chapter 38

Nomzamo's POV

I look at myself in the mirror one last timee
Alilililili (ululations) today it's the 24th of September and we are celebrating heritage day in South Africa this is the day I realised that I was special the day the voices began

The very same voice that led me to nkosenye and so far it's not good
I'm standing infront of the mirror wearing my full traditional attire with bracelets and anklets you names it nje

Well today buhle my cousin's is umemelo and I'm so happy for her I've been at my in-laws a lot these days and I guess it's because of the the continuous rituals that we have to do

Amahle being Amahle barges in my room wearing a beautiful blue Ankara dres with sandals her weave is tied to a back ponytail

Me:"wow you look so respectful"

Her dress just had to have thigh high slit she can't wear something really long and mom revelatnt well me being me I'm revealing every part of my body well my skirt isn't that long and instead of the beaded takkies I'm wearing the latest white edition puma takkies with imkhehle

I love celebrating the diverse cultures shame my father in law rubbed it off on me
Well mam dlamini (ma) is also going with us it's going to be me ,amahle ,Baba and ma kuphela

I would be really grateful is Nkosenye didn't come he's my least favourite person today I woke up like I wasn't even hurt yesterday making amahle not to believe me le ikholwa ngokubona

Amahle:"makotiiiiii"

Me:"you making me old "

Amahle:"wena you are the newest version of umakoti "

Ma:"lalela nelisiwa sibiya sees nothing on me "

Amahle:"weeeeh haiii kahle ke don't lie to yourself phela "

Me:"hauuuu "

I pack my things and we leave olwethu and Baba whitsle when they see me in a full attire

Ma:"kwathi angikikize kodwa I'm saving it for that day "

Ma'ol:"ma there's only like a 2 months left "

Ma:"kodwa ke ngifuna ufike ngisa freshhhj"

Dad:"wamuhle we ndlangamandla"

Ma:"sbonge magaduzela"

Ma'ol:"the ancestors were really in another mood when they chose you for us   "

Me:"imma take that as a compliment "

Nkosenye comes down looking at his phone he seems too occupied by it when his eyes land on me he freezes and his jaw drops

Me:"vala umlomo"

He shakes his head like coming from a trance and takes a seat next to me
We eat our breakfast laughing here and there Im leaving today

Amahle:"mngani let's take some pictures phela "

Me:"wait let me gloss up first "

We go outside and start taking some beautiful pictures and of course they are going to be posted on my socials it's a wonderful holiday phela today

Nkosenye's POV

I watch the family as they engage in different types of conversations with Nomzamo she really looks so happy

I think back to what she said yesterday I don't want to be in love and be committed to only one person it just causes heartbreak I'm scared of the way this girl is making me feel
