Sibongile:The Christian Girl

Chapter 36

A ceremony was done for me a few days ago,Vuyiswa tried to ruin everything but my dad threatened to kill her if she did something again.The King's sons were not happy about this especially the first son,and I don't care about them.Today the King will be announcing to the council that he will be stepping down from the Throne as it is not his. Then after that I will be crowned as the Queen and Sthembiso as the King.

"Are you done mama??"-he asks as he enters the en-suite bathroom.
"I'm done"-I say taking a final look of myself in the mirror before heading out.
"We can leave"
"You look gorgeous"-he says kissing me,the kiss gets heated and I find myself moaning.
"We should go down,we can't let elders wait"-he says.
"I'm all yours at night"-he says after a short pause.
"You promise??"-I ask,I need him right now.
"I promise".

We make our way downstairs hand by hand with our heads held high.We make our way to the Throne room and all the council members are seated.It's time I make changes here,these council members will not be my council members.Some of them are not to trusted.
"Inokuba niyazibuza ukuba kutheni ndinibizele le ntlanganiso ningalindelanga, isizathu kukuba ndiyahla etroneni"-I hear a few gaps around the room and some whispers.
"Ngubani ozakuthatha ubukumkani?"-a question comes from some old man in the room.
"Ngaba unyana wakho wokuqala uza kubuthabatha ubukumkani?"-another question comes through.

Can't they keep quiet till their "king" finishes talking.
"Unyana wam akayi kubuthabatha ubukumkani, indlalifa efanelekileyo ibuyele endaweni yayo."
"Uthini ngoku kuthi?"-a question comes through.
"Ndithi indlalifa ibuyele endaweni yayo.Ubukumkani abuvunyelwa ukulawulwa yindoda,besiyazi lonto kodwa saqhubeka necebo ukuba ndithathe ubukhosi emva kokusweleka kwabazali bam. ukukhangela udade wethu ukuze intombi yakhe ithathe ubukhosi kodwa thina senza okuchaseneyo yiloo nto imihlaba yethu ihlwempuzekile kwaye yomile"
"Obu Bukumkani abuyi kulawulwa ngumfazi, asizukulawulwa ngumfazi soze!"-says an angry voice from the council members.
"Jongani nimamele xhego anicengcelezi apha, bubukumkani bam obu umhlaba wam nabantu bakowethu. Ukuba ninengxaki yokuba ndibulawule ningabushiya ubukumkani bam niye kude."-I say getting pissed.I don't care if they think I'm disrespectful and all that but I won't sit and listen to them talking about me like that.I will rule whether they like it or not.

"Kuzakwenziwa umsitho ngomso wokuba inkosazana ithathe isihlalo sobukhosi.Ukuba nabani na uzama nantoni na ukulimaza inkosazana uyakuhlawula kakhulu ezandleni zookhokho bakhe"-MaDlamini says sternly with a facial expression challenging whoever goes against her word.All the council members agree before they leave the throne room.
"Ungavuma njani kuyo yonke lento tata?"-his first son asks angrily before stomping out of the room.Well that was tense.

******************

"If you feel pain or anything from your abdominal call me or if you need anything"-Sthembiso says cupping my cheeks to his hands.
"I will Ngcolosi,I promise when something goes wrong I will call you"-I say.
"Good"-he says giving me a kiss.He opens the door for me and closes as I settle in the car.I'm going to meet up with Buhle,the Rain Queen.Her and her sisters are in town so I'm meeting up with them so we can have a way forward to this and make an alliance.Things are still pretty tense at the palace,the king banished Vuyiswa from the Ndlambe lands,which being the Kingdom grounds.The first prince is still mad at his father,but his brothers fully understand what's going on.Mom and dad are leaving after my ceremony,well we all are cause we have our lives outside this royal palace.My brothers are coming back tomorrow as well as Sthembiso's brothers,they want to support me but mostly they want to support us.I appreciate my families support.

"Mam we have arrived"-the royal driver says as he parks outside the restaurant we decided to meet at.
"Thank you"-I say stepping outside the car,I make my way towards the restaurant and it's quiet.
"I'm sorry mam but we are booked for the whole day"-the lady at the door says.
"I'm sorry but I have a meeting here with someone"-I say confused as to what's going on.
"What's your name mam??"
"Sibongile,Sibongile Bhengu"-I say.
"Ohh you can come in"-she says.She takes me to the table where Buhle and her sisters are.
"I'm glad you could make it"-Buhle says with a smile on her face.
"Well what can I say"-I say as I sit down.
"Uhm these are my sisters,Nomhle the angel and Elizabeth but you can call her Beth,she is my kind"-she says introducing me to her sisters.
"Nice to meet you all"-I say with a lovely smile.
"I'm too hot to be like her kind"-Beth says fanning herself.Laughter fills the table.
"How are you holding up??"-Buhle asks me.
"Well to be honest not good".

"This royalty thing is demanding and being pregnant at the same time is not all sunshine and roses.My ancestors are demanding and they kinda forgetting that I'm carrying two dead bodies inside me and two bodies alive.They expect me to save so many people in a go not caring about my health and whatever.All they care about is their throne.If it wasn't for the innocent people dying I would be not taking over their throne.Now I'm just getting unnecessary attention and I just wanted a quiet life for me and my children,I just wanna put an end to this"-right now I'm a crying mess.Buhle and her sisters try to calm me down.I guess I have been holding back my tears for so long.

"You will heal from this,they say everything happens for a reason.God makes things happen for a reason,so there must be a reason to why all of this happening so don't worry when you have him by your side"-Nomhle says with her angelic voice.
"How is he on my side when I betrayed him,I mean I now have to speak to the dead and make a relationship with the dead.That's against the Bible and I betrayed him"-I say.
"And he has forgiven you okay,he understands cause you are his child he will never abandon you nor leave you,he will always love you and he will always be there for you.Just don't forget to pray and connect with him,fix your relationship with him and all will be all right I promise".
