Loving Pezo

Episode 24

Pezo: what are you saying girlfriend- you are getting it all wrong. You brother and I only met
yesterday; how possible could it even be that we could be dating?

Mukuka:(cutting in) liar!!! You are lying Pezo- I have been watching you too d–n it. You think am
stupid?

Pezo: calm down please. You really don’t have to be so loud- we can talk about this- but really

Kuka – I need you to believe me when I say I have no slight idea of what you are talking about

Mukuka: I rather need you to leave Pezo. I don’t think I I can I I kind kind of betrayal anymore

Pezo: kuka?
Mukuka: (raising her voice) now!!!
It was so clear with everyone that the two were perhaps fighting. For a while… Mrs Chomba
couldn’t believe her ears as she had never heard the two quarrel so seriously as it sounded. It was only after Chisala came quickly to confirm that fact. Mrs. Chomba quickly went upstairs. She was
almost opening the door to her daughter’s room when Pezo did as she quickly excused herself
and left.

Kalima was waitin for feedback when he saw Pezo walk downstairs while wiping a tear from her
eye.

Kalima: Hey what’s going on? Are you okay?
Pezo: (avoiding his eye contact) am okay thanks. I will leave. Please do tell Mah for me.
He was helpless. He could clearly see that something was wrong and Pezo seemed broken. He
wondered what could have happened or what might have Caused them to hurt each other to that
extent. He quickly went upstairs to check on his sister and luckily the door was open and he just
went in at a point that their mother was just questioning Mukuka over what happened
Mukuka: it’s nothing mum. She and I just argued and it’s normal for friends to do so right

Mrs. Chomba: You two have never fought like that darling- what caused you to hurt each other’s
feelings

Kalima: Pezo really seemed hurt sis. What did you say to her

Mukuka: Please stay out of this Kalima. You wouldn’t understand. This is between the two of us

Mrs. Chomba: mind how you talk to you elder brother young lady… you won’t help the situation by
doing that. Can’t you see that we are just concerned about you? Pezo and you share a strong
friendship bond and

Mukuka: raising her voice again) well not any more mum. For your own information- Pezo and I
ceased being friends the moment your precious son set foot in this house.

Mrs. Chomba: Mukuka!!
She left the room and went to in her young sister’s room and sat on the bed without saying a word
to the helper who was busy folding and the clean linen.

Kalima was left speechless. Its like he never knew his own sister at all. Since the party, she was
really acting strange and he never understood or stand her for long. She was so different from her
friend Pezo and he wondered how they were able to call themselves besties with such huge
difference in character and behaviour. He Decided to check on Pezo while Mrs. Chomba decided
to follow her in Chisala’s ‘s bedroom

Mrs. Chomba: (facing the helper) excuse us please.

The helper had not even completely disappeared and Mrs. Chomba was already expressing her
disappointment on her daughter Mrs.

Chomba: since when did you decide to talk to me or you elder brother in such a manner?

Mukuka: sorry mother – (trying to leave) excuse me

Mrs. Chomba: (holding her by the hand) am still talking to you Mukuka. Have you any idea what
you just did.

Mukuka: mother please I don’t want to talk about it. I said am sorry- am sorry I hurt your son- oh is
it your supposed daughter in law Pezo?
