I know maybe I may seem like a bad mother right now but I am doing this for my daughter the Cele's are dangerous people and there's nothing my husband and I can do I didn't lie about ukungenwa I was married to Zolani Xaba and we we had our son Smiso but he passed away he was shot because he was in the taxi industry and I got married to Zimele I didn't love Zimele at first even though he was the whole package he was handsome and rich and the personality but he was just not Zolani so it was hard for me to fall in love with him but it happened

At first I was happy that my daughter wasn't marrying a nobody I was was happy that she was marrying into an influential family but I later found out that they are also dangerous the most dangerous family in Durban and when Nathi died I thought my daughter was free but now I know she will be tied to that family forever

Me:baba ngiyaxolisa

Zimele:ohh please Londeka don't act sorry we both know you are happy I don't know why you keep pushing our daughter to that dangerous family

Me:sthandwa sam there's nothing we can do if she denies their request they might hurt her they never take no for an answer

Zimele:if anything happens to my daughter I will kill you Londeka mark my words

I gulp I know he is capable of doing so he walks up the stairs I guess to our bedroom I sigh and sit down on the couch god please be with my daughter in that house Nkosiyabo hates Umi I just hope he doesn't hurt her thixo

My name is Nkosiyabo Cele I'm 34 years old I'm not married yet I have one child a girl Azande she is 12 years old she lives with me her mother left her with me when she was a year old

Please don't ask me why I don't like Umingentando because nami I don't have a tangible reason why I don't like her at first I thought she was with my brother for money but I have seen she has her own money but I just still don't like her now maybe because she once cheated on my brother and he never knew about it I have to marry her shit family customs just peace me off but I am not going to sit back and watch Umi fall in love with another man and have that bastard play a father role on my nephew

After the meeting the aunts and uncles plus Umi's parents left so now I'm going to Umi's room to take Kwenzo I'm very fond of that little man he reminds me so much of Nathi I miss my little brother so much I killed that bastard that killed my brother I then chopped his body into pieces then sent it to his family

I knock and I hear a faint come in I walk in and I find Umi laying on the bed on her back and Kwenzo on top of her kissing his mother's face

Me:sawubona

She sits up

Her:sawubon bhuti

Me:is that what you are going to call me when we are married??

I ask her as I take Kwenzo who is happy to see me

Her:I think so.......I don't know what I will call you

She answers looking down playing with her fingers

Me:mmmmh

Her:can I ask you something??

I raise my left eyebrow

Me:go on

Her:why do you hate me???what did I do to you

Shit I forgot about her she has been trying to be my friend for the past 2 years but I'm just not budging after Nathi I pushed Zama away until she gave up and threw the worst insults at me the last time she saw me

Nandi is the receptionist that helped me when I got to the hospital that night Nathi died

Me:hey Nandi how are you??

Her:I'm good and you??

I pour myself some juice

I sit on the high chairs next to the kitchen counter and I just sit and think about my life it has changed a lot after Nathi died here I am  practically being forced into marrying my brother in law
