Loving Pezo - Season 1 - Episode 33

Pezo: what?
Mrs. Chinyama: Why don’t you atleast talk to him tommorrow. Make him understand that you hold
no grudge against him. Help him be at peace.

Pezo: Sure mum. Will do. Is that all?
Mrs. Chinyama: yes. That was all
Pezo’ Phone rang and without realising it, she widely smile as she picked it and left without saying
a word to her mother.

Joe: I trust you are safely home?
Pezo: Yes. Thank you for everything once more. I really had a great time. It was great to know you
all.

Joe: Pleasure is all mine. And I hope we can still be seeing you once in a while?
Pezo: Yes. Ofcourse sir

Joe: call me Joe, please. Everyone does.
Pezo never commented on that. And soon they said their goodbyes
It wasnt easy for Kalima even as Pezo cut the line.

He was left in distress. He just didnt seem to
wipe away what he witnessed that late afternoon from the restaurant. Seeing Pezo having what
seemed like such a great time with another man was never a good sight for him . He feared for the
unknown when his thoughts seemed to have pushed him towards a conclusion that they were
actually dating. He found it so difficult to find sleep that evening. All he could think of entire night
was Pezo and how he could win her over.

There wasn’t much that could at that time but he vowed
never to give up. Loving Pezo was all he needed to do for his rest of life.

The next morning, Mr. Mitti’s text woke her up. Not even a great in but once more to notify her that she had forgotten her scarf in his vehicle once more. She responded with a simple “am sorry – I
will sure collect it from the office”. He immediately replied with another short text “may I call?”.

Hesitantly, she replied with a “yes”
The call immediately rang but it did so for a while before Pezo answer.

Pezo: Good morning sir.
Joe: I thought we agreed on this miss Chinyama. Really- its only 07am on a saturday morning, you
don’t expect us to be this formal – do you.
Pezo just gave it a soft laugh. He loved it.

Joe: So I will pretend I never heard that and will forgive you. Presuming it won’t happen again

Pezo: I will try my best sir- I mean –
Joe: come on.
Pezo: it really won’t be easy but I promise- this will get better

Joe: great. Now listen- I called to actually inform you that I don’t mind linking up with you to collect
your scarf

Pezo: You really don’t have to. I mean, it’s only a scarf right

Joe:I don’t mind. I have the whole day to do this. – just let me know where I can meet you.
Pezo: I will let you know.
Joe: I will wait for your call
Pezo: sure.

Pezo cut the line and was only turning to go back to her sleep when she saw her friend Mukuka
standing before her
Mukuka: going on a date.

Pezo: not really Kuka. Just meeting a friend some were for a short while.
Mukuka: I miss you Pezo. I miss us.
Pezo: and I hold nothing against you sis. I have only been tied up lately.

Mukuka: too tied up to even return my many missed calls or texts.
Pezo remained silent

Mukuka: you have punished me enough Pezo. Its not easy being without you. I was wrong. I am
sorry- but can’t you see what this is causing to our families?

Pezo wasnt responding much to her questions. And in anger Mukuka left the room and drove off. It
was so clear their friendship would no longer be the same. Later that day- she met with Mr. Mitti at
one of the restaurants at acacia park but they didn’t stay long. It wasn’t safe for Mr. Mitti to do this
anyway as he wouldn’t want to create problems with his fiancé. It was at a point of leaving the restaurant that Kalima spotted Pezo and followed her immediately she separated with Mr. Mitti

Kalima: (catching her unaware as she stood by the taxi rank for a cab) i see you dont have your
car, mind if I gave you a lift home?

Pezo: Hey. You are here?

Kalima: I was just here to meet the bank manager and spotted you.

Pezo: uh okay. I really wouldn’t want to disturb your day- I can get on a cab

Kalima: and if I insist?

Pezo had no excuse anymore but to just give in. Together they walked to the car together and as
Pezo was about to open the door, Kalima quickly got hold of it and opened the door for her. Once
they were both seated- Kalima just sat still with his gaze on her.

Pezo: (with a simple smile) and now?
Kalima: Thanks

Pezo: (a little confused) Karl comeon- incase you have forgotten- am the one to say that- though
only not yet.

He just widely smiled as he started the engine.

Kalima: so, where to maam?
Pezo: home please (she said teasingly)

They both laughed as they began their ride. Immediately they arrived at the chinyama residence
Kalima decided to park the car outside the gate instead of getting in. As it was a lift, Pezo
understood him to be dropping her off from there and she was almost ready to get out

Pezo : Thank you. I really appreciate your kindness.

Kalima: well I was thinking we could talk Pezo.. That’s why I decided to park out here
Pezo: talk?? About what?

Kalima: atleast you will not seem to forget that I have been itching to see you the past few weeks

Pezo: I know Karl but I thought we both understood what’s been happening. I would really
appreciate if we actually left it that way.
