Teenchat with Tentie

HEY there my dearies! I trust and hope that you are adequately hydrating yourselves given the current heatwave. Drink lots of water or fluids to keep your body well hydrated. Also use umbrellas or wear sun hats when going out. As you rest under trees, first check to find if there are no snakes on the branches.

Love you always, kisses and hugs!

Two weeks later we went to see him in Zimunya. My wife and I. My wife was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man’s status to warrant our visit to his house.

I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college. We got to Zimunya and asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with difference. It was a simple, but a lovely home.

A four bedroom bungalow. I saw four cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly. Lunch was well served.

During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38 percent shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the estate. I did not know when I called him sir; I was in awe of him too. I had learnt a lesson in humility — A big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort. Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life!

Indeed deeper rivers flow in majestic silence! WhatsApp (continued from last week)
