Thokozani S.B. Maseko - Like a Lily on a Mountain, Love Grows on Rocky Terrains

“From the looks of it outside, they were here. I’d guess Welcome isn’t taking off his boots behind no pearly gates, Themba. I found this,” he said, and Hannah wondered what he showed his brothers.

“A.M. And that was her hair, all right,” Thabani agreed.

She could feel Welcome nodding in the dark.

“And look here,” Themba said, apparently showing him the petticoat.

“And it’s ripped, too.”

“With Thandi not even cold in her grave. I thought that you gelded him at least, Themba. Is that what you said?”

“I guess I should have aimed better when I ran him off. If Thandi wasn’t screaming so much about how sorry she was, I’d be sure to get him in the balls. Still, I must have done him good. Isn’t nobody caught him with their woman since I found him between Thandi’s legs …”

Hannah could feel the heat rising from Welcome’s body, despite the fact that she leaned away from him. His body was taut, and his breathing controlled. She shivered, but he was lost in the moment, his face rigid in the face of danger.

“What are we going to do now?” Themba asked.

“We’re going to rescue Mashwa and Miss,” Mandla answered friendly. “Then we’re going to cut off what is left of Welcome’s sausage and feed it to Topsy.”

“Yeah!” shouted Themba, his voice covered the second of Hannah’s retching. “Let’s go get them.”

They waited for the clatter of horses’ hooves before Welcome threw back the trapdoor. Light and fresh air streamed into the basement, and Hannah gulped in big breaths of it. Upstairs, Welcome cleaned up a cup with a whisk of the forgotten petticoat and filled it with water. He handed it to Hannah, who took it gratefully with both hands.

“Drink it slowly,” he warned her. “I don’t know where the next drop will come from.”
