Phiwamandla
The past year iv been a monster to the only human that has been good to me and my soul. Iv damaged any trust that she might have had on men as general and have been slowly killing her inside. The minute she walked in the room with her head held high and I watched men drool on her and wish to be on her side. I felt my heart roll back in my chest and dance. Iv realised iv grown to love her and I saw that she only took me asa friend even though we were married and its been a year but things were slow as a snail between us. I don't know what got into me but iv been abusing her mentally, physically and emotionally. Iv been seeing my therapist but I have days were I just lose it. I walked closer to her to find her smelling like a homely tea. I watched her smile drop and tears swirl into her eyes the same eye that I punched red earlier on.
Me: your highness
Nyakallo: My king
Simple words that she says makes my heart pound. I held her hand as we walked to the dance floor, a simple waltz was happening so I held her hand and waltz with her in silence.
Me: Am sorry for everything
Nyakallo: Apology accepted.
I looked at her kind eyes.
Me: I really am and am getting help. I saw a glimpse of hope in her eyes. So she does love me.
Nyakallo: Can we sit the next dance out?
I nodded as we went to our place where we did our rounds meeting people and when everything was over the music was more upbeat.
Me: you can go home, ill stay a little later.
Nyakallo: goodnight my king.
I brought her closer and kissed her cheek lightly and watched her walk trying to move from the people dancing.
Hlelo
The minute I saw her my heart stopped and the world disappeared. The only person I could see was her in front of me. I don't remember moving but I found myself standing in front of her and I was meet by the saddest eyes iv ever seen in my life.
Me: Hlelo Zungu
Her: Nyakallo Mamothame-Zulu
Me: Any relations to Mamothame industries in Lesotho?
Nyakallo::My father runs it.
Me: Care for a dance?
Nyakallo:am actually on my way out.
Me: I promise I won't keep you, your highness. And just than a sexy upbeat tango started. Now this should be fun. Before she could say anything I spin her gaining everyone to stop and watch us dance and I saw her eyes sparkle and her body came to life as we tango the sexy tango.
Phiwamandla
When everyone stopped I watched and saw my wife dancing like there is no care in the world. It was like she was happy in that moment with...... i felt my heart get caught up in my chest. Hlelo Zungu??!! I closed my eyes and opened them looking into the eyes of a man that I once left to die after I framed him with a despicable crime. I felt furry boil in me as they danced away and man whistling and females grinning like no other day.
Nyakallo
When he spins me I feel like I could fly, his every touch repaired my soul and healed my wounds. Every bump and step I had around him felt like I was surrounded by peace. The whole world vanished and it was just him and I and the DJ as he danced with me making me feel liberated. When the music ended and I genuinely smiled for a first time in a year I saw my husband from across the room go red with anger. I mumbled something to him and dashed out of there without saying goodbye.
Anele: I never knew you could dance so well.
Me: take me to the hotel please
She nodded and I looked at my hands and I was shaking. " oh god please dont let Phiwamandla kill me" i kept on saying those words in my head. I got in and bid Anele good night and I took out my dress undid my hair and wore my shorts and top. The hotel room opened just as I wA bout to get in bed when Phiwa opened the door fuming and I sas my life flash right in front if me.
