Nkosenye
We are here sitting waiting for lwa to wake up. Honestly I'm panicking. Her mother seems more worried or is it because she's her mother, you know maternal instinct and shit.
Bab Ngema got his herbs and he blew some of it on her nose. She sneezed and slowly opened her eyes. I quickly got to her and helped her up. She's going to be the mother of my child afterall I need to make sure she's always fine and all.
All the adults were looking at us right now. I searched around for mom and I saw her coming towards us with a glass of water. The look in her eyes wasn't the warm one she always has on her face. She was a bit indifferent.
"We have to leave now." Bab Ngema said looking at lwa. I don't know if it's me or he looked as if he wanted her to say something.
I tried pulling her towards me but she remained stiff. She sniffed and I got alarmed.
"Lwa are you ok?" I asked her but she bowed her head. Her mother went to her and kind of shielded her. Ok..?
"As you can see my child is not ok let's just postpone this thing of yours." She says with a bit of attitude.
"Ok me sorry this has to be done today, it's already late." Bab Ngema said looking at her mother.
" I said-"
"No mah it's fine I'll-"
"Shut it... we're done here you're the mother of their grandchild your health is more important."
"What are you so afraid of"dad asked knowing my father he suspects something and the eye bab ngema is giving them is not helping.
"Me ? afraid of who? You?" Mrs jili asks. This woman's disrespect knows no limit.
"Then the ceremony is happening for the sake of the child."
"Asoze, phi? Ngumntanam Lo she'll not do something I don't want her to do and that's final." She says and she tries to drag a motionless lwanele.
"Mah let me do it" lwa says.
"Uphambene? Huh mntana ndini soze uyandiva. SOZE!"
"Lwa are you carrying a Dlamini." My grandmother asks calmly.
Lwa's mother clicks her tongue. I look At lwa she doesn't hold eye contact she looks down and nods slowly.
"Then you have no choice but to do the ceremony for your sake and that of the child." Bab ngema says and she lets out a loud scream.
"Ntombazana ngenzele izinto zibelula lengane oythwele eyaNkosi or what?" That's my uncle sthe he's been quiet all along and knowing him, he's not so patient. Lwa looks at her mother and just as she was about to say something another boy comes in follows by my grandfather's right hand man.
"Dlamini I found him." He says looking at this boy lovingly and proud. I guess this is the son he lost years ago because of his wife's carelessness.
Lwa looks like she's going to faint any moment.
"Lwanele ufunan lah."
"What is this Gardner doing here?" Mrs jili asks fuming.
"That's none of your business. Girl do you want to do the ceremony or not, if not the child you're carrying is in great danger." My grandad says. And we all know it's final.
"I'll ..."
"Wait Lwanele you didn't tell me you're pregnant, Is it my child? Are you carrying my child Jess" The guy ask. What the fuck? I move away from her and look at her.
" Lwanele who's child are carrying??"
I ask as calmly as I can."No Nkosenye don't ask such questions. Of course why would she carry his child the child is yours."
"Lwanele who's child is it?" My grandpa's friend asks
" just stop asking my child those stupid questions. The child is a Dlamini heir and is to inherit the dlamini fortune and will bind us together. Forever!!"
I seriously can not believe it. I don't know if I should cut her head of or to unleash my beast on her because trust me I can. The child is not mine. It finally hits me.
How defensive her mother is, her not wanting to do the ceremony.I look at her. My blood is boiling. I can hear them arguing but I'm just looking at this girl. I can't help but feel angry my hands are shaking.
I look at her, she's crying. I don't know how I got to her but I grabbed that neck, I raise her by her neck.Her eye balls pop out. As she tries fighting me to let her go. I can't. This is how I get when I'm angry.
The parents try to get me off of her but they can't because I'm not operating with human strength.
"YOU LIED TO ME, I KNOW I'M NOT THE FATHER!!!!"
Before I could see her life flash out of her I passed out...
NOTE
I'm struggling with a bad writers block. I can't believe it took me this much time to finish this chapter. I know it's not enough.
I'm truly sorry for not updating. I guess wanting for it to be perfect resulted in a block!!
