Khathus POV
What kind of evil does one call this? Why would they want to kill me. what kind of people do you call this.
"let me see that!" Mr Cele says angry. He reads the papers and looks very scared then his wife takes the papers and reads. Then she looks at her husband then looks at everyone. My dad is just pissed, Zinhle is so non chalant maybe she's used this behaviour, and everyone else is shocked. I am confused just confused idk how to feel honestly.
"what did you expect me to do huh? He disrespected me and my family, and I don't take disrespect lightly. Who does he think he is coming to my housing telling me how to talk to my daughter? Now that he married her, he wants to disrespect me? No. And then my daughter stopped talking to her parents. She's been ignoring us. Now that her husband disrespected me she now blocked us. Like I wasn't the one who got them together. This deal was to benefit me not her alone. So I had to teach you guys a lesson you can't live a good life while I suffer." He says with anger, his wife is shocked and my father well he is pissed "You Khathu you were meant to die. I don't know how you served! Dammit you were meant to be dead!!!" he says pissed look at me and I give him a death stare
"ENOUGH! You are not going to come to my house and talk to my son like that. You have some nerve Mr Cele coming to my house and confessing to killing my son. Then you have the nerve to disrespect him in front of me." my dad looks at him "from today on wards this deal is in void. I don't care. You are not getting another cent from my family."
"What!! You can't do that. The contract was made and signed you can't go back on the deal." Mr Cele says
" you forget that I control this whole operation." My dad looks at me and Zinhle " since the contract is in void you guys don't have to continue this relationship. You guys have the right to leave. And Zinhle my child you will still get shares in the business should you decide to leave." My dad says
"I don't mind continuing the marriage if Khathu doesn't mind." She says then they all look at me.
"I still want to continue the marriage too." I say
"I won't let that happen mina! Since the arrangement was that she marries this family in exchange for money and since there is no deal I want her back here with me. anyways who would want to marry this fat girl." He says
" you will not talk about my wife like that in my presence." I say looking at him
"you know what me and my family are leaving. Zinhle Sukuma manje.(Zinhle stand up now.)" He says standing up looking at her and she remains sitting next to me. " awuzwi yini? Ngithe Sukuma Zinhle.( don't you hear me. I said stand up Zinhle." She looks at them and remains
"I think she made her choice" I say
"Zinhle mamela ubabakho Sukuma. Siyahamba phela.(Zinhle listen to your dad and stand up we are leaving)" she says to her daughter.
" Ma nawe Mr Cele angiyindawo mina ngizohlala no myeni wam'. Ningahamba nisaleni kahle. (Mom and you Mr Cele I am not going anywhere I am staying with my husband. Travel safely.)" she says
"hhayi wena. I am your father stop this nonsense of calling me Mr Cele. I raised you. Not that dead man. Zinhle Lets Go!" he says again
" you are not my father and I am not going anywhere." She says
" you know what you can stay here with them. But just know that once I leave this house and I not coming back. And you are not longer my daughter. Youa re disowned by me and my wife. and I will not attend your wedding. Mkami lets go." He takes his wife and walks out with her.
Imagine her mother let her husband talk to her daughter like that. And then just follows him like that. What kind of mother do you call this? Putting a man before her child. It's disappointing to be honest. I look at her and she has tears in her eyes.
"my child are you okay?" my dad asked, now its both my parents my sibling and her brother. But he leaves soon after this happens.
"yes, can I please be excused." She stood up and left. I can only imagine how she feels. "Khathu please go check up on her." my mom says I asked my sisters to help me get to her.

Zinhles POV
I walked out of the living room feeling overwhelmed with emotion. Like how could they? Especially my mom the way she follows that man blindly is insane. How could she allow him to say all those things to me infront of her. I mean she allowed him when I was younger I thought maybe she changed but I guess you can't change a zebras strips.
I am sitting outside by the patio looking at the stars. I wish my dad was here he would have saved me from these evil people. I see Khathu being wheeled in by his sisters. I quickly stand up and help them with him. After that they asked if I'm okay I nodded my head then they left us alone.
"baby? Talk to me." he says after a long silence.
" baby I'm so sorry. My family did this to you. They hurt you because you choose to protect me, but I couldn't protect you." I say looking at the sky with tears falling out my eyes.
"Zinhle please look at my baby." He says it takes a while for me to look at him but I do. " please don't apologize for your parents actions. Just know I don't regret what I did for you. I would do it again to see you happy." He says "please tell me, how do you feel?" he asked me.
"i can't believe my mom disowned or rather allowed her husband to disown me." I sigh " l am so numb. The fact that my own mother won't attend our wedding is so sad. and the fact that they hurt to just to get back at me makes me so angry." I say " Khathu I started living again. I was happier. I allowed myself to love you and allowed you to love me. when I got the call that you were in an accident I couldn't believe God would give me a love so pure to only take it away from me. Khathu if I lost you and I found out that they were the cause I would have killed all of them trust me. Khathu I love you so much, with every fibre in me. I was just scared to loose you. And the reason why I was smothering you these past few days I felt so guilty I wanted to make it up to you Khathu." Now I am fully sobbing.
"Baby don't blame yourself. I am here now. I am here to love you till old age. I love you too baby. Please don't hold on to that baggage because I don't blame you at all. We don't need them for us to get married. We will get married weather they are present or not." He says
" are we still getting married? I mean your situation right now." I say
" yes we will nothing has changed. We might need to push the dates back but that's fine. I'll be up and running in no time." He says
" okay that's fine." I take us to the guest bedroom because it's quite late. We have few clothes here so we are fine. We take a shower and I help Khathu get into bed we prayed together and cuddled until we fell asleep. What a day.
