Love Saved Me

NINETEEN

LANGALETHU

Today is the wedding day, I've been up and down the whole week preparing for it. I hope it goes well because I don't want any distruction today.
We've been practicing the traditional songs and dances,so we're ready for people from the bride's side.

Thembeka :" how come we don't have other relatives, it's just us?"
Me :" I'm just glad that my uncles sorted out their differences because it would be just the two of us and the neighbours"
Thembeka :" I'd be here, I never had any beef with uncle Pat"
We were all talking while putting on our outfit for the day.

We finished wearing and went to the tent where the pastor will be blessing the couple. It was already full, my uncle is well-known. We all sat down, I looked around. We really worked hard, everything was on point.

My phone rang, it was Menzi so to avoid causing distruction I walked outside to find him standing next to the tent.
Me :" hau, I was about to answer your call"
Him :" I wanted to see you first, do you know how I missed you?"
Me :" stop being dramatic,you were here yesterday"

I saw Zoleka's mom passing by. What does she want here now? And who wear black clothes on the wedding?
Menzi :" babe"
Me :" mmh"
Him :" I was talking to you"
Me :" I'm sorry babe, let's get inside"

When we got inside the pastor has finished uniting the couple,we then all went outside and sang while dancing. Aunt Sizakele distributed the gifts to the family and then we dished for the guests.

Me :" why are you sneaking in someone's house?"
Her :" I should be asking you that"
Me :" are you here to kill someone? I don't understand why would you wear black clothes in someone's wedding unless you're a witch, I heard witches likes black"
Her :" this is my house rubbish"
Me :" how? Because the house owner is the one getting married"
I knew that I was pissing her off and I knew exactly who she was.

I walked back to the cave with the plastic bag full of people left overs. Nomalanga will be eating them for a long time. I'm tired to be nursing her. I'm starting to regret why I even rescued her from the first place.
Me :" here, I worked very hard to get you that and you better save it because it should last you for the whole week"
Her :" thank you"
Me :" there's no need to be thanking me, I will be back"

I went home to break my heart even more because the house was closed,no one opens the windows,no one walking outside. My grandma would be busy walking around the yard fixing things that doesn't even needs fixing , she would be shouting at me for being lazy but that's nolonger happening.

I sat down on the door step, I suddenly felt asleep, I opened the house and got Inside and slept on the sofa.

Me :"you're back?"
Her :" I came to tell you to let go, there's too much anger building up inside you and it's dangerous for you. Now that I know you're alive I'll be resting in peace. Stop what you're planning to do, someone will come to help you and get you back to your old self. Now please don't go back to that cave, stay here until you get help"
Me :" if it wasn't for that woman you'd still be alive gogo, we would still be happy. I was happy with you,now I'm alone"
Her :" You're not alone and don't worry it will be okay"
Me :" please don't leave me, please!!"
She disappeared.

I woke up to a loud bang on the door. I wonder who would knock like that in someone else's house. I decided to ignore them unless they decide to knock like a sane person.
Wait, I just dreamt about my grandmother and she told me to forget about Nomalanga. How do I forget about her because I have to deal with her.

LANGALETHU.

Uncle Pat :" This was a success because of all your hard work,thank you"
Me :"malume this was a success because of you,if it wasn't where would we get money for all this?"
Uncle :" but you should go back to work now"
Me :" you're kicking me out?"
Uncle :" why would I do that? I just want you to be free and now you don't have to worry too much about me because you won't be leaving me alone"
Me :" atleast I will be seeing you everyday"
Him :" and about that I think it's better if you and Menzi works at the same place  because he misses you"
Me :" but it's okay like this, when we're always together we might end up boring each other"
Him :" you've been together for how many years? Did you bore each other?"
Me :" it's different now malume"
Him :" atleast think about it"
