TWO MONTHS LATER!!!!
#NARRATED
Dlamini was on his way to Mount Edgecombe after being directed by Vusumuzi.
Dlamini : "You can go down the road to my sister's house , I'll find you there." He told his driver after stepping out of the car. He rang the intercom and was buzzed in a minute later. Walking the short distance of the driveway , he was praying softly. He was about to knock when the door opened
Ntombi : "Sanibona baba. You may come in." He thanked her and entered. Ntombi led him to the lounge where Siko's parents were sitted waiting
Dlamini : "Awu boZikalala."
Vusumuzi : "ninjani ndoda yamadoda." They shook hands.
Dlamini : "ay siyavuka mfowethu , akufani."
Manto : "uhm can I get anything to drink?"
Dlamini : "No thank you. Im not staying."
Vusumuzi : "Ohhh."
Dlamini : "Please get me everyone here." Manto went to get Thubelihle
Vusumuzi : "Siko isn't here thou , she had to go to the mountain yesterday."
Dlamini : "I am aware , she doesn't have to be here." Manto walked back in the lounge followed by Thube and a hyper Senkosi. .
Dlamini : "Zikalala , vusa umuzi wakho njengoba igamalakho elisho." (....build your home , just like your name states.)
Dlamini : "Okok'qala. Cleanse yourself and your family. Kuzomele wenze nembeleko yazo zonke izingane zakho , nesezadlula emhlabeni kodwa ngaphambi kwakho lokho , mase sewuhlambile nomndeni wakho , ngenisa idlozi lakoZikalala emagcekeni ukuze kungabi nantukuthelo yabaphansi." (First things first. .... You have to do a welcoming ceremony for all your kids , including the ones that passed on but before that , when you've been cleansed with your family , introduce the Zikalala ancestors to your new house so to avoid angering the ancestors.)
Vusumuzi : "Yebo baba." He clapped twice.
