Its very chilling today im shivering and no amount of blanket can take away this cold,i long to be wrapped in warm tender arms and talk sweet nothing.He was in his Hotel room a 5 star One and Only Hotel that is regarded the best In Cape Town.it has breath taking sea view.
He quickly grabbed his room solo service breakfast thats how he defined his meals lately.
he was clad in tight Polo jeans that showed off his toned physique, emphasizing athletic legs and a slim waist, and they conveyed a sense of confidence and style in him,with a slim fit jersey that showed off his biceps unintentionally.He stood out in a room with his handsome looks,chocolate brown skin and a deep voice accompanied by Humilty and warmth,a rare combination.
He mumbled and grumbled he said " I cant believe and comprehend my truth that next Month i will be turning 30 without having find true love".
In as much as im feeling equipped and ready to change the world's stigma,prejudice and discrimination on mental health,i have a feeling the lonely heart syndrome in my bones will never be cured.Worse part Iven a quick relief prescription on love and care is not inverted yet.Those were silent long conversations Dr Lungelo Xaba held in his mind without any interruption.
He laughed sarcastically with a bitter laughter clenching his jaws in full frustration as
He walked straight to the Conference venue feeling enthusiastic about the empowerment they attained this week but feeling defeated emotionally by his failure to find love.
Well It was their last day on a annual Biological psychiatry conference held in Cape town Convention Centre.
Maybe you wondering why such a hot bachelor is complaining about Loneliness.
He declared previous night on his last Dinner with other Young Pyschiatric Doctors,that he is tired of all the dating apps he has been scammed by false description and lack of character traits that never fed his emotional quench,he was always met with beauty accompanied by ego and self serving humans who smelled very good and wore expensive heels with latest gadgets who were already ready to take content with a Doctor .They all laughed at him saying we have all kissed many frogs before meeting our Queens,be patient love will meet you one day and you will head over heels.
After they had lunch in the Pyschiatric conference canteen they all exchanged warm laughter and said their goodbyes while exchanging their experiences in the field and missing their families and patients who fascinate them in their work field.They have been here for a whole week.
As they headed home,they were all picked up and driven to the Cape Town International Airport by the Organised Drivers and Chaffuers depending on their Ranks.Some he highly respected as Mr,high Rank specialists and many he knew them from Varsity in Medunsa and some he met while they were studying to specialize on this faculty of Mental health in different institutions.
His colleagues some were already married but his 2 best friends who were based in East London like him, one had a private practice as a Doctor his name is Dr Luvuyo Nkabinde and the other is a business Man who ran a firms as a Chartered accountant he is Mr Siyasanga Mange.The 3 of them were still very single and on the look out with no stable love relationship but successfully so professionally.
As he boarded on the flight on time traveling to East London,he was to occupy 17A on the emergency seat next to his row he saw 3 beautiful Ladies who were seated on 17 D,E&F,he overhead them complaining that one of them is squeezing them with her hips and they laughed teasing her,he gazed at the accused,she was light in completion with big beautiful eyes,she looked sweet yet shy and she was confidently defending herself and Dr Lungelo kept on starring at them until the other friend of the accused asked to seat next to Dr and he gently nodded because the seat next to him was empty.
The Lady introduced herself as Lizzy and she disclosed that they were coming from a weekend vacation in Cape town at Camps Bay,it was her birthday yesterday.She was still excited about her trip in the middle of their chart She said "Your cologne smells amazing; it reminds me of that time i went hiking in the forest with Friends – it has a great earthy, outdoorsy feel.They both laughed he said thank you and "to be honest you dont strike me as a hiker but however i warmly accept the compliment.
In their chit chat she asked for his contact claiming she wants a healthy check out from Doctor's soft hands,he warmly laughed and gladly exchanged contacts with her saying i dont have a sugery but my childhood friend can arrange that for you.She gazed at him with affection and as a Dr he was used to such starres and unexpected affection from Ladies and in his mind he was preoccupied thinking how can
can he make this materialize without offending anyone.
Sundays are exclusively for Dr Lungelo Xaba and his childhood Best friends.His peers affectionately call him Lungs.They all grew up in Amalinda Surbub in East London and they attended Crew lower and Higher Primary together,they later went to Graeme College in Grahamstown a Boys school,they were known for grabbing all Academic awards yearly without fail,they were health concious and gym fanatics but were potato coaches as far as Sport is concerned,they were music lovers and they only watched soccer spot in the presence of their other friends,their favorite sports included Polo, Equestrian, Golf,Tennis, and Sailing,they always bragged that they have wealthy sport taste hense they always encouraged each other to study hard and live their rich life.After Matric they split to attend different Universities but their relationship was binded with chords that could not be broken.They are still inseparable.
As Adults after graduating and working.On Sunday's they rotated visits and they take turns to cook scrumptious meals or they would sometimes book at ICC Hotel a Sunday buffet lunch and they would chill.
This sunday was not different from others ,they were meeting at ICC Hotel buffet for lunch and it was Lungs turn to cook but he felt tired from his Cape Town work trip,he only arrived back on Friday night and needed rest and to focus on his Cheese boys bill was on him.
He knew he is late when Luvuyo's Black spots AMG Merc and Siyasanga Audi TT were already occupying parking,He sheepishly apologized to the gang that was already indulging on the 1st course buffet,they were all dressed in nine.Luvuyo was tall in his 6'1 metre he was wearing blue shorts and a navy golf shirt with navy takkies,he was freshly shaved with a beautiful short hair in his coffee color skin.His look was outshined by his dimples and pink lips.He has that mischievous arrogant Doctor look but he is very grounded,They warmly group hugged and Siyasanga complained of being stiffled by their taller physique,They both giggled and accused him of always bragging of owning a very tall assest down there.He laughed so hard,he was clad in his designer wear an LV golf shirt with designer wear jeans and Gucci shoes,he was 5'3 metres tall but very tall on fashion labels and sense of humor.
They immediately changed the subject to acknowledge Lung on how he looked great accusing him of "getting it all" in Cape Town from the hot Pyschiatric nurses in the conference.
He quickly defended himself that not iven a drop in the ocean of s*x,instead he came back feeling more dry and lonely.They worryingly laughed at him and they all catched up on their personal and business life while enjoying a well cooked buffet that had a Roasted beef,A chef's special mutton stew and the smoked chicken that was Siyasanga's favorite,in their converse they were complimenting each other for being on their A game at work as all three were driving sleek cars and owned lavish apartments in expensive areas in East London while under 30.Although they all admitted that its tough in the outside world its the dog eat dog.They were standing tall and still swimming without sinking.
Suddenly Lungs call rang and he immediately recognized the name its Lizzy from the flight,
HE answered her and told her he is having lunch with his 2 Besties and she disclosed that she is not far from them she is at Windmill they were drabbing Ice cream and she is with her 2 friends,
He excitedly ordered them to come over to say Hi to them.
He quickly briefed his friends about his new female Friends that he met on the Flight to East London and he told them that the caller is really stunning he said "if she wanted to be Miss South Africa she could take that crown with ease " and Siyasa immediately announced that opposite attract doesnt apply to him,in his short physique he can do without a tall outstanding girl ,his ego is everything to him and Luvuyo was up to the "Miss Venezuela" challenge.They soon arrived and it was 3 beautiful girls.
To Lungs suprise the 3rd one was not the one on the flight that day.They all made introductions and they sat like couples.Lizzy came with her 2 beautiful who looked like they walked from a Magazine,all 3 glad in spring colors as it was already September and they had long weaves and you can tell they are aware of their beauty.
The room temperature rised with warmth and the atmosphere was pleasant as they all could hold brainy and refreshing conversation and you could tell THE girls had manners and were well groomed.
Siyasanga asked did they meet in Modelling they agreed but they disclosed they did it part time as they were all working in the Corporate world and they declared they are still single and its complicated.
Doctor Lungs told them he is happy their pathes crossed on Friday however if he may ask *where is the Chubby light skin girl with big eyes?*
Lizzy clumsly responded with her hand loosely updating other Girls that he is asking about Siphesihle Mazwi ,She said "ooh man she is a budging singer,on Sundays she perfoms at Hemming ways with her jazz band,the other Friend echoed that she loves singing and unfortunately its not easy to break through in her Industry there's so much competition.
Lungs nodded and he invited his childhood best friends to join him next week to go and watch their new Friend singing ,Lizzy without a blink said "I will also join you next week and I will tell her that we will all come to support her.
Luvuyo agreed to go anytime as long Miss Venezuela Lizzy will be there,she nervously laughed and said "im Friends with Dr Lungs and Dr Lungs said in response " he is the one i recommend to do your check up,she said are you not able to check me up yourself Doc?
All eyes waited for his response.
Finding love involves a personal journey of self-care, putting yourself out there, and cultivating genuine connections with others. It requires patience and an openness to new people and experiences, focusing on building a foundational relationship with yourself first. Love is not just a feeling but something you build through mutual effort, respect, and compatibility,you must be authentic and learn to nurture the relationships that are important to you.
Its very unfortunate that Lizzy is not part of the romantic love i hope to achieve but a key connection into meeting my real true love.I will have to respond gentle to her question and not push her away in the process, Dr Lungelo Xaba in his silent moment before he responded to her those were his thoughts.
After a deep sigh he held Miss Lizzy Khuzwayo by hand and he gently said:"Ofcouse Miss Venezuela (a nickname she was given by Dr Luvuyo for her outstanding beauty) I can do your pyshical examination anytime,its very unfortunate i dont have a private practice i work for Different Mental Hospitals for now,however My Bestie can check you out,If by any chance he acts unapropriately he will have to deal with me.Dr Luvuyo quickly responded with arrogance He said" let me borrow you my surgery as in now and you can examine her all you like.Ive seen Miss qUniverse in my surgery Miss Zozibini Tunzi i dont deal with wanna be's,his friend Siyasanga laughed hard he said "Dont worry Miss Venezuela his saving his face,Zozi is his crush.
They all laughed at his bruised ego and they continued with warm charts from current affairs to upcoming shows,they later exchanged contact's and gigglles were the order of THE day.
The week went by as normal and everyone was well focused in their jobs,the only person who kept on reminding his Friends about their Jazz afternoon session at Hemming ways Hotel was Dr Lungs and the cheese boys were looking forward to the fun ahead.
Dr Lungs woke up in a very good mood this beautiful Sunday.He was looking forward to a chill session with his Besties and new found friends also he was only left with 2 weeks before he celebrate his 30th birthday he was feeling hopeful,he made himself an Omellette,greek salad and a home made orange juice.He has been going to the gym THE whole week this week to strengthen his biceps and to nicely tone his body.
He walked around naked in His Beautiful House at Bunkers Hill Estate in a sea shaw in a Coastal Home that has a stunning sea view.The estate has a tight security.
Many coastal homes have no neighbours and are not overlooked, which meant a lazy soak in the tub surrounded by ocean was his favorite moment .He had wide window open,He enjoyed his naked walks with only wild animals like Monkeys,Zebras as his uninvited audience.
After he finished up with his house cores,he took a cold bath to avoid sweating on his big day .He shaved nicely and He opened his wadrobe closet and took out a crisp,well-fitting white shirt with dark wash jeans to create a simple yet effective look. Adding a statement belt, sleek watch and minimal sunglasses to elevate this smart-casual style without being overly formal.He wore his earth scent and he felt very handsome.He negotiated his good self to bring his best character on board.
He took out his favorite sports car his Range Rover sport in a gold sleek color with its high performance and mascular exterior he was ready to go.
He was already there at 1:30pm and the chill jazz session was starting at 2pm.While seating and ordering Whisky and Cashews snack ,He saw his dream girl Siphesihle in a white crispy shirt dress with A line buttons,she wore her braids down with a minimal make up,in glossy lips ,small gold earings and in a comfortable femine white and gold blinging takkies and across her shoulder she had a sling bling bag .He could smell her from afar,she was having short rehearsals with her band.He shyly waved at her, unfortunately her eyes were closed as she was in deep notes on their sound check.
He was disturbed by his Cheese boys who came in bursting in noise and they were casually dressed and in his shock they came in with their casual girlfriends..They warmly exchanged greetings and he had asking eyes on the boys for bringing their dates on,Dr Luvuyo responded whispering he said" i want Miss Venezuela to see my class of women,i date in THE medical field and i date beauty with brains" he was eyerolling with a straight face.
Talking of the devil she came in with her 2 beautiful friends he brought last time,Nandi and Bongi..Pleasant greetings were exchanged although it was awkward because they thought they were on date with the Cheeseboys who instead brought their girlfriends .Only Dr Lungs was single on the table.
Miss Venezuela aka Lizzy went to seat next to Dr Lungelo Xaba and he hugged her and they all ordered food,Mr Siyasanga quickly told the table that Dinner tab is on him.
It was a buffet with different meats.Duck and Crocodile were THE chef special offer on the menu. They were 8 on the table and they all clapped in aprecciation of Siya's offer.
Siyasanga in good moof asked when is our new Friend coming in,Lizzy responded that "she is scheduled for 3pm and she cautioned that they should enjoy the band and not have high expectations,she is an upcoming fat singer"
Siyasanga responded and said " one thing about Big girls they have pipes and to date he has never seen a big girl who cant sing".
DR Lungs smiled and he couldn't wait for her session.On the jazzy chill session
2 other upcoming bands played each for 30 minutes and they were all jolly and dancing on this table and they were drinking expensive booze and the tab was open by Siya.
Finally THE queen of the moment arrived and she took the microphone and introduced her self as Siphesihle Msawuli the aspiring Jazz and Afro soul singer and she introduced her band Ikhwezi
She said she is going to mesmerize the Audience with a beautiful song titled " All my life i prayed for you" she disclosed that this is her own composition song and for 2 weeks she and her band they have been trying to perfect it.She loudly said Sunday gang enjoooooy .everyone clapped in anticipation
Her beautiful eyes in her light skin,her big curves and thin waistline and well proportioned breast,her soft yet powerful voice captured everyone in the room,She sounded more like an Angel and she was wearing a smile that captivated the Audience yet she looked shy.effortlessly she reached high notes and touched low and deep notes that drove the Audience crazy.
Dr Luvuyo quickly shouted she must get out of here she is are an International standard singer,they all agreed and Bongi and Nandi echoed him saying she needs a big break.Lizzy was quiet on her compliments and she was busy flirting with Dr Lungelo Xaba.
After her performance Dr Lungelo Xaba excused himself and asked to go and greet the band,Lizzy was ready to accompany him, he politely declined and asked to go himself.
He quickly went backstage and he shouted Siphe siphe,she looked back and saw him.
She warmly exchanged her greetings and professionally handshaked his hand and said Hello Dr Lungelo im glad YOU came to support me with your friends.Lizzy told me you guys were coming to support me.
He said "Hi Siphesihle,Im happy to see you again.With his eyes fulled with love and affrection he said from the 1st day i saw you in the flight *I want you in my life*
I immediately felt vulnerable and i fear rejection and yet i am proud of myself for finding guts to tell Miss Msawule how i feel,this has been haunting me for 2 weeks and ive never told a soul about my feelings not iven my Besties knew about my feelings for her those were Dr Lungelo Xaba's thoughs as he eargely waited for her response after telling her how much he wants her.
Siphesihle was genuinely puzzled by his expression of words and she hesitantly responded and she asked " What do you mean you want me" she furthermore said you never exchanged a single word with me at the Airport,let alone asked for my contacts,you exchanged contacts with Lizzy who is certain hat you are into her,WHAT do you mean you want me?
He looked her in the eyes and gently responded and said " The first time i saw seating in the middle seat with your friends i was smitten by you, i felt the love i never knew existed,i longed that i was seating next to you that Friday but your Friend asked to join me and i agreed only because she was my link and access to you.
Last sunday when she called i was over the moon thinking she is with you and when i didnt see you,i asked about you hense we are here today .
In amusement ,she was explicit and said "i dont think Lizzy is clear of your motives,i dont want to be seen as a Boyfriend snatcher,have a chart with her,in my knowledge according to her you are dating each other i dont want to be dragged in that chaos.Sort it out.
He said "ooops i didnt realize this mess, will definitely sort this misunderstanding out. by the way "we are wearing matching outfits the universe is calling our names ha ha ha.
She responded by rolling her eyes and lifted her hands in the air " thats cheesy Man,well our matching outfits can symbolize a strong connection or shared wavelength, or maybe its a coincidence we dont know she laughed it off.
While they were laughing they were interrupted by the Siya'sanga's tab table crew,The cheese boys with their girlfriends and Siphesihle old friends,they all came to greet her and she warmly welcomed the new and old Friends,She noticed her friend Lizzy was not her Happy self but Nandi and Bongi were very excited.And Dr Luvuyo talked the big talk of wanting to signing her and quickly Siyasanga stopped him and whooo whooo stop it dont raise hopes of our new Friend unnecessary .They complimented her session and they warmly hugged her.
After long chatts and laughter,on their way out Dr Lungelo Xaba aside asked Lizzy for a lunch on Tuesday if her schedule allows it,Siphesihle was watching them understanding where the conversation was heading,
LIZZY excitedly agreed and she told everyone who dared care to hear that Dr Lungelo is asking her out on a date.
By that time Siyasanga and Luvuyo had already left with their casual dates.
Lungs sneaked on backstage to speak with the Ikhwezi band members,He saw Siphesihle driving out in a Polo vivo and knew he has missed an opportunity to ask for her contact's,her car looked new and he wondered how is she affording it if she has not established herself yet as A Solo Artist.
He askes for Siphesihle's contacts without hesitation they gave him and they said they saw them chatting earlier under normal circumstances they dont give them away unless its for bookings.He aprecciated their consideration.
Later that night after a long warm shower with dissapointment and frustration in his heart on the turn out of events.He called his Besties asking if t can they drop by his house he said they need to talk man to man,He has a situation and its urgent.
Siyasanga said on their arrival" Last time we came over here summoned by YOU,you were on the verge of resigning at work and we stayed all night convincing you otherwise,Luvuyo interrupted saying Last summon i was dumped by My girlfriend she thought i stood her out because we ended up sleeping over Dude,i hope i wont be dumped again by my booty cheek Man.They all laughed at his concern
He went to his bar lounge and offered them drinks,They declined saying they had enough during lunch and tomorrow its work rules are rulss no Alchohol on sunday after 8pm and it was around 8pm
He said i will shoot" Gentleman im finding myself conflicted,when i came back few weeks back for the 1st time i met Siphesihle with her Friends Lizzy and Nandi,he gave clear details,he said now im finding myself having to explain to Lizzy that im not into her and never was because of my future girlfriend who needs me to give her more clarity.
Dude i didnt realize you had hearts for her and to be honest i thought you have a thing for Lizzy too but i saw dry feelings i thought maybe you wanna be casual with her and Man that Lizzy has her claws on you ha ha ha Dr Luvuyo proclaimed and he was amused by this scenario.
Worse part Siphesihle my new found girl crush is very beautiful Man i get you and she has a Mom meet my future wife look oooh Dude im so happy for you those were Siyasanga words after hearing this.
They discussed how he must be clear of his stand with LIZZY and not ruin a potential good thing.They were happy that his willing to chase Siphesihle and warned him to guard his heart.Its easy to maintain casual relationships but stable one NEEDS investment of feelings...
After they left he took strength and made a call feeling nervous
He dialled 072 5553 2025
Him:Hello My Sweetheart
Her: who is this
Him:Your future Husband
Her:Hi Hubby
