There we were, chilling in the lounge watching an interesting movie called "Why Did I Get Married"… appropriate title if you ask me. Everyone was glued to the screen until Lincoln and Kelebogile stumbled into the house disrupting the peace. Kelebogile was in tears. Nobody knew why but she went into the kitchen and Lincoln went straight up to his room. I followed Kelebogile and asked her what the matter was. She told me that Lincoln was calling off their wedding. I was a tad bit relieved but I also felt sorry for Kelebogile because I thought she was a wonderful person who actually deserved to be married. I mixed up some sugar water for her and left her in the kitchen.
I went back into the lounge to join everyone else, but they were not moved by what had just happened. It was evident to me from that day that my housemates preferred not to be involved in other people's affairs. I couldn't help it though, so I went to Lincoln's bedroom to find out what the matter was. When I went up, I looked back to see if anyone was looking. I don't even know why I did that, maybe it's because I was expecting someone to follow me. KG sat there looking at me with so much anger. I wasn't bothered because he had a girlfriend that was keeping him company.
I knocked on Lincoln's door, he asked who it was, I told him and then he opened. As soon as he closed his door he grabbed me and hugged me. I didn't know how to react so I hugged him back and that's when he started crying. It was the first time I had ever seen Lincoln cry. He looked at me and told me that he could not go through with the engagement because he realized that he never stopped loving me. I let him go and went to stand by his window. I looked at the trees and the flowers that were starting to bloom so beautifully. He came from behind and held me by my waist. He asked me to admit that I was still in love with him. I would have loved to do that but when I thought about what had happened with KG and Thebe and the pain that Kelebogile was in, I pushed him away immediately and ran for the door. It was true, I never did stop loving Lincoln but I had to come to terms with the fact no matter how hard I would have wanted us to work out, we never would because he didn't see things through my eyes. Kelebogile on the other hand was damaged by what Lincoln was doing so I took it upon myself to back off and let things be as they would.
I went back to the lounge to join everyone else. KG gave me those evil looks again. I was not bothered. I had even forgotten about our moment. He then stood up to declare a smoke break. Nobody listened to him. He angrily stood up and went out by himself. He slammed the door so hard that we were all frightened but that movie was so interesting that nobody actually cared to move. Sihle and I looked at each other; it was at this point that I realized that he was thinking the same thing I was when it came to KG's actions that night. I winked at him. KG was clearly on the verge of coming out.
Gavin seemed not to understand what was happening so I called him and together with Sihle, we all went up to my bedroom. We then started updating on him on things that happened that night. We told him about KG and I, Lincoln calling off the wedding and KG catching feelings. He was so excited. Gavin never really liked KG because he felt that he was living a double life. "Wait! Lincoln was engaged?" he asked. Well, now you know what we have to deal with all the time….
