I got down the stairs for breakfast and Sizani amd Senzo was home today. Sizani was a local teacher at the local school but had her own beautiful house a few minutes away from the palace. Senzo on the other hand was in business with my father doing lord what while I was just a matriculant and iv j
Dad: You look good
Mom: that what happens when you get 8 distinctions
I smiled at my doting mother who has been nothing but my rock.
Senzo: Have you applied somewhere
Senzo knows iv applied somewhere and he knows how iv been dragging talking about this to my parents.
Me: Yes I have
Mom: why? We have a university here
Me: I know
Mom: than?
Me: Ill like to leave the nest a bit
Mom: Am confused.
My baby sister walked down the stairs and I kisses her cheek like how i do everyday and my 6 year old sister got on my lap and looked around. She adored me to the moon and back and loved every bit of me.
Dad: and where you applied.
Me: I applied in Harvard
Mom: what you mean Harvard?
Me: University of Harvard
Dad: America Harvard or some college here
Me: America Harvard.
They both looked at me as the room was silent.
Mom: Why?
Dad: You the next king. In 3years time ill be crowning you the next king. All iv worked for and what your mother and your grandparents worked for is yours.
Me: I know
Mom: Than why are you leaving?
Me: Its just a 2 years business course which will help with my leading skills and also open my mind to be a little business minded to manage everything that you worked hard for plus you have been grooming me to be king all my life. A 2 year gap is nothing.
Sizani: Mama you always say you want what beat for us and I agree with Siya.
Trust Sizani to always back me up.
Me: You can visit all the time
Mom: And your gifts?
Me: What about them?
Mom: Honey!!!
Me: I control my powers mom. I know what triggers them and am pretty sure ill manage.
Mom: Without us?
Dad: Kalechi!!!
The whole room was silent as he looked at her and she looked at him and somehow a message was passed through they eye contact and she got up and left.
Dad: I understand you son and you know ill always support you. Now let me go cheek on her. He got up after ruffling my hair. The love my parents have for each other is something I want someday. The way they communicate and always have each other back is remarkable.
Senzo: that went well
Me: Thanks for helping me breach the topic
Sizani: That what we here for
Me: Thank you
Sizani: Ill let you know when i need the favour back. I smiled and we ate while making small conversation.

I read the letter a million times and screamed my lungs out just as my uncle opened the door.
Malume: Yini wena(what your problem?)
Me: Lutho( nothing)
Malume: Manje? ( the noise?)
Me: Ngiyaxolisa( sorry)
Malume: Awusiyeke ngomsindo wena.( don't irritate us with your noise)
He closed the door and I punched the air.
Here is my situation. Its pretty awful here at home. My mother gave birth to me and left me here with her family and things have been hard. Iv put myself through school. I have no idea who my father is but my uncle always says its might be some white old man given that am coloured. Half black and white. My uncles and aunt only provides me with food other than that umazibonele. At least iv been saving for my plan ticked and with that out of the way and a full scholarship ill leave and they wont even notice that am gone.
My Name is Raya and this is my story of how life turned for the better or so I thought!!!!....
