2.The letter

691 66 6
                                    


Son, the responsibilty of king will be handed over to your younger cousin , Mulola ,just as you requested in exchange for your marriage to a bemba maiden ...we are all expecting you this Saturday ..
Yours truly,
King Chitimukulu Apalwe.

Chanda Mulenga sat in the bus seat ...reading the letter over and over.He couldn't believe that his father was forcing him to marry a girl he had no eyes for ....one that he did not love. He knew his father wanted to preserve the Lubembaland cultures and traditions but his way of doing it was wrong .

Even though he was the rebellious one and could have gone against his father easliy...he had to admit there where some perks to marrying an African girl. His new wife would cook, clean and do all he requested of her. It was the perfect plan. And then his city girlfriend, Anaiece would have a maid when they got married.

Staring outside the window of the bus he could see the vast land, green and untamed ,with a Smile he knew he was home on African soil...he wondered how much had changed since he had been away.

***

*Mulola is the bemba name for directioner ...

*Chitimukulu is the general name given to all bemba kings ....e.g Chitimukulu Sampa...

*Apalwe means "Let him be praised". Most people as you will see later on say "Lesa Apalwe " meaning "let God be praised."
