Narrators POV
D Day has finally arrived.Everyone in the Dlamini kingdom is feeling jolly in their black and white traditional attires.After all the theme was black and white.The tent is standing tall in the middle of the yard with a lot of designated tables that will be occupied by only immediate family,friends and different kingdoms.
The villagers are already outside the gate looking smoking,while waiting for the gate to open up.Maidens are here wearing their shortest skirts in attempt to bag at least a prince. They are only used to the two younger princes and not the other four,ngoku their arrival has turned their lives upside down in a good way.Little do they know that each prince has their own fated mate therefore they won't be choosing anyone.
Everyone in the palace is getting ready for the quad's day.All four of them are a bit excited that they are going to be shifting in just a few hours.Yesterday all the helpers were given a day off meaning they could freely attend the ceremony without having to worry about cooking,cleaning and serving.
The Dlamini aunts,the in laws ,the cousins and Amahle's friends are the ones who are cooking.The men are in ubuhlanti passing around iibhekile zomqombothi like the typical old village men they are.All 6 of the brothers are sitting in one of the rooms and chatting while laughing here and there.The quads get along so well with their brothers,it's like they have known each other since forever.
Amahle is in her room,sniffing on the last bit of cocaine she has and then walks out to welcome each and every guest like nothing is going on.Phindile is also helping out in the kitchen while Luviwe is with his grandparents,having the time of his life.The queen has been pestering both her sons who are Lubabalo and Luzuko to marry the mother of their kids.Lubabalo is planning to marry Rex in the next couple of weeks.Luzuko and Phindile have been making love for the past two days,they haven't actually spoke about anything serious so he doesn't know where they stand.Luzuko has created an unbreakable bond with his son.
On the other side of town Hlelolenkosi is admiring herself in the mirror.She's wearing her black and white dress with matching All-Stars.Her dad agreed for her to go to the Dlamini's with his family,who got a special invite.He is staying behind because he has a meeting with some plot buyers and also needs to over view the reparation process for the second time this week.

Amahle's POV
I go open the gate and the villagers bow to me and then walk away.Some teenagers come my way and ask me to take pictures with them excitedly.Hayibo ndiyi celebrity na mna?lol More guests arrive as I show them to their seats.The queen of Lesotho gets here and flashes me a smile
Her:Wow you look so beautiful babe.
Me:Thank you so much
Her:What do you use to get such a glow?
Me:Nothing much I just use sunlight bar soap,cold water and coconut tissue oil from Bramley.
Her:Alright thank you,I'll see you later.
Just then the last VIP's arrive who are the royals from the Zulu Kingdom.Commotion immediately takes place.I see many people fixing their postures,some their dresses while some are making sure their breaths smell good.Kanti what is so special about these people?
Anyways I welcome them in.
Me:Molweni,your table is that way.
They smile at me
King:Sawbona ndodakazi
Queen:Ngeke intombi entle kanjena?
I just look down blushing.Okay?!
Me:(mumbling)Thank you,you also look amazing
Queen:Hay suka wena,sengigugile pho
I giggle at her dramatic self as I lead them to their table.As I'm about to leave I feel a tiny warm hand grab my wrist.I close my eyes as the image of me holding a baby with that man in my dream ,comes up.I open my eyes again and the Zulu family is looking at our interaction.
Girl:Sawbona mama wami
I look behind me just to make sure she's not talking to me
Girl:I'm Hlelolenkosi by the way.You look so pretty in real life.I can't wait for you to be my mom and be my dad's queen.
I hear the queen gasp while looking at her husband with her eyes popping out.Uthini lomntwana ?
Me:Ehhh...uh...uhm
Hlelo:(interrupting)My daddy has been looking for you for months now.
Me:(laughing awkwardly)I...I ...I think I need to get...uhm...going.
I remove my hand from her grasp and attempt to walk away.
Hlelo:(crying)Ma...don't leave ...we ca...can't lose you again.
What is she saying !? Something urges me to say something and we speak at the same time.
Us:Lwo madiyabhorosi maviririri vari kuuya kwauri saka tora udzokere kunzvimbo yako chaiyo.
I get shocked when I realize we have said the exact same thing.Okay I need to get out of here.I quickly walk away to the kitchen.
Siba:Haybo what's chasing you?
Me:Uhh nothing,ndicela amanzi
Kamva passes me a glass of water as they all look at me expectedly.
Me:(sigh)Some weird kid from the Zulu Kingdom is calling me her mom.
They all just laugh and I look at them quizzically.
Me:Okay explain the joke,nam ndifuna ukuhleka.
Rex:Geez.No need to salty.
I roll my eyes at her,she can't be speaking
Me:Says the queen of all saltiness.
Rex:What did you just say?
Please,I'm not in the mood to fight with a hormonal pregnant woman.She'll end up crying anyways and I'll look like the bad person. I stand and go to my room.I find Luviwe sleeping in bed and I just slide in next to him.I wake him up ngoba oko ebelele for like 4 hours now. I text Phindile so she can come and breastfeed him.She comes in rushing a few minutes later.
Phindile:Hey girl
Me:Hiii
Phindile:Hello my chipmunk,my cutie pie,my prince prince.Molo sthandwa sentliziyo yamamakhe.
She teketisas her baby as she grabs him to breastfeed.After he's done feeding she burps him and changes his nappy.
Phindile:Should I take him with me or do you still want him?
Me:Mshiye, I need to vent to him.
Phindile giggles while giving me his dummy.
Phindile:Bye then
Me:Byee.
I check the time and it's still 08:46 am and the whole ceremony starts at 10:00am.I proceed to play with my little nephew and he giggles whenever I kiss his chubby cheeks. I talk to him ,more like to myself, because this child is just staring at me while kicking his feet and giggling here and there.We take pictures together and I post on my instagram and notifications immediately start flooding in.This is the first time in 5 years since I've opened this app and I get shocked when I see 300k followers.How? The last time I checked I only had 10k followers. I go through my posts and I see what made my followers rise up.It's a few pictures of me wearing a bikini,the day my friends and I went to the beach.The question is...who posted this?
