ZIYANDA

Chapter 25

The alarms starts ringing , I touch my bed continuously looking for the ringing sound with closed eyes I grab the phone and the time is only 06:30 damn I'm late for wifely duties I stand up and make the bed only then do I realize that Likhona is sleeping on the sofa his neck is lying abruptly hanging on the sofa

I walk to him and try fixing his neck he starts moving and he slowly opens his eyes
"Why are you sleeping on the couch ?"
"I didn't want to get a hard time from you or get you thinking that I'm taking advantage of you "
"Okay fair enough get up and sleep I'm going to the house "
"Why?"
"Wifely duties as your mother would call it "
"You doing a good job in the wife department "
"In some parts yes "
I leave him like that it's still a bit awkward and I can tell he wants to say something but he's holding himself of which I don't actually care

I take a nice well deserved shower well while rushing of course , I don't know how I'm actually going to dress up I walk outside wearing a towel around my waist
He's sitting on the bed with a laptop on his lap he's typing and honestly just too busy
"Likhona "
He concentrates on me right after running his eyes along my body
"I need to get dressed "
"Okay"he gives me an amusing smile
"There's nothing I haven't seen before "
"Yeah well things have changed it's no longer how you left it "
"Okay can I see the new changes "
"It's only applicable to qualifying people unfortunately you don't now please get me some privacy "
"I will go take a shower then cause I can't get chased out of the cottage "
"Why not ?"
"Of course you would ask that "he jumps out of the bed and walks inside the en-suite giving me enough time to look for an outfit and get dressed

I wear my Gucci takkies , a silk skirt , my polo neck and cover my shoulders with a shawl and I have a doek on my head
I puff some perfume though I know it's gonna fade sooner than expected due to the amount of work I am about to do
I go inside the kitchen and guess what the people are already up and about the kitchen baking , and even cooking

I dish some food for my husband and make some tea for him and I go to the cottage to give him the food
"Likhona"
He's still on the bed wearing a black raiders hoodie with Nike shirts not going to lie my husband is sexy y'all
"I brought you some food "
"Thank you "
I place the food on the stand next to him and I head back to the kitchen I haven't seen my son all day

The rest of the day continues and the ceremony finally ends , it truly was a hectic day for me I was really just so up and down Ntando was introduced to the ancestors and incense was burnt for him and he even has a small Rolex watch (isphandla) it's my first time seeing a 4 month old baby wearing isphandla
He's been with his Aunts and Grandmothers ohhh how much they adore him

I am in the kitchen washing the dishes , Aunty Dumile calls my name
"Sorry my darling but can you please dish up for the uncles outside "
I can't complain it's wifely duties ke sana I happily oblige and take the spoon and start dishing all the salads and the main meal the food was actually very nice
I take the tray with food and head outside where the new uncles that just arrived are sitting

"Sanbona "
"Makoti siyajabula ukukubona "
"Kujabula mina no malume "
"Umshana wakhetha kahle la"the one wearing a brown hat speaks out
"Siyakwamukela ekhaya "the one with the grey cap chimes in
I am interrupted from the moment by Likhona's voice
"Sanbona no malume"he places his hand around my waist which gives me tickles electricity running through me since that was unexpected
"Ndodana "he handshakes them
"Bengisacela ukuthatha umkami ngiyamdinga"
"Hawu khululeka Shana"
His hands are still around my waist , he whispers in my ear
"Let's go to the cottage "
I say goodbye to the uncles and he holds my hand a gesture he hasn't done for a long time

As soon as we enter the cottage he closes the door and the smell of aloe and some fragrance catches my nostrils there's a small tub basin next to the bed he sits me down on the bed and takes off my shoes then starts massaging me , indeed I had been so tired running around the yard all day
"You are my wife not a slave "
"Who taught you how to say my wife you have been pressing it these days ?"
He looks up at me
"I just realized I couldn't lose the same thing twice "
His eyes bore holes into mines , he gives me a nervous smile the chemistry has always been there but the pride also lives rent free

He continues massaging my arms and he prepares bath water for me I am honestly so grateful after changing into pyjama's I apply my skin care routine products and throw myself on the bed only then do I scroll on my socials and I post the pictures londi took of me in the morning
