Chapter 5: The hurtful words
Currently when Hardin was sleeping his phone started to ring.
He woke up tiredly and picked up the phone.
"How was your night?" The female voice was heard from the phone.
"Good, what about yours?Was I in your dream?" Hardin asked with a smile on his bed.
"I didn't even dream either, do you have any free time?" The woman speaking was Tessie. She was just speaking in her room when she was at the window standing looking outside.
"Yes, I got free time" Hardin replied.
"I got free time also and I.... Let's meet in the library" Tessie said.
"OK, let's make it around 3pm on the afternoon and have some lunch first" Hardin added.
"Fine" Tessie replied and she cut off the phone.
At the moment Hardin heard a sound of the car from outside.
"This punk Andile" Hardin said to himself.
It's true Andile was just dropping from his cat and went in.
Andile came in and went directly to his room and took his laptop and opened a certain file of 2005 with an article of bomb accident.
Before opening the file he took his phone and called someone.
The phone was picked after some few seconds.
"I need the location of James, he can have a lot to prove before the court" Andile said on phone.
"I'm about, give me some time I think something like a week" The man from the phone replied.
"It's has been a long time since I was left in the car without anyone caring about me, I lost my whole family, my father. I lost also my mother, my sister and my brother too. And I don't know if they alive. I can't wait for it anymore. I need to put everyone down who destroyed
my family " Andile said emotional on phone.
" I will make it soon " The man from the phone replied.
Andile cut off the phone and continued with his laptop.
It was around 2 pm Hardin had already prepared himself and he came out from the room, as he moved out he met with Andile.
"It's weekend... You got a date or what else?" Andile asked while his hands have closed.
"I got something to work for and uuhhh.. I think I have to leave. I have no more time" Hardin replied while checking his watch..
Hardin made his step and went outside to his car and left.
After Hardin left Andile took his phone and called Tessie.
Soon the phone was picked up.
"It is weekend and your car is alright" Andile said on phone.
"But I got something to do today and let make it tomorrow" Tessie replied.
"But it is your car and.... You are so weird" Andile said.
"It is so urgent and I think we talk later" Tessie replied and cut off the phone.
Andile nodded his head and smiled faintly.
He raised his phone and called someone.
Around 2 pm past 30, Hardin was already in the hotel waiting for Tessie.
After a while while Hardin was waiting he saw Tessie coming with red dress, her moves made Hardin stuck at Tessie.
He suddenly awoke from deep
"For how long have you been here?" Tessie asked with a sweet smile.
"I have just arrived recently, you look so marvelous" Hardin spoke while looking at her stealthily.
"Ooh, thanks... You look good too" Tessie said with a faint smile.
"I think we should order something, right?" Hardin said.
At five more tables stayed a man with black cloth seems like was spying them, the man put himself close to their conversation.
They ordered food and were served.
"Who was that woman in your office yesterday?" Tessie asked while looking directly to his eyes.
"She is my family friend, we quarreled some days past and she needs me back" Hardin replied.
"She needs you back, right? How" Tessie asked suspiciously.
"She needs me to be on her side, let's talk about other things" Hardin said with taking a spoon to his mouth.
"Alright but... Uh don't mind" Tessie said while sparkling her eyes.
"You got me, right? and I can be more than you need me to be" Tessie said.
Just when Tessie was speaking a text entered in his phone.
Hardin read it and got shocked a little bit by he pretended as if he was okay.
After having a lunch together the were just having more conversations.
Time passed by and it was around 8 pm.
Hardin and Tessie moved to comfortable lounge where people danced slowly.
They moved to an empty seats and got seated.
"Why your face changed recently and I really don't understand your mood right now" Tessie asked Hardin in a low voice.
"I'm just cool and..... I got something to say to you" Hardin said and stopped suddenly his face turning very cold.
"Move on, I'm just listening" Tessie replied attentively.
"You know Andile, right?" Hardin said and stopped.
"Just say it" Tessie said while paying more attention.
"Andile... I really don't know how he knew that we are together right now but he said to say to you that he is in love with you" Hardin said and swallowed a lump of saliva.
"Oohh, but... are you serious with that!?" Tessie asked while her face turning unusual with the situation.
"I'm serious" Hardin replied.
"Are you okay with that?" Tessie asked again.
"Yep, I'm okay" Hardin replied with a compelling smile.
"Then call him first. I want him to hear want I want to say to him" Tessie said while observing him very close.
At the moment a man with black clothes was just taking pictures of them.
But there was another man wore in white was taking pictures to that man wore in black.
"Excuse me.. I'm going to the washroom" Hardin said and he stood up and moved towards the washroom.
Hardin entered in the toilet but he just stood in front of mirror looking at himself.
He looked at himself while touching his face.
He looked himself for a while while breathing sharply.
He stayed in the toilet almost five minutes and he moved out.
He moved to the table and found Tessie sleeping on the table.
"But how comes....?" Hardin said to himself and raised her head up.
Tessie was seemed like she was drunk.
Hardin raised Tessie and moved out of the hotel.
