chapter 10

Nolwandle's POV

I am at the ancestral place again ,the waterfall the forest everything just seems too surreal

I skim the place this time the only thing I hear are birds chirping and the sound of the river flowing

"Sawbona ndodakazi"

I turn around and it's that Gogo that I always see her face looks so familiar

Me:"yebo ma"

Her:"iskhathi asisekho "

Me:"ingane isencane "

Her:"ashambe kancane "

I walk with her she is holding her stick

Her:"mntana wam nguwe okhethekileyo kodwa labantwana Angeke bakwazi ukuwuqeda lonyaka behlukene"
(My child you are the chosen one these children cannot complete the remainder of this year apart they won't survive )

Me:"sengizamile ,kodwa ngyasaba abakulungele ukushada"(I have tried but I am scared they are not ready for marriage)

Her:"lapho khona umsabela ilapho khona izinto zibheda kakhhulu abadala abanso iskhathi eside konke lokhu niya kwazi"(the more you fear for them that's when things go bad the elders dint have much time y'all know all this)

Me:"manje kumele ngenzenjani"(what must I do )

Her:"yekela ukuzama ukumkhusela ngoba udlalela emlilweni iyingozi kakhhulu "(stop trying to protect them because you are playing withe fire )

Me:"basalelwe iskhathi esingakanani?"
(How much time are they left with ?"

Her:"inyanga yokugcina yegazi "
(The last blood moon )

I shoot my eyes open ,breathing heavily they really don't have enough time

I wear my slippers and my gown then head to Gogo's room this is urgent

I knock once and mkhulu opens the door  wearing his gown it's still only 03:45 past midnight

Khulu:"ndodakazi"

Me:"I'm looking for Gogo "

Khulu:"ohhh come in she is also awake now "

Mkhulu opens the door and heads out I'm guessing to give us some privacy
Gogo is already sitting upright on the bed looking at me

Gogo:"yini ? Nolwandle"

Me:"Gogo they don't have enough time"

Gogo:"did you dream ?"

Me:"yess the ancestors communicated through a dream it's not going good"

Gogo:"how long ?"

Me:"the last blood moon "

Gogo:"it's only still march "

Me:"and a lot has to be done she needa to know the truth now "

Gogo:"do you think she's ready lwandle ?"

Me:"I don't know but the ancestors chose her for a reason let's not doubt them she needs to pay attention to her dream only then will she know her in laws"

Gogo:"we have to tell her , tomorrow we going to musa's place "

Me:"okay thank you Gogo and don't stress "

Gogo:"au nkosi yam "

Me:"it's gonna be okay "

She nods her head and I stand up and head out back to my room
