Love Saved Me

EIGHTEEN

A YEAR LATER.

LANGALETHU

A lot has changed in a year even my uncle decided to date again and he's getting married next weekend, traditionally. I've been blaming myself because I'm the reason he divorced in the first place, I also thought I was the reason he wasn't dating kanti the guy was busy searching for Mrs Right. He's happy with aunt Sizakele, and for that I'm happy for him. Zoleka and her mom? I never saw them since the time I was preparing for going to Cuba.

Uncle :" I am too old for fancy staff, I just want a simple wedding"
Me :" Malume just sit back and watch, I won't let you have a dull wedding as if you're forced to"
Him :" fine, just tell me how much you need"
There he is right, he will be paying for everything,he doesn't want to accept help from others and I don't know if it is pride or what. To think that he now stays home full time but still he has a lot of money and I don't even want to bother myself with wanting to know where he gets it.

Me, Thembeka and Thembela are working together in  planning this wedding. Someone would swear I'm the one who's getting married because I even took a leave from work phela I want this wedding to be the talk of the whole village.

ZOLEKA

Me :" I don't understand why you want to go there and embarass yourself"
Mom :" I'm stopping that wedding,dark or blue"
Me :" ain't you the on who left dad?"
Mom :" all I wanted was him to choose us, his family but no, he chose that ugly child"
Me :" you were selfish though, Langalethu also needed a family"
Mom :" she had a family, and what she did? She caused trouble left,right and centre. She then came to break mine"
Me :" yaz I'm getting tired of talking about Langalethu everyday"
I said walking away, I stopped.
Me :" and mom, if you dare put your foot on that wedding, it's over between me and you. That man is dead to us,just let him be" she gave me a death stare while I was walking away.

THEMBELA

It's a good thing that uncle Pat's wedding will take place on holidays or else I'd miss it. I take my school work more serious now, I ended up applying at University of KwaZulu Natal and got accepted because my results were very good.
Me :" I just confirmed with the lady who will be decorating"
Langa :" both bride's and grooms attires are ready"
Thembeka :" what if they want to wear ibheshu and isidwaba (zulu traditional attires) ?"
Langa :" I thought about that,phela you never know with Patrick everything is possible"
Me :"Guys, do you think our father will ever marry again?"
Langa :" I don't know about you guys, but I really wish he finds a good woman who will not come between you guys and marry her and live happily ever"
Thembeka :" he has to marry again, that house need a mother and We're always away heneeds someone"
Thembela :" as long as he won't be marrying our mother's type"

MENZI

I just knocked off at work and I'm going home,the first person I want to see is my woman. I missed her somuch but lately she's too busy preparing for uncle Pat's wedding. Maybe I must also offer to help with preparations so that I'll be close to her. Maybe after uncle Pat's wedding we should start preparing for ours. I so can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her.

UNKNOWN.

Nomalanga thought she owned the world with her witchcraft, I remember the day she created me to be a snake. She pretended to be an old woman carrying many bags,with the respect I had I thought I was helping the old woman, not knowing that I'm going to be turned into a snake. Since then she sent me to do her evil ways and made sure to remind me everytime that she owns me. I then learnt everything, as I can now also turn myself to the most beautiful woman who helped her when she was dying. She's no help to me for now because she's paralyzed but I want her to know how it feels to be owned,to eat because your owner wants you to. By the way I'm Anathi, I'm 23 years old. I used to be a good girl but that changed when I was abducted and trapped into a small bottle.

When Nomalanga's hut was burnt I got to escape and went back home and found out that my grandmother,the only person I was left with in this world had passed away. Apparently when I disappeared she got a heart attack and died right there. See why I hate this woman right infront of me right now? She took my everything away from me, that's why I'm planning to make her walk again,I want her to go out there so that the community will finish her off because I can't do that,and I'll be standing there watching her dying.
Me :" you really don't know me?"
She shook her head.
Me :" Like I said, you used to own me,send me to do your evil ways. You turned me into everything I was not, taking away everything from me in the process. Now I am the one who is owning you. I'll heal you,you will stand up and walk again,I'll turn you into my dog and never think about double crossing me. Incase you didn't notice,you no longer have powers to hurt innocent people ever again in your life.
