Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17
PETER
Today’s date is 20 July 1940 which marks my second week in this uncomfortable country. South Africa might be a beautiful place but the conditions here wasn’t really suitable for me.
First of all, there’s the intense heat that bothers me all the time, the natives don’t really feel the intense heat but as for me, It affects me badly. My skin sometimes turns red due to excessive sun burn, so I began to stay indoors to avoid the excruciating heat.
Secondly there’s the mosquitoes. Avoiding the terrible heat was easy but the mosquitoes were hard to avoid ; luckily my father had took preventive measures to avoid getting sick by the mosquitoes bites.
Lastly, There’s the endless moaning sounds of our neighbors having s-x at night. There’s nothing wrong in having a s–xual intercourse, I too crave and enjoy it as well but too much of it can be annoying and tiring. Hearing all these sounds gave me quite an headache but as time went by I sound got used to it.
But despite all this issues, I prefer my stay here in South Africa than England. This country might not measure up to the standards of England but life here was quiet and peaceful. There was nobody here to disturb my peace and the best part of all this is that I’m a free as bird in the sky.
Although the real reason behind my stay in South Africa was because of that beautiful young African lady I met on the first day of arrival.
How could ever forget that lovely face and that sweet innocent name… Marian! Every time I call out her name in my mind, my heart tingles with excitement. Ever since we parted ways I’ve been infatuated about her, counting and hoping on the day that we would meet again. There was nothing I looked forward to than crossing paths with her once again but as Fate would have it, we did meet.
I was sitting in the house on this wonderful day sheltering myself from the sun. There was nothing else for me to do and Dad’s business was nothing but a bore. So as I got bored with sitting alone in the villa, I decided to go out and explore the neighborhood.
The Sun was fully bright that afternoon so I sheltered myself with a big sun hat and some shades, I also wore some light clothes to avoid building up some sweat.
After wandering on the streets of Johannesburg for some minutes, I saw the lovely Marian right across the other side of the streets walking elegantly. Although she’s a servant, she had this grace and aura of a woman with higher status. Seeing her made me freeze instantly as if I was being hypnotized.
Without delay, I crossed over to the other side of the road and began to follow her. I really wanted to meet and talk to her but I had no idea what to say to her. After following her for some minutes, Marian entered a provision and I was left standing outside the place ; Peeping at someone was quite weird but that was I did in that moment , I stood by the window and began to peep at Marian while she was making some purchases. My heart was telling me to stop acting like a moron and go talk to her but my body was too scared to make a move. Time was running out and this was the perfect opportunity to talk to Marian, It took a while before I finally overcame my nervousness but just as I was about to enter the shop, it was also at that time that Marian was about to take her leave, so as soon as we both got to the door, we jammed into each other just as we did when we met.
