It's been a long and tiring week for me ,it has just been the most depressing and sad week for me at a thought of me getting married to Palesa ,I haven't been going to places even when my father paid lobola I wasn't there people but surely he did that with Mkhokeli ,I've always been in this house with Zimkhitha bringing me food as I didn't want to be in the same room as my father.I've accepted the fact that I'll never be with Mbali ,and what hurts me most is that I'll never see her again and that I broke my promise to her again ,I just disappoint her over and over again ,it hurts people I tell you and I'm not feeling any better ,I look like a mess and smell like a mess and worst of all I am getting married to Palesa today and I don't even feel like it but then she's carrying my child so I have to act and pretend as if I'm okay with this whole thing
Zingisa:Mbali s'thandwa sam ndicela undixolele ,ndikuphoxile ndiyazi kodwa ndiphila nje ndiphilela wena noba ungekho ecaleni kwam kodwa ndiyohlala ndinawe ,ndicela uzikhusele kwaye uziphathe kakuhle mgcini wentliziyo yam ,ndiyakuthanda Mthiyane(Mbali my love please forgive me ,I know I've disappointed you but I'm alive because I'm living for you even though you ain't by my side but I'll always be there for you ,please protect yourself and take care of yourself my heart keeper ,I love you Mthiyane)
When I was still saying this ,I bathed and waited till Zimkhitha calls me because she promised to do so.A knock then disturbed and when I opened it was Dumile.
Zingisa:(Gave him a puzzled face)Du?
Dumile:Ndingangena mfondini?(May I come in man?)
Zingisa:Sure(Opened for him and he took a sit)uzofuna ntoni apha Du?(What are you doing here Du?)
Dumile:Ndizokujonga mfondini ,ndikhathazekile ngawe emva kokuba uMkhokeli endihlebele ngokuqhubekayo(I'm here to check up on you dawg ,I'm worried about you after Mkhokeli told me about what's happening)
Zingisa:(Sat opposite to him)Mfondini kunzima andazi noba libhadi eli okanye yintoni na(Dawg it's hard and I don't even know whether this is bad luck or what)
Dumile:Ngendiziva ngolohlobo nam ,ngoku uzakuthini mfondini ngayo yonke le nto?(I'd be feeling the same way too if I was in your shoes ,what are you going to do about all of this dawg?)
Zingisa:Ayikho into endizakuyenza mna mfondini ,ndizakumamela uRadebe qha(There's nothing that I'll do about this dawg ,I'll just carry on listening to Radebe)
Dumile:Uxolo mfondini ,andazi nokuba ndithini mna xa kunje ,ngoku uAmahle?(I'm sorry dawg ,I don't even know what to say to you when it is like this ,what about Amahle?)
Zingisa:What about her?
Dumile:Uzakuthini kuye?(What are you going to say to her?)
Zingisa:Angeke ndiphinde ndimbone uMbali mfondini ,ukuba ndiyombona nje okanye ndiye kuye ndiyohlala naye ,utata uzambulala ,kukho abantu abamgadile uMbali bathunyelwe nguye uRadebe(I'll never see Mbali again dawg ,if I go to see her or go to live with her ,dad will kill her and there are people guarding the place ,they are sent by Radebe)
Dumile:Yhoo mfondini ithi uyaxoka(Yhoo dawg tell me that you're lying)
Zingisa:Tu Du ,andixoki ,uRadebe ukhohlakele ngoku (I'm not Du ,I'm not lying ,Radebe is heartless now)
Dumile:Yhoo uMthi(Geez Mthi)
Zingisa:Andimfuni uPalesa mna mfondini(I don't want Palesa dawg)
Dumile:Ndiyazi kodwa nawe kutheni ubuleli naye kwasek'qaleni?(I know but why did you sleep with her in the first place?)
Zingisa:Temptations bro ,that girl is sexy
Dumile:(Laughed)Yena umile kakuhle kodwa hayi marn Zingisa(Yeah she is sexy but no Zingisa man)
Zingisa:Yhoo mfondini(Yhoo dawg)
Dumile:Ube right mfondini(Be alright dawg)
Zingisa:(Smiled)Enkosi mfondini(Thank you dawg)
Dumile then left me there ,people nothing's going to be okay and I'll never be okay.After some few minutes Zimkhitha came to call me.
Zimkhitha:Are you ready?
Zingisa:Andifuni ukuyenza lento mna Zimkhitha ,andizukwazi(I don't want to do this Zimkhitha ,I just can't)
Zimkhitha:(Hugged me tight) Ndiyazi ukuba kunzima kodwa kufuneka uyenzile lento ,ndiyakucela yeka ukucinga nzulu ngalento(I know this is hard but you have to do it ,please stop overthinking it)
She has never hugged me before ,this was what I was seeking for ,a warm tight hug
Zingisa:Enkosi dade(Thank you sis)
I then kissed her forehead
Zimkhitha:Don't you ever do that again
Zingisa:(Laughing)Hayibo ngoba kutheni?(Geez why?)
Zimkhitha:(Giggled)It's weird geez
I just poked her and we got going
Everyone was busy but dropped everything when I arrived ,I saw Nthabiseng there ,it's so strange to see her there and she looked cosy with some guy I don't even know but who cares?I just didn't think she will move on this quick ,I mean it has been a week since we broke up ,Thantaswa 2.0.Everyone took their sits ,everyone was looking beautiful and it was smelling nice ,the food ,too much meat people and fruits ,there's good in this despite the fact that I'm marrying someone I don't even love.And the person who got me married to my wives is the one who's going to help me with marrying Palesa but this lady is weird I tell you ,she prophecy things that you won't even believe ,I hope she won't prophecy anything today because all of her prophecies are just lies I'd say.So I stood next to her(Zondiwe)waiting for the so-called bride and she arrived with his brother holding her hand ,she was smiling and I don't even understand why she's even smiling because I'm hating this ,I can't even smile.Tau handed her to me and took a sit next to his wife Sindiswa who was giving me a nasty look but I understand but where the hell is Lihle?maybe she couldn't come.
Zondi:Sikho namhlanje bantu basemaDwaleni ngenxa yezithandani ezilapha phambi kwamehlo wethu ,ndiyathemba nikuvuyela ukuza kumtshato wenkosana le iphambi kwethu wesine nomama wosana lwakhe ,sikho apha Zingisa Radebe kunye nawe Palesa Mofokeng sizonibopha ngeqhina lomtshato ,silapha nje sizobhiyozela uthando lwenu nokuba sazi ukuba nizizithandani ,kengoko ke bambanani ngezandla nitsho umthandazo phakathi kwentliziyo zenu ,umthandazo omncinci nje wokuqhuba lomcimbi(We are here today people of maDwaleni because of the love birds that are infront of us ,I believe that you're are excited about the prince's wedding who goes by the name of Zingisa Radebe who is marrying Palesa Mofokeng ,we are here to get you guys married ,we are to celebrate your love and to acknowledge that you guys are partners ,please hold hands with each other and say a little prayer inside your hearts ,just a prayer to get this show on the road)
I hate this prayer thing because I don't even understand why am I supposed to pray for someone I don't even love but it's cool heyyy ,so I said a little prayer in my heart
”Dear God ,please walk with me in this dark cave that I'm walking through as I feel so lonely already and please make Mbali to forgive me and please protect her ,send your angels to protect her ,and lastly please heal me , amen”
I then opened my eyes and found Palesa staring at me ,I hate this girl and I can't even fake it.
Zondi:Imithandazo yenu ndiyathemba izakubusisa umtshato lo wenu(Turned to me)thetha indlela oziva ngayo ngalenzwakazi nene yena uzakuthetha emva kwakho(I believe your prayers will bless your marriage*tell this lady how you feel about her Mr and she'll do so after you)
What will I possibly say to a person that I don't even love? ,no this is a joke but I have to pretend now ,arghhhh!!So I looked at her with a straight face on and she was smiling ,I could punch this girl in the face
Zingisa:Ayikho into endingayitsho mna kuPalesa gog' Zondiwe ,uxolo(There's nothing I could possibly say to Palesa Granny Zondiwe ,sorry)
Zondiwe:Kuyenzeka nyana (Turned to Palesa)wena sisi?(It happens son*and you ma'am?)
Everyone was just shocked after I said what I said ,I mean people I can't lie ,lying is wrong , right?
Palesa:(Smiled)Meeting you and knowing you was the greatest experience and now I call you mine ,I'm glad that you honoured this moment and made me your wife as you will be a true husband and father to me and the baby.Some things are bound to happen ,and us starting our relationship was bound to happen because we wouldn't be standing here if it wasn't ,I love you Zingisa Radebe and I'm proud to be Palesa Radebe.
Wow what a lie!yes she do love me but nothing was bound to happen here that's bullshit ,she forced me ,her and my father and she has the audacity to even smile ,THIS JERK.
Zondi:Mahle lomagama Palesa(Turned to me) unesiqinisekiso sokuba ayikho into ofuna ukuyitsho emva kwamagama kaPalesa amahle kangaka Zingisa?(Beautiful words Palesa*are you sure that there's nothing that you want to say to Palesa after that beautiful speech she made?)
Zingisa:Njengoba senditshilo ,ayikho into endingayithetha kuPalesa mna(Like I said ,there's nothing I could possibly say to Palesa)
Zondi:Uvakele Mthimkhulu.Ingaba ukhona ucinga ukuba lomtshato ungenzeki?(I hear you Mthimkhulu.Is there anyone who thinks this marriage shouldn't happen?)
No one answered ,arghhh those jerks
Zondi:I now pronounce you husband and wife ,you may kiss the bride
Zingisa:No
Palesa:Bathong Zingisa!(Geez Zingisa!)
When I tend to look at my father ,he looked angry so I kissed this jerk.
Everyone was celebrating and happy ,I don't even understand what they are happy about.
