When I first saw you

New chapter

Sibanes PoV

I’m still numb, my heart is ready to stop any minute now and these clothes that I’m wearing are not making things easy “Sathan udanile UThixo uvumile u Siba utshata Halala” my bridal party is taking it to another level and fuck the weather is cold the truck is not making it easy. We bought everything yesterday I just hope Mr Husband likes my taste in bedding if he doesn’t then too bad kalok happy wife happy home. I don’t know my husband but my parents assured me that  he’s a good person and I honestly didn’t have any reason to decline apart from being young and not ready, my ass hurts and they still expect me to do all the makoti duties after this ohw hay Bawo ngenelela.  We got there at around 00:00 ndifile kemna my best friend was out of it drunk she kept on checkup on me, they stopped singing then I heard my brother talk “Nana ndim uVukani, this is not the end of our relationship you’ll always be my little sister. You choose to marry this guy so please treat him with respect you’ve always wondered how we still make it work after 10 years of my bad habits and her neat freak tendencies well I respect my woman the same way as she respects me, you are your home’s image do don’t make them doubt us or you” under the blanket I was a hot mess “Sibs ka bhuti, my heart is heavy today I saw my father cry he couldn’t hold it in you’re our little flower one minute you were ,2 then the next u oboniwe. Enjoy your marriage Mhamha, be yourself, be humble, support your husband, respect your in-laws they are your new family. Asikulahli sisakuthanda mathunjana”. Their words made me cry I couldn’t even speak I just kept on crying until I feel asleep.

Sobuhle

By 4 am the whole house was up some slaughtering sheep while others made sure the in-laws were still comfortable, as the sun rises I notice the huge truck that had the bride’s gifts “mom is asking for the keys to your room” my sister looked annoyed but I was not having that I’m not her friend. “atittude Sisana we’re not equals” she rolled her eyes and left. I went outside and the wedding was in full swing some singing while some were busy with the food or just talking while both my sister’s decided to invite their friends my exes I just greeted and left for my mom’s room to get my clothes on my way there my sister corned me “Hlelo not today please” she looked beyond pissed but let me pass either way. “Mamam” she looked at me with teary eyes “ohw Sana lam, I worry about you I worry about your wife. Umphathe kakuhle omnye umntwana Toto”  I just smile and hug her to assure her that I’ll be fine “mama I’m marrying the woman I love, we won’t get it right all the time but we’ll eventually get it right'’. By 7 the bridal party is at the gate demanding food and water my sister attends to them then they leave. I decide to make breakfast for myself because everything is up to date the meat food and clothes for the groomsmen, my best friend parks his car outside while running inside “im sorry I’m late the wife lost her luggage last night but I’ll tell you late, have they arrived” I hardly smoke but the nerves are kicking in so I took one from my brother, I shook my head in response then passed it to him while he handed me a spray and mint”bhuti uxolo vah” his wife passed running inside to my sister-in-law who looked overjoyed to see her. The first thing I heard was the song they were singing “usisi yhi golide ubhuti unezandundu…” I hurried outside my friends were already there

Her bridal party did not disappoint, the singing and the outfits, when they got to our gate someone layed ukhukho for her then the negotiations began 30 minutes later they let them in. I had not seen the  décor so when I got in I was surprised I wanted to cry honestly everything was well put together and 10 minutes later my wife walked in looking like the queen she is dress flowing her Afro well done and then she raised her eyes to me and just like that I Sobuhle Ndithi was gone, tears and all.
