Fairy in the Flames - Chapter Ten

Fairy in the Flames – Chapter Ten

    “What’s the world’s greatest lie?… It’s this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.” -Paulo Coelho

If anyone would ask me right now, why I had Tuelo in my car and driving home with him. I would say I didn’t have a choice, that he needed help and I was the only one who could help him at this moment. Everyone…

Fairy in the Flames - Chapter Nine

Fairy in the Flames – Chapter Nine

  I wake up and it’s quiet. Donald is not in bed, again. And the silence tells me he’s not even in the house. My mind goes back to yesterday, at the restaurant. I had such a peaceful sleep and for a moment I forgot about it, a part of me wishes it was a nightmare, but it was not. The amazing thing is that Donald manages to calm me, to make me forget. Being in his arms makes everything alright.…

Fairy in the Flames – Chapter Eight

    “Morning. How did you sleep?”

Msizi is already up and watching TV when I come out of my bedroom and ready for work. He slept on the couch, since the other room is a mess and I don’t have a bed in it.

“Morning, I slept okay.”

“Okay, I am off to work. Call if you need anything. Here’s the spare key in case you go out.”

I am trying to reach him but I can’t, he can’t hear me or see me. The voice I hear is Tuelo’s who is on the other side of the door, shouting.

“Open the door Khanyi!!!”

Fairy in the Flames – Chapter Six

      After I spoke to Donald on the phone, Kefilwe and I decided to have lunch. Donald was tired from the night shift so he said he still needed to rest. I missed him and of course he did too. But then again, I missed my friend too. And I also felt we needed to catch up, I felt a bit bad that she kept the fact that she was pregnant from me because she thought it wouldn’t sit well with me. And I…

Fairy in the Flames - Chapter Three

Fairy in the Flames – Chapter Three

  “Until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs and work. But eventually, it will all ooze through and stain  your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds , stick your hand inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories and make peace with them.”  -Iyanla Vanzant
