My ‘Role Model’ Husband! The agony of a Mother, Wife, and Friend.Chapter 6
Since Bongz’s phone was no longer going through; Babz decided to call Phindie. Phindie immediately answered her phone.
Where is Bongz, it is getting late? Babz asked.
I don’t know where he is, Phindie responded.
He told me that he was meeting with you after school; you mean you did not meet? Babz asked.
No. We did not meet and we had no such plans; I walked home immediately after school because I was not feeling well. Phindie responded.
Fezile and Babz called all Bongz’s friends including Mandla; but they all said that they last saw Bongz in the afternoon at school. Fezile got really scared, she immediately told Babz to go with her; they got into the car and drove to Lincoln High School.
The school gate was closed and the gateman was seated inside the gateman room which is near the gate. The gateman knew Babz and Fezile; he immediately came and met them at the gate.
Babz asked the gateman if he saw Bongz at school. The security guard said that he can’t recall when he last saw him. He said that almost all students left after school apart from a few who were standing at the gate waiting for their transport to come.
The security guard said that by around 4:00 pm, all students were gone. Fezile, being an intuitive lawyer; she suspected that the security guard might be lying, he was not confident in the answers he was giving.
Fezile told the security guard to open the gate for her, she wanted to check inside and make sure that her son is not locked there. The security guard refused, that the principal told him never to open for anyone when the school ended.
Being that Fezile and Themba are well-known parents at Lincoln High School and good funders of the school; she immediately called the principal. She explained the situation to the principal and the principal asked her to give the phone to the security guard. The principal asked the security guard to open for the Khumalos.
Fezile and Babz drove into the school, they started calling and searching for Bongz. They checked all corners of the school; they checked inside the classes too, the security guard had all keys of the classes; he was opening them one by one.
Now it was almost 08:00 PM. Fezile called Gugu to check if Bongz has arrived home, but it was all in vain. Babz remembered that there is a place on the rooftop where boys always go to enjoy some sun. That place was always locked, only prefects have access to it.
Fezile asked the security guard to go open the door to the rooftop. Babz and Fezile went up and they looked around the rooftop, but what they saw, they will never forget!
