Zama's POV

"I do not like this plan"

"Yes baby, youve mentioned that already. I know my love and i do not like it either but it is the only way."

"Why do i have to be disguised as an actual man? I look like a tiny boy who is trying to sneak into the cinema just to watch an age restricted film."

I huffed and she just smiled at my expression. Today was finally the last day and she had to travel back to her home to let her parents know what she had decided. I am sure her parents were hoping she would go with their idea of marrying the girl they deemed perfect for their prince. Hannah brought me out of my thoughts when she fluffled one of her makeup brushes on my nose.

My best friend had to come to our rescue as we were both hopeless when it came to makeup. I looked at the mirror and almost did not recognize myself. I definitely looked like a man.

"Girl! You need to be in a movie production or something, you are literally a miracle worker!"

"I will always have your backs lovelies! Now i need you to try and not touch your face too much... at least until you make it inside the bedroom then you can make love and sweat it all off! But yeah it came out good if i do say so myself"

"I am wiping this off as soon as we pass the guards or something. I will be bare faced by the time we get to that part, trust me"

"Uh uh, my virgin ears! I do not need details of whatever it is you will be doing. I just need both of you to be safe please"

"We will be fine bestfriend. Hopefully"

"Zimele Biyela, if my bestfriend comes back with a bruise or even worse, does not come back... uzowukhomba umuzi onotshwala. Ngiyakuthembisa. Ngithembe ungizwile. (basically a Zulu saying that means there will be dire consequences if Zama does not come back okay)"

I could see Zimele audibly gulp at my best friend's words. She may look like a movie character but when her true self came out, she was a whole different person.

"Ng-ngikuzwa kahle. Ngizokwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi ubuya ephephile. (I-i hear you loud and clear. I will make sure she comes back safe.)"

"You be safe as well. You mean a lot to my bestfriend... please take care of each other."

"We will"
"We will"

She shared a hug with both of us and after a few minutes of helping her pack up her makeup stuff, we also prepared to leave. I grabbed the bags and left my place first whilst Zimele made a call to the royal guards that had been sent to escort her home. Perks of being royalty. She came out a few seconds later and locked the door behind her. She handed the key to me and i put it in my personal backpack. We had a long journey ahead and i just hoped we would be able to get what we wanted. I could not stand losing my love just now that i have found her.

"Ucabangani muhlezi? (What are you thinking about beautiful?)"

I could not help but sigh.

"I just hope this whole plan works... I do not know what i would do with myself if it does not work. I can't lose you Zee"

She took one of the bags and proceeded to hold my hand in hers.

"Angeke kwenzeke lokho sithandwa sami. The plan has to work, it will. I have hope it will. (That will not happen my love.)"

"I wish i was as optimistic as you are..."

"I know it is a farfetched plan but this is the only option we have my love. If i could run away with you, i would but i cannot just let the entire kingdom suffer. For now they have my parents but they are growing old and someone will have to take the throne at some given point. I would not forgive myself if i would leave my people suffer because of me."
