Turning Table

*** The Engagement****

🌹Liyana 🌹

The drive... to the plane ride.. to us walking inside the house Ntsika is on his phone the whole time, he is speaking to his mother, his PA, to his handler the royal PR, ... He took my phone and walked to his study, all I could hear is him swearing and placing orders, I wish he can evolve me in this because this is also my life but to be honest I know nothing of his world.

I bite my lip and walk to our bedroom, I'm stressed and anticipation is killing me, at this point I'm in the dark I have no clue or whatsoever what my mother said, where she said to whom she said it too? I held my face in frustration and decided to strip down and take a long bath, I stepped out of the bathtub when the water was getting cold,

I walked out wrapping a towel over my body but froze as I saw maChiya, holding a tray of food,  Didi was busy with some dresses on the bed and some on the rail and to my amazement, the ever-gorgeous Queen Sibahle Mngunu, was there looking at my picture that was on the vanity table.

" Well don't just stand there come give us a hug "
Didi said with her forever bubbly smile,
I walked towards her and hugged her
I looked at Sbahle and she smiled
Her: Sawbona Liyana "
Me: uuum...Que..."
Her: please don't even try calling me Queen in this house,  my mother is Queen and me I'm just Sbahle "
I smiled, she did the in expected and hugged me,

Her: welcome to the family, Ntsika has told me so much about you "
Me: ooh wow I hope good things only "
Didi: girl you are miss-perfect in our brother's eyes"
I laughed,
Ma-Chiya: Miss Liya welcome home, I prepared sneaks, is there anything you wish I also get you?"
Me:No ma, thank you "
I said smiling at her as she walked out,

Didi: so choma I see you glowing and have that Queen look "
Sbahle:you can say that again Didi, she is so gorgeous in real life the pictures don't match what I am looking at now"
Me: stop it! guys"
I said blushing and looking away,  I started looking at the dresses on the rails and the bed

Me:so many new dresses what's up? "
Sbahle: dinner with your future mother in law "
Me: what?"All the emotions I have  felt in my life are all put together in a little mixing-pot and not even allowed to boil over when I was told I have to meet Ntsika mother in just an hour,
Anxiety attacks me like a piranha. I suddenly become sweaty with bouts of clumsiness. I'm not ready for this especially when I am dealing with so much, the pregnancy, and my toxic family scandal I'm scared beyond my wits.
I breathe out loud but keeping my cool seems like a Herculean task. Why didn't Ntsika give me a heads up at least?

Didi: you can't hide forever boo, one way or the other you need to take your position "
Me: I'm not ready... I mean the last time I meet her we..."
Sbahle: that was then Liya trust me this time around it will be perfect my mother is the most loving soul I ever know, stop stressing '
Didi: stop feeding her bullshit, Liya is after all the girl that will take her throne don't act as if that was easy when for you married Mnguni "
Sbahle: ooh lord Didi why are always so blunt "

Me: what?"
Sbahle: look at me babe, don't pay any attention to her"
Didi: listen here Leya Royalty is just bling on the outside and charcoal on the inside... it even worst now with you trending before the official meet and greet with my Aunt now the demons of this family have been are resurrected "
Me: Wow! and I'm guessing that is the reason you are here"

Sbahle breath out loud,
Sbahle: I made it here to prevent this from happening...but don't worry Ntsika can deal with the media "
Didi: oob geese Sbahle just pull the plaster and let the wound burn "
She said pouring wine, Sbahle sigh and held my hand

Sbahle: I'm not going to run behind the bush Liya our family is narrow-minded..."
Didi:have you ever heard that  Intelligence arouses fear and respect, the lack of it keeps one on the narrow-minded road of disrespect, stupidity, and inferiority complex. That is the Bhengu's in the nutshell!"
Me:ooh lord "
I sat down on the bed
