chapter 39

Nomzamo's POV

The birds are chirping loudly that the only sound conquering this place along with the sound of the waterfall

?:"ngane Ka khulu .......

I look around and it's my grandmothers mother from my dad's side she died two years ago when I just started grade 8

I run and throw myself in her arms mind you I'm walking barefoot wearing ibhayi with beaded anklets

Me:"khulu "

I cup her cheeks not believing that she's right in front of me all along tears roll down my cheeks

Khulu:"haiiii man Musa ukukhala ngihlezi nginawe "

One of the reasons why I don't like visiting emlazi for the holidays is because it's only a reminder of her the memories we shared in that house everything in that entire house reminds me of her

Some days I try to get it out of my mind and remind myself that she is in a better place and that I have to let her go I already did but the pain seeing her Infront of me is a shock and I'm filled with mixed emotions

Khulu:"nomzamo"

I look at her and she is so beautiful yohhh

Me:"khulu ungishiye Leni?"

Khulu:"angizange ngikushiye ngane yam ngihlezi nginawe konke okwenzayo ngyakubona "

Me:"ngyakudinga eduze kwam "

Khulu:"ngyazi ngane yam ngyakubona konke ungadinwa konke lokhu okwenzakalayo ikona vele okubhaliwe ezinkanyezini kulotshiwe kudala"

Me:"ngobani mina ?"

Khulu:"ungalinge uzibuze lowo mbuzo kuningi okumele endleleni yakho mntanami usazojabula kakhhulu kodwa nezivunguvungu ziyaba khona phela "

Me:"angboni mina ukuthi ngizo kwazi ukuyenza yonke lento "

Khulu:"mntanami mukhulule inkinga iyona leyo mudedele "

Me:"ubani khulu?"

I look at her with confusion

Khulu:"mntanami Uma ubambelela kuyena  ulimaza yena kuphela futhi nawe uyakwaz lokho umzwisa ubuhlungu nje kuphela "

Me:"khulu ukhuluma ngobani ?"

Khulu:"vula inhliziyo ntombi yam "

With that she disappears,I wake up sweating and with a lot of questions could ukhulu be talking about mpumelelo but it' can't be him because we have broken up

I look at the clock on the wall its only past 4 in the morning it's already time for me to wake up I switch off my alarm before it even starts ringing

I'm pretty worn out from the weekend that I just had, yesterday I drank and thank god just not too much I'm never drinking alcohol again

I head to my bathroom and take a shower,dry my body ,lotion and wear my uniform I just decide to go natural today apparently for like the whole month because going to do ilathi ceremony for the nkosi ancestors

Well we only going to have it maybe this month' but until Nkosenye dreams which nkosi ancestors needs to be introduced into the family or which one we need to do the ancestry ritual for and it's going to be fine ekhaya emlazi

I don't know how these dlozi people do it this thing is so unusual how can two families be tied together without any of them being married yet I mean I haven't even married him but already nje

Today after school we are having a meeting because the letter from nkosenye's family is going to be delivered la ekhaya today after school reality is kicking in I'm getting married
