Little Miss Successful

Part 13

[I just realized that I wrote Mahlez instead of Hlelo in the last dialogue with her father.I just fixed it now ,so sorry for the confusion 😘]

Amahle's POV
I bop my head to the sound of the soul music, I'm listening to Unspoken Words by The Soil. Everyone is asleep in this car and it's already 5am in the morning. I see a sign saying Welcome To Willow Vale. I follow the address dad sent to me and after passing plenty of huts,kraals,taverns and cows we finally get there.
I get the shock of my life when I see a triple story wide house surrounded by plenty of huts.The yard is so huge I see ubuhlanti obukhulu kakhulu,a pig stable,many chicken coops,plenty of Jojo tanks and 2 long drop bathrooms,all from a distance.I can see these things because it's already light enough ngoba ilanga seliphuma.
I hoot and after a few minutes of waiting outside the gate, I see a bunch of women and some men dancing and ululating.That commotion wakes up everyone in the car.
Woman:(ululating)yilililililili
Woman2:hayhayhayhayhay
She says as she throws herself into the floor with excitement.
Kamva:Sesifikile?
Me:Yebo yes my dali.
Nathi:Holy shit!
She swears as she looks out the window.
Me:Hay don't swear kukho umntwana apha.
Rex rolls her eyes.
Nathi:Shit! I forgot babe.
Us:Nathi Haybo?!
Nathi:Let me just keep quiet neh
We all nod while giggling. I then see my 6 brothers,dad and a woman who I think is my mom walking out of the house all wearing crowns,coming our way while singing.Wami gets to the car
Wami:Get out of the car Mahlez, I was told by our seer to drive all of your friends in while you wait here with the baby and the pregnant woman in your car.
Haybo for the why?!
Me:No Molo or anything bhuti?
He smiles and greets me. I get out of the drivers seat and he hugs me.
Wami:Shit!Why is the seat so close to the car starring?
Kamva:Suthuka! There's a kid here.
Wami:Fuck I'm sorry.
I simply roll my eyes ngoba he doesn't listen just like my friend there.He adjusts the chair properly to his comfort while Rex gets out of the car and while I also take the baby from Phindile.He then drives in with the others.
The weather starts changing out of nowhere and an elderly woman who's carrying a spear on her left hand and a plastic on the other comes our way.I guess she's a seer judging by the bunch of beads she's wearing and animal skin.
Rex:(whispering) I wonder what's happening...
The woman gets to us and smiles.She puts the things down and bows down.So does everyone else in the yard besides dad,mom and Luba.
Woman:(praising)Siyanamkela boDlamini,
ooZizi,
Jama kaSjadu,
Mabetshe,
Bhanise,
Ngxib'inoboya
ooFakade
Khatsini
Mtikitiki
Nomana ndab'azithethwa intsuku ngentsuku
Nonyathi
ooBhengu
Lightning strikes in front of me and what's funny is that I'm not shaken at all.A black long snake makes it's way to me.It climbs up my leg and wraps itself around my knee.Another black tinnier snake is brought to me by the woman then she puts it on Luviwe and it wraps itself around his knee.Two other black snakes that are tinnier make their way to Rex as she screams.
Rex:(crying)oh no!
They climb up her and wrap themselves around her tummy and waist.
Woman:Mna ndingu Gogo Velis'indlela.
Me:(smiling)Molo Gogo.
Rex also greets.
Gogo:These snakes usually arrive and wrap themselves around people who are part of the family.Sisilo salapha ekhaya esi.
Me:But the child I'm holding is not fa...
Gogo:He is trust me.
Well that means I'm carrying my nephew,Oh My Lord. I think it's Zuko's child since he also has that thing of his left eye twitching.I knew I wasn't crazy when I saw some similarities between him and my brothers.
Gogo:BooDlamini naba abantwana benu bade bafika.
She smears something orange on my feet and face.She then starts speaking in tongues and her eyes roll back.
Gogo:(shouting)Here is the first princess in 4 decades to be born.She is the iNdoniyamanzi.
I hear gasps but I don't dare look up.
Gogo:She is a water goddess who is destined for greater fate.A warrior that does not bow down to anyone else besides her king who she will meet in due time.
My eyes start watering and rain starts falling down.How?
Gogo:Don't cry you will flood this place.Your tears carry the power of rain which is why ubizwa iNdoniyamanzi.You bring water and peace to this place.
Wow...I don't even know how to respond back.I quickly wipe my tears and the rain immediately stops.
She then moves closer to me and grabs Luviwe and holds him up so everyone can see him.
Gogo:(shouting)yeyyyy yeyyyy.Bhengu...here is the first prince to arrive in this generation.He shall bring blessings to us all.
She gives me back Luviwe and walks to a now crying Rex.
Gogo:Ukhalelani?
She doesn't respond.
Gogo:These kids are playing with your emotions shame.
Laughter comes from people as Rex flares her nose in anger.
Gogo:(shouting)BooZizi yamkelani abantwana benu ababini,one is a prince while the other is a princess.This prince shall take after his father and one day rule this kingdom.He will be close to his sister and because of that they shall bring blessings to their parents.
