Loving Pezo - Season 1 - Episode 52

Kalima: I know that something is wrong with Pezo sis. You cannot keep this to yourself or do you
plan to?

Mukuka: she is okay Bro. Thanks for the food.
She turned and left for her room. Well Kalima was trying to think through what just happened,
Chisala appeared.
Kalima: hey little one. Were are you heading to.

Chisala: mum asked me to bring this bottle of water to aunt Pezo- she doubted you remembered
to carry one.

Kalima: not at all.
Chisala: but perhaps you may do it for me. Mukuka warned me not to go to her room today. I don’t
want her screening at me again
Kalima: what do you mean again? Did something happen earlier.

Chisala: well I didn’t know she was with aunt Pezo and that they wanted some privacy. Truth is
aunt Pezo really seemed hurt and she kept on crying over something I couldn’t quite understand

Kalima: well it’s because she wasn’t feeling well right… Mukuka said she had a stomach upset Chisala: not that- she kept on saying that Joe had hurt her and that he was an evil man. Whatever
that meant.

Right from those words, Kalima knew this had something to do with the man he had seen Pezo
with. He wondered what might have happened to her to seem so heart broken. From the rear
mirror as they were coming home that afternoon, he was so sure it didnt seem like a stomach
upset but more of an emotional issue. He didn’t know how he was to do this but he vowed to get
to the bottom of the issue. He loved Pezo and it really didn’t mean that just because he would be
with her, any man could toy with.
Kalima: (bending down towards her as he got the bottle of water) alright sweetheart. Why not give
me the bottle. I really don’t mind sending it on your behalf.

Chisala: Oh thank you.
He quickly turned and just knocked once onto the door and as Mukuka opened it, he already put
his hand on it as he spoke to her

Kalima: I need to see Pezo. Atleast allow me to make her realise that just because one man has
hurt her, it’s not the end of the world.

Mukuka was confused. She had no idea how Kalima got to know of what happened.

Kalima: Chisala overheard your conversation and got concerned.

Mukuka: that silly girl!! Will she ever stop meddling in affairs that don’t concern her?
Kalima: may I?

Mukuka: Chichi just exegerated it all bro- Pezo is okay and resting
Just then Pezo spoke up asking Mukuka to allow him in. Kalima could not believe what he was
seeing. He could never imagine seeing her in that state at any given point. Its as though she had
never stopped crying since she got in that room. The fact that she had slept for a while made her
eyes swell a little. Kalima just walked straight to her and sat besides her. He was somewhat at
loss with what to tell her. But as he held her hand, Pezo’s tears just dropped uncontrollably. Not
that she wanted to be comforted but it just happened. Mukuka just rushed to her and hugged her
tightly.


Mukuka: honey I thought we agreed you won’t do this to yourself again

Kalima: look – I do not have any idea of what’s causing you to do this to yourself but Pezo. .. think
of us and how much more pain you are inflicting on us just seeing you in this state.

Mukuka: He is right Pezo. Please think of your health too. You have been like this since I don’t
know for how long.

Pezo didnt say or act in any way but tears kept pouring out of her eyes. It worried them both.

Kalima just pulled his sister aside and could not hide the panic in his eyes
Kalima: what is really going on Sis. Do you have any idea what problems this can bring if you
continue hiding her condition from everyone?
Mukuka never said anything but just began to chew her finger nails. One after another as though
it’s a little girl not so sure of whether she could trust the man before her. Kalima just moved closer
to her and held her by the shoulder.
Kalima: You can trust me sis. Just allow me to assist in whichever way I can

Mukuka: (covering her face with both her hands) God!!! This isn’t so easy for me Kalima. Please
its not necessary.
Kalima: (facing her directly in the eyes) Please?

Mukuka just faced away as she spilled the beans
Pezo just discovered that her lover is getting married to another woman bro.
Kalima: ( in total disbelief) what?? You mean
Mukuka: yes bro. The very guy she has been with everytime and talking to on the phone.
Apparently, the kitchen Party we were in attendance was for his other woman and it’s when he
came to unveil the bride that Pezo had to stand face to face with him. Its horrible bro. It really is.

She was crying too. Kalima couldn’t contain what he just heard. His voice was totally gone for any
comment to be made. He just turned and went back in Mukuka’s room. He looked at Pezo and
could not even imagine the pain she was going through at that point. He just walked up to her and
gave her a firm hug…. hoping that it would send words comforting enough for someone going
through what she was. Once more, Pezo never reacted in anyway but just looked at her friend
who had just entered the room.

Mukuka: ( wiping her tears) am sorry darling. I had to tell him. Am so sorry.

Kalima: Your pain is safe with me dear- you are gonna be fine- just wait and see.
