The Bala place

Sindiswa and Lihle decided to go to Dumile's place as they were so concerned about Mbali's whereabouts especially when they saw that cheetah lying dead on the ground ,where Mbali was supposed to be living in ;they knocked and Dumile opened for them
Dumile:Sindiswa?ubekwa yintoni apha?(Sindiswa?what are you doing here?)
Sindi:Hawu Dumile ,singangena?(Geez Dumile ,may we get inside?)
Dumile:Ohhh siphi isimilo sam ,ngenani(Ohhh where are my manners ,get in)
Sindiswa and Lihle got inside ,Lihle was so scared and so worried about Mbali ,she was even shaking ,she couldn't even breathe properly as she thought about Mbali over and over again ,Sindiswa was hurt when she saw Thantaswa here ,she didn't want Dumile to move on ,she wanted him to wait for her.
Thanti:(Stood up)Wena lo uzithweleyo izohlala apha sisi ,inoba unjani ukudinwa(You pregnant lady come sit in my sit ,surely you're tired)
Sindiswa:(Took a sit) Ngiyabonga sisi(Thank you)
Lihle took a sit too and Dumile fetched some chairs from Ayabonga's hut and he found Ayabonga there
Dumile:Nyana(Son)
Aya:Tata ,kutheni wazothatha izitulo nje ,sinendwendwe okanye ufuna ukuchaza usis' Thanti?(Laughed)(Dad ,why are you taking those chairs ,we have visitors or you want to impress Thanti?)
Dumile:(Laughed as well) Uyaphapha kanene wena ,ingathi uyalibala ukuba ndimdala kuwe kwedini , sinendwendwe (You're forward I see ,you tend to forget that I'm your father boy ,we have visitors)
Aya:Ndwendwe?ngobani abo?(Visitors?who are they?)
Dumile:Ngumama wakho andazi ukuba uhamba nabani ke mna(It's your mother and some lady I don't know)
Aya:Ohhh
Dumile:Awufuni kuhlala nathi ngoba ndiyacinga ukuba uzobona wena uSindi(Don't you want to join us because I think Sindi cane to see you)
Aya:Masambe ke(Let's go then)
He stood up and helped his father with the chairs and took one for himself
Dumile:Yintoni ingathi awunamdla nje nyana(You seem like you're not even interested son)
Aya:Andinawo kakade umdla tata ,ndisayiqhela lento yokuba uSindi ngumama wam ,andikakamxoleli ncam ndisafuna ixesha nje lokuba ndiyamkele yonke nje lento ,kaloku khumbula tata ukuba lento andenze yona ibuhlungu kwaye ayixoleleki ,ndiyazama ke phofu ukungambonisi kuba yiyo indlela endiyibona  ingathi isilungele mna naye nokuba indilungele ,ndicela ungandivi kakubi tata(I'm not interested dad ,I'm still adapting to this thing of Sindi being my mother ,I haven't quite forgiven her  yet I just still need some time so that I can accept this ,remember dad that what she did to me is painful and it's not forgivable ,I'm trying to not show her how I truly feel because I think it's best that way for the both of us and it's best for me too ,please don't get me wrong)
Dumile:(Sighed heavily)Hayi andikuvi kakubi Bonga nyana kwaye andiyigxeki indlela oziva ngayo ,kodwa ke ndiyakucebisa ukuba uthethile naye uSindiswa ngendlela oziva ngayo kaloku kuba loo nto izakunceda kwaye izakunceda naye ,ewe andali ibuhlungu into akwenze yona kodwa(I understand you Bonga my son and I'm not judging the way you feel about this ,but then I advise you to talk to Sindiswa about how you feel because this will help you and her ,yes I admit that what she did to you is painful but) look at the bright side ,she's here and ready to fix things with you ,these things take time ,you guys need to take some baby steps and everything is going to be just fine ,I promise
Aya:Ndizayizama lento uyicebisayo tata ,hayi ngoku kodwa kuba ndisafuna nje ixesha lokuba ndikhe ndizicinge kakuhle(I'll try doing that dad but not now because I still want sometime to think things through and process them)
Dumile:Uvakele nyana ,masambe ke bangade bakrokre(I hear you son ,let's get going before they get suspicious)
They then joined the others and gave everyone a sit
Sindi:Ngane yam ,woza kumama(My child ,come to your mother)
Ayabonga did so and hugged his mother ,Sindi then kissed his cheeks
Thanti:Wasuke wamenza elona sana elibomvu kengoku(And you treat him like a newborn baby)
Aya:(Laughed)Uyambona Kanti (You see her)
Sindi:Hawu phela uyohlezi eyingane encane kumina uAya(He'll always be a child to me)
They then took sits
Dumile:Nize ngantoni khona apha Sindi okanye ubuzobona uBonga?(What brings you here Sindi or you came to see Bonga?)
Sindi:Ngaphambi kokuthi ngisho into engize ngayo lana ngicela ukunazisa lomuntu engihamba naye.Lo wu Nolihle kepha simbiza ngoLihle ,wusisi wam omncane kunam ,wuye lo Dumile bengik'tshela ngaye ukuthi akafani nhlobo nathi (Before I tell you what brings me here I'd like to introduce this lady over here.This is Nolihle but we call her Lihle ,she's my younger sister ,she's the one I told you about that she's different from my family)
Dumile:Ohhh(Shook her hand)Sivuyela ukukwazi sisi(It's such an honour to know you)
Lihle:(Smiled)Ngiyabonga bhuti ,sawubona Ayabonga(Thank you sir ,hello Ayabonga)
Aya:(Smiled back)Molo ncinci(Hey aunt)
Dumile:Thetha ke Sindi ,uze ngantoni?(Talk Sindi then ,what brings you here?)
Sindi:Ngicela ungincede Dumile ,uMbali udukile futhi sicabanga ukuthi unoZingisa la akhona(Please help me Dumile ,Mbali is missing and I think she's with Zingisa wherever she is)
Thanti stood up and prepared some food
Dumile:Ulahleke nini?(When did she go missing?)
Lihle:Anginaso isiqiniseko sokuthi uduke nini kepha ngigcine ukumbona izolo ebusuku(I'm not sure about when did she go missing but I last saw her last night)
Dumile:Andiyiva yonke lento niyithethayo mna ,ulahleka njani uAmahle kodwa izindlu zasebukhosini zihlale zigadiwe nje?(I don't understand this ,how did Amahle go missing meanwhile royal houses have tight security)
Sindi:Inkinga ilapho ,ubaba umxoshile uMbali uLihle wamfunela indawo yokulala kepha manje akasekho kuleyo ndawo yakhe futhi izingubo zakhe zikhona futhi ziphelele ,ngicela ungabuzi isizathu sokuthi axoshwe(That's where the problem is ,my father kicked Mbali out of the kingdom then Lihle got her a place she can spend the night in but now she's not there and all her clothes are there ,please don't ask me the reason behind her being banned)
Dumile:Bengeke ndibuze kakade ,ndizoya kuZingisa okanye ndithume uAyabonga ukuba ayomfuna uZingisa ukwenzele azoza apha asichazele ke ukuba uAmahle unaye okanye hayi(I wasn't going to ask ,I'll go to Zingisa or ask Ayabonga to go to him and call him so that Zingisa can come and tell us about Amahle's whereabouts)
Sindi:Siyabonga Dumile(Thank you Dumile)
Thantaswa served them food and took a sit too
Sindi:Siyabonga sisi ,awushadile noZingisa wena?(Thank you ma'am ,aren't you married to Zingisa?)
Thanti:(Cleared her throat)Hayi ndiyabona iindaba ziyathandwa kodwa ke hayi mna noZingisa sohlukene nje(No I see that people really love people's news but then no me and Zingisa got divorced)
Sindi:Ohhh wavele wabona ukuthi kungcono uzithi Dumile ,hawu uyashesha bo(Ohhh I see that you chose to be with Dumile now ,no you have a fast pace)
Ayabonga just choked on his saliva and laughed a little as he saw that his mother over here was jealous
Dumile:Hayibo Sindiswa!(Geez Sindiswa!)
Thanti:No let me handle this Dumile(Turned to Sindi)Sisi ungandiqheli kakubi ,hayi ukuba ndisuke kuZingisa ndaya kuDumile ,uDumile ngumhlobo wam kwaye ke ayonto imbi into yokuba ndisuke kulo ndiye komnye ikakhulukazi xa uDumile endiphatha kakuhle(Don't get dirty with me lady ,not that I moved from Zingisa to Dumile ,Dumile is my friend and it's not a bad thing if I moved from this person to that person because Dumile treats me good)
Dumile:Kwanele ngoku ,ndicela sityeni ngoxolo(Okay it's enough now ,may we please in peace)
Sindi:Cha ungangizwa kabi sisi ,bengingalwi mina besengisho nje(No don't get me wrong lady ,I wasn't trying to fight with you I was just saying)
Thanti:Ezinye izinto ingase uhlale nazo ungazithethi kuba uzakuziphoxisa ngabantu mntasekhaya kwaye le nam bendingeke ndilwe nawe sisi ,soze ndizohlisele isithunzi ngolohlobo ,ndicela sithethe ngenye into(Some things aren't meant to be said because if you say them you might get swore by other people my dear and I wouldn't even fight with you lady ,I don't want to tarnish my dignity like that ,may we please change the topic)
Sindi:(Gave her a death stare)Good idea ,let's talk about something else
Thanti:NingoNdlovu ne?(You are the Ndlovu's right?)
Lihle:Yebo(Yes)
Thanti:Yhoo hehake isibindi senu sokuza endaweni yotshaba lwenu nisithathaphi?anoyiki ukuba nizakufa okanye.....?(Yhoo the audacity that you have to come here ,I mean aren't you scared that you'll die here or.......?)
Sindi:Phela mina nginengane lana sisi ,anginayo nje i'choice ,nakhona sizele udaba olub'cayi Kabi lana engithemba ukuthi uluzwile(I have a child here sis' so I don't have a choice than to come and check up on him ,and besides we came for serious business here that I believe that you also heard about)
Thanti:Hayi khona ndiluvile xa benithetha apha ,ke ngoku losisi wenu olahlekileyo nguye lo uthandana noZingisa?(No I heard about it when you guys were talking here ,so your missing sister is the one that is in a relationship with Zingisa?)
Sindi:Hayi cha uyabuza bo ,yebo wuye ikhona inkinga mhlampe?(No you ask a lot of questions ,yes it is her ,is there a problem perhaps?)
Thanti:Hebantu!iyandothusa mna ke lendaba kuba kaloku uthandana njani notshaba lwakho ibenzima xa olutshaba lwakho lubulele ubhuti wakho okanye lento ayiyo kuwe okanye khange nibhujelwe ngubhuti nina?(People!this surprises me because how can a person fall in love with their enemy and worse part is that ,that enemy is the one that killed your brother or whatever that boy was to you all)
Sindi and Lihle covered their mouths and so did Ayabonga ,he didn't know about this ,only Dumile knew about it and he told Thantaswa about it.
Dumile:(Popped his eyes out)Thantaswa!!!
Thanti:Hayibo abazi kanti ,yhoo uxolo(Geez they didn't know ,yhoo I'm sorry)
Sindi:Uthi kwenzenjani?(What did you just say?)
Lihle:Angizwanga!!!(Pardon me!!!)
Dumile:Ningamhoyi uThanti Sindiswa singayithetha kakuhle le nto!(Don't mind Thanti Sindiswa ,we can talk about this!)
Sindi:All along that bastard is the one that killed my brother ,all along(Stood up)then you tell me to calm down we can talk about this ,there's nothing to talk about here ,now my sister is madly in love with this bastard that killed our brother and this is the only time we find out about this ,what the hell?!
Lihle:(Tears fell down her cheeks)UMbali ngeke ayithathe kahle lento ,emuva kwezinto adlule kuzo ngenxa kaZingisa(Mbali won't take this well ,after everything she went through because of Zingisa)she's going to break
Ayabonga:Mama ndicela wehlise umoya ,lento yakho ayimlungelanga lomntwana umthweleyo ,ndiyakucela(Mom please calm down ,this is not good for the child , please)
Sindi:Bowuzongitshela nini Dumile?!(When were you going to tell me this Dumile?)
Dumile:Ndicela wehlise umoya mama kaAyabonga ,ndiyakucela(Please calm down Ayabonga's mother ,please)
Sindiswa took a sit
Sindi:Khuluma ke!(Talk then!)
Thanti:Ngaphambi kokuba ethethile uDumile ,ndicela uxolo hle bendingazi ukuba anazi ,nindixoleleni hle(Before Dumile talks ,I'd like to apologise ,I didn't know that you don't know about this ,please forgive me)
Dumile:Thantaswa ndicela uthule ,wonile kwanele!(He then sighed heavily)Sindiswa nawe Lihle ,bengeke ndikwazi ukunixelela into engaka mna kwaye endingabandakanyanga kuyo ,le nto bekufuneka kwanani ningayazi nje Kube yimfihlo kuni ,umntu onelungelo lokuyazi lento nguAmahle kuphela Kuba kunguye othandana noZingisa kwaye uAmahle akazuxelelwa ngomnye umntu ,uzakuxelelwa sisithandwa esi sakhe(Thantaswa please shut up ,you messed up already!Sindiswa and Lihle ,I couldn't tell you such a thing meanwhile it doesn't include me ,you too aren't allowed to know about this ,the person who needs to know about this it's Amahle only because she's the one who's in a relationship with Zingisa and Amahle won't be told by anyone else besides Zingisa)
Sindi:Usangene!asinalungelo kanjan kuwumfo wethu Dumile?!(You're crazy!how aren't we allowed meanwhile he was our brother Dumile?!)
Lihle:Yingakho ubaba engayifuni lento kaMbali noZingisa(That's why dad doesn't approve Mbali and Zingisa's relationship)
Dumile:Sindiswa thetha kakuhle ndiyaqonda ukuba unomsindo kodwa ziphathe ,wena Lihle ,ewe tata wakho akayifuni lento yabo ngenxa yesosizathu nezinye ke izizathu kodwa zibuzeni ukuba kutheni engamxelelanga uAmahle into yokuba uZingisa nguye obulele ubhuti wenu?uyazi ukuba iimfihlo ezininzi zizakuvela kwaye ezomfihlo zingalubhubhisa usapho lwenu ,zininzi izinto utata wenu azenzileyo ezenza ukuba kubekho lengxabano ikhoyo phakathi kwethu nani ,utata wenu oko wangumntu onochuku nje ,kodwa zonke ezimfihlo zizovezwa yilemfihlo mhla uZingisa esazisa uAmahle ngalomba ,uthando lukaZingisa noAmahle lulo oluzakuzisa ukuthula noxolo kwezindawo(Sindiswa speak in a polite manner ,I get that you're angry but speak politely ,and you Lihle ,yes your father  doesn't approve their relationship because of this reason and other reasons that I can't mention but ask yourself this ,why didn't he tell Amahle about this?it's because he knew that many secrets will be revealed and those secrets will destroy your family ,there are many things that your father did that created a feud between our kingdom and yours ,your father doesn't like peace at all ,but then every secret will be revealed once this one is revealed by Zingisa when he decides to tell Amahle ,Zingisa and Amahle's love will bring peace within the kingdoms)
Lihle:Angiyizwa yonke mina nje lento , ubaba ngathi iningi into ayenzayo esingayazi(I don't get it ,there's a lot that our father does that we don't even know)
Sindi:But you should've told me
Dumile:Uxolo kodwa(I'm sorry but)that's not my place
A knock disturbed them and Ayabonga opened
Aya:Ncinci?!(Aunt?)
Mbali:Bengisacela ukungena bandla(May I please get inside)
Ayabonga let her in ,immediately when she got inside the house her  sisters hugged her so tight ,Sindiswa even kissed her cheek
Sindi:Uphumaphi Mbali besikhathazekile ngawe?(Where do you come from Mbali we've been worried sick about?)
Mbali:(Tears fell down her cheeks and she sighed)Ngicela ukuhlala phantsi(May I please sit down)
Ayabonga gave her his sit and chose to stand on his feet
Dumile:Bonga nyana ,mphe amanzi asele(Bonga son ,give her water to drink)
Ayabonga did just that and Mbali drank the water shaking
Sindi:Mbali uphumaphi?ubukuphi?ukhalelani?kwenzenjani Mbali khuluma nosisi wakho(Mbali where have you been?where were you?why are you crying?What's going on Mbali talk to me ,talk to your sister)
Mbali just sighed ,she was too heart broken and scared ,she asked herself that ,why is everything such a mess
Lihle:Musa ukumphoqa nawe Sindi ,muphe iskhathi uzokhuluma(Don't force her Sindi ,give her some time)
Dumile:Unyanisile uLihle Sindi ,mphe nje ixesha(Turned to Mbali)awufuni ukucambalala okanye ukutya?(Lihle is right Sindi ,give her some time*don't you want to take a nap or eat something?)
Mbali:Bengisacela ukulala(May I just take a nap)
Dumile then nodded and helped her up ,then she put her on his bed so that she can take a nap and then he joined the others
Dumile:Ndicinga ukuba uAmahle uhlukumezekile mna ,ayikho kaloku into enje(I think she got abused)
Sindi: Uhlukumezekile?uhlukumezeke kanjan?(Abused?abused how?)
Dumile:Andingetsho kodwa uhlukumezekile ,indlela ayiyo ubonakala ingathi uhlukumezekile ,ndikhathazekile mna ngoku ,inoba uphi uZingisa ngoba hayi ibukhuni lento(I can't tell but she got abused ,the way she is she looks abused ,I'm worried about her now ,I wonder where Zingisa is  because this needs him as it is hard)
Sindi:Angimfuni loyo duze nosisi wam ,angimfuni ngisho eduze kwam noLihle!(I don't want her near my sister ,I don't even want him near me or Lihle!)
Dumile:Senzima ngoba uAmahle noZingisa ngeke bohlukane ikakhulukazi bohlaniswe nguwe(Thats tough because Amahle and Zingisa won't break up especially not because of you)
Sindi:Mxm(Rolled her eyes)
Thanti:Ixesha limkile ,ndiyindlela ke mawethu(Time flies ,let me go back home people)
Dumile:Sowuyahamba?masambe ndikukhaphe(You're leaving?let me walk you out)
Thanti:Hayi asikho isidingo sokuba wenze oko ,unendwendwe kwaye kufuneka uzihoyile ,senditsho ukuba ndiyazi ekhaya ,ndizoza ksasa wethu(No there's no need for you to do so ,you have visitors that you need to take care off ,I mean I know where my home is ,I'll see you tomorrow)
Dumile:Hayi andizuva ngawe ,masambe(No I won't listen to you ,let's go)
Thanti:Kulungile ke ,masambe ,unenkani kanene wena(Okay then ,let's go ,you're stubborn I see)
They then got on their way ,Sindiswa was so jealous she even peeped out the window
Aya:Hayi mama yhuu!(No mom yhuu!)
Sindi:Yini?(What?)
Lihle and Ayabonga laughed
Aya:Relax mom ,they ain't dating
Sindi:Benzani ke?(What are they doing then?)
Aya:Andazi kodwa abathandani(I don't know but they ain't dating)
Dumile then came back after a few minutes
Dumile:Kengoku kuzothiwani?(What's going to happen now?)
Sindi:Mayelana?(About?)
Dumile:Nizolala apha okanye?(Are you guys going to sleep here or?)
Sindi:Ungakhathazeki sizohamba makeqeda ukuvuka uMbali (Don't worry we'll leave when Mbali wakes up)
Dumile:Andiwuboni njengombono omhle loyo ,kufuneka uZingisa embonile uAmahle kuqala bathethe(I don't think that's a good idea ,Zingisa needs to see Mbali first so that they can talk)
Sindi:Angimfuni loyo duze noMbali Dumile(I don't want him near Mbali Dumile)
Dumile:Ndiyayiqonda lonto kodwa kufuneka yenzekile(I understand that but it has to happen)
Lihle:Sindi uMbali uyakudinga loku ,ngicela sibeke yonke le nto akayizwe namhlanje eceleni ,sibeke uMbali kqala(Sindi Mbali needs this ,please let's put what we heard today aside ,and put Mbali first)
Sindi:Akamlungelanga uMbali lomuntu (He's not good for Mbali)
Lihle:Asikwazi loko Sindi ,ngicela siyekele ukukhuluma ngaloku nje ,ngiyak'cela(We don't know that yet Sindi ,can we just stop talking about this please )
Dumile:Unyanisile uLihle ,uAmahle uza kqala ngoku(Lihle is right ,Amahle comes first now)
Sindi just drank her water and kept quiet ,she didn't have any more power to fight nor argue ,it felt pointless because she could see that she was just being selfish and that her view won't be put into mind as they still see Zingisa as Mbali's pillar of strength which it seemed like it even to her judging from how Mbali has been behaving when she wasn't in Zingisa's presence and when she was behaving around him.
Dumile:Bonga ,hamba uyobiza uZingisa umxelele ukuba kubalulekile ,kungoAmahle(Bonga ,go call Zingisa and tell him it's urgent ,it's about Amahle)
Ayabonga nodded and went to Radebe's place
