PAIN BEHIND THE BEAUTIFUL FACE

Nandi's pov
I decided to try and talk to Themba, to see if I could get to the bottom of what was going on. I found him in the living room, staring out the window with a look of deep concern on his face.
"Themba, what's going on?" I asked him, trying to keep my voice calm. "You've been acting so strange lately, and Amahle is getting more and more anxious by the day. What's happening?"
Themba turned to me, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and determination. "It's Xolani," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "He's out of prison, and he's coming for us."
I felt a chill run down my spine as I heard the name Xolani. I knew that he was a ruthless and cunning man, with a history of violence and intimidation. And now, it seemed, he was coming for us.
"What are we going to do?" I asked Themba, trying to keep my voice steady.
Themba's face set in a determined expression. "We're going to get out of here," he said. "We're going to disappear, and start over somewhere new. Where Xolani can't find us."
I nodded, feeling a sense of resolve. We would do whatever it took to keep our family safe. We would run, and we would hide, and we would do everything in our power to stay one step ahead of Xolani.
