FIFTHY FIVE
ANASHE
Evelyn: Anashe could you please come down , Kumkani is waiting for you .
Anashe: Yes -yes lm coming , just give me a minute .
I'm lying a minute may soon turn into an hour , I think my clothes are getting too small for me ... just look l look like a balloon. You know lve been gaining weight since lve been staying with my parents . Yep lts been almost two months since lve been staying with my parents , they don't condone cohabitation so had to move in and stay with them . Melody makes her way into my room and she chuckles looking at me ... and ofcoz l frown at her infact l just feel like crying .
Melody : You've been in here for half an hour and you still not ready .
I sigh throwing the dress l was holding , joining a pile of clothes l threw on the floor .
Anashe : lm finally going to meet my in-laws but there's just nothing to wear in that wardrobe all the clothes have are tight on me ...l think Kumkani should cancel .
Melody: No ways ntombazan , let me see what l can do about you current situation .
She says walking towards my wardrobe , my eyes are so teary l just feel like crying myself to sleep then l'll possibly have eye bags the next day.
Melody : Okay , stand up ...
Anashe : What did you find in that wardrobe , l hope it's not something tight .
Melody: Nope just stand up my dear sister ...or maybe l should cast out the bad spirits in you .
l quickly roll out of my bed , Phela Melody doesn't play when it comes to bible ...she would pray for me the whole day and not get tired.l sigh looking at the yellow floral dress she's holding .
Anashe : What's that.
Melody: Why be sarcastic my sister , just put it on .
"hmm" l put it in and l smile at my looking at the mirror it's a flare floral dress .
Anashe: please pass me my black head wrap on my bed ..
she hands me the head wrap , l wrap Afro nicely and l was ready to go . Melody helps me put on my sandals .
Melody : Now just look at you , you look pretty sis .
Anashe: All thanks to you .
l say hugging her . I pull back looking at the pile of clothes and sigh .
Melody: No don't worry yourself about that I'll pack your clothes for you .
Anashe: Oh what would l do without you here , you are just the best sister . Anyways let me love and leave you before mother cones and drags me out .
She giggles as l make my way out . There stood lady dragon ready to spit fire .
Evelyn: it's about time you got done , poor Kumkani he didn't even mind you taking your on time .
Anashe (giggles) : my man is a gentleman hey.
l sway my hips going to the lounge leaving mom defeating . Kumkani stands the moment his eyes
Kumkani : Ma'Nkosi...
Anashe (blushing) : Phakathwayo
with that said he takes me into his embrace giving me on hell of a kiss .lm glad James isn't around coz wow . Someone clears their throat we both turn and it's my mother , by the way she doesn't stutter anymore and she now uses crutches to walk instead of a wheelchair.
Evelyn: My children l think you should get going before it gets late
Kumkani: okay mah nisale kahle .
Evelyn: Take care of my child , l want her to come in one piece okay ?
Kumkani: don't worry mah, let's go ...
Anashe: Bye mother.
l blow her a kiss , before walking out handing hand with Kumkani.
