.
Me:.." I can't use this room...let alone sharing with Keith..."
Kelly:.." Ok let's go to another room then..."
She took me to another room which was next to Keith's.

It was beautiful but this was never going to be home for me.
She asked the maids to unpack my suitcase and put my things in order..
After the maids were done...I sat on the bed...
Keith knocked and came in...I didn't even want to see his face.
Me:.." What do you want..."
Keith:.." I want to talk to you...please... "
Me:.."you got two minutes ..say what you want and leave...because I can puke anytime....I don't
like seeing your face"
He wanted move close and kneel but I stopped him.
Me:.." No don't come closer...say what you want there and leave....don't even come close to
me...stay forty paces away from me.."
Keith:.." Jasmine.. I know you're mad at me ..about what I did... But I equally regret everything...
I'm also hurt seeing you suffer like this because of my actions...I'm sorry"
Me:.." You should have thought about that that night you decided to rape me Keith.....now get
out....now"
Keith:.."ok"
I don't know how I was going to spend nine months with Keith around.You may say I'm foolish for
not lodging a complaint against Keith...but maybe that was my weakness too much kindness.
I didn't want this baby and I will never want it...I would just give birth and leave it to the father...
End of chapter8
Chapter9
*Jasmine*
When Keith left the room.I broke down in the room

I started to think as to where my life was going and why did I have to face this situation. I have
never wronged anyone intentionally but why was I facing this kind of scenario.My life was a
mess...I was now carrying an unwanted child.
This is not my fault you can't expect me to love a child I never planned for in fact the one I got from
a rape case by a best friend for that matter.
It was around 1 so Kelly came and called me for lunch.
Kelly:.." Lunch is ready..do you want to come down or should I come with your lunch here"
Me:.." No thank you I'm ok..."
Kelly:.. " you're still weak Jasmine and you need to take your medicines ...come on "
Me:.."I really do want to eat..please leave me alone...."
Kelly:... " you're stubborn right....but im no less....I won't leave till you come down for lunch.. "
Arguing with this girl was a waste of time because I was not going to win this.I obliged and
followed her downstairs. We sat on the dinning table and there was this tense atmosphere...
Everyone was quiet.
Kelly sat and unfortunately for me the only seat reserved for me was the one next to Keith...
In as much as I hated it ..I just sat beside him...
The lunch was stuffed pork with blue cheese..
Well it looked yummy.
Keith tried to dish for me but I denied.
Me:.." I can do that by myself"
Mr Ford:.." Ohhh let him dish for you..he is just caring come on..."
Me:.." Ok sir"
Mr Ford:.. " dad....its dad not sir.."
Me:.." Dad"
Keith dished for me....I was so hungry... But the moment I placed the food in my mouth it was tasty
but I couldn't take it down...
I controlled myself and took two bites...
Unfortunately it was now horrible for me so I ran to a nearby bathroom and puke....everything went
out...
Keith followed so as Kelly.
Keith:.." Are you ok...isn't the food ok...what's wrong.."
After cleaning my mouth I answered.
Me:.." I'm fine ...I couldn't take it anymore."
Kelly:.. " looks like the lil one is being stubborn here.."
Keith:.. " what do you want to eat.."

Me:.." Nothing I'm good"
I went upstairs into my so called room..

I was so hungry but this lil thing didn't want to comply.
So I sat on the bed...
After a while a knock came...It was Keith obvious.
Keith:.." I need to dress your wound...and apply some medicine.. And Kelly will bring the food"
This guy never gives up.
Me:.." You can't dress or apply medicine to wound you don't known how deep the wound is...leave
me alone Keith"
Keith:.. " Jasmine please..."
Me:.."Keith please just leave me alone please....I hate seeing your face....I hate everything about
you so just leave before I go insane..."
Keith:.. " just give one last chance.. To make it up for my mistake"
Me:.." Ohhhh so you want to make it up for me.."

Keith:.. " yes"
Me:.." Mr Keith Tyrell Schimd Ford please... Return my virginity to me...and take away the thing
inside of me...and get Max back to me please.."
Keith:.. "(Crying)..... Please Jasmine you don't have to keep on reminding me of what I have done
to you..as it is I'm already suffering... I'm dying slowly each and everyday whenever I think about
what I did to you...you know I valued our friendship so much but that fateful night I lost it...I couldn't
control myself....I hate myself for that... I know saying sorry will not solve anything or bring back
anything that you lost...but Jasmine the child you're carrying is innocent at least give the child a
chance....please"
Me:.." As long as that child carries your name then forget it...if you're done get out...now!!"
Keith:.." Please Jasie...."
Me:.." Out..now.."
He left in tears.Well I don't care ...you can sympathise with Keith but I don't.I have done so much
for this guy.I defended him when Max wanted me to stop our friendship.
Despite raping me I refused to press's charges against him.
If I wanted I could have aborted...ohh yea the law allows it is only when you're raped..but no I
decided to carry his child..
I even lied to his parents in support if him...
Its enough I couldn't tolerate anymore.
I just wanted to give birth and restart my life somewhere else.
Kelly came with the food and I had a bite or so.
After that I had a deep sleep.
And Mrs Ford came to wake me up for supper...
I complied.
End of chapter 9
Sorry for the short chapter

Chapter10
*Jasmine*
Mrs Ford:.. " there is spicy chicken tacos, potato salad, rice and cucumber pickle...I hope you will
enjoy.."
We were at the dinning table when she said this..
Me:.." There is a lot of recipes I don't even know..and I doubt if I will like it...you know what I'm
craving for right now...sadza and muboora une dovi...not this whole lot of stuff"
Mrs Ford:.. " but dear we don't have mealie meal here.. "
Kelly:.. " just try the food you will like it..."
Me:.." No thank you...I don't want all that...its useless because I will vomit "
Keith:.." Babe just try one bite.."
Me:.." Stop babing me...just let me go to my home....I can't live here.."
Now the pregnant hormones were playing with me.
Keith:.."calm down please...will make it up to you..."
Mr Ford:.. " dear calm down this is not good for you.."
Me:.." I'm sorry to say this but nothing will be good for me here...I just wanna be home...this is not
home for me...this is like a luxurious hotel..with maids running around like puppets... They do
everything for you...this is not home for me..I will never get used to this...please excuse me and
don't disturb me.."
I excused myself and went upstairs crying.

I didn't want any disturbances.. After like an hour...I heard a knock...
Me:.." Not again....I said I wanna be alone.."

Maid:.." Please madam open...I brought your sadza"
Me:.."ohhh my God really.."
I opened up and here was my sadza ..I was so happy.. I even hugged her she was older than me
maybe early forties or something..
Me:..." Thank you so much...you're heavenly sent"
Maid:.." Its ok ma'am...actually sir Keith asked me to cook for you.."
Me:.." Ohh yeah..that nigger...but anyway don't call me ma'am you're much older than me...I'm
Jasmine and you're? "
Maid:.." Mai Makanaka.....but I maybe in trouble if I call you by your name.."
Me:.." Ok in front of those people call me ma'am but when its just the two of us I'm Jasmine...I
don't know if I should trust you or befriend you but when it comes to food you will be my best friend
kkkk"
Mai Maka:.." Kkk kk ok"

Me:.." So how many kids do you have "
Mai Maka:.."3 Maka...is 17... Tinavoishe he is 13 and Takudzwa he is 1..."
Me:.." Ohhh my God I wanna see this Taku..."
Mai Maka:" ok we live at the backyard cottage "
Me:.." Ok will visit"
So this Mai Maka was great at least I had someone who had the same lifestyle as me..
Rather than some people who eat spicy chicken tacos blah blah blah whilst I crave for sadza and
muboora...
I slept well and the following morning I wokeup very late..and Mai Maka made me some mealie
meal porridge with peanut butter...and I was happy..
Keith came in once again.
Keith:..." Morning princess...how is the baby.."
Me:.." What's so good about the morning.... Ask the baby if she is ok...I bet she can talk..why
asking me...ask your baby.."
Keith:.." Ok Jas I just wanted to check on you guys.. "
Me:.." Whatever get out I wanna bath..."
Keith:.. " ok"
After I finished bathing i dressed up and went downstairs.

Mr and Mrs Ford were out I heard they had gone to France for some work...
Phew ate least they wouldn't be someone to bother me to eat they expensive tasteless food.
I went to Mai Maka's cottage....and saw her family her husband was in SA...
The little boy Takue was so sweet and I liked her the very moment I saw him.
I took him to the main house and started playing with him.
Keith didn't go to work...ohhh yea he is the boss and do whatever he likes...even raping me
nxaaaa.
The days passed and become months and I was now 6 months...and my belly was like ...
I wasn't even happy about it...the more the baby grew ..the more I didn't like it and the more I
hated what Keith did to me..
And the baby was giving me a hard time...kicking hear and there...which I didn't like at all..
I was gaining weight for that matter.
I continued to shut everyone out...expect for Mai Maka and her family..I even bonded more with
Taku than with the baby I was carrying..
Mrs Ford had organized some prenatal classes for me and you know it was so irritating because I
had to go with Keith and thank God we still slept at separate rooms...There is absolutely no way I
was going to accept a rapist in my life...no ..never..
This other day I had to go for a routine check up and some prenatal classes..
So i wore this nice maternity dress Mrs Ford bought for me.
Keith drove to the private hospital... Just as we were about yo enter I bumped into Max...
Me:.." Max...( I said as tears came out)..."
Max:.." Ohhhh here you're... You look heavy and happy..."
Me:.." Max do you really think I'm happy without you ...really.. "
Max:.." I don't care Jasmine...you decided to threw the love I had for you back at my face....and
Keith finally congratulations you won ....I lost..."
Keith:.." Listen man I..."
Max:.." I don't have any time..."
He started walking off..I followed him...
Me:.." Listen Max please ...just for once Max....I can't handle the fact that you're leaving like this
..please...I have so much love for you that I will explode.."
Max:." Then explode I don't care...and anyway if you really love me as you claim you have a funny
way of showing it... I'm out"
He drove off..and I started crying.

Keith:.." Calm down let's go in..."
Me:.." Are you in your senses....you are asking me to calm down and go in....really when the love
of my life...drove off like that...are you happy now Keith....finally you really ruined my life"
Keith:.. " I don't know how I should say it..but I will always apologize till the day you forgive me...ok
since you don't want to go in where do you wanna go..."
Me:.." To see my mom.."
We went to our place and I saw my mom and Jake they were all fine and happy to see me.
I hugged them so tightly till Jake complained.
Jake:.."why are you hugging me like you wanna go on a journey or something.. You always do
that whe n you go on a journey... What's wrong?"
Me:.." I missed you.."
We did a lil catch up and went home after that.
Keith:.." I have a surprise for you..."

Me:.." Whatever"
He blindfolded me and led me upstairs....

Then opened my eyes.. It was a room decorated for the kid...in yellow and white...
Well we didn't want to know about the gender so he used the colours suitable for both sexes.
Well it was beautiful but who cares.
Me:.." Is this your surprise "
Keith:.. " yes do you like it..."
Me:... " hell no....because I don't care about it...this is for your baby ok not me or anything.... Keith
you should stop putting so much effort to impress me because I care less.."
Keith:.." I'm getting used to your words...I can't believe that through my actions I turned a
shy,sweet,cute,kind hearted girl to a cold and harsh someone.
It really hurts if I could turn back the hands if time I could have rectified my mistake but
unfortunately I can't...
You know it hurts me so much to see you bonding with Taku whilst you hate the baby you're
carrying.. "
Me:.."are you done...because I'm feeling sleepy... Ouuchhhhh ahhhhh,!!!"
Keith:.." What's wrong...are you ok..sit down And have some water...."
Me:.."relax...its your so called baby kicking me like its in a football match.."

Keith laughed.
Me:.." So funny"
Keith:.. "Can I please touch him/ her and talk"
Me:.." Only for today.. Here...its kicking here..touch here "
Keith:.." Ohhh my God its kicking... Hy baby..."
Well this was just a moment for the baby and the father...
After that we went downstairs because Mr Ford called us.
Mr Ford;.. "The reason why I called you here is because I have a serious issue to discuss with
you..well you two need a court marriage....to secure the baby's future...the baby has to grow with
both parents together ..so tomorrow will go to the court and you get married officially. Don't worry
Jasmine we talked to your mother and she agreed"
Me:."you guys always do what you want do you ever ask us about what we want....everyone in
here knows that Keith is afraid of commitment and yet you take the decision upon yourselves are
you joking with my life or what..the idea was for me to give birth and leave but now there is change
of plans... We have to get married.. Marriage that too to Keith my foot..that is not going to
happen!!"
Mr Ford:.. " its already decided "
Me:.." Ohh yea but you can't force me into this crazy arranged marriage literally..
I have my ways I'm not going to get married to him..."
I left them jaws dropped...well I don't care this time they had taken it too far.
I knew they would have their way to get what they want so I had to act fast before I was forced to
marry Keith.
The only option I had was to run away and I was in for it...
I started packing where I was going I didn't know..so I just took my important documents,money
and a few clothes.
Well I had to record myself telling this guys what I felt because I couldn't stand it anymore.
Keith had been so kind but living with him was already a burden to me what more marriage.
I took a camera and recorded myself...
The rest of the day I acted normal but around 10 pm I executed my plan...
I wore some warm and protective cloth and tip toed out of the house without anyone noticing.
I went straight to the cottage and gave my Maka the camera...she knew nothing about my plan....
After that I went to the durawall luckily it was not that high... And it didn't have the electrical wire.
Jumping the durawall is something I was professional at.
So I jumped and ran into the streets.
When I was far...I was almost hit by the car and it was aunt Theresa.....yes the only person who
trusted me.
Me:.." Aunt please help me...get me out of here this place ...this country.."
Aunt Theresa:.." Why what happened... Are you not getting married tomorrow "
Me:.." Aunt please I can't marry the one who raped me nooo..please I will explain everything later
but right now take me away before anyone notices that I'm not at home..."
Aunt Theresa:.." Ok let's go away from this city..."
She drove like a maniac and in no time we were in Harare...

The following morning she quickly booked our tickets...and by afternoon we flew to
America...Phew....after a long struggle...
End of chapter10
Chapter11
*Keith*
Me:.." Mom Jasmine is not in the guest room either...."
Mom:.." Did you check everywhere.. "
Kelly:.." Yes I did mom..she is not anywhere in the house.."
Dad:.."ummm let's go and ask the maid at the cottage "
We went out.. And my heart was already racing...I could feel that something was wrong.
My instincts were telling me that Jasmine did something.
After what I did I realised that I fell in love with her rather than feeling guilty.
I know what I did was wrong..but I never planned and I never thought that I would rape my best
friend ...however you know sometimes when alcohol gets into you you can loose your mind.
Ok I found Jasmine attractive ok very attractive... But I respected her as my best friend.
And surprisingly she is the second girl I have had sex with...
After realising my mistake I also found out that all this while I had fallen in love with her.
Even though I wanted to suppress by the fact that I wasn't into commitments. But she had
changed me.
Anyway we went over to the cottage and she gave us a camera..
Me:.." What's this ...where is she..?"
Mai Maka:.." She gave me yesterday at 10 ..she didn't look right to me..."
Me:.." Why didn't you tell us.. "
Mai Maka:.." Umm"
Mom:.." Its ok let's go and see what she recorded maybe she is at her mom's place.."
Kelly:. " but does she need to record herself for that..."
I was already shaking but I controlled myself. I connected the camera to the TV....and what
Jasmine said left me so broken...
*Jasmine recording*
I can't live this life anymore Keith...I'm running away...I know running away will not solve anything
and it's not the best solution at all but that's the solution I have.
I'm tired of everything.. I'm tired of pretending like I was with you when this baby happened when
actually you forced yourself on me..
I'm tired of everyone forcing their decisions on me like I'm some toy.
First it was you forcing yourself on me..secondly it was people forcing me to live with you...and
now I was about to be forced to marry you which is something i can't tolerate..
Keith you have always been my best friend...and I know what you did to me spoilt our friendship
however you still have some place ..somewhere in the corner of my heart that is why I didn't press
charges against you..
I don't know where I'm going Keith but I want to restart and re evaluate my life... Don't worry I will
be fine so as your baby...I promise I will find some means for you to see your kid...I don't know
how but I will try...
I know you were now falling for me...I could see it ..but Keith after what happened between us
...I'm so wounded that to feel something for you will be hard for me...but believe me I think I will
heal because of this distance and time will heal me...only then I will be able to see you again...
It's a bye for now....this decision of getting us married had pushed me to this...yes I once had the
idea of running away but I used to brush it off..but now I couldn't tolerate it anymore.
Bye Keith ...Take care!!!"...
I wasn't expecting this at all...I broke down in tears..
Me:.." Why...why did you have to punish me like this Jasmine...things were going to be fine
between us why why did you have to leave me like this...I was....used t..to have you
around....giving me the cold shoulder and showing me that anger look Jasmine why did you have
to leave.....why....why....."
Mom:.." Please stop it now...Keith she will come back have faith.."
Me:.." Its all my fault mom...I'm the one who is wrong from the word go...you could have done the
same if it was you....its hard to.live with someone who ruined your dreams..I'm a monster mom...I
ruined her life and now she has to take such extreme measure while carrying our baby...God
knows when she will be back..I need to tell her mom"
I was so so shattered and I blamed myself for everything. We informed her mom and she was
shattered as well.
*Jasmine*
At this point I know you're must be cursing me for my drastic action but I had no other choice.Aunt
took me to America because that's where she lived with her one daughter who was 12.she was a
single mom by choice.
She is neurosurgeon..
During our flight I didn't talk about anything until we reached at Point Pleasant in New Jersey this
is where she lived because its near a hospital.
We sat down and began to talk.
Aunt Theresa:.." I know whatever that happened is wrong here...well I just did what came to mind
because I can't bare it when you're in trouble...However both of us we have been so selfish we
didn't think about your mother..so after we talk I will call her so that she will not worry....Now tell
me what happened "
Me:.." Keith was my best friend ..but this other day he raped me and I became pregnant.. So I had
to live with him..but now they wanted us to get married..that's why I ran away....aunt I Want to
restart my life....I don't know about the baby....I....don't want it..."
Aunt:.." I get you..but on this running away wasn't the best option we could have talked this
through...however since I'm equally at fault here for not listening first I will suggest you don't stay
here for so long....you will give birth and once the baby is fit to travel you go back ..right... And
don't tell me that you don't want the baby because you know I won't take that....you have to accept
that you're a mother now and the baby is yours too....anyway go and take rest...but before you
go...I wanna know if this Keith loves you.."
Me:.." I don't know....but in saw some love in his eyes..I mean I felt it when he touched my
tummy..."
Aunt:.. " so what was the problem"
Me:.." But he raped me"
Aunt:.." Ok I get it...will talk tomorrow.. Now go and rest.."

*Song : Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star*

*Artist: Children Songs*
*Lyrics*
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,

When the nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark,

Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,

Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

How I wonder what you are

Chapter12
*Jasmine*
In New Jersey things were not the same ...I was so lonely as ever...At least when I was at Keith's
place he would keep me company and I realized at this moment that I missed him so much.
Maybe I pushed it too far this time...as it is Keith was already suffering from the taunts i gave him
everyday but running away wasn't the best option.
Part of my heart yearned for him...come on was do lonely I would spend the whole day with the
TV...Susana would be at school...while aunt would be at the hospital ..how boring.
I even realised that the more I tried to hate Keith the more I developed some feelings....my mind
didn't want to admit it but you know when the heart falls its hard to pull back..
Days passed and I was now nine the final month..
Aunt spend most of her time with me just in case.
This other day we were in the sitting room...I don't know how I fell asleep but when I woke up I
thought I had wet my pants you know.
Me:.." Aunt I think I peed while sleeping.. "

Aunt:.. " do you usually do that ..."
Me:.." No"
Aunt:.." Ohhh shit baby your water broke....come on let's go to the hospital... "
Me:.." But I'm not feeling any pain....ahhh hold on there is some...ahhhhhh let's go..."
Luckily the hospital was not far....so she carefully drove there...at Point Pleasant Private Hospital..
When we reached there I took like five hours before I delivered because it was not the time.
After five hours that's when I started pushing...aunt was even there since she is a doctor...
Yohhhhh that was painful the moment that she came out she started crying and the doctors
commented saying she is too intelligent.. Well I gave birth to a baby girl.
When they wanted me to bond with the baby I refused to hold her..she was tiny and I didn't want
her..
I spend three days in the hospital.
Ok this baby cried so much and it was so irritating..
When I went back home aunt would make sure that I breastfeed her because most of the time I
tend to forget and she would go wild.
A month passed by and I didn't bond with my daughter so aunt took me to a psychologist trained
in hypnotherapy which is the use of hypnosis to treat mental and physical problems.
We first talked until she took me to the state of hypnosis which is causing a person to enter a state
of consciousness in which they lose power of voluntary actions and respond readily to suggestions
or commands... So that's the state she put me in...
When I was in hypnosis she took me back to the moment when I gave birth to my daughter (she
didn't have a name at this time)...so that I could bond with her..
Psycho:..." You need to stop seeing your daughter as part of the traumatic experience that
resulted in her being born and instead see her as a wonderful gift that has come into your life....no
matter who fathered her ,your daughter is a wonderful person in her own right and should carry no
guilt for what happened. She is your child and will bring you great joy and happiness if you allow
yourself to see her for who she is and be proud to have her ..and be ready to forgive your best
friend for what he did to you....he lost control and he apologized ..you didn't file a complaint
because you still care and because you know who your best friend really is deep down..be ready
to forgive and move on....do you understand me..."
While in hypnosis I replied "yes"
Psycho:.." Now I'm taking you out of hypnosis... I want see a change in you...."
She snapped her finger and as easy as that I was out of hypnosis... It would be like a dream sort
of...
The first thing I did was to ask
Me:.." Where is my daughter.. "
Immediately aunt came in with her and she was crying ..I guess she was so hungry.
Upon seeing her cry ...I couldn't stand it ..I cried too..
Me:.." I'm so sorry baby...I'm so sorry...I was sick...I'm sorry....baby I'm very sorry... "
I started to breastfeed her ..and I looked closely at her she looked like her father ...however she
wasn't ice blonde like him...since she was a mixture she had a willowy brunette hair colour and
grey like eyes...but most of the features were like Keith..
Me:.." Your name is Keisha Joy Schmid.."
Psycho:.." It worked Theresa..."
Aunt:.. " I'm glad it did"
Psycho:.. " we still need to talk to her about the Keith she was talking of while in hypnosis.. "
Aunt:.." That's his best friend the one who.."
Psycho:.. " Jasmine tell me about Keith....everything his looks ..personality.. Character ...and how
became friends... "
Me:.." Ok I met Keith in a store he bumped into Me and that was our first interaction.... When I first
saw him..I immediately admitted that the guy really looked handsome so handsome...he is ice
blonde,got a well sculptured body he works out and has chiselled jawline and pink.lips..he is really
handsome...
Well Keith is a fun loving someone...and during his childhood he was a prankster... Well he hated
his childhood because he grew up in an orphanage in France by the way he has this English
French accent..
So because his parents always fought Keith was afraid of commitments but I talked to him and he
changed his perspectives towards everything... He is a good guy who loves kids a lot...(I explained
the rest of the things our moments to together and all that)
Psycho:.. "Its funny isn't it....the same person who raped you...you praise him so much and only
see the good in him...when you were talking about Keith you never mentioned anything about the
rape...I was expecting you to say he is a monster blah blah blah but you didn't... Now that makes
me comes to a conclusion that you don't wanna admit it but you have fallen for Keith a long time
ago....when you talking about Keith you never mentioned the name of your boyfriend.. You just
said my boyfriend wanted to stop our friendship and all that...
I believe that all this time you were with your boyfriend you tried to convince yourself that you were
in love with him when you had fallen for Keith already...let me ask you something... Who was the
first person you thought about when you woke up and when you fell asleep be honest"
Me:.." I hate to say this but it was Keith.."
Psycho:.. " I don't need to use hypnosis for you to realise this..you may deny it but you felt for
Keith a long time ago....its the matters of the heart ...so it will take time but at the ended you will
realise that you were in love with Keith...it will take time though...and if Keith is really sorry then
forgive him and restart your life.."
Me:.." I will see"
After the session we went back home..

And I was feeling so new....
I was back to myself the real me ...I realised all this while I was sick..I was mentally disturbed..all
because when the rape happened I never told anyone and never got any counseling... I tried
commit suicide so that pushed me to everything that I did..however the psychologist said I would
be fine and I was now in my healing process...

Chapter13
*Kelly*
Me:." Keith you need to stop shutting everyone out....we can talk this through please Keith...we
always solved the problems together as a family... Please open up.."
Keith:.." Leave me alone Kelly.."
Me:.." Keith please..you're locked up in there and you're watching Jasmine's recording
again....how many times are you going to watch it ..please Keith open up.."
Keith:.. " leave me alone please (shouting)... "
Mom:.."Keith my son open the door please..."
Keith:.." Mom leave me alone....you won't bring back Jasmine and my child who must be five
months by now...so leave me alone"
Mom:.." Kelly let's leave him..."
Me:.." But mom.."
Dad:.." Leave him...he needs to be alone..."

We left Keith alone.Ever since Jasmine left Keith wasn't himself anymore...he always locked
himself up...he never drinks because now he always blamed alcohol for what he did to Jasmine.
Everyone understood Jasmine's actions...but I was so hurt ..even though I know I could have done
the same if it was me.
But now the punishment was enough Keith was dying each and everyday...
Me:.." Mom I can't stand this anymore....Jasmine has to come back now its time...Keith is dying
mom..slowly everyday..I can't stand it mom... We need to do something... "
Mom:.." We can't do anything because the only person needed is Jasmine...otherwise nothing will
work"
Dad:.." We need to find out where Jasmine is we can't just sit back and watch Keith dying like that
..."
While we were talking Keith came out of his room and went straight to the garage ..
Me:.." Where are you going?"
Keith:.." To find Jasmine"
Me:.." But Keith"
Mom:.." Let him be"

He drove off and I wasn't feeling ok about this...
After about two hours I had this strange feeling....you know when your other twin is in trouble..
Me:.." Mom Keith is in trouble I can feel it mom...I can feel it.."
At that moment we received a call and for sure Keith had an accident a terrible one.
He was badly injured so we took him straight to SA so that he could get better treatment...
Unfortunately for us ..he was now in a comma.
Doctor:.. " we are trying our best but his nervous system is dying each moment... We may loose
him...he needs a neurosurgeon and I know one who is in America...you need to take him
there...with immediate effect or he will be in a comma for the rest of his life.."
The doctor gave us the information about the neurosurgeon and we set of to USA to meet the
neurosurgeon who could cure Keith.
*Jasmine*
Me:.." Keith!!!!!"
I woke up screaming I was having a nightmare.
Aunt:.."are you ok...what's wrong..."
I started crying it was during midnight.
Me:.." Keith is not ok aunt...I can feel it he is not ok....I had a dream Keith was standing at the
other side of the road so as me....he was crying.. Each moment I wanted to cross to him a car
would come in a full speed ...but then behind Keith there was a pit and each moment I failed to
cross ..he would move closer to the pit aunt...when he was about to fall into the pit...I managed to
cross but he fell into the pit and all I could do was to hold his hand and now I was struggling to get
him out..."
Aunt:.. " relax its just a dream you miss him so much.."
Me:..." No aunt its not just a dream...I can feel it.."
At that moment Keisha started to cry ..you no the scary cry..
Me:.." She can feel it too aunt...her dad is in trouble"
Keisha cried so much that it was hard to calm her down...and now I was certain that Keith was in
trouble...
My dream and Keisha's cry... Even my heart was telling me.
Anyway Keisha was now five months and I was working I joined the charity club ...all because I
missed Keith...we made donations to places like Ferguson, Missouri...were most of the African
American reside...
Anyway the following morning.. I did my usual routine.... And went to work...Keisha would be with
a nanny...the one who used to be Susannas nanny..she was trustworthy....
After work I came back home and I found Aunt pacing up and down...
She was so worried...I took my Keisha and asked her what the matter was...
Aunt:.." I don't know where to start ..I have been waiting for you....I have a patient Jasmine he is in
a critical condition...I have no time to explain let's go to the hospital now..."
Me:.." What's wrong...,"
Aunt,:.." I said let's go.."
This was weird we drove to the hospital with my Keisha and when we reached to aunt's surgery ...I
saw the Shock of my life...
The whole Ford family ..I wasn't ready to meet them I felt guilty for leaving them.
I was so confused I didn't know what to do...
When they saw me Mrs Ford ran to me...
Mrs Ford:.. " ohhh my God you're here...I thought the doctor was lying.....my child Keith needs you
..he was in an accident... He is in a coma..."
Now that hit me...I almost lost balance...
Me:.." I wanna see him this is all my fault ohhh my god.."

Kelly:.. " yes its your fault.."
Mr Ford:.. " relax Kelly this is not the time to blame each other.."
Kelly:.. " noo I won't relax its all her fault ...she left my bro and now he is in this condition all
because of her...you didn't even think twice about anything... Keith died everyday he slept with
your picture under his pillow...every morning every night he watched that video you left....he talked
to your picture ..he was on the process of going crazy...and you were enjoying your life here.."
Me:.." I don't have time for you I wanna see Keith right now.."
Kelly:.." You're not going anywhere.. "
She blocked my way..
Me:.." Move Kelly...please..

I know what I did was wrong...but if it was you ..you could have done the same ....I was sick
Kelly...and I didn't enjoy it here...I was suffering too...I missed Keith too..now please move ..I want
to see him"
She kept blocking my way...well I gave the baby to Mrs Ford...and we were almost fighting with
Kelly making a lot of noise..
The security came and hold me they wanted to take me out...
However I took a surgical knife from a nurse who was passing by...
Me:.." I will cut myself if you don't let me in...and you will explain to Keith after im gone"
I threatened and it worked...I was allowed to go in.

When I saw him tears just came out....
He had tubes around his nose ..mouth...and the machines beeping ..and the bandages he was not
in good shape and this was all my fault.
Me:..." I'm sorry Keith....I'm sorry...I shouldn't have left ...I shouldn't have....now look at you...we
have daughter Keith....she is like you ...our baby Keith...ours....please wake up...."
That very moment the machines started to beep faster and louder...
Aunt and other doctors came in...
And I went out..
Kelly was with Keisha...
Me:.."I'm sorry Kelly ..I'm sorry mom and dad"
Kelly:.. " I'm sorry too I was just mad...you have a beautiful baby..."
Mr Ford:.. " she looks like his father"
Me:.." So does that mean im forgiven"
Mrs Ford:.. " yes Jasmine.... Keith needs you ok.."
At least ...after some time aunt came out with the other doctors.
Me:.." Is he ok aunt...please do what you can to save him.. "
Aunt:.." Well Keith will be fine....actually he heard you while you were talking that's why his heart
started beating fast.....there is some hope"
Mr Ford:.. " you're blessing child thank you for being here and forgetting whatever Keith did to
you.."
Me:.." Dad please don't say that...Keith had always been my best friend... "
At least I had hope that everything would be fine..

The Ford family started to live with us...well the house was big so we could manage...
We were like a family and most of the times I would talk to mom and Jake ..and they missed me a
lot...
Kelly had planned to get them to US too....
Days passed and it was now two months Keith was recovering but he wasn't awake yet...
This other day I visited him and I was in the mood to confess my feelings to him...
Me:.." Its so funny Keith...I don't know how it happened but I fell in love with you Keith....I love
you....its funny isn't it...I'm the first one to confess my feelings .."
I poured my heart out...and went home...

After some time aunt called saying she had good news...
We all went there and yes there was good news Keith was awake...
But he wasn't talking..
However after three days h ecould talk...
So once again we went as a family and I was happy that he could talk...
Me:." Finally Keith..you're awake"

Keith:.." Mom...dad...Kelly how are you....who is this girl....?"
Me:.." Stop joking Keith its me Jasmine.. "
Keith:.." Ummm I dont recognize you....maybe you're mistaking me for someone else...I don't
know you...."
Wait a second Keith doesn't remember me or he is just joking...
End of chapter13
Chapter14
*Jasmine*
I stood there confused after what Keith said to me....

I looked at aunt and other doctors and they asked me to go to aunt's office..
I did as I was told..and waited for aunt in her office because I needed answers..
After a while she came back with a long face.
Me:.." What's wrong aunt...is Keith ok now....should I go and see him...what's wrong with
him...why I can't he recognise me....lol...I know ah haa he is playing another prank right..I know
him he is a prankster since childhood... He must be asking for me now I will go and see him...."
I was going crazy..
Aunt:.." Calm down "

Me:.." I'm calm aunt ..very calm.can't you see...I need to go Keith must be waiting for me right
now....there is a lot I need to tell him..he needs to know about Keisha...ummm aunt I will go
now...I'm calm very calm (pacing up and down).... Very clam.....I need to breath in and out
phew...Keith must be waiting for me now.. I will go..."
Aunt:.." I SAID CALM DOWN DAMMIT ..KEITH DOESN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT
YOU..."
She said this slapping me so that I could get back to my senses because I was loosing it..
Me:..." What??? "
Aunt:.." Listen to me...When Keith was involved in that accident he was thinking about you...only
you...when he injured it had a bad impact that everything he was thinking about varnished at that
moment and the only thing which was thinking about was you and the baby...so now he knows
nothing about it...he doesn't remember anything about you at all....you're a total stranger to
him....we have done all the testes and its true he lost his memory....unfortunately this can't be cure
through medication but we will always be there to help...unfortunately he has to recover on his
own...you don't have to remind him of anything because you will damage his brain....he will have
to do it on his own..."
Me:.." What the hell aunt....its all my fault I shouldn't have left ....its all my fault... Now you're telling
me I shouldn't help him recover....what if he doesn't remember me for the rest of his life....why is it
always have to be me who suffers....why is my life full of pain and wounds that don't seem to
heal...who have I wronged...why is it evrytime my happiness is short lived....finally things were
going to be ok between me and Keith..and now this has to happen... Why God ....what I have I
done... What if Keith doesn't remember... What will I tell my daughter.... Why...why God....things
were going to be ok I was ready to move on and forget all that happened between me and Keith
and start afresh but now...."
Aunt:.." Please don't cry...you have to talk to Keith since you recognized him ..you should make
up a story that you had mistaken him for someone else...because right now he is questioning
himself....he doesn't have to know that he lost his memory... Or they will be trouble..."
The other two doctors came in.
Me:.." You're professional doctors ...you have learn about this...why can't you do something for
Keith to remember"
Aunt;..." Some cases need God's power ...they are beyond our capabilities... We can't do anything
on this rather than to wait for God's time when he decide to bring Keith's memory back...now lets
go and see him..."
I mastered enough courage and wenwent into the room where Keith was...
When we entered Keith was already talking and laughing with his family..
Keith:.. " so what did I miss...while I was in coma....when did you have a baby Kelly...were you
pregnant all this time..."
Kelly:.. " you're silly bro...this not my daughter ...this is your...ahhhh I mean its her daughter (she
pointing at me)...."
Keith:.." Ohhhh hey your daughter is so beautiful.... "
Me:..." Thank you...(with teary eyes).... Umm and I'm sorry I had mistaken you for someone
else....i was having some sort of a panic attack actually you resemble someone I used to
know....so I'm sorry ..you're not the one"
Keith:.. " its ok..but I bet that someone is not as handsome as me....anyway I'm Keith....Keith Ford
and you're "
Me:.." I'm Jasmine Ncube..."
Keith:.. " nice name ....whats her name.. "
Me:.." Ummm Keisha Joy Sch----...ummm Keisha Joy Ncube..."
Keith:.. " ok its a nice name Keisha...you know I always wished that when I have a daughter I
would call her Keisha such a coincidence anyway if have a daughter though I will call her Keisha...
Kelly can I hold her.."
Kelly:.. " but Keith you're not that well yet..."
Keith:.. " I'm fine I just have a lil pain here and there "
Mr Ford:.. " if he wants to hold the baby then let him be ...give him the baby.."
Kelly gave Keith the baby...and to be frank Keisha smiled I have never seen Keisha smiling like
that ...
I silently cried and everyone in the room was touched...they were like "owwww how sweet"
Keith:.." Ohhhh my God she is smiling at me.....hey angel I'm Keith you're Keisha.....we sound
good together right ...and look at how you're smiling you cutiey...wow Jasmine this baby is
beautiful... I think her father is handsome too and you're beautiful she must have taken genes from
both of you right..."
Me:.." Yes"
Keith noticed the tears in my eyes..
Keith:.." I'm sorry if I touched a sensitive topic...I'm sorry I'm talking too much...look I was in a
coma for months so I feel like recovering all this time ..so I'm talking a lil bit too much...ummmm so
when am I going to be discharged "
Aunt:.. " after two days...then you can go back home in Zim..."
Keith:.." Wait a sec...where am I...?"
Aunt:.." America.."
Keith:.." What...US....mom dad Kelly you're all here so who is handling my business back in Zim.."
Mr Ford:." Your colleagues are so don't worry ..."
Keith:.. " ok...but please doc I have a request can't you discharge me today...I'm a lil bit weak but I
will be ok...I hate being in am hospital bed"
I looked at aunt with begging eyes and she agreed.After all he would stay at her house and she
would closely examine him.
We went home ...and Keith was surprised.
Keith:.." You live here..."
Me:.." Yes its just temporary... Your doctor is my aunt.."
Keith:.. " ohhhh I get...."
Me:.." You should rest...you're limping... I will show you your room..."
I accompanied him to the guest room...
Me:.." I will go now tell me if you need anything? "

Keith:.." Ummmm I'm hungry and can I please play with your baby...I hope the father doesn't
mind..by the way where is he I don't see him anywhere..."
Me:.." Ummm he has gone to some other place he will be back at the right time..."
Keith:.." I noticed you're not married or you're divorced... "
Me:.." I'm not married...come on you talk a lot...here is the baby take rest while I prepare
something for you to eat...ummm will I bring your food or you will come downstairs.. "
Keith:.. " I will come downstairs... "
Me:.. " ok"
I went and cooked his favourite dish beef carpaccio and spicy rice....which potato salad..
When I was done I went and called him...
Me:.." I'm done cooking ..come and eat..."
Keith:... " ok let's go..."

We went downstairs and he was surprised to see his favourite dish..
Keith:.." How do you know about my secret favorite dish..."
Ohhh shit I forgot that I was the only one who knew that he like this dish everyone thought he liked
chicken fried steaks..His biological mom used to cook that for him.
Me:.." Ummm your mom told me"
Keith:..." My mom...she doesn't even know about it..its my secret dish.. "
Mom saved me.
Mom:.." I did a little digging and I found out thats your favorite dish..come on eat up before the
food get cold...."
Keith:.. " ok"
Everyone was happy feasting on their meals....but I was sad...anyway I fed my baby and within
time she was fast asleep and I took her to her room..
I cleaned up and took Keith to his room...
When we reached he almost lost his balance but I supported him..
And we had a moment looking at each other...
But Keith was looking so confused.
Me:.." Are you ok"
Keith:." Yahhh but I feel like I have met you before....I feel like I have seen you somewhere..but I
can't recall...anyway forget I think its because of the medication that I'm imagining things
ok...thank you for helping and thank you for the food.."
Me:.." Ok take care..."
I smiled and he closed the door....As soon as he closed the door I was already in tears..
Why was this happening to me..and Keith was he very going to recover..
End of chapter14
Chapter15
*Jasmine*
Days passed and Keith didn't even show any improvement he didn't even remember anything.
We stayed a week more in Point pleasant then after that we all flew back...Aunt had made some
arrangements to start working in Zim.
We reached there and the first thing I went to our home...I was going to live there anyway....
She was so happy I don't wanna lie especially after seeing Keisha.
Mom:.." Ohhh my God Jasmine my granddaughter is so beautiful eyy...so tell me did you have a
normal delivery"
Me:.." Yes mom I did ..but I didn't bond with Keisha at birth so I had to see a psychologist but
believe me everything is ok now..."
Mom:.." Whoa thank God...but now what will happen to Keith..."
Jake:." Ohhhh my....is that you big sis and is that Keisha..."
Me:.." My lil man how are you... I missed you so much.. "
Jake:.." Me too can I hold my niece... "
Me:.." Yes here you go..."
We had a catch up with my family and we spend the rest of the day chatting about places in US
and all.
I had also brought some lil goodies for them.
The following morning I had planned to go and give my friends a surprise visit.
I woke up bathed and wore a purple drindl skirt,white vest and white sandals....
My little princess was also in a purple umbrella dress and white pumps...I also put a nice cute
white band on her curly hair.
Aunt drove me to Shannon's home...
Luckily she was there when I got there...and she was more than happy to see me..
Shannon:.." OMG!!!!! The girl is in the building I mean the girls...come in....I missed you girl... So
tell me how was US ....are they nice dudes there....did you find yourself a man ..please tell me ..I
will burn with curiosity.."
Me:.." At least ask one question at a time..."...
Anyway I told her everything she needed to know...
Me:.." Where is Natalie?"
Shannon:.. " ummm ahhh I really don't know she went to SA two months ago and she never told
me why she was going there ..."
Me:.." Why do I feel like there is something else you're hiding from me..."
Shannon:.. " there is nothing I'm hiding trust me.."
Me:.." Ok then ..I think I should...."
Before I finished talking I received a call from a new number ...

I hesitantly answered.
Me:.." Umm hello...who is this ?"
Caller;..." Keith here...I got your number from Kelly.....actually I was at your house I wanted to see
Keisha..so your mom told me you're at a friend's place....do you mind if I can come and pick you
up.."
Me:.." No problem ..I will direct you.."
I gave him the directions and within some time he was at the place..
I was so happy to see him..he even have me a hug...but what hurt me is that he almost recognized
Kelly...but as for me he didn't even have any idea ....
Keith:..."ummm so what did you say your name was.." He said to Shannon.
Shannon:.. " my name is Shannon.. " She acted like she had never seen him before because I had
told her about how Keith lost his memory.
Keith:..." Your face is so familiar I'm sure I have seen you somewhere..... Ummm are you sure we
didn't click ..like chatting over the phone.."
Shannon:.. " umm no I think you're mistaken.."
Keith:.." Ok then...ummm how is my princess doing by the way"

Me:.." Here you go ".. I handed over Keisha to him.. And she started smiling like crazy...She
always did that since the day she saw Keith ...I guess she was sensing that its her father....
Keith:.." This kiddo always smiles whenever she sees me....I mean am I too handsome that I'm
setting an infant on fire.."
Me:.." Ohhh come on ...do you really think you're that handsome.. "
Shannon:.. " he is Jasmine admit .."
Keith:.." She doesn't want to...but she knows very well that I'm handsome... I see by the way she
looks at me..."
Me:.." Ok let's drop it....Keith you're handsome.. Happy now?"
Keith:.. "Very happy..."
Shannon:.. " guys what should I get you to eat...I'm sorry k forgot to ask a lil bit earlier.."
Keith:.. " no it's ok...actually I wanted to take Keisha and Jasmine at my place..is it ok with you
Jasmine"
Me:.." Of'coz I want to go.."
He was surprised ..he thought I was going to say no.

He drove off to his house...
I pretended like I have never been there...
The Ford family were happy to see me there.
However I forgot that I was acting and ran straight to the room I used to stay in.
Keith followed with Keisha in his arms..
Keith:.. " ummm you act like you know this place.."
Me:.." Well umm actually Kelly told me about how beautiful your house is so i was walking around
seeing how beautiful the house so I came room its so beautiful.. "
Keith:.." You're right its beautiful ...and surprisingly yesterday when I got into this room...I had a
strange feeling....like somebody so close to me was staying in this room.."
Me:.." Ummm don't think too much... You're not ok yet.."
Keith:.. " yes I know but I can't shake off the feeling that there is something missing in my life...you
know ever since I got out of coma....I have this unusual feeling that can't get off my mind....but
surprisingly when I'm with you guys it mysteriously disappears..."
Me:.." You're under going some stress ...you shouldn't think too much..or you will have a
headache "
Keith:..." I know but its very strange...by the way I nearly forgot to tell you ...you look beautiful
today...you look like someone I know..."
Me:.." Thank you.."
I was so happy shame...at least Keith was giving me some hope that he will recover and we would
be alright.
After spending our day there we went back home.
After he dropped me I found the biggest shock of my life waiting for me in the sitting room.
It was Max....ohhh my God not another problem please...I was so done with this guy a long time
ago...why was he here now ...I was now in love with someone else why was he back....to ruin my
life or what???
I looked at him in shock....all I could do was to let mom hold Keisha while I had to deal with this
new problem.
Me:.." We can talk outside"
Max:.." Ok after you..."
We went outzide.
Me:.."whatever you want to say make it quick.."

Max:.." Ok I know you're mad at me for not listening to you at that time....but I finally realised my
mistake..I'm sorry for not believing in you when you tried to explain to me....but I'm really sorry...I
realised I can't live without you please give me a second chance to prove my worth to you.."
Me:.." Ok look I need to think about this...because right now I don't even know why you're asking
for forgiveness now....and maybe you have a hidden agenda who knows.....because you the Max I
know...what would you be possibly interested in from a mother of a six months old kid....and who
told you that I was back that's so suspicious don't you think...anyway I got a lot I need to do right
now....we can talk some other day.."
Max:.." Ok can I have your number"
I gave him just to get him over my back.

I spend my night talking to Keith...but later on I was heart by what he said.
Keith:.." Guess what..!"
Me:.." What?"
Keith:.." Ummm my childhood friend or maybe girlfriend is coming tomorrow.... Let me tell you
briefly about this girl....we grew up together in France....she was then taken to another family but
we always talked ..you know people always thought that we were lovers but I never loved her...
However she loved me...for some reason when I came here in Zim I don't know maybe I met
someone I don't remember so I never felt anything for her..and after all I was someone who was
into commitments... However that someone I'm not able to recall changed me....so now I think I
should try going out with Mary and see how it goes...Mary that's her name...so tomorrow I'm
organising lunch just for her...will you please come.."
Me:.." What me no way ( crying silently).... I ahhh I'm busy I can't come..."
Keith:... " are you ok ...."
I just hanged up...I couldn't take it anymore...

Why was this happening now.. Max is back and this mysterious Mary...
End of chapter15
Chapter16
*Jasmine*
The following morning I woke up with huge eye bags ...I was crying the whole night..
I was tired of destiny playing around with my life ...and my heart was ripped into a million pieces.
I prepaid breakfast for everyone and my mom saw that I was a little bit off.
Mom:.." You know sharing your problem with your mom will help...a wise philosopher once said
Talking to your mother has the same effect as a hug and can help reduce stress levels the sound
of her voice releases oxytocin and is great stress relief so baby talk to me.."
I smiled a little... Ok my mom was intelligent but its only that life didn't give her a chance to prove
her worth.You know during her time education wasn't really important to girls there was nothing
like gender equality... During her times girls best learning place was in the kitchen...but I'm not
saying she is that old.
Me:.." I get you mom..."
Mom:.." Ok baby tell me whats the matter..."
Me:.."let's eat first.. "
We ate our family run sandwiches.Jake cleaned up the dishes ....and I asked him to look after
Keisha while I have a lil talk with mom.He didn't object because Keisha wasn't hard to handle.
Mom:.." So now we can talk "
Me:.." Yes ...im facing so many problems in my life some of which I can't handle...mom I'm in love
with Keith.... I..."
Mom:.." I noticed you fell in love with him a long time ago but you didn't want to admit...that is why
we had planned to get you married but you ran away because you were scared and you "sick"..."
Me:.."ok now will you let me do the talking now...(she laughed).... So as I was saying I'm in love
with Keith...but as you know he doesn't remember anything at all......he...m"
Mom:.." Don't worry baby he will remember ...I always pray for him..."
Me:.. " mom will you let me finish please..."
Mom:.." Ok I won't interrupt this time.. I'm listening.. "
Me:.." Ok there is someone else in the picture now....Well he told me he had this childhood friend
Mary actually he didn't care about her that much because he was in love with me but now since he
doesn't remember anything he is planning to try something with Mary so he invited me over there
for lunch ...mom I don't understand why is the universe against me and my love life....at first I
thought I have met my Mr right...but he left me in a situation I needed him the most I understand
anyone else could have done the same... Now that I have realised that I'm in love with my baby
daddy he lost his memory and doesn't remember me of all the people...and now my ex comes
back in the picture.... I don't understand anything mom ...I really need your help mom what should
I do.."
Mom:.." My child there is always light at the end of the tunnel...For you to go to the promised land
you have to negotiate through the wilderness.... Why am I saying this..its because my child you
have to overcome a lot to be happy at the end....
You have read of fairytales most of the princesses had to go through a lot to win their Prince
Charming....I used to read the Cinderella story for you ....you know Cinderella had to live with an
evil step mom and sisters but she endured and at the end she found her prince charming... That is
almost your situation ironically.. You have to endure a lot ..you have to be strong ...you have to be
patient.. You have to be hopeful....believe in the lord he will make a way for you where the seems
to be no way.....God is watching over you ...he has plans for you....You know what Jasmine
...Keith loves you whether he has his memory or not....this other girl may come into the picture but
she will never be able to take your place in Keith's heart...
When you ran away Jasmine..... Keith suffered everyday from love sick....he only wanted to be
surrounded by anything that had something to do with you....do you know he even went back to
Vic falls with your picture ....he loves you very much so nothing can make him stop doing so...all
you need is to be patient he will come around believe me.....God is only testing how much you
love him and how much you can endure for your love..."
Me:..." I want a hug mom..( we hugged).. You're the best mom....you know how to play with your
words...believe me I will take your advise to heart...I will be strong for Keith, Keisha and me ...I
won't give up so easily.. "
Mom:.. " that's my girl...now go and dress to kill for that lunch...so that Keith will be mesmerized
ok...."
Me:..' Maa you're naughty..."
Mom:.." That's me baby ...now go and bath while I choose an outfit for you.."
Me:..." Bathing again.."
Mom:..." Yes go ...hey wena go ..go.."
Me:.." Ok I'm going "
I took another bath...and my mom had chose a nice dress for me....Mom though loool...
It was tight but not that tight off shoulder post office red dress...knee length...
It suited me very well... I didn't want something complicated so I wore black suede pumps...
I tied my hair into a high pony tail and applied less make up...
As for my Keisha she was in black leggings and a post office red dress top.. I also tied her hair into
a two pigtails.. Nxoooo my baby was beautiful wena...
It was simple but we looked perfect...
I kissed mom goodbye and took a cab to Keith's place...
When we arrived Keisha was in cloud nine ..she was so happy I'm sure she now knew that Keith
was her father..
When he saw us he almost froze ....but then since he had someone with him he tried to act
normal...but his eyes deceived him because each moment I would catch him stealing glances and
I would act like I didn't notice...
Keisha was already in his arms so it was now time for the introductions.
This Mary girl.. She was ummmm not good for me...ok I'm not being jealous but she was too white
..and kinda skinny ...yohhh she was in a mini mini mini dress showing off that flat ass
nxaaaaaa...and the makeup gosh....I swear the whole makeup kit was in her face...she was too
much...
Keith:...." Jasmine this is Mary the girl I told you about yesterday.... And Mary this is Jasmine... "
Mary:." What relationship do you share with her..." She rolled her eyes...Gosh she looked like a
vampire....
Keith:.." She is my friend.. Best friend( to me) right Jasmine.."
I nodded...what could I do after being friend zoned like that..
Keith:.." And umm Mary is my soon to be date...if it works out then we will see from that..."
Me:.." Ok.."
Mary:.." Ummm Keith is that baby yours?"
Me:.." You should have asked me that..."
Mary:.. "I'm talking to Keith not to some black friend..."
Kelly:.." Hey don't you think you're being racist ..."
Mary:... " whatever ...Keith answer me..."
Me:.." He is not the father.."
Mary:.." Can someone please tell this girl to shut up.. "
Keith:.. " now you're pressing the wrong chord Mary.... By insulting her you're insulting me....by
hurting her ..you're hurting me...apologize right now and I mean it...."
Mary:.." Is she that important to you....ok fine I'm sorry.."
Me:.."its ok..."
At that time Mr and Mrs Ford were not there...I swear if they were there that girl could have been
in hell already...
However they later arrived..
And were so happy to see me..
Mrs Ford:.. " and to be frank you look so sexy...(she said looking at Keith).... So much that even a
blind man can notice..."
Everyone laughed and I was so shocked when I saw Keith blushing... Ok I have never seen a guy
blushing and secondly I didn't see any reason for him to blush....The one who was supposed to do
that.
I eyed him ..and he smiled and looked away....ok so I'm having an effect on him...
Me:.." Thank you mom.."
Mrs Ford:.. " welcome baby.. "
Mary:.. " if you're done can we eat now....I'm starving.. "
We went to the dinning and sat...there was a whole lot of stuff...

Most of it was French ....french schnitzel (slice if veal or other pale meat coated in bread crumbs
and fried), broccoli pasta salad, chicken cacciatore... Yohhh it was a lot ..i don't even know some
of the dishes...
Mary surprised me when she yelled at the maid for bringing juice..
Mary:.." I don't drink juice what happened to the Sauternes I brought here with me.."
Maid:.." Ma'am alcohol is not allowed here..."
Mary:.." Ok I'm a guest here and things should be according to what I like....who are you to tell me
that alcohol is not allowed here"
Keith:.. " leave her alone she is just following orders ok.... I don't want any alcohol here and that's
it...you're a guest Mary so you should adjust to what the hosts likes.....and as for your Sauternes I
threw it away myself...."
Keith knew how to give this Mary her place.

She didn't say anything afterwards... I'm the one who broke the silence.
Me:.." What's Sauternes Keith...."
Mary:.." Ohhh my God you're so lame ...don't you know what Sauternes is?"
Me:.." I remember asking Keith not you.."
Mary:.." Hey----"
Keith interrupted.
Keith:.." Sauternes is sweet wine from a place called Sauterness in the Bordeaux region in
France..."
Me:.." Ok"
I kept quiet.
Mary:.. " but Keith since when did you stop drinking.. "
Keith:.." Since I....ummm I what... I really don't know....mom since when did I stop drinking.. "
Mrs Ford:.. " since the day you felt like you should stop...now have some table manners ok.."
Mr Ford:..." I was about to say that...."
We ate in silence ..after that I went to the kitchen to clean up...In fact I wanted to do it myself....so
the maids went out and did other chores.
After cleaning Keisha started to cry...she was hungry so Keith brought her to me....I had to
breastfeed her so it was kinda embarrassing..
We were in Kelly's room....I thought Keith would leave but no he didn't in fact he sat down.
Watching me breastfeed ...yohhhh.....
Well I caught him staring ...I don't know if he was staring at my boobs which are so attractive or
Keisha....
Me:.." What are you staring at?"

Keith:.." Ummm nothing... Just imagining what it would be like to do what that kid is doing on that
boob..."
I guess he didn't think before he spoke ..because he was even surprised by what he said...
I laughed a little.
Keith:.. " no I mean to say...what it would feel like to be a baby being breastfed by your mom..."
Me:..." Ok I get it..."...
This time I really laughed....You should have seen Keith's face ....he looked so embarrassed by
what he first said...
Keith:.." You know...the way you laugh reminds me of someone... But I don't know who that is...I'm
trying so hard to recall but I can't..."
Me:.." Don't think so hard Keith sometimes the answers we look for are always right in front of our
eyes..."
Keith:.." Meaning.. "
Me:.." Never mind about it ok....its nothing "
Keith:.." Ok I won't mind for now...but some other day we will talk about this.... By the way you look
ummm so amazing...that colour suits you big time and that type of dress wow.. You look great in
it"
Me:.." Thanks.."
There was this awkward silence...I was done breastfeeding.. So Keisha opened her arms so that
Keith takes him...
There was another moment again when Keith was taking Keisha because he touched my hands at
the same time..
Our moment was disturbed by Mary who came in smoking....Keith was so furious and asked her to
go outside...
Mom was right..nomatter who comes into Keith's life ....I'm the only one in his heart..because the
way he looked at me I was very sure that my Keith was coming back and he was going to recover
nomatter what...
End of chapter16
Chapter17
*Jasmine*
Keith:.." I'm sorry Jasmine....Mary sometimes doesn't know her boundaries... How can she smoke
when there is a baby here..."
Me:.." Ummm its ok....she went outside so there is no problem.. "
Keith:.." No that's not right she is gonna get an earful for that.."
Keith was right Mary has crossed her boundaries... She was a real mess I tell you...and my
instincts were telling me that she was going to cause trouble.
Anyway I decided to talk to Mrs Ford about Keith's condition...
So I went to her room and knocked.
Mrs Ford:.." Ohhhh my daughter in law come in ..."
I went in.
Me:.."I'm not a daughter in law ..I'm a daughter in love.....how are you mom..."
Mrs Ford:.. "I'm ok since you're around everything for me will be ok...how about you..."
Me:.." I'm not ok...I'm worried about Keith's condition mom..."

Mrs Ford:.. " me too....I'm just praying day and night so that God shows his miracle....I can't handle
seeing my son marrying that Mary girl....she is a disaster ... I want you as my daughter in law..... I
just hope that Keith regains his memory before its too late...."
Me:.." Mom I don't understand why Keith chose that girl of all the people that hooligan "
Mrs Ford:.. " my child you don't understand eyy....I don't know who informed them that Keith had
lost his memory.... However I suspect that one of the company people because this matter was
informed to the closest ones...so I think that someone informed Mary's family....so she came here
and emotionally blackmail Keith....you know he is so kind hearted that's why he agreed to try
something with her....she doesn't love him ..she wants some money...nothing more...."
Me:.." Why can't you tell Keith the truth...?"
Mrs Ford:.. " its hard we have no proof....so..."
Me:.." Mom this is complicated eyyy...."
While I was talking to mom I saw a silhouette of someone listening... I signalled mom and tip toed
on the door...I think the person noticed and ran away....when I opened the door I saw an ear
ring....I took it and showed mom...
Mrs Ford:.. " its Mary's ...Kelly doesn't wear this cheap jewelry.... Just to confirm go to her room
and check..."
Me:.." Ok mom"
I went straight to Mary's room..when I was about to enter I heard her talking on the phone..
Mary:.."yea I heard it right mom...they know what we are up to....(silence).... Ummm yahh this
black girl is a new threat I gotta do something or she will ruin my plan...(I went inside and she
didn't notice).... Mom I have a new plan to get money fast...let me get myself pregnant and use the
child as the bank card ok....ok...fine bye"
When she turned she almost had a stroke when she saw me standing with my arms folded..
Mary:.." How long have you been there...?"
Me:.." Long enough to hear your stupid and cheap plan...which in my presence will not happen... "
She started cat walking towards me...with her stupid chest out...
Mary:.." So what do you think.....that you can ruin my plan...hahaha then forget it because I'm way
smarter than you....by the time you try to take action I will be gone to France with all of Keith's
money ok..."
Me:.." By the time you think you have succeeded I will be 100 steps ahead of you....what do you
think ....that I will let you sleep with my man.... Nooo forget it..."
Mary:..." Hahaha your man you say.....does he even know you..."
Me:.." Yes he does know me....but his heart knows me...have you noticed how much he cares for
me.....did you see the way he looks at me...that should be enough to show you how much he loves
me..."
Mary:..."ok then game on bitch..."
Me:.." Ok flat ass ....game on"
Mary:.." What did you just call me..."
Me:.." White girl with flat ass and fake boobs....what do you think I said.."
Mary wanted to slap me but I caught her midways....
Me:.." Hey chill ....you think you can just raise your hand at me...it doesn't work that way.."
Mary:.." I don't care but today Keith will be in my sheets"
Me:.."ok will see"
I walked out....
I went and said my goodbyes to mom and dad.
I went to Keith to take my baby..
Keith:.. " why are you going this early..."
Me:.." I have things I need to do.."
Keith:.. " ok I will drop you.."
I didn't object so he drove to our place..

When we arrived he opened the door for us..
And then he kissed Keisha's cheek...
When it was my turn he looked at me and moved slowly...and kissed my cheek....hahaha what did
you think..
Anyway it was just a moment because he took his time kissing my cheek like that ..I wonder if he
knew the kind of electrical currency he was sending into my body.
He left ...and I was now thinking of how to stop Mary's cheap plan.
Yes I thought of a silly idea and I knew it would work.
Around 7:30 I asked Jake to call Keith saying Keisha is crying very badly..I know how much he
cares about her.
It worked within thirty minutes he was at the gate luckily Keisha started crying bcz she was hungry.
I went out to open the gate for him and at that moment Max arrived..God knows where that guy
came from.
Keith was already out of the car ...and Max came out as well..
Upon seeing Keith he went straight and grabbed his collar.
This guy though... Keith was so confused he didn't even know what was happening.
Max:.." You again....what's your problem are you ever going to give up...why don't you leave her
alone...every time I try to make things right you always come in between... "
Keith:.. " what are you talking about man.... What's wrong with you..."
Me:.." Leave him Max..."
Max:.." You're are always defending him....have you forgotten what he did to you..the last time you
defended him.."
He was now testing my patience... I dragged him and he freed Keith...I gave him a hard slap..
Me:.." Keith go inside"
He walked off...
Max:."but..."
I gave him another slap.

Me:.." Don't you dare Max....raise your hand at Keith do you understand.... You're not my man
ok.."
Max:.." What is wrong with you... Do you love that guy...huh...ohhhh I get it its because he is the
baby daddy right.."
Me:..." Max please don't try me....what does Keith have to do with this anyway you're not in a
position to judge my decisions ok....I decide who comes in this house and who doesn't... You
came here were you invited ..so don't even dare Max....I never want to see you here again...got
it..."
Max:.." I made the right decision by choosing Natalie over you.."
Me:.." So why were you after me then.."
Max:.." So that I can use you and hurt you at the end"
Me:.." You were never going to anyway because you're old news...my past my present my future
will only be for Keisha and Keith....so sorry Max you wasted your time..now get lost.. "
I walked inside the house and left him shocked like that...
We had had our dinner so I went straight to my room and found Keith playing with Keisha...
Mom was at granny's place.
Me:..' I'm sorry about what happened earlier.."
Keith:.. " its ok...it was just a silly misunderstanding right.."
Me:.." Ok can I get you something to eat..."
Keith:.. " no I'm okay..."
He continued to play with Keisha and he wasn't ok for me.

I sat in the bed and looked at him.
Me:.." Keith I'm sorry about earlier really....I never thought Max would react that way.."
Keith:.. " don't worry it's ok....I wanted to ask you something "
Me:.." Ask"
Keith:.. " where is Keisha's father?"

I was shocked.I could not look into his eyes ...so I stood IP and looked the other way.
Me:.."I told you Keith he has gone somewhere far... But I know he will be back"
Keith:.. " where did he go? "
Now I was crying...me and my tears though.
Me:.." I can't tell you that "
He didn't say anything ..he stood up and hugged me

How much I missed to be in his arms...I hugged him tightly.
Keisha made the funny sound like she is saying..." I'm still here guys"...
We both laughed and went to her..she smiled like crazy..
Me:." Umm I will go and take a shower ok..."
Keith:.." No problem.. "
I went and took a bath after I wore my decent pyjamas while in the bathroom.
However I had to dry my hair...but usually mom would help me coz my hair was long...
But now I had to struggle alone....I think Keith noticed.
Keith:.. " want some help"
Me:.." Yea"
He helped me out and this was just another moment for us...
After drying my hair Keith hugged me from behind...
Keith:.." I'm sorry for making you cry earlier"
Me:.." Its ok..."
Keith:.. " so am I forgiven..."
Me:.." You didn't do anything wrong"
Keith:.." Ok...let's go to sleep now"
We slept on the same bed but Keisha was between.However I was happy...
End of chapter17
Chapter18
*Jasmine*
The night was amazing even though I had to woke up during midnight to breastfeed Keisha one
or two times....you know how babies are sometimes.... We can't blame them..
Anyway Keith also woke up when he heard Keisha crying.... He slept after seeing us sleeping
(Keisha and me)...
The following morning l woke up late.
When I opened my eyes Keith and Keisha were both staring at me....smiling ....yohhhh uy was a
beautiful guys....these two looked so much like each other...I wondered if Keith didn't notice it yet..
Keith:.. "Wake up its 8 ...you sleep like a baby.."
Me:.." I'm exhausted ...Keisha gives me a hard time eyyy..."
Keith:.. " so you do that everyday... "
Me:.."yep...."
Keith:. "Ohhhh sorry...anyway I tried to prepare some breakfast.. Jake has gone to school
already...and your mom..."
I interrupted.
Me:." Is she back?"

Keith:.. " lol...no...why are you so scared of her like that.."
Me:.." No I'm not scared I just respect her..."
Keith:.. " well I suggest you find your own apartment... "
Me:.." Yahhh I was thinking of the same thing...but I have to find a job first...anyway let me go and
take a bath.."
Keith:.. " ok...make it quick your breakfast will get cold..."
Me:.." By the way...did you change Keisha's diapers... "
Keith:.. " yea and Jake helped me....I must say....you are strong....kids are hard to handle eyyyy...I
give up...."
I laughed and went to bath...

I was so happy ..I had ruined Mary's stupid plan....and what more could I ask for than to sleep on
the same bed with my man although he doesn't remember anything about me.
After bathing I wore some denim shorts and a baggy T-shirt and went to the dinning for breakfast...
I found Keith giving cereal to Keisha....
He even knows how to cool cereal...
Me:.." Whoa that's amazing... I never thought you could be able to do that...making
cereal...feeding ...changing diapers hahaha...."
Keith:.. " don't start the diaper thing yohhhh.....but however I feel like I have trained for these
things sometime in my life ....I'm trying so hard to remember but I can't....Jaz can you interpret
dreams..."
Me:.." It depends tell me about the dream.."
Keith:.. " ok my dream was like this....I was standing at the other side of the road...and there was
this girl who I could only see her body...her face was blur...but her body was like yours ...she was
also on the other side of the road....every time she wanted to come to where I was a car would
come...and.I would move a step back..but then finally she made it ...but then I felt into a pit..
However she dragged me out of it after a long struggle.. And then later on I was with the same girl
somewhere beautiful and she was holding a baby who couldn't recognize the face either....I'm
confused because this is not the first time I dreamt of this girl I can't recognize the face.."
Keith's dream was straightforward and it was the same as the one I had when he had an accident
but now in his dream I had managed to pull him out of the pit..so I was happy that finally my
problems would end soon....I didn't realise that I was smiling until Keith snapped his fingers.
Keith:.. " hey I'm still waiting"
Me:.." Ohhh sorry...actually Keith your dream is all about a woman who loves you and is trying by
all means to help you to get out of the situation you're in...and she will succeed that's all..."
Keith:.. " the question is ..who is that woman....because I feel like that person is the last piece of a
puzzle that I need to feel in....I feel like my puzzle is incomplete but I can't tell who that person
is..."
Me:.." Like I have told you....sometimes the answers we are looking for are right in front of us.."
Keith:.. " I still don't get you .."
Me:.." You're a smart guy Keith....read between the lines .."
Keith:.. " I don't know what to do....could that girl be Mary"
I quickly replied.
Me:.." No no way.."
Keith:.. " you're speaking as if you know the person .."
Me:.." I don't but if it was Mary then you could have seen her face.."
Keith:.. " you're right and anyway Mary is white...ok forget it tell me how you met Keisha's father.."
Me:.." That again "
Keith:.. " ummm please I just wanna know"
I thought this was my chance to tell him about our story maybe he could remember something.
Me:.." Ok...I met him in a shop.. We accidentally bumped into each other ...and then he insisted on
paying my things and I agreed....he asked for my number ...I gave him.....we became friends...and
then best friends....I had a boyfie ....
I didn't know that he was slowly falling in love with me...
This other day he couldn't control himself he was drunk ..he umm kinda forced himself on me....I
hated him at that time...but then I realized that this happened for a reason...
I tried committing suicide... But then I survived... Even though I didn't want to I started living with
him after finding out that I was pregnant.... You know I hated him because my boyfie dumped me
but then he loved more than anything but because of my grieve of what happened I couldn't see
it....I was blinded by anger and I wasn't mentally stable I ran away to the US ....there I realized
how much I love him...I moved on from what happened between I want to start afresh.. But then
I'm back and he is gone..somewhere far ...and I'm hoping that he will come back for me and his
baby girl... I know he will but I gotta be patient.. "
When I finished talking Keith was crying...

Me:.." Hey what's wrong...?"
Keith:.. " I don't know why I'm crying.... I don't understand what I'm feeling right now..be honest
with me Jaz..why do I feel like I'm that guy.."
Before I replied mom came in...and I was relieved because I really don't know what I was going to
say to him.
She was so happy to see Keith that he was also surprised.
Anyway later on he left and I spent the day with mom.
Around 8 Keith called.
Keith:.. " come out I'm at your gate ...I need to talk to you...."
Me:.." You can come in.."
Keith:.. " no just come out .."
He hanged up so I went out....I found him learning on his car.

When he saw me he hugged me so tightly..
Me:.." Are you ok....?"
Keith:.. " I want to figure out something..let's get in the car.. I need some answers to the questions
I have"
We went in and sat on the back seat...

We were silent for about five minutes...and I later broke the ice.
Me:.." You can ask I'm listening "
Keith:.. " I have a lot if questions in my mind....if you have any answer then please be honest...
Jasmine why do I feel different when I'm around you..?"
Me:.." Keith I don't know how you feel when your around me and that's something you should
figure out yourself "
Keith:.. " ok....but Jaz why do I feel like I have known you for so long...why do I feel pain when I
see you suffering ...why I do I feel happy when I see you smiling... Why do I feel restless when I
don't hear from you the whole day...why do I feel so scared like a teenager when you I'm close to
you.....I know you have answers to my questions Jaz ..why do I feel like you're the missing piece
of my puzzle....why do I feel like you're the girl I'm always dreaming about....why Jaz ...why ....
The way I feel about you I have never felt for someone why....
Look at me I'm shaking right now ...why...
I know you have answers please Jaz tell me I really need to know....I can't live like this
anymore...please tell me whats wrong with me....I feel like everyone is hiding something big from
me....why do I feel.so connected to Keisha why....
I know something is fishy...and I expect you to be the only one who can tell me what's going on
please...."
Me:...( crying).... That's something you should find out on your own... These are your feelings
Keith.. Not mine ...you should figure it out on your own..."
Keith:. " so that's my baby to carry you say..."
Me:.." Yes ...why are you ask----"
Before I finished he was already on my lips ...this guy though...

Ok we never shared a passionate kiss before and this was my first one with him....
I couldn't resist it...it was so yummy ....
Anyway he stopped and looked at me.
Keith:... " I believe you have an answer for this because this is about you and your feelings... Why
did you kiss me back....?"
Me:.." Ummm ....I....I had no choice...
Keith:... " you had a choice... You could have pulled back and slapped me....like how you slapped
that guy... You're saying you had no choice but your lips and your body were telling a different
story....anyway since you don't want to answer me I'm going to find out on my own..."
Me:.." So can I go now...."
I said while getting out of the car....

He came to my side..and hold my waist.. Kissed me again....God this was so perfect...
Keith:.. " and you find answers for yourself too....at first I caught you offguard but you had a choice
this time around...but you responded to my kiss again anyway goodnight "
He left....

Chapter19
*Jasmine*
To be frank I was in left in cloud nine...come on I deserve that much....I jumbed up and down like a
lil kid...
When I went inside even mom noticed it...
And Jake was like...
Jake:.."your lips are swollen sis what happened out there "
Me:.." Hey mind your own business.. "

Mom:.." We need to talk baby girl.. "
We went into mom's room.We had to talk.
Mom:.." I told you didn't I...that he will come around....now what happened outside? "
Me:.."ahhhhh mom you too...nothing really happened but I think Keith is about to get his memory
back...he was asking me you know those kind of questions... He is eager to find out what really
happened so I know he will figure it out so soon...and I also know he will be a lil upset at me for
not telling him..."
Mom.." Don't worry baby....everything is going to be ok..finally the heavens are smiling at you..."
Me:.." Yes finally... "
After talking to mom I went to my room with my baby....

Before I slept my man called ....
Keith:.." Thinking about me already."
Me:.." No I'm not....."
Keith:.. " so why are you smiling then....why are you thinking about the kisses.. "
Me:.." Ahhh y'all I'm not thinking about you ok....you will be married to Mary soon.."
Keith:.. " ohhhh so I get it...si Mary is the problem right.."
Me:.." Are you flirting with me Mr Shcmid...."
Keith:.. " ummm how do you know that surname..."
Me:.." Ummm your mom told me..."
Keith:.. " you're lying....you're definitely hiding something from me..."

Me:.." Umm I'm not lying"
Keith:..." Your breaths are telling me that you're lying... "
Me:.." Lol....Keith you should go to sleep ok...you're talking nonsense.. "
Keith:.. " ohhhh yes I can sleep now after all you talked to.me..."
Me:.." Good night..."
Keith:.. " say it..."
Me:.." What..."
Keith:.. " something you're forcing yourself not to say..."
Me:.." Ummm you say it..."

Keith:.. " I will say it when I figure out everything you're hiding from me..."
Me:.." And what if it doesn't please you then.. "
Keith:.. " you're not the type to disappoint me.."
I hanged up yohhhh....I was scared what if he gets upset that I hid the fact that he is Keisha's
father.
Nway I was happy that we talked ...I had a goodnight... When it was time to feed Keisha I was
surprised to see Keith calling...
He then said..." You must be breastfeeding right.."
Since it was midnight we didn't talk that much.
The following morning I didn't hear from him and I was kinda scared.
He didn't even call ....then around 3 he called ,asked me to come to his place...ok he sounded
upset and I almost had an anxiety attack...
I dressed up and went to his place..
I found that Mary girl seated and she was upset too....
When I arrived Keith had his arms folded...
Keith:.. "Mom take Keisha ...Jaz we need to talk come with me..."
Yohhhh I was scared I looked at Kelly and she gave me thumps up....ok that was confusing...she
was giving me thumps up when Keith was upset like that..
Anyway I followed....we went to his room and he locked his door...
He took some documents and handed them to me...
They were DNA tests results...
I was shocked this guy had a DNA tests with Keisha and it proved that he was father ..ohhhh gosh
how could I explain this to him...
Keith:.. " care to explain.. "
Me:.." Ummm I Keith..."
Keith:.. " you think I wouldn't notice that she is my daughter ...its so clear even a five year old can
notice that she is my child....so the story you told me about Keisha's father was true...so that's
what I did to you....why I can't remember anything ...what happened to me Jaz...you can't hide it
from me anymore.. "
Me:.." Its for your own good that I'm quiet Keith....I can't tell you..."
Keith:.. " damn...it Jaz I was t to hear a different statement.... What's wrong with me ..come on say
it please.. "
Me:.." YOU LOST YOUR MEMORY!!! "
I screamed at him.
Keith:.. " what...?"

Me:.." Yes Keith....when I ran away you were involved in a fatal accident... You were so injured
especially your head...the doctors said when you were driving you were thinking about me so
when you had an accident you lost all the memories we shared ....that's what happened to you
Keith....I was asked not to try to remind you of us because it would damage your brain...but now I
can't stand it ....its hard for me that you can't remember anything about us....you don't know what
I'm going through right now...."
Keith:.. " ohhh my God I can't believe I put you through all this....ahhhhh ouchhh my head...... "
He screamed holding his hard....He then fainted and his head hit the cardboard and he lay
bleeding.... I started screaming for help....now I was blaming myself ..what if he doesn't remember
anything about me forever ...
We rushed him to the hospital while everyone was assuring me that everything would be ok...and
that Mary was making a fuss until I gave her a slap ...that's when she relaxed...because seriously
she was getting into my nerves...
I was pacing up and down and Keisha was crying ....I think she senses whenever something
happens to her dad.
After a while the doctor came...
Doc:.." Who is Jasmine here.."
Me:.." Its me doctor.."
Doctor:.. " come with me....the patient have been calling your name ever since he woke up..."
Guys I almost jumped....I went in with Keisha in my hands...

When we got it Keith had a bandage around his head ..he didn't look that injured though.. He
smiled when he saw us...
Keith:.. " I'm sorry Jaz...I'm so sorry...sorry Jaz ..you had to go through a lot because of me...I'm
sorry...(crying)... Sorry Jaz ..all I ever did was to bring pain in your life.."
Me:"..." Shhh don't say that you were sick..its all my fault if I didn't run away you couldn't have
suffered that accident.. So please Keith don't apologize you didn't do anything wrong..."
Keith:.. " no Jaz all the problems you faced was because of me..if I didn't force myself on you...you
could have been happy with Max....and all that ...I'm sorry please forgive me if you can....,"
Me:.." Everything happens for a reason....please don't ever say those words like forcing yourself
on me...or rape ok....of'coz I hated you for that but now at this point I thank God for whatever that
happened that day or else we couldn't have been blessed with this baby girl here...so Keith move
on from what happened between us just like how I moved on ok...I forgave you and its water under
the bridge now we are moving forward no looking back at our past mistakes....let's start on a fresh
page ok...."
Keith:.. " thank you so much....I love you Jasmine.... "
Me:.." I love you Keith....but what will you do with Mary..."
Keith:.. " I will handle her ok...now can I have a kiss..,"

Me:.." Our daughter is watching heyyy..."
We both laughed....
Sorry for the short chapter guys....chando veduwo I got frost bites.....so its hard to type...!!!
End of chapter19
[06/10, 20:11] RoyalVelz: *My wounded heart* .
Final Chapter...
Sorry guys I had to end this book so soon...I got a lot to do these days ...but I promise the next
one will be a long one...I hope you understand...!!!
That was just our family moment...at least the huge obstacle we had dealt with it...but now there
was Mary ...and I know she wasn't going to take this lightly.. Remember she had an agenda she
wanted to be rich..very rich...and you know how money is sometimes... When somebody is greedy
for money they can do anything... They can stoop yo any level..they can plot the most cheapest
plan ever ..something you can never imagine so as to get what they want..
I was so scared that Mary could do something as silly as that...
Them people you never know...
Keith:.." Stop thinking too much I will deal with Mary ok.."
Me:.." I'm worried about Mary ..you know she only wanted your money that's all...and you know if
someone is greedy for money they can do absolutely anything.. to get it ...I'm scared that she
might try to harm our family... I mean we ain't safe..."
Keith:.. " don't worry too much Jaz...if it's money that she wants we can give it to her and she will
leave our lives forever.. "
Me:.." No I don't think that's right..she can't just get whatever she wants all the time..somebody
has to stop her ...because she will continue manipulating other people just to get what she
wants...and who knows what she can do..because she had emotionally blackmailed you....Look
even if you give her the money....she will never be satisfied... When somebody is greedy they will
remain greedy..they will never appreciate...
What I'm saying is Keith....I understand she is your friend and you have a soft spot for her
somewhere in your heart..but sometimes its not necessary to use emotions we should be realistic
and go head to head with the situation.... In this case you have to put aside the fact that Mary has
been your childhood friend and is still your friend...you have to take proper action
..and she almost slept with you ..she wanted to get herself pregnant.. And you know I won't be
able to take that because I dont even dream of sharing you with someone else.."
Keith:.. " whoaaa I see my love...my baby mama ..my wife to be is so overprotective ..but anyway I
like it and I get your point ....it will be hard but I have to send Mary back to France...for the sake of
our family and for the sake of us ok....I will take proper action like you said...but I will do it
tomorrow ok...because today we are going to some lodge ..seriously I miss you and I want to
spend the entire night with you..."
Me:.." Yohh yohhh Mr Ice Blonde ..you're sick you need to heal first...there is no going to some
lodge ok..."
Keith:.. " I know you want the same thing even though you act like ..you don't wanna be in these
well sculptured muscle arms....come on you want some me so bad...."
Me:.." Ok ok I admit..I wanna be with you...but will you respect our daughter at least she is
listening ..."
Keith:.. " hahahah she is just six and half ....she doesn't understand a thing..."
Me:.." Anyway every1 is waiting to see you ..I should call them in.."
Keith:.. " ok..."
I went and called everyone in ..they even complained that we were taking so long....
Everyone was happy that Keith had regained his memory except for Mary who knew that her
stupid plan could no longer work...
Anyway Keith didn't say anything to her though but I looked at her and smirked..
We went home ..and Keith came with us he had to ask mom for permission to take me with him..
Mom permitted him ...well she had no option ..as a woman she knew how much I missed my
man....though as a mother it will be like inappropriate but come on....we are in the twenty first
century some things gotta change...
I'm a baby mama after all..
We went to the lodge and you we had missed each other so we did the thing and this time it was
amazing... I can't give you full details its personal loooool...
The following morning we bathed and spend like three hours in each others arms talking and
catching up ..and telling each other some sweet nothings...
But then we had to go home because Keisha would be a siren there..and Keith had to solve issues
with Mary...
We first went to my house and we took Keisha luckily she wasn't crying... and then we headed at
Keith's place where the whole drama was awaiting for us...
When we went inside the house Mary was pacing up and down in the living room...mom,dad,Kelly
were laughing and acting normal...
The moment she saw Keith ..she came to Keith and hugged him....ok I was jealousy ..she can't
just throw herself at my man like that...thank God Keith remained like a statue with his hands in his
pockets...
Mary:.. " where were you last night huh...you just went out without telling me huh..huh?
Keith:.. " I believe I don't owe you any explanation ..and stop acting wifey to me..."
Mary:.." What Keith....I'm your wife to be remember .....did this black girl use some dark spells and
witchcraft on you....yes she did that ..what else can she be better at..look at me Keith ..I'm yours
and will forever be ok...I know you the best that anyone else here...we grew up together we were
meant to be from the beginning trust me...we will make a great pair....and I will take care of Keisha
ok...."
Keith:.. "STOP IT MARY....aren't you ashamed everyone here knows that you just pretending
...you don't love me ..let alone valuing our friendship... All you care about is my money... So stop
wearing that mask because I know your true colours...
If it was money that you wanted you should have told me rather than playing with my emotions
..pretending like you care when you knew for a fact that you don't care....I'm tired of your fake love
and pretense Mary all these years you were my friend but do you know why I never wanted to date
you....its because I knew you were fake...now you were taking advantage of the situation just to
get what you want.. Look straight up Mary.. You should stop acting like a good friend when we
both know you're not....Right now go and pack your bags...you're leaving and don't worry about
the tickets....I asked someone to do it for you...."
Mary was shocked at Keith's reaction so she thought of another plan ..suicide threat....she went
and took a kitchen knife and threatened to kill herself if she can't have Keith....
And Keith was almost falling for this stupid act..
Mary:.." If you can't love me then I will kill myself..."... She said pointing the knife at her stomach...
Keith:.. " please stop Mary ..we can talk this over ok...please"
Me:.." Go ahead Mary kill yourself it will be minus one problem for me..and I will be so honoured to
attend your funeral..so go ahead or should I do it for you...."
Keith:.. " what are .."
Me:.." Shhhhh Keith...let's see if she can do it...can't you see she is just threatening you.... "
Mary:.." Ok if I can't kill myself then I will kill you..."
She tried to attack me but unfortunately before she could...Keith gave her one blow that she lost
two front teeth on spot kkkk.
Keith:.. " you have pushed me to this Mary... I don't raise my hand against woman but anyone who
dares to try and raise their hands at my wife and kid....I don't spare them...now go and pack your
bags... I can't even stand you for one more minute... Right now go and pack your stuff...."
I have never seen Mary so afraid ..she ran upstairs and within a second she was done packing
hahaha.....now she was looking like a real vampire without two front teeth...looooool.....you should
have seen that ..she looked scary ahahahahahaha...
Anyway we had to accompany her to the airport ..this girl can't be trusted...and finally she flew
off...
We went back home and it was joy only....
Three months passed by and mine and Keith's wedding plans were underway.. I must tell you this
guy wanted classy things....my gown was designed from a famous designer in Paris.....and the
jewellery and all that....
We had fought all our obstacles so we had nothing to worry ....
Our wedding was fabulous and is still the talk of the town....and the funny part Keith had to pay
lobola hahahaha can u imagine....
We had our honeymoon in Paris the city of love.....
And it is at our honeymoon that I realised I was pregnant again.....loool can u imagine....but anway
it was a good thing for us...
And one more thing I was now and asset manager on Keith's charity foundation....
As for Natalie and Max they didn't last long they broke up soon after my wedding..
And Shannon is currently dating one of Keith's coloured friend...
That's me and my story ....Mrs Schimd!!!!!
The End...
Guys I'm sending a new book soon..but you have to be patient because these days I'm so busy...I
got a lot to do...
If you pressurize me then I will cut the story short...however I'm not saying you pressurize me
though...!!!!
