Chapter 22 - 20. War

Les returned from the rest room feeling a lot better. There was no sign of pain on her beautiful face. Of course se had cried to her loneliness, although she couldn't understand exactly why her heart was feeling so down.

"Man! Even science can't explain human emotions." She exclaimed to herself as she stood outside to catch a breath. She contemplated about going home; well that couldn't be a bad idea since it was already in the afternoon. Besides she wasn't used to be out that late without her parents. She smiled as she mocked herself as a baby because she acted like she was five.

Her thoughts were interrupted by two voices coming from the other side. "mmmm! These voices seem angry. well not both of them, but one voice was way too high and angrier." She thought as she tiptoed towards the place the voices were coming from.

To her relief it was the DJ and the man who was on stage with him. She shrugged her shoulders as she thought it was just a business misunderstanding between these two. she therefore returned to the hall to inform the couple that she was heading back home.

Molemo went outside following Leseli. He wanted to reveal who he was because he was indeed in torment. He wanted to hold her once again. However, to his surprise, he met an angry Lerato.

"Mr Luvo, have you seen a woman who just went in the ladies' restrooms?" Molemo was smiling with confidence as he wanted his friend to know this woman who had been messing with his hea.

To Lerato, Molemo was turning into a player. How could heinvite his cousin here if he was planning to go after other women? Was he that sort of a person?

"Perhaps all these years you have been hiding the real Molemo in there!" He exlaimed with a voice so high it could scare off even birds. "how could you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I saw you smiling to her.I saw you on stage. Tell me when did you have the time to invite her over?"

"I didn't invite her over. It was said she is the planner of this party. Isn't she amazing?"

without thinking, Lerato threw a punch in Molemo's face. He was spitting non-stop. he went on telling how he was disappointed. " Molemo, I always admired you. I never knew you would let me down. I was only last week when you were telling me about some woman you met in Cuba and how crazy in love you are. When did you decide it was her?"

Molemo was very confused. His nose has been punched. It was hot and painful. He was lost! what was wrong with her meeting the woman he loved right there?

'We came here to deliver dad's batch of chicken, we just lodged into the hotel when we met bro Stebo! Why couldn't I tell you if I was planning to see her? Please don't be like this. Can't you be happy that I found my heart here?"

"Oh! Now she is your heart? Sees my hearing was bad all these years. She has always been in love with you but..." Without finishing off what he was saying he stormed off to the opposite direction. Reason he couldn't vent out his anger and disappointment was that he saw Pulane from the corner of his eye heading towards them.... he panicked. He didn't want her to see him in a bad mood.

Pulane was smiling as if her life depended on it. She heard half of their conversation and thought she was the one Molemo was referring to. her heart was jumping up and down her chest. She thought if she appeared she could indeed hear the confession.

Molemo was rooted to the place, his jaws open wide! he couldn't digest what just happened. He merely told his friend about his woman but he got that mad! Small hands hugged him from behind, bringing him back to his senses, as he turned around, he found Pulane. Her light complexion was flushed red! Before he could think of saying anything he saw tewo women exiting the hotel. One was Leseli!

He pushed poor Pulane aside and ran to the two ladies. What just happened did not escape leseli and Nthabi"s eyes. They thought Molemo was a cheater!

"Men! I'm glad i already found my better half!" Nthabiseng said with disgust looking at the man who was running towards them.

"mmmm!" Leseli agreed with her.

To their dismay the man ran towards Leseli and stood before her, stopping her in her tracks.! he was panting! He tried to control his excitement as he looked into those beatiful eyes. In no time he was lost! lost in her huge brown eyes. They were like a pool of wonder, adventure, fun and happiness inviting him over.

Leseli was surprised! She never thought that these could happen. She raised a beautiful face to look at this crazy man. Surprising she felt warmth wrapping around her. those clear black mysterious eyes! Their eyes seemed to be saying a lot before any of them opened their mouths.

Nthabi tried calling her but she seemed to be in another world!

For what seemed like a decade a fist appeared out of nowhere and punched Molemo's face. Leseli blinked a few times, before realizing that that woman in white was shouting something to her. She was in shock! First she has met that man who had filled her world with a million colours and left her begging for more... but what was happening? who was the man? who was the woman?

"Wait, She was smiling towards him all along throughout the party. But if they are lovers why could he push her aside and run to me?"

Pulane on the other hand was blaming Leseli. She couldn't understand what was between them that the love of her life could have ignored and pushed her. She claimed that Leseli had seduced her lover and now he was the one hurting.

Molemo got up with a bleeding face. He turned and saw that Lerato has indeed humiliated him before the woman he was dying to have as his. He lost it and pounced over Lerato like an angry lion! He lost even a will to reason. Pulane's words were like kerosene to the fire. His wrath was likely to pur on her too. He stood over Lerato who fell on the ground after a vigorious kick on his stomacked. He dashed over to him and started sending a rain of punches all over him!
