Sobahle
We arrived at the vanue a very beautiful boutique hotel we took a private elevator to the booked hotel room because his majesty wanted to avoid prying eyes, Bukhosibomvelo has been preoccupied the moment we got into the room he is on a conference call and I'm standing on the balcony to give him space, the view from this balcony is beautiful you can see the beauty of the surrounding areas from up here and the beautiful sun that's about to set the sky looks beautiful painted with splash of twilight.
"MaZungu come eat something before we head downstairs."
Bukhosi says standing on the sliding door
"Oh sorry I didn't realize that you were done with your work call, I stepped out to give you space"
"You should have stayed inside the room that call was not that important I was just finalizing things."
He says closing the sliding door behind us, he has taken his jacket off and it's hanging on the rack and his crispy white dress shirt is folded up.
"I didn't know royal members were allowed to have tattoos."
I say staring at his lightly inked forearm, his tattoo is not easily noticeable unless you pay full attention to his forearm.
"Oh this I got it done few years back and uMa hates it but what done is done, I don't think I want to erase it."
He says giving me food from the food platter he didn't even ask me what I would like he literally placed almost every piece from the platter.
Bukhosi is a light eater from what I observed after spending few hours with him he eats small portions of food but he is a big man whom loves meat and not actual full meals.
" I see, I adore tattoos but I don't want them on my body."
I say this smiling while he chuckles clearly amused by what I just said.
"MaZungu what do you think about surrogacy." I look at him puzzled before responding
"Well I think surrogacy is good if you are helping a women who can't carry babies" I answer truthfully.
"So you wouldn't mind being a surrogate mother to help a couple have a baby."
"I wouldn't mind but it can cost me a lot because ubabe might see this as a bad thing."
Bukhosi
"I would like you to be my surrogate " I say putting my plate on the table sitting straight to face Sobahle and she looks shocked.
"Bukhosibomvelo are you out of your mind!, I'm not financially well to quit my job and be your surrogate mother why won't your partner carry your baby and does the royal family approve of this madness " she says her pretty face looking mad and surprised
"I will pay you and help look for a good job after the whole process."
"Habe that is illegal in this country surrogacy is free why won't your partner carry the baby for you" she say staring bravely at me, umuhle umaZungu madoda.
"No, I don't mind covering your financial loss and doing this is my choice my family has no say and angi shadile I just want an heiress or heir to my legacy, ngoba sengi khulile manje I think I'm ready to be a parent."
"Bukhosi your request is weighing heavily on me I will have to really think it through." she says after a while.
"Ok" I respond briefly
"But Bukhosi why don't you marry a princess and have a baby with her"
"Ngifuna wena uzale ingani yami and I don't want a wife or any serious relationship so that won't be possible " We leave for the launch.
Sobahle
Bukhosibemvelo Zulu is crazy how can he ask for such a big thing from me"
"Bahle how are you I'm sorry for keeping you waiting and you look so beautiful you look like an angel mama" Senamile says while hugging me tightly and smiling at me .
"Thanks, you also look gorgeous and It's fine miss Dlamini I know you were very busy with, this beautiful launch and thank you for the invite " I say smiling back at her Senamile is kind and pretty.
"Oh and I hope Mvelo didn't trouble during your stay at his palace" she says smiling while looking at her brother who chuckles.
"uMaZungu bengi mphethe kahle kabi she can attest to this herself."
He say looking softly in between me and his cousin sister, if only she knew what you request from me I think to myself.
"Yena ebengi phethe kahle."
I say to Sena who hugs her cousin to thank him I guess
"Habe Muhleza waze wa muhle namuhla ntokazi."
says typical Melokuhle behind me standing with four men who look like him, but I notice that the other two resemble him and Bukhosi I assume that they are his older brothers the kings sons look like him but all the Zulu prince's resemble one another
"Thank you Lolo" I say smiling at him
"Bo bafo niyambona umakoti waka Zulu yena uzo shada lane ekhaya ngizwa engazini" he rants off madly as usual.
"This are my brothers this one is the first born Nkosiyabo the sweet future king, this is my second favorite he is Nkosi's and Mvelo's younger brother and Lolo's older brother Cebolabo and this is Bangizwe and Sibusiso they are also my cousins lana kwazulu male grandchildren suppress the number of female ones so usazo bona o mageba aba ningi kabi" Sena introduced me to his brothers who are kind and friendly unlike Bukhosi and she is right Nkosi, Bangi and Cebo are the sweetest and sbu and typically Lolo are crazy.
