You, me and I

Insert 12

Siya
I looked at her and she was scared.
Me: Okay. Want to tell me why?
Raya: It wasn't a good place for me anymore so I applied for that program and ran when I had to go study and never looked back. I don't know how the situation at home is like and how they will receive the request.
Me: the only way we will ever know is if we send my people to go there first in the morning and we will find out.
She nodded but I could see she was scared. I brought her closer to me and kissed her forehead.
Me: Remember I said trust me
She nodded
Me: well I got you. Nothing they say will change what I see in you
She looked at me and I kissed he flat on her lips.
Me: let go before dad comes back
She blushed and we walked in the room to everyone laughing and talking. And I noticed she was silent most of the time. I guess talking about home freaked her out.

My brother came in the kitchen calling out my name.
Me: What is it?
Simphiwe: 3 men are outside calling out our clan names.
Me: let them in.
He did and they told us they here to deliver a note. They were stylish in they suits and looked very clean.
When they left I ran to the lounge took the note with all my siblings looking at me and I read the letter and my knees gave up as I sat down.
Simphiwe: Sisi
Me: Its Raya
Simphiwe: Is she dead?
Me: She is alive and is getting married.
The room was silent as everyone looked at me in shock. Simphiwe grabbed the letter and read it.
Simphiwe: To Royalty?? How???
We were all shocked as we looked at each other confused.

Raya
I woke up to a smell of fresh coffee and chocolate muffins and I stretched.
Siya: Morning sunshine
Me: morning
I looked at him he was all dressed up in a suit and I was naked in bed.
Me: You dressed for an occasion
Siya: Am meeting with the councillors of the kingdom to let them know about you since the letter was safely delivered at your home.
That caught me off guard and I looked at him. He sat down on the bed and I looked at him.

Siya
Me: I know your family is a big worry to you but this is how things are done here and we have to do them. Nothing they do will stop this from happening. You are mine remember.
She blushed and looked at me with the most sexiest eyes ever and I swear I felt my penis twitch.
Me: You going to make me late
Raya: I didn't say anything
She grinned and I found myself pinning her to the bed with me struggling to get my pants off.

Raya
The sex was beyond this world. He always gets me and always reach my G spot. I was in the shower bathing after that eventful morning. I got out of the shower got dressed in my grey track suits and did my hair a bun. I zipped up my jersey to its collar hiding the love bites and cleaned up the room than sat on the couch and took out my phone. I took a deep breath and called my Aunt Thobile. It rang a few times.
Thobile: yah
Me: Hi
There was silence.

Sbongile
My sister ran to my room and signalled for me to be silent as she placed the phone on loud speaker.

Raya
Me: Its Raya
Thobile: Unjani
Me: Am okay nina?
Thobile:akfani. We got the letter from the royals
Me: i heard. Will umalume be willing to help with that?
Thobile: yes, but you need to come home
Me: I will
Thobile: when? Its going to be a year now since we have seen you, we didn't even know if you lived or were dead.
Me: Am alive
Thobile: you need to come home. There is someone here dying to see you, meet you and she has been worried sick about you.
Me: Ill call and let you know when am coming by. If umalume agrees to represent me please call the number there. Bye
I hang up before she could even answer and took a deep breath and walked out of the room leaving my phone on the bed.

Siyanqoba
Dad: You ready?
Me: Yes.
We got in the room of all my elders talking and the minute we got in everyone was silent and waited for dad to address them and he did.
Dad: Am pleased to say my son has found his match and earlier today he has sent a request letter to the girls family in Cape Town.
Elder: Is she the chosen one
Me: Yes.
Elder: How do you know?
I removed my jacket and shirt and turned my back showing my visible markers for everyone to see.
Me: mama Jade will explain what iv shown you
Mama Jade: Those are markings that unlocks all his powers. He only gets that when he has meet his chosen one and consummated his union. As you all know Siyanqoba is different than his dad and mom. His more powerful. He controls the elements of earth and nature. He can change into any animal he needs to be, can run as fast as he wishes, can see the unseen and can be anywhere he wants to be by a click of his fingers. He is a supernatural but in order for him to be in touch with his human side he needs his chosen one by his side to keep him as humanly sane as possible and that girl is the match for him. All am saying is that Kwantabazinhle is about to bloom more with the new Queen coming here. Iv seen a great bright future. Lots of trails and tribulations but they over come them.
After that everyone spoke at one but they all gave they blessings and I was relieved. Dad hugged me and smiled.
Dad: Welcome to manhood
I smiled as the topic moved on to something else.

Sbongile
I looked at my sister.
Me: What did you guys do to her?
Thobile: I did what I could in raising your child, you left me with her on top of the 8 kids I had and mom was dying.
Me: You know I had to leave
Thobile: Had too?
She looked at me.
Thobile: Raya hates us. And she hates you more than us. Yes I could have done better and gave her a little bit of love but I had 3 jobs. My main concern was that she eats that all.
I looked at her.
Me: i sent money every month though
Thobile: To who? I never saw a cent.
I looked at my sister and what she was saying and took a deep breath.
Me: Now what?
Thobile: Ill be frank with you. Your daughter never fit in this family. She is way smarter than all 16 of us combined. She knows what she wants and knows where she going. The least you could do is let her be. Allow these people to pay up and let her go. Trust me its the best gift that you and my brother could ever give her. Let her go!!!
Me: I can't
Thobile: you saying that is being selfish. You cannot come back 20 years later and think...
There was a knock on the door and we look up and it was Steven. Thobile laughed and looked at me.
Thobile: So her father is white?
Me: I can explain
She got up and looked at both of us.
Thobile: no need to explain yourself to me.
She looked at Steven and walked out and he looked at me confused. As I told him everything that happened this morning....
