Lanton POV

"And this year's best Zimbabwean musician award goes to, Young Vinly!!", these words came as an echoe in my ears. I just couldn't believe that finally I've made a name for my self.

t's been four years now and I'm still living in SA. My mom had gone back home a long time ago and I stayed back because I have some unfinished job here.

I was so proud of myself and living in SA wasn't a bad thing after all but finally I had to go back to my country and start my own music company there. But before I do that I have to complete my last mission here in SA.

I drove my black porsch all the way to my father's place. I've had that my so called father had come to his house in SA, which he often does and today I want to pay a sweet visit to him. My GPS in my car told me that I was almost at his place and I finally arrived at this gigantic mension that looks almost the same with the one he have in Zimbabwe.

The house is in all white. I rang the intercom and when he saw that it was me he quickly opened the gate and I hopped in my car and drove in. The main doors opened automatically and damn! this old hag is so rich. I wonder why he never built a house for my mom?

"My famous son!", he said with a grin on his face walking towards me with opened arms.

"How are you JJ", I said giving him a fake smile, while he pulled me into a hug.
"What did I do to have this special visit?", he said as he walked to the living room painted all white and a little touch ups of black.

"You stole what was meant to be my joy", I said as I followed him.

"Stealing is a big word son", he said sitting down on his leather sofa and I did the same.

"Yes I know", I said wearing a straight face.

"Juice or wine? Make yourself at home", he said with a one sided smile.

"I'm not here for that, mom told me everything", I said looking straight into my father's eyes.

"Mmm, what do you mean?", he was now uncomfortable, whats up with him?
"How my Tiara died and I want you to tell me which gang killed Tiara cause for now I know almost every gang in this Country", I said slowly but surely.

"Who told you that!", he yelled at me with shot red eyes.

"Hey! Don't you shout at me, you are lucky that I'm not blaming you for her death while I have every reason to. As I said mom told me when I saw a picture of you and Tiara in her diary", I exclaimed.

"Just leave it son, just focus on your music career", he said taking a sip of juice.

"No! Man, I refuse to be a coward, I refuse to just let things go like you did. I have to avenge for my Tiara's death and live peacefully", I screamed standing up from the sofa.

"So you think that I'm a coward!? You think that I didn't love Tiara? You think I never tried to take revenge? For goodness sake Lanton! Tiara was my first child and my first bundle of joy!!", he argued standing up too.

"I don't care, just tell me who did it and I will do what you failed to do, I will wipe out that entire gang!!!", I screamed and my dad started laughing at me, that sarcastic laugh.

"You, wiping out Natas' gang", he said between the laughs and I joined him.

"You just told me his name Natas, what kind of a name is that mxm!", I said and clicked my tongue.

"You really don't know him son he is the devil himself", he said going back to sit.

"His name doesn't sound familiar I agree but it doesn't sound any scary", I said taking one step to the exit door.

"Just read Natas coming from the back", he said slowly making me stop thinking calmly. Darn it NATAS SATAN, 😨.

"What! Satan!!", I yelled running back to my seat.

"I told you leave this avenging thing and focus on what you know best", he adviced.
"I'm not going to let his so called Satan name make me backout, I ain't scared of any human", I said boldly but deep inside I felt shivers.

I finally went home after talking to my father about this whole thing. I was now thinking of a plan of attacking this Natas guy, I can't just let him get away with killing my Kiara. I called Denzel my IT guy who I've known through my music career

" Hello", Denzel answered the call only after ths first ring though it was mid night.

"Hy my guy, sorry for calling this late", I said taking a sit on my bed.

" It's okay it must be important", he said and yes it is very important for me.

"Please can you gather some information about a gang leader called Natas", I said with no confidence at all.

" Oh, that man okay by tomorrow morning I'll give you all his info", he said, sounding as if he already have his info.

"Okay man, thank you", I said brushing my hair with my fingers.

" Sure, man", he said and I hang up on him. I'll just sleep and see what tomorrow hold for me.

"How did I end up falling for you, I found myself calling for you...", my ringing tone woke me up from my deep sleep and I amswered the call.

"Yes", I answered yawning.

"YV (YOUNG VINLY), I sent you all the information you need to know about Natas on your email", the IT guy said and I jumbed out of bed with so much enthusiasm and nervousness at the same time.

"Thank you so much my guy", I said

" Anytime YV", He said and we both hung up.

I opened my email and I first saw an email from my assistant saying that I have to perform a live perfomance on Godwins Graduation party who is the son of the president of our country. The party will be held in Zimbabwe this weekend at Crown Plaza Hotel. This wasn't even part of my plans I was planning to go back to Zim when I had finished my mission and I'll go back for Shennie but this now. I frowned!

Shennie POV

"Arti why are you like this? It has already been 4 years and you are turning 21 years soon, why can't you forget about Lanton now and move on with your life", Violet said to me with a straight face but I wasn't buying it at all.

"Vee, I told you already I'll wait for him till he comes back, I made a promise to Lenti which I intend on keeping", I said looking straight into her eyes.

"Arti, we are talking about Lanton who is now a famous musician in SA. He might even have a girlfriend there and already forgotten about you", Violet was really getting on my nerves, she's been tormenting me about this Lenti thing ever since we went to my father's beach house for a vaccation.

" Violet, I'm happy waiting for Lenti to come back, I know that he'll come back and yes he might be a famous musician but that doesn't mean that he has a girlfriend. Let's just not talk about this matter now", I said convincingly.

✩★✩★✩★✩★
Years have passed and I am at an university right now doing my degree in art, finally I decided to do Art since I realized that I have so much passion in it and obviosly because I'm talented. Right now I'm on a vaccation with Violet, only God knows how much I've missed this soul.

Violet was on the same university with me (The Closure University), she was doing design and she was truly amazing at designing cloths and interior decors of houses and buildings. We have been at the university for 2 years and our degrees takes 4 years to be obtained if you pass the final exams so we'd be at Closure University for another 2 years.

Elena finally got married the same month I finished my O level exams and it was a fancy wedding with a little rustic themes. Cherry and Paris were the ones who planned the whole wedding and their company was growing pretty well. Cherry is now 25 and she is in a courtship with this guy called Brian. There've been dating for 6 months now while Paris was still single and in a heartbreak, which is a story for another day.

My family was still the same, as they say family never changes. My mom is looking so young as if she is not aging at all, even dad looks like a boy and their main secret is just taking a lot of water to drink and bathing frequently. Though they loved the idea of living alone they video call me every now and then telling me how much they miss me, Funny! Cherry has her own apartment now and I'm living at the apartments at our university and I ain't sharing a room with nobody cause I'm not used to that at all. So mom and dad are living alone apparently.
As we were sitting down watching Strictly come dancing with Violet I saw a notification on my phone, saying that the famous Zimbabwean Musician YOUNG VINLY who started his career in SA will be coming to his country on the weekend and people must buy tickets for his live show.

I couldn't control myself, I started screaming and Violet just gave me the what the ..... Look.

"Oh my goodness! Vee you are not gonna believe this!!!", I screamed like a 5 year old child given a surprise toy.

"Did you win a lottery", she said sarcastically.

"Really now Vee, see", I gave her the phone and she widened her big eyes.

"Is this true!?", she yelled looking at me and then back at my phone.

"Why would they lie about such a thing, my Lenti is coming back in Zimbabwe Vee! He is coming back!", I screamed in disbelief, it was unbelievable, after so many years I might get to see my Lenti. OMG! What to do?
