Cursed - My Name Is Karma

CHAPTER 39

SEASON FINALE
MONTE

It has been 4 days and Kwenama hasn’t made contact. I am worried. I feel like something bad has happened to her. I can’t sit around and do nothing. I am going crazy. I take a shower and get dressed. I take my car keys which were brought by one of my friends 2 days ago. I head to the kitchen to get bottled water and I find Sikhanyiso eating cereal. I greet him, take the water and as I am about to head out, he speaks up.

Sikhanyiso: “where are you going?”
Me: “I am going to check up on Kwenama. She said she will contact me in 3 days and today is the fourth day. She hasn’t made contact and I am worried. I am going to her house.”

Sikhanyiso: “I am also worried about Sibabalwe. Her phone has been on voicemail since yesterday. I fear that something bad has happened to her.” He stands up and puts the bowl he was using in the sink. We head to the lounge and find Baphuncumo with Ongeziwe. They seem to be in deep conversation.

Baphuncumo: “where are you two off to?
Me: “to check on Kwenama.”
Ongeziwe: “we are coming with you.”

We all climb into our cars and drive to Kwenama’s house. When we get to her part of the town, the weather is so bad. It is raining really hard and there are even floods. We are forced to leave our cars on the main road and walk to her house. The closer we get to her house, the hard the rain falls. We get to the gate and walk inside the yard. I finally spot her sitting on the porch. She is cradling someone’s body. Tears are streaming down her cheeks. She once said something about the weather being determined by her mood.

Sikhanyiso: “SIBABALWE!” he runs to them and shake Sibabalwe’s body. I get to them. Sibabalwe has her eyes closed and a smile on her face. Even a kid can see that she is gone. I hope Kwenama and make her stand up. I cup her face and make her look at me. Her eyes are bloodshot red.

Me: “please stop crying.” she shakes her head.
Kwenama: “I can’t stop the tears.” I sigh.
Me: “please try or you will drown us all.” she just wraps her arms around my waist and I hug her. She sniffs and the rain immediately stops. I break the hug and look at her. “What happened?”

Kwenama: “they killed her because of me. I killed Nyx but she also took a very important part of my life away from me. I am heartbroken. I don’t know if I will ever heal or move on from this. My body is so weak.” She is shaking. She is also bleeding.

Sikhanyiso: “baby please wake up. Baby wake up. It’s me, your Sikhanyiso. Please just open your eyes and look at Me.” after not getting the response that he was hoping for, he starts crying.
Kwenama: “I am sorry bhuty. This is all my fault.”

Baphuncumo: “it is not your fault. You didn’t choose this. You were forced into this. None of it is your fault.” She looks at all of us and then looks ahead. Then she just disappears. My eyes pop out.
Ongeziwe: “where did she go?”
Me: “I don’t know.”
Sikhanyiso: “what are we going to say to her family?”

Baphuncumo: “We are going to say thieves broke in and did this to her. No parent can believe that their child was killed by supernatural beings. We just have to make everything look convincing and also tear this house to shreds.” I look around.
Me: “that won’t be necessary because the house is already damaged.” I sit next to Sikhanyiso. “Are you okay?”

Sikhanyiso: “our time was cut short. I still wanted to be with her. To love her unconditionally. To change for her and to make her my wife and the mother of my children. I wish we had more time. I really can’t believe that something like this happened. I can’t believe that she is dead.”

Ongeziwe: “we have to call the cops. Now. We will tell them that the owner of the house was at our house when this happened. Hard storm befell this house and this happened.”
Baphuncumo: “I hope this doesn’t get to the press because it definitely sounds like a drama.”

KWENAMA
Sabina is the one who appeared and said I should follow her. We get to the white water and she instructs me to get inside. Saying that the water will purify me. I dive inside and go deep to the core. I am not drowning. I get to the bottom of the water and sit on one of the chairs. Few moments later, the guardians appear.

Guardian 1: “your journey has come to an end. You were the most loyal and obedient guardian of the curse ever. Your pure heart is what made you not succumb to black magic and end up using your powers for the worst. You were deprived your life and isolated from humanity for many years but now all that is over.”

Guardian 2: “you are free to live your life the way you want. You are free to love. You are free to so whatever you want. We thank you for your hard work and dedication. A new guardian of the curse will be chosen and it is not your responsibility but ours. We are sorry for your loss. We hope you heal and move on with your life. We wish you nothing but the best in life.”

Guardian 3: “all the new powers you discovered in the past few weeks will always stay with you. This is our gift to you. You are not entirely safe that’s why we want you to have a weapon to defend yourself with in cases of emergency. Kwenama Zukhanye Radebe, you are free of the curse. Walk away and never look back. The goddesses will always be there for you when you need them. Go now.”

I can literally feel the curse lift off my soul and my body. My body feels lighter and lighter. I can feel the pimples on my face fade away. My skins feels purer. I look at the guardians one more time and then swim up. I get out of the water and as soon as I look up, I see all the goddesses standing there. I stand straight and they all bow before me.

Goddesses: “YOUR MAJESTY!” I look at them.
Sapphire: “I would hug you but you’re human now and I don’t want you burning to ashes in my arms.” I chuckle and they all laugh.
Seruva: “you are very beautiful Your Majesty. You skin looks so soft and fragile.” I smile.
Me: “thank you.”

Gaea: “We are sorry about the human. If we could, we could go back in time and made sure she left the battlefield before things got messy.” I smile and shake my head.

Me: “it is not your fault. I must say I enjoyed the time we spent together and the relationship between me and each and every one of you. Please treat the next guardian with respect and help her with all that you helped me with and more. I love you all and goodbye.” They all bow once more.

Goddesses: “YOUR MAJESTY!”
