LUYANDO: EPISODE 15
BOOK 3

'What do you think of Angela?', Tyson asked Derrick as they were heading back to Derricks place. Tyson and Derrick were surprised to have known that Angela was still living in Tyson's house. Tyson thought she had gone back due to the circumstances but she didn't. 'She is a tough one, I give her that', Derrick answered and went on. 'How is she even sustaining herself?'. 'Life in the city is difficulty as it is and for a pregnant woman, that is extra difficulty'. Tyson was lost in thoughts and felt irresponsible. He told Derrick that he had to go back in the evening and talk to Angela.

'What is it with you two?', Mr. Mutale, Luyando's boss asked Angela and Luyando. 'Luyando, how can you even think of doing that?'. 'And you Angela, was that screaming really necessary?'. 'Mr. Mutale she hurt me', Angela sobbed. 'I only pulled her, I didn't hurt her in anyway she's lying', defensively said Luyando. Mr. Mutale looked at the girls and told them to sort out their differences, otherwise it would cost them their jobs. 'If this continues, I will have to send you to Humans Resource employee relations. By the way What happened between you two? Angela, isn't Luyando who recommended you here? ', asked Mr. Mutale before he ordered them to leave his office.

Luyando had never been in a conflict with anyone ever since she started working for the organization. That was not a finest moment and Angela's loud scream made it look worse than it was. In everyone's eyes, she scolded Angela and that was very embarrassing. 'Iam sorry if I hurt you Angela', Luyando apologized when they had knocked off. 'I understand your frustration Luyando. You think I want to get your job'. Angela said. 'It’s not that but any person in my situation would think that you have something against me. Lately you have been acting like there is something fishy between us. That is one of the reasons I pulled you like that back in the office. You were getting on my nerves honestly'. Luyando complained. After hearing Luyando talk, Angela apologized and told Luyando that, that was not her intentions and like a fool, Luyando believed her. 'And Tyson is back. He came with my brother which is strange considering the fact that Tyson beat him up'. Knowing that Tyson was back, Angela knew that Tyson had been to his place.

Josi and his grandmother patched things up but he didn't want anything to do with his grandfather. He never trusted the man so he said. His grandmother was happy as she thought that was a step towards forgiveness. She didn't want to force him into forgiving his grandfather as she knew it was hard on him, he needed time. 'How did you find yourself with that boy? what happened? His grandmother asked. Josi told her everything that happened. 'You were beaten again?' she laughed at him. 'Is it so difficulty for you to avoid a beating?'. Josi realized that in the previous two fights he had been involved in, he was beat. 'Grandmother stop, that is agitating AHH, I will beat your husband so that you witness that I can beat someone', He jokingly said. 'Isn't Luyando coming, I want to go back to Derricks, Iam sure the guys are waiting for me', 'She's probably on her way, wait a little longer', his grandmother said. Josi declined on waiting and told her that he would see Luyando the following day. 'Come back tomorrow, this is your house', his grandmother told him as she saw him leave.

Luyando couldn't stop thinking about what had happened at work. She knew she was better and smarter than that but she let Angela intimidate her. 'It will never happen again', she assured herself as she got off the bus. At the station waiting for her was Nyambe. It had been days since they last saw each other. Nyambe wanted to forget about Luyando but he couldn't despite what his mother told him. 'Nyambe how have you been?' she greeted and hugged him. 'I miss you Luyando', said Nyambe. 'You don't, you have been quiet on me since that day you picked us up with Angela. I thought you had gone out of town, I didn't want to bother you and after what you implied, I hate you', she smiled. He didn’t want to tell her that he found Angela at his mother’s place and that his mother knew about him and her. He was happy to see her because to him, that’s the only thing that mattered.

Josi got to Derricks place and found Tyson leaving to go check on Angela. Tyson told Josi that he would find him when he comes back. Tyson left Derrick and Josi waiting for the 6pm NEWS on the local channel. On his way, he saw Luyando and Nyambe walking. Apparently, Nyambe's car was been serviced so he wasn’t driving that day. Tyson remembered Nyambe from the night he left the city. He approached them as Luyando looked petrified. Nyambe recognized Tyson and was afraid when he remembered that night he was knocked out. 'I see you two are a couple now, right', Tyson said. 'NO ‘Luyando answered. 'YES', Nyambe answered. Nyambe and Luyando looked at each other as Tyson looked at them and laughed. 'Anyway its none of your business', Luyando told Tyson. 'Aren't you a wanted man?', Nyambe asked Tyson while getting his phone from his pocket. Tyson told Nyambe that if he wanted to know what was happening; he should ask Luyando. Tyson left the duo and went to his place. Luyando had nothing to tell Nyambe as she also didn't know what was happening. She only told him that he returned with her brother and was yet to hear an explanation.

Tyson got to his place and found Angela sited outside. Angela didn't see seem surprised at seeing Tyson. It was like she was waiting for him. 'You call yourself a man', she said discourteously. 'Woman, at least greet me', Tyson said. Angela was so upset with Tyson that she complained bitterly about what he put her through. She didn't even want to listen to what he had to say. 'I thought you were a responsible man Tyson but you are dense as all men'. Tyson knew that he would not go anywhere in the conversation with Angela. He told her that he would visit her the following day when she calmed down.

Leaving the compound, he met Joseph who was busy on his phone that he didn't notice Tyson. Tyson thought that Joseph's face looked familiar. He remembered that some years ago, Priscila sent him a photo of a man she was dating and that was him but he wondered what he was doing at his place. He wanted to go back in when two men stopped him. 'Excuse us sir, are you Tyson?' they asked him. 'Yes Iam Tyson, how may I help you?'. A man jumped on him from behind and slammed his face to the ground. Tyson didn't know what was happening until he saw the man putting handcuffs on him. 'You are under arrest'.

In other NEWS, some people who have been known to extort money through dubious and illegal means from citizens have been caught and the businesses they run have been closed down for investigations. Three men have been caught. At large is the man popularly known as Big Joe AKA BJ. Any information regarding his whereabouts from the public is appreciated. Josi smiled as he changed the channel and told Derrick about the NEWS. 'At least someone has done something', Derrick said.
