Amandla
We finished packing and I was ready for this as we drove to the airport. I was nervous all over and Buhle looked at me in the cab and gave me her hand for comfort.

Zweli
I walked to the library where my dad was and greeted him.
Dad: You look serious
Me: I want to talk to you about something.
Dad: And that is?
Me: Amani and I
Dad: What about you two?
Me: I know we are the crowned Prince and Princess and we are to help you guys in your duties so we learn how its done and take over when you retire but Ill like to run a suggestion
Dad: And that is?
Me: Can you give us a four year gap. We will move where ever that she gets accepted at so she studies the course of her choosing and ill continue with running of the business world as I have been and you and mom continue being king and Queen. We will help with our duties here and there but not a full load.
Dad looked at me.
Dad: is this what she wants?
Me: its what will make her feel better and at ease with things.
Dad: ill have to think about it.
Zwakhe popped up.
Zwakhe: think about what?
Dad: where ever you go, you take your brother.
Zwakhe: take me where?
Me: dad am a newly wed,i do not need my brother.
Zwakhe: all our rooms are sound proof but need me for what?
Me: regardless of that I cannot...
Dad: that the deal son. If you moving from home, you also going to ask for the minimum security right? So your brother goes with you
Zwakhe: not that am complaining about us moving kodwa we moving to where?
Me: Zwakhe!!!
Dad: son, as much you will like people to treat you as normal, but know that you are not normal. You my son and things for us are different.
Me: I know dad but I need time to explore what we have.
Zwakhe: Anyone care to tell me where am moving too? Oh i wanted to ask you bro, hows the sex?
I looked at my brother
Me:oh no
Zwakhe: you didn't say that in the bathroom
Me: You sneaky bastard
Zwakhe: You guys disappeared on us, so how was the Quickie?
Me: Am so not going to talk about my sex life with my father and brother.
Zwakhe: Why not? I know you gifted bro as I am. But are you using it properly.
Me: Bye dad and wena Zwakhe when are you getting a girl friend so you can be off my case for once!
I turned and left them laughing. I walked past mom office and found her and Amani talking.

Amani
I was listening to my mother in law sweet words of being a woman and her giving me advice when Zweli walked in smiling as he kissed my forehead and sat next to me.
Raya: You disturbing me with my daughter
Zweli: Oh is that it?
Raya: Yes.
Zweli: Well ill like to have my wife back. We still on honeymoon phase.
Raya: Where you taking her?
Zweli: It wouldn't be a surprise now.
Raya: Give us a few more minutes please.
He nodded and left.
Raya: You blushing.
I felt my cheeks heat up some more.She smiled looking at me.
Raya: You reminding me of my first time I couldn't keep my hands off they dads.
I looked at her and she laughed.
Me: Its feels all new and exciting
Raya: Am so happy you enjoying your marriage.
Me: I love him.
I clasped my hand over my mouth. That came out of nowhere and her mom started squealing and hugging me. She had tears in her eyes and looked at me wiping it.
Raya: That all Iv ever wanted for him. Someone to love him with his uniqueness. Thank you so Much for seeing my son worthy of your love.
Me: am scared that he has mines and I might not have his.
Raya: Oh baby. You are his heaven on earth. Don't you ever doubt that ever.
Me: I am
Raya: I wouldn't be sitting here with you if you were not.
I smiled at her.
Raya: Remember am your mom as much as am his mom. So if you need me anytime of the day or night call me and ill be there.
Me: Thank you ma
She smiled hugging me again.Her assistant walked in.
Zanela: You next appointment is here sisi
She nodded
Raya: Ill have to go now
Me: Thank you for the talk.
Raya: My pleasure. She walked out and I sat there for a second than walked out as I bumped to Zwakhe. He grabbed my hand and walked next to me in silence copying every move that Zweli might do when we are together. He walked me to the garden in silence.
Me: You know I know it is you Zwakhe?
He laughed jumping and looked at me.
Zwakhe: How did you know?
Me: My heart didn't skip a beat when you held my hand.

Zwakhe
I looked at her smiling, she really was the best thing to happen to my brother.
Me: Well, i shouldn't have held your hand and just walk next to you?
Amani: You don't smell like him too.
I looked behind her and saw the Luthando was ready with water guns and balloons. Shoot me for wanting to have some fun. Zweli walked  with lunwabo talking none stop and he stood next to Amani and before he could say anything i gave the sign and lunwabo jumped grabbing her water gun as I went for the water balloons....

Amani
I saw them moving and I felt my body vibrate abd before I knew it I had my hands out in a stopping sign and a whole clear bubble covered Zweli and I as the three of them tried attacking us at it hit on the barrier as the water splashed on it as if it was glass. I looked at my hands as the barrier was vibrating from it and everyone dropped everything looking at me shocked.
Zweli: Amani???
I dropped my hands as the barrier slowly disappeared. Everyone looked at me lost for words and next thing I feel on the ground suddenly weak as the darkness consumed me...
