Sibongile:The Christian Girl

Chapter 34

It's getting hot in here,uMakhulu still has a lot to say,so buckle up people we are not done.
"Ngaphambi kokuba ndiqhubeke, ndingathanda ukuba ezi ndawo zebhotwe zicocwe"-I/she says as I feel her anger subside.Yhoo nkosiyam royalty drama isn't fun at all.
"Siza kwenza umcimbi wokucoca ngomso kusasa"-the old lady says.We all leave the room,some with emotions they can't hide.This palace doesn't feel good at all,there are spirits lingering around the hall ways waiting for revenge and some are waiting to be set free.

The maids show us our rooms and we settle in nicely,of course I will be sharing a room with my husband.
"Do you want to rest??"-Sthembiso asks me as he massages my feet softly.
"Mhmmm"-I hum with my eyes closed.He picks me up from the couch and places me on the bed.
"Sleep I will be right beside you when you wake up"-he whispers against my ear before kissing my forehead.I lay my head on his chest and I drift to lala land.

********************
"Yeah they found a lead on Amahle and her sister"-I hear Sthembiso's voice say softly in a whispering manner.
"We will inform your brothers and after the ceremony and all that is needed for us in this Kingdom we leave"-Alessandro says.I open my eyes and I see them by the couch.
"You guys found her"-I say grabbing their attention.They both turn to me shocked to see me awake.
"Princess you should be resting"-Sthembiso says as he makes his way towards the bed.
"I will leave,see you downstairs princess"-Alessandro says before kissing my forehead.
"So were you going to tell me??"-I ask as Alessandro leaves the room.
"Yeah but not now,you have a lot on your plate and I don't want to add more"-he says.
"It's okay,when is the ceremony starting??"-I ask him.
"In an hour"-he says.I check the time and it's half past three in the morning.These two were actually gossiping in the witch hours!!
"It's so early"-I whine.
"We have to get you ready standwa sam"-he says picking me up bridal style.

"Uzondiwisa phantsi Sthembiso"-I say screaming.
"I won't I promise"-he says.
We take an innocent shower together and he picks an outfit for me while I make the bed.We make our way downstairs to find the whole family there and even that woman I kicked out yesterday and I still don't know why.She looks at me with a disgusting look before walking away.
"Nkosazana we ready when you are ready"-the king says.
"We can begin"-I say.We make our way outside the palace doors.A chicken was slaughtered and a goat.The blood of the chicken and goat was spilled over the  palace grounds.After the ceremony it started to pour rain,not any normal rain this rain was heavy.It's like it was washing away something.I hear a few gasps from the maids who were standing near by.
"It hasn't rained here for months and now our rivers are finally going to flood with water"-one maid says happily.
"It's raining cause the truthful heir of the Throne has arrived"-says the one next to her.

The King's actions really made these people suffer.The sun started to rise and we finally went in.We got served breakfast and after that it was time to continue yesterday's matter.

"
Njengoko sonke sihlanganisene apha lixesha lokuthetha ngeshishini elibalulekieyo"-the old lady,MaDlamini says.Everyone keeps quiet as they listen to her.I found out that the King has three wives and two girls and one son.The third wife can't have kids after she miscarried but something is definitely wrong with the first wife.
"Nkosazana"-MaDlamini says more like telling me I can speak.
"ngubani uBathandwa??"-I/she ask.I hear a few gasps around the table.I don't even know who's that.
