ONE DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING
Ever since i came here i haven't seen him laying on ntombi's thigh.
Well why don't you let him know you around i mean it's been 5 days since you here?
Arg I'm thinking khensani told him but then I've been trying to call him nothing.
Door opens, they calling you two closing the door thobile.
Whoah your sister is something else and who is calling us?
Atleast now you know what i was talking about.
Jeez they messed up wearing her shoes and doek come before she barges in here again i swear I'll fuck up that huge ass of hers shaking her head
Laughs yea right china let's go opening the door heading to the lounge where everyone was busy cooking some cleaning the house.
Girls all of us are busy why ain't you doing none? Looking at them both.
Uhm scratching her head.
Ntombi added, but mama we've been busy doing this and that I'm tired really the next thing will have to wake up early tomorrow it's not fair.
Hai hai ntombi shaking her head you can't complain you a girl and since when do you complain when we clean and cook?
Ahh mama I'm tired really i am.
You know what i won't argue with you take giving them money go buy some meat one of your uncles will drive you to the market i don't think this meat will be enough
Mom though they bought a cow and skinned it right there's enough meat for the entire neighbourhood.
Sindi holding her laughter uh mama it's fine will go grabbing ntombi's hand heading outside.
And then?
What was that ntombi? You can't be arguing with your mom in a time like this if she wants meat we should get it cow or no cow girl.
Yeah right so which uncle should we ask?
How about that one with a blue overall?
Uh uh no that's thula my inlaw.
Wait damn yea he really looks like my akhona the difference is that he's a bit lighter.
But we can't ask him it's wrong.
Argg well give me the money I'll go ask him myself and he can tell me where the hell is his brother.
I forget how stubborn you are as they both head to him uhm hello stretching her hand.
Uhm hello excuse my hand I've been busy with the grass wipping them off uhm ntombi smilling looking at her.
