[Cici]I was so tired but I had to keep pushing , rehearsal have became so intense since we going on promotional tour in few weeks time, I was excited but very nervous , the review im getting from home are good but I’m not sure on other province if they will like us or not , I pray that all goes well so that we can do the live recording... wow who knew Siswati the Gospel singer I laughed at myself as I knocked on door
“ hay you late! “
She said dramatically with her hands on her waist
Me : “ sorry Anti Ntombi , rehearsal was hectic today , Nkonzo made us repeat one song for an hour to make it sound perfect “ I exclaimed as I made my way inside
Anti : he is such a perfectionist, so tell me more how are things going ? “
I smiled at her as I made my way to the high clears in the kitchen , Aunty Ntombi has always treated me like family she always showed me this worm side of her , and every time when we meet we talk for hours , she is just a mother figure in my life somehow I wish I had this relationship with her a while ago , if only I knew.
Me : “ very exciting , yazi to think about it I never thought that I can sing , I always saw my voice as a bathroom voice , you know singing in shower and going off key “
She smiled at me
Her : you voice is angelical , yazi I’m glad that you singing Gospel because you touch lot of souls with it, you truly have a remarkable gift“
Me : “ thank you “ I smiled while she place a plate full of food in front of me , as if she read my mind I was so hungry I did not hesitate to dig in
Me : “ have you spoken to Zoe ? how are things between you two? “
She sigh and place the dish cloth on the counter
Her : “ we talk , but it's just not the same anymore she blames me for everything she may apologize for the way she spoke to me but I know she still blames me , if only I was not self centered I should have done something sooner “
Me : “ you can not blame yourself Anti , you know something I realized about life is that we have to go through wire and gravels in order to walk on smooth road , life is very bumpy and lessons are learned overtime we fall to make us better person , Zoe had to go through that to be the best person... God never gives us a loud we can not handle it was meant to be like this ... mission now is making better and moving past it“
She looked at me with a wow look “ when did you become such a believer and motivational speaker? “
I laughed
“ I spend too much time at church that why , and my faith has grown a lot thanks to you “
Her : “ I’m so proud of you baby ,” we smiled while I rinsed down my food with juice “ so nihamba nini ? “
Me : “ first week next month , by December we want to at least have recorded and made few dvd’s “
She looked down
” Zweli ? “ she askedI took my empty plate to the sink
“ we haven’t spoken in while now , I don’t even Know how he will take the news , already he thinks that I’m bitching around with Nkonzo and he just ... “
Her : “ NO Cici , how long are you going to live this life ? “
Me : “ it's complicated Anti ... and please don’t give me lecture i'm fully aware that I need to leave I just need to gain enough straight to walk away “
She did not say a word but embraced me in hug

[Zoe ]“ I can get used to this mmmmmh ... being in this place , the pampering , breakfast in bed wow if it feels this good to be royalty , oh help me lord get me a royal husband please !!!“
Pam : “ yeyiwena if Langa hears you saying that you never leaving the house with out him ever ! “
We laughed , its so true Langa just has clingy tendencies at times ,
we in the Royal palace , Pam thought it will do me good to leave town a bit and yep I was feeling it , it's only been two days here and no sign of Trey, his calling thing got him locked up in sum cave , which was a bummer because he was suppose to have a finished his trial a day ago and we thought he would have made it back by now
Austin : “ I need a massage and a glass of wine Trey is driving me crazy “
He threw himself next to us we had a nice lay out in garden that was overlooking the beautiful mountains yooo the scenery in this place is breathtaking
Pam : “ I can offer you wine but no rubbing your white ass "
He handed him a glass of wine
Me : “ so how is he ? “
Well Austin was the only source of communication between Trey and real world , he is his personal assistance and he the only person that can enter the caves as a white man I thought he will freak out and bail out because they do not believe in this spiritual world namadlozi stuff , but he took his role hands on and held the bull by the horns ,
Him : “ he has gained weight , I don’t know how since he never eat the food I sent to him , he has beard and look like a caveman , he is grumpy as hell and today he did not even want to see me , so imagine driving to the mountains , walking for miles with food basket and clean cloths and he just shut me out like really bro “
Me : “ what ? “ I looked at him
Gogo : “ aish I hope my baby is ready for the challenges ahead “
She walked slowly and set on one of the benches with her forever graceful self , this women is aging like fine wine
Pam : “ koko , my brother has been in the caves for months now is this even normal ? “
Koko : it his calling my dear, what must I do worry about something I have no control over... I just hope his stronger than this ... once he come out of there he will be total different person , “
Pam : “ but koko you said he should be back by now ... kanki kwenzakalani ... ? “
Me : maybe the lion got hungry and ate him “
Austin : Lion are least of my worries , I found him playing with lightning and wind ... I dropped everything and ran ...
“we laughed at him , his facial expression was just outrageous
Me : “ you see that just witchcraft right there “
They turned and looked at me I raised my hands to surrender , my phone buzzed ow tank god saved by the bell , I left them there still arguing , and trying to bite my head off
Me : “ hello handsome “
Langa : “ I miss you maDlamini , the house is lonely with out you “
Me : “ miss you too babe , but your know I need this ... “
Him : “ I know ... I know , so cave boy is he back ? “
Me : “ not yet its been two day straight I don’t know what causing the hold up”
Him : “ maybe the lion ate him “
I laughed so hard “ I think so too hay “
Talking to Langa has always placed a smile on my face we may be miles away but we always click , he could not come with us because of work and i needed to be here for Trey today is his revile day and there is so much hype in this house , pam is so nervures she can actually pee herself now
