but she doesn't come often and I understand why she
has a family to take care of. I can't say that we're poor
my father works for the chief in the chief's farms. He
doesn't earn much but he earns enough to take care of
us. Our house is a four roomed house with two bedrooms
a kitchen and a lounge. We don't have electricity so we
use candles for light and a chimney stove for cooking.
Me "Nqobile!!!"
Nqo "Mmmmhhhhhh!"
Chapter 2
She got up and went to the kitchen to fetch water to
wash her face. I took out my long red dress and my head
scarf then I wore my sandals and waited for my sister.
When she was done getting dressed we took our buckets
in the kitchen and headed to the river. On the way we
met up with Nqobile's friend Zandile. She knows all the
village gossips .
Zandi "Did you guys hear that the Zulu King's older son is
coming back from Johannesburg ? I heard that since the
King is now old he'll need to take a wife as soon as
possible since he is the heir to the throne."
Angshongo?🤷♀️ she's literally our news reporter
Nqo "It's obvious he is going to choose me I mean I'm the
most beautiful maiden in this village and I'm sure in other
villages as well." Yup! You heard right my sister is very
pretty she's slim with curves and ass . She's light skinned
lighter than me. She's had suitors from different villages
but none of them have ever matched her high standards.
Zandi "And I know he'll choose you friend plus with your
beauty you really deserve to be our queen." Her friend
said with a fake smile. Pretense and jealousy was evident
in her voice. I just kept quiet and continued walking.
Zandi "But I heard that he'll choose his wife from the
reed dance that will take place next month. I'm glad we
have a whole month I'm glad we have the whole month
to prepare mngeh."
I rolled my eyes there is nothing I hate more in life like
meaningless conversations like the one these two are
having.... such young beautiful maidens with no dreams
but I don't blame them I blame this village how our young
minds were programmed from a young age that a
woman's life revolves around a man. We finally arrived at
the river we found other maidens who were also
conversing about the prince. Can this day get any worse?!
I just filled my bucket and headed back home knowing
my sister I knew she'll stay a bit longer there since the
topic was interesting her a lot. When I got home I left the
bucket and took another empty bucket and headed back
to the river

our parents were still sleeping it's Saturday today so
father is not going to work. When I got to the river
Nqobile was still with the ladies one of them turned and
looked at me.
Chapter 3
Me "I left her with her friends by the river you know how
she gets when there is gossip."
Mom "Okay please go and call her for me. She needs to
come home and eat she's been gone for too long." that's
mom for You Nqobile is her egg.
Me "Okay."
I headed back to the river well I'm glad I'm done fetching
water Nqobile will fetch her empty buckets on her own I
have to fetch firewood after this. My mom is so lenient
on her I don't why or maybe it's because she's the last
born. She's spoilt I don't know how she'll survive as a
married woman and seeing how much she loves marriage
she'll probably get married before me.
I've had suitors too but I just don't want to get married
yet I feel like it's too soon but my family don't see it that
way *sigh* they think ngzogugela ekhaya but I'm only 24
but usually girls around my village get married around the
age of 18. I arrived at the river and I found more ladies
they've even created a circle my sister is in the middle
narrating how the prince is only hers. From a young age
Nqobile has always loved being the centre of attention.
She was swaying her hips showing them that they had no
chance of winning against her at all. One thing about my
sister is that she is slim she has a great body. I call her
aside and tell her that mother is calling her.
SOMEWHERE IN JOHANNESBURG
Sindi "I just don't understand why you let your family
dictate how to live your life why can't you decline being
the king? Are you the only son the King has?"
Bukhosi "But I'm the rightful heir to the throne it is my
birth right I cannot do as I please please understand
mkami.
Bukhosi "I won't my love you and our unborn child are
everything to me."

Today is the day our bags are packed and we're ready to
go parents are excited to see their daughters off. The
maidens that were deflowered before marriage are
looking at us with envy. The bus finally arrives and we
exchange hugs and kisses with our families and board the
bus. On the way the ladies are in high spirits there is a lot
of singing and dancing jokes are exchanged here and
there. I wish this moment right here could never end.
These are the memories I will forever cherish I wish if I
ever have daughters in my life they get to experience
such moments in their lives.

King "I'm not even going to ask who that lady is all I want
to know is what are we going to tell the people because
they're expecting to see the prince and they know that
the Prince is not married and he has come back to choose
a wife from one of their flowers? Do you know how
important it is for you to choose a maiden from the reed
dance to be your wife? That is done to strengthen the
relationship between the royal family and our people."

other rituals were completed too. Finally the day
everyone has been waiting for was here. We woke up
early in the morning it was still dark outside we went to
the river to bath . The water was freaken cold. I was
literally shaking plus the nerves were not taking it easy on
me. We got dressed I wore my white beaded short
skirt a neckpiece with beaded bangles and anklets. I was
a bit uncomfortable wearing the beaded short skirt
because it just exposed my huge behind my ass was way
too big to fit inside the skirt. Such moments make me
wish I had a slimmer body. We took our reeds and made
our way to the palace while singing Zulu traditional songs
and dancing we were led by the King's daughter Zakithi.
We finally arrived at the palace and placed our reeds
before the King. We danced and sang.
I started a song

I whispered to my father.
Me "Father I think I've chosen the girl I want to marry." I
pointed at the girl and I could see father was happy with
my choice.
Father "Okay son I'll find out where the girl is from then
I will make sure that I send the letter to her home.
Nqo "I said it!!! The prince chose Me I'm sure that is what
the King wants to discuss with iqhikiza."

They quietly got out with their tails between their legs.
From now on I'm done pleasing these two it's time I do
what makes me happy because it seems like they're now
taking advantage of my kindness. I just can't wait to get
out of this place I fell asleep. The following morning i did
my daily routine and did my chores. Nqobile and mom
were still not talking to me and if this is how they planned
to spend these last days of me being here with them not
talking to me I don't care but I'm not about to give up
getting married to the prince to please my mother and
spoilt sister . This might just be the chance for me to
achieve my dreams maybe the prince will allow me to
study or start a business so my mother and sister can
shove their request where the sun doesn't shine.
Days went by too fast and I was the talk of the village I
was starting to like the idea of being someone's wife.
Finally Friday the day of the lobola negotiations was here.
Close Neighbours came to help out with the cooking
some were here just to witness if this was happening for
real. My aunt was the one cooking together with the
neighbours since my mother was till mad at me. For
What? Well only she knows. Abakhongi arrived here
around six in the morning they've been shouting at the
gate it's ten now that's how cruel my father is. I see two
of my uncles going to the gate to open for them they also
charge them some money. I've been looking at them
through my bedroom window

IN THE BEDROOM
"Take this and put it inside her Food make sure no one
sees you." Mom handed me a plastic with this black
powder poison.
Fine "I took the poison and went to dish up food for
Nomthandazo in the kitchen I looked around searching
if anyone was seeing what I was doing I quickly poured
the poison ku beetroot. I looked for Nomthandazo I think
she was still inside our bedroom.

Nqo "Where have you been? I've been searching all over
this place for you. I heard you've not eaten so I decided
to be a good sister and dish up for you as a peace
offering."
Me "No it's fine really I'll dish up for myself but I've
forgiven you so there's no need to try and impress me."
Nqo "I insist please eat this meal it will make me feel like
you've really forgiven me."
I took the plate from her and I walked across the room to
the kitchen cabinet to fetch a spoon and I mistakenly
tripped and fell together with the plate. The plate broke
and the food split on the floor.
She clicked her tongue and stormed off the kitchen. Well
I'll just give this food to the dog. I went outside to fetch
the dog's dish and put the food inside

stupid ass has done!!!!!" She was breathing fire.
She clicked her tongue and stormed off the kitchen. Well
I'll just give this food to the dog. I went outside to fetch
the dog's dish and put the food inside I went back
outside and gave it to the dog. Then I dished up another
plate for me. After eating I went to join my cousins they
were singing and drinking . I don't drink I just went to sit
with them. Someone tapped me on my shoulder I turned
and I was met by the most beautiful and mesmerizing
eyes.
Me "Wow!!!!"
Prince "I know this is not easy for you to hear especially
on your big day but I don't have a choice but to tell You I
don't love you and I don't think I'll ever love you so there
are rules I have set for this marriage. I won't sleep with
You I won't touch you nor kiss you. I'll allow you to study
if you want or do whatever you want to do with your
time. But please do something for me don't have any
high expectations from me I can never love you. I'm
sorry."

Wow!!! Great!!! So I don't get to decide on my wedding
date? The type of wedding I want? I nodded my head he
hugged me. Oh! I forgot we're still acting since people are
looking at us. I took the plastic bag from him and took it
into my room. I didn't feel like celebrating anymore.
Anyway what's there to celebrate? He ruined my mood
and my day. How can someone have so many
misfortunes? Maybe I'm cursed. So this is the life I have
chosen for myself a life of unhappiness and pain. So I will
never experience how it feels like to be loved by my
husband? He has made a mockery out of me. I didn't
even realise I was crying until I felt my dress getting wet I
took a tissue paper and wiped my tears. I just have to
face reality this is my life from now on and I have to just
accept it. I changed my dress and wore my nightdress I
was about to get under the blankets when i remembered
that I haven't given the dog its food. I went outside to
take the dog's dish but something was strange. The dog
was not moving and when i got closer I realised that the
dog was dead. Nothing could've killed it it was okay and
active a few hours ago. It all came back to me I fed the
dog the food Nqobile wanted me to eat..... no it couldn't
be...Nqobile would never do that to Me or she would? I
was confused.
Nqo "Okay." I took her hand and lead her to our room.

Nqo "Okay." I took her hand and lead her to our room.

You must be crazy!!!!!"

year." Burp "You know I always thought you had self......
self respect" burp "Kanti cha ngangizikhohlisa...... So are
you really going to marry" Burp " a man that is already in

I wore my white and gold dress with gold block heels and
I have to say I looked gorgeous. My husband has class
because wow this outfit is beautiful and it matches
well.....Or maybe my sister wife was the one who chose It
for me ? Okay whoever chose It doesn't matter because I
look beautiful and I love it. Do I have to wear a doek

A song started playing everyone stood up and looked at
the entrance of the church and there she stood looking
like an angel so beautiful and perfect. Everything stood
still for a moment it was as if only her and I existed. I
couldn't hold my tears she looked gorgeous. As she took
steps towards me my heart stopped a bit the dress
looked so perfect on her. Her mother handed her to Me I
took her hand in mine. Her sister came and took her
bouquet so that I could hold both her hands. I opened
her veil and kissed her . The pastor cleared his throat
people laughed and I let her go and held both her hands.

hired to fetch people from my village and all other
villages and towns around KZN that is how it is marrying
into a royal family. They carried my kist to the groom's
gate we sang a song for the groom's family to open the
gate for us 'Baba mnumzane uyeye sivulele singene.'

Bukhosi "Yes sweetheart I'm fine I think the food got into
the wrong pipe." He responded eyeing me with puppy
eyes I see what he was trying to do. He wanted me to lie
to his father.
You could see this was making his wife angry if looks
could kill then my husband would be six feet under now.
Was she controlling him? After breakfast the wife
immediately left the table like the chair was burning her
and Bukhosi followed after her like a love sick puppy.
Owwwkay that was strange. The maids came and cleared
the table I could never get used to this life of having so
much maids around me. I took the baskets full of sweets
and went outside. The kids were already waiting for me.
The queen and the king have two kids but most of the
family members were still here and they were leaving in
the afternoon so their kids were still here too. I was
throwing the sweets everywhere and the kids would run
to the direction I have thrown the sweets at. It was fun
they were running and laughing with no care what is
happening in the world. They reminded me so much of
me when I was their age I was once like them

I was once like them happy and carefree. After that one

I needed to clear my head. I found myself in a beautiful
garden with bright colourful flowers. I sat down in the
garden bench and looked at the flowers . This place was
peaceful and had that therapeutic effect. I stayed for
hours just admiring and appreciating nature. It's amazing
on how a small seed can turn into a beautiful bright
flower. I went back inside the house and watched a
movie till late. The couple was still at it but I tried so hard
to focus on the movie and not pay attention to them.
Later on supper was served .
I was a bit dissapointed that he came all the way here just
because his father forced him to not because he wants to
spend some time with me. It was foolish of me to catch
feelings I admit but you don't choose who you fall in love
with. He took my hand and led me to the bedroom.
Bukhosi "Please take off your nightdress and let's get this
over and done with. " I did as told and I was left naked. I
stood on my tip toes and tried to kiss him he turned his
head and I kissed his cheek. That was embarrassing and
humiliating my eyes watered..... I sighed.
I did that he undressed and took his hard shaft into his
hand and stroked it. He got between my legs and
attempted to break my hymen and it was painful. He
attempted to penetrate again and he failed again. He
attempted one last time this time pushing harder and he
was in. I felt like my waist was breaking into half it was
damn painful and he was giving it to me so hard not
considering I was a virgin a minute ago.
Me "Kubuhlungu."
Bukhosi "Stop whining and take it like a big girl that you
are!! Uyatefa!!!"
Me "Okay."
Bukhosi "Why are you eyes puffy? Were you crying? ... I
don't know why you're acting like I didn't tell you the
rules of this marriage. I can never treat you the same way
I treat her. I love her she's my life."

it's been hard. I've been all alone and I needed someone
to support Me yes Bukhosi does come around often but
we don't talk much. I just can't wait to give birth and I'm
huge. A maid was assigned to me a month ago to help me
around with house chores and other stuff like buying
grocery. This pregnancy is making me lazy but all is
justified because I'm carrying twins they're heavy.

conversation.

would rather be called names than going back there. He
runs inside the house leaving me stunned.....What is he
up to now? When I get inside everyone is smiling and
looking at me. I'm still confused why they're this happy.

then she calls the queen. Mother in law says she will
find us at the hospital. Beatrice tries to call Bukhosi again
to no avail..... we finally arrived at the hospital and I was
admitted immediately because i was six centimetres
dilated the nurse kept on coming and checking how far I
was. After hours of waiting finally I was ready to give
birth to my babies. I pushed and pushed and pushed
finally my baby girl was out after pushing I felt weak.
Nurse "please don't sleep yet give me one last big push."
Nurse "Yes you can think of your Baby fight for him!!!"
I pushed again and nothing.
Me "It's fine mah I'm just happy that my kids are here
and healthy that's all that matters to me. I know me and
my kids mean nothing to him so I've accepted that." She
looks at me with a pained face.
Me "Don't look at me like that mother please I just want
this day to be a happy day for me I'm meeting my kids for
the very first time."
Me "Yeah he does."
Bukhosi "I love them I'm sorry for not being here for the
birth of our kids."
Me "It's fine I understand."

Tests were done on my twins and they were both healthy
the following day we were discharged Bukhosi came with
Sindiswa to fetch us. Haike!!! I got into the backseat and
buckled up my kids on their car seats. I'm glad he bought
them car seats at least ibuye isebenze ingqondo."
Me "No it's fine I'm just happy my kids are here and
healthy ." I said in a dismissive tone this is one topic I
hate discussing about. I had no one yes sure mother in
law was there but did I make these babies by myself?!
They're his kids as well but he treats us like we're
strangers that are trying to invade his life. I'm done
arguing with him about the same thing over and over
again. My cries just fall on deaf ears.

went for wine tasting horse riding to play games to the
zoo and to many other places and it was fun.
Me "Okay "
Me "I love you too. " we kiss then he goes back to the car.
I wave at them.
I'm way too tired to fetch my babies so I call mother in
law and tell her that I'm exhausted she understood and
agreed to babysit for me. The following morning I woke
up very early and asked the driver to take me home. I
started by buying groceries and then we drive home. I
took the groceries to the new house. Dad moved here

beautiful it has six bedrooms and each bedroom has it's
own bathroom. It has a kitchen

going out just one day I think once in a while every
parent deserves to go out and have fun just to think and
have space to breath .... lol I don't mean that your kids
suffocate you but I mean they're a lot of work so
sometimes you just need time to yourself.
Me "I get you. And thank you for making me feel less

Nqo "Sis I need to speak to you in private about
something."
Nqo "Yes"
Nqo " I'm sorry for how I behaved in the past I was
jealous of you I mean you always get the good things in
life.... you are beautiful you have a great body and I
always felt like you're better than me that's why I always
belittled you because i knew you were better in every
way than me and that hurt me a lot. And when the prince
chose you I felt like my world was turned upside down.....
mom convinced me to poison you and make the prince
marry me. Nomthandazo I'm sorry I was a horrible
sister to you and still you treated me with love and
kindness. I just want us to mend our relationship because
this relationship jealousy I have for you has made me to
take wrong decisions in life that has left me being barren
because of the amount of abortions I've done. I wanted
to be better than you so I dated rich old men and
whenever I fell pregnant mom made me abort because
the kids belonged to married men. I regret listening to
mother I wish I could turn the hands of time I swear I
would do things better and make better choices. I want
to study and make something out of my life."

heal and let go. Crying and feeling guilty about what you
did won't change anything instead it will drive you
straight to depression and lead you to suicide. Talk to
someone maybe a therapist or psychologist about what
you've been through talking to someone helps."

Bukhosi "Mkami"
I go sit down soon everyone else takes their seats and the
programme starts. Sindiswa and I were called on stage to
share a few words to our husband. I'm not much of a
public speaker so uvalo belungishaya. Sindiswa took the
mix.
Sindiswa "Greetings everyone I would like to thank each
and everyone of you for coming and celebrating this
special and beautiful day of my husband with us. There is
not much I'm going to say but I just want to say Thank
you my love for loving me this much you know when you
married a second wife I thought my marriage to you was
over. I thought you were going to love me less and
mistreat me but akushintshanga lutho instead you loved
me more everyday. I just want to say I love you and I
wish you more years
BUKHOSI
God knows how much I appreciate all the things he has
blessed me with. When I count my blessings I count my
wives twice they're the best gifts I've ever received in my
life. I never knew that I can be this happy and be at
peace in my life until I met them. One thing I love most
about them is that they love me wholeheartedly yes they
are both different. Sindiswa is more of a modern woman
she is beautiful classy glamorous she grew up in a rich
home raised by a mother who is a business woman and
then there is my sweet sweet Nomthandazo a village
girl who grew up in a poor home and has fought her way
to the top I love her ambition against all odds she has
made it and I'm proud of her. She is beautiful kind
innocent respectful and sweet. She is everything a man
wants in a woman. They are both beautiful in their own
way. Sindiswa has a medium sized body and
Nomthandazo is a big curvy woman.
Me "Ummmh I'm out of words for what you guys did for
me today. I'm grateful for seeing another year and
spending this year with the people I love. I don't know
where to start to thank each and everyone of you for
everything you have done for me especially my parents
and my two beautiful wives. To my parents I'm grateful
for the love you've given me
