THE KING'S BRIDE

Chapter 25

LETHUKHANYA

I woke up feeling sobber and my head is so heavy. I need a tea right now for this problem. I woke up and sat straight on bed and noticed that am alone on the bed. I wore my gown and sleepers. My phone ringed and i answered it
Nozl : heyyy.
He yelled making me deaf.
Nazo : bro last night was a banger. We should do that again. The whole new king brought the whole club last night
He laughed out loud and i can tell he wasnt alone.
Lethu  : i what.??
Thats when i remembered the whole night..i dropped my phone and ran downstairs where i found nosipho in an apron and she had three food containers on the table while cooking another food.
What have i done.? Is hse mad..well yeah totally but then how do i start a convo with her right now..how do i apologise.
Amalwaysgood at apologising but this one is different. Telling my wife that she controls me. Damn you nazo.!
Nosipho : you are staring.?
Lethu : sorry.
Nosipho : well your breakfast is ready and in the microwave
She is smiling and am freaking out.
Lethu : sthandwa. (Love)
Nosipho  : yeah.?
She looked at me with a bright smile like nothing is happening. Just like this i know that am already in deep trouble..deepest
Nosipho : if you are demanding mgy food then you should try again.
She giggled removing the apron and gave me food from the microwave.
She poured some of the herbs on the food containers and called some maids.
Lethu  : are we going to eat all that.?
Nosipho  : no
She took her phone and her new bag that she brought from london
Nosipho  : ok now see you later when i come back. Enjoy
She kissed my cheek and i held her back.
Lethu  : where are you going.?
Nosipho  : palace
Lethu : what.!! Why.??
Nosipho  : to finish my moaning for my son.
Lethu : how so cause we have to eat together.  Am sorry i came back home late..
Nosipho  : well incase you forgot there is another way for me to finish this.

She snatched her hand.
Nosipho  : ohh and i accept your apology cause i wouldnt want to control you for feeling guilt
She walked out of the house and i just couldnt bare it. The other way is not good.
I cant let mother to feed her and..no you dont

NOSIPHO

I just had to keep a smile as i reached the palace.
The queen was already waiting for me with some of her maids
Nosipho  : morning your highness.
Queen : morning queen Nosipho.
We just looked and couldnt say anything
Queen : i got some gifts for you.
The maids stood infront of me with some boxes infront on their hands.
Nosipho : well sorry that i didnt bring anything..thinking that you wont accept anything from me because..of what happened few months ago. But thanks for picking my call and help me pass this hard time
Queen  : you dont know how am feeling talking to you now. Its my fault that today you are eating herbs and not scrubbing your belly with a smile
I held back my tears and we both walked in her house. Immediately ten guards came in
Queen  : what is going on.?
Guard : king's orders
Nosipho : king's  orders yoknuka. Cant you see you ard invading two womens privacy.? ( my foot )
They just looked at me like i said nothing and then he walked in rushing as hell.
Nosipho : lethu what is this.?
Lethu : we are going.
Nosipho : am not going anywhere with you.
Lethu : i cant let you.stay with her for even an hour
Queen : lethu am sorry. Ok. Yes i did a mistake but am sorry. Am also feeling guilty cant you see that.
Lethu : mother listen..i dont want to see you next to my wife. And you will never see your grandchildren that i promise you.
Queen  : lethu..
Tears just filled her eyes and he didn't even look at his mother for a second.
Lethu : asambe ( lets go. )
Nosipho : whathave you turned your self into lethu. This is not you..
Lethu : ngithe asambe . !
He yelled and i freaked out. 
I quickly walked back to my car. This has never happened before.
Lethu  : am sorry for yelling but..i couldnt hold it.
Nosipho : what has turned into my man. Where is that lethu that i married?? Where is the kindness and love.?? Who are you.??
I stopped him from wiping away my tears.
Nosipho : what happened.?? To us..? To the big loving family.?
He tried to hold my hands but i retrieved mine.
Nosipho : lethukhanya biyela. Take me to my mother's grave.
He instructed the driver. I couldn't even look at him.. his hands tried to hold me but i didnt want that at the moment. At least let me go spend sometime with people who will listen to me and they wouldn't tell me how controlling i am. Its better off with them than a lion that is ready to hold your neck.
I dont want him to feel pity for me rather to love me like his wife. Yes am not fully educated like him but i deserve a chance to love. When was the last time i was asked if am ok or not
