Buhle Pov:
These boys are filthy rich because wow. First, it was the shopping, the bakkie, the SUV, flying first class, and now the Mercedes 4×4. I wonder where do they get this amount of money.
We're driving to go get food then we'll be going to ULundi. Something doesn't sit right in my spirit for some odd reason. I feel calm and at peace but still restless like something is clawing at my spirit. I feel like idlozi lam is trying to tell me something but I can't decipher what it is. Maybe as time goes by it'll show itself.
Sibonelo: Mama, we're here.
Me: Oh.
Nkosenye: Hlehle, you good?
Me: Yes I'm okay.
Nkosenye: Okay then stop zoning out on us.
Me: Sorry. I'm just nervous.
Sibonelo: Don't worry. They'll love you as much as I do.
I smile at Sibonelo and we walk into the fish and chips. Nkosenye looks excited, it's as if he is not a Zulu man. The moment we step in, it's all eyes on us. Hau? Everyone in the store gives the boys a nod out of respect, even old men. This is new.
Sibonelo: What do you want baby?
Me: Hot chips, fish, russain and atchar.
Nkosenye: Ne garlic what what and coke.
Sibonelo walks away and orders the food.
Nkosenye: And 8 buns.
Sibonelo turns and glares at Nkosenye, Nkosenye just gives him the middle finger and smiles at me.
Buhle: You like annoying him neh?
Nkosenye: Yes, he is too stiff.
I let out a laugh and Nkosenye threw his hand over my shoulder. Hau? Sibonelo turns from the till and comes bolting at us.
Sibonelo: Suka.
He says this looking at me but he is speaking to Nkosenye.
Me: Jealous much?
He just stares at me and sits next to me. After 2 minutes or so our food gets served to us. We walk out of the place and start our journey again. Me and Nkosenye dig into our food.
Me: Ngema, you want some?
He smiles at this question but proceeds to shake his head.
Sibonelo: Cha mama.
Me: Oh well. How long is the drive?
Sibonelo: We're 45 minutes away.
Me: Okay.
After eating 2 rolls, I'm full but Nkosenye is still diving in like it's his last meal. I turn to face the window and end up dosing off.
Sibonelo: Mama wake up. We are 10 minutes away.
I open my eyes and see we're driving up a hill. After a few minutes, we pull up to a big black gate. Is this their home? Sibonelo gets out and does a few things on the keypad then the gate opens, revealing a huge yard with a big house in the middle and huts that are as big as houses around it.
Me: Wow.
I'm in awe. I can see cattle in the distance. We drive up the long driveway and it suddenly starts to rain heavily. I can feel my joints back and ankles tense up. I start burping and feel myself getting emotional.
Sibonelo: Mama are you okay?
Me: Yes.
I start sobbing hysterically and Sibonelo speeds up.
Nkosenye: Buhle what's wrong?
I can't answer him, I can't open my eyes.
The car comes to an abrupt stop and Sibonelo jumps out. I hear him open my door and carry me bridal style.
Sibonelo: Hamba uyobiza uMkhulu Nkosenye!!
Nkosenye jumps out and goes to call whoever.
Sibonelo: Mkhulu. I don't know what's wrong.
Mkhulu: Put her on the grass.
Sibonelo lays me on the grass and I'm still sobbing, I can hear voices in my head, a drum, and some water.
Mkhulu places his index finger on my forehead and suddenly I feel calm. I feel like I'm slipping away but it's not painful.
Mkhulu: Kudala sikulindile Thingo.
That's the last thing I hear before it goes black.
