My Two Souls (Finding Myself)

Chapter 4

I'm nervous, scared of meeting my soon to be husband. I don't even know what we will be talking about but I have to do this if I'm going to be spending my entire life with this man.
Zweli is walking with me to meet this guy and my nerves are getting worse when I see him standing like a statue in my uncle's garden. "Go sister I will wait for you here, try to be open minded while talking to the guy", says my oldest brother in a pleading tone. I'm glad they sent him here rather than my so called brothers I have.

"Sanibonani", I greet the guy in our language so I don't come disrespectful when greeting him like I'm talking to my friend. He turns and look at me. I felt like I'm seeing him from the first time. He has a dark skin colour, his eyes are light brown I guess it runs from the family because his father has the same eyes. His tall, I can also say he's handsome so I understand why my sister was being bitter about me marrying a good looking guy him while she is married to that ugly, cheating beast she calls a husband. I really don't know if this marriage will start from hate or understanding because truly speaking I don't have that energy to be dealing with trying to make someone love me. "Are you listening?", he ask by snapping his fingers in front of my face. Oh god this means I just zoned out while I'm standing in front of him.

I look aside refraining from looking into his eyes "sorry I didn't mean to zone out", I say truthful. "no need to apologise I would like to introduce myself as soon we will not be strangers", he continues "my name is Nkosana Khumalo the second born in the Khumalo household, I know you are weirded by this marriage proposal our parents gave us and the fact that I'm a guy and can decline the offer" "I guess you already think I'm a follower of my father but I have my reasons I will like not to discuss now, but can we try and see where this marriage takes us." he finishes his speech to be honest I didn't think the guy will talk so many words because he looks like a man of few words but I like the fact that he is polite while talking and he doesn't hint arrogance or being an alpha male by demanding like my father while talking which made me think maybe getting married to him after all it will be good but I can't be forward without getting actions and knowing him. "I understand and I have no obligations about this wedding I just have one wish and that we respect each other then everything will fall into place", I say this with confidence I don't know where it comes from but that makes him smile and nod in respect and understanding. He begins to talk again but was disturbed by my brother, Zweli informing me that it is time to go back to the other house where there are other women in. I say goodbye to Nkosana with a small smile then I go back feeling satisfied that I spoke to him.
