Looking at my mom ndakaona vakabata pfuti nemaoko aibvunda uku misodzi iri pamatama. It took her a few more seconds to process what had just happened and she dropped the gun ndokutanga kuchema vakabata musoro and she was like, "Ndaitei?" Ndokutanga kuchema. Inini naNaledi tisu takamhanya panga parara Machete and we didn't even know what do. Inini personally this guy had troubled me a lot and had tried to kill me a lot of times and him lying on the floor with blood oozing out of him was supposed to feel like an achievement. It was supposed to feel like a relief. Unfortunately it didn't. Hana yangu yakarova and then the realisation that he was also my father kicked in as l watched him. I couldn't feel the win anymore as l felt my tears starting to gather mumaziso and l kept fighting them away. I could see the same in Naledi's eyes as we both knelt paside pavo and we couldn't even touch him clearly undecided. Machete slowly raised his hand and held Naledi's hand and he looked at her in the eye, "I'm sorry my daughter. You were the best thing l ever had," he said Naledi started crying even harder zvekuti she couldn't take it zvekusvika pakuita munhikwi. She was speechless but Machete clearly had more to say. "Don't worry, you are going to be okay. I was doing all this for money but clearly l crossed too many line. I'm sorry for your mom. Honestly l know l don't deserve it but please forgive me," he said with a pale look and Naledi couldn't stop crying even harder. He turned to me and l was like, here we go ndakupihwawo zvima curse zviya zvevanhu vakushaya. He reached for me hand with his other hand ndoku kosora. "When you joined this industry you were literally the only person who made me have sleepless nights, plotting how to take you down. Trust me l did. And surprisingly the more l planned the more l kept failing. Zvakandinetsa. Until today. The answer came. You are my son after all. Probably the improved version, combined with your mom avo. Daamn. You mom raised a sharp fine man," he said ndokutryer kuseka and coughed blood rather. "This is your sister. Please do take care of each other." Now Honestly watching the worst person l had ever met suddenly being the dad l never had gave me shivers and my eyes kept getting even more watery. "Wandinzwa Maliq? Take care of her and kana akazoroorwawo pamberi apo, please, ucharge mari yakawanda fani. Mwana andinetsa kuchengeta iyeyu," he said and tried to laugh again and now Naledi anga akutadza kana neku pfugama kwacho neshungu achichema holding on to her dad. Machete turned to Naledi, "Naledi, l know you are over 18, and you can do whatever you want. Asi until then, this is the closest thing you have to a father. Musarwe because of the mistakes your father did." He coughed again and now simba ranga rakupera. "We need to rush him to the hospital," this was me ndabatwa nemweya wekukura usina baba apa maziso aye anga akusaona zvakanaka azara misodzi. Machete wacho ndiye nyakuto tanga kuseka. "Musazvinetse. Use these last seconds of mine to take my advice. First, drug business is the most profitable thing you can do in Zimbabwe. I mean look at this mess. Baba nemwana bought all these cars. And you prolly have more than 100k right now. Thats a lot of money. It comes with power. You manipulate even the law, civilians and everything. Trust me taane makore tiri mu industry umu. Tadzidya mari idzi. Bought houses over houses. Its all fun, Until you then look back and realise you have lost everyone you ever cared about. The only thing l ever had that was valuable is this daughter of mine ari apa uyu, Naledi," he said and smiled, brushed her hair off her face with his fingers and then spoke, "And yet l ended up putting her at risk, assignments which could have gotten her killed. You are my son Maliq, my first born actually. And here l was, ready to put a bullet in your head after killing your mom. Its profitable but the price might just be your soul along with everyone you ever lov_" Aaaand he went on permanent mute. Trust me l felt a very strong stub deep within my chest and all l could do was watch. We ended up hugging naNaledi and she cried herself out kusvika hembe yangu yatota yese iyi and Lorraine was there still hugging my mom who was crying too. Naledi akazosimuka walked to my mom and it was kinda awkward and too much silence for a while. "I'm so so sorry, ndango_" this was my mom with tears trying to explain to Naledi but she just hugged her and said, "It's okay, its not your fault." Team yaTaflo yakazoita catch up, they did a clean up yavanga vagara vachida kuita all the years before. And the craziest thing we ever did was stagging his car crash. Mapurisa akazosvika tatove kuHarare, and hearing the news we had to act shocked all over again n stuff. My mom and bros couldn't go back to Buhera so ndakaenda navo kumba kuMasasa park. And funeral yaMachete yakaitwa and it was actually a National thing. Everyone knew him. Not in a good way of course but social media yanga ingori, 'The Undefeated Machete dies in a car crush.' During period yese iyi my entire family was staying with me, from my mom, bros, and even Naledi. That was necessary because everyone had to go into healing and we were the only ones who understood what each of us was going through. We also knew exactly what had happened. However, my father's words kept ringing every time l looked at my family. Machete was dead but we still had to put security pamba. Extra security. Fear of the unknown. Poison and Scatter were still out there in the hiding and l couldn't risk anything. Drug business rakaenda pa pause for like 2 full weeks and demand ikakwira, masuppliers aisamira kufona achipopota because money inflow had paused. And nhamo dzekwana Maliq dzanga dzisinei navo. I was still undecided about a lot of things. At least l was certain about one thing. And l had to do it asap! *LORRAINE* Ndanga ndakagara kuseri along with my sisters and cousins nyaya dzichitaurwa and they makes all kinds of fun vachindi wanzira and stuff. Everything was feeling very unreal. Kwakazouya kamwana katete vangu kadiki kachimhanya and she was like,. "Gogo Loe hanzi muri kudiwa mumba." Hana yakatomboti rovei asi panga pasina zvekuita so ndakagadzirisa dress rangu raiita kakushinya kana ndaakusimuka ndokusunga zambia ndokumhanya mumba muya. Ndakasvika ndikagwadama paside pavo, "Iwe, vanhu vako ava uri shuwa navo here iwe? Nekuti mbudzi yangu yandatenga iyo ikaurayirwa mahara muchiita drama pano kah?" Vakadaro ndokubva ndabudisa phone kutarisa time. "Kwasara 10 minutes daddy. Handiti vakati ndoo nguva dzavari kusvika here?" Ndakadaro kune mukoma wadad vangu and he was like, "I know. Asi vanobika vakuda kutanga. And ndoo paya pandati mbudzi yangu ndandichida kuti izourawa vauya. Ini zvekuti mbudzi yangu idyirwe mahara ndoo zvandiri kuramba. And takambonzwa mafun'a fun'a akawanda. So madrama ndoo atisiri kuda," vakadaro and dad vangu ndokuwedzerawo. "Wambovafonera here kuti unzwe?" Tete vangu vakuru vakabva vapindirawo, "Iih nhai mukoma. Zvinozoita here kufonera vanhu kuita sekuti mwana ari desparate. Ngatingo mirirai nguva dzacho dzikwane." "Ambori nemari here munhu uyu wamati unganidzira?" Vamwewo bamunini vangu vakabva vavhunza and tete Rejo my other distant aunt added. "Ndoo zvandambo vhunza zviya nekuti last time l checked mose makati munhu uyu airenter panext apa. Ini zvekuti ndobva kuSouth African uko ne plan ticket kuti ndinzwe zvema 1,5k handidi. Obva achema chema pamusoro pacho. Ndege inodhura veduwee. And especially yandauya nayo it was first class. Munoziva ne economy iyi plus rand rakadonha mazuvano zvinhu zviri kudhura." Vaizvinzwa kani tete vangu. Vachiti vakataura taura vozvi faner faner and then shes like, "Asi muno hamuna Aircon?" Zvisineiwo while l was still stuck pakuti ndopindura sei mivhunzo yavo yese iyi, panze pakabva pasvika pick up truck yaidhonza mombe 1 ndokubva tose tamhanya kuma window kunodonhorera. "I think vasvika," vamwe tete vangu vakabva vadaro and Aunty Rejo was like, "Ndambozvi taura. Nekupi kwamakambonzwa kuti munhu anoenda kunoroora nemombe 1. Dai iri hadzi taiti zvimwe ndoo yehumai yacho. Iro bhuru iro?" While they were still watching pakasvika imwe futi pick up mumashure yaiva yakatakura nguruve pamwe nema broillers in a smaller cage ndokubva zvano siiwa pakitchen paive nevanhu vaitema huni. Mamwe ma cousins angu aivepo panze ipapo achitema huni. 1 wacho wataiti Gangster ndoo akabva auya mumba ndokubva aita kugamirirwa nemunhu wese. "Hanzii?" "Hanzi ndoo zvekugocha. Nekubikisa so tanga tichinzi kana tichikwanisa togona kutotanga kuuraya. Saka ndauya muno kuzotora banga." Makaita runyararo for some seconds and tichiri kutaura ndokubva kwatevera imwe zve pick up yanga yakavharwa netent ndokubva yanomira futi pa kitchen zvekuti dzanga dzakusakwana. "I think ndoo ye grocery nema beers yanga ichinzi iri kutevera. Hehede nhasi tohupepeta," my cousin akadaro achiita kufara smile kugotsi kusvika madimples ave kuda ku colapser ndokubva amhanya kunotora mapanga kukitchen. Ndakazoita zvekubudiswa imomo ndakudzingwa vanhu vakugadzirira zviso zvavo kuti zvi lookee serious vamwewo kutanga kumhanya kubedroom kunochinja kuti vapfeke dzavanga vakachengetera kuzopfeka vakudzokera. Ndakano garako nema cousins angu tiri mutwuma java twuya vamwe vachiti gare gare make up yogadziriswa. "Nhai Tanatswa veduwee. Zvauchasvika pakuita bullet proof nefoundation nhai?" My oldest sister mai JJ asked vachiseka. "Shuwa nhaimi chinguri abvirira nekupfapfaidza ipapa tanzwa," Kuekue added. "Iii veduwee ndisiyei. Ndanzwa kuti masinhi ese auya akatakura nema GD6 ewhite chete uko. Kokana bamukuru Mali vaine zvivapfanha zvavo n stuff," Tanatswa akadaro achibudisa lip stick ndokubva taseka kusvika taku kwenyana tega nekunyara nenoise. Takagara kuseri ikoko for a long while until tete Mai Nokue came kumba kuseri kuya with a smile on her face ne step yeguhwa chaiyo. Vakangosvika nekunditarisa ndokucheuka cheuka kaviri katatu and then she was like, "Waaaaaaaaaaaangu." Ndokucheuka cheuka futi. "Zvatazonyara nekalist kedu kaye keroora?" Chikwee chakatangidza kusvika tazovingwa naBamukuru Mbofana vachi popota. "Munopenga here imi kuseka kunge zhipfambi zvajumha night shift? Iwe Loe sunga dhuku uko. Hanzi chiuya unhonge. Ugadzirise face iyo uda kutinyadzisa here?" Munhu wese anga atove mucheek zvekuti ndakazobvako ndakuita zvekuto dzingwa apa kana step ndanga ndinayo here? Ndakasvika ndoku svoda svoda ndichipinda mumba apa the crazy part about kuroorwa is unogona kungosangana neface dzausati wamboona before apa ndoo vanenge vachinzi vauya nemari vacho. Unozongo nhongawo ka50 mundiro irikutadza kufema wosvoda svoda uchibuda. Zvakaoma mufunge. Apa ava vana bamunini vangu kungoona mari vanenge vakuita kunge vachakudya vachiku karira. Nguva yekuti mukwasha achiuya aonekwe yakazokwana. Uyuwo Maliq hameno mweya we show off akauwanepi. Vanyai vachingo dzokera kuti vanodeedza vanhu, few moments later kwakauya maRange Rover 4 akadungamidzana wanike vanhu vemughetto redu vawana basa ndokukoromoka vachitevera convoy kusvika yasvika pamba. Vakaburuka vaine masuit ndikaita sendichaseka ndichiona Santo akapfeka suit for the first time neka serious face. Naledi was with them together with Maliq's younger brothers and even his mom was in the last car nevamwe vandanga ndisati ndakunyatso ziva. It was chaos. Sweet chaos. Wanike ini handichagoni apa ava tete veJoni handakumboona kuti vanga vachinja nekupfeka dress rinobata rakavhura cleavage nguvai, fan yavo munaoko nema lashes. Chaos, but sweet chaos. *MALIQ* Raiva long day zvekutodaro after ndafurirwa_furirwa naSanto to go all in, l did. And l didn't regret it. Mwana ndakazobva ipapo ndamupihwa even vana baba vaLoe vaisandifarira vanga vakuto tora maselfie neni and stuff. It was a success. The only person who still looked at me with question marks was Loe's Uncle. And day rese ndaingova tiza. Ndakazo kasika kubva after mapictures anga atorwa ndokusiya vasikana vachitorwa and stuff. But like always, l was always a man with too many responsibilities. I had a meeting. In fact, l had 2 meetings. The first one was with the supplier uyo anga akundi tumira ma threats akawandisa. So l had to meet him. I went there ne team rangu ndokusiya vapfanha. We met up naye, collected about 25kilos. Which was a lil too much for my circle. "25 hadzina kuwanda here?" I asked. "Dzakawanda l know. Asi its not my fault kuti you have been putting a pause to the business. Besides, your competition is gone. Almost a monopoly. I don't think you are gonna have any problems. In fact l think its time you start expanding to other cities, Bulawayo, Gweru, Kadoma chii chii. Look at this as the bigger future," he said and smiled. I sighed. Deep down l could see the bigger future but on the other hand, l was already on top of the food chain. But it wasn't feeling safe. I had everything l ever wanted in my hands and now l had to protect it. Starting more branches while l had so much to lose didn't really sound like a good idea. So l walked from there ndaane idea. With my convoy takananga kuclub since kubase kwanga kusisiri kuendeka. Everyone was there. Nevamwe vaida kujoina vanga variko. Vanga vaine nguva vasiri kushanda and they were hungering assignments. Vachindiona ndichisvika nestock l could see every face in the room lighten up. It was time to tell them that business was gonna be back ON vofara and stuff. Cause thats who we were. We were drug dealers. Money makers. But pakadaro kuti umire pamberi pevanhu vese ivavo wovaudza kuti you were starting to consider quiting wasn't really a good move. Quiting and stopping the drug business either wasn't really a choice. I was too deep and stopping was gonna start a war as everyone would be fighting to go to the top. But then l came up with a perfect idea. Ndakatora Santo naTaflo ndokuenda navo kuoffice. It was time for a short meeting. "Guys, I'm quiting this," l started and Santo was quick to say, "Good idea. Tetakuita zvechii?" "Taflo was like, daamn boss musadaro. Tichiti finally tahwinha battle iyi pamusoro pakuendawo munhu anofunga? Musadaro mukabva muma streets umu munoita hondo," akadaro pleading. "Don't worry, you are taking over. I'm leaving it to you?" He was like, "Huh?" In shock. "Yeah. That is kana uchida hako," l added. "Boss muri serious here? I mean, eish. Zveku leader vanhu izvi its not my thing," he said and l looked at him. "Trust me you are good at it. You defeated Machete naScatter, you as the leader. And you are very loyal Taflo. I think you can lead this," l said. He was speechless but yeah l was decided. "You can thank me later. Inini I'm going back there kunoudza vanhu kuti nhasi ndiwe uri incharge of distribution. I'll link you up with the people you are going to be working with." Just like that, l left the drug business. I bought a house for my mom kuBuhera mutown, semunhu anga aita insist kuti life yemu Harare yaivaremera. At least she was no longer staying kumusha side. I shifted into club business and built clubs all over the country with Loe helping me with mathematical means. Taflo ndakamupa business but somehow, anything l asked for, he was there to deliver like he was still working for me. Santo somehow kept doing whatever l was doing until l made him the overall manager of the club business. I guess l had just invented the third way to survive a drug business! Quitting! *END OF DEADLY FORTUNE.* *THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT. AND MANY THANKS TO MY COMMENTS SECTION.
