The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 114

PETU'S POV_

Today was supposed to be our first women's talk at church. It was Saturday morning. I was so nervous because of the rain but it stopped sometime in the middle of the night. It was still gloomy so I wasn't sure if it's done. I looked next to me. Mnqobi was sleeping still. He'd come back late, probably snuck out of the palace. My door opened, Nothando walked in.

Notha: "Hey." She whispered.

Petu: "Morning love."

Notha: "When did he get here?"

Petu: "Around midnight." She got in bed on his other side. I giggled.

Notha: "Are you nervous for today?"

Petu: "Yeah. What if people don't show up?"

Notha: "I'm hoping they don't. I'd be happy with less than five people, I'm already anxious." Mnqobi woke up.

Petu: "I know but we need to spread the word."

Mnqobi: "Butterfly. Ukhuluma nabani?" (Who are you talking to?)

Petu: "With your wife." He looked beside him.

Mnqobi: "Hi love. Wait... Am I in trouble?"

Notha: "Ask yourself, why you're always in trouble?"

Mnqobi: "I haven't even done anything wrong baby. Ninjani? Yoh, I'm so tired. I think my brain is fried."

Petu: "Why? Is it about the trending topic of the royal in Oceans?"

Mnqobi: "Yes. I know Sibonelo knows. He always knows. Zwe didn't come home last night, and he's in Oceans. So obviously something is going on."

Petu: "Do you think it's bad? What if it's Sasa? Oh my God, what if-"

Mnqobi: "Calm down baby. The King wouldn't try that again. They spent a bit of time together on Sunday. He spoke to her more than anyone else. They seemed....close."

Notha: "Close?? That's suspicious Mnqobi. The Prince barely speaks. Why would his father, be close to his wife??"

Mnqobi: "All I'm saying is, I think Thembisa is okay love."

Petu: "How long till we find out who's at the hospital?"

Mnqobi: "This morning surely. Before you go to your woman's talk, please wait for the announcement. In case, there's a lockdown or restriction."

Petu: "At least the talk is mid afternoon."

Mnqobi: "Good. We'll know by then." He yawned.

Notha: "What will you be doing today?"

Mnqobi: "Depending on this announcement, my love. I have to go back to the palace before they get to breakfast."

Petu: "Will we see you today?"

Mnqobi: "Maybe later tonight but I'll call throughout the day. Good luck on your lady chats." I giggled.

Notha: "You're just jealous you're not invited."

Mnqobi: "I am jealous vele. Maybe you'll be gossiping about me there."

Petu: "What makes you think we don't gossip about you here?" Notha laughed.

Mnqobi: "Hawu? And say what about me, baby?"

Notha: "Don't worry about it. Have a good day."

Mnqobi: "Eh? Let me go to work before I start crying." He kissed my lips, climbing out of bed, kissing Nothando's head. I watched him get dressed. "Okay, I'll call soon. Please don't leave the house without guards, at any point today. Ngiyanithanda. I'll see you soon."
