Chương 17: 17. Confusion
Les was scared to her wits. She felt the invisible man was folliwing her all day long. Nonody in her family understood why she was jumpy.
"Les, whats going on? since you returned from the fields you've been acting all strange." concern was written all over Francis face.
"Dad, why didn't you tell me about the invisible man?"
"Oh dear!Honey, she knows the story already." 'Mabohlokoa shifted looks between father and daughter.
"Les baby, I want you to listen to daddy. Its best that instead of seeing the ambiguity and evilness of the world, you find the tranquility and bravery brought by trusting in Christ. Remember the Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him."
"Forgive my weak heart father. When I heard about your fight and the progeny, I got really scared."
Her mother who was busy with her sewing stopped and took a seat beside her daughter, "Baby listen to me. To be weak is not to be a failure. Remember falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. These things must be imbedded in your soul."
The family of three went on with their evening activities and conversations, Leseli felt a bit braver, though she could still feel traces of fear and questions in the back of her head.

The next morning Les got a call from Nthabi. She had been busy for the past few days getting to know her family. Besides, she wanted to use these two weeks for herself. She had been burried in studied for a long time, and she wanted to develop her interraction as well as social skills.
Nthabi told her that her fiance would come and pick her up that dah at 10AM to meet with the dressmaker and later for the girls' date.
She did not give Les enough time to respond, it was more like informing her.
Her fiance.....
what should I do? I cant be alone with him!!
Her mind swam with all kinds of scenarios.... but....
was he the DJ at that party? I'll have to give him a hug and decide. Did what I feel for him mean anything? But why did I feel rather disappointed instead of jealous when I saw them together!!
Uhh! Les, stop it. you'll give yourself a heartache from all the confusion.
She woke up and informed her parents at breakfast. They had no worries. Les had to get out a bit. She had been with the villagers, and didnt want to go to town!! At least Nthabi came to their rescue.

Les was done with preparing herself for the day when a black Ford Ranger arrived. It was Teboho; Nthabi's fiance, the man who once sent electric shocks through her veins from a mere handshake.
He was in a pair of slacks and a light v-neck jersy. His masculinity was unbearable. He had the air of confidence around him but ....
Les thought as she silently analyzed him from afar.
He has no sense of naughtiness and his eyes do not shine like his.... He does make me feel nervous but there are no butterflies.. and his lips.... his lips...
"Leseli, your brother in-law to be is here, give him a drink." Francis called. He was sitting under the shade of the tree where Teboho joined him.
Leseli had to let go of her analysis and serve the two. After half an hour, Les said her goodbyes to her father and left with Teboho. She felt a bit tense, she had no idea what to say to start a conversation.
Awkward!!
Teboho cleared his throat and started making a little talk.
"So Les, we never had a chance to get acquainted that day, what happened?"
"Uh, I haven't apologised properly. Excuse my manners. Actually, there was indeed something I had to do ASAP. However, you startled me a bit, I wasnt prepared to hear someone speak Sesotho so fluently."
"Mh, I was worried that lerhaps I scared you. That's why I even asked Petro to set up a meeting for us."
"Thanks, but no need. we met already."
"Its a small world hey."
Les smiled... it was an involuntary natural smile.
Teboho felt his heart melting!he forgot to watch the road ahead and just stared at her. Les blushed hard ...
Leseli, no time to flirt, he is Nthabi's fiance!
Man!!!
His lips... remember?
Oh yeah, his lips.
"Watch the road!" A driver who was passing by shouted.
"Whaaa... oh ya, the road." Teboho said, with a confused voice.
Les was lost in her analysis once again:
No winking, weird sense of humour, no arguments, and thin lips!!
This is no him!!
She felt a burden of emotions leaving her heart. Thank God she wont have to worry even before Nthabi.
she had no idea that there was battle of feelings within the man beside her. That is until she looked at her.
wait whats that in his eyes? confusion!!!
