Chapter 1

My name is Nomthandazo Nxumalo uMaZwide I'm 24

years old. I'm light skinned and a size 38. I have a body to
die for hips and a huge ass with a slim waist and
medium sized breasts. I grew up in a village called
eMahlabathini. Growing up I've always wanted to be a
chef or a fashion designer but in my village women are
only allowed to finish grade 12 they can not study beyond
that only men are allowed to further their education. My
mother taught me that a woman's place in the household
is in the kitchen and that a woman's purpose and duty is
to bear children for her husband. She shouldn't have
dreams of her own. I was taught from a young age how
to cook sew take care of the family and do other
household chores. I dream that one day i will leave this
village.

My parents have three daughters and I'm the second

born. My older sister Thandolwethu is married to a police
officer. She lives in the city with her husband and son so
we barely see her as we are only allowed to visit the city
during the holidays. Our dad believes that if we visit her
often we will adopt the city lifestyle. So my sister is the
one that visits us but she doesn't come often

 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.

It's morning my younger sister and i have to go to the

river to fetch water. Yup! We don't have taps in our yards
only the rich can afford that. I quickly get up and wash my
face . I wake my sister up hhhhayi this one loves
sleeping she's lazy and loves complaining so waking her
up is one hell of a job.

Me "Nqobile!!!"
Nqo "Mmmmhhhhhh!"

Me "Nqobile vuka kusile!!!! We have to go to the river."

Nqo "Can't you go alone? I'm tired."

Me " Nqobile you know I can't go alone there are a lot of

buckets that needs to be filled up and I can't do that
alone."

Nqo "Ayisuka!!!! Unesicefe Thandazo fine let me wash

my face then and change my nightdress."

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

Sponsored
 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.

Lady "Manje we Nomthandazo awuthandi yini wena

ukuba iNdlovukazi yakwa Zulu?"

Me "No I just believe that there's so much a woman can

offer this world than being someone's wife and bearing
children."
Lady "ihhhe!!! We ntombi yini leyo? A woman's purpose
is to get married and bear children for her husband
nothing less nothing more. I thought you have changed
Nomthandazo kanti usasangana? Uyoyeka nini
ukuphupha? Well get down from that high horse of yours
and face reality sisi a woman can never be equal to a man
a woman was made to be inferior to a man . You just
think you are better than us and that better stop!!"

Me "well that is what you think women as young as you

are driving their cars out there and they live in their
houses. That is all I want for myself. To live not to exist
for my name to be known out there as that brave woman
that fought against all odds to achieve her dreams and
that is what I'm going to do. And my wish is for every
woman here to open their eyes and realise that there is
life beyond this village. " they all looked at me like I've
grown a pair of horns.
I couldn't understand what the fuss was about when a
woman wanted to make a name for herself in this world.
I couldn't understand why they didn't understand what
I was trying to say that's how brainwashed all of them
were. I filled my bucket again and left. When I got home
mom was awake making fire on the chimney stove.

Chapter 3

Mom "Thandazo please open the windows I don't want

the smoke to fill the whole house you know your dad is
still resting. I have asked him reveal times to replace this
chimney because it is leaking."

Me "Okay ma." I opened all the windows.

Mom "Where's your sister?"

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.

Nqobile "Ladies sorry to break this wonderful meeting

but I have to go home."

She said taking her bucket and then we head home.

When we got home mom served us soft porridge. After
eating i fetch firewood from the forest
Sponsored

after fetching firewood I clean around the house and

start preparing lunch. Just rice and tin fish. My sister
never helps around the house. After cooking I serve my
family lunch.
Father "Iqhikiza lezintombi was here she said you guys
should come every afternoon to practice for the reed
dance that will take place next month. So Nomthandazo
you should prepare supper early so that me and your
mother can have something to eat after you two have
left for practice."
Me "Yebo baba."

Mom "I wish the prince could choose my beautiful

Nqobile she deserves to be the queen after all." She
says smiling proudly. My father just shook his head.

Dad " I think we shouldn't count our chickens before they

hatch mkami."

Mom "What do you mean Zwide? Nqobile is the most

beautiful daughter I have she's beautiful more than any
other maiden in this village. We deserve to be led by a
beautiful queen like her." She said raising her voice a
little. My father just shook his head and walked out.

Sometimes I feel like my mother doesn't love me and she

doesn't hide it from me she's always on Nqobile's side or
my older sister's side but never mine. After eating i
collected all the dishes and washed them. After washing
the dishes I started preparing supper which was just stiff
pap and spinach.

I took a bath and wore a below knee blue dress and

sandals. Then I went outside only to meet a sulking
Nqobile. This one loves behaving like a two year old she
loves throwing tantrums.
Me "And then wena waqudula nje? What's wrong with
You?"

Nqo "I'll pretend you didn't just ask me that question!

After waiting for years for you uzongbuza umbhedo!"

Me "But you know I was preparing supper nje so out of

all people you should understand because you never help
me around the house with the chores. If you helped me
we would've been done hours ago and we wouldn't be
late right?! " but No! All her majesty knows is to
complain.....I wonder if the prince really choose you
uyokwenzenjani nje ungakwazi nokuwasha I spoon lesi?"
Nqo" Whatever! Save that speech for someone who
cares. Let's go we're already late."

We arrived at the practice and we found a few maidens

around. Thank God they haven't started yet I'm sure
they're waiting for the other ladies. We wait for a few
minutes then the ladies starts coming some in groups and
some alone. Iqhikiza asked each and everyone of us to
start our own songs.

Me 🎵hamb' uyogana sekwanele.🎵

Maidens "🎵hamb' uyogana sekwanele.🎵"

Me "🎵Wen' ukhuluma kakhulu ngane kamama.🎵"

Maidens "🎵we magcino kababa.🎵"

Everyone sang their song. After practice I was among the

ladies that were chosen to lead at the reed dance and I
was more than happy. We all went our separate ways
when we got home Nqobile told my parents that I was
chosen as one of the lead singers and I saw that didn't sit
well with my mother. She was unhappy that I got chosen
instead of my sister. Well that didn't bother me at all I
didn't want to go to the reed dance anyway but I knew if I
declined they would force me to go. Well we continued
practicing and I was enjoying every single part of it but as
the day was getting closer and closer the nerves were
getting the better of me. Trust me the nerves weren't
about seeing the prince but singing in front of many
people. Remember izintombi from all parts of KwaZulu
Natal were coming to this reed dance.
Chapter 4

SOMEWHERE IN JOHANNESBURG

"I don't understand why you're mad MaKheswa because

you knew at some point I'll have to take over from my
father and you know that I have to take a wife from the
reed dance........ I told you that she's going to be my
second wife and I'll make you my first wife."
Sindiswa shot him an angry glare and clicked her tongue
and continued packing this was one topic that irritated
her to the core. She couldn't understand how an old
man like Bukhosi had no backbone. He failed to do just
one thing stand up to his father and fight for their love.
She couldn't imagine herself in a polygamous marriage
just because a man she's madly in love with doesn't have
the balls to fight for himself. Now she knew the day she
dreaded was almost here. She was scared yet hopeful
that maybe his parents will accept her with open arms
since the King has three wives. She thought of her unborn
child she wondered what kind of father Bukhosi would be
to their unborn child she didn't want him to be so busy
with the throne that he ends up neglecting his duties as a
father. She knew and understood the pain of being raised
by a single mother. She was curious to know though how
the second wife will treat her and her child and if she will
not mistreat her she always heard from people how
omamncane are loved and they use that into their
advantage to abuse first wives.
Bukhosi wondered what was on her mind. He wished she
wouldn't change her mind about marrying him because
he was madly in love with her. He didn't see his future
with no other woman but her. She was his world and
more. He took her soft hands into his then to his lips then
he placed gentle kisses on them and looked into her eyes.

"Wathula manje sthandwa sami ungikwatele yini?"

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.

Sindi "What if you change Bukhosi ? What happens when

you fall for her?"

Bukhosi "Sweetheart you're the only woman for Me I

could never look at another woman the same way I look
at you. I'm only marrying this girl to get my parents off
my back. I will not love her
Sponsored

I will not touch her. I promise I will only love you."

Sindi "Fine I hope you won't break your promise. "

Bukhosi "I won't my love you and our unborn child are
everything to me."
NOMTHANDAZO

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.

We finally arrived kwaNongoma eNyokeni we were

shown to the marquee we will sleep in . We left most of
our belongings inside the bus and went to join other
maidens outside who were singing and dancing. It was
fun you could see from the maidens glowing and
beaming faces that they were very happy to be here.
They couldn't wait to see the prince.

BUKHOSI

Sindiswa and I arrived late at night kwaNongoma we

went to greet my parents. Sindiswa was a bit sceptical
with seeing my parents she wanted me to book her into a
lodge or a guest house but I felt like it was time my
parents knew about her and our baby. I couldn't hide
them forever and I wanted to do right by her. After
exchanging greetings my father requested to speak to me
in private i was nervous because i knew very well what he
wanted us to talk about.....Sindiswa. We sat down in the
living room in silence just staring at each other. The
tension was too much you could cut it with a knife. He
stared at me for a long time and sighed.

Chapter 5

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."

Bukhosi "I know father that it is important that I choose a

wife from the reed dance and I will do just that father but
I'll take her as my second wife. Sindiswa will be
uNdlunkulu wami. I love her and we've been together for
a long time as we speak she is carrying my child."

King "I understand my son if you think you will be able to

handle both your wives then I'm giving you my blessings
since uNdlunkulu is already pregnant then the wedding
should be as soon as possible. while we send your uncles
to ask for your second wife's hand in marriage and pay
her bride price you should marry your first wife."

Bukhosi "Hau baba you speak as if this second wife is

here already." I said laughing " But I agree with what
you're saying. The last thing I want is for my child to be
born out of wedlock. I I just hope I see someone I like
from the reed dance."

King "Khululeka Ndodana ngeke uhlale ungamtholi Zinhle

iyntombi zakwa Zulu."
Bukhosi "Hhhayi makusho wena baba."

His father nodded his head he got up and shook his

son's hand.

King "Mageba you're a man I'm so proud of you son.

Treat them both equally and you shall have a happy
home."

NOMTHANDAZO

We barely slept the ladies were singing and dancing all

night. Today is the day for virginity testing. All maidens
woke up early and we went to bath in the river. One
thing I hate about this ceremony is this cold water I can
never get used to it. I wonder if there is no snake here
this water gives me the creeps I don't want to end up
being swallowed by a huge snake. I still want to live. The
maidens were singing and playing with the water
happiness was written all over their faces. I could see
Nqobile was enjoying herself too and that made happy.
We went back and we were tested a white dot was
placed on our foreheads to symbolise that we are still
pure. You could see some maidens were scared I wonder
why maidens who are no longer virgins comes to such
events because they just get embarrassed and
humiliated.

The following day we went to cut umhlanga by the

riverbed other rituals were completed too. Finally the
day everyone has been waiting for was here. We woke up
early in the morning

 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

Me "🎵ngoba intombi ingaqoma ingiyeke.🎵"

Maidens "🎵iyeke mngani.🎵"

Me "🎵ngithath' intambo ngiybeke emqaleni🎵"

Maidens "🎵iyeke mngani🎵"

Me "🎵laph' uyothola ngizilengise khona🎵"

Maidens and I " 🎵iyeke we mngani leyondaba

ibuhlungu🎵"

Me "🎵iyeke we mngani wami🎵"

Maidens "🎵iyeke mngani🎵"

Me "🎵Owwh iyeke we mngani wami🎵"

Maidens and me "🎵iyeke we mngani leyondaba

ibuhlungu.🎵"

Maidens "iyeke mngani."

BUKHOSI

I was sitting next to my father at the reed dance my mind

wasn't even here I just wanted to get this over and done
with. Sindiswa wasn't sitting next to me since she wasn't
my wife yet so she was sitting amongst other people so
that it won't raise suspicions. You could tell by how other
maidens were dancing that they were trying too hard to
impress me but one maiden caught my eye she started a
song with her melodious sweet and peaceful voice. She
sounded like Nelisiwe Sibiya that lady that sings mama ka
Bafana. You could tell that she was shy and was a bit
scared. I loved how her ass jiggled when she danced I'm
not a pervert but her beautiful round ass was just out
there. She had an hour glass beautiful body . I'm not one
to go for big girls but there was just something unique
about her. I tried to erase my lustful thoughts and
focused on the ceremony. I had to find out who that
maiden is she'll be my second wife.

Chapter 6

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.

The celebration continued I couldn't keep my eyes off

her she was so beautiful i won't lie. And when she smiled
bekuthi faca eyhlathini. I remembered the promise I
made to Sindiswa and I quickly recollected myself and
thoughts.

After the ceremony cows were slaughtered and we were

given meat to take home. We packed our bags and
prepared to go to our homes when the King's guard got
inside our marquee and went to speak to iqhikiza.

Guard "The king requests your presence .

Iqhikiza "Okay we can go please pack guys so that when I

come back we shall leave I don't want us to leave late at
night." We nodded our heads then she walked out with
the guard. I wonder why the King requests to see iqhikiza
what does he want to discuss with her ? Well I'm sure she
will tell us when she comes back. Everyone was just as
curious as I am. The excitement in Nqobile's face couldn't
be missed.

Nqo "I said it!!! The prince chose Me I'm sure that is what
the King wants to discuss with iqhikiza."

There she goes again! I rolled my eyes this girl really

thinks the world revolves around her and she controls it
with her little finger. She's the only human and we're just
statues. I hate how my sister looks down on other
maidens just because she is beautiful she doesn't
understand that the ream beauty of a person is found
inside not outside. We listened to her gloating
Sponsored

she doesn't understand that the ream beauty of a

person is found inside not outside. We listened to her
gloating iqhikiza came back smiling.

Iqhikiza "MaNxumalo you were chosen by the prince he

asked me to give this letter to your parents."
Nqobile jumped up and down in joy celebrating that she
was chosen.

Iqhikiza "Not you Nqobile Nomthandazo the prince

chose you."

What?!!!! Iyasangana yini lendoda!!!! I felt like dying I

didn't want to get married so soon worst to the prince .
We carried our bags to the bus and boarded the bus. The
mood inside the bus was sour you could see that my
sister was not happy that I was chosen instead of her.
Some maidens were laughing at her and that really broke
my heart I mean she's the one that wanted to get
married to the prince. When we got home she left the
meat in the table and went to our bedroom without
saying a word to me she didn't even greet our parents
who were sitting in the lounge.

Chapter 7

Mom "What's wrong with your sister?"

Me "I don't know maybe she's tired."

I gave the letter to dad he read and smiled wasukuma

wagiya. My mom was puzzled by his behaviour that she
took the letter from him and read it herself. She seemed
shocked and pissed she tore the letter into pieces and
walked out this wasn't a new behaviour to me. My father
just looked at her and continued celebrating. Later that
day dad called a family meeting our uncle and his wife
that lives in the village were also part of the meeting. We
all sat down and waited for father to speak.

Dad "I'm glad everyone is here the reason I called this

meeting is to inform everyone that the Zulu Royal family
sent a letter asking for my daughter's hand in marriage
they also informed us that they are coming Next week to
pay lobola for Nomthandazo."

My aunt ululated umalume wasukuma wagiya. My mom

and sister were the only ones in sour moods. Father
bought beers for men and soft drinks for the ladies. We
made beef stew rice and salads with my aunt since my
mom and Nqobile didn't want to help out. Food and
drinks were served. Later my aunt and uncle left. I was
feeling drowsy. I took a bath and changed into my
nightdress. I was fixing my pillows when my mom and
Nqobile got inside the room and sat on my sister's bed.
My mom smiled at Me.....Okay that's a first

weird I tell you.

Mom "Nomthandazo mntanami I know that you've
always wanted to be a chef or a fashion designer so why
don't you let your sister marry the prince then I'll speak
to you father to allow you to go to the city to study? You
only have to decline their request and offer your sister to
the prince as your substitute. " I knew she wasn't here as
my mother as always she was here to speak for her evil
and lazy daughter. Is this woman even my mother? I felt
so shattered and hurt so I don't deserve good things in
my life only Nqobile And Thandolwethu deserves them?

Me "Am I your daughter mother?"

Mom "What does that have anything to do with the

conversation we're having now?"
Me "I'm just curious mother as to how a mother could
have so much hatred for a child she carried nine months.
No woman would ask her daughter what you're asking
me to do right now. Instead of being happy for Me
mother you're asking me to give up the only good thing
in my miserable life for your selfish daughter? Are for real
mother?!" I asked crying my heart was broken I've
never felt this kind of pain before.

Mom "please do it for your sister. This has always been

her dream. She has always wanted this. She deserves to
be the queen you and I both know that." This was the last
straw for me this woman in front of me had sick guts.
Me " If tables were turned do you think she would do the
same for Me mother?" She kept quiet and looked down.

Me "If you don't mind I want to sleep I've had a long day I
need to rest I have an early morning tomorrow. "

Chapter 8

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

they also charge them some money. I've been looking at

them through my bedroom window I'm not supposed to
come out of my bedroom until the lobola negotiations
are done or if they ask for Me my cousins are keeping me
company.
After some time we were called to the lounge . I'm
wearing a long red dress a gold head wrap white
'umhlonipho with gold sandals. We got into the lounge
bowing our heads and we sat down on the grass mats.
The Zulu's were asked to choose their bride. They had to
be careful not to choose the wrong girl because my
father was going to charge them a fine. They discussed
amongst themselves then one uncle stood up and
pointed at me. My father looked at me and asked

Father "My daughter do you know these people?"

Me "Yebo baba ngiyabazi." I replied with my head still

bowed down. In our culture this symbolises respect. We
were told to go back to our room. The negotiations
continued after some time we heard ululations in the
lounge a truck full of cows got inside the yard. My
cousin Thandeka came and stood next to me and we
both looked outside

Thandeka "hhayi uqophe umlando umkhwenyana

wazishaya zonke zaphelela. I've never seen something as
beautiiful as this"

Me "he has really outdone himself. "

Thandeka "Zinhle iynkomo zakho sisi they're beautiful

just like you."

Me "Thank you so much cuz." I said hugging her.

Chapter 9

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.

Me "What is this for mother?"

Mom "Are you dumb Nqobile obviously this is the poison

we will use to kill her."

Me "Mother!!! She is my sister!"

Mom "Owh please Nqobile just do the damn thing you do

want to be the queen right?"

Me "Yes I do but not like this....Mother this is wrong."

Mom "It is not wrong just think of it as the key to your

success. This will open doors for you. If Nomthandazo
dies right now the royal family has already paid lobola for
her so we will give them you for free. "

Me "Mom I can't kill my sister."

Mom "She's not you fucken sister!!!!!!!!!!

Me "What do you mean mother?"

Mom "Just do this thing for me baby. Please.

Me "Fine but this is not right. "

Mom "I know but this is for your future."

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.

NOMTHANDAZO

My aunt knocked and came inside the room.

Aunt "Well ntombi the lobola negotiations went well you

now belong to the Zulu family congratulations my
daughter. "
Me " Thank you so much Aunt thank you for being here
and for everything you've done for me since Wednesday
you've been working hard to make sure that everything
goes well today."

Aunt "Awwwww it's nothing my love you can go out from

this room now. Go and serve your husband food he's in
the lounge with his uncles. "

We all went out from the bedroom to the kitchen. I took

a plate and dished up for my husband. I went to the
lounge I was still looking around and searching where
my husband was seated when our eyes met we locked
eyes for a moment and I quickly broke the staring contest
and looked down. I went to him and got on my knees
then served him his food. My aunt and cousins served all
the men that were in the lounge. It was finally time for
me to eat I was starving. I went to the kitchen to dish up
for myself I took an empty plate. Nqobile walked inside
the kitchen with a full plate.

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."

She smiled at Me. Okay what the hell is going on with

her? My gut feeling told me that she was up to
something but I brushed it off.

Me "No thank you but I'll dish up for myself I want a

warm meal."

Nqo "Come on sis I just want to make peace between us."

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."

Me "Fine let me take a spoon from the drawer."

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.

Me "OMG!! I'm so sorry."

Nqo "What have you done ?!!!!! Look at what your
clumsy stupid ass has done!!!!!" She was breathing fire.

Me "Relax Nqobile it's just food I can always dish up

another plate. No need to bite my head off.

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

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.

Prince "Hi can I have a word with you outside please?"

Me "Yeah sure. Lead the way."

I followed the prince outside to his car. We stood outside

his car.
Prince "We didn't get much time to talk today but there is
something important I need to tell you."

Me "Okay tell me."

Prince "I'm getting married tomorrow to my first wife."

Lol! He is joking. I laughed .

Me "You almost got me there."

Prince "I'm serious. Angidlali."

Me "Then why did you pay lobola for me?"

Prince "to strengthen the relationship between the royal

family and my people I had to choose a wife from the
reed dance and I chose you."

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."

I was still in shock so he did all this just to impress society

at my happiness' expense . How could he be so cruel? I
know I hated marriage at first but I was willing to try with
him. I quickly wiped my tears.
Me "It's fine you've already paid lobola for me I feel like
you should've told me this before paying lobola for me
but it's fine. ." He gave me a plastic bag.

Prince "I would like you to attend the wedding tomorrow

it wouldn't look good if you don't attend. Inside that
plastic bag there's a dress and heels I bought block heels
it would be easy for you to walk on. The makeup artist
and hair stylist will be here in the morning to fix your hair
and do your makeup."

I nodded my head words failed me I just felt like this

was a bad dream like someone would come and wake me
up.
"Let me take my leave now our wedding is in two weeks
we'll have a traditional wedding.

Chapter 11
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.

I went back to my room and changed into my dress and

went outside to where Nqobile was drinking with her
friends many people were still inside the yard drinking.

Me "Nqobile can I see you for a minute."

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

Me "Nqobile our dog is dead."

Nqobile "Nomthandazo don't tell me you pulled me out
of my drinking session to tell me about a dead dog."

Me "No that's not all

many people were still inside the yard drinking.

Me "Nqobile can I see you for a minute."

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

Me "Nqobile our dog is dead."

Nqobile "Nomthandazo don't tell me you pulled me out

of my drinking session to tell me about a dead dog."

Me "No that's not all do you know what is strange? it

died after I fed it the food you were pushing me to eat.
Nqobile were you trying to poison Me?"

Nqo "Owh please Thandazo why would I do that?"

Me "I don't know maybe because you're jealous that I'm

getting married to the prince." She laughed

Nqo " Thandazo stop wasting my time!"

Me "Nqobile just admit it!!! You did put something In

that food."

Nqo "And what if I did? What are you going to do when

you find out that I did put something In there? Just get
over it Nomthandazo you're not dead angithi ubanga
iscefe nje ngento engekho!"

Me " Wow!!!! So what if I had eaten that food?"

Nqo "Then you would have died simple!!!!"

Me "Do you know what is more scary to Me? Is that
you're not even showing any remorse for what you did
Nqobile what happened to you?! Why are you this toxic
and bitter?!"

Nqo "I should show remorse for what i did to you?! You?!
Nomthandazo you failed to do just one sacrifice for
Me...... you failed to just decline marrying the prince for
me and then you want me to feel sorry for what i did?
You must be crazy!!!!!"

Me " Nqobile tell me what haven't I done for you?!

Nqobile from sibancane I have made a lot of sacrifices for
you I have sacrificed my toys for you my clothes my
energy I do everything in this house and i never complain
and all you do is just sit around and be beautiful all day. I
have given up a lot of things for You Nqobile but it is
never enough for you it will never be enough. Aweneli. "

Nqo " This conversation is just a waste of my time so

excuse me 'princess' I have better things to do." She
walked. So my gut feeling was right she tried to
poison Me and she is not even denying it. How wicked
can she get? I'm done trusting her and her mother.
Chapter 12

I couldn't fall asleep I was deep in thoughts and the noise

outside was just too much. People were still drinking
kanti How much alcohol did father buy? It was in the
middle of the night when Nqobile got inside our room
staggering it was obvious she was drunk.

Nqo " Well........ look there she is....... The bride of the
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
love with someone else?"
Me "What is it to you Nqobile? How are my decisions any
of your business? And where did you hear about my
fiance' s wedding?"

Nqo "Owwwwh you didn't know? .....his wedding

invitations were all over......this village. He "Burp "he has
made a joke out of you. You are a fool."

Me "Hlukana nami Nqobile at least I didn't try to poison

my sister because of a man that didn't choose me."
Nqo "Owwhhh please you deserved it!"

Nqo "Washiyela bani ibele? " she laughed a wicked and
mocking laugh "Hambofuna unyoko uhambe u claim
ukuthi abazali babantu abakho." She says getting under
her blankets.

Me "What do you mean by that ? Huh?!!" I hear her

snoring loudly dammit!!!!!

Me "Nqobile!!!!!! Nqobile!!!!!! I shook her but it seemed

like she had passed out.

I tossed and turned the whole night i couldn't sleep what

Nqobile said was eating me up....what did she mean
when she said I should go look for my mother and stop
claiming people's parents as my own? Is there something
she knows that I don't? I don't know when i fell asleep
but I was woken up by a knock. I went to open and a
beautiful lady got inside.

Lady " Hi I hope I'm in the right house my name is Olerato

and I'm a make-up artist and hair stylist uwena
iNkosazane?"

Me "Owwhhh yes imina......let me quickly bath."

Olerato "Please do I need to start on working on your

face and hair."

Me "Okay."

Chapter 13

Shit!!! I overslept maybe it's because of all the thinking

stressing and crying I did last night i had bags under my
eyes. I took a plastic bathing basin and poured water
inside it I didn't have much time to make fire in the
chimney stove and wait for it to boil. I bathed in front of
Olerato I had no choice she was busy complimenting
my body. Nqobile was sitting on her bed drinking coffee
and giving me shady looks.

Nqo "mina ngikutshela ngomuntu obelotsholwa izolo but

today she's attending her husband's wedding. Life neh!!!"
She laughed then clapped her hands.

Me "if you don't have anything nice to say to me just

keep quiet. No one has ever died from keeping silent."
She rolled her eyes I didn't understand where all this
hatred was coming from. My sister and I had a great
relationship growing up even though mom had her two
favourites I never took that into heart I loved my sisters
the same. What Nqobile is doing right now is new to Me

Sponsored

the shades she is throwing all because of a man that

didn't choose her is really unfair.

Nqo "I can't keep quiet you stole him from Me you
deserve every single pain that's coming to you. Man
snatcher. "

She looked at me up and down and laughed walking out.

I felt embarrassed she didn't have to do that in front of a
guest. Nqobile really has no timing.

Me "I'm sorry you had to witness that my sister has

changed a lot lately ever since the prince asked for my
hand in marriage she has made life difficult for me."

Olerato "Don't worry I understand not everyone is

going to be happy with your success . Don't mind her
she's just jealous but I'm sure she'll come around."
Me " I hope so cause I need my sister back."

She started working on my face beat and styled my afro.

After she was done I looked at myself in the mirror and
Wow!!! I didn't recognise the woman staring back at me.
I looked amazing.

Olerato "You look beautiful like a true queen"

Me "Thank you so much."

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
today ? I don't want to start my relationship with my in
laws on bad terms bethi anghloniphi just because
angilifakanga iduku.

Chapter 14
Olerato "Well it's like I knew you were going to want a
doek so I got you this beautiful white and gold head wrap
it will go well with your dress and heels. I will tie it in a
way that your hairstyle is also visible. "

Argh Man!! Isn't she a sweetheart? I think instead of a

makeup artist I got an angel she's so sweet and kind too.

Me "Than you so much my love I don't know what I

would've done without you."
She smiled and hugged me she's so sweet.

Today

I don't want anyone to ruin this big day for me.

Bukhosi and I met in university we both studied BCOM in

economics and econometrics he was doing his third year
and I was doing my first year. In university he was a ladies
man and popular on campus but I had hope that he will
change and he did change. We have fought laughed but
most importantly we have loves each other so deeply I
don't imagine my life without him. On my hardest days
he has been my rock and my strength the reason why I
hold on. He's my king and I'd be honoured to serve and
submit only to him for the rest of my life. He's my Life
there's no me without him. Our story is your typical
college love story we were kids who were madly in love
with each other.

My make-up artist finished doing my makeup then she

and my sister helped me put on my wedding dress. My
dress was a long and white ball gown well I chose a ball
gown because i wanted to have my own fairytale
moment. My sister helped me put on my heels.. Wow!
When I looked at myself in the mirror I teared up I looked
beautiful.
"No no now we don't want you ruining your make-up."

Me "OMG !!! mom when did you get here?!!" I asked

hugging her . Mom was overseas for the past six months
she's a well known business woman.

Mom "Well you didn't think I'd miss my daughter's big

dad? Did you?" I smiled.

Mom "You look beautiful my baby I can't believe you've

grown into this beautiful woman who is about to get
married and become a mother. Time do flies."
Me "Yeah I know I still don't believe it myself."

Chapter 15

Mom" there's no better advice I'd give you than love your
husband respect him support him and through everything
don't give up on him. Throughout the years I've seen you
guys love each other. Don't let families come between
the two of you. And ukhuphule ama gear girl do the
things in the bedroom uphe indoda ikhekhe layo wena

Me "Mom stop it!! You're so nasty."

Mom "What did I do? I was just telling it as it is."

Me "Lol I will do just that Mom."

The driver knocked on my door my sister opened for him

and he got inside.
Driver "Ndlunkulu it's time to go sebemi ngawe."

I took a deep breath. My mom helped me put on my veil

and gave me my bouquet. She hugged and kissed me.
Well my father passed on when I was very young so my
mom will walk me down the aisle I know he is celebrating
this day with me. The Rolls Royce ghost 2019 was here to
fetch 'your highness' I went crazy this is my dream car.
When I got inside fuck Me!!!! I teared my fingers on the
leather seats.....owwkayyy this car smells like money. The
ride to church was rather short I was a nervous wreck. I
kept on taking long breaths because I was nervous. On
our way to church my mom kept on calming me down
and helping me drink water I think it was helping a bit I'm
glad she was here or else I would've fainted a long time
ago. We arrived in church

I'm glad she was here or else I would've fainted a long

time ago. We arrived in church my mom helped me out
of the car. My sister and other bridesmaids got inside the
church. I took one last deep breath.

This is it I'm doing this.......

BUKHOSI
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.

Pastor "son we haven't gotten to that part yet." People

erupted in laughter. " Dear beloved we are gathered here
to join Bukhosi Zulu and Sindiswa Kheswa in holy
matrimony." The pastor went on and preached about
marriage the importance of marriage and how to behave
and conduct yourself as a married person.

Pastor "The couple have prepared their own vows makoti

you can go first."

Chapter 16

She took a deep breath.

Sindiswa "ummmh I'm so nervous ungidlisile lobhuti."
People laughed "Well here goes nothing our love has
been a journey you know I didn't think that one day I'd be
standing in front of you today pouring out my heart to
you in front of thousands of People but one thing I knew
was that our love was going to fight for us. I've loved you
for the longest time I want to continue loving you for the
rest of my life. You've been my strength when i was weak
my joy in times of sorrow. Sometimes we both wanted to
let go but our hearts didn't let us. We've had our sad
moments our weakest moments and our happiest
moments we're still going to have them but I'm grateful
that I had to share all those moments with you because I
wouldn't have preferred sharing those moments with no

women ululated.

Pastor "It's your turn mkhwenyana."

Me "I don't know what to say I think from the first

moment I saw you I knew you were the one for me. I
loved you from the first day we met and when we first
kissed I was in heaven. You've been my biggest
cheerleader my success I owe it all to you you'd stay up at
night helping me build my companies not even once have
I ever heard you complain. I love you and I'll spend the
rest of my life proving my love to you. Your embraces
are home to Me no other woman will ever match up to

your face is the first thing I want to see when i wake up.
Thank you for loving me my heart. I promise live and
cherish you for richer or poorer in sickness and in
health till death do us apart . This is my solemn vow."

Pastor "It's time to exchange rings makoti you'll say after

Me I give you this ring....

Sindiswa "I Sindiswa Kheswa give you this ring as a token

of my love and devotion to you. As I place it in your finger
I commit my heart and soul to you. I ask you to wear this
ring as a reminder of the vows we have exchanged here

Pastor "Groom it's your tun"

Me" I Bukhosi Zulu give you this ring as a token of my

love and devotion to you I commit my heart and soul to

we have exchanged here today." I said placing the ring on
her finger.

Pastor "Mkhwenyana we've finally arrived to your

favourite part by the power vested in me I now
pronounce as husband and wife. You may kiss your
bride."

I kissed her like my life depended on it. The pastor

announced that we are now husband and wife. We did
the step and went out of the church.

Chapter 17

I looked at them exchanging their vows will I ever have

that with him? I'm jealous of her not because she's pretty
or anything but because she's got his heart something I
knew I'll never own even if I tried. I didn't understand
where all these feelings and emotions were coming
from? Was I falling in love with him? It saddened me that
as young as I am I'll be in a loveless marriage. I looked at
them burning with envy.

We went to the wedding reception it was so beautiful.

The couple and their wedding party got inside the
wedding reception with a step. People took out their
phones and took videos. The couple sat at their table and
they were served food. There was a queue for everybody
else to dish up for themselves I was about to join the line
when a lady came to me and served me my food from
starters to main course to dessert.
Ever since I got here he didn't even look my way. I don't
think he cares if I came or not what matters is that he's
married now to the love of his life the woman of his
dreams the mother of his children. What was I thinking?
He was never mine to begin with.

When their friends and family said speeches I took my

bag and walked out of the wedding reception

Sponsored

it was no use for me to stay there. The driver took me

back home I arrived a bit late. At least they've cooked .
I went to my bedroom Nqobile was sleeping so I took off
my dress and heels and took a bathing basin I poured
cold water and took a bath. After bathing I wore my
nightdress and got under the blankets. I was tired and
heartbroken I thought he was joking when he said was
getting married but he was serious. I just couldn't go
through with the wedding. I had to talk to father about
this. I slept with a heavy heart.

The following day I woke up early and did my morning

routine and did all my chores. Father was sitting in the
lounge reading a newspaper. This was my chance to
speak to him. I made him a cup of tea and served it to
him.

Me "Baba here's a cup of tea wehlise ukoma. "

Dad "Thank you my dear..... I know you very well
MaZwide and right now you're trying to bribe me with
tea....so out with it what do you want?"

Me "Well Baba Bukhosi got married yesterday to another

wife I thought I was going to be the only woman for him
but already sekunomnakwethu.....can't we cancel the
wedding sibuyisele izinkomo zakoMageba emumva?"

Dad "Nomthandazo Bukhosi is soon to be a king so it is

expected for him to take as many wives as he wants
there's nothing new in that."
Me "Father you do not understand..... he loves her what
will happen to Me?"

Dad "When time goes on he will learn to love you.....we

cannot cancel the wedding that will give us a bad name

Me "Baba ngiyakucela. "

Dad "Nomthandazo!! Stop it!!! This marriage will give you
a great future maybe one day your son will be a King
don't you want that?"

Chapter 18

Me "Baba I don't want any of that I just want to be happy

and already I'm not happy.... Bukhosi has told me that he
can never love me father I do not want to live a
miserable life."
Dad "I hear you but there's nothing I can do... endure for
the time being trust me no man in his right mind can not
fall in love with you. Nomthandazo mntanami have faith
in God you have grown up now and us returning your
lobola back may hinder chances of you finding a husband
in future. Do you want to live here forever with your
abusive mother? Huh? You think i don't see the way she
treats you Nomthandazo? I see it and know it all. There
are better things waiting for you out there you just have
to trust God he wouldn't have made him choose you if it
wasn't his plan. Trust God's process and in time

NOMTHANDAZO

The following week I took umbondo to my in-laws

baskets full of fruits and vegetables and other many
grocery items to the palace. The prince wasn't there he
was on a honeymoon with his first wife. People with
phones showed me the pictures and they looked so
happy and perfect together. I felt like a third wheel in
their marriage.

My relationship with my younger sister and mother

hasn't changed it was still the same sometimes I felt like
it was getting worse than before. A week passed on
Thursday a royal maiden was sent to give me my
traditional wedding clothes. All the planning and
preparation of the wedding was done by queen mother
and Zakithi they would ask for my opinion here and there
but they did most of it all so I didn't have a say in most
things. The ceremony started on Friday dad did my
umemulo it was a great day of traditional singing and
dancing. We ate drank and celebrated. In the afternoon
I was packing my clothes this moment was emotional and
difficult for me. I looked at my bedroom and sighed

this moment was emotional and difficult for me. I

looked at my bedroom and sighed even though these
past few weeks i haven't gotten the best treatment from
my mother and sister I'm going to miss this place. This is
the only home I know even though it has bittersweet
memories but I'll miss it a lot. I'll miss my Father I'll miss
my mother too lol yeah I know she can be a pain in the
ass sometimes but I still love her. I was taken to the kraal
with my kist my father is a traditional man so we had to
do all the Zulu traditions accordingly. I cried the pain of
leaving my family forever was just too much for me to
handle. Later on my family and I left to kwaNongoma.
On Saturday the big day was here. My older sister was
here with her husband and son and she was so happy for
Me. Early in the morning I was given advices by old
women on how to behave as a married woman and how
to treat my husband . When they were done Olerato did
my make-up and styled my hair. When she was done she
helped me wear my Zulu traditional attire isidwaba
which is a leather skirt worn by the bride isicwayi which is
the skin used to cover the bride's breasts beaded
necklace bracelets and anklets. I put on inkehli on my
head I was carrying a small knife which symbolised that
I'm still a virgin. I looked beautiful like a true Zulu bride.

Chapter 20
We spent a night at a lodge kwaNongoma buses were
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.'
We sang this sonsong until they decided to open the gate
for us when we inside we continued with the song "Iyoo
sangena sangena. Iyooh sangena phakathi.'

They led us to esigcawini where the wedding was to take

place. The two families competed against each other
through the medium of Zulu traditional songs iphoyisa
asked.
"uyabuza umthetho ukuthi uyamthanda na?" I was told
ukuthi ngihlabe ummese phambi kwamyeni wami and I
did that.

After that we proceeded to the gifting ceremony I was

gifting my in laws with blankets grass mats pinafores for
women costs and hat's for men and other gifts. The
gifting ceremony took too long and I was dead tired.
When the gifting ceremony was done and everyone was
not looking I ran away lol this is part of our Zulu culture
it's part of the wedding games umakoti uyabaleka and
she runs until she gets to her home the groom's family
have to pay a fine so that they can get their bride back.
Luckily they caught me before I could get anywhere. Well
that was fun.
It was at night now my family was leaving and I was a
crying mess. I even wanted to leave with them. It was
overwhelming to see them leave but ke it is what it is.
After they've left I was shown to my house by one of the
palace maids well you heard right I have a house here but
it wasn't big it had two bedrooms

Sponsored

a kitchen a dining room a lounge a small store room

and a bathroom. If Nqobile and I were still on good terms
she was going to visit me here often she would have
loved this place. It is beautiful. They have put all my
things in my house including my gifts kist and clothes. The
palace maids shown me how everything operates I
stripped and got into the bathtub well this is what I need
after a long day of singing and dancing. It is so relaxing. I
got out of the water and wrapped a towel around my
body. I lotioned my body and wore my nightdress and got
under the blankets well I was exhausted so the royal
family was just going to have to deal.

Early in the morning I was woken by a knock at the door I

took a gown that was hanging from my closet and went
to open the door . Just my luck it was my sister wife.

Her "Good morning I see you slept well I'm Sindiswa your
sister wife. As you know I'm the eldest daughter in law of
this family so I'm here to tell you the rules of this family."
Me "Okay"

Sindiswa "Breakfast is at six please do not be late. Lunch

is at twelve and then snacks are served at two supper is
at eight. "

Okay I can handle this.

Sindiswa "Right now I was instructed to tell you that after

breakfast as a new bride there's a tradition done where
the bride gives young children of the family sweets and
another thing asizivaleli ezindlini zethu laykhaya mother
in law hates that so we are not allowed to spend all day
in our houses we only come here to bath or to sleep."

Chapter 21

I nodded my head I wanted to hate her but she looked

beautiful with her baby bump.

Sindiswa "Okay that's about it. Oh!!! Another thing I

almost forgot here's your phone familiarise yourself with
it it'll help you set alarms so that you won't be late in
the morning. That's all.

Me "Okay thank you."

Sindiswa "Oh! I almost forgot I hope my husband did you

the rules of this marriage."

Me "He did tell me."

Sindiswa "That's good don't have any expectations he is
mine and mine alone!"

Me "Ngiyakuzwa sisi."

Sindiswa "Great then I think we're done here.....have a

great day."

She got out I checked the time on the wall watch and
the time was five o'clock I went to the bathroom to
freshen up. After bathing I wore my long red dress silver
sandals silver head wrap and silver satin umhlonipho.
When I was done I checked the time again it was now
5:50 I locked my house and rushed to the palace

Sponsored

the yard of this place is very big so walking from my

house to the main house took me a whole ten minutes
and that was because i was rushing so on any other
normal day it could take me up to 15 minutes. When I got
there i didn't know where the dining room is luckily I
found a maid that took me to the dining room and I got
there on time. I didn't know where to sit so the king
instructed that I sit next to my husband. He didn't even
pay attention to me he was busy feeding his wife and she
was giggling like a little girl.
King "So makoti how was your first night in our lovely
home?"

Me "Oh it was great baba thank you you have a

wonderful home by the way."

King "Thank you my daughter this is your home too now.

So did anything happen between you and my son last
night?"
The prince chocked on his food and his wife rushed and
poured water for him and rubbed his back. He looked at
me panicked was it because he didn't spend our wedding
night with Me? That hurt a lot."

Sindiswa "Darling are you Okay?"

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.

Me "No Baba nothing happened we were both tired last

night." I faked a smile Bukhosi and Sindiswa cleared their
throats they knew I was lying to save them.

King "Bukhosi you know that we need the sheet. "

Bukhosi looked at his wife and cleared his throat.

Bukhosi "We will do it today Baba you'll get your sheet."

Chapter 22

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

Sponsored

I was once like them happy and carefree. After that one
of the maids came to tell me that I was asked to prepare
lunch this is part of family traditions.

SINDISWA
Wow!!! So he's going to sleep with her after promising
me he's not going to do it.

Bukhosi "Babe it's only a once off thing. If i don't do it you

know how father is going to react. "

Me "But you promised!"

Bukhosi "I know"

Me "Why can't you stand up to your father?"

Bukhosi "I can't! I can't disrespect my father like that

please just understand it will be a once off thing."

Me "Can't we just go far away from this? From this

house? From the throne?"

Bukhosi "Baby we can not do that it might cause

problems for our kids in the future."
Me "fine but only once if you sleep with her again I'm
done and I mean it..........

Me "Your baby wants pizza."

I didn't understand shit but for peace sake I had to act

like I understand.

Bukhosi "What flavour?"

Me "Something meaty."

Bukhosi " coming right up ma'am let me order it via lalela

foods." I smiled he kissed my forehead and lips.

Bukhosi "I love you baby."

Me "I love you too."

We shared a passionate kiss.

Chapter 23

NOMTHANDAZO

Around ten I went to prepare lunch for the family. I think

my father contributed a lot to my love for cooking every
month when he got paid he would buy me cooking
books. I made chicken wings and chicken wraps father
understood that women weren't supposed to study
further but there was no harm in trying new recipes I
believe that is why he bought those books. Then we
would go to the market together to buy ingredients so
that I can try at least one recipe from the cooking books.
My father is amazing and I'm forever grateful to God for
that wonderful man. I prepared the table and fruits I
made fresh orange juice. When i was done cooking I laid
all the food in the table people took their seats and
dished up for themselves and my sister wife dished up for
our husband then we indulged on our food in
comfortable silence.

King "Makoti this is a lovely and delicious meal."

Me "Thank you so much father."

When everyone was done eating I cleared the table and

went to watch television in the lounge since there was
nothing else that I needed to do. Just my luck!! The
couple was there feeding each other pizza. They would
feed each other and giggle this was starting to annoy
me. I tried to focus on the movie but I just couldn't they
were too much. I left them there 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

 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 .

Queen "Bukhosi don't forget what your father requested

from you this morning."
Bukhosi " Yes mother."

After supper a guard accompanied me to my house.

When I got there I showered and wore my silk nightdress
and got under the covers. I had no hope that Bukhosi was
going to come. Sengifikelwa ubthongo there was a knock
at the door I went to open the door and It was Bukhosi.

Me "Myeni wami....... I .... I thought you were no longer

coming. " I was stammering I couldn't believe he was
really here and right now as he is standing in front of me
he is making me so nervous and the butterflies in my
stomach are not making it easy for me."
Bukhosi "Nomthandazo my parents want the sheet so
that's the only reason I'm here!"

Me "Owhh I get It."

Bukhosi "are you going to let me in or should I just go

back?" That was rude

Me "Ummh I'm sorry come in. " he got in and I locked

the door.
Chapter 24

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.

Me "I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that."

Bukhosi " We'll do everything my way. Get on the bed

and spread your legs wide."

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!!!"

He went on and on until I felt numb. This man wasn't

making love to Me he was fucking me like a cheap
prostitute he just bought on the street. There was no
passion no emotion
Sponsored

no emotion no love or whatever. I just laid there

feeling numb as he was moving in and out of me.

Bukhosi "You're so fucking tight."

He said dipping his head into my neck. I just laid there

and let him have his way with my body. He tensed up and
growled shooting a warm liquid deep into my womb. I
waited until he was finished then he moved from on top
of me and slept with his back facing towards me. After
that he took his phone and called his wife. I listened to
him telling her how much she means to him. They talked
over an hour. He dropped the call and fixed his pillow.

Me "Mageba ngicela ukufunda."

Bukhosi " Nomthandazo you are a royal wife you won't

be able to handle both school and your wifely duties."

Me "But you promised me."

Bukhosi " I know what I said and I didn't promise you
anything. I have spoken and I believe as the man in this
household my word is final. If you want to study then
shiya emagcekeni akoMageba. "

I was tricked here. He lied to Me Wow! I felt used I cried

myself to sleep.

The following day I was woken up by him shaking me.

Bukhosi " Please wake up I need to take off the sheet."

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."

That was like he was twisting the knife on my wound. I

nodded my head I didn't want to cry in front of him that
would give him the satisfaction that he broke me. I
helped him take off the sheet and went to shower.
When I got off the shower he was long gone. I sighed and
wore a black maxi dress with black flip flops and white
umhlonipho. I locked my house and went to the palace.
Walking was difficult and the pain was unbearable.

Chapter 25

I took my seat and dished up for myself.

King "Makoti I think after eating you should go and rest
the maids will call you when lunch is ready.

Queen "I agree baba you must be tired dear you should
rest."

I nodded my head. The table was quiet today I was

feeling pain on my nuna so I didn't care why there was so
much uncomfortable silence and tension in this table.
After eating Bukhosi's younger sister helped Me get back
to my house. I opened my door and she helped me to the
bed.
Zakithi "Hau sis Nomthandazo you haven't opened your
gifts yet?"

Me "I've been busy Zakithi but I think I'll open them

today .

Zakithi "Do you want me to help you open them?"

Me "Lol I know if I say no you'll insist so let's open them."

I got down from the bed and we both sat down on the
carpet and started by opening a gift I received from my
father. It was sad that I didn't receive a gift from my
mother but it was okay. My father only gave me an
envelope I thought it was just a card but there was
R20000 inside and a card. Ncoah my daddy☺☺☺ there
was also a letter behind the money.

"NOMTHANDAZO WAMI

My beautiful baby girl uyintombi yami enhle enomoya

omuhle. I'm happy that I got witness you getting married.
It was sad to watch you go into your marital home but
you had to grow at some point even though to me you'll
always remain my beautiful little girl.
Words can never express enough how much I love you
but ngiyakuthanda mntanami and I wish you all the
happiness in your marriage. Continue being the beautiful
down to earth and respectful woman that you are. With
that money please buy something nice for yourself. You
know how we men are. I didn't know what to buy for you
so I just decided to buy you so I just decided to gift you
with money.

I love you and take care of yourself uhloniphe lapho

emzini."
I teared up I missed this man so much. We opened other
gifts Thandolwethu gifted me with a beautiful dinner set.
Other gifts came from the people of my village and
others from the people of KwaNongoma and I loved all of
them. Zakithi helped me pack my gifts in the storeroom
and some in my kitchen. Once we were done she just
kept me company. We talked about everything and
anything.

Zakithi "Sisi yazi I have a boyfriend!"

Me "Haibo Zakithi! Umncane nje?

Zakithi "Well I'm not that young I'm 18. Sis Nomthandazo
he wants us to do It!"

Me "To do what ?!"

Zakithi "To have sex

Zakithi "To have sex I've been thinking about it lately and
we've been together for some time now and I feel like he
deserves it! He will leave me if I don't."

Me "Zakithi you don't have to feel pressured to do

something you're not ready to do just to keep a man.
What happens when he finds someone else? Mmmh
what are you going to gain then? Nothing! You'll be left
regretting this decision all your life. If he wants to leave
then let him it's his loss after all."
Zakithi "Thank you so much sis Thandazo. I'm glad my
brother chose you and sis Sindiswa to be his wives. I
was going to make the biggest mistake of my life if you
weren't here."

Me "Ncoah come here." I hugged her "You're beautiful

Zakithi and any man would be lucky to have you as his
wife. "

Zakithi "Thank you so much sis Thandazo. Enough about

me tell me about you was it always your dream to get
married?"
Me "Well funny enough marriage wasn't my dream it
wasn't even part of my plans I just wanted to study
being a chef or fashion designer. I sew all the clothes I
wear."

Zakithi "Wow!!! That is amazing oh now I remember

seeing a sewing machine when we were packing your
gifts. You're so talented sis . "

Me "Thank you sthandwa sami.

We continued talking until a maid came to fetch us for
lunch. I locked my door and we went to the house talking
and laughing. When we got there I sat next to my
husband. The king wasn't here today I'm sure he had a
meeting he had to attend.

Queen "You should dish up for your husband today

MaNxumalo. " Yho !!! Ai okay. I dished up for him and
myself. We started eating.

The conversation around the table was flowing Zakithi

was bragging about my talent you could swear it was
hers. It was funny and cute. In her I found a little sister.
Chapter 32

I woke up early today we're going grocery shopping

usually grocery is bought by the maids but today mother
in law insisted that we go together so that we can create
a bond between the three of us.🙄 I'm wearing a tight
white dress I'm two and two weeks pregnant so my baby
bump isn't visible yet. I wore a short jean block heel and a
silver head wrap. I find the couple already waiting for me
in the car mother in law is babysitting Luthando so off
we go to the stores with bodyguards driving behind and
before us. On the way the couple was singing and
dancing and I felt like a third wheel. A Celine Dion song
comes on the radio and they go crazy.

Sindi "Babe this is our favourite song!" She says and they
start singing.

🎵the whispers in the morning🎵

🎵of lovers sleeping tight 🎵

🎵Are rolling like thunder now🎵

🎵as I look in your eyes🎵

🎵I hold on to your whole body🎵

🎵and feel each move you make🎵

🎵your voice is warmer and tender🎵

🎵a Love that I could forsake🎵

🎵cause I'm you lady 🎵

🎵and you are my man🎵

🎵whenever you reach for me🎵

🎵I'll do all that I can🎵

Okay this was enough torture for me. I took my headsets

and put on music on my phone then laid my head on my
seat. I don't know when I dozed off because I was woken
by Sindiswa telling me we've arrived. I followed behind
then to Shoprite . Guards took three trolleys and we
started grocery shopping. We put the grocery in the
boot.

Bukhosi "Babe let's go eat you've been walking all day

without eating anything you're a nursing mother."
Sindiswa "Okay Thandazo let's go"

Bukhosi "Where is she going?"

Sindiswa "She is coming with us she needs to eat she's

pregnant."

He rolled his eyes. We walked to KFC the guards asked

what we wanted and they went to place our orders. The
boring thing of being well known is the stares that you
get. I sat at my own table and let the couple bond. I didn't
want to intrude I ate then we left and drove home. I
played a game on my phone till we arrived at home. The
guards took groceries inside the house Sindiswa and
Bukhosi took theirs into their house they cook alone now
as soon as my house is finished then I will be cooking on
my own too. And it will be ready for me to in

Sponsored

in few days. So we will only eat at the main house on

Sunday.
After a few days my house was complete and I moved in
there. Today it is Sunday and we are eating lunch in the
main house. I took a quick shower and wore a long dress
and a head wrap and lock my house and go to the main
house. I sit next to my husband as usual.

King "Bukhosi it has been brought to my attention that

you do not spend time with your second wife."

Bukhosi "MaKheswa needs help with the baby I cannot

leave my wife struggling with my daughter for her." He
said pointing at me. That stung a bit.
Me "It's fine baba I'm not complaining "

King "No makoti! Bukhosi has two wives that he chose for
himself and he should spend time with the both of you
equally. What he does on the left must also be done on
the right.

Bukhosi "But father..."

King " No buts Bukhosi!!! I didn't raise you like this

today you're spending the night kwaMaNxumalo. I'm
done talking!!
Bukhosi looked at his wife and she just looked down the
mood in the table was very sour . After eating I excused
myself and went to my house. Later I was sitting in the
lounge watching television when there was a knock on
the door.

Me "Who is it?"

Voice "Bukhosi!"
Me "come in."

He got inside and locked the door....owwwkay. he sat

beside me on the couch.

Bukhosi "So you saw that I wasn't giving you and

attention then you decided to run that stinking mouth of
yours to my father?"

Me "I don't know what you're talking about."

Bukhosi "you know exactly what I'm talking about you
told my father that I don't come into your nasty house.
Nomthandazo I thought I explained the rules of this
marriage and you understood them clearly. "

Me "No I didn't myeni wami I swear I would never do that

to you..... I never spoke to father in law behind your back
about our arrangement I promise "

He clicked his tongue stood up and walked to the guest

bedroom. I sighed and went to my room to sleep. I got
inside the covers and immediately dozed off I woke up
early to prepare his breakfast. He woke up and came to
the kitchen and drank water then walked towards the
door.

Me "Mageba aren't you going to eat?"

Bukhosi "Eat what? Food prepared by you? Umthakathi

nje onjengawe?" He said walking out.

What did I do to deserve this God? Is this the life I'm

going to live forever? I ate the food I've prepared and
started cleaning the house around lunch I cooked enough
food for lunch and supper. I dished up and are after
eating I went to sleep i was tired and this pregnancy was
making me lazy. I ended up falling asleep on the couch.
Chapter 33

Three months have passed I was now five months

pregnant Bukhosi was spending a day at my house. It
was late I was in my room reading a book in my
underwear when Bukhosi barged inside my room. I
quickly covered myself with a blanket.

Me "Mageba hi you are back I'll go dish up for you."

Bukhosi "No need I've already eaten I just wanted to
check up on you before I go to bed. "

Hhayi wonders shall never end! What was wrong with

him Today?"

Me "Owh Okay before you go tomorrow I have an

appointment with a doctor for my monthly check up
would you like to come with Me?"
Bukhosi "I have a meeting tomorrow but do tell the
doctor to take as many pictures of my baby as she can
then I would take maybe five from you. Goodnight."

Me "Goodnight."

He closed the door and went to his room. Wow! So he

was actually nice to me for the first time ever since we
got married? Okay atleast we're making progress and
that makes me happy.
BUKHOSI

Something has been pulling me closer and closer to

MaNxumalo I don't know if it's her huge hips and ass or
her beautiful pure skin or her dimpled face. She's so
beautiful. I've taken a decision of treating her better than
I did before because after all she was chosen by me at
the reed dance. I still use the guest bedroom I woke up
and showered then went to the kitchen and I was
welcomed by a mouth watering aroma. This girl sure
knows her way around the kitchen. She was wearing a
sexy silk nightdress that exposed her beautiful round and
big ass and thighs.

Thandazo "Owh good morning Ndabezitha breakfast is

almost ready please wait for me in the dining room

Sponsored

I'll dish up for you soon."

I nodded my head and looked at her ass again. Yho!!!

Upakile lomuntu ngathi u Sarah Baartman . I did as she
instructed after some time she placed a plate in front of
me with sausages eggs tomatoes mushrooms bacon
and beans with toasted bread and coffee. She also baked
blueberry muffins I see and they also smell fresh and
tasty. I started indulging on my food and Wow this is
delicious. After eating i asked her to pack some muffins
for me and she did she packed my lunch of stuffed
peppers and grilled chicken.

I kissed her chubby cheeks and left to work I couldn't get

that ass off my mind dude! Focus!! You're only being nice
to her for the sake of your child stop thinking about
shagging here. I need focus I can't do something that will
make Sindiswa leave me.

Chapter 34
NOMTHANDAZO

I was now at the doctor I'm glad it wasn't full so I sat

down for my name to be called. I know I'm a princess but
I prefer to be treated like everyone else so I had to wait
for my tun to be called just like everyone else I didn't
want any special treatments. I got into the doctor's
office..

Doctor "Good morning princess I see you're here for your

monthly checkup. She checked my BP tested my urine
to check if I didn't have any bladder infection. Afree that
she asked me to lie down and roll my dress up then she
put some cold gel on my stomach and used a handheld
device to do the tests. She was still moving the device on
my stomach.

Doctor "Hold on a minute! I think we have something

here." She looked shocked and focused on the screen.

Me "Is everything okay with my child?"

Doctor "yes everything is fine but you're not having one

child you're having twins. Congratulations."
I was still in shock so I'm going to be a mother of two
kids? Wow I was so happy!

Me "Thank you can you see their gender yet?"

Doctor "Yes look at the screen.... that looks like a small

willy which means you're having a boy......and the other
one there is nothing which means you're having a girl. "

I was happy Thank you Lord for these two amazing gifts
and blessings He has trusted with. After my check I
went back home. I called my father informing him about
my visit to the doctor and how it went. He was so happy
for Me. I was tired so I went to take a nap.

Today Bukhosi was coming into my house I couldn't wait

to tell him the good news. I prepared supper dumpling
and oxtail stew. I showered after cooking and wore my
long sleeved blue silk short dress and black flip flops. I
had to give it myself I looked like a hot mama. Later I
heard my husband's car getting inside the garage and
came inside the house.

Me "Ndabezitha welcome. " I took his briefcase and

blazer and went to put them in his room and came back.
Bukhosi "How are you?"

Me "I'm fine thanks and you? How was work?"

Bukhosi "I'm very good work was fine but tiring."

Me "Owwh sorry.... let me dish up for you.

He went to change in his bedroom and came back
sweatpants and a hoodie and went to watch soccer. I
took a bowl and put warm water inside and little soap
with a napkin to wipe his hands he washed and wiped his
hand."

Me "Mageba are you going to eat here of in the dining

table?"

Bukhosi "Please bring my food here I want to finish this

match."

Me " okay " I brought his food and was about to go to the
dining room to eat as well when he asked;

Bukhosi "aren't you joining Me?"

Me "No I'm giving you privacy."

Bukhosi " Join me I insist I don't want to eat alone."

Me "Owhh okay. " I took my food and juice and went to

sit next to him. We ate in silence
Sponsored

he kept on looking me while eating.

Bukhosi "Can I have more please?" He asked licking his

fingers. I went to the kitchen and dished up more food
for him. We continued eating.

Bukhosi "So how did your check up go?"

Me "It went well....the doctor said I'm carrying twins a
boy and a girl." He smiled

Bukhosi "Wow! So I'm having a son?"

Me "Looks like it."

Bukhosi "Thank you.....come here. " I hesitated a bit.

Bukhosi "Come I'm not going to do anything bad to you."

I went to him but I was a bit hesitant he made me sit on

his lap. I was looking down playing with my hands.

Bukhosi "Look at me."

I still looked down feeling shy he held my face and

made me look at him.
Bukhosi "You're so beautiful do you know that? And this
dress looks good on you."

Me "Thank you."

Bukhosi "and thank you for our kids."

He said kissing me on my forehead. His kiss lingered for

sometime then he broke it.
Me " It's late I think I should probably go to sleep.
Goodnight."

Bukhosi "Goodnight." We stared deep into each other's

eyes for a long time until I decided to break the staring
contest. I cleared my throat.

Me "Excuse me."

I took both our dishes to the kitchen and washed them

then I went to my bedroom. I tossed and turned all
night i couldn't get that kiss out of my mind eventually I
fell asleep.
The following morning I woke up and took a shower then
I put on my red lace dress and silver sandals. I went to
prepare breakfast . Only cornflakes were left. I made
cornflakes for him and I packed yesterday's left overs as
his lunch. He got inside the kitchen carrying his briefcase
and car keys I served him his food.

Bukhosi "I don't like cornflakes but I'll eat them only for
today."

Me "I'm sorry there is no food in this house but I was

planning on doing grocery shopping today. " I said looking
down.

Bukhosi "With what money?"

I kept quiet and played with my hands. He makes me so

nervous. He took out his wallet and took out many R200
notes and handed them to me.

Bukhosi "That is R7000 go buy everything you need even

your cravings."
Me "Mageba i cannot accept this this is way too much."

Bukhosi "Don't worry yourself. Write a list I'll ask one of

the maids to buy grocery for you."

Me "Thank you."

Bukhosi "okay let me leave or I'll be late for my meeting

."
Me "have a great day."

Bukhosi "Thank you have a great day too."

He kissed my cheek and took his briefcase car keys

lunchbox and phone and left. I was left all alone the
maid came and took the list and left. The maid came back
later and I started cooking . I decided to call my father
he answered on the third ring.

Dad "Ntombi yami"

Me " Baba ninjani?"

Dad "Awh siphilile ntombi yami umawakho nje

obebanjwe umkhuhlane. I took her to the doctor
yesterday.

Me "How is she feeling after going to the Doctor?"

Dad "This morning she said she is feeling better I guess

the medication is working."

Me "Kwangcono I hope she gets better."

Dad "uzolulama ntombi yami don't worry.

Me "I'll call again tomorrow to check up on her."

Dad "okay ndodakazi."

Me "Okay bye Dad I love you."

Dad " Bye my daughter have a blessed day." I dropped

the call.

Lol that's my father for you he never says he loves me too

but he'll always shoe it through his actions. I prepared
mac and cheese for supper.

SINDISWA

I hear his car driving inside. I'm busy nursing my

daughter on the couch. He walks in and sits next to me.

Bukhosi "Hey my love. " he perked my lips and kissed

my daughter's hand because I'm still breastfeeding her.
Me "Hey you I haven't seen you all day I was missing
you."

Bukhosi " I was missing you too what's for dinner ? I'm
famished."

Me "Doris made chicken and rice* Doris is our maid.*

"Please dish up for yourself I'm not done here yet."
Bukhosi" okay love how is my baby girl?"

Me "she's good but she eats so much." We both laugh.

Bukhosi "well she's a true Zulu girl uzokhula adle ipapa

not salads." He says laughing

Me "Lol if she continues eating like this she'll be obese."

Bukhosi "Lol that won't happen to my daughter.....let me

go dish up."

He went to the kitchen and dished up for the both of us

and came back with my food on a tray. By this time
usually the maids have retired to their bedrooms so I
usually dish up for my husband and I.

Bukhosi "Nomthandazo is having twins..... a girl and a

boy." I was a bit sad because i thought I was the one who
was going to give birth to his heir but I was happy for her.

Me "Wow that's good so how is she coping with the

pregnancy and house chores? It must be difficult because
she's carrying twins?"

Bukhosi "That is what I have been thinking about I think

i should get her a maid."

Me "That is good. So honey I was thinking we should take

a trip to Durban or Cape Town or abroad before your
coronation. I mean I think we need time to ourselves
before it really gets busy for you to travel on leisure
vacations . I'm sure most of your travelling you'll be doing
after your coronation will be related to the throne and
being a king."
Bukhosi " But my coronation is in eight months Babe why
are you doing the planning so early?"

Me "you know that I love being organised love I don't

love doing things late or in a hurry I want to plan
everything when there's still time and make necessary
bookings."

Bukhosi "Okay love atleast Luthando will be a little

older by that time to travel with."

Me " No babies! So will we take Nomthandazo to come

along with us?"
Bukhosi "Definitely not she'll be a nursing mother by
then....So Where will she leave the kids?"

Me "To your mother we can't leave and leave her alone

her lokho kuzoqala iynkulumo."

Bukhosi "I'll see what I can do."

Me "Okay let me go put her down uselele. I'll be back."

I went to put my daughter down in her nursery she's so
perfect the only person I fell in love with at first sight. I
didn't know I was capable of loving someone so much like
I love her . She is beautiful. I kissed her small pouted lips
and took the baby monitor and went back downstairs.

I found Bukhosi passed out on the couch.

Me "Baby go to sleep."
Bukhosi "Mmmmmmh...... oh God I'm so tired. "

Me "Go rest

Sponsored

let me make Luthando's bottle then I'll join you soon."

Bukhosi "Okay"

He kissed me and went upstairs. I went to the kitchen to

make the bottle and went upstairs to our room. Bae
was already asleep he really had a long day. I kissed his
lips and lay down next to him. Luthando woke up in the
middle of the night I checked her changer her diaper
and fed her her bottle. She slept after that she is such
an angel. I went back to sleep I woke up in the morning
and checked on my daughter she was still sleeping . I
went downstairs and found mom Doris preparing
breakfast.

Doris "Morning madam breakfast is ready."

Me "Okay I'll go wake my husband up. "

Doris "Okay madam."

I went back upstairs and guess what ? Bukhosi was still

sleeping it was so unlike him to sleep like this.

Me " Babe come on wake up you're going to be late for

work."
Bukhosi "What time is it? "

Me "Its 6:30"

He quickly got out of the bed and ran to the bathroom.

Bukhosi "Babe why didn't you wake me up ? I will be late

for my 8 o'clock meeting."
Me "I'm sorry I didn't know you had a meeting Today."

Bukhosi "It's fine where did Doris put my navy suit?"

Me "Let me check In the closet."

I checked and found it he quickly got dressed then he

went downstairs running lime a mad man and ate his
breakfast quickly. One thing you should know about my
husband is that no matter how late he is he can never
miss breakfast that is the most important meal of the
day. After eating he took his car keys briefcase and phone
and pecked my lips and rushed out.
Me "What about your lunchbox?" I shouted but I doubt
he heard me his car was already driving out. Well I'm sure
he'll buy food during lunch. I went back inside my house
and watched television.

Chapter 36

NOMTHANDAZO
Two months have passed I'm now seven months and
two weeks pregnant. My pregnancy has not been easy
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.

I'm the kitchen stuffing myself with ice cream. I'm

thinking about my babies I should buy clothes and other
things for them. I wonder who they will look like but
none of that matters I just can't wait to hold them in my
arms. No offence I love my kids but I'm tired of this
pregnancy I pee a thousand times a day I have weird
cravings and no one there to feed me my cravings I'm
always horny the morning sicknesses sucks plus these
two kick a lot they're very active. Not to mention how
lonely and draining this pregnancy has been. It's
morning and I'm glad a maid was assigned to me because
right now she is cleaning and I'm here relaxing. She only
cleans and does laundry but I cook for my husband
myself no one else is supposed to cook for my husband
except for me. I feel sticky I'm sure it's because it has hot
and I'm sweating. I take a bath. I take a short nap and I'm
woken by Beatrice reminding me that I have to cook.

I thank her and I go to the kitchen to cook I made fried

rice lemon and herb grilled chicken and a green salad.
After cooking I go watch mzali I hear the door closing.
Oh! It's my husband I almost peed my pants but there are
guards all over this place so no one could come in here.

Bukhosi "Mawabo"
Me "Myeni wami how are you?"

I take his briefcase from him and help him take out his
blazer.

BUKHOSI "I'm good how are you and our kids?

Me " We're good I just can't wait to give birth so that I

can start working." I take his things to his bedroom. I
come back and found him sitting on the couch with a
remote on his hand browsing through the channels.

Bukhosi "Working? Why do you need to work?"

Me " I need to finish building my father's house."

Bukhosi "Why have you never told me this before?"

Me "I didn't want to bother you."

Bukhosi "how much will you need for your father's
house?"

Me "No it's fine I'll work once I've given birth."

Bukhosi "No wife of mine will work especially not after

giving birth"

He takes out a cheque book and writes something then

hands the cheque to me. I almost die when i see the
zeroes in the cheque.
Me " Mageba I think you made a mistake you wrote so
many zeroes here it's not R100000 it's R1 million.

Bukhosi "I didn't make a mistake I think that amount of

money will be enough to build your father's house. "
Wow he wrote me a cheque of R1 million?

Me "Thank you so much myeni wami!"

I went to dish up for him and bring a bowl for him to
wash his hands. After eating he asks for another plate I
go dish up for hi. Once again. I'm used to him now I know
he eats two meals that's why I cook more food. I'm just
glad he exercises or else we would be talking a different
story. We both eat after eating I go wash our dishes
and head to my bedroom.

I'm naked and busy searching for my nightdress one thing

I hate about this pregnancy is that it has made me
forgetful. Bukhosi barges into my room without knocking
the towel is in my bed and the bed is way too far from
where I'm standing. I just cover my breasts and nuna with
my hands.

Bukhosi "Ummmh I'm so sorry......I wanted ummm......I

wanted hmmmm.....

You know what forget it."

He walks out and I breath out loudly. He barges inside my

room again.

Bukhosi "Fuck this shit!!"

He takes long strides towards me. He cups my face and

kiss the shit out of me. This is my first kiss ever I'm scared
to tell him I'm inexperienced so I decide to follow his
lead. He kiss me till my knees go weak. He carries me to
the bed.

We continue kissing I take off his shirt followed by his

pants. He is left with his boxers. We're still kissing I take
off his shirt followed by his pants. He is left with his
boxers. We're still kissing he takes my hand and put it
inside his boxers and make me touch his hard shaft I put
my small hand around it and move it up and down he
groans. It's so hard that it feels weird when my hands
touch it. He moves from kissing my mouth to my neck
from my neck he goes on to suck my nipples. I've never
felt what I'm feeling right now.

He plant kisses to my stomach I try to stop him when

he tries to insert his tongue inside my nuna he holds both
my hands above my head and devours my nuna he eats it
like it's his last meal on earth.

Me "Oh yees Yesss!!"

I felt an electric shock throughout my body and and a

liquid coming out of my nuna. I thought he was going to
stop but he continued eating me out . He stops and
comes up then he tries inserting his hard shaft inside my
nuna.

Me "It's painful I think we should stop."

Bukhosi "I'll be gentle you'll feel pleasure after some
time."

He tries again and finally he is in. At first it starts being

painful but as he continues pounding I start feeling a
mixture of pleasure and pain. He kiss me and i taste
myself.

Bukhosi "Please get on top." Yho!!! Aike I've never done

that.
I slowly slide the penis in. He guides me on how to ride . I
start by going slow back and forth . I increase my pace
and I start going in circles. Wow ! This dick feels good but
it's normal for me to say that it's the only dick I've ever
tasted in my life. I'm now going up and down back and
forth and in circles. He increases his pace and goes
faster I go crazy I feel the electric shock again but this
time intense than the one before I pee all over him I feel
some warm liquid shooting deep inside my womb. I guess
that's his semen. I lie on his chest trying to catch my
breath. I'm a little embarrassed that I peed on the bed.
We stay like that for a few minutes I feel like going
again but I'm scared to tell him. My nuna clamps around
his dick and he goes hard again.

He carries me to the corner of the bed and make me

spread my legs wide and enters me. Oh God! It feels
heavenly. He starts going in and out and I'm screaming
my lungs out. We do the deeed until we both come.
Then we fall asleep in each other's arms .
I'm woken by him inserting himself again we go again and
again and again almost until morning I can proudly say
I'm thoroughly dicknified. I fall asleep again I try touching
him and his side of the bed is empty...... where could he
be at this time of the morning? Or maybe he went to
work already? But it's still early. I wake up shower and
get dressed in a white dress and take out the sheets of
the bed and put them in my dirty laundry basket. I'll wash
them later. I go check if he is in the kitchen he's not there
the lounge and dining room but he's still not there. I
finally check his bedroom and he is there sleeping.
Wow!!! I thought we connected last night I thought we
were making progress. I wake him up and go make his
breakfast and prepare his lunchbox. I iron his outfit for
the day and make his bed and put his clothes on the bed.
When I'm done I go back to the kitchen and pack his
lunchbox .
After sometime he comes to the kitchen fixing his watch.

Me "Let me help you with that."

Bukhosi "No thank you I'll manage."

Me "Owhh okay your breakfast is on the dining table. "

Bukhosi "Okay thank you." He leaves and goes to the
dining room to eat. After eating he comes to me.

Bukhosi "Listen whatever happened yesterday was a

mistake. We will continue behaving like we were before
the incident took place last night please. I don't want this
to ruin things with my wife."

Me "okay." I say trying to hold my tears.

He walked out leaving me shattered when i heard his car

driving out I broke down. I don't think I can carry on with
this. I think me and my kids deserve better. I can't
continue with a man that treats me like this. I feel so
cheap and used right now. I felt like packing my bags
and leaving but my kids weren't even born yet they
needed their father and I've fallen deeply in love with
him. I couldn't just up and leave.

Chapter 37

SINDISWA
My mom came to me visit me yesterday she'll be staying
for a week. She knows Bukhosi has another wife he's a
prince afterall he can't hide her my mom understands the
arrangement between my husband and his wife so when
he didn't come last night she understood that he was
with her. I hate living in these Bundus there are no
proper restaurants or clothing stores maybe if bezikhona
I would have taken my mom out shopping but here we
are stuck inside the house but at least my house is
gorgeous. I pour her a glass of red wine lol yes my queen
is a wine lover . She loves her wine and she doesn't hide
it even from Bukhosi. We're chilling next to the pool
sipping on our drinks eating platters and having a
conversation.

Mom "Is your hubby coming to your house today?"

Me "Yup!!" I don't like talking about this because i know
with my mom the topic can escalate real quick.

Mom "Yhuu!!! Uyabekezela mntanami I don't think i

could ever share a man with another woman!"
Ngitheni?!"🤷‍♀️

Me "Well I'm not sharing him he just goes there to sleep

he doesn't even touch her. He goes there because the
king told him to do so."

Mom "Well you can never know what goes on in there

there are no cameras inside that house and what if that
girl iyamudlisa? You'll be left here all alone raising a child
as a single mom"

Me "She can never do that she's a kind hearted girl."

Mom "Mmmh umuntu ngeke umazi."

Me "Mom I did not invite you into my home so that you

can create conflict and chaos between me my sister wife
and my husband."
Mom" Yho I was just saying."

Me" don't please mother!"

We hear a car driving inside I'm sure it is my husband.

Bukhosi walks in carrying his briefcase and car keys.

Bukhosi "Hey baby mama how are you?" He says pecking

my lips.
Me "Hey love."

Mom "Mkhwenyana I'm fine I decided to come see my

granddaughter I hope that won't be a problem with you."

Bukhosi "No not at all mother this is your home too. " he
says kissing her hand. "Ladies let me love and leave you I
need some rest I had a long day."

Me "Okay love."
He goes upstairs leaving me with my mom.

Me "Didn't you notice anything weird with Bukhosi ?"

Mom "No....why? Did you see something?"

Me "No nevermind." We continued talking.

We stayed up till talking and catching up not even has
Bukhosi came downstairs even to eat. I went to my
bedroom at 3 am i changed into my nightdress and got
under the covers. I try touching my husband and he
moves far away from me okay maybe my hands are cold.
I try touching him again and he moves far away again.
What the hell is going on with him?

Me "Bukhosi what's wrong?

Bukhosi " nothing just sleep babe I'm tired."

I sigh then sleep next to him his behaviour is not giving

me peace at all. I toss and turn all night thinking what
could be wrong with my husband. Eventually I finally
manage to fall asleep. I'm woken up by a bright light
shining into my eyes I take my phone and check the time
it's nine o'clock already. I brush my teeth and go
downstairs . I find my mom burping my baby girl."

Me "good morning mom."

She gives me a hard disapproving look.ooookay what's

up with her?"

Mom " Is this the time to wake up?"

Me "Mom come on we're not in the 1970s plus i have
maids I can wake up anytime I want."

Mom "But you're someone's wife while you're sleeping

who prepares breakfast for your husband?"

Me "The maids mom please can we just drop it. I've

had a long night as it is."

Mom "What happened?"

Me "It's nothing important

Sponsored

mom please can we just drop it. I've had a long night as
it is."

Mom "What happened?"

Me "It's nothing important so how is Ntombi?" Ntombi is
my younger sister the one that was in the wedding.

Me "I haven't heard from her ever since the wedding."

Mom "She is fine she and her husband have decided to

adopt a baby." Ntombi is married to this white guy
Greg.....the last time I heard they were trying to a baby
and found out Greg is sterile.
Me "And she never bothered to tell me?"

Mom "When was the last time you called your sister and
asked her how she is doing ? How her life is going?"

Me "Ma I'm busy Luthando is taking all my time. " I said

lying through my teeth.

Mom "And she is not ? Sindiswa she is your only sister

the only person you will have if I pass on. Get close to her
and make the bond between you two strong. "
Me " okay I Wil try to."

Mom " And stop being lazy and cook for your husband!"

Yhooo! Hhayi mom should leave now I love her but she's
getting on my nerves. I wanted to tell her I want to start
working but with her behaviour I should just keep his
information to myself.

We went to eat lunch at the main house and there was

just these awkward vibes between my sister wife and
husband. Or it's just me imagining things? The
conversation was flowing around the table and Sindiswa
was just quiet and playing with her food. She excused
herself and layer Bukhosi followed after her.

NOMTHANDAZO

I excuse myself and go to the kitchen the food wasn't

going down nganginomunyu ice cream usually helps me
calm down. They usually have it here in the freezer. I take
it out and take a spoon and feed my cravings. I'm eating
moaning and dancing with my eyes closed. I hear
someone laughing and I quickly open my eyes. There he
stood by the door with his arms folded and laughing .
Me "Ummmh I'm sorry I forgot I'm not in my house I'm
sorry I'll just leave."

Bukhosi " No it's fine you can continue eating your ice
cream can I join you?"

Me "Ummmh sure."

He took his own spoon and sat next to me. We ate in

silence until he decided to break it.
Bukhosi "Mmmh this is delicious."

Me "Yeah it's my favourite."

Bukhosi "How are my babies? "

Me " they're active and well as usual."

Bukhosi "Kufanele phela OMageba. " he says proudly
I smile like an idiot there is something about him I can
never stay mad at him him for too long. It's like he knows
which buttons to press to make me stop being angry at
him.

Bukhosi "What are you thinking about ? I've been

shouting your name for an hour now like a mad man?"
He says.

Me "uyaphosisa Mageba " I laughed.

Bukhosi I'm telling you."

Me "It's nothing important."

Bukhosi "Okay" we continue eating in silence.

Me "I have to go to my house now bye."

Bukhosi "Don't go yet....please stay for a while."

Me "Ndabezitha.....I.."

Bukhosi "Please."

Me "Okay but I won't stay for too long."

He gives me my spoon and we continue eating.

Bukhosi "You've got something here." He says pointing at
the corner of my mouth. I wiped where he pointed.

Me " Is it gone?"

Bukhosi "No it's still there. " I try wiping it off once again.

Me "Is it gone now?"

Bukhosi "No let me help you. " he wiped it off and we
ended up staring at each other.

Bukhosi "You're so beautiful Nomthandazo there's

something I feel deeply inside for you I'm not sure what it
is yet. "

Me "No please don't lie to me this is what you do to

make me drop my panties for you. You lie to me all the
time."
Bukhosi "But this time I mean it." He kiss me someone
clears their throat and we both quickly let go of each
other.

Sindiswa "What is going on here?"

We both kept quiet .

Sindiswa "I asked a question and somebody better

answer me!!!! What the hell is going on here?!"
Bukhosi "Sindiswa it was all her I came here to drink
water and she started seducing me. Babe believe me!!"

Me "Wow Bukhosi so I threw myself at you?!"

Sindiswa "You heard what he said!!! My mom was right

about you!! You are just a wolf in a sheep's clothing! You
will go to any length to get my man! Now get this through
your thick skull he is mine and mine alone! "

Me "Ngyakuzwa sisi"
I took my bag and walked out this was it Bukhosi would
never grow up. I was leaving him and this time I meant it.

Chapter 38

When I got home I packed everything that belongs to me.

I was tired of Bukhosi making fool out of me. I don't
want to come to a point where we bewitch each other
just because of a man. After packing I call the driver and
ask him to take me to my father's house. I sent the maid
back to the place and switched off all the appliances.

I wrote a letter addressed to both my husband and his

wife.

To Sindiswa and Bukhosi

Myeni wami I know you didn't want to marry me in the

first place but I was forced on you by circumstances. I
know even if i try I can never be her you love her. I can
see that from the way you look at her. How your eyes
glow with happiness every time you see her. She owns
your heart and she knows it ever since i got married to
you I've always felt like a third wheel in this marriage like
an evil spirit trying to tear apart What God has brought
together. I'm sorry if I caused any problems in your
marriage. Please don't come looking for me I'll inform
you once the babies are born.

To you Sindiswa you've treated me with respect kindness

and love

Sponsored

you welcomed me to your home cause this is your home

with love and kindness and I took your kindness for
granted I'm sorry. I'm leaving I'm going back home and
I'm never coming back. I'm sorry for what happened
today. Take care of your husband he truly loves you
MaKheswa wakhe and please don't blame him for what
happened today it was my fault. I'm sorry.

Be happy always

Love

Nomthandazo

I left the letter in the kitchen table. I took one last glance
at my house. I'm going to miss this place. Tears fell
uncontrollably from my eyes I'm in love with him and he
will never know. I took my bag and walked out. I gave
the key to the driver. I texted Bukhosi "The key is with
the driver contact your lawyers so that we can get
divorced as soon as possible. " I pressed send then got
inside the car. The drive to my home was long I was
crying and broken that I've just left the father of my kids
and that I'm going back home people will think i failed to
do my duties as a wife. I'm scared that my father will
send me back. We finally arrived at home in the middle of
the night. My father came out I'm sure because he heard
a car driving inside his yard so late at night.

Dad "Ntombi yami wasihlasela ebsuku kwenzenjani?

Imithwalo emingaka yona?"

Me "Father can we please talk tomorrow right now I'm

tired i need to rest."

Dad "Okay my daughter."

Chapter 39

BUKHOSI
Sindiswa was livid! We were now back at our house.
She was shouting on top of her lungs.

Sindiswa "Bukhosi how could you do this to me?! You let

that good for nothing girl seduce you? Are you that weak
of a man?!"

Me "Baby I'm sorry ."

Sindiswa "And you think i would believe your sorry?"

Bukhosi "Sindiswa Nomthandazo was not at fault I was
the one who kissed her but that's all that happened
nothing else."

Sindiswa "And you made me say all those awful things to

that girl? Bukhosi What kind of an animal are you? You
make me sick!!!"

Me "Sindiswa I'm sorry I didn't want you to leave me. I'd

rather lose everything else in this world but not you and
our child. You're my world . Yes I'm the one who initiated
the whole thing she tried to stop me but I pushed harder
I'm sorry."
Sindiswa "You're a fucking liar BUKHOSI! Uyanginyanyisa
nje."

Me " Sindiswa mind your words when you speak to me

I'm still your husband!!!"

Sindiswa "Aiii fokof Bukhosi."

She runs upstairs.

Sindiswa "Oh another thing you're taking the couch I
don't want you anywhere near my bedroom. "

Me " Babe Please!!" She walked upstairs . "Sindiswa I

need my suit from our bedroom I have a meeting
tomorrow with an important client."

I followed after her and I found her shoving all of my

clothes out of our bedroom door.
Sindiswa "Here is your fucking suit now fuck off!" I took
all my clothes to the guest bedroom.

I received the message from Thandazo and it just made

my day worse why did she leave? I know I wronged her
but I was sorry.

I went to check if she really was gone and she was

her clothes were not there. I found the letter and I also
gave it Sindswa she read it. The following day I took a
shower in one of the guest rooms.

I went to check on my daughter. I found her awake and

playing with her fingers and toesshe's cute at least she's
not crying . I kiss her chubby cheeks and pouted lips and
go to the kitchen i find my breakfast already on the table.
This moment reminds me of uMaZwide she would make
sure that she wakes up and prepares my breakfast with a
beautiful smile and a loving heart. Ukukhala akusizi! I eat
then take my briefcase and car keys and drive to my
company. I have to sign a contract with a client. And then
drive home because i have a meeting with my father
and uncles. I know it's about my wife leaving me.

When I'm done with the client I drive home to meet my

dad and uncles. I find them sitting in the throne room I
take my seat next to my father.

Me "bantu abadala."
King "Ndodana we have called this meeting ngoba
siyabona umuzi wakho uyabhidlika we had to hear from a
maid ukuthi your second wife left you

Sponsored

now i want to hear from you what happened between

you and your wife?"
Me "Baba indaba ende"

King "We have all day ."

Me " It all started when we paid lobola for her i told her
I did not love her I'm only marrying her because i will be
king one day."

Uncle 1 "Okay go on."

Me " Well she still got married to me knowing that I don't
love her. Well ubaba demanded the sheet so I had to
sleep with her that is how she got pregnant. Then I
stopped going to her house ubaba again started asking
why I wasn't going to her house then that is how I ended
up sleeping with her."

King "What happened next?"

Me "I was charmed or taken by MaNxumalo that I

wanted her again Sindiswa caught us kissing layindlini in
the kitchen and that is when i lied and said MaNxumalo
threw herself at me. MaNxumalo left crying and later
yesterday she sent me a message telling me that the key
to her house is with the driver and that I should contact
my lawyers soon so that we can get divorced."
Uncle 2" what did you do when you got to know that she
has left?"

Me "Nothing. "

King "Isn't she ypur wife too?"

Me " she is."

King "Then what do we do now? Do we send people to
her home to apologize to her family for this shame we
have brought upon them? Or should we send divorce
papers?"

Me "I don't know Father she is carrying my children."

Uncle 1 "Then we should send people to her home to talk

to her parents wena Ndodana stop allowing your first
wife to control you."
King "True she is still our makoti and you should do right
by her and the kids now."

Me "Yes dad"

Uncle 2 "Kodwa uyoba inkosi enjani esadonswa

umuntu wesifazane ngekhala nangamasende?!"

King "Kahle ngamatshe bafo Bukhosi it is time for you

to grow up uqine ube yendoda and stand your ground.....
ungakhohlwa umalokazana omncane uthwele inkosana

Me "Ngiyezwa baba."

I hope this won't make me fight with Sindiswa.

Chapter 40

SINDISWA
I still cannot believe that Bukhosi would do something
like this to me. I'm sitting outside discussing this with my
mom.

Me "He lied to Me Mom and I said those insulting words

to that poor pregnant woman thinking she seduced him!"

Mom "but she deserved it she deserved more than words

she deserved a slap . " I give her a glare sometimes I
just don't understand this woman "What? don't look at
me like that she kissed your husband."
Me " he is also her husband. My husband was the one
who broke his promises that he made to me not her. I
should go and apologize to her I was wrong."

Bukhosi "There is no need."

He was leaning with the sliding door that lead to the

pool. When did he get here and how much did he
hear?!

Me "Why?!"
Mom "Excuse me." She walked inside the house.

Bukhosi "father is sending my uncle's to her father's

house about this matter."

He says sitting down next to me.

Me "That's better I'll apologise when she comes back."

He tries touching me and i move his hand and went inside
the house leaving him looking at me sadly. He comes
inside our bedroom and sits on the edge of the bed.

Bukhosi " How long are you going to stay mad at me?"

Me "For as long as I want!"

Bukhosi "Baby I'm sorry

Sponsored
 I'll do anything to make you forgive me and to show you
how sorry I am."

Me "You know what disgusts me the most? The fact that

you lied to Me after making stupid promises to
me.....Bukhosi I thought you loved me."

Bukhosi "I swear I love you Sindiswa please I'll do

anything you want to earn your forgiveness."
Me "you'll do anything?"

Bukhosi " Yeah.

Me "I'll give our staff leave you'll cook clean the house
and do laundry for a month and we're taking
Nomthandazo with us to the vacation.

Bukhosi "But..."
Me "No buts unless of course you don't want me to
forgive you."

Bukhosi "Fine!!!"

I laughed at him

Me "I'm joking about the cleaning and cooking part but

we're really taking Nomthandazo with us to the vacation
this is also our way of saying sorry to her. "
Bukhosi "Okay. "

Chapter 41

NOMTHANDAZO
I'm back at home and my first day has been hell. Mom
has finally revealed her evil and cunning self to me. The
abuse I've endured in one day is too much. Nqobile is
worse she's still bitter about my marriage to Bukhosi. I
woke up today and went to fetch firewood I made
breakfast cleaned the house and right now I'm resting
under the tree. I see mom approaching with her laundry.

Mom "Mabuya emendweni shona khona Ntombi."

Me "I'll wash it tomorrow mom I'm tired now."

Mom " Yey we sisi! I need to wear those clothes

tomorrow. And you're not acting like someone who's
desperate for the world not to know why she is in her
father's house when her bride price was paid in full
waze wathelwa ngenyongo? Ngizomemeza kugcwale
umphakathi wonke if ungafuni ukuwasha leziympahla!"

Me "I'll wash them now mom."

Mom "Shona khona ke ntombi."

This woman will never change she'll always be the

same evil and conniving woman that she is. I take the
laundry and start washing. Nqobile comes with hers.
Nqo "Mabuya khona nansi enye Dali."

Me "Nqobile you have hands."

Nqo "awwwh do you want me to tell mom what you just

told me?"

I kept quiet
Nqo "Thought as much now get on it. Ooowh another
thing my boyfriend is coming tonight so please make a
plan on where you will sleep."

Me "Okay "

She walked away swaying her hips. I wash all the clothes I
finished very late then I went to cook supper then I
dished up for everyone the same amount of food. Then I
serve we all sit down and eat.
Mom "Haibo sisi lagcwala inyama I plate. You're greedy
give the meat to Nqobile. What is she going to eat when
you're eating all the food in this house?"

Dad "Haibo!!! What level of wickedness is this?! Nqobile

has her own meat. Why are you doing this to your own
daughter ? Your own pregnant daughter?! Okokuqala
kuthengwa uye lokhukudla."

Me " It's fine dad Nqobile here is my meat." I give her all
my meat and eat rice with soup.

After eating I go to our bedroom and took a blanket and a

pillow and a grass mat and go lie down in the kitchen it's
warmer there than in the lounge. I'm woken up by
voices more like people whispering and giggling in the
lounge. I see Nqobile tiptoeing with a man twice her age
going to our bedroom. Hhayi shame siyazibona!!!!! I go
back to sleep. The following day i woke up and went to
fetch firewood then I clean around the house. People are
still sleeping. I have a feeling that Nqobile forgot to wake
up anyonyobise Isoka lakhe.

Father wakes up and goes Into our room soon after

that there is noise like people arguing. I'm sure he
heard her moaning last night because wow she was very
loud I heard her as well.

Dad "We Zungu umthetho wakho ungijwayela kabi...

usuka lena kwakho uzogibela ingane yami ubusuku bonke
encane nakangaka right under my roof?"

Nqo " Baba hlukana nendoda yami!!!"

Dad "I will tell your wife of what unfolded here today
uzongazi kahle !!"

Zungu "Ndoda please don't do that it was the devil I will

never do that again."
Dad "As always you blame the devil unamanga
skhohlakali get out of my house wena nja and never
come back here ever again."

Mom came out of her bedroom she looked at me up and

down and clicked her tongue then got inside our room.

Mom "What is going on here?"

Dad "I caught your daughter sleeping with a man my

age."
Mom "So ? Let her enjoy herself angithi you let your
precious daughter take my daughter's husband?"

Nqo "Tell him Mom

Sponsored

she looked at me up and down and clicked her tongue

then got inside our room.

Mom "What is going on here?"

Dad "I caught your daughter sleeping with a man my

age."

Mom "So ? Let her enjoy herself angithi you let your
precious daughter take my daughter's husband?"

Nqo "Tell him Mom he married his favourite daughter to

my man now he's standing in my way of finding
umaqondana wami."

Yho! My mother has ruined my innocent little sister what

kind of a mother is this. I should finish building my father
his house soon or else these two will drive him straight
into a heart attack. They kept arguing my father goes to
his room and comes back with his sjambok. This Zungu
guy runs away naked like a mad man. It's a funny scene
ngiyakutshela but I just focus on making breakfast. I
don't want to put my nose in their matters they have
nothing to do with me. Around lunch cars park inside our
yard. I'm inside the house cooking dad didn't tell me he
had people coming over. Hhaibo !!but that's my
husband's car nje..... What is he doing here? They got
inside the lounge. Soon my dad asked me to serve
them drinks and food. Then he calls me to the lounge.
Dad "So my daughter your in laws are here to fetch their
wife."

Me "But Dad I don't want to go back there."

Dad "They paid your bride price wathelwa ngenyongo

wena so you belong to them."

Uncle "Makoti you're carrying our seed so we cannot let

you stay here especially uthwele inkosana."
Me "But baba I want to stay here. "

Bukhosi "Father in law can I please speak to my wife in

private?"

Dad "No problem son."

Bukhosi took my hand and led me outside to talk.

Bukhosi "hi... please look at me."

He cups my face into his hands.

Bukhosi "I know I'm probably the last person you want to
see but please hear me out."

Me "Fine! Talk!"
Bukhosi "about that day Sindiswa is sorry for what she
said to you."

Me "It's fine I was the one who was wrong."

Bukhosi "No please don't say that..... I was wrong for

leading you on. I started this whole bullshit."

I kept quiet and waited for him to continue speaking.

Bukhosi "But please come home my kids need their
father."

Me "They will have their father in their lives but the only
difference is that we won't be together."

Bukhosi "Why won't you come home?"

Me "You call that house a home? That is not a home that

is just a house that you built for me I'm like a piece of
furniture In that house. Bukhosi i want to be loved too to
be held to be kissed and told how much I make
someone's day. I'm only 25 I don't deserve all this."
Bukhosi "What about Sindiswa?"

Me "What about me? Can't You just for once put me and
my kids first?!"

Bukhosi "But I am putting you first right now..... Why are

you making this difficult for me?!"

Me "We're done talking here just go back to your

precious wife you don't need me."

I said walking away from him if I tolerate this right now I'll
have to tolerate it for the rest of my miserable life I
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.

Dad "Siyabonga ntombi yami you've made a great

decision. Mkhwenyana will help you take the bags to the
car."
This bustard!!! He did this on purpose. I hate him! I went
to my room and packed all my belongings I checked if
everything was there and yes everything was there. He
took my bags to the car. I bid goodbye to my father. My
mother gave me an evil glare. She can go to hell for all I
care with that useless daughter of hers for all I care. It's a
long drive to the Zulu Royal palace. When we get there
he unloads my bags and put them in my house.

Bukhosi "Welcome back home.." I kept quiet and looked

at him.

Bukhosi " I'm sorry for what i did today.... I have to leave
Sindiswa is waiting for me."
Me "Go!!! Angithi vele I'm just your sperm dish and
please don't ever come back to this house again I don't
give a shit if this house was built with your money or
not....and please close the door on your way out." I walk
to my bedroom.

Chapter 42

BUKHOSI
I drive home to Sindiswa thinking of how much I've
changed this sweet and kind girl into a disrespectful and
bitter woman. I find her playing with our daughter my
daughter is the cutest baby in the entire world I tell you.
She now knows how to sit soon she'll be walking and
running around the house. I take her from her mom and
kiss her chubby cheeks she giggles.

Sindiswa "You look stressed."

Me "It's nothing ."

Sindiswa "Talk to me love....what's wrong?"

Me "Thandazo is back."

Sindiswa "That is good news then why aren't you

happy?

Me "She's changed ."

Sindiswa "Is it a good change or bad change?"

Me "It's bad..... I've turned her into something else."

Sindiswa "What do you mean?"

Me "No! It's nothing did mother in law arrive home

safely?"

Sindiswa " yes she did but I'm already missing her she
was the only one who could deal with Luthando.....
uyahlupha uLuthando. But she loved bonding with her
grandmother ."

I laugh

Me "Ukhala kancane soon she'll be walking and naughty."

We both laugh
Sindiswa "I should go see Thandazo and apologise."

Me "yeah but I don't think today is the right day for

that."

Sindiswa "Why ?"

Me "nevermind you can go."

Sindiswa "What are you not telling me?"

Me "Me?! Oh nothing let me go rest. Are you going
with Luthando or you're leaving her behind?"

Sindiswa "I'm going with her."

Me "Okay ." I kiss her and go upstairs.

NOMTHANDAZO

I'm at home just watching a movie when there is a knock

at the door.

Me "Who is it?"

Voice "It's Sindiswa ." Yho ai Bukhosi and his wife are
denying me peace.
Me "Beatrice please go and open the door."

Beatrice "Okay madam." She comes back followed by

Sindiswa who's pushing her daughter In a stroller.

Me "please prepare refreshments for us."

Beatrice "Okay madam" she leaves and goes to the

kitchen.
Sindiswa "hi I hope I'm not catching you at the wrong
time."

Me "hey no not at all please sit. I've just came back from
home but it's fine....look who's here to see her ncane."

I say taking Luthando out of her stroller . This baby is cute

she looks exactly like her mother.

Sindiswa "She loves You she's not even crying phela this
one is choosy. "Luthando starts kissing me and i kiss her
back. She's so cute. Beatrice comes back with our juice
and a snack and fruit platter. We eat while chatting and
playing with Thando.

Sindiswa "I came here to apologise about what happened

that other day."

Me "There's no need for you to apologise I am the one

who was wrong I crossed all limits. Bukhosi is your
husband."

Sindiswa "and he is your husband too."

Me "ummmh yeah."

Sindiswa "It's okay to fall in love with him you know? That
makes you human."

Me " What are you talking about?" I ask panicking

Sindiswa "I know you love him."

Me "That's not true."

Sindiswa "It's true. I see the way you look at him. You
love him."

Me "Yes I do but he can never love me back....besides

both of you told me that I shouldn't have any
expectations " I say trying to hold my tears. " Well
enough about me " I secretly wipe my tears. "How is
being a mom?"

She looks at me sadly and attentively and smiles.

Sindiswa " it's the most amazing feeling ever but it's also
a lot of work I'm sure when the twins get here you'll need
extra help."

Me "Yeah but I just cannot wait to pop."

Sindiswa "Don't worry you're almost there. "She

smiled. " But it's not easy hey laphayana ukhala uze
uyithulise uhambe emabondweni kuhle okuka
Spiderman. " we both laugh.
Me "Lol that's just something all ladies who have kids say
to scare the ones who have never been in a labour ward."

Sindiswa "Lol okay keep on saying that ungathi

angikutshelanga." We continue talking and laughing up
until she decides to leave . I kiss Luthando goodbye and
they both leave.

A month and a few weeks have passed and I'm due

anytime soon. The maid now sleeps here just so that
when i go into labour someone will be here with me.
Today I'm feeling different I feel pain but it comes and
goes. Bukhosi is spending the night at Sindiswa's house.
I'm way too lazy to do anything so the maid has taken
over cooking for the time being. It's around lunchtime
and I'm eating when i feel pain in my abdomen. I ignore it
and continue eating but late in the afternoon the pain
comes back worse than the last time. I feel wet did I owe
on myself? But this doesn't smell like urine and it is a bit
thick. I touch myself again and my mind registers after a
long time that my water broke. I panick and call my maid
she comes running I tell her what's going on she takes
My two baby bags and my bag and calls my driver.
After a few minutes he arrives and it felt like he took
hours to get here. I'm mad shouting and screaming at
him for being late. They rush me to the hospital my maid
tries to call Bukhosi and he doesn't pick up

Sponsored

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."

Me "I can't I'm tired. "

Nurse "Yes you can think of your Baby fight for him!!!"
I pushed again and nothing.

I pushed again and I felt like something came out of me. I

pushed the placenta then I passed out.

I woke up exhausted and I noticed i was in a hospital bed

I remembered I gave birth to my precious gifts yesterday.
Mother in law was sitting next to my bed reading a book
and there was a small cot bed that was in the room and
inside it laid my two beautiful babies. When she saw that
I was awake she helped me sit up.
Mother "How are you feeling?"

Me "I'm exhausted angsabuyi lana." She laughed.

Mother "kanti khululeka ntombi usazobuya nje." I looked

at her like she was crazy.

Me "can I please see them angsakwazi nokulinda." I say

excitedly she smiles and takes a baby from the cot and
helps me hold him . Immediately as I hold my son in my
hands I fall in love. He is so perfect and beautiful. I kiss
his lips.
Me "He is so beautiful he looks like his dad." I smile teary.

Mother " Yeah kakhulu ngathi wayemuphika...... * deep

sigh * ....I'm sorry my son wasn't here for the birth of the
twins and he still isn't here even now. I still can't get hold
of him. "

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."

Mother "you're a strong and beautiful woman. I don't

think i would've survived what you're going through.

Me "I have kids to think about ma so I'm holding on for

them. They're the only people keeping me sane right
now. They make me want to fight to be better. They're
my reason for breathing. They're my world. Can I see my
daughter now?"
Mother "Yeah sure." She takes my sons and puts him
back inside the cot then comes back with my daughter
awhhh she's so cute. I hold her and kiss her tiny lips and
nose. She is the sweetest girl ever. She yawns and I'm in
love. Someone knocks and opens the door. Awuuuh!
Ubaba wodumo.

Mother "Where were you Bukhosi? Your wife gave birth

all alone I tried calling you but your phone took me
straight to voicemail."

Bukhosi "I'm sorry mom I was with MaKheswa and

she wasn't feeling well so I was taking care of her and our
daughter."
Mother "Ebenani?"

Bukhosi "She had a headache ." Wow!!! So he missed the

birth of our children because his precious wife had a
headache.

Mother "Uyinja Bukhosi!!!! Lomfazi wakho wakushaya

ngephenti." She took her handbag and stormed out of
the room.
He washed his hands and took his son from the cot. He
stared at him for the longest Time.

Bukhosi "He's so perfect he looks just like me."

Me "Yeah he does."

Bukhosi "Have you given them any names yet?"

Me "No do you have any on your mind?"

Bukhosi " yes Sibusiso and Nozibusiso."

Me "Wow they're perfect I'm naming them Nkosenye and

Nkosazana as their second names."

Bukhosi "I love them I'm sorry for not being here for the
birth of our kids."
Me "It's fine I understand."

Then there was an awkward silence we played with the

babies until visitors time was over. We didn't talk I had
nothing to say to him . I think he also realised that I was
mad at him and I wasn't interested in having a
conversation with him.

Chapter 43
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."

Sindiswa "Hey sisi I'm sorry that our husband wasn't

there when you were giving birth it's all my fault." I felt
like saying vele uqinisile it's your fault but I contained
myself.

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.

We drive in silence when we get to my house Sindiswa

helps me carry the babies inside she takes my son into
her arms then we walk inside.

People" surprise!!!!" There were people inside mt house

not many people just my Dad Bukhosi's siblings the king
and his wives. My uncle and aunt were also here.
Me "OMG! You guys did this for me?" I asked teary.

Mother in law "You deserve it my love welcome to

motherhood." She hugs me I'm congratulated by others
as well and I cannot describe how i was feeling.

Me "Thank you so much the decor is beautiful."

Mother in law "Anything for you my love."

Dad "Congratulations my daughter you did well

Sponsored

sorry your mom couldn't make it she had to attend

something important."

Me " Thank you dad and I understand you don't have to

justify her not being here I know she's at home and she
didn't want to come here."
Dad "It's not like that ntombi yami."

Me "Dad what could be more important right now than

me and her grandkids?" He kept quiet . "Exactly! So
please dad stop making excuse for her. If she doesn't
want to be here akafuni."🤷‍♀️

Dad *sigh* Okay Sisi let us have fun and stop stressing
about your mother. "I nodded my head then we hugged.

The party goes on and my kids receive a lot of gifts. Later

people go to their homes and I'm left with Bukhosi and
my maid.

Me "You can go as well Bukhosi I can take care of my kids

alone."

Bukhosi "Our kids Nomthandazo I'm sorry I don't know

what will be proof enough for you to show you how sorry
I am."

Me "Well if I got a R1 from every sorry you've ever said to

me I would be a millionaire by now."
Bukhosi "I'm sorry Sindiswa."

Me "Please close the door on your way out."

Bukhosi "I'm not going anywhere!"

Me " why?"
Bukhosi "My kids need me."

I laugh sarcastically.

Me "What kids? Like you were there when they really

needed You I almost lost my life."

Bukhosi "I said I'm sorry! Please forgive me."

Me "No amount of sorrys will make me forgive

you....Please leave."
Bukhosi "I'm not leaving!"

Me " Fine then this is your house! The only outsiders

here are me and my kids so we will gladly leave your
house."

Bukhosi "Fine! I will leave but I'm sorry I really am sorry

that I wasn't there when you guys needed me. I have
failed you in so many ways I admit but can we start over
again? I'm willing to try this time and I will make sure
Sindiswa knows that as well."
Me "Just go please."

He left I told the maid to go and lock the door then I take
my kids to my room I'm not comfortable with them
sleeping alone yet.

It's been three months since I gave birth to the twins.

This week we're going on a vacation with Bukhosi and
Sindiswa I just hope and pray that no drama takes place.
Mother in law has agreed to babysit the kids so I'm ready
to go.
Today we're leaving for our vacation in Durban my
swimwear is ready bags are packed I'm all ready and
set to go. I bought myself a new sexy lingerie and
sleepwear so I can not wait to take selfies and maybe I'll
find myself a man . Bukhosi and I are still not seeing eye
to eye so I don't know how this whole vacation will go. I
kiss my babies goodbye . They've grown and they are so
cute and chubby. The maids help me take my bags out.
We will be gone for a week. I don't know how I'll cope for
a week without my kids. I wait for Bukhosi and Sindiswa
outside we will be travelling there together which is
weird but it is what it is. We wait for sometime finally
after 15 minutes I see his car approaching us he parks
next to us. He gets out of the car and loads my bags
inside the boot. I bid goodbye to my maids then I get into
backseat. Bukhosi gets inside then we drive to Durban.
It's a long ride so we would stop and go to the bathroom
or buy food . We sit outside the patio and eat. The couple
is feeding each other as usual and having fun.
Sindiswa "sis please take a picture of us." Yho aii ngaze
ngazisola. I smile and take the phone from her.

Me "Okay guys smile." They both smile and I took the

picture then gave Sindiswa her phone back.

Sindiswa" babe look we're couple goals. Right?!!"

Bukhosi "Yeah babe we are." He says trying to shy away

from me. He will never change.
Bukhosi "Babe Please take a picture of me and
Nomthandazo."

Sindiswa "Okay " She takes the phone and tells us to

smile..... awkward......I fake a smile.

Sindiswa "You guys are so cute."

Me "I think we should go we still have a long way."

Bukhosi "You're right. " we drive to Durban and I take
pictures of myself and all the beautiful places we're
passing.

We finally get to Durban and the place is beautiful it has a

vibe I would love to relocate here one day because wow
this place is so refreshing. We finally get to a hotel and
check In. We are card keys for our rooms and I'm glad our
rooms are far apart because I'm here to have fun. Being a
family member of the Zulu royal family all eyes are
usually on us that is why we behave in public because
you may never know if you being followed by a journalist
or not. But this time I'm letting loose. I start my vacation
by ordering a bottle of champagne. Location sila! I play
music and sing and dance I'm glad our rooms are sound
proofed. Someone knocks at my door and I go
open...guess who I find? My beloved husband."
Me "What can I do for You?"

Bukhosi "Can I please come inside?"

Me "Well you're paying for the room so🤷‍♀️ do as you

wish sir."

Bukhosi "Don't be like that......by the way I'm here to

check if you're settling well."
Me " as you can see."

I say pouring my champagne Into a glass."

Bukhosi "Mmmmh I see you're having fun..... Sindiswa

and I were planning to go eat out this evening would you
like to join us?"

Me "no thank you I'll order room service or order in from

any restaurant."

Bukhosi "Come on go with us it will be fun."

Me "argh fine!!!! Is there anything else?"

Bukhosi "No"

Me "Okay you know your way out."

He leaves dissapointed. I don't care it's time I think
about how i feel not his feelings. If that hurt his
ego....oops! I continue my party. Later I shower and wear
my black long dress with a slit on the side and wore my
ruby red lipstick . Damn I look hot!! We go to a restaurant
and order our meals.

Sindiswa "So Nomthandazo how are you finding

Durban?"

Me "This place is beautiful I need to come here often."

Bukhosi "ngeke kwenzeke lokho!!! Wena uma ungahlala
uza lana you would get out of hand."

Me "Awwwh you're scared that I might find someone

who treats me better than You? Are you scared of a little
competition?"

Bukhosi " Well incase you have forgotten you are my

wife and no one is supposed to ask you out or else
buyochitheka bugayiwe."
Chapter 44

The following day we went to the beach and I'm wearing

a sexy swimwear Bukhosi is drooling over me. I'm
looking all kinds of sexy my cleavage is out there my big
ass is out there and my beautiful thick thighs are out
there. We pass by a group of men and they all whistle. I
could that that was driving Bukhosi crazy

Sponsored
 he called his guards to sort the guys out because they
were checking his wife out. Lol he is so dramatic.

After going to the beach we go and play games . Then we

go eat then later we went back to our hotel. I went to
my room and showered then I wore my satin sleepwear. I
take a mirror selfie and post the picture on whatsapp I
hide everyone except for Bukhosi. He views the picture
and I see him calling me. I decide not to answer the call.
I'm enjoying playing with him....soon there's a knock on
the door. I open and find a livid Bukhosi...
Bukhosi "Delete that picture right now!!

Me "Hello to you too husband.....why would I do that?"

Bukhosi "because no one else is supposed to see my wife

naked like that except for me!!"

Me "Uyajabula boh I won't do that."

Bukhosi "Don't push me MaZwide ngithe susa
lesosthombe!"

Me "You are not the boss of me so I won't...... leave my

room!!!"

Bukhosi "I'm not going anywhere until you delete that

photo!"

Me "Fine the suit yourself. "

I got under the covers with my phone and created a
password so that he can't open my phone and put it in
the pedestal . Bukhosi takes my phone and tries to open
it.

Bukhosi "Since when does your phone have a password?"

Me " Since I started talking to this man....."

Bukhosi "What Man?! " I just pretend to be sleeping "

Nomthandazo what Man?! Ungazonghlanyisa uyezwa
and I know you're not sleeping."

I ignore him he storms out and left me me laughing my

as out. I got him! Uzoyeka ukungjwayela kabi.

Chapter 45

Now I have one last move to make. After he left I woke

and went to shower. Eyadini is calling my name. I wear
my short dress with a slit on the side. Operation veza
ithanga! I tie my afro into a bun and wear gold heels. I
have to give it to myself I look bomb! I take my purse and
walk out. I request a taxify and it takes me straight to
Eyadini and the vibe there is out of this world. I take a
few selfies and write a caption "📍 location sila! " and
walk inside. All eyes are on me. After A few minutes I
receive a call from Bukhosi.

Bukhosi "Ukuphi?!"

Me "I'm in my room"
Bukhosi " Well I'm inside your room right now and I don't
see you nowhere in this room.

Me "Oh wow I have disappeared. Maybe I'm invisible

because I'm sleeping on the the bed."

Bukhosi "Nomthandazo don't make a fool out of me!

Where the hell are you?!!!"

Me "Yazi angsaboni ngbona amabhilidi ngi stuck e

Newland west." I sing loud.
Bukhosi "You're testing my patience I know exactly where
you are bengfuna uvume with your mouth ukuthi
usuyayjuxuza wena neygcebhe?! You are my wife and no
one is supposed to see you walking around naked like
that in such places!!! No one is supposed to even drool at
You! Are you trying to kill me Nomthandazo? Do you
want me to have a heart attack?!"

Me "Yenza okubonayo mbhemu! Listen I have to drop

this phone call now you're disturbing my peace and I'm
having a blast here. Amadoda Alana Jesus izigansonso
ngzovuka esfubeni. Bye."
Bukhosi "Don't you dare try me Nomthandazo!!!!"

I drop the call.

BUKHOSI

NOMTHANDAZO MAAN!!!!! She dropped the call on me. I

look at the phone's screen like a mad man.
Unbelievable!!!! She dropped the call on me ?! Me?!!!!
BUKHOSI ZULU uMageba the future king of the Zulu
nation!!!! I take my keys and phone.

Sindiswa "babe where are you going at this time of the

night?"

Me "Sleep I have something to take care of I'm coming

back just now."

Sindiswa "Okay come back soon. "

Me "Okay" I kiss her and leave. I drive to Eyadini like a
maniac when i got there i found her dancing with some
yellowbone guy. Ngyalingwa . I tap this guy on his
shoulder.

Me "Sorry bafo you have something that belongs to me."

Guy "eey mjita fokof saan what is your problem?"

Me "That is my wife you're dancing with!!!"

Guy "Babe is what this guy is saying true? Who's this
Man?"

Thandazo "He's nobody don't mind him."

Me "Ngiyavivinywa!!! Nomthandazo Do you want me to

drag you back to the hotel or uzozihambela?!"

Thandazo "Just leave me the fuck alone!!!!!"

I picked her up and put her over my shoulder like a sack
of potatoes and carried her. The guy got in front of me
and tried to stop me.....uNomthandazo ungijwayeza
nabafana abancane."

Me "Wensizwa suka endleleni yami!!!!"

Guy "You're not taking my woman anywhere!!!! She's my

girl for the night and I have made plans for us."

Me "Wenza ama plans ngomfazi kabani?!!!! This Is my

bodyguard held his hand. I carried my wife to the car and
put her in the backseat. Then I drove back to the hotel.
You could see she was angry.

Chapter 46

Me "Your behaviour is starting to get out of hand!

Ungihlekisa nezwe Nomthandazo! Lento izogcwala
emaphephandabeni! Iyoba indaba izekwayo!!!! Abantu
bazophuza amatiye ngegama lami!!!"
Thandazo "Then why don't you divorce me?!! Release me
and let me go live my fucken life!!"

Me "I can't do that Nomthandazo !!!"

Thandazo "why can't you do it?!!! Huh?!!! You don't need

Thandazo " What is true Then?!!!! I can fucken say what I

Me "I'm in love with you dammit!!!! I can't think straight

and it's driving me crazy!!! There you have it
Nomthandazo!!"

Thandazo "What?!!! You love me ?!! You have a fucken

funny way to show it."
There was no point in arguing with her. I have hurt her so
much that she couldn't understand a word that was
coming out of my mouth. The ride home was just
quiet...."

When we got here in Durban I realised that I have fallen

in love with Nomthandazo and these hints that she has
been sending my way of getting a new man have been
driving me insane. I know I haven't been the best
husband but I deserve some respect from her. She has
been tormenting me ever since we got here. When we
got to the hotel I took her to her room then i went to my
room's balcony and dial Ntandoyenkosi's number. He is
the only who can give me a good advice on what to do in
this situation. He is the only brother that gets
me....Yeah sure I'm close with my other brothers as well
but Ntando and I have a tight relationship. He answers on
the third ring.

He laughs.

Ntando "Bafoza unjani?"

Me "Kuyabheda mfowethu..... I think I'm in love with

Nomthandazo. "

He laughs again.

Ntando "Finally!! So have you told her yet?"

Me "No! That's the problem bafo she is now planning on
getting another man and that is driving me insane. That
woman is mine and mine alone! And I would kill anyone
who tries to take her away from me. But there's another
problem....... Sindiswa!"

Ntando "What about her?"

Me "I don't know how to tell her."

Ntando "ukuze ujabule Bafo you have to tell Sindiswa
how you feel about your second wife. She needs to know
and understand that or else bazomthatha ngempela
uMaNxumalo she's still young and muhle so she can still
get any man she wants. So wena talk to your wife or else
you'll lose your second wife."

Me "Yeah you're right..... So how's Masibiya?" That is his

wife.

Ntando" she's fine kodwa inkani....alufakwa!" I laugh

Me "I don't know where we find these wives that are hot
headed from aii azizwa lezintokazi kodwa zinhle."

We both laugh.

Ntando "And we love them. Lalela bafo I have to check on

my patients now sizokhuluma."

Me "Okay dokotela."
Lol I love teasing him like that....he laughs..

Ntando "Uqalile sathane!!

We laugh then I drop the call. After speaking to Ntando I

felt like it was fair for me to tell Sindiswa about how i feel
and make her aware that I'm willing to pursue a
relationship between Nomthandazo and I. I have to tell
her today. I went into our room and I found her laying
In our bed going through her phone.

Chapter 47
Sindiswa" Darling you're back. I hope everything is okay."

Me "Yes I'm back and I've taken care of the problem.....

maka Luthando ngicela sikhulume."

Sindiswa "Okay it sounds serious." She says sitting up.

Me "I know what I'm going to tell right now is going to
hurt you and I'm sorry. I know I made a lot of promises to
you and I broke all of them and I'm sorry. Maka Luthando
I've fallen in love with uMaZwide. I didn't plan it I swear
it just happened. I want to pursue a relationship between
us. Please give me your blessings."

Sindiswa "Bukhosi uyazizwa uthini Kimi? Ngenzenjani

mina ngivele ngivume nje? Why uthanda ukungizwisa
ubuhlungu obungaka?!" She asks me crying

Me "Ngiyaxolisa ngyamthanda naye and ngiyafisa

ukumjabulisa naye like I'm making you happy. "
Sindiswa "But she got into this marriage azi kahle ukuthi
wenzani ! Why do you need to feel sorry for Her?! "

Me "Sindiswa I told Nomthandazo about you

sengimlobolile..... it wasn't that easy for her ukuthi
angaphuma.... I'm sorry Sindiswa and I know I'm hurting
you right now but I need this my kids need this. But
mostly Nomthandazo needs this. I've been treating her
like a mistress for far too long!"

Sindiswa " Well ngizodinga iskhathi ngicabange."

Me "Fine take all the time you need."

Sindiswa "ngicela Ukshaywa umoya I need to think." She

wore her flip flops and walked out.

SINDISWA

I felt betrayed yet again. I needed someone to talk to and

my mom wasn't an option right ....I strolled through my
contacts Ntombi was my last option she's the only one
who was going to give me a good advice. I haven't spoken
to her in months. I took a deep breath and dialled her
number

it rang and she answered.

Ntombi "Sindiswa ummmh hi."

Me "Ntombi hi how are you?"

Ntombi " I'm good are you okay? Is Luthando Fine?"

Me "Luthando is fine but I'm not."

Ntombi "What's wrong sis?"

Me "It's Bukhosi he is love with Nomthandazo Ntombi he

promised me he will only be mine."
Ntombi "But mntase how can you expect him to be only
yours when he married another wife? Sindiswa that is so
unfair what about the other woman's needs? I've never
known you to be this self centered and selfish person.
You're in a polygamous marriage and wonke umuntu
should enjoy leyondoda ngokufanayo. "

Me "But she got into this marriage knowing ukuthi

Bukhosi is mine!"

Ntombi "We Sindiswa Bukhosi has spoiled you too

much as his wife lalela you knew from the word go that
he was going to take another wife. Leyangane
wayikhetha emhlangeni aksiyona eyamkhetha... what
would you prefer ukuthi ahlukane nomama weyngane
zakhe? Uzothini lezingane zikhule zikzonda ? Uzothini
uBukhosi esekuzonda esebona iyngane zakhe being
raised by another man? Because he may act okay right
now all lovey dovey but he will blame everything on you
makungathiwa uyahamba loyamfazi. Sindiswa you chose
to marry a polygamous man and you should understand
that he belongs to the two of you not only you. She is his
wife as much as you are his wife . "

Me "I understand sisi."

Ntombi " I know it's not easy but the poor girl deserves
happiness."
Me "Thank you sis"

Ntombi "Anytime sthandwa sami."

I dropped the call and I realised how much I have been

unfair in this marriage.

The waiter comes back

Waiter "Are you guys ready to order starters?"

Me "Yes I would like chicken livers peri peri."

Bukhosi "I would like a caviar please "

Waiter "Coming right up"

The waiter brings our food we eat and suddenly the
lights dims a white guy plays the saxophone.

Bukhosi "your highness can I have this dance?"

Me "Yes sire you may." He takes my hand into his and

holds my waist then we dance.

Me "Don't mind if I step on you

look beautiful tonight."

Me "Thank you you look handsome as well."

Bukhosi "Can I kiss you?"

Me "Yes "

We kiss and for the first time In my life I felt like this is
where I belong. He is my home. Later on we order the
main course and the food Is delicious. After eating we
order drinks and just talk and get to know each other.

Bukhosi " so besides being my beautiful wife what else

were your dreams?"

Me "You're so full of yourself... so my dream was to

marry you? " i asked laughing " But on a serious note my
dream was to be a chef or a fashion designer."
Bukhosi "Wow and you're good at doing both those
things ...... how about I invest in your dream?"

Me "Are you serious? But I thought you didn't want a

working wife."

Bukhosi "I don't but if you can have balance between

your work and building our home then I do not have a
problem. "
Me "Wow thank you so much myeni wami."

Bukhosi "So how long did the doctor say it's going to take
for you to heal down there?"

Me "What do you mean?"

Bukhosi " how long do I have to wait before I Ummh.....

Before I make love to you."
Me "You're so naughty..... but I've healed and I'm ready
for you...... the question should be are you ready for
Me?"

Bukhosi "waiter can I have the bill please?!" He asks the

waiter.

Me "But Mageba we haven't had dessert yet."

Bukhosi "Baby you're the dessert for tonight."

He pays the bill and took my hand and lead me to the
parking . It was so quiet here we ended up having our
first round inside the car. After that we fixed ourselves
and drove to the hotel when we got there I said goodbye
to him.

Bukhosi "I'm spending the night here with you."

Me "But Sindiswa..... "

Bukhosi "You're also my wife."

I ended up agreeing we made love all night long. We

couldn't get enough of each other. I was praying that this
moment last forever. I didn't want to get my hopes high
only to get disappointed as usual.

Chapter 53

The following morning I was woken up with breakfast in

bed. I believe he ordered food for us. Love is beautiful to
love and be loved back is the most precious thing.
Bukhosi " good morning wife."

Me "Good morning husband."

Bukhosi "You're so beautiful." He says taking off strands

of hair from my face."

Me "Thank you."
Bukhosi "Can I get a kiss?"

I hide my face.

Me "Morning breath."

Bukhosi "Come on baby by now you should know that I'm

madly in love with you I'd even drink your spit if I had to.
Come here come give daddy a kiss."
I slowly go to him and quickly give him a peck."

Bukhosi "babe that's cheating." He laughs

Me "But I gave you a kiss nje."

Bukhosi "ungirobhile woza futhi."

I go to him and he holds my waist and passionately kiss
me.

Bukhosi "That..... that is what I was talking about." He

says winking at me.

Bukhosi "I have to go sthandwa sami I will see you emini

because I'm taking both you and Sindiswa out."

Me "Okay sthandwa sami."

Bukhosi "I love you mama uyezwa ?"

Me "I love you more."

Bukhosi "Okay bye....mncwaaa." he says kissing me.

Me " bye."
He leaves and I'm already missing him. I go back to sleep .
Later I wake up and shower and wear a blue tight dress
and tie my weave into a bun. I go to Sindiswa's room and
I find her sitting alone watching a movie.

Me "Hey sis."

Sindiswa "Hey you."

Me "Can I join you?"

Sindiswa "Yeah sure." I looked at her and she seemed
distant.

Me "Can I ask you something?"

Sindiswa "Yeah sure."

Me "I'm curious to know

Sponsored
 are you happy with me fixing things with your
husband?"

Sindiswa "Our husband Nomthandazo.... and yes I am

happy."

Me "Sindiswa please be honest. "

Sindiswa "ummmh I'm not going to lie and say it's easy
but as time goes on I will get used to it."

Me "Maybe we should stop then."

Sindiswa "No!! Don't!! I want you to be happy as well.

Me "Thank you."
Bukhosi came back and took us out. We went to shop
and went to eat. The following days of our vacation we
went for wine tasting horse riding to play games to the
zoo and to many other places and it was fun.

Today we're finally going back home Durban has been

fantastic!!! I miss my babies . My bags are packed and I'm
ready to go home. Bukhosi takes my bags to the car. I
take one last selfie in my hotel room I'm going to miss
Durban I had a great time here . When we got to the I
find Sindiswa sitting at the backseat.

Sindiswa "go sit in the front seat. I want to rest I'm

tired.".
Me " yes I'm sure."

I sit in front.... Bukhosi plays music. He is driving and

dancing.

Bukhosi "Mmapula yazi ngyakuthanda ukuthi awuboni

ngoba onenkani hhaibo!! " I take out my phone and take
videos of him.

Bukhosi "Awudanse ngbone sbutubutu."

I laugh

Me "I don't know how to dance."

The ride back home is fun we are the conversation is

flowing and we are dancing. We stop here and there and
take pictures. I thought Sindiswa was going to have a
problem with me sitting here but she is just talking and
laughing with us. We get home very late. Bukhosi takes
my bags out of the boot and put them inside the house
then he kissed me.
Bukhosi "I will see you tomorrow. "

Me "Okay "

Bukhosi "I love you."

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
when i went to the vacation in Durban. The house is
beautiful it has six bedrooms and each bedroom has it's
own bathroom. It has a kitchen

lounge and a dining room. This is the home I've always

dreamt of building for my father. I love this man.
Bukhosi hired an interior architecture while we were in
Durban who decorated the whole place. And I have to
say they did a wonderful job. They have wow and they
have electricity now.

Me "Baba sanibonani."

Dad "Hau ntombi unjani?"

Me "I'm fine father are you enjoying your new house?"

Dad "Kakhulu ndodakazi. This house is beautiful it's like

I'm living in a dream. Thank you my daughter for
everything "

Me "What I'm doing for you can never be close to all

that you've done for me. I love you father and I still want
to do great things for you."

Dad " Ngiyabonga ngane yami may God bless you my

child. " We talk and catch up for a while. " This feels like a
dream ngyabonga kakhulu ndodakazi awazi Ngijabule
kanjani. UNkulunkulu ikubusise."

Me "Thank you father ....let me leave I was here to see

your house and i see that you're having the time of your
life here."

Dad "I am my daughter I take a shower now ngathi

ngiwumlungu. All the men and women if this village are
jealous of me now...hhayi ngyabonga mntanami."

Me "Baba it's nothing

I hug him and get in the car...... We drove back home. I go

to my mother in law's house to fetch my kids and they're
happy to see Me. I stay for a while just catching up. I
had a great time. Later on I went home to cook for my
husband he is coming here today . I make fried rice and
grilled chicken with a green salad. I hear his car driving
inside the garage and the lounge door opening and
closing.

Bukhosi "Mawabo I'm home!"

Me "I'm in the kitchen!!"

He walks inside carrying roses. He gives them to me...

Bukhosi "for my beautiful lady."

Me "Thank you myeni wami." I kiss him . I turn and

continue cooking.

He holds my waist while kissing my neck.

Bukhosi "I missed you..... it smells good in here."

Me "I missed you too..... go change so that I can dish up
for you."

He kiss me on the lips and goes to our bedroom. He

comes back wearing his sweat pants and a hoodie and
sits on the lounge. I take a bowl with water to where he is
sitting and he wash his hands and wiped them with a
napkin. I dish up for him and myself then I join him.

Bukhosi "Yazi sthandwa sami I've been thinking."

Me "Yes tell me."

Bukhosi " I'm thinking of renovating your house and
doing additions here and there."

Me "But I don't see anything wrong with my house. " I

say lying through my teeth.

Bukhosi "Babe come on please give me a chance to do

this one good thing for you."

Me "Okay."
Bukhosi "please dish up another plate for me."

Me "Okay coming right up."

Bukhosi "Where are the kids?"

Me " They're in their nursery sleeping."

Bukhosi "That's good then because that means mommy
and daddy gets to play."

I laugh we talk and laugh later we went to our bedroom

and made love.

Around three I was woken up by one of the twins. I woke

up and went to their nursery and find my son crying. I
change his diaper and feed him then I change my
daughter's diaper and feed her as well. I sit on the
rocking chair and rock them back and forth until they fall
asleep. I place them gentle inside their cots and go back
to my room. I find Bukhosi awake.

Bukhosi " Where did you go I was missing you?"

Me "I went to check up on the kids."

Bukhosi "The bed was cold without you."

Me "I'm back now go back to sleep sthandwa sami you

have work tomorrow."

Bukhosi "You don't have to do all this alone. We should

write something sort of a time table of how we will both
check up on the kids I want to rest as well."

Me "But you know I don't do this all the time Beatrice

and their nanny are coming back tomorrow . Don't worry
yourself just focus on getting rest khona uzosebenza
ungiphe imali eningi." He laughs

Bukhosi "ngisathi ngicosha ama points okuba u best

husband uyangivimba. But it's okay if you say so."
Me "You're already the best husband in the world.. now
go back to sleep."

He pulls me by my waist closer to him and we cuddle. We

fall asleep in each other's arms. The following morning i

woke up prepared hubby's breastfast and lunchbox. Then
I iron his outfit for the day. When he is done getting
dressed he goes to the lounge to eat.

Bukhosi "Thank you so much for the delicious breakfast

council members."

Me "Okay myeni wami."

He kiss me.
Bukhosi "I'll see you tomorrow I love you Okay?"

Me " I love you too."

He kiss me again and takes his briefcase car keys and

phone.

Bukhosi "Awusayikhaphi nakancane nje indoda?"

I blush and take his lunchbox and see him out.

Bukhosi " I'll see you tomorrow ke sthandwa sami."

Me *sulking* I'm going to miss you."

Bukhosi "I know I'm going to miss you too but tomorrow
is only a few hours away."

Me "Mhm okay."
Bukhosi "ngiyakuthanda uyezwa sbutubutu sami?"

Me "Ngyakthanda nami muntu wami."

Bukhosi "Have a great day ke bye .

We kiss then I put his lunchbox inside the car and I go

back inside the house.
Six months have passed my kids are growing everyday
and they are so cute they both look like their father but
they have my dimples and skin complexion. I recently
got my license . Yay!! Bae has been pressurising me to get
one so I finally took the driving lessons and got my
license. I failed the test once and it felt like hell hubby
encouraged me not to give up I passed when i took the
test again and I've never been so happier. A few weeks
back Bukhosi and I spoke to the builders of my house and
they will start building in 4 weeks so I'll be moving to the
main house with my kids for that time being. Today i
don't have any plans so I'm just chilling and watching a
movie when I received a call from Sindiswa. I answer.

Me "Hey love."
Sindiswa "Hey sis..... do you have any plans for Today?"

Me "No I don't ....why?"

Sindiswa " I'm bored and I was thinking of going to

Newcastle...Would you like to come with Me?"

Me "ummmh yeah sure."

Sindiswa "perfect I'll be there to pick you up in a hour."

Me " Okay...let me get ready then."

Sindiswa "Okay I'll see you in an hour bye."

Me " Bye."
I took a shower and wore a white summer dress and
sandals and combed my afro. Sindiswa called informing
me that she is outside . The ride to Newcastle is fun

Sponsored

we're listening to music dancing and taking videos.

We get to Newcastle and went to the mall. We shopped
till we dropped. We bought our kids clothes and we
decided to buy something for Bukhosi as well. Sindiswa
picks a few shirts. Most of our clothes are bought from
other countries.
Sindiswa "Do you see anything you would love to buy for
him?"

Me "No." I lie through my teeth.

Sindiswa "Don't lie and besides we're spending his

money. "

Me "if you say so then those sweat pants would love

great on him."
Sindiswa "That's more like it."

We both laugh. After shopping we went to eat and also

ordered takeaways. When we got outside the mall it's
dark outside. Shiiit !!! Bukhosi is going to flip! The
driver takes us back home and I'm worried that he will be
mad! I'm just glad he is not coming to my house. When
we drive into my yard Bukhosi's car Is parked outside .
What Is he doing here?! We both walk inside and find
him playing with the twins and Luthando.

Bukhosi "Finally the Queens of the Zulu Nation are

back!!! Where were you?!!" He calls the nanny to come
and take the kids.
Sindiswa "We went to do some shopping in Newcaste"

Bukhosi "Nicele kubani ukuhamba?!"

We both kept quiet

Bukhosi "Niyazenzela nje emzini kababa?!!!!"

Sindiswa "I was going to call you I swear but we left in a
hurry that I forgot to inform you."

Bukhosi " Wena MaNxumalo aren't you going to say sorry

or usaqhuba khona ukwedelela?!"

I hate being shouted on if you know me that is one

thing I hate I don't say anything instead I just cry

Bukhosi "Manje ukhalelani?!"

I cry harder and louder than before

Bukhosi "I'm sorry now you're making me feel guilty.

Come to me both of you."

We both walk slowly to him he make us sit on both his

laps. I just look down playing with my hands.

Bukhosi "I'm sorry for shouting at you....kodwa nani

anizwa you were both wrong for leaving without telling
me.... what if something happened to you?! Next time
please tell me when you go somewhere so that I'll be
aware....niyezwa?"

Me "Siyezwa *hiccup * and I'm sorry we will not do it

again. "

Bukhosi "Owhh sekuxoliswa ngoba selehlile iconsi lakwa

Nxumalo? Thula ke mama uyezwa?"

Me "Okay"
Bukhosi "So did you guys get me anything?" He asks
wiggling his eyebrows smiling.

Sindiswa "Yes. " she shows him what we bought him.

Bukhosi "Mhm wow thank you. MaNxumalo we're

leaving now please be ready tomorrow by ten there's
somewhere I want to take the both of you tomorrow. "
Me "And where are you taking us tomorrow?"

Bukhosi "It's a surprise but please be ready."

Me "Okay"

Bukhosi " Okay I'll see you tomorrow okay?"

Me "Okay "

Bukhosi "I love you. " he pecks my lips.

Me "I love you too."

Sindiswa comes back from the nursery carrying a sleeping

Luthando and gave her to her father. We hug then he
takes her hand and they both walk outside. He hoots and
leaves. Shuu! I thought he was going to punish us but I'm
just glad my tears softened up his heart. This day was
hectic and exhausting. I went to the bathroom and took a
shower and wore my pyjamas then I went to my kid's
nursery I found the nanny playing with them. I love how
both my nanny and the maid make themselves scarce
when my husband is here. They both live here now
they share a room.

Me "Hey ..... how are they?"

Nanny "They're both fine but I'm sure they were

missing you."

Me "I'm such a bad mom..... I've been out since morning

and I'm only coming back now."
Nanny "No don't think like that I mean you're always in
the house with your kids and if you're not here it's either
you are at church or in the driving school so you deserve
a break too sis ."

Me "you think So?"

Nanny "I know so.... you don't have to feel guilty for
going out just one day

Nanny "I know so.... you don't have to feel guilty for
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
guilty." She smiled.

I play with my kids till they fall asleep I kiss their tiny
foreheads and go to sleep..

The following morning i woke up and did my daily

hygiene process then I wore my blue dress with sandals
and waited for my husband. He calls and tell me that he
Is outside I went to the car. I'm kind of scared.... what if
he is taking us somewhere to punish us for what we did
yesterday? I don't trust this sudden trip at all. As he is
driving I'm just scared and curious where he is taking
us. He drives and finally gets to a car garage. Okay why
are we here? Maybe he wants us to help him choose a
car. Wow !!! This is going to be exciting. He parks the car
we get out then he takes both our hands and lead us
inside the garage.

Manager "Welcome Mr Zulu and your lovely wives would

you guys love to look around?"

Bukhosi "Yes please"

Manager " would you like anything to drink while you
guys look around?"

Bukhosi "Three glasses of orange juice would be Fine

please."

Sindiswa "Babe what are we doing here?"

Bukhosi "you'll see."

The manager leaves and come back with our drinks. We
go around looking at different cars. We finally get to the
Mercedes AMG G63

Bukhosi "This is your surprise. I'm here to buy you both

cars. I appreciate the both of you being in my life and I
want to make you both happy. I'm grateful for the
beautiful children you've given me. I thank God for
making me meet the both of you. I'm buying this car for
you and you'll choose which colour you want this is to
show how much I appreciate having both of you in life."

I couldn't hold my tears. He has really outdone himself

this time

wow!! I'm going to have a car? Not just a car a car

that costs millions. Me ? Nomthandazo Nxumalo? A
village girl will own this car? Wow!!!

Me "OMG!! Thank you Mageba!! Thank you so much

sthandwa sami this is a beautiful surprise. "I say wiping
my tears.
Sindiswa "Thanks babe!!!" She hugs him.

We chose our cars I chose a charcoal black one and

Sindiswa chose white. Wow! If this is how it feels to be
loved then I pray What I have with Bukhosi lasts till
forever. The manager broght us a bottle of champagne
and glasses we made a toast and took pictures. We
drive our cars behind his and we went eat lunch then
later we went home to celebrate and everyone is
here to celebrate with us it is obvious everyone else
knew about this surprise except for us." I was glad that
my father was here together with my mom and sisters
are here that's a first..... both my sisters seemed
genuinely happy for Me it was kind of strange especially
after what happened between Nqobile and I.
Chapter 59

NARRATED

Nokuthula Nomthandazo's mother excused herself and

went outside. She took out her phone from her purse
and contacted her new Witch.

Thuli " hello."

Voice "Usufunani ke manje?"

Thuli "Ngenzenjani ngomuthi ongnike won a?

Voice "Ugcobise emasondweni emoto uyakudibana

nengozi iqede ngaye."

Thuli "Kuhle lokho " she dropped the call

She was jealous that all these beautiful things were
happening for Nomthandazo not Nqobile . She smeared
umuthi on all tyres and laughed. She was satisfied and
happy that finally she had found someone who finally
agreed to help her eliminate her problem and she was
sure that if ephunyuke lana kshuthi u strong. She went
back inside.

NOMTHANDAZO

Thando "sisi Wow!! You look gorgeous and you're

glowing."
Me "Thank you so much sis."

Nqo "Your car is beautiful. "

Mother just said mxm.

Me "Owwh thanks."
Nqo "Sis I need to speak to you in private about
something."

Dad "Nqobile don't start please this is really a beautiful

day for my daughter and I don't want you to ruin it with
your negativity."

Nqo "No dad I don't want to say anything bad to her."

Dad "Kuyokusiza lokho because if I see a single tear from

her face after This 'conversation ' of yours uzongazi."
Nqo "Yes dad."

Me "Don't worry father I'm sure she'll behave.... right

Nqobile?"

Nqo "Yes"

We went outside to the garden and we sat on the bench.

Me "You can talk."

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."

Me "Nqobile you can still do all that just forgive

yourself and start life afresh. You deserve all the
happiness in the world. Don't think you're inferior to me
and you don't need a man to succeed in life. I believe
each and every one of us have a journey in this life. I
forgive you but my forgiveness won't help you in any way
if you don't forgive yourself because your past will
forever haunt you. Don't let the devil use your past
against you. You were young then and now you've learnt
from your mistakes

 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."

Nqo " I'm scared sis "

Me "You don't need to be scared anymore .....I'm here for

you I will support you in every way I can and stop letting
mother control your life.... She has lived her own and she
has children of her own. I know you love and respect
her but she's ruining your life."

Nqo " I know that is why i have decided to move to the

main house with baba but I don't think he would want
me there and I don't blame him I've disrespected him and
his home."

Me "Don't worry about father I'll talk to him.... I'm so glad

that you've realised your mistake and came to apologize
to me. I love you."

Nqo "I love you too sis."

We hug and go back inside.

Chapter 60

I looked around and I didn't see my mother anywhere

Dad "She has left ntombi yami I'm sorry."

Me "It's fine it's obvious she didn't want to be here."

Dad "Nomthandazo don't talk like that."

Me "I don't want to cause a scene dad but I've made

peace with that my mother hates me."
I went to join Sindiswa..... We danced and drank
champagnes . We had fun until the party ended and
people left. We all went to our houses to rest. In the
middle of the night I'm woken by my ringing phone. I
search for it and finally find it under the dress I was
wearing. That's how tired i was last night I just undressed
and got under the covers I didn't bother doing anything
else.

Me "hello." In a tired voice.

Voice "Ndodakazi sekwenzeke inkinga Lana!!"

Me "Father what's wrong?"

Dad "When we were driving back home we met with the

car that took your mother home in an accident...... We
asked around and they said she was rushed to the
hospital with the driver three hours ago. The hospital
tried to contact me when i was there but my phone was
on silent that is why i didn't hear it . We rushed to
esbhedlela and ...... and ." He said with a shaking Voice
sounding like he has been crying."

Me "Father tell me.... how is mother?!" I ask crying

myself."
Dad "She didn't make it my baby and the driver is fighting
for his life in ICU as we speak."

Me "No !!! No !!! Father mom is not dead !!! She is not
dead!!! She can't be dead😭😭😭😭

Dad "I'm sorry my daughter....I'll inform your husband

right away you can't be alone you need to be with
someone right now ." He continued speaking my mind
was miles away ngase ngimuzwa engathi ukhulumela

my door.
Bukhosi " can I come in?"

I just blankly looked at him. He rushed to me and

hugged me.... I don't what is it with hugs that makes you
break down. I broke down and cried. She was my mother
even though she wanted nothing to do with me but I
loved her

Sponsored
 i loved her with all my heart. I cried..... I cried for our
broken relationship.... I cried for the love i never received
from her the kisses and hugs I never got from my
mother."

Me "She..... She is gone and....and ..... and .....and I will

never get the chance to...... tell her.... how much I love
her... " I said with hiccups

Bukhosi "She knows you love her. "

I cried this felt like a dream not even a dream but a

nightmare. Bukhosi spent the night comforting me I don't
know when i fell asleep the following morning I woke
up packed my bags and Bukhosi drove me home. When
I got there I think reality struck me when i saw people in
our yard.

Bukhosi held my hand and kissed it.

Bukhosi "I'll be here every step of the way you are not
alone."

Me "Thank you."
Bukhosi "I love you so much. "

Me "I love you too."

Bukhosi "let's go inside."

We walked inside people were hugging me all the way

to the house. You could feel sadness in the air. We
found dad sitting in the lounge alone lost in thoughts.
Me "Father!"

Dad "Ntombi yami ! She is really gone..... I had hope that

we could still fix our broken relationship but she is gone
now!"

Me "I'm so sorry!"

Dad "It's okay dear such things are parts of life."

Me "Mageba would like to have a word with you.... I'm
going to help out in the kitchen."

Bukhosi " Don't overwork yourself please you need to

rest ." He says kissing my forehead. I nod my head then
leave them to their discussion. After an hour I see my
father and Bukhosi coming out of the lounge walking
towards me.

Dad "Washada indoda eqotho ndodakazi

.....mkhwenyana has offered to take care of the funeral
expenses."

Me "But Mageba you don't have to...."

Bukhosi " i know but i want to ." He says kissing the top of
my head.

Me "Thank you so much myeni wami this means so much

to me."

e with open arms and hearts. They were happy to see

Me especially my grandmother. I was grateful to find her
still alive. I even went to visit my parents graves kumele
ngibenzele amatshe nje . They shown me their pictures .
Mom was right I looked exactly like my mother even my
body structure. She was a beautiful curvy woman with
dimples and an afro just like mine my dad was a tall dark
and handsome man you could see all ladies were drooling
over him. I'm glad finally I got to know the truth about
where I truly come from and I'm grateful to my dad for
that.

5 YEARS LATER

NOMTHANDAZO

If someone told me five years ago that this would be my

life I would've laughed at them. It's been a blissful and
amazing five years of my life and I'm still very much in
love with my husband.... there is two of us but when he's
with me I feel like I'm the only girl. My twins have grown
and they're smart and guess what? I'm expecting again
and it's another baby boy.... Bukhosi spoils me rotten he
makes sure that I'm well rested and that I'm healthy.
Sindiswa had another daughter three years ago. We've
gotten so close over these past years to a point that I
consider her my sister. We do everything together. I
finally went to Study and start my own business. I
graduated last year and I'm now a qualified fashion
designer. My husband is now the king and when he was
crowned things were a bit difficult for him especially
handling the crown and two wives and spending time
with all his children but he finally got the hang of it and
we've never been happier.

Today it is my husband's birthday Sindiswa and I have

planned a surprise party for him. The party is held at
Sindiswa's garden and it is decorated so beautifully. Me
and my sister wife are wearing matching white dresses.
My bump is just out there. All of our families are here .
Nqobile is now a qualified lawyer and she is married to
this white guy they adopted a child and they are happy
and in love. Ntombi and her husband were here too with
their son.

We came up with a plan of how to get the birthday boy

here. We asked mam Doris to call him using Sindiswa's
phone.... everyone is already here waiting for him the
phone rings and he answers on the third ring

Bukhosi "Mkami"

Doris "Sir please come home quickly Madam has

fainted!!!"

Bukhosi "Doris calm down....... now tell me what is wrong

with my wife?"

Doris " I heard a sound like someone falling and hitting

the concrete floors from the garden and when i went to
check what that noise was I found out madam has fainted
and she is bleeding!! Something like foam is coming out
of her mouth!!!

Bukhosi "Calm down..... ummm please check her pulse!!!

Doris "I don't know what that is !!!" She said crying
hysterically.

Bukhosi "Shit!!!!! Don't worry nothing is going to happen

to her just call the ambulance I'm on my way home
right now!!!!

Doris " Okay Sir!!

Bukhosi "Don't worry nothing Is going to happen to her

.....Okay?!!! " he sounded like he was running. "I'll be
there just now.!!!"

Doris "Yes sir." He dropped the call and everyone in the

room erupted In laughter.

Me "Doris you're really good."

Sindiswa "She is right? She should consider making

acting her career ."
Me "Yeah she is great. Okay people fun is over we need
to hide he'll be here any time from now!!!" We all found
places to hide

Me " Doris go wait for him In the living room"

Sindiswa "You're right we can't be all here." Doris leaves.

After a few minutes we hear his car driving in high speed.

We listen and wait as he talks to Doris.
Bukhosi" Where is She?!!!"

Doris "She is still in the garden!!! I called the ambulance

and they said they will be here soon!!"

Bukhosi "Bloody paramedics they will take their time !!!

Come and help me carry her I'm taking her to the hospital
myself!!!" It hasn't even occurred to his mind that we
have drivers all over the palace why didn't Doris ask any
of them
Doris "Yes Sir!!!

His steps sounds like they are coming towards the

garden. He comes in and we all come out of our hiding
places.

Us "SURPRISE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Bukhosi "Oh wow!!! You guys are sly!!! And here I

thought my wife was sick."
Sindiswa "Well that was the only way we could get you to
leave your office . ...and it worked!"

Bukhosi "Yeah Doris sounded so convincing .... but thank

you this is really a nice surprise. Come here. " he pulls her
into his arms and kiss her forehead."

Bukhosi "Thank you so much. He pulls me into his arms

and kiss the top of my head .
Bukhosi "Thank you to you too."

Me "Well you better go upstairs and get dressed Mr

party."

Bukhosi "Mmmh I love the sound of that." He leaves with

Sindswa and go upstairs to their bedroom.... I used to be
jealous of the relationship he has with her but now I've
come to understood that he loves us the same way and
he makes sure that we're both happy and that is enough
for me. I love him too much and I've seen his love for me.
They come downstairs with her hand linked to his arm
they stand next to me. He takes my hand and links it to
his arm he smiles proudly showing off. Lol one thing
about my husband is that he loves to boast especially
about his two wives . We're his flowers and he never let
us forget that and he makes sure that he shows us off to
the world. We're all over his Instagram and Facebook. I
appreciate the love i receive from him akwandele bani.
He walks with us greetings the guests

Me "My feet are killing me I need to sit down."

Bukhosi "Let me help you to your seat. "

Me "No sthandwa sami I'll be okay just continue with the
guests."

Bukhosi "Are you sure ?"

Me "Yes sthandwa sami..... Don't worry about me.... go."

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
