Chapter 29

FINAL

LETHUKHANYA

I took my phone right after i got out of the bathroom and called one of my guards to arrange some things for me. I tied a towel around me and cupped her in my hands off the bed and walked to the bathroom with her.
I opened the bath tub tap for hot and cold water then put her in. She is so drained which i dont want to blame myself for. She said i fuck good you know.
Even the water makes things look comfortable for her. I guess I'll bath her myself.

DOLLY

The party has started and i can see that mother is worried. Even now i still blame this woman for everything but i just have to forget about it and try to move on.

BIANCA

Spha : why did you hang your phone on me last night. Huh.? Do you think am stupid.?
Is this why he dragged me out of the party.? Is this why am being held tight and i cant even scream since there is noise already. No one will hear me.
Sphamandla is a psycho like for real.
Bianca : why are you doing this to me.! Do you even love me sphamandla.?
I let down my tears and he wiped them scarying me more with his look.
Spha : ohh stop with the tears. You are going to get back at the party with a smile..then make an excuse to your mom and we are leaving.
What.?? No.! I cant go with him anywhere right now.
Bianca : its her birthday.!
Spha : you have thirty minutes.
He fixed his suit and smiled then held my waist forcing me to walk in the party with him.
Spha : smile.
He said with a fake grin.
Is this what they call karma .? I judged when lethu had a poor girlfriend..i went mad and now, i got a psycho as a boyfriend.
I sat down next to mother with my fake smile.

" DEAR MOTHER....THIS IS FOR YOU. "
we all looked around to where the deep voice is coming from. I looked at him shocked.
I saw lethu carrying gifts with his wife.
Lethu : happy birthday to you..happy birthday to you...
We all joined in singing with him
Spha winked his eye at me and that drained my mood. I ignored him and sang along with the crowd.
Am in deep shit that i already know.

NOSIPHO

the same heart once thought cold and lifeless
fills with glorious joy and happiness. Can you believe that , god is a time creator if they ever tell you.? No.! Because we all think that he take time to answer.  It might be true but only part of the it is interesting.
My heart is here and i can feel it..
In my heart...i know am free now
Dolly : well you took ages to convince him.
I laughed at the thought of it. My eyes are near to close up cause i can feel that beauty sleep little by little.
Nosipho   : let's say..he knows.
Dolly : he knows.? About.?
Nisipho : the plan.
She looked around with amazed eyes and she hides her face when she saw him.
He came to us leaving the queen mother to the guests.
He geld her ear and smile
Dolly  : brother please..am sorry.
She said trying to free herself.
Dolly : ok..let me explain..what will my boyfriend say if he sees you doing this to me.
Lethu : ill tell him that you betrayed me. You came up with the idea to my wife to torture me.
Dolly : at least you deserved it.
He let's go of her ear.
Lethu : i hate you for that.
Dolly : as if am the master plan here.!
Nosipho : you dont wanna know what happened to me.
He smirked.

We walked to the nearest table and took some drinks. Gosh my eyes were on the cake. I noticed that bianca was sad talking to the other guy. I gasp and stood up with shock when he started to threaten her.
Nosipho  : lethu..something is wrong.
Dolly : what.?
Nosipho  : who is that with bianca.?
Dolly : ohh..her new boyfriend.  I dont know where she picked him but he speaks money.
Lethu : its not about money in a guy that you should see.
He said shyly.
Dolly : tell that to her and i promise i will get you a new car.
They laughed..i stood up and followed bianca and that guy.

BIANCA

Nosipho  : and where is the road heading.?
Spha smiled hitting me with his shoulder and i smiled.
Spha : ohh..well we had plans you know. But we can cone back later on to say good night.
Nosipho : she cant sleep out on her mother's birthday.
That seemed to make him lose it as he hugged my waist but pinched me to come up with a plan.
Spha : the queen mother had no problem with it.
Nosipho : am  also the queen and my word stand.
Spha : not her mother.
I saw how Nosipho had teary eyes but she held in. She looked at me
Nosipho : i know we never get along but not today Bianca.  Its your mother's special day for god sake.
Spha : why are you stubborn.!
He yelled ..
Lethu : how dare you yell at my wife.?!!
Nosi was scared but smiled when lethu appeared.  Even dolly and vuyo showed up.
Spha : i..i didnt.. mean to. Its a misunderstanding
Lethu : bianca..on my side now.!
Spha : we were just leaving.
He smiled.
Lethu : bianca !!
He shouts and i tried to move but spha held me  back.
Spha : what do you think you are doing.?
Dolly : leave my sister alone.!
I let my tears slide out looking at him
Bianca : spha...you need help. I cant do this like i cant ...
Spha : shut the fuck up.!!you are mine get that. Its not like your family will marry you. Its not like you will be a princess for life get that.  !
Lethu : we will if we have to protect her from things like you.!
He walke up to us and took his hand off me. I ran and hugged nosipho and dolly.
Lethu : guards.!!
They ran up and took him to his car. They forced him to leave and just then..my phone started to go crazy with his calls.

Few weeks later

BIANCA

SORRY

this word has so many emotions,
It also has a cure,
When someone forgives,
Then you can be sure,
That your life is back on track,
But we still have thkse memories to remember.
Its been 8 weeks now and sphamandla is getting all the help he needs and a support from his brother.
Dolly is getting married in two months time while i..
Well am still finding out what i am. Now i know that dad only wanted the best for me and not to destroy me.

Mom is expecting to be a grandmother while lethu is not comfortable with mom doing everything for nosipho. He rather be with them..i also cant wait to carry my brother's baby in my arms.
I learnt that family comes FIRST sometimes only if all of you care for each other .
Things can change in fraction of second and life can also take a turn....

THE KING'S BRIDE......
