“ The parking space was empty so I parked,” he says and continues walking. “ I was waiting to park, surely you saw me there,” I shout after him. He looks at me briefly and keeps walking. What? No!! You’ve got to be kidding me! What the heck? I have two missed-calls? I forgot to turn my phone volume on when I left work… I’ll just wait here for him to drive out so I can park, and it’s just outside Nando’s where I’m meeting the captain. Oh lucky me! That guy is walking to his car. The downside, getting parking at Kim Park during lunchtime, it’s a nightmare! It’s good that we are meeting at a restaurant today because I’m tired of the stares I get every time I enter that police station. I’ve done this trip over and over again but it never helps. I feel exhausted and angry as I leave the hospital. “ No my friend, it won’t take long, just signing for a restraining order and that’s it,” I say. “ Do you want me to come with you?” he asks.
I need him to prevent him from showing up, not make him go away when he’s already shown up because anything can happen in the 15 minutes it takes driving from the police station to my house. All he’s done is tell me to call him the next time the fool shows up at my doorstep. To be honest, I don’t think he’s done anything or is doing anything to help me.
I have that appointment with the Captain today. He’s never had to go through what I’ve been going through for the past year. “ No, that’s not true, it was your brains and hard work that got you here,” he says. “ He says he made me, that without him I’d still be waiting tables at Wimpy,” I say.Ī part of me believes that, but I was always ambitious, I was never going to end up waiting tables in Mafikeng, I always knew what I wanted. He, of all people, knows how hard I’ve tried. What does he mean? He knows I’ve tried everything. “T his ridiculous, there has to be something you can do,”
