****The Dream ***

Liyana

"Liyana vuka ... " I felt hands shake me and whisper softly that I wake up, I slowly open my eyes and realize that I'm in unfamiliar surroundings, my eyes then get trapped in this gaze in front of me, eyes so beautiful, eyes that are much splendid, Most pretty and lovely
I notice a glimpse of magic in them as I blink I feel them slowly capture my soul, it is how they make me feel that is most surprising to me, A fountain of pure joy is what I feel now, it's pouring into my heart When my eyes gaze into her shiny eyes, lord this feel so unreal, I feel great euphoria like I'm trapped in a World of ecstasy and dreams, wait I am dreaming this is not real ...?

"Molo sana lwami "

She speaks with a husky voice, her voice excites me, It resonates, While other may just hear voices communicating words of greeting or information, to me her voice transport unbelievable energy that nurtures. I warm myself at its sound, A voice so soft and quiet lord am I glad for the peace it brings. With the sound of her voice, she touches my soul. The unspeakable is head and felt and I am glad for her touch.

Me: Molo, makazi? "I find myself responding to her

She smiled and placed her hand on my face, "It's been so long since I wanted to reach out to you, but your mind has been too clouded to allow me in, "

Me: Andiqondi? "I frown as I keep speaking a language that I'm not familiar with is this Xhosa that I'm speaking so fluently, why is this happening?

Her: it's time to go home, it's time for you to reunite the two royal families together, your union will bring fruitful life to both kingdoms, so wake up my child your journey starts now "

Me: you speaking in riddles I don't understand, please make me understand Makhazi? "

Her: I'm Liyana Ramabela, I'm you and you are me ... look at yourself in the mirror and you will see my reflection ... "

I frown not sure what she was saying, I find myself kneeling by the river bank of a clear stream I look at my reflection in this water and I pop my eyes wide open as I see a Xhosa woman...no wait this reflection looks like me, she is wearing red Xhosa Traditional Umbhaco Dress and Doek, she has face art on her face, she smiles and speaks trough the reflection and also through me

Her: you see what I mean? "

Me: you look so much like me ... "I say as I run my hand on my face confusion was an understatement compared to what I feel now.

Her: ooh mntanani awusemhle ... wake up and honor us ... we are waiting for your union to happen "

I felt her kiss on my lip and just like that I shoot my eyes open and I realize that I'm in my bedroom, it was just a dream.

I seat up straight confused as hell, I made my way to the bathroom I looked at myself in the mirror and all I could see is the woman in my dream, my stomach rumbles, and I must be hungry, and decide to step into the closet put on some decent clothes and just when I was about to step out I remember that I need to wear a doek, I look for one but can't find any so I decided to take a huge long white scarf, this will do I walk out of my bedroom wrapping the scarf around my head,

" OOH, so I'm the one to blame? ... Mangalisa Liyana has been leaving a lie her entire life and just because I told her the truth about her identity so I'm the one to blame ...hhayi ungazinginyela wena " I froze as I overhead Ntsika voice speak with so much rage on the other room

"it was not your place or should I say n rot the right time! ... she is pregnant and you busy stressing her with this identity bullshit ... weddings and lord what other crap is waiting for her in this place ... lord knows my sister was better off without you! "Mangalisa shoot back.
