FIFTHY SIX
ANASHE
Kumkani's hand tightens around mine as we walk up the driveway to his family's home. lts already late , it's been hours since we were on the road lm glad he would stop just to feed my annoying cravings .
Anashe : l can't wait to sleep already
lm so tired l don't want to lie but l'll have to stay strong for my future in-laws . l smile at that though.
He chuckles ,playfully rolling his eyes.
Kumkani: You like sulking these days neh ...
Anashe : I'm not even going to answer that , are you sure they're going to like me ?
Kumkani: just be yourself okay, ngines'qiniseko sokuthi bazo'kthanda noma kanjan (lm sure they'll love you no matter what ) ...
As we approach the door, it swings open, and a warm smile greets us .
Ma'Q :Kumkani , mfan'wam! Welcome home, son.
kumkani's mom envelopes him in a warm hug before turning to me. I know her from pictures only and l must say she's aging well .
Ma'Q : And this must be umakoti! Welcome to our home, dear.
I feel a little awestruck by the warmth and love radiating from his family. His dad,greets me with a firm handshake and a kind smile.
Bab'Q : Welcome to the family . We've heard so much about you.Abd l my say my boys know how to choose hey .
l smile more like blushing , he's a photo copy of Kumkani ...if Kumkani is to age like fine wine just like his dad l'll be a lucky woman indeed .
As we entered the house, I am enveloped in a flurry of hugs from Dintle and Samkelo ofcourse they're here too . .
Gogo, burst out of her seat, her face beaming with a warm smile.
Gogo: Ah, my child, welcome to our home.
She opens her arms wide, and I don't hesitate for a moment l just embrace her.
Gogo's hug is like a warm blanket, enveloping me in love and acceptance.
Gogo: We've heard so much about you, makoti.
she said, her voice full of kindness.
Gogo : We're so glad you're here.
Mkhulu stood up, his eyes twinkling with warmth.
Mkhulu : Ngabe nguyena umakoti ngempela lo? (ls this really our bride )
The room goes silent oh l feel my tummy turn in instant hunger ! .
Samkelo : hee nguyena mkhulu nguyena !
he says with a voice full of joy , breaking the silence . l feel Kumkani wrap his hand around my waist now l feel safe Mkhulu is giving intimidating vibes .
A creepy smiles formes on his face before he shook my hand firmly, his grip strong and reassuring.
Mkhulu: Wamuhle makoti , kusho ukuthile ngempela umfana (you're beautiful , the boy surely picked well)
Bab'Q : Yebo phela ufuze uyihlo ! . (yes he takes it from his dad)
They burst into laughter whilst Ma'Q is a blushing mess , well l don't blame her at all it seems like Qhwabe man are so charming . I can just see how Dintle is also glowing not to mention her now chubby self . l think there a bun in the oven .
Ma'Q ushers us into the kitchen, where the most incredible aromas come from the pots .And lm suddenly craving for something savoury trust these cravings to be a problem these days .
Ma'Q : Sit down, dear, you and Dintle should some of my famous umngqusho!
she says, spooning a flavorful mixture of samp and beans onto my plateand also Dintles plate.
Dintle takes a spoon into her mouth and she mourns out loud .
Dintle: Mme this is good ,lve heard a lot about umgqusho ...
before she could even finish Samkelo disturbs her
Samkelo : it's Um-ngqu-sho babe
Dintle: Aowa Samkelo asena mzulu tle (no lm not a Zulu please) but what lm trying to say we've been dying to try it out with Ragadi Stompie ....will you please share the recipy because this is really good .
Gogo : Wenza kancan lo , wait till you taste umnqusho made by me ... you'll never want to eat fancy food again .
Mkhulu: These kids don't know anything , you should teach them a thing or two ...
Samkelo: Heee thatha couple goals , you really inspire me shame .
Bab'Q : some things never change hey , Samkelo will always say things out of the blue .
Ma'Q : it's a god given talent , my son knows how to brighten the mood unlike your stiff son Kumkani ...awusho makoti how is he around you ?
l first have to chew because lord my man's mother is a good cook jealous down , finally l swallow gulping some juice . You know Gogo has been eyeing me she even has a smile plastered on her face , well that's not a bad thing right ?
Anashe: I won't lie , when we are together he becomes a giant teddy bear ...so soft and loving . He's so caring and also careful about me . He's the man l didn't know l ordered .
Already Dintle was now sniffing , haybo hormones are playing with her on the other hand Mkhulu and the rest seem proud of Kumkani . l feel Kumkani squeeze my thigh under the table l swear l didn't just feel my clit vibrate and l swear lm not using umgqusho to muffle my mourns right now.
l think l took a huge chunk because I suddenly feel like vomiting , Ma'Q shouldve gave us a tour around this house because where the hell is the toilet ?!
l quickly stood and l see worries on their faces
Ma'Q: Makoti are you okay ...
l couldn't even answer her because l was already at the kitchen sink vomiting , shit what have l done ?
