CHAPTER 1

PHILASANDE GUMEDE

Remember when my sister-in-law said it was my story to tell,well...it's about that time. I'm not proud of my old self and the sins I've committed but I'm telling you now;I'm proud of the man I've become.

I've just gotten out of the military, Iraq is where I've been.
I've just landed at uShaka airport,I'm on my way to kwaTugela because my father said that they've prepared a whole welcoming and cleansing ceremony for me because my Ancestors have forgiven me,says the royal seer,I'm honestly grateful.
I wish my brothers and sister as well as their wives are also there,they not obligated to be there but I wish they are.

As I approach the parking lot I see uBaba Mzimela ,my long time royal chauffeur.
The reality just sunk in ...I'm home , I've come back a stronger and remorseful man.
But before reaching uBaba Mzimela I see her in a Emirates airliners uniform,in bedroom shoes,she looks tired,she's so beautiful,her hair is blown into her face by the breeze,she unlocks her BMW x4,packs her suit case in and before she enters her drivers seat ,I quickly run to her and oh my goodness!her eyes are green but change with the sun,they turn a bit honey gold, engathi yi'coloured but she looks foreign too.

"Sawubona ntokazi,nxese ukuba yi'scefe ,you just so captivating."I say looking into her eyes.
She gives me a side smile,a tired side smile.
"Please let go of my arm ,you holding on a bit too tight sir."
She's so kind with her words any other woman would've freaked out by now,I slowly let go.
"I'm sorry,Philasande Gumede,you are?" At this point I've forgotten about uBaba Mzimela and the long journey kwaTugela
"Mabalwa Vilakazi"she says.
Weird because doesn't look South African, beautiful name though.
"Can I call you later MaVilakazi,soon to be Gumede?"I'm surprised she hasn't recognized me but I'm glad,I've never really been part of the publicity of my family.
"And if I say no?"
"I'd hunt you down..." I said with my own side smile.
"Stalker vibes but sure I'll give you my number,I'm tired,I need to get going."
I give her my cellphone and she types in her number and saves it as 'Mabalwa'
"Thank you,you can go in your beastly car now"I say teasingly.
"Pshhht bye."she lets out a tiny laugh ,wow she's so reserved,I wonder how she does the whole flight attendant thing.

This is my story & I am Philasande Zacharia Gumede,my past does not define the man that I am.
