Little Miss Successful

Part 6

Amahle's POV
"I knew you could do it mntanam,you always make me proud."
These are the words that are constantly ringing in my head,day by day.It's been five years but I'm still thinking about what happened the day of my birthday.
*FLASHBACK*
Everyone is happy we just celebrated my birthday.My brothers and I are downstairs entertaining our guests.I hear my mom calling my name from upstairs so I rush to her.
Me:Mama?
Her:(Smiling sadly)Please call your brothers for me.
Me:Okay
I head downstairs and tell the guests to leave politely.They leave.I call my brothers and they come in making a noise.
Mom:Bantabam...I love you okay?
Us:We love you too ma/mama/mom
Mom:Today is the day where my great ancestors are taking me. I have to go back now, my time here is up.
Zuko:Mama uthin...
Mom:(interrupting)Let me finish speaking my baby.You guys have made me the happiest mom for the past twenty five years.I could never trade you for anything.Hopefully the values,respect and love I instilled in all of you,stays with you all for as long as you live. I didn't tell you about your dad,for my own selfish reasons,one of them being heartbreak. I kept you guys away from him in hopes of making him come after me.We had to have kids together for the sake of the prophecy and make sure to never fall in love with each other.I'm what you call a white witch while your dad is the descendant of the Dlamini clan-a beast.We both had some extra ordinary powers but because we went against the prophecy by falling in love,we lost our powers.Today marks the day I leave the land of the living...I am supposed to die at Amahle's 18th birthday,on the twelfth hour.Your 18th birthday Amahle,represents you getting into adulthood.You're still going to unlock your powers,one of them being able to feel what your better half is feeling.Your journey to breaking the prophecy begins when I die.My quads...You guys are beasts just like your father.
You have to learn how to control them but don't worry your dad will be there to guide you.He'll make an appearance when I leave so please accept him together with his wife and 2 kids.Both sons are younger than you all.The wife is a kind soul together with her kids. You're probably wondering how I know all this.Well I had a PI to keep tabs on the woman just to make sure that I will be leaving my babies in safe hands.I love you guys so so much with everything in me.
I'll be there to guide you Amahle in spiritual form.Make sure you guys always pray and trust your guts,they can never lead you astray.
Your dad is King Zwelibanzi Lukhokonke Dlamini from kuGatyane -Willow Vale,in the Eastern Cape.He is fully Xhosa same as me.Just because you all have Zulu middle names,does not mean you're half Zulu or whatever.He is really tall,dark in skin,has really deep dimples,his smile is just mesmerizing and the last time I saw him he had a really big mustache and a bald head.He has a big head like you guys ke.
Makhwenkwe am ndiyazingca ngani.Please make sure to bring back those degrees home and get the best jobs ever.Take care of your future wives and kids.Protect your little sister at all times.Ndinithanda kakhulu.
Just as she finishes talking, my results come through. My heart beats fast with nerves rushing through my body. I give my mom the laptop so she can see them first.After a few moments of complete silence,my mom stands up ululating saying that I passed my matric year with 7 distinctions.The tears flow freely from my eyes,looking at how proud my mom and brothers are.This is a bittersweet moment for everyone.My mom is having her last happy moment with us.I'm supposed to be happy with my results but damn at what cost,my mom is dying.
Mom :I knew you could do it mntanam,you always make me proud.
Me:(mumbling)enkosi mama
They eventually settle down and the mood becomes somber again.My brothers just throw themselves at my mom while crying. I follow suit while sobbing.
Mom:(sighing in defeat)Don't cry my baby's.Look at the brighter side,you'll finally meet your dad.We are supposed to be creating more memories together for these 6 hours of my life that are still left.
We continue hugging her and then start having fun .When it's 15 minutes until 00:00 she goes to her room after hugging and kissing us while declaring her love.I try to run after her but my brothers hold me back.We all sit back down crying for at least thirty minutes.We stand to go to her room,and what I see will forever be kept in my memory.My mom is lying there on the bed with a bible on her hands.Her eyes closed and looking really pale.I rush to her trying to wake her up but does she respond? No
My brothers sink to the floor,tears frickling down their faces.She's Gone.
*FLASHBACK OVER*
Present day
Sigh.I miss my mom so bad.My brothers and I are even closer than before.Rekelo is surprisingly still my friend after all these years.She has become a sister to me.Pun intended.She's about to be my sister in law ngoba she's engaged to Luba.Let me just reintroduce myself.I'm Amahle Samukelisiwe Jabavu.I'm 22 years of age.I'm an intern in Jabs Corporate's,on the agricultural side of the company.The death of my mom hit hard on me.I started not eating,not bathing or going out.Leading me to losing weight from being a size 38 to being a 34.I isolated myself from the world including my brothers and Rex. I took down all my moms pictures as a way of trying to forget her and the pain.The walls of my room and depressing music became my best friends.A year later I was diagnosed with depression and was told to attend therapy.I wouldn't respond to any questions asked in attempt to stop therapy but my therapist was like gum stuck on my shoe,not willing to move at all. She told me to find something that keeps me distracted.So I started listening to African soul music,started reading novels,started writing about my feelings or how my day went and I also buried myself in books.Life became a bit better still with no sign of our dad.Kanti wasn't he supposed to be have appeared by now?
Here we are 5 years later.Lubabalo is the owner and founder of BCo's Cooperation,the company I'm an intern in.He owns chains of companies around Mpumalanga and Northern Cape.Luzuko is a chef who owns his own company/restaurant called ZCaryls in Durban.Lonwabo is a businessman and an investor.He owns clubs all around.Lulamile is a software engineer working for Zulu Co something in Durban.He also owns a few gyms around Eastern Cape and Durban.There is also a family company where we are all shareholders in,called THE JABAVU SANCTUARIES.It's safe to say that my brothers have done well for themselves.Guys ndiyi proud sister.Rekelo is an intern in nursing school.Still working her way up into becoming an endocrinologist.Me...What about me?
I'm a shareholder of Jabavu Sanctuaries.I also own a few clothing stores,I have my own hair oil brand called Growth A$, I have a boutique situated in East London and I'm an intern at BCo's Cooperation.
I've been having weird dreams lately...a woman whom I don't even know keeps telling me to search harder.He's waiting for me.For example yesterday she said that they are getting closer to him.Without me by his side,all vaults shall fall into revenue.I don't know... I think that means all hell shall break loose.Whenever I sleep she invades my dreams,when I take a nap she's there or even when I close my eyes for a split second she's there.
This other day I was getting ready for my day so I walked out of my bathroom and went to stand in front of my full body mirror so I could lotion myself.I literally saw her through the mirror standing behind me ,looking straight at me not blinking.The way I screamed kesana.My brothers rushed in guns blazing probably thinking I was in danger. I pointed to the mirror so they can see what I saw but then they just looked at me like I grew two heads.I looked at the mirror again and saw nothing.Mnxm.They thought I was going crazy.
There's another weird thing I've been experiencing...Ever since these weird dreams started,I've been hearing a man's voice at the back of my head telling me to save his great grandson.He was speaking Zulu and I'm Xhosa so he probably was talking to the wrong perso...
I get interrupted from my thoughts by Rex who's looking like she's carrying the whole world on her shoulders.Yah neh Imedicine ayidlali namntu.
Me:(laughing)long day huh?
Her:you bet yho.
Me:Uberight mabhabha
Her:(rolling her eyes)yehake Mahlez
Me:Unjani kodwa?
Her:Kediniwe friend
Me:mhhm shame...
Her:let me leave and love you.I'm going to bed.
Me:Same ,Goodnight babe.
I say as I switch off the the tv that I was watching but ended up watching me.Basically my brothers and I decided to live together in a triple story house in Johannesburg.Well besides Lulamile who works in Durban.Rex lives with us now since she has become my brothers fiancé.She have been engaged for like three years now because Rex said she wanted to get married when she reaches 25 and also when she has become 'independent'.Because my brother is an understanding person he was actually willing to wait for her.Ncaww so cutesy.
I get to my room and immediately when my head hits my pillow, sleep engulfs me.
*Dream*
I look around the area I'm in-everything looks so calm and peaceful.Out of nowhere the wind starts blowing so hard and a woman facing away from me appears.I have no idea who she is as she has a cape covering her back.She turns around and I realize that it's the same woman who haunts me every time I close my eyes. She walks towards me while I'm rooted on the same spot.She touches the blue bracelet I got and she turns into someone I never thought I'd see again.My mom?
Her:Hello my baby
Me:Y...you...sound...l...like m...m...my mom
Her:It's because I am your mom mntwana wam.
Me:mama?
Her:Amahle Samukelisiwe Jabavu?
I jump on her in attempt to give her a big hug but I fall face flat on the ground.She laughs
Mom:My baby you can't touch me,I'm a spirit now.
Me:(disappointed)Oh okay.
Mom:Why did you starve yourself after I died? Look at how thin you look.
Haybo lomntu,I'm a size 34.I keep quiet.
Mom:Why?
Me:Mama ubufuna ndithini ke,you left us
Mom:It's not like I had a choice
I keep my mouth shut before I say something I'll end up regretting to my mom.
Mom:Any ways that's not the reason why I came here.Come
She leads me to a a rock and says I should take a seat.I ask her something
Me:Mama,are you the weird woman who's been telling me things I have no idea about?
Her:(giggling)Yes
Me :How?
Her:Well I couldn't use my own body to show up to you for at least the first 4 years of my after life.I had to reserve my own body for these upcoming years.War is coming,you're still going to go through many obstacles that might break or make you.I'll be here constantly so I can guide you.Many want what you have therefore now that you haven't yet discovered your powers ,I have to be there to protect until you find your better half.Prepare for your father's arrival,he's close.Say Mucha hlakuva muchelo,whenever you need me. I'll be there.
Before I can respond she just disappears.
*End of dream*
Tututu.I groan as I hear the sound of my alarm.I get up getting ready for my day.

Stay in this journey of my life as it is about to be really busy,hard yet exciting!
