Turning Table

Part 151

***Intellectually Declined ***

Lethukuthula

it's been just a few days since Mama left and I'm still puzzled that Mvelo had a grandfather that we all did not know about that has passed on, but on a serious note who the hell knows what's going on in that Royal house, there are the most private public Figures on earth.

" ok, this is the checklist you need to go through, I have sorted most of the things just follow up and make sure that the event organizer does everything accordingly "

Mbali said handing me her tablet, she was going to Ngonyameni today to attend the royal funeral that nobody knows about except family and a few family friends, you see what I mean when I say that the Mnguni royal house is so bloody private. I look at my wristwatch and back at her, ok she is fashionably late now why is she even going at this point?

Her: Lethu we need a tombstone as in yesterday ... "

Me: I know Mbali, I'm working on it ... "

She sighs and looked at me

Her: are you sure you going to handle the unveiling preparations while I and Mama are gone, you know I can stay behind and help ... "

Me: No, please don't, Mvelo and Sbahle need your support, besides what can go wrong we have an event planner Mbali ...."

Mbali: last time I checked Mntungwa only fathered two daughters and the event organizer is not part of the family, but you are ... "

Me: I get it Mbali, jeez can you please lighten up, I will follow the checklist, I will visit the Stonemasonry factory today and I promise I will buy the perfect gravestone for Mntungwa Please stop warring "

Her: ok .. ok... where is my woman? "

Me: she left with Mzi, they're going to buy a cow, goats, and chickens for the cleansing ceremony "

Her: I swear to God Baba Omdala has stolen my women "

I bust out and laughed, the past days have been interesting in this house we have discovered that Mzi and Jisha have this father-and-daughter connection and to make things even more interesting Mzi can also do single language, they just clicked. But to be honest, Mzi has that effect in all of us, at times I think that God is giving us another chance to experience a father's love.

Me: I know hay, but they should be coming back now cause Mzi has promised to accompany me to the Stonemasory "

She nodded.

Me: so this Nkosiyabantu fallen king, which rock was he hiding under "

She laughed.

Her: he has been there in plain sight it's just that ordinary people did not see him as leaving being or human for that matter "

Me: what? ..."

Her: yep "

Me: so he was what a spirit that only supernatural people can see? "

I said popping my eyes open and fishing for answers from Mbali

Her: Something like that, you see the Mnguni people their blood is mixed with a beast, they call it Mnguni Curse, so Nkosi yabantu spirit was trapped in this great white lion for decades and whenever a powerful royal being is born the curse gets lifted and the soul that was trapped in a beast is released to be joined with the other fallen kings, So when Impi son was born he set the great king Nkosiyabantu spirit free, so his death is a symbol of death and life ... "

Me: What? "

Her: crazy story right "

Me: that's just absurd, you don't expect me to believe that crap "
