My name is Zingisa Radebe ,I'm 28 years of age.I'm located in Gqeberha in the Xhosa Kingdom named emaDwaleni ,I'm a prince who is soon to be king.My description is that I'm a little bit taller ,dark and handsome sort of ,mascular ,have a dimple at my left cheek ,beautiful someone that charms the ladies ,that's why I'm married to 3 beautiful wives but Nthabiseng who is my 3rd wife is the most beautiful one.Well out of my 3 wives ,no one owns my heart but Amahle does ,I really love that lady ,I'm willing to fix myself for her and just change for her ,nothing much ,but firstly I will have to divorce with my wives.So after she left angry like that ,I decided to go to Dumile's house as he asked me to stop by his house after my meeting with Amahle.So I got to his house and knocked ,his son ,Ayabonga ,opened the door for me and I got inside and took a sit.
Dumile:Mfondini osemathandweni(Gone boy)(turned to Ayabonga)Khawusibethise ngomoya Ayabonga(Excuse us Ayabonga)
Ayabonga did so.
Zingisa:Hayi mfondini ndixelele ngomama kaAyabonga ,ndizele ezo ndaba apha mna mfo kaBala(No Dawg tell me about Ayabonga's mother ,I came here for those news Bala)
Dumile:(laughed)Uyazithanda iindaba Zingisa mfondini yhini!kodwa andikubizelanga lo nto apha ,kukho into engandihlalanga kakuhle apha(You really love news Zingisa Dawg geez!but I didn't call you here for that ,there's something bothering me here)
Zingisa:(I gave him a puzzled face)Yintoni lo nto Du?ungafi ndikhona(What's that Du?don't die while I'm here)
Dumile:(Laughed)Ayolixesha lokuhleka eli ,Zingisa mfo kaBhungani uyadlalwa apha yilenzwakazi yakho(This is not the time for jokes ,Zingisa Bhungani you're being played here)
Zingisa:Uthetha ngantoni Dumile?(What are you talking about Dumile?)
Dumile:Elankazana ayongu Amahle Zungu mfondini ,ngu Ndlovu lamntu (That girl is not Amahle Zungu dawg ,she's a Ndlovu)
Zingisa:(My heart started beating fast)Uyithethiswa yintoni lo nto?(what makes you say that?)
Dumile:(Let out a huge sigh)USindi wakuxelela ukuba uAmahle wabhubha nje ,ngoku kutheni wanguthonqo?kwanto ebekuxelela yona lamntu ,ebekuxokisela ,akho Amahle Zungu apha ,nguNdlovu lo(Sind told you that Amahle died ,so why are you acting like a fool?everything that lady told you was a lie ,there's no Amahle Zungu here ,that's a Ndlovu)
Zingisa:Ewe ndiyazi ayongu Amahle kodwa kutheni uzacinga nguNdlovu mfondini? ,hayi sucinga ngolohlobo (Yes I knew that she's not Amahle but why do you think she's a Ndlovu dawg?no don't think like that)
Dumile:(He just gave me a straight face with an eyebrow raised up)Lamntu ngathi liwele lika Sindi mfondini ,bayafana ,akhonto abohluke ngayo qha uSindi unomzimba kunaye ,kwaye uSindi watsho kum ukuba bonke kowabo bayazifanela ngaphandle komntu omnye(That girl looks alike with Sindi dawg ,they are basically twins ,they don't differ its just that Sindi is thicker than her ,and Sindi once told me that in her family they all look the same except for one person)
Zingisa:UMkhokeli ukhe wayitsho lento kum yokuba lomntu ngahle usuka kwaNdlovu kodwa ebengena bungqina ,nawe kanye awunabo ubungqina ,abantu abaninzi bayafana apha phandle(Mkhokeli once told me that this lady is from the Ndlovus but he didn't have proof of that ,many people look familiar with others)
Dumile:Uqale nini ukuba sis'bhanxa Zingisa?(When did you start being a fool Zingisa?)
Zingisa:Hayi Dumile mfondini ,andingothonqo , ndiyamthanda lomntu ,kodwa ndizayilandela lento yenu(No Dumile dawg ,I'm not a fool ,I love this person ,but I'll investigate this)
Dumile:Mxm!ndikukhaphe okanye uzazihambela?(Mxm!should I accompany you or you'll walk by your own?)
I didn't even respond his question ,instead I got out of his hut and headed back to Zamahle ,I couldn't go home ,I needed to catch some breeze ,I can't believe that Amahle has been lying to me ,it makes sense though but my heart doesn't want to accept that Amahle doesn't love me ,how could she?If she's a Ndlovu ,it means she is sent by Gatsheni ,but those people killed my mother and my uncle ,it can't be possible ,they just can't avenge one person meanwhile they killed two of my family members but heyyy they are capable of doing that.I can't believe I fell in love with an enemy.Isikhuni sibuya ngomkhwezeli(What comes around ,goes around) ,this is just karma.My heart is so broken ,and what I hate most is that I still love this lady and I still want to see her and just be with her ,I'm so angry right now and so hurt.I arrived there and went to the river.
Zingisa:Mama kutheni uzakuvuma kwenzeke oku kum? ,yini le engaka ofuna ukundibonisa yona?ndicela undikhusele njengoba ndizifaka emgodini onzulu ,ndikhusele ,ndikhanyisele indlela ,inkulu into ezokwenzeka apha(Mom why do you allow this to happen to me?,what is it that you want me to see?please protect me as I enter a dark deep hole ,protect me ,lighten my path ,there's a lot that's going to happen here)
After I said that ,I saw a person who was lying dead abroad the river ,I rushed to her as she looked so lifeless.When I got there I saw that it was Amahle ,I started panicking and I shook her
Zingisa: Amahle?!s'thandwa sam?!ndiyakucela bhabha ndicela uvuke ,ndifuna sithethe S'thandwa sam ,Amahle maRn!!(Amahle?!my love?!please baby please wake up ,I want us to talk my love ,Amahle man!!)
My tears betrayed me ,they couldn't stop falling ,I can't lose the love of my life ,I love her ,and what was she doing here?Something in me told me that I should carry her to the river and I did so ,I checked her pulse ,pheeew she's still alive ,she just fainted.I poured water on her face and she opened her eyes ,slowly ,her eyes were glitching and her left hand was shaking ,I kissed her so passionately.
Zingisa:Kutheni undothusa olohlobo?ungaphinde wenze lento oyenzile Mahle(Why would you scare me like that?don't do what you did Mahle)
Amahle:Zingisa ,ngicela ungiyekele........ngicela usuke emehlweni wam ngaphambi kokuthi ngikusakaze ngempama(Zingisa ,please leave me alone........ please move away from my eyes before I also you hard)
Zingisa:Hayibo ,yintoni Amahle?(Geez ,what's the matter Amahle?)
She just started crying and pushing me
Amahle:Ngiyekele Zingisa ,hamba(Leave me alone Zingisa ,leave)
Zingisa:Ayibuhlungu lento yakho Kuba andiyi ndawo ungekandixeleli ukuba kuqhubekani ngawe kwaye kufuneka sithethile(Too bad because I'm not going anywhere till you tell me what's going on with you and I want us to talk)
Amahle:Talk about what?!I don't want to talk to you(She then stood up and I did so too)
Zingisa:Stop it with the drama Amahle!you have no right to speak to me like that!
Amahle:Or what Zingisa?!you lied to me ,you're making me your whore ,you leave you wives home all alone just to see me ,then you lie to me!!
Zingisa:(What the hell?where did she hear that?)What?!where did you get that from?!
Amahle:It doesn't matter anymore ,we are done ,I can't be with a person who is married!!
No I can't lose her ,I don't want to lose her ,so when she was busy yelling I kissed her and she slapped me
Amahle:We are done ,D O N E , done ,I don't want you anymore!.
Zingisa:(I held her right hand)Ndiyakucela Amahle ,singathetha ngalento(Please Amahle ,we can talk about this)
Amahle:There's nothing we can possibly talk about!(Removed her hand from mine forcefully)
Zingisa:Baby ,baby ,I can divorce them today ,now ,we can go home and I divorce them ,but please don't leave me ,I love you ,I love you only (I kneeled with one leg)Amahle ,s'thandwa sam ndicela unditshate ,ndiyakucela(Amahle my love ,please marry me ,please)
She just froze there ,I guess what I did was exotic but I can't lose her ,I can't ,I love her ,and yes I choose her ,she's the one for me ,I don't care whether she's my enemy but I choose her ,even if I die ,even she kills me ,I don't care ,I'll be dying for love ,I live for her and I'm happy in her presence.
Amahle:Zingisa ,no you can't marry me ,you have wives and you don't know me
Zingisa:I will divorce them now ,today when I get back home ,please baby don't leave me ,please........I know that you ain't you but we can talk about this please baby ,please!
Amahle:Zingisa!no I can't ,we can't
Zingisa:Why?why Amahle ,ndiyakucela nje ,s'thandwa sam ndiyakucela ,ndiyakuthanda nawe uyandithanda ,siyathandana(,I beg you my love please ,I love you and you love me too ,we love each other)
Amahle:Zingisa ubaba uzongibulala ,ubaba uzosibulala ,uzongixosha esigodini sakwa Zulu ,kwamele iphele lento yam nawe Zingisa ,ngiyisitha sakho mina ,ngiwuNdlovu Zingisa(Zingisa my father will kill me ,he'll kill us ,he'll kick me out of the Zulu Kingdom ,we have to end this Zingisa ,I'm your enemy ,I'm a Ndlovu Zingisa)
Person:Yebo ngizonibulala!(Yes I'll kill you both)
We then turned and we saw Gatsheni and some people I don't know ,I only noticed Sindi and Gatsheni
Amahle:Baba!(Dad!)(Her eyes popped out like she just saw a ghost)
Gatsheni took his spear and ran towards me ,it cut deep into my thigh ,I was groaning in pain ,I fell ,and held the bruise groaning in pain
Amahle:Baba!baba wenzeni?Ma khuluma ,Lihle ,Sindi khulumani!(Dad!dad what have you done?Ma say something ,Lihle ,Sindi talk!)
She ran towards me and her father grabbed her hand
Amahle:(Removing her hand but failing and her mother grabbed her other hand)Ma ,ngiyekeleni ,Zingisa!Baba ngiyekele ,Zingisa!Zingisa!Zingisa ,Lihle sizani uZingisa ,Zingisa!(Ma ,let me go ,Zingisa!Dad let me go ,Zingisa!Zingisa!Zingisa ,Lihle help Zingisa ,Zingisa!)
She was crying in pain and they left me there bleeding ,I was in pain too ,my heart ached and my thigh ached so bad ,I was groaning in pain ,I tried standing up ,held my thigh so that it will stop bleeding that much ,I walked home in pain ,I was walking so slowly but I finally arrived and Nthabiseng ran towards me and helped to get inside the yard.
Nthabi:Zingisa?what happened?
Zingisa:Khawundise endlini uyeke ukundibuza imibuzo engapheliyo apha!(Take me to the house and stop asking me plenty of questions here!)
She just kept quiet and everyone rushed to me ,asking me plenty of questions about what happened to me till my father kicked them out of the house and took me to his bed ,I was shocked to see my aunt there.
Nozibele:Zingisa ,kutheni wanje?(Zingisa ,why are you like this?)
Zingisa:Ndiwile Kanti ndiwele kwikhuni(I fell onto a branch)
Radebe:Dade ,yilento yakhe yokuhamba ebusuku ,jonga ngoku wonzakele(Sister ,it's because he roams around at night ,look at him now he's hurt)
Nozibele:(Patching my wound and wrapped it with a cloth)Zingisa ndiva kuthiwa awusahloniphi abafazi bakho(Zingisa I heard that you don't respect your wives anymore)
Zingisa:Andisawufuni lomendo mna ngoku ,ndimfumene umntu oluncumo lwam ,andifuni abe ngumfazi wesine ,ndifuna abe ngumfazi wam wokuqala nowokugqibela(I don't want this marriage anymore ,I found the love of my life ,I don't want to make her the 4th wife ,I want her to be my first and last)
Nozibele & Radebe:Huh?(They looked at each other)
Radebe:Ayizukwenzeka lonto mfondini!(That won't happen son)
