Mamwe mazuva, Rutendo aimbotizororei kuma past one but haa zuva iroro zvakakona n'anga murapwa achitodawo. Aingoti paanenge aakuda kuzoora, imwe customer yaibva yauya. "Thank you," Rutendo akadaro achitambidza customer receipt. "Endai patable 2, iyo iri kuside kuwindow pasina munhu apo, and someone will bring you your food shortly," she added. "Vamwe vangu vanga vatogara apo," the Customer said achinongedzera another table. "It's okay, tichaunza chikafu chenyu ipapo," Rutendo akadaro, not forgetting to smile. "Horaiti maita basa," Customer iya yakadaro ndokubva yaenda kunojoiner vamwe vacho. "Order, 2x Homey and Cozy special, 2x lunchtime special," Rutendo akadaro kune maworkamates ake. Maorder aye akabva auya ndokubva Rutendo ama passer on to the next waitress. "Table 4," Rutendo akadaro kune musikana uya. Musikana uya achangobva, Amanda, shamwari yaRutendo yakabva yapinda murestaurant. "This is a rare sight, kuona iwewe uri pacounter," Amanda akadaro. "Welcome to Homey and.... oh ndiwe," Rutendo said achitodenha hake. She had already noticed Amanda achipinda. Amanda akarova ruoko rwaRutendo rwanga rwuri pacounter. "Ouch," this was Rutendo. "Muroad mese ndanga ndichi rehearser kuti ndichakutuka nezvipi zvacho but now that ndaona how busy you guys are, rega ndichengete mawords angu," Amanda akadaro, looking around the room. "Ko ndanga ndichida kutukirwei," Rutendo akadaro achityper something on the computer. "Ah shaaz nemacalls andakukandira aya. Phone memory yako yakati haisi yazara nhai," Amanda akadaro. Another customer anga aine take away akabva auya pacounter so Rutendo akambomira achiattender to the customer. "Iwe, urikuti ndiri kutomboziva kuti iripi? Hazvishamise kana yabiwa kare kare. Kubva makuseni handisati ndatombowana time yekubata phone." "Yoo, asi Patrick aenda kuchikoro nhasi kahi?" Patrick anga ari an attachee there. "Aehwa. Takahaiwa kunocater kumuchato so ndokwaenda nevamwe." "Inga muri kuita mari." "Mari iri kupinda but macosts acho manje haasi kunzwira munhu tsitsi. So far ndiri kungo faitira kuti tibhadhare at least half pamari yebuilding. Once that's done tinenge taakurenovater manje kuti muwedzere kuonekera." "Haa you are always up to something. At times like this, handikuchive." "Xaaz ndokuti zvifambe, ndakarelaxer ndopandozongoona business raakufotota." They continued to chat, uyuwo Amanda achicomplainer about her workplace. As an intern obvious kubasa aishandiswa semadongi 10. A few minutes later, Melanie, one of the employees at Homey and Cozy akabva auya kuzoreliever Rutendo since vanhu vanga vakuita vachidzikira. Or so she said but chokwadi was aida kupa Rutendo uyo anga asina kumbozororawo mukana wekuzoorora. Sezvo Rutendo anga ave free, she and Amanda walked to her office. On the way there, Rutendo akatora two mashakers mukitchen. "So ndiani anga achida kufa?" Rutendo asked as soon as they were settled. A few years back, Rutendo paanga atadza kudaira macalls aAmanda, Amanda anga apopota ndokubva ati she would never call again unless panga paina someone anga akutoda kufa. "Sahwira vako." "Kana uchiti Sahwira vangu unoreva ani?" Rutendo akabva aenda mumini fridge yaiva muoffice ndokutora glass ranga riine this creamy beverage ndokuriisa pamberi paAmanda. Amanda's face lit up. One of the reasons Amanda used her lunch period kucrosser kubva kuna 9th achidzoka kuna 6th was because Rutendo always had a treat waiting for her. It was partly because Rutendo was a good friend but mostly because Rutendo needed a food lover to give opinions on marecipe ake manyuwani. "Mumwe ndiani? Jabu kaaa," Amanda akadaro, digging in. Please note Jabu was not his name and they definitely weren't friends. In the past, paive nemunhu anga afambisa nyaya dzemakuhwa kudzisvikisa kuvaridzi and things had happened. So to gossip effectively, pasina kutya madziro aiteerera nyaya dzevanhu, they had introduced code names. "Aitei?" "Is it just me or hamuna sugar," Amanda akadaro ignoring question yaRutendo. "Oh ibatch rekutanga iroro. Hazvina kunyatsobuda zvakanaka," Rutendo akadaro waving it off like it was nothing. "So Jabu adii?" She asked achiisa rimwe glass patable, an empty one. "Saka wandipa mafailed goods?" Amanda said in disbelief. "Ndatombokupa hangu. Iwewe wakambondivigirawo kana camera yakafa zvayo, kana cover yelense atleast," Rutendo akadaro. "Ndipe kuno," she added, referring to the glass in Amanda's hands. Amanda akatambidza Rutendo glass riya. "Hanty manje ukuona. Ukufananidza zvinhu zvisizvo iwe," Amanda akadaro watching Rutendo, uyo aidira the creamy beverage into one of the the shakers. "Ndingasadzingwa basa here kana ndakaonekwa ndichibuda necamera. Kuswera zuro chaiko takaita kunge tichadyiwa vanhu vakanganwa kucover lense," she added. "Ho saka inini ndini ndisina basa nhai?" Rutendo akadaro, achienda kufridge kunotora shaved ice, achishaker shaker iya. "You can write it off as one of the petty expenses, " Amanda akadaro. "Ko hanty uri boss." Rutendo put the rest of the creamy beverage muneimwe shaker ndokutanga kushaker. "Wow would you look at that, the child learnt another fancy word," Rutendo akadaro achidenha and Amanda had to fight the urge to hit her since Rutendo was busy making the drink and she had no doubt it was going to be something good. Once she was done shaking, Rutendo akabva aisa a spoon of shaved ice muglass, ndokubva atanga kulayer the beverage. "Ooo, this should be better," Rutendo akadaro achitambidza Amanda glass ranga riine malayers epink, cream nebrown, ne straw. "100 marks, " Amanda akadaro after tasting it. "So, adii Jabu?" Rutendo asked. "Kuposta mashura hake." Since Amanda anga afeedwa, she was now compliant. "Let me guess, another party. " "Ko kana akasadya mari yevabereki vake inozodyiwa nani iwewe wakadai kumuramba soo?" Amanda akadenha hake, scrolling through her phone. "But no it wasn't another party." "Apositei saka." "Actually aposta ndisahwira vake vekureba vaye." "Dimples?" Again not his legal name. Just zita ravakamupa to avoid inconveniences. His real name was Frank. Not that that vaimborishandisa. Hazvaimboshamisa kunzwa kuti vanga vari kanganwa. "Asenda two mapictures maview once mugroup nhasi makuseni. One ranga riri rako naJabu from way back. Judging ne madistortiro anga akaita quality I'm guessing ranga ritori screenshot re video. Rimwe racho ranga riri picture raJabu naKiki pavakaenda kuVic falls madays apfuura aya. Caption yacho manje... ah kutsanangura kunonetsa, checka wega muphone mako." "Chingopedzisa mhani. Hanzii?" "Hanzi daily motivation, just because today is hard doesn't mean tomorrow is not going to be better. I mean look at my guy Damien. A few years ago ainhongerera but now akudya namambo," Amanda akadaro, reading from paanga anyora pasi. "Saka by kunhongerera kwanga kuchibvigweni?" "Ehe. Chinzwa unzwe, uyu Jabu wacho azobudikira later kwakuita kunge akutsuura shamwari yake," Amanda akadaro achitambidza Rutendo phone yake. Rutendo read a few messages ndokudzorera phone kuvaridzi. "Zvazvakaoma nhai. Kana vachifunga kuti ndiri kutamba game yavo vari kutorota havo," Rutendo akadaro achidzungudza musoro. "Nhai, three years later and vanhu vachiri kungoita kunge vana vadiki." "Vari kuda kuti ndidzorere manje hazvisi kuzoitika. I have more pressing problems. Time yekutamba nevana vachiri kuchengetwa nevabereki vavo ndoyandisina," Rutendo akadaro achiclear mamessages emugroup riya. "Speaking of more pressing problems, " Rutendo akadaro achiratidza Amanda phone yake. There was an incoming call from Miles, hanzvadzi yaRutendo. "Ko phone yake iri kuita wani?" Miles akadaro after Rutendo had answered the call. "Inogotadza nei?" this was Rutendo. "Ndambozama yakarambaka. Kungoti imbudzi saka ndinozvinzwisisa hangu." "Kana muine mbudzi musafungire kuti nesuwo ndoodzatinadzowo." "Muphanha, ndakakuti nyora panoti mbudzi unopagona iwe?" "Ndokata ini. Tozoona kuti unokumbira ani mari yauda kukumbira." "Ndine mari dzangu ini. Two dollars yako ndoidi hangu ini. " "Hesi mhani. So ukudei?" "Hezvo. Ndaakutorambidzwa kuita check on my baby sister here." "Wanga wanwa mapiritsi here?" "Haiwe mhani." "Just checking maparents ako anenge achiti it was your liver that failed but who knows maybe ibrain dzako." "Uhhmmm aiwa zvinodadisa mhani. Handiti uri kubasa kwako?" "Ehe." "Chengeta mashoko ako. Tiri kusvikako manje manje. Dakuti unyatso dzokorodza mainvolved parties acho aripo ese." "Iwewe nani?" "Namai vako ka." Before Rutendo could ask what her mother was doing back in Zimbabwe when she was supposed to be out of the country, Miles akakata hake call. Uyu Rutendo akazongonzwa duu. "Hanzii?" Amanda akabvunza noticing the look on Rutendo's face. "Hanzi Miles arikuuya namama vangu kunoku." "How is that not a good thing?" Amanda akabvunza. "Don't tell me, hausati wavaudza chokwadi nanhasi?" She asked. "Yowee, ndotangira papi?" "How about, hey mom, hey Miles, remember that time I told you I was doing my A level at a school in Gweru? Ndaitonyeba ini. Time yese yamaiti ndiri kuchikoro ndanga ndiri busy kushanda kuSouth Africa uko ndichitsvaga mari." "I'm sure by then ndinenge ndatemwa nechinenge chiri padhuze." "Then make sure pamunenge muri hapana maweapons. Ukavaona vakuda kukujambira wobva waswedera kure and then wobva wati, hongu handina kugara muclass nevamwe and mareport book ese amainzwa nezvawo ndeekunyepa but maresults angu eZimsec ndeeshuwa. Ndakaregister nekunyora exam reZimsec." "Kukunzwa uchizvitaura out loud kuri kubva kwawedzera fear yangu. How about, I don't tell them, simple. " "I'm telling you, kuvaudza chokwadi is the best idea. Vanhu vakangwara Rue, unoti they are not questioning your standing in this restaurant?" "Well I'm sure Miles anofunga kuti ndinodanana nemuridzi werestaurant." "Handiti uri kuona manje. Ukavaudza zvese zvekuenda kusouth nekuti izvezvi hausi kuuni vanonzwisisa cause hauna kudya mari yacho, you have something going on. Inini ndakaudza mai vangu kuti mama 'handisi kuuni ini, restaurant iya yamunofunga kuti ndomandiri kuitira attachment ndeyangu,' vanofara chaizvo. Vaudze pachiri netime," Amanda akadaro achisimuka achienda kufridge yaRutendo. "Inini hangu ndakudzokera kubasa time ndodzafamba." After finding nothing worthwhile, Amanda had settled for flavoured ice. "Handisi kukusvitsa kure. Handiti wanzwa kuti I'm expecting vanhu. Not forgetting kuti soon ndinenge ndodiwa mukitchen," Rutendo akadaro achibvisa the apron she hadn't bothered to remove. "Usakanganwe, make sure pane desk pakati penyu when you tell them, " Amanda akadaro ndokutora handbag rake. "Or unovapa that layered smoothie, zvinonoka kuregister kuti uri kuvaudza kuti you own the restaurant and kuuniversity wakangoenda first semester uri freshman chete." "Chinyarara iwe ndingatokanganwa kuti isecret ndakazongovaudza chokwadi, " Rutendo akadaro achivhura door kuti vabude. Rutendo froze by the door sezvo padoor ipapo, panga pakamira mama vake naMiles. *End of chapter 1* Don't forget to follow, react and comment. @blu yue❤️
