Today is the day of my Lobola negotiations and i'm so happy but nervous . They've been negotiating for about 3 hours now and am starting to be nervous this things are suppose to take about 10 minutes. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Am with Una , Fulu ,Ori i couldn't bring my other cousin Vhukudo cause she is married but me Una and fulu will be the ones getting out.

"Una no drama today please". This whole weekend has been dramatic and it's Una's doing but i don't blame here cause if someone was to snatch Ndabe like that it would be ....i dont even know how to describe it but go tlo shuba mfan.

"There won't be i promise am tired of fighting them they aren't worth my time all i have to focus on is me and my baby also work".

"Am glad to hear that sis". I knew Una would leave this she has no time to fight over a boyfriend.

"Anyways why am i going out there wherelse i already have a baby". I was also asking myself the same thing.

"Umm...". Before i could say what i was about to say grandma entered the room.

"Let's go so they can identify". She says almost walking away. We stand up and ohh we are wearing munwenda we look fly. We exit and Una is infront our faces are covered with a blanket so they cant see us, we reach the room and we losha(bow) kneeling down with our heads facing the ground.

"You were saying ". I hope my uncle didn't charge them alot.

"My niece saw a beautiful flower in your garden ...". Before he could finish the sentence my uncle interfered.

"I was not asking for that i meant to say identify the bride not how you found the flower". Una is giggling i guess my family is naturally convinced with drama.

They removed the blanket over my head.

"Ele do you know this men". I nod. "Okay you may leave girls". We stand up and Una almost fell everyone laughed including her.

________________

Today was a long day Una didn't cause any drama like she said i'm actually happy about that cause Una could have given this nosy neighbours something bad to say about our family since our family 'cares about what people say about them'. My brothers look happy that I'm getting married maybe they are relived that am going to another family i won't be in their lifes. My brothers said this wealth belongs to my husband they don't know am rich and i did not bother to correct them, they must think what they think at the end of the day i have money.

Well we are now sitting at the bond deck the gang and my brothers are also here even Vhukudo and Thabang and Thabiso which i learned that they are Ndabe's cousins and they are sibilings. Ohhh ish i almost forgot even 'toothpick ' as Una calls her i don't know why she's here.

"Wait where is my son". Ahhh it's now she remembers.

"Una are you serious ". I ask her cause we just put him to sleep like 10 minutes ago.
"We took him to sleep don't you remember". She breathes out.

"Yoh i forgot i'm glad i can now drink cause i was pregnent nga nwana wa muthu ane a vha useless (i was pregnent with a useless man's child)". Me , Ndabe, Vhukudo and my brother are laughing some don't understand the joke cause they don't know venda.

"That i agree". Ndabe a true backstabber.

"The definition of a true backstabber haa Ndabe". I look at him shocked.

"What babe.... his the backstabber here even worse a cheater and i don't associate myslef with disloyal people". I look at Nkosiyabo and his head is hung low mara i understand imagine being told that by your brother.
