30“I’ve booked a room upstairs. We can have some wine. It will be fun. Now let’s go,shall we?”Mufaro was uncertain what to say to this man who clearly expected her to follow him.She was about to burst into tears knowing what she was being thrust into by her own family.She ran to the bathroom unable to hold back her tears. She allowed herself to cry. She criedfor power. The kind of power that still eluded so many women around the world.Drying her tears, Mufaro left the bathroom and walked down the stairs to the lobby.On her way, she spotted Ndapiwa heading towards the hotel suites with the Minister. Shewanted to reach out and grab her sister as they disappeared into the shadow of the hallway.How could she? Their parents had managed to suck her into their world of corruption andimmorality. Brokenhearted at what her parents and her sister had resorted to in order to getahead in the world, Mufaro left the hotel, fully resolved to be a different kind of woman, andto build a different kind of business for herself and her children.Kudzai Mhangwa was born and raised in Harare, Zimbabwe. He writes poetry, plays, shortstories and essays. He is also an amateur actor. His work has been featured in Thinking OutLoud, House of Mutapa, Poetry Soup, All Poetry and Love, and Love Poets.
