Nkosenye's POV

I wake up and I'm welcomed by a smell of burning incense I cough man ....yohhh this thing is truly intoxicating now my whole outfit smells of incense

I gently rise up from the reed mat I remember being at the fire and screaming in pain ,
I quickly pull up my shirt just to search my body and there's a mark it's like fire with some jaws

Weird thing is I don't feel any pain when I touch it but with the ancestors you just never know neh
At the door I notice my Adidas push ins I know they are mines because of every white stripe line There's intial names of me ,Ayanda and kwanele it's basically

A,k,N

We did that back when we were in grade 10 I shake my head at the thought of remembering that moment 
I see my dad's car is still parked in the drive way

A thwasa passes me as I'm still scanning this place

Me:"hey "

Her:"hey"

She looks beautiful yena but not my type of girl and maybe she's older

Me:"umm have you seen my mom?"

Her:"yes she's inside the main house "

She looks down and leaves ,too much respect in one person
I head to the main house and I'm greeted by laughter in the lounge I knock once and enter and the first thing my mom does is engulf me in a hug

Mom:"ohhh my baby I was so worried"

Me:"yet you were laughing just minutes ago "

Dad:"son everything good "

Me:"yep Mr kh?"

He nods his head well that was me greeting him

Khumalo:"you good ? How do you feel now?"

Me:"I'm coping but I feel kinda different now "

Mom:"are you okay ?"

Me:"yes mom I mean different as in my mood I'm still kinda confused "

Dad:"that's okay sit down "

Gogo mavimbela looks at me and gives me a smile and nods her head

Gogo:"well now my son you are ready "

Me:"ngyabonga Gogo"

I suddenly feel ecstatic about this gift still nah about the marriage Being in my slumber really woke me up it made me feel kinda different refusing this gift won't help at all it's best I just accept it

Nomzamo's POV

I wake up and I'm at one of Gogo's rondavel I really thought I wasn't going to make it I look around and take my shoes then head into the main house

My dad's car is still outside which means they are still here
I remember being at the river and talking to the queens and next thing it was that sceptre mark

I touch my neck and look at myself through the window of the rondavel
I see a scar that wasn't there before I touch because it looks so fresh but I feel no pain ...weird

Well continuing with my way ,mom is sitting with Gogo outside the main house they look really deep in conversation I walk up to them

Me:"Sanbona"

My mom's face literally lights up

Mom:"zamo"

Me:"ninjan"

Gogo:"mawakho bekhathazekile "

I give her a brief smile that I'm going to be okay she catches on and carries talking with Gogo
