The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 150

NOTHANDO'S POV_

My exam wasn't so bad today. I just had a bit on my mind. Mnqobi was busy with his dad and had asked me to keep an eye on Zimmy. I did and she was okay. After the exam, she was studying with her group, I too had a study session at the library but by myself because I can't focus with other people. Late afternoon, she came to fetch me from the library and we left for home. The guard driving us.

Zimmy: "Nothando, you're in love with Mnqobi right?"

Notha: "Yes."

Zimmy: "But he's also with your best friend."

Notha: "Yes, and I love her too. We've been through this before."

Zimmy: "How did that happen?"

Notha: "We've spoken about this before. What's wrong?"

Zimmy: "Please don't judge me. And please keep this between us. Promise me." I looked at the driver. He was focused on the road but this conversation seemed really private.

Notha: "We can talk about it at home. Just us." She nodded. "Do you want us to get some takeaways?"

Zimmy: "Yes please, I'm dying for a burger." I instructed the driver to go to the drive through of the fast food place, picking up some food for all of us and drove back home. Siza was on her laptop doing something. Petu was studying on the dining room table.

Notha: "Hello." I kissed her lips.

Siza: "Hey babes."

Petu: "Hi my love. How was your test?"

Notha: "It was good."

Zimmy: "What are you guys up to?"

Petu: "I'm doing my last revision for tomorrow. My brain is fried."

Siza: "I'm preparing for an interview."

Notha: "For a job?"

Siza: "No. The Biyela bursary program. It's mandatory for applicants to go through the interview process so I'm just equipping myself with basic interview skills and how to answer questions."

Zimmy: "That's big news Siza. I wish you the best. I'm crossing fingers for you."

Petu: "You'll do great sis."

Siza: "Thanks guys. If I get this, next year I start school. At least I don't have to worry about much, Jackson's policy will have a payout every month for the kids until they're 18 and then their university will pay their tuitions. I on the other hand, am thinking about selling the house. It's just so many bad memories in it. Is it a good idea?"

Notha: "It's your choice Siza. If you don't want to stay there, you shouldn't force yourself to. Maybe a new house will be good for your healing process."

Petu: "Agreed. What will you do after you sell the house?"

Siza: "I was thinking of buying a more affordable one in Oceanview still. The area is very safe and I want the kids to grow up there. Maybe just a smaller house."

Zimmy: "That's good. How are you feeling?"

Siza: "I'm still feeling guilty. I don't know why. Jackson would've properly killed me and gotten rid of my body. I just can't help feeling some guilt for the kids. They're going to grow up without a dad."

Notha: "That's okay. Alot of kids grow up without fathers and they turn out well. You have a strong support system with us and Siza don't ever think you're boring us when you have to talk about Jackson or what you feel. We're not here to judge you."
