-not edited, apologies for any mistakes-
We decided to go in one car because it wouldn't make sense to take all our separate cars with. We were all conversing over light topics but I just felt extremely sick and sleepy. I felt like vomiting, I just was not okay.
Ziyanda: Amanda are you okay?
Me: angazi.. I'm just feeling a bit sick, I'll just have a short nap
Ziyanda: oh okay that's a good idea.
I close my eyes and sleep.

I'm woken up by Andiswa
Andi: sesifikile
I nod and wipe my drool. I touch up my wake up then we leave. It's a very high house with a rooftop. At the bottom it's a restaurant then at the top its a rooftop party.
Andi: Ziyanda and them are at the rooftop, let's go.
I nod and follow her. I still don't feel good but I'm better.

There's a really big party there and everything is nice and cool. I just decided to drink some orange juice because their wine is way too strong for me, I'm not much of a drinker anyway. Everyone is dancing and happy, the DJ is playing the newest songs. I don't know where Sifiso is and I'm actually missing him. I want him to come here.
Ziyanda: where are our men vele vele?
Tshegofatso: Mlondi's phone is off
Andiswa: ayi I hope that they are okay wherever they are.

2 hours later**Finally they arrive. Sifiso is looking so handsome and sexy wearing a white t-shirt with a blue tracksuit. He walks towards me..
Sifiso: maNdlanzi.
We hug briefly
Me: where were you kanti?
He avoids my question. Yazi there is something going on with Sifiso.. he doesn't want me to see his phone and he is just getting so secretive it's annoying me but ke I won't say anything.
-
We dance and party then the DJ plays a slow jazz song. The couple's join hands and the singles dance alone. My hands are on Sifiso's shoulders and his hands are on my waist. We dance slowly to song.
Sifiso: yazi MaNdlanzi.. indlela engikuthanda ngayo ayi .
He whispers sweet things to my ear. I could stay here forever. He looks at the DJ and makes him stop the song. He goes down on his knees
Me: ayibo Sifiso wenzani?
He holds my hands. Everyone is now looking at Sifiso and I.
Sifiso: yazi maNdlanzi.. umangikubona, ngibona umama wengane zami, umakoti wasekhaya, unkosikazi wami. Ngiyakuthanda MaNdlanzi, ngikuthanda ukufa. Wena uyisipho sami esivela KuNkulunkulu. Sthandwa sami, nkanyezi yami. Ngicabanga ukuthi wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi ngangi njani before kufika wena. Ngagilisoka lamanyala, ngilala nawo wonke lamantombazane. Ngiyabonga ngokungishintsha. Ngayazi ukuthi ngibuye ngibhede kodwa uhlezi ungixolele. Ngifuna ukukhula nawe, Sebe ugogo noMkhulu sibabili, sikhulise umuzi Kababa. Ngiguna wena wedwa MaNdlanzi. *Points at heart* yabo le nhliziyo, eyakho yonke. (When I see you, I see the mother of my children, the bride of my family, my wife. I love you Miss Ndlanzi, I love you to death. You are my gift from God. My love, my star. I think everyone knows who I was before you came. I was a player and slept with all these girls. Thank you for changing me. I know that I sometimes do wrong things but you always forgivw me. I want to grow with you, be grannies and grandpas together, grow my father's house. I want you and you only MaNdlanzi. *Points to heart* you see this heart, it's yours all of it) Ngiyakuthanda MaNdlanzi. ( I love you)
He wipes away some tears on my face.
The people start the countdown to New Year's.
Sifiso: ngicela ungizenze indoda ethokozile kunabo bonke lapha emhlabeni. ( Please make me the most happiest man on earth)
He takes out a small black box from his jacket.
Sifiso: *opens box as he speaks* ngishade? (Marry me?)
I was so shocked and amazed. It was a diamond ring. Oh my gosh.
I nodded since I was so speechless.. oh my gosh!
He slipped the ring.
People: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
The fireworks pop in and balloons fall down onto us. Sifiso and I are just hugging each other and I'm crying tears of joy. Wow.. I'm engaged?!
--
I still couldn't believe it as Sifiso and I drove to our own hotel later that day. I kept on looking at the ring.
Me: ngiyabonga Gcwabe.
He smiles at me and kisses my hands
somebody pinch me I still don't believe it.. I'm engaged??
