Elelwani, your destiny awaits

Mthunzi's party

Today is my 31st birthday party I've not been celebrating my birthdays for the past year's so my family and friends decided to do something for me . Don is now 5 year's and he is just a spilt image of Nkosiyabo, Don is obsessed with his mother he always asks about his mom , Nkosiyabo decided to move on so he is married to Nompumelelo he had to go fix things with her. The way Don loves his mom he never called anyone mom except Una . Don's room is filled of pictures of Una with him or pictures of just Una.

Lindo and siphe married about 6 months ago it was a double wedding . Noma and Nkunzi married about 2 and a half years ago. Well Noma's children are troublesome they'll never come to my house shem. Kamo and Sipho are waiting for Una to come back so that they can do their white wedding finding out they were married traditionally even Qhawe is married he married about 1 year ago.

Dom's baby mama ran away last year and Dom looks miserable, but his still part of us . Ele and Ndabe have 1 child named Unethemba Zulu and yess she does not have a middle name . Nkosiyabo has a 3 year old girl named Thingolwami Zulu unfortunately girl's in our family are not suppose to have middle names. Kamo has a daughter who is 2 years and she's now about 5 months pregnant, well Sipho is the happiest man in the universe. Eveyone is happy where else I'm just a miserable man waiting for my love . I haven't forgotten about her actually i live for Una . I always go to a traditional healer once a month to know if she is still alive or not.

"It's time for our birthday boy to do his speech". I'm taken aback from my thoughts, meaning the speeches are over. I didn't even hear none of them. I stand up and go to the mic.

"Afternoon friends, family and colleagues. So far today has been a wonderful day, but not as I've imagined years ago. I had plans guys, my plans was to get married when i am about 28 but life happened I'm only inlove with one woman and no one can replace her even my own mother can never do that. I don't want to talk for a long time cause i know i will eventually start talking about her. I wanna say thank you everyone for attending this party with your busy schedules. I appreciate the birthday present but i think I'm to grow for them...".

"You forgot your last present that even of infant and elderly age you'll always deserve and it'll always be yours". There goes the voice that I've yearned for years to come back to me.

"Una?". I question looking at her , she's right infront of me. I see my whole family coming to hug her including my parents, Elelwani, Kamo, Sipho, Siphe,Qhawe, Ndabe,Lindo, Noma, Nkunzi and all of em. I feel tears run down my face i cover my face with my hands.

After a few minutes i feel those hands that i wanted them to hold me ever since. "I'm here now baby". I tightly hug her kissing her bob hair.

"Wait here I'm coming now". I kiss her cheek and run inside the house i go to my room and open the safe taking the box . I head back and see Ndabe and Ele talking to her. "Get of here ". I chase them pushing their backs with them laughing. "Take a video". I whisper to them.

"Moss we have photographers and videographers here". Ele comments.

"Ohh". I get back to where Una is standing.

"I'm sorry babe I've seen how you were these past years I'm sorry i couldn't...". I stop her.

"I don't care about that atleast your here now no need to look back but we'll do someday not now ". She nodds. I look at her.

"Aww aww aww isfiso senhliziyo yam, ukushaya kwenhliziyo yam, uma ngukubona nigiba nekhanda phezu kwakho , yoh Masingo , okhetheiweyo wami, owesifazane omuhle, owesifazane ozimele, owesifazane onesfiso sokuvelela, owesifazane onolaka, owesifazane unamandla, umfazi wenhliziyo yami, inhliziyo yami ayifuni umuntu ngaphambawe kwakho, uma ungiqabula ngizwa sengathi ngiyantanta, ngifuna upahte konke izingane zami usukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni, ngifuna ukube nowesifazane owenza umuzi wami ukuthi ukube ikaya, ngifuna ukulala ngi vuke eduze kwakho, ungangedza indoda emadodeni ngokungedza indoda yakho". Una is crying and smilling this is how i want to see her everyday. I go on one knee and take out my ring box. I open the diamond ring which is filled with diamonds everywhere.
