also praying hard when I woke up" I gave her the glass of water while sitting down next to her. I still had the knife in my hand

Mrs Ndlovu: she drank the water and she looked more calm now "I was next door trying to pray I then heard you screaming I thought your life was in danger that maybe there was an intruder inside your room I then quickly grabbed the knife on the drawer, the room next door has a mini kitchen. Luckily I had this room key on the set of keys I was holding" She then took a sip of the water and breathed heavily.
