Crying Blood (Bleeding Tears) - Season 1 - Episode 15

☆☆☆

MASHUDU
I cannot begin to explain the way I am feeling right now. Stan forced himself on me. I know we are
together but I was an unwilling participant. All this time that we have been together I have never
seen this side of Stan. He told me everything that I thought were my secrets that were known only
by me. I have no one on my side right now. I miss Les and I know he wouldn’t have done this to
me.

Stan: Wena neh you better be a submissive girlfriend otherwise you will get a repitation of last
night
I just looked at him without saying a word.When did I get here? I always give sex away not to be
forced into it.

He walked out and I took my phone and called Les.I was shattered.I was crying so bad.
Les: What do you want?
Me: I’m.. .I.. ..

I cried so hard I couldn’t control it..It was hard and really depressing.Never have I thought I would
go through this.

Les: hey..Whays wrong? What happened?
Me: He.. he for forced m.m.m.
Les: Camt you calm down first.Go and drink water before and call me when you are calm.
I hanged up.Im just glad that he was understanding.Im glad that he is gonna be there for
me.Atleast I won’t be alone on this.Someone I love and care about will be there for me.We might
even rekindle our love.

RUDZANI
Boss… what could I possibly say about that man. I am terrified of what he could do to me. I am
even scared to leave the house. On the other hand I have been having this uneasy feeling. I just
miss my siblings so much. I can’t help but wonder how they are treated or what they are going through. Les walked in whilst I was still deep in my thoughts…how i love this man of mine.

Les: Hey baby. How are you?
Me: I am good thanks. You look a little disturbed. What is happening?
Les: Nothing I can’t handle my dollface.
Me: If you say so
I let him off lightly because I was not in the mood for an argument

*

It was early in the morning the following day.Les was really acting weird since he came back
yesterday.All he does is zone out and be in his thinking mood..Whatever it is he has got to cut it
out because I don’t know him like this.Im used to my forever bubbly Man.
Me: Whatever is bothering you just know that it’s affecting me aswel because I’m not used to the
quiet you.

LESLEY
I honestly didn’t want to stress my lady about the decision I need to make. I cannot stop thinking
about this woman. What will happen if her husband one day walks in on us? I could do this
because I trust my game but honestly I’m not up for it. I’d rather lose this job because this woman
is old and I don’t know where she has been or what she has done. I value my life. I will deal with
her the next time I see her..

When I was about to console her my phone rang.It Mashudu’s other number which I forgot to
block.My aim was to tell her off but she was crying like a child.She sounded so hurt so I couldn’t
just brush her off because i have known her for the longest time.I know her pain.I know all that she
has been through in life.I was even surprised that after all we have been through in life she would
do that to me..

#FLASHBACK
I was going to campus when I saw her along side a road crying.She was really beautiful to be
doing that to herself in public.

Me: Hey beautiful.
She cried even worse.I sat next to her until she was calm.

Me: Come with me..You can’t be here crying.
Shudu: I…I don’t know you.
Me: I know but I can be of help.

I turned back to my bachelor flat with her.I didn’t even know why I was helping.

When we got to the flat i gave her water that had sugar.We sat there in total silence.
Shudu: It started when I was only 15.My father was abusing my mom..He would even rape her
infront of me.When my mom got tired of all the pain after years she committed suicide and that’s
when my father decided to turn me into his wife.He took my innocence and kept on doing that to
me for as long as I can remember.When he lost his job he turned me into a money making
machine.He would tell his friends about me and they would sleep with me then give him the
money.2weeks back one of them refused to use protection and he infected me with a genital warts and I’m pregnant with his child.I don’t know what to do.I asked my father for money so that I can
go to the doctor but he refused.At this point in my life I feel like commuting suicide.I feel like I was
only brought here to suffer.

#BACK TO THE PRESENT DAY
From that day on I cared for her.I took her to the doctor.She even aborted the baby even though I
discouraged her against it but she said she won’t be able to live with a child I know I won’t love. It’s
better I abort that bring him or her to suffer like I did in the hands of my father.I took care of her
with my pocket money..I even sent her to a nursing school because all she had was a matric
certificate..She is now a qualified nurse whom I don’t even know now.All she cares about is money
just like how her father loved money..
I kept stealing glances at Rudzi.
Rudzi: Do you have something to say? Because of the way you keep stealing looks at me I
suspect that you are feeling guilty of something.It either has to do with your mood since yesterday
or it’s that call you just received.
Me: No babe it’s nothing of such.

NARRATED
AT RUDZANI’S HOME
Ipfi was sitting on the bed and thinking about what had happened the day before. She was still
shocked. In the midst of her thoughts she saw her father standing in front of her. She didn’t know
what to do. She was terrified because she knew what was about to happen.
Dad: Ipfi be a good girl and come to daddy.
Ipfi stood frozen with tears streaming down her face. She walked slowly towards her father
shutting everything…

Dad: Daddy is gonna buy you sweets.Dont cry..
He repeated what he did to her yesterday but today he fingered her hard.She flinched in pain.

When he left she could finally sleep her sorrows away.

ETHAN
I was in my office just going through a client’s file when Stan walked in.
Me: Wow cousy I didn’t expect to see you here.

Stan: I wasn’t planning on coming here either but I had to deliver a message directly
I swallowed hard.
Stan: You see E I’m someone who doesn’t take betrayal simple.Stop f-----g with my woman or
else it won’t be nice.You see this ever smiling and sweet Stan is all an act.There is an arrogant
man behind all this.Dont dare wake up the beast in me.Dont try me or else I will f--k you up.Thats
not a threat it’s a promise.Family or not I will send you to your early grave and still attend your funeral with tears on my face but joy in my heart.Keep your hands to yourself bro.

With that he walked out.He was talking with a serious face and I believed somehow.I wonder who
told him
