OE GAPA LE NAMANE/DINAMANE


OE GAPA LE NAMANE/DINAMANE

By Rebecca Masina

These days it has come to a point where almost every female has a child which a relationship with the other parent has failed or maybe because of certain circumstances like death came.

The elders will tell you if you love him/her you must also be able to love and accept his/her kids unconditionally. You simply cannot compete with a parent and his/her kids because there it is a sure thing that you will never win not even by a long shot. Again you cannot tell him/her to choose between you and his/her kids.

Situation will be what if he decides to merry her with her kids? Would the kids also use his surname? And if so what about the culture? How will it work out as people of tradition will say that every kid has to be introduced to their ancestors? When they are doing that to their biological kids what will happen to the one who came with the mother and what if she or he also needs rituals to be performed for him or her while she or he is using the surname that his or her mother currently use which is her marital surname?

Sometimes turn to have a problem accepting their parent’s new partner and makes it difficult for a parent which it will end up as if she or he hates the kids. That is why taking another women’s or men’s kids its difficult at the end reports of hatred and abuse arise.

Ho e gapa ledi namane it is not easy at all. It takes guts and again the love you have for your partner. Things we do for love.

 

 

 

YOU ARE THE ISSUE AM TALKING ABOUT


You are the issue am talking about

By Rebecca Masina

Some people like to claim their nonsense on other people. They don’t want to be wrong but always right and always winning. Well that cannot happen every day, not in my world.

I have been living in one deep dark hole that I always kept quiet and looked at everything that is happening and also watch everything as it happens in front of me and do nothing because I am avoiding noise from the empty tins.

I, myself am not a saint but please just because I cannot say a thing to defend myself it doesn’t mean that I am wrong in anything. Given a chance to speak, yes I would speak. But well since that there is too much noise and you only want your voice to be the only one to be listened to, then I shall keep being in that deep dark hole. But I promise you the day I come out, you will not even utter a word as it will be my chance to speak. Yes continue doing as you please. As they say every dog has its day.

Truth be told I regret every single moment

 I am not pissed, angry or anything but I am only saying what is on my heart and mind. It is wise to think before you take any action so that you don’t later regret anything. It is usually hard for me to utter my feelings to anyone especially where there is lot of judgments. I am not perfect. I am still learning this life. Allow me to be me. Are you not tired enough that you have already taken my pride away? What more do you want as I don’t think I poses anything of value but life. Or is it my life that you want to yourself? Well that is all up to God to decide.

Take whatever you want from me but hey life is only owned by the Mighty One and I know that one day He will hear my prayers, my cries and Answer me. All things come in the right times. Am not in rush because it is Gods call not mine. Take everything but my soul only belongs to God.

 

WE WILL PROPOSE


WE WILL PROPOSED

Aichii ke neng kemo shebile this guy?  I tried by all means to get his attention but luck was not on my side at all. Years went and in my mind I though no this person does not see me the way I see him. Okile wa bona o shwa oe kepela ka motho empa yena a sego mo wena.That breaks the hearts of so many people.

This days when you need or want something you go for it ka nama. Don’t send someone. So it happened that I did not have the guts to confront him and tell him how I feel about him. Honestly what I had and still have is real. I then sent my so trusted friend to help me with the issue that has been troubling me for years. Well for two years and few months.

Few days later only to find out that they are an item. Hehehe that killed me as if I lost something valuable to my life. Well after all I’ve learned that sa mogwera ke saka lol. Joking.

I would make small chats with this guy but hey gwa pala. It was like he was so ignorant or he had someone already. Pelo ne ebaba those days yoh. Leleme le tatagane. That is when I felt how hard it is for some guys to approach girls. For once I was in their shoes.

Time went and hey we grew up and life became life as it is. The other moved and hey, I thought we were never to see each other and even if we do then it would be on that greeting level and nothing else.

Little did I know that guy was also feeling the same way it was just that thing called *gwababa* lol well we both have it ke.
