The following morning I wake up round about 9am. The wedding starts at 12pm so I am glad I still have time. I wear my gown and go to Danny’s door. I barge in and find him all cuddled up with Afrika. They seem awake and chatting.
Danny: “knock next time.”
Me: “whatever. I wanna remind you about the wedding. We shouldn’t be late.”
Danny: “I am having a breakfast date with Afee at his suite. After that then I will be all yours.”
Me: “don’t take long.”
Danny: “come on babe. I want us to have that dramatic entrance when the pastor says ‘anyone who doesn’t want these two to be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace’. That’s when we will enter and make our way to the front row.” Both Afrika and I laugh.
Afrika: “babe that will probably anger the bride.”
Danny: “who cares?” I just laugh shaking my head.
Me: “don’t be late.” I head back to my room. I find the bed already made and the housekeeper vacuuming the floor. “Morning.”
Her: “Morning ma’am. I will be done here in a few.”
Me: “take your time. I am just going to shower.”

I style my hair first, making it curly. I then do my make-up. When I am done, I get dressed in my Tshwana navy peplum boob tube top and white mermaid skirt. I pair it with navy block heels and navy Michael Kors purse. I put my wallet in the purse. I don’t even know why I have it. It’s a habit I guess. A few minutes later Danny gets in looking very handsome. He is wearing a navy Tshwana shirt and white pants with navy point toe lace-up front dress shoes.
Me: “people are going to jump into conclusion today.” He smiles.
Danny: “let them.” he dyed his hair blue black.
Me: “you look very handsome friend.”
Danny: “you look beautiful Blue.”
Me: “let’s go.” We wear our shades and we head out.
.

Pastor: “Do you Malibongwe Ncube take Kgomotso Mabaso to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for richer or for poor, till death do you part?”
Mali: “I do.”
Pastor: “Do you Kgomotso Mabaso take Malibongwe Ncube to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for richer or for poor, till death do you part?”
K: “I do.”
Pastor: “if there is anyone who have reasons to believe that this beautiful couple shouldn’t be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.”
Actually Danny stopped me from making my way in. he said he was waiting for this exact moment. Yoh he is more dramatic than Lindsay. Anyways we make our way in and all heads turn to our way. I fix my eyes on K and tears stream down her cheeks when she sees me. She mouths an ‘I love you’. I smile and whisper it back. We make our way to the front and sit on the vacant chairs.
Pastor: “what a show stopping moment!” everyone laughs.
The pastor continues with the ceremony and it finally comes to an end. The couple go to take pictures while my friends rush to me and bombard me with hugs. Thobeka and Mabutho also come to hug me.
Lee: “you back for good?”
Me: “no but I might be coming back sooner than expected.”
Zah: “you have to because there is this certain client who wants to meet with you directly and not anyone else.” I chuckle.
Me: “relax.” Danny nudges me on the elbow.
Danny: “Blue aren’t you going to introduce me?” Noma raises her eyebrows.
Noma: “Blue?”
Danny: “hi darling, the name is Daniel but if you wanna be on my good books you can call me Danny. I am Blue’s friend. Well I am the only one who call her blue because of her hair. It was either that or weird eyes but I figured weird eyes would be too offensive.” He extends his hand to Noma and she shakes it.
Me: “guys this is Danny my friend from where I came from.” They laugh. “And Danny this is Noma and Lee, my best friends; Xoli and Zah, my PAs; Mbuso and Phumudzo, their partners; Mabutho, Thobeka and Zamoh, my bodyguards.”
Danny: “you have personal bodyguards? Damn you must be Michelle Obama or something.” I just laugh.
Me: “let’s head to the reception. I am hungry. I didn’t eat anything for breakfast.”
We head to the reception hall and the décor is amazing. We head to our table and sit down. Immediately after we sit, starters are served. While eating, Kuhle makes his way in followed by Sbo. I look at Mbuso and Phumudzo.
Me: “please don’t tell me you informed him about my return.”
Mbuso: “he knew about your return as soon as you landed at King Shaka.” I sigh shaking my head.
Danny: “aren’t those the Zulu princes?”
Sbo: “in the flash.” I roll my eyes.
Kuhle: “evening everyone. You all look beautiful this afternoon.”
Danny: “is he talking to us? Are we seriously getting recognized by royalty?” he whispers loudly for them to hear. Kuhle and Sbo chuckle.
Kuhle: “you look as beautiful as always MaCele.”
Danny: “holy fuck, he knows you. OMG! I so wanna be you right now.” He says fanning himself. We laugh.
Kuhle: “can I steal her for a few?”
Danny: “you can even bring her back tomorrow in time for her flight your highness.” Kuhle chuckles and looks at me. I huff and stand up.
Me: “follow me.” I head outside and he follows me there. We meet K and Mali as they are about to enter. She frowns.
K: “please don’t tell me you are leaving.”
Me: “no honey I am not. You look really beautiful today. Like a goddess. And Mali you also look handsome.” I hug them both.
Mali: “never thought I’d live to see the day the mighty Futhy complements me.” we laugh.
Me: “even if you were ugly, I would’ve complemented you because it’s your big day.” They both laugh.
Mali: “holy fuck, it’s the prince.” He says looking at Kuhle. Kuhle extends his hand for a shake.
Kuhle: “congratulations on your marriage and I am sorry for coming uninvited.”
Mali: “oww no you are more than welcome my prince. I’d even give you my plate of the food has finished.” I just laugh.
Me: “we will see you guys inside.” I pull Kuhle outside. “So what’s up?” he smiles.
Kuhle: “you look beautiful.” I roll my eyes.
Me: “thank you for respecting my wishes and not follow me.”
Kuhle: “I love you enough to respect you. Are you back for good?” I shake my head. “When are you coming back?”
Me: “that’s none of your business Kuhle.” He smiles.
Kuhle: “you still don’t want me?”
Me: “I came for the wedding Kuhle not you. Can we not do the heavy talk?”
Kuhle: “so you are actually considering it?”
Me: “arg you are so annoying.” He smiles. “You know what, I am out of here.” I head back inside. He laughs before following me.
.

Me: “I wasn’t expecting this.” K included me in the program. I don’t even know what to say. “I am very happy for you K. you have been a great employee and a friend to me. You are literally my human diary. If someone wanted to know my secrets, they’d have to kidnap you.” They all laugh. “You are a really great person and I love your personality. I have a gift for you.” I take out a small box from my purse. “I am ordering you to open it when you come back from your honeymoon.”
K: “but why give it to me now?” she shouts. I laugh.
Me: “it’s called bekezeling.” She laughs and takes the box. “I wish you all the best babe and Mali I am expecting nephews and nieces very soon.” He smiles.
Mali: “I won’t disappoint.”
Me: “that’s all from me. Thank you and I love you guys.” I give the mic to the MC and head to my seat.
Danny: “can the speeches end already? I wanna get down and my bae is still here. He wants to come.”
Me: “you guys are already official?”
Danny: “yes.” He blushes.
Me: “you lucky fish. Your sex game is on another level for him to commit within 24 hours of you two knowing each other.”
Danny: “istove siku 6 mtase.” I laugh. God why did you have to give me crazy friends?
