My Coloured Zulu Man

Chapter 1

Waylen

Am about to turn 30,am basically about to die or say leave this world. Nowadays I spend my days just drinking my sorrows away. I mean my younger brothers have found their wife's,yet I haven't found mine. What day is it today? I don't know,to me everyday is everyday. You know they say "Indonda ay'khali" but now crying has become my addiction,why am I crying again?...well lady's and gentlemen am about to die. It scares me that I'll never be human again after my birthday which is in the next few days.  The vibration under my pillow shakes me awake, disturbing me from my dreams of which I can't remember. I reach out for it it's my father he probably wants to give me the morning lectures" live your life to the fullest I know it's your last days on earth but be happy" as he always says.." sometimes they are a bit helpful but today no it's not a good day to give me a lecture I have so many life problems,the biggest problem right now is this hangover am having but I answer anyway "Son come to the office you have to see something I have a feeling I found her.." he drops it just like that,gosh he didn't even greet what if I was dying..  I try process what he said ' i have a feeling I found her' who is her it rings my mind that it might be her but how I mean I've waited for so long for 'her' to save me. Why do I drink again? now I can't stand hangover!! After 2 hours of dressing up and clearing my room I drive to the office. Now people are giving me the ' where have you been' look,I don't even greet my sweet receptionist...you see she's the sweetest person in this building..am a bit guilty though. I move to my father's office,great he's in a meeting. You see when am in the office I try to be as normal as possible. I go out to the boardroom on my way to the boardroom I feel some type of way I feel it rise, i feel my insides move and it can only mean one thing,that or the other,but then I disregard the feeling . I convey to the boardroom only to be met by new faces and my dad and cousin"these are the new Chartered accountants...and this is Mr DaVillas our CEO to be" my father doesn't get it I see "Goodmorning everyone and sorry,please excuse me" I say heading for the door " sit your ass down you don't want to be disrespect in front of you guest, do you?" okay it's fine I sit. They talk and talk while am busy with own stuff thinking about my whiskey that needs to be quaffed ' i need to finish that whiskey I saw at my father's office' I make a mental note
Something in me tells me to stand my heart starts beating fast,my father looks at me,he felt it too our worlds where shaken a bit,he whispers"calm down I told you she's..." just as he was talking the door opens..... I've waited for almost ten years for this to happen I've always imagined this moment how it would be but never did I thought I could be in the office. She was still looking down but I could see her beauty she is a goddess"it's her" I say to my father"since you decide to take your sweet precious time to come to this meeting go make me coffee" Smith shouts "no she won't make you coffee just because she's late it doesn't mean she's you servant" I find myself yelling at Smith. I communicate with him in our world ' it's her' he smiles.
I must be dreaming or something well no more drinking. Now I must court her how though, will she accept me as I am people am not normal. After an hour Finally this meeting is adjourned,but to me it felt like five minutes I mean I've been staring at her ever since "follow her" pops winks at me. I just wants to hold her tight but first I should reap that thing of hers apart. Looking at her perfect banging body I just want to devour her immediately. I run to the office I take pops lunch bag and rush to her office only to find her eating. Have y'all ever been in love such that everything your significant other does just screams perfection...wait did I say inlove am I inlove?...she tries to speak but I cut her "I am Waylen Nkos'ngiphile DaVillas"I enunciate "am Amahle Tiasmara Dlamini" her voice is simply impeccable "Am sorry about what my brother said back there..."she cuts me"it's fine" she states "no it's not,he wasn't suppose to shout though,sorry" she smile I grins,like a retard.
Well I am Waylan Nkos'ngiphile DaVillas my father has Accounting firms around South Africa and other businesses well as the heir of this family I have to be the CEO of this office. Well this office its more of a headquarters my cousin Smith the one that yelled at my girl he's our COO
My other siblings look over  the other offices
Rawan is 27 married and happy with 2 kids Chris and Katherine
Martin is 25 married and happy expecting their child
Then there's me single and miserable
We take out sits we dig in and eat in silence with my Tia you can even hear a needle drop, I've figured she's an overthinker, she was thinking about so many things like "why is he even here" girl cause I like you,actually love you and I  could hear it "I was raised in KwaZulu Natal that's why I have a Zulu name kanti futhi ngiyasazi nesiZulu" I replied to her thoughts" oh okay" I see she's shy but it's cute. "I'll see you around miss" she smiles I take my leave.
"Since now that you won't die I'll host a party Friday and you my son, you'll takeover the business...I trust you in this please don't disappoint us in becoming the next CEO"...he departs
My Father is a straight talker,my PA enters "Sir Mr DaVillas is about to make an announcement you are requested to go outside.
"Goodday Lady's and Gentlemen it's Mr DaVillas here and I'll like invite everyone to a party well it's a formal one,on this coming Friday please pass by the reception and get an invitation thank you have a good day" people starts chit-chatting after a few minutes it's back to work I saw Tia standing a bit far from me,how sad I couldn't even wave at her,she went to her office straight after the proclamation. I followed her,only to find her packing her bags I wanted to say something but it's like am tongue locked. I just look at her at this point I can't even hide the excitement I giggle...she must be thinking am crazy
She didn't say a thing she walked past me and walks aways. A whole embarrassment. Should I follow her to her house too?....maybe,but it's a bit creepy. I guess I'll see tomorrow hopefully she comes. I'll go crazy if she doesn't,I'll make her mine very soon.
