Suicides as a common head injury or problem
It was on a Saturday afternoon and very hot. When Given was sent to the soccer shop. To bet on a few soccer matches and lotto numbers. He had been given twenty Rands as his transport money. He had decided that he was not going to catch a taxi. He was going to walk from where he lives to the soccer shop. There are three soccer shops in the city he lives in. The nearby soccer shop would be at the city’s shopping center. The second soccer shop was not that far from the one in the city’s shopping center. It is located the city’s junction outlets. The biggest soccer shop would be the betting store at the city’s mall. On that particular day he had planned to use a short way.
Which was using the bush in the city he lived in to his advantage. He then left his home, traveling to the second soccer shop. On his way he had planned to stop and smoke a cigarette fast. He had reached the same usually supermarket he smokes cigarettes at. This time it was hot so him smoking the cigarette. Whilst walking in the sun was not the best idea. He had stopped for a few minutes and smoked his cigarette. When he was done smoking the cigarette. He then continued walking to the second soccer shop. He had arrived at the last street near the fencing separating the bush and the houses in the city. That is when Given met a certain Great Zimbabwean lady. The lady had carried her son on her back!
She wore a certain lamp or cloth that showed that she was married. When Given and the lady had passed each other. The lady kept on looking back at Given. And Given also did look back once and found the lady looking at him. That is when he had spit mucus on the floor. Used one of his foot and to cover the mucus he had spit. He did that with the intention that the lady would stop looking at him. As he went to the second soccer shop to place four to five bets. Indeed Given did reach the second soccer shop. He had forgotten about the lady he met on his way to the soccer shop. He placed his bets and had them paid off. He only took the receipts received just after you bet.
He put the receipts in his pocket and started with his journey. Which was him travelling back home to deliver the receipts. This time he had never changed his route. He travelled home using the same route. He took when he went to the soccer shop. He then again met the same lady just as he exited the bush. She was still carrying her son and wearing the same clothes. Given then did the same thing, he did when he went to the soccer shop. He spit mucus on the ground and covered it. The lady’s reaction did not mean a thing to Given as he did not consider how the lady felt. But wanted the lady to stop coming out of his home. Every time she see’s him going to or coming back from the soccer shop.
He had totally forgotten what he had done to the lady. He had arrived home and gave the betting receipt to the owner. He was paid for going to the soccer shop to bet. He then enjoyed spending his money for the rest of the day. On the next morning, Given’s mother had read a post on Facebook. Stating that the lady he met on the previous day. Committed suicide. Given was not interested in listening to his mother. Only got to listen to her as soon as she mentioned. That the same lady had dumped his son at the, ‘Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate’. Then went to Fourways Mall, just to commit suicide. The post states that she jumped off the mall’s rooftop. He immediately remembered what he had done.
When she met and saw the lady looking him. Early in the morning on the previous day. He was sad and felt guilty, as he blamed himself for the lady’s death. Wondered what would happen with the lady’s son. Would he ever want to know what killed her mother. From that day on wards Given had refused to travel using the same route. He believed he had to stay away as he is the main reason why the lady killed herself. He might had stayed quiet and kept the incident as a secret for a few days. Till he was trapped in a situation similar to the situation the lady put her in. It was in the afternoon when Given had went to the nearby supermarket. When all of a sudden as he came back from the supermarket.
When a certain skinny, yellow-bone lady stood in front of him. Making sure that Given does indeed notice her. He passed the lady like a nobody. He had never met or spoken to the lady before. There was no need for him to even think about the lady. He had seen the lady’s face and can never forget it. He went back home and avoided the matter. I mean in just a few minutes he had totally forgotten. That he met this certain lady when he came back from the local supermarket. Evening and night passed, meaning in the afternoon of the second day. When Given went to the local supermarket and came back again! He met the same skinny, yellow-bone lady again.
This time there was something different about her. Her facial appearance was different from the lady. He had met on the previous day. That is when it clicked to him that they were twins. He immediately did what he did with the lady. Who had killed herself and left her son to suffer. Given spit mucus directly onto the surface and then had it covered. He did that as he passed the lady for the second time. Without greeting or speaking to her and he never ignored the fact. That the two ladies he had seen within the two days were twins. Given’s next-door neighbor heard news that one of the twins had committed suicide. Meaning one of the twins, went back home in Kwa-Zulu Natal.
And immediately jumped off the rooftop of a building with a high altitude. The neighbor had mentioned that just after they came to visit the city they lived in. Within the past three to four days. One of the twins killed herself and it was very hard for the other twin. To continue living life like nothing happened. Given soon started blaming himself on why had the two ladies he met. Killed themselves and what should he do. And mainly why would she kill herself after she met Given. Were the three females really that disgusting or knew something about him. Something he did not know a thing about! He then sought to find someone that can help him. As he needed to speak to a therapist or a family relative. That might help him forget that he ever saw the three ladies. He might had also wished that he could have all the money in the world.
To support the lady’s son till he is old enough. For Given to tell him what had occurred. Given had to live the rest of his life afraid. Of who had seen him and that the community might want to revenge. For the death of the two ladies who had committed suicides.
THE END
