Silent Pain : Landokuhle's Story

Chapter 26

#26 - Surprise!!

Kabelo : "Baby girl , come."  He said switching off the cartoons Nonto was focused on then grabs her hand. He said he is taking us out so we got ready and now we were going out , we were at his place by the way.

Me : "Baby where are we going to?"  I asked when I noticed that he was driving towards Newtown.

Kabelo : "Newtown , visiting someone."  Then he decided to ignore me and chat with Nonto. He finally drives into a big beautiful one storey house. He parks the car in front of a garage door and gets out , I follow him then he gets Nonto's door. He holds her by hand and me by waist.

Me : "Baby. Who's house is this?" He ignores me and just pecks my lips. He knocks and his sister opens.

His sister : "Sis Lando!" I hug her back when she threw her arms at me , hugging me. I'm shocked cause although we met that day but it was brief , there weren't even any introductions. I don't even know her name.

Me : "Hey baby. How are you?"

His sister : "I'm so happy to finally meet you. I've beeen wanting to officially meet you. I'm Nokwanda by the way."

Me : "It's a pleasure to officially meet you baby." She smiles.

Kabelo : "Are you done being forward Nokwa? Can we enter the house now?"  I chuckle at his frustration while Nokwa rolls her eyes. We get inside and he leads us to a lounge where there's people.

Kabelo : "Sanibonani!!!" He screams.

Old woman : "Ohhh sanalwami. Woza." He chuckles and hugs her.

Kabelo : "You good Makhulu?"

Makhulu : "I'm fine my baby , I just missed you."

Kabelo : "Ngikuphathele umakoti."  He says smiling widely and his Makhulu smiles at him matching his own smile.

Makhulu : "Bring her to me."

Kabelo : "Baby come."  I go to him and he holds my hand , I kneel next to him. His grandmother holds my face smiling with tears in her eyes.

Makhulu : "You are so beautiful and blessed." I smile.

Me : "Thank you."

Man : "Ay Musawenkosi! Introduce your guests phela." They all laugh at him.

Kabelo : "okay baby that is my grandma , MaShandu ; babomdala Ngubane ; babomncane Ngubane ; babomncane Njinji ; my brother Sifisesihle ; my sister then my lovely aunt Phindile. BoNgubane this is my future wife Landokuhle Dlamini and our daughter Nontobeko."

Babomdala : "We are happy to finally meet you my child." I shake his hand.

Me : "It's a pleasure to meet all of you too."

Aunt Phindi : "Cone here Nonto." She hugs and kisses her , they all fuss abit over her but I don't blame them my baby is a beauty and my baby is so shy. We sit in the lounge , well after Kabelo's gran made me sit next to her. Nonto was with Nokwa , they also loved her.

Aunt Phindi : "How far are you?"

Me : "Two months."  They both smile.

Aunt Phindi : "Congratulations my baby." She hugs me and excuses herself to check on the pots.

Gran : "You have just made us the happiest ever for giving us these precious jewels. I know he's very happy with you , you gave him something he's always wanted and he'll forever cherish you I know that. He has been through so much in his life , I'm sure he'll let you in one day. Thank you so much MaDlamini. Thank you for seeing the good in my grandson and loving him so purely and truly. He has always been so introverted and closed off but these past few months , he has been smiling so much , he was glowing so much and bragging to his cousins about his future wife that takes care of him even though you not married as yet. He even told me that you were pure when he found you , don't be mad at him for yelling me ; it's just that he is my baby and he's more close to me then anyone. I know soon you'll be our bride so I want you to continue being the person that you are and don't let any evil hearted people in this family change you especially his stepmother. That woman lives yo terrorise my grandson so you must be careful. She will never be nice to you if it happens that she does , do not let her close to you not must you trust her. She's a devil's agent together with her one son. I'm not trying to scare you but I want you to be aware of things okay? But I know Wenkosi won't let you and his kids be harmed. I love you ke mina." I smile , she hugs me.

Me : "I love you too and I hear you." She smiles.

MaShandu : "Can I?"

Me : "Yes."  She puts her hands on my stomach and brushes it while reciting the Ngubane clan names.

MaShandu : "I can't wait to meet them." I look at her confused.

Me : "Them?"

MaShandu : "You'll see." She says grinning. Aunt Phindi comes back and we sit chatting and them telling me a bit about Kabelo's childhood.
