Khathu's POV
My parents convinced me to this arrangement I don't know why but something is pushing me to do so, so I'll do. So, we came back from Venda last week. I've been burying myself in work so I can forget about this marriage thing. I'm so annoyed but to get my father to see me I'll do it. So, I was informed that I'm meeting my bride. Before the lobola negotiations.
So, I did my night routine and I'm chilling in my room because my parents and sibling are sleeping over because of tomorrow. And currently everyone is sleeping besides me because I am different guess.
As I was on my phone I scrolled through Instagram and saw my dear friend Zinhle posted a new vlog and we text for a while till I call it a night. Before I sleep, I make it a point to watch her video before we leave tomorrow.
The next morning, I wake up take a shower dress up in dress pants and a white shirt. With my Fabiani black classic shoes. With my gold watch and my dolce and Gabbana perfume. I do my beard routine brush my hair and go to get breakfast.
After breakfast we leave and to go to my new brides house. We convoy because there is a lot of us. My dad and mom are driving in my dad's BMW X5, I am driving my Mercedes C200 2021 with my two sisters and brother, and my other brother and his family are coming with their Mercedes gle coupe. We are all convoying there with my dad leading the way because he knows where he is going.
We arrive to waterfall equestrian estate and all I can say is wow. They have money I wonder why they need us so bad. But I guess we will find out really soon I guess. When we arrive to the house, I see a car that is familiar. This is Zinhle's car. Could it be that she could be my bride? I hope so. I pray that she is. We leave our cars and do a short prayer because Ma says that we have to pray so we did.
We knock at the door and we are greeted by an older lady who looks like an older version of Zinhle at this point I'm praying she is my bride. We are led to a living room and I sit next to my lovely dad. *sense the sarcasm* Then an older man walks in and greets my father " Mr Mulaudzi long time my old friend." He says bro hugging my father. " Mr Cele likewise long time. This is my family. My wife and children." We greet him. " I'm guess this young man is my son in law. How are you son?" he acknowledges me. " Yes sir. Nice to finally meet you." I say. " Likewise son, let me call my wife and daughter so we can start." He calls his wife she greets us and hugs Mma. She is told to bring my bride.
As if God heard my prayers Zinhle walks in, in the most beautiful body-hugging dress that she bought from the vlog I watched. She looks amazing I must say. Her thick body is so beautiful her chubby cheeks and her hairstyle and her brown skin she looks amazing. When she sees me she looks at me and to say she was shocked is an understatement. Now I'm happy about this arrangement.
Now she is sitting in between her father and her mother. And they start the meeting. Her younger sisters bring snacks for us and tea for the elders as usual. "Nana these are the Mulaudzi family your future in-laws." Her dad says "Sanbonani."(greetings) She says in her angelic voice. We greet back my gaze fixed on her. She is looking down the entire time. " Nana this young man over here is going to be your husband. His name is Khathutshelo" her dad continues. "Hello, Its nice to meet you." She says like its our first time meet each other. "Likewise it's a pleasure meeting you Zinhle." I say with my eyes never leaving her.
"The way you were looking at that girl it's like you are already inlove wena" Hulisani says to me. "Mxm leave me alone" I say and my siblings laugh. Then after My wife...I mean Zinhle is calling us to the dining room. We stand up and follow her and I watch her ass sway and man, man, man this girl is beautiful.
I am told to sit next to her and I do so. We pray and start munching. " So Zinhle what do you do for a living?" Funanani asks " Oh.Uhm. I am a data analyst and a youtuber." She says. "oh you do youtube that so cool." Mulalo says " Yea I enjoy it so much." The lunch continues with questions flowing until its time for us to leave.
Before we leave her dad suggest that we are given time to bond I guess so we are sitting outside its just me and Zinhle. "Hey stranger. Who would have thought that ill be that bastard you are going to marry." I say looking at her. " well don't say it like that nawe. You said bastard. Remember. But did you know about this ? because if you knew about this and didn't tell me that's messed up you know that right?" she says looking at me. " No I didn't know about this honestly. Im as shocked as you. But aren't you glad im not a stranger?" I ask. "I mean it better but still I don't want this. What if something happens idk what yet but hai this isn't fair," she says. " I know I feel the same lets agree to start of as friends and see where everything takes us. Because personally I'm not in the mood to be unhappy for 2 years." I say making her look at me. "what do you say?" I ask " yea I guess. I agree with you." She says staring into my eyes. We stayed like that for a while until Murunwa interrupted us telling we are leaving. " well this is good bye for now beautiful." I go in for a hug and she hugs back and when I tell you that her hugs felt so nice I didn't want to let go. But I did and I winked at her and walk away leaving her flushed. My sister gives me a side eye look and I walk past her to where everyone is and bid farewell. Got to my car and waited for everyone.
Up next my lobola day.
