Zinhle POV
"Hello Khathu, how are you?" I greet when I finally reach him.
"Hey darling. I'm great and yourself?" he replies.
"I'm good thanks, uhm everyone is ready for you inside." I say awkwardly.
"Oh, okay before we go inside can we talk?" he says.
"Uhm...now? can we talk later they are waiting for us inside. I promise we'll talk." Promise you're making promises already? Girl please be for real.
"ok if you say so miss youtuber." He says with smirk waiting for me to lead the way.
We walk into the house to the living room to where everyone was at. He greet everyone and takes his sit. We all do intros basically saying your name and how you are related to the groom or bride. Imagine I'm a bride cabanga! (imagine). After all that I am called to the kitchen where I am told I have to serve Khathu on my knees I-M-A-G-I-N-E!!.
Khathu POV
I am sitting with my family and her family we're just talking and then her brother starts talk all this time he has been giving dirty looks. "I don't want you hear my sister crying because of you. If you much put you fingers on her wena uzongazi kahle.(you will know me very well)" He says looking right into my eyes and I look him in the eyes too not fazed at all. "I don't plan on doing that. "I don't give him a reaction all. "I hope not." He says then looks away.
After that interaction I see a visibly annoyed Zinhle but she walks towards us she's hold a bowl with water and a towel. She come towards me and goes on her knees so I can wash my hands. While I washed my hands I kept staring at her. when I'm done I dry my hands she just looks down. When I am done, she gets up and I stare at her while she walks away. When she leaves her cousins and sister come and serve the others while I wait for Zinhle to give me my food.
She walks in with a tray with food and a drink. You guys can imagine how sexy she looks but I keep quiet. While she walks towards me I notice her cousin I'm assuming recording with a her camera. Is he vlogging for her channel? If so then I'm making my appearance there I am so excited lol. "thank you gorgeous." I say with a smile show chasing my beautiful teeth. Some would assume that I am blushing, but men don't blush. "pleasure" she says in her angelic voice with the cutest smile guys.
"he is so gone for her. look at him." My brothers laugh and again I ignore them while I eat my food. After eating we chill and mingle, I am introduced to her other family members, and I see how big this family. Like the same size as mine if not a bit bigger.
So the evening is ending and people are starting to leave. Zinhle and I haven't really spoken we've been taking pictures with everyone then she went to sit with her cousins while I sat with Phathu and Mandla. But also Mandla is busy with Lethu one of Zinhle's friends.
I was called with Zinhle to go into her father's office where our parents sitting there waiting for us. We are instructed to sit next to each other, and we do while we wait for them to start the meeting. Her father starts.
"Hello my children. I hope you guys are okay and having a good day." Her father starts.
"I know that you guys are wondering why we are having a meeting. Well basically we are informing you guys onto how this is going to go. Well firstly you guys will move in together as of tomorrow. And next week you guys are going to be going to a holiday for 1 week to bond with one another. Afterwards in 6 months from when you come back from your holiday you will be having your white wedding and traditional wedding." He says. Well, that's a lot to swallow. All I hear from Zinhle is a chuckle.
"do we have a problem Zinhle?" her mom asks
" I'm just confused. You guys seem to forget that I have my OWN life and I just can't drop EVERTHING for you guys because you guys said so. I also have MY own apartment you guys didn't have the decency to tell me about this." She says to her parents.
"firstly if we told you in advance you would have done something so it wouldn't happen. And we know you took leave so don't tell me about work. And about your house I will get movers while you are away to move your stuff." Her father says visibly irritated by her tone.
"my child I know it's hard for you to understand why everything is happening the way it is but you'll understand really soon. Just give it a chance and pray to God about it." My mom says with reasoning voice. Zinhle just nods and ask to be excused and leaves
After that meeting her father spoke to me telling me about everything else. After the conversation I walk to my car waiting for Zinhle after a few minutes I see her walk out visibly annoyed walking to my car with her suitcase . I walk out of my car to help her with her bags. I open her door and close it for her. I put everything in the boot.
"Please drive" she says. I look at her confused." Aren't we supposed to wait for her parents to bid us farewell or am I wrong.
"where are your parents?" I ask
"Inside." She says. As I am about to start the car her dad comes to my side of the car.
" Nihambe kahle bantwana bam'. Zinhle behave yourself and don't forget siyakthanda." He waits for her to answer but she doesn't.
"We will travel safely thank you." I respond just to be respectful. He nods then leaves.

Zinhle's POV
We drive for about an hour when we arrive in Bedfordview to this beautiful estate it so nice guys like rich rich people live here. When we pull up to his house wow guys all I can say is wow. This home is gorgeous. "we have arrived." He tells me. I won't lie the drive here wasn't bad considering the fact that there was traffic, and we were basically married strangers. Not really but sort of if you get me.
He opens the door for me, and I get out he take my bags and he lead the way to his house. Its so gorgeous but it feels a bit cold you can see a man lives here. He puts my bags somewhere I am told to wait for him here and I wait in the TV room making myself comfortable he walks in hold water and hands me one.
"can we finally talk?" he asks
"yea sure, what's up?" I say after taking a sip.
"well firstly I want to say that I know that this situation is not desirable. I'm not happy about this too but we should at least try to make it work. I won't sit here and lie and say I don't have feelings for you. I know how odd it sounds after us being forced into marriage, but I can 100% know that you feel the connection we have its something I've never felt, and I want to take this forward Zinhle." He says and he looks so serious about this.
"uhm... can I please think about this? Can I sleep on it actually?" I say
"yea sure. Uhm I'll give you the main bedroom and I'll sleep in the guest bedroom." He says and I simply nod
I got into his room and wow its so nice. Everything is placed neatly. But again this room is to empty especially the bed where are the pillows its so bare. Anyways I take out my pj set and my toiletry bag and go to the bathroom and take shower and change in my clothes.
I go to the bed. I open my bible I sing worship and open my bible do some journaling and go into prayer "Dear heavenly father thank you for waking me up this morning, thank you for blessing me with the life I have. I really don't know how to feel about all of this I can't deny the fact that we have chemistry. But the way we got married was not right I was forced into this, and if this is part of your will then am I not allowed to chose that's why you gave us free will right? But I also have feelings for him and idk why, but I'm scared because what I feel for him, he is different and that's what scares me. I just I need you to help me see if this is meant for me. I am willing to where this is going but I need you to help me get through this. AMEN." I say and go to bed. I hope this ends in a happily ever after.
