Under a Marula Tree

A first narrative point of view

Under a marula tree

Once upon a time we had a wonderful easter holiday 15 April 2022. I got a call early in the morning from my brother hooking up to see if I was available so that he should do a transect amount for Good Friday.
I then received a transaction message of A sum of a thousand rand. I was happy because I was completely broke and there was nowhere else to get money.
I didn't take time time to freshen up, I took a very fast taxi from Bungeni to Giyani central business district.The driver said to me while laughing like he had seen a blind man peeping at improperly seated woman.:" HE VALUNGU YIKWIHI MASK?" Meaning " where is the face mask?. I replied:" NIYA KU XAVENI KA YONA HE DJ. Meaning "I'm going to buy it, cause the Village Ethiopians a selling fake mask they don't last.

All the passengers laughed.
By the time the taxi was approaching Hlaneki filling station. We then arrived at Giyani cbd and I ran straight to capitec ATM and widraw the amount I was given.
I didnt spend a time at Giyani town after cash withdrawal I went straight to Bungeni taxi rank. They were calling" Bungeni majosi malamulele let's go!!!
One of the malamule taxi driver asked me:" MIYAKWINI HE MKHULU" meaning "where are you going? I I replied :" NIYA KAYA" meaning " I'm going home". Mmh!!! I actually hit his tail he was very angry and desapointed. He said to me:"LOKO MINGA LAKU HLAMULA MHO MIYELA" HE BOTI. Meaning " if you don't want to reply just shut off you mouth. I got inside a taxi
A Japan engines roars, the taxi took a way.
When I arrive home it was early 13:03, I got in a near buy shop and buy 2 pain killing tablets cause I suddenly had a terrible headache. It didn't take a time to stop. The owner of the shop said to me. " I am taking all my workers to enjoy Easter Holliday at my remote place that is being built to chill, eat and drink. Just bring along only your self".
I just rushed to my 2bed room appartmet and changed my attire, I was looking attractive.
We both workers mingled at our employer premises and set under a marula tree where there was an enjoyable shadow.
The big black container was full of alcohol, almost one hundred and something blacklable dumpies.

We crush many bottles of steam eyes and put inside a container trying to refrirate the drinks and wait for atleast 10 minutes, there beers gone cold and started drinking.....(www.writerscafe.org)
