Amani
I looked at mom and dad and no one was speaking they were all breathing fire. I got out of the door and ran as fast as I could to my place of peace. I sat by the rock and kept quiet for sone time until i felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to find Zweli standing there all I could do was throw myself on him and cry. Am not sure why I was crying but my emotions were all over as I cried.

Zweli
I knew she would come here to think things through and finding her here calmed my anxious self but now that she crying her eye balls out and am not sure why is scary. I held her tight without saying anything. Here the funny part when I touch or hug a person. I can hear they thoughts on that moment. I can feel they emotions and right now all am getting from her is her emotions but not hearing her thoughts. I guess she has the ability to shut me out like my brother. I hugged her until she was calmer and I moved to see her and I say her right side had what looked like fingers. I touched her cheek.
Me: Talk to me
A fresh tear rolled down.
Me: I know your father would never do this to you.
Amani: Its mom
Me: Why?
Amani: she doesn't approve of you and wants dad to continue with The Gwala family and She has something against dad and my father won't even look at me now.  I held her tighter and lift up her face.
Me: you got to trust me... Am going to marry you come high or low you are going to be mine.
Amani: I just don't know.
Me: close your eyes
She looked at me confused.
Me: Trust me.
She closed her eyes.
Me: Dont open them until I tell you too okay.
I held her tight shielding her and teleported to the Whalebone pier at Umhlanga. I picked her up and walked to the rocks and asked her to open her eyes and she stood there grinning looking at the waves. Fresh tears came to mind as we stood there. I in a suit. Yeah a suit at the beach with her in her takkies and leggings and top. We sat there with her leaning half on me. I loved how she was trusting me...
