the only thing thats bothering me about what happened tonight is the fact that someone once tried breaking into ekhaya in the eastern cape and i was home alone...
they managed to turn off the main electric switch in the other house so when they came to knock on my door i couldnt switch on the lights
ive got a huge bass in my voice which usually gets me out of trouble so i tried bossing up when i realized i was corned by yelling “hay voetsak kulelwe apha”
i knew he knew i was alone when he said “andinaxesha lalonto, ndifuna wena mna” .
at this point he was kicking and banging on the door, but icango lasendlini nganga akudala wethu so omelele. i had faith in it but i was panicking at the same time cause ndandilele kuronta which has two windows and the door.

so anyway, i decided you know what - makunyiwe once. i stalled him by telling him ndizawvula makame. while i was looking for a knife.
the best knife i could find of the shape of a banana

i was wearing iskipa ne underwear only. i jumped out the window ran straight to the gate. looked back and there he was at the door. dark, tall.
my house ingasendleleni so i ran and a car was driving down my street - i tried stopping it for help but who would stop for a half naked stranger with a knife in his hand

anyway, luckily for me - klo mamam wasnt that far from endlini so i went there. it was around 2am.
anyway, what i wanted to say was - i rlly thought i was over that. even though i only spoke about that experience for a day and never again.
if it was this easy to trigger that same exact fear - ikhona into eOff.
