The curse

Chapter 23

Khanyisa
I looked at myself in the mirror after taking a shower and stood there smiling like a retard. How can a little act as this make me smile so much. I looked at the note on my mirror and smiled again than went on finishing on getting dressed in this stunning red silk dress.

Yamkelani
Yanga: What do you mean he saved her?
Me: exactly that. Read here. I passed the book to my husband smiling and just than Khulekani walks in.
Khulekani: The Jali boy dropped a package for the princess and she was laughing, like really laughing. We both looked at him.
Me: You lying Khanyisa haven't laughed in months
Khulekani: My Queen ill never lie to you, she received a note and laughed. I smiled and looked at my husband.
Me: His bringing our daughter back, oh lord please make it last. I jumped up and down squealing like a child and Yanga and khulekani laughed at me.

Nkosinye
I wore my black suite and had my red hankie in my pocket. I looked myself in the mirror just as luko walked in.
Luko:She took the first parcel. I smiled a half smile.
Me: At least ill have a date tonights function.
Luko: The media will be there and will jump at you, i have set the security detail and the restaurant is booked off for dinner afterwards. And I have a team that will follow at a distance.
Me: thank you
Luko: boss if I may ask?
Me: sure?
Luko: You have never done such for a woman? Not even the first lady, what so different about her?
Me: I don't know but all this feels right and I always listen to my gut. He nodded as I went downstairs and bumped into my baby sister.
Nokhulunga: why didn't you tell me the event is today, am not even ready.
Me: That because am not taking you today? She stopped and looked at me.
Nokhulunga: why? Have I done something? Has mom said anything to you?
Me: I have a date. She screamed and my other sister followed by my parents walked in.
Mom: Nokhu yini?( what is it?)
Nokhulunga: Bhuthi has a date( brother) she squealed some more. My mother walked closer to me and brushed my cheek like am a little boy and frankly i liked it.
Mom: Is it true? I nodded and she smiled with tears in her eyes.
Dad: Is it that girl you saved? I nodded and my dad punched the air in excitement.
Dad: well let us not keep you long, enjoy. I nodded and kissed my mom cheek and left with Nokhulunga following me.
Nokhu: Buy her flowers, and chocolate and open the door for her. Don't forget to tell her she looks lovely. Take her to a nice restaurant and don't fuck. I looked at her and raised my eyebrow.
" am sorry, i know you older than me and all but we don't fuck on the first date and its been years since you been on a date so you like a virgin"
Me: what do you know about fucking?
Nokhu: Am 20years and in varsity what do you think?
Me: Am 10 years older than you, I shouldnt be having this conversation with you.
Nokhu: well Am a girl and you taking out a girl. We hate it when men throw sexual advances on us on our first date so trust me.
Me: okay no fucking, anything else? She looked serious for a moment.
Nokhu: does she know about your curse?
Me: Not in full but she has seen me change and didnt ask questions
Nokhu: oh and your past, does she know?
Me: No
Nokhu: Tell her before you step out of the car because by tomorrow morning she will be in every newspaper and so will be your past. Best she hears it from you than from another source. And Goodluck. She kissed my cheek and ran up the stairs. My sister and I are close and she gets me so much although sometimes she too much for me to handle and hyper.

Khanyisa
I finished dressing with a black pencil shoe and the red silk dress i looked ravishingly beautiful. It cupped my boobs perfectly.it hugged me at all the right places and it was a whole open back. I didn't mind knowing we going to durban and I didn't wanna to look at the mirror cause ill se Thular markings and break down and right now I cannot. The front had a slit from my thigh going down and it was a deep neck v with long sleeves. I was flawless. I Tied my hair into a top afro bun and braided to long plates on either sides of my ears. I applied black lipstick and wore black stud earrings. My mom walked in and she was in tears.

Yamkelani
Me: oh my baby you look amazing. She smiled.
" wow, iv never seen such a dress"
Khanyisa: me too, he delivered it for me. I made her turn and there it was the big Jaguar looking marking with some writing at the bottom visible as day light. It looked like a Tattoo but I knew what it was.
Khanyisa: Is my ass showing am not wearing a panty
Me: No, you look amazing and you can't wear a panty with the dress being your second skin. You look amazing love. Did you check out the back.
Khanyisa: Don't want to see Thular markings, do they look good... white and red matches.
Me: Its complements the dress dear. The markings looks amazing. I really don't know why I didn't tell her about the markings but I guess its Nkosinye job to let him know about the markings and to tell her what happened. I wiped away the tear.
Me: oh his already here and he looks amazing.

Khanyisa
I smiled and took a clutch that came with the bag and placed my things than walked out with mom following. I got to the waiting area and dad was busy quizzing him.
Dad: She must be back by 11 not later than that,if you encounter any problems you call. He nodded.
Me: dad. He turned and looked at me with his eyes huge in shock.
Dad: wow, you look like your mother 20 years ago on our wedding. I got so shy.
Me: Thank you. He gave my mother a bunch of Red roses and she grinned and my dad rolled his eyes making me laugh. I kissed my dad cheek and turned and heard him take a sharp in take of breath. I turned and looked at him with his eyes glassy as if he will cry and I went back to him and held his hands.
Me: I love you dad and am going to come back. Remember we taking it one step a time. He nodded and i kissed his cheek again and turned and left with Nkosinye right next to me looking dashing.
