Insert 14:
Zobuhle
The flight to Durban was short but exciting. Iv never really left Johannesburg by plane before.
We got there and iv never seen so many guards in my life. It was like I was president or something.
Mothlagodi: You grinning
Me: is this your everyday life?
Mothlagodi: When am home yep.
Me: I see
Yamihle
I got home found my dad pissed and I knew its either my uncles messed up or something happened. I walked towards mom and chilled next to her as she grinned. Its all known that am a mommy girl and Mothlagodi is dad favourite and somehow that doesn’t bug me.
Ma: You early!!
Me: I missed you too much
Ma: i missed you too
Me: Don coming later, what did you do to dad?
Ma: The arranged a marriage for Mothlagodi.
Me: Oh lord no.
Ma: Yep and now his trying to un do it
Me: His going to kill them.
Ma: I know, they building relationships with Swaziland
Me: Why?
Ma: I have no idea.
Me: Well, you going to love Zobuhle. She is kind, smart, sweet and loves your son like there is no tomorrow but they both stupid about it.
Ma: The fact that she been around for more than a week means she understands him.
Me: Better than I mom and I grew up with him.
We laughed and Dad came by kissing my forehead.
Dad: you good?
Me: Yep.
Dad: Where you husband?
Me: His flying in later
Dad: Alright. His not abusive?
Me: Dad!!!
Dad: Am afraid these are things we have to ask.
Me: No dad, he doesn’t cheat, hit me or do anything that am not okay with.
Dad: good and if he does who you call
Me: You
Dad: Good. Now moving forward tell me everything about our future Queen
Motlhagodi
She was so nervous.
Me: you need to calm down you know.
Zobuhle: Am meeting the king and Queen for the first time.
Me: I know
Zobuhle: Am nervous
My phone vibrated and I took it out seeing a hi from a name I don’t even know. I deleted it and looked at Zobuhle.
Me: I think i have to delete this Instagram thing. Every now and then i get occasional hi
She laughed
Zobuhle: What you usually post?
Me: Nothing
Zobuhle: Than deactivate it and will open one with us both.
I gave her my phone to do what she talking about.
I can’t believe am so comfortable with her sharing things with her and doing things with her. She turned the phone and looked at me and kissed my cheek as she snapped.
Me: What that for?
Zobuhle: profile picture.
I looked at the picture and only I was visible and only a side view of her is showing.
Me: Only am visible.
Zobuhle: I know am not photogenic.
Me: I see.
She placed her legs on me and placed my hand on her thigh as she snapped... came out really nice. She posted it and wrote “ touch down Durban”
My phone was buzzing none stop.
Somewhere in Swazi
I got the notification and I felt a slow thud in my heart.
“ he can’t do this to me his my only hope”
I sent another “hi”
