chapter 44

Nomzamo's POV

It's the 16th of movement today I woke up at about 03:00 today is the day I go to the river and the day the ancestors have been waiting for with open eyes I'm really nervous because I don't know what's going to happen

Today is the day I'm officially being given my title of water princess the land of oManzini that's why ngowaka nkosi I'm born to rule just not on earth unlocking this chapter is really dangerous for me I know that

Here I am still wanting to do it it's no long er about Nkosenye or anybody it's about me now what I want ? And what this journey holds the going is still about to more tougher from here onwards but one thing I know is that Nkosenye will be with me

I wear my white below the knees dress it's fluffy with short sleeves not long sleeves and my white sandals with a white doek covering my natural afro hair

I take ibhayi that I dreamt yesterday in the morning,mom went to buy the exact same one for me it's the one my ancestors actually chose for me it has lion prints and it's red wow I'm loving it and I feel so connected to it

Gogo says I should feel like I'm accepting Idlozi ,well me and my grandmother have tried to actually iron things out she's been visiting me these past few months
I take my candles and head out I'm not exactly going to need my candles because im going to be underwater it's going to feel like maybe 10 minutes yet it's been two days

If I come back up with my crown then it means that my ancestors have agreed that Nkosenye is the chosen one that I have been waiting for all along and the right one but if it thunders and I don't come out I will be stuck deep inside until the right one comes along with pure intentions

I'm not thinking about if's because I have this strong feeling deep inside of me Nkosenye is the one the madlozi's directed me too he was in my dream unless he has a twin ke

Mom is already waiting for me as soon as she sees me she becomes all teary my dad is trying to hold it in I know they can't sink in the fact that I'm getting married and I'm only 15 now this right here is a family record

I group hug with them for the longest of time

Me:"okay enough crying we are still going to see each other come on "

Dad:"its not the same as having you talking and shouting around this house "

Me:"I'm only a phone call away don't worry "

Dad:"come give your father a hug "

I run up to him and hug him I really wish that I could have this moment for life

We head to the car ,the car ride was filled with joy ,love and laughter we were just having conversations about my life,my passion and their favourite moments and memories that have with me one would swear I'm moving to America or something

We arrive at howick ,the nerves are kicking in I'm really doing this I'm actually going accept my gift once and for all well not now yet I'm not going to be initially handed my gift today obviously but this whole thing feels surreal

I feel tears sting my eyes and mom is already by my side cupping my cheeks I just let it all out I'm scared I'm 15 and I know nothing about all of this marriage stuff !

Gogo opens the door it's my Gogo and then Gogo nomafu behind her

Gogo:"sesfikile iskhathi ndodakazi"

Gogo nomafu:"asambe nomzamo "

I hug my mom tightly then step out and follow them to the direction of the waterfall the exact same waterfall that started all of this ,the excact one that chose me to do all of this
