When You're Bound To Love

Chapter 131

SPHO**

We were stunned, sitting in the lounge. Me: "We can't bring him back can we?" Graham: "There's always a way through God Spho. I just need guidance on how to do it. I don't want to endanger his life." Sands: "What does endangering his life entail? Graham how will I explain to our father that his first son is a demon?" Graham: "Sandile we will fix this. I can't have you panicking or in doubt." Siya: "We're not going anywhere. He might come back and do something. We need to protect Spho, Dabawo and the kids." Graham: "That's a good idea Siyanda. We need all the help." Sands: "What can I do?" Graham: "We'll take turns in keeping watch. Siya and Kompany first. Me and Sandile after." Me: "That's not going to happen. We're not going to be ruled by demons here. We're all going to sleep the same. Now I'm going to bath Chris and putting him to bed. You guys shall get ready too. Me, dubs and Chris and Lam will be in my room since its bigger. Sandile with Graham. Kompany with Siya. I don't want no trouble." Sands: "You're talking to me?" Me: "I'm talking to everyone." Sands: "Where will Boogie sleep?" Me: "In the toilet." I walked to the bathroom. Sands: "That's just being mean!" he yelled. Siya: "I know she means well but we need to protect her." Graham: "Yeah. I know. But we need to keep quiet about it because you know her when she's mad." ...

Chris wanted to sleep next to Sandile today so I let him go after his bath. After my bath and wearing my pajamas, I checked on Lam who was sleeping in his cot. He would be up in about an hour. Dabawo was in the lounge, I don't know what she was watching anyway I got in bed and closed my eyes, ready for sleep. The room started to spin and I opened my eyes again. Nothing seemed abnormal. I pulled Lam's cot closer to the bed. He was sound asleep. I got back in bed and settled into a sleeping position. My door opened. Graham: "Spho..." I sat up. Am I not allowed to sleep? Graham: "I need us to pray." Me: "Okay. Where's everyone." I got out of bed. He closed the door. Graham: "They're in the lounge. I need to pray together with you because I need Mother to show herself soon. Lakhe is going to hurt a lot of people and I don't want that to happen. We can't give up on him yet." Me: "I hear you." I switched on the light. Me: "Way Maker. Miracle Worker. Promise Keeper. Light in the darkness. My God, that is who you are." I sang. Graham joined in singing. Me: "Arise Lord! Lift up Your hand, God. Do not forget the helpless. Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say You won't call him to account? But you God, see the trouble of the afflicted, you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to You, Emperor of the universe. You are the helper of the fatherless. Break the arm of the wicked man call the evil doer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found. I hand our enemies over to You my God. Show them how you love me. Show them how you protect me and have saved me countless times. They shall bow to You Lord. Break every chain holding your children dear God. We are giving You our all. Our hearts yearn for you. Lead me to You. Bring me Lord, to the place where You are. I want to feel You. Breath life into Masilakhe wherever he is. Show him Your mercy Father as he knows not what he's doing. Take him to Your secret place, the one in his heart. Shake his spirit to a standstill. Let him listen to Your voice. Please help him Jesus." I kneeled on the ground sobbing. Me: "Please make him whole again Dear God." a pair of hands touched my shoulders. I looked up and saw Graham. His eyes were fixed on Queen Mother standing next to Lam's crib. He kneeled down. Graham: "Queen." Mother: "Your queen is right next to you my son." Lam woke up from his slumber and yawned. Queen: "King." Me: "Mother we have a problem. My father has turned Lakhe into one of them." Queen: "I'm well aware of what your father has done my child." Me: "We need to stop him but need your guidance how. I don't want Lakhe hurt." Queen: "The King is the only one who can help you." Me: "Lam is a baby. He can't even talk. I don't even know want to know what Lakhe is capable of. What if he hurts him?" Queen: "Nothing is able to hurt Lam. Your father himself knows that." Graham: "My quee- Mother, one of the guards, in the Komander elite, his name is Kompany. He is not a demon. What is he? Prayer does not burn him, yet he is supposedly Kadir's security." Queen: "Kompany is a lost angel. Kadir stole him and used him as his security. Kompany only protects. That is what he did in his previous life. Kadir took and blinded him into his elites. The powers he has are not contributed by Komander. They are his own. You need to guide him, Graham. You need to look after him." Graham: "Yes ma'am." Queen: "Take care of Spho. She does tend to lose it at times." I tried not to chuckle. Graham: "I will." Queen: "Have faith in the king Spho. God is protecting you always. He has his angels protecting you as well. Take care my children." Me: "Thank you mama." and she disappeared. I sat on my bed and looked at the floor. Graham kneeled in front of me. Graham: "What's wrong?" his voice was soft. Me: "The first time I met Queen Mother, Kadir was there with me. He summoned her and she appeared but it was so painful, I was pregnant with Lam at the time. My back felt like it was breaking. Now, when I see her, its harmless, peaceful." Graham: "Because Kadir is half dark. He can only summon her because she gave birth to him and he has a part of her. Maybe that's why it was painful to you, two worlds were clashing and you belong to the pure. This time, its only you, there is no heaviness of evil lurking around, that's probably why." Me: "I guess.... I'm going to Lakhe tomorrow. With the kids." Graham: "Why?" Me: "His son will heal him. I am afraid once he sees what's going on he will want to run." Graham: "You want to ambush him." Me: "Yes." Graham: "I will help. We'll do it tomorrow afternoon." Me: "Thank you Graham." the door opened and Sandile walked in, staring at Graham. Sands: "And then?" Graham stood up. Graham: "We have a plan for tomorrow. I'm just going to need a lot of help." Sands: "That's not what I asked. Why did you let him touch you Spho?" He only held my knee. Me: "Sandile please stop being dramatic. We have a bigger issue tomorrow and I need all of us on the same side." Sands: "Have you found your bible?" he asked Graham. Graham: "Yes. Boogie was using it as a pillow." Sands: "Sorry about that." Graham: "Goodnight Spho. We will talk tomorrow." Me: "Goodnight Graham." he walked out. I looked at Sandile. He stared quietly at me. Me: "Why." Sands: "He has a crush on you." Me: "No, he doesn't. He's a nice person. That's it. Why can't a guy just be nice without people overthinking it?" Sands: "I am a guy and I know what his nice means. Spho, my brother loves you. I know right now he's some mini Lucifer but you know him. The real him. He adores you. He is not a demon. He never was. Please have faith in him." Me: "I do have faith in him Sandile. This will be over soon. We're going to fix it as a family and I'm going to protect him with everything I have. I love Masilakhe and I'd love more than anything to have our old life back. We're just one step away from it. You need to believe." Sands: "So you still want to marry him?" Me: "Of course. And move back to our house. The previous one." Sands: "I missed that. Being a whole family." Me: "We're hours away from it. We just need to stick together and beat this." Sands: "Okay." Dabawo came into the room. Dubs: "Nisahleli. Yuh khame ndilale bethuna." (You're still awake. Let me slleep guys.) Sands: "Goodnight dubs." Dubs: "Night mntanam." Sands: "See you tomorrow." Me: "Join me for a prayer jog." Sands: "That's not happening." he marched out. I laughed and got into bed.
