Mom: baby, please give us a moment.
Me: ma
Woman: She has to know.
Mom: Ill decide when does my daughter need to know.
Woman: I gave you 21 years
Mom: she is just a child!!!
Woman: She is 21 years old and has her own life!!!
Mom: She is my child and I know what best for my child!
There was silence as i looked at them and my father was silent looking directly at me and I looked right at him and I saw he had tears in his eyes.
Me: dad..... mom
Mom: Have a sit baby, we need to talk.
I moved to the couch and looked at the 3 of them.
Mom: Am sorry we never shared this with you, its just that we thought we can protect you from it for a long time until you old enough.
Me: Is this why iv never left the farms walls or ever went to school. Had home schooling?
Dad: Yes. We thought we were protecting you.
Mom: and did all that we could to offer you a life that we thought best suited you
Me: Mom... dad... can you two calm down please and start from the beginning.
Mom: You have a purpose in life and were born for that purpose
Me: and my purpose is?
Woman: To be the Queen of Kwantabazinhle.
Me: Where on earth is that?
Mom: You are the Queen yakwa Zulu!
That took me back a bit and I looked at them confused.
Me: Am sorry, am not understanding.
Woman: when your mom was looking for a child and she was having difficulties having one, i was given a task to find a wife for a prince that was born with special gift. I was stressed and was suppose to find someone with a pure heart but I couldn't. When I meet your mother and your father I knew they were perfect for this task so I told them Ill help them as long as they know your that you are special child. I gave her a potion that helped in pregnancy and also that anointed you as the woman who will be the next Queen of kwantabazinhle.
Me: Does this explain my hair?
Woman: what wrong with your hair?
I removed my headwrap and I watched as tears sprang to her eyes and she smiled.
Woman: You truly are the chosen one. I saw it the minute I saw your deep blue eyes that it worked.
Me: Why now? Why 21 years later?
Woman: I cannot answer that but my spiritual guides asked me to look for you.
Me: And then what?
Woman: I go back home and let the king and his family know that its time.
Me: Time for?
Woman: The future Queen to come home.
Me: You said you let the king know. If the kingdom already has it rightful king what the purpose of having me?
Woman: The king can only rule the kingdom with you
Me: oh
Woman: Or else the kingdom suffers.
Me: Oh
There was silence that a lot to take in. First i learn am chosen then I hear am Queen to a kingdom iv never heard of till today... Is this all or there is more than what she is telling. What gifts does the so called king have? Why does it have to be me?
Me: So what now?
Woman: I go back home and let the royal family know about you.
Mom: Does this mean she will have to move?
Woman: Yes
Dad: she our daughter.
Woman: Who is just about to be married to the Royal family.
Me: Wooooah hold up. Marriage? Am just 21. No one said anything about marrying anybody!!!
Everyone looked at me as I was now standing looking at them with fear in my eyes.
