Siyamu's pov:
I stand up when DJ Shimza plays the song I had requested. Siyajola by Busta 929. I have a minor headache because yesterday we,or rather they drank their lives away at Buhle's bridal shower. I dance anyways because well I'm me. Sandile laughs at my moves while Buhle cheers me on,taking a video. The music dies down as I reach center stage,the crowd also hushes.
"Sanibonani, before I say anything for the bride's friends,I would like to sing a song that I feel,in my opinion represents our couple. Shout-out to Dumi Mkokstad for this great song" I say and everyone claps,for what reason?I also don't know. My eyes catch Ndo's,he's smiling, waiting for me to go on. I start singing "Yintoni na umuntu, lent' umthanda kangaka?
Yintoni na umuntu, lent' umthanda kangaka?
Yintoni na umuntu, lent' umthanda kangaka?
Yintoni na umuntu, lent' umthanda kangaka?
Umuph' isipho esinje, kulungile Thixo
Yintoni na umuntu, lent' umthanda kangaka?
Undinikile othandwa ndim'
Undinikile owentliziyo yami
Undinikile Thixo othandwa ndim'
Undinikile owentliziyo yami
Zipho zenkosi zivel' ezulwini
Zipho zenkosi ezam' nami
Zipho zenkosi zivel' ezulwini
Zipho zenkosi ngezam' nami
Unginikile Thixo othandwa ndim'
Unginikile owenhliziyo yami
Undinikile Bawo othandwa ndim'
Unginikile owenhliziyo yami
Oh, undinikile Bawo othandwa ndim'
Oh-oh, 'ndinikile owentliziyo yami
Oh, 'ndinikile Bawo othandwa ndim'
Oh, 'ndinikile owentliziyo yami
Unginikile Thixo othandwa ndim'
Unginikile owenhliziyo yami" the crowd cheers as I finish off. I do a dramatic bow and the gents whistle while most ladies ululate "mngani umuhle,nawe malume Sandile ukhiphe unyawo and everyone else in this room is elegantly gorgeous. Talking on Buhle's behalf is hard because you guys are both my friends. Buhle,mnganami,I've known you for more than 15 years now and I hope this friendship lasts till the day we take our last breaths. As much as you tell me everything,you have a husband now, everything must process through him first but not our morning gossip sessions" the crowd laughs. Sandile chuckles wiping away a tear from her eye, drama " as we grew up I never really thought you'd ever get married,like eeuw who would marry you but also who wouldn't marry you?you're a phenomenal friend,a great mother and you'll be an amazing wife. With all that said mngani,know your worth. Marriage doesn't mean hide things from us,as your friends. We may not be married but you know that we don't do 'emshadweni kuyabekezelwa',we gang up on anyone who hurts one of us. If he treats you bad mngani,which I hope never happens,my door is always open. Same applies to you Sandile,my door is always open because I'm a free marriage counselor" they laugh once again " love one another,learn to love yourselves and your children,most of all make money!" Everyone cheers as I sit down next to Wandile at our table. The couple is sitting infront us and we(bridesmaid's and groomsmen) are seated on either side of a long table,facing each other. The rest of tables are like that with lavender, gold and black drapings. Have I made the right choice?letting my best friend marry a liar,a cheat?but I should probably take Thando's advice and let her find out on her own. I stand up while Buhle's mom is speaking,I walk out to the other venue,where the food will be served. I check on the catering team and everything is good.
Someone covers my eyes with their hands. His hands are manly and they're usually cold "Thandolwethu Sangweni" I say and he chuckles removing them. I turn around to look at him
"How did you know?I don't understand" he rolls his eyes
"Babe this is our third year together" he pecks my lips twice before leading us back to the area we were in before,he tells me how beautiful I am today,for the 100th time. We eat,dance and they drink,you guys know the drill. So I had to limit being lovey dovey with Thando because my mom is here and she doesn't know I have a boyfriend or that I'm pregnant. I fetch Buhle from the dance floor,we walk to where my mom is sitting. This is going to be hard man. She smiles as we approach her. I wonder how she's going to take the news
