SIKOLETHU MBATHA
"For you are the future of our land , the rightful heir of our Village! Buya ekhaya nkosazana usikhulule." (Come back home princess and free us.)
"Wena waseNgonyameni !!!" A bunch of voices praise.
"Uma udinga uphawu cela , sizokunika. Ndaba! Magadlela! Bukhosini! Mhlungu waseNdlunkulu! Ncama ngethusi! Gina!" The deep woman's voice chimes.
My alarm rings waking me from my slumber , I'm not even shaken by these dreams anymore because they've became a daily thing if I can put it like that. I grab my phone from the bedside table and the time reads 00:00 so i get out of bed and kneel on the side and start praying. After my prayer , I'm disturbed by a hard knock on my bedroom door. I stand and go open
Thube : "Hi love. Have you seen or spoke to my fiance today?"
Me : "No sis , I last spoke to him when they were about to reach Tongaat." We walk to the kitchen
Thube : "Me too and I'm worried now." I honestly also don't feel so good about this. A knock comes through and Thube goes to open
Thube : "Aw baba , ninjani?" I hear her from the other side.
Man : "Ndodakazi." He nods at me before looking at me intensely.
Thube : "Uhm babes this is bab'Dlamini and baba this is.."
Bab'Dlamini : "Oh I know her. Sikolethu , uSiko laseNgonyameni. Ah Ndlunkulu. They need you at home."
Me : "Honestly baba I don't know what to do now. I've been trying to understand all my dreams but I'm blank."
Bab'Dlamini : lalela inhliziyo , izokuhola ikuyise ekhaya. Musa ukunqaba uma ubizwa , lalela abakutshela kona ungazibi." (Listen to your heart , it will lead you home. Don't say no when you being called , listen to what they telling you don't ignore.)
Me : "Yebo."
Bab'Dlamini : "Now. Your husband's have both been captured by the person they went to seek help from."
Thube : "What do you mean baba?"
Bab'Dlamini : "Don't worry , nothing will happen to them cause your husband Ndlunkulu is very powerful. They'll be back in one piece." We nod.
Bab'Dlamini : "Walk me out. Usale kahle Ndlunkulu."
I just make breakfast just to pass time and escape thinking too much. Thube walks in just as I dish up for us.
Thube : "Thank you baby." I smile.
Me : "Don't you think we should get a private investigator?"
Thube : "We tried that to dig up information about your mother's background but nothing was found."
Me : "What?"
Thube : "Yep , apparently her information is highly secured and with many codes needed to unlock some of her information."
Me : "Wait codes? I remember a book of her I found in her belongings and it had many numbers inside , what if those are the codes?"
Thube : "where's the book?"
Me : "I hid it with all our albums back home. She used to say that book was for her calculations in life."
Thube : "Will you still be able to remember where you hid it?" I nod.
Me : "Yes. And why we never thought of asking those siblings of hers ukuthi where are they from?"
Thube : "Broo!! I feel so dumb right now."
