CHAPTER 6

1 WEEK LATER-*MBALI*
What a week it has been of MY MAN, yes MY MAN, pampering me any chance he gets and even fetching me from work yhoo mjolo omonate man. After he asked me to be his girlfriend the next day the videographer sent all the footage he took that day and I immediately posted it on TIKTOK and INSTAGRAM and it went viral but I noticed some comments saying "how can a zulu prince date a normal citizen from joburg?" prince where thleng? I'll have to ask uSiya about this soon waitse, anyway, I had a sleepover at his place last night and today I have to go to work eish this week has been a very busy week as we had to do a seasonal change with the clothes aii anywho, I was in the kitchen making us breakfast since Siya said he also has back to back meetings at work and I was so shocked when he said he had an Architectural company but it was also very insparational at the same time because im currently working on my graphic degisner degree. As I was making breakfast for us he came down the stairs and damn does my man look good in a suit yeeey nkosi onamandla
Siya:"ungangi bheki kanjalo mama I will end up taking you right here and making you late"
Me:"yhooo haii okay"
We continued talking about other things
Siya:"ohh and mama bengifuna ukhukhubuza something tuu"
Me:"okay baby?"
Siya:"so December there's a goat ceremony happening back ekhaya, eKZN and I wanted you to come with because I also want my family to meet you especially uMama noBaba"
Me:"your family already baby? Don't you think that's a bit early kana December is in 2 weeks and we just started dating this Sunday"
Siya:"it might seem like it's early but mama mina ngiserious ngawe and ngiyakhu thanda futhi, kakhulu nakhona and I wanna show you that by introducing you to them now and having them know my future wife early so y'all can bond and I know for sure uMama will love you"
Me:"future wife?"
Siya:"eya mama I see you as my wife if it was up to me I would have proposed khona Sunday but because I don't want to chase you away and scare you, so I'm gonna take it slow for you. What do you say mama?"
I looked at this man after what he just told me and honestly I can see exactly what he means when he says he loves me because he shows me everyday so why not do this one thing for him
Me:"okay baby ngizohamba nawe"
He immediately got up and came to kiss me all over my face and I was giggling as he was tickling me bandla. We finally finished breakfast and we headed to the car and he opened my door as always and he got in and started the car and off we went. As we were driving I played "EYAMI" by Lwah Ndlunkulu and I was singing along to it singing for my man kore ke in love banna!
"Mina ngijola noswalakahle
Ishinga lensizwa inkalakatha
Into engafundeki inxakanxaka
Ya shela kahle nam' ngisphalaphala
Lenkabi ngiy'thanda kakhulu
Ufike eseng'biza ngo Ndlunkulu
Uthi uzong'thengel' indlu enkulu
Wemkhulu kuzogcwala abazukulu
Lenkabi ngiy'thanda kakhulu
Dali ngiyakuzwa
Ngizophelela kini ngiyafunga
Ningabe nisang'shela
Uthando ngam'nika lwaphela
Ungichaza may'sethi "Sondela, ngiqabule weshukela wami"
Ungichaza may'sethi "Sondela, ngiqabule" aw' sweet my love"
He ended up singing with me and it was so cute. We finally reached the mall I work at and I kissed him before stepping out the car and he drove away. As I was walking inside the mall Lucia came running to me
Me:"Lucia yini manje wena?"
She caught her breath before she started speaking
Lucia:"girl do you know who that gorgeous man who just dropped you off is?"
Me:"Lucia weeeh don't you have instagram or tiktok for what you're asking me right now?"
Lucia:"no, I'm on a social media break for my mental health"
Me:"okay Lucia, just so you know his my boyfriend"
Lucia:"haaaa the prince of the most developed zulu village is dating you, a commoner?"
Me:"Lucia weeeeh watch what you say to me ngozokushaya unye nye, slima"
Lucia:"I'm just saying but like do you know how rich his family is and himself alone?"
Me:"eiii bona ne I'm not dating him for all that I'm not a gold digger like you, whose living off married man, so please tuu mind your own while I nurse mine got it?"
Before she could answer I walked away and got to work and went to the back where tumi was
Tumi:"chomi keng yanong nkare unyanye yana?"
Me:"hase selo se baring ke Lucia"
Tumi:"whuuu sfebe seo sona wentseng?"
I explained the whole interaction I had with Lucia outside and Tumi was ready to go confront her and I held him back
Me:"she's not worth it tuu sit down"
Tumi:"I'm this close legomo trapa sfebe seo"
Me:"chomi as much as you wanna do that don't forget you're biologically a man and it'll be considered GBV kana she comes from those porche families"
Tumi:"wabona geh gona stabane sometimes eii"
Then Sbusiso walked in looking like he was about to laugh and he closed the door
Sbusiso:"mbali ntwana kanti utheni ku queen of England?"
Me:"yhoo haii ema nawe I just told her to back of from indaba zami and that I don't depend on married man to support me that's all"
He burst out laughing and sat down from how hard he was laughing
Sbusiso:"that wasn't how she explained it, athi you swore at her and her whole family and degraded her"
Me:"uyanya lona"
Tumi:"wabona why kere trapa selo se marhn"
Me:"aowaa hake batle go catch'a case nna"
We laughed about the situation for a while and we finally went to work while I was on packing duty I couldn't stop thinking of what Lucia said about Siya and him being a royal prince and I did a mental note to ask him when I get home since his not fetching me today. Knock off time came and I couldn't be happier and I called an Uber and went to my apartment and as I was in the Uber Siya called
Me:"hey baby"
Siya:"hello sthandwa sam unjani?"
Me:"ngiright baby, just tired from today"
Siya:"okay baby I'm still going back to a meeting I just wanted to check on you"
Me:"okay baby but later when you done please call I wanna ask you something it's quite private"
Siya:"ohh okay mama is it serious?"
Me:"ohh no it's not baby, but I do want to know something"
Siya:"okay mama we'll talk later keh I love you"
Me:"I love you too baby"
He hung up and my ride finally reached my complex and I paid and went to my apartment as soon as I got to my apartment, I went to my room and put my bag down and went to take a shower and wore a onesie and took a nap. After a few hours I got a call and when I looked at the caller ID and it was Siya
Me:"hey baby"
Siya:"hello mama were you sleeping?"
Me:"eya"
Siya:"vuka phela mama I'm outside now so we can talk about what you wanted to ask me"
Me:"Siya kanti wena mauthanda ukhufika lana ebsuku kangaka uthwele yini?"
He laughed
Siya:"cah mama but I don't want us to talk about something that might be serious over the phone so woza phela ngiyakhu chela sponono sami"
Me:"yhooo haii okay Siya"
Siya:"and you know you're not supposed to call me by my name haa uyazi what you should call me"
Me:"hehe okay bab'khumalo wami"
Siya:"nazoke! Woza keh mama"
I hung up blushing yhoo motho waka bathong. Anyway I got up from my bed and I stood infront of the mirror and I was in my bonnet and a onesie and some puffy bunny sleepers kore I look like a little child…aii his seen me naked which is worse kuyafana nje, so I took my phone and keys and went to the gate where he was standing outside the car and when he saw me he smiled and once I was close enough to him he put his finger in my collar and pulled me to him and kissed my lips and forehead before opening the door and I got in and he got in and he turned to look at me
Siya:"saubona mama"
Me:"saubona mntungwa"
His eyes widened and he smiled
Siya:"haw haw haw ungbiza ngeithakazelo zakhithi!!"
I laughed at his excitement and he eventually calmed down. When he did we asked each other how our days went and after a few minutes he went serious
Siya:"okay mama what is it that you wanted to talk about?"
Me:"ohh well baby remember when I told you I posted the video that the videographer sent to us after you asked me to be your girlfriend and how it went viral?"
Siya:"yah?"
Me:"yah, well there were a few comments saying 'why would a royal prince date a normal citizen?' and also today when you dropped me off, Lucia said 'the prince of the most developed zulu village is dating you, a commoner?' so like that got me more confused at what everyone meant"
Siya:"ohh eish I didn't mention it to you because I thought you'd see it online but I'm a royal prince of one of the largest Zulu villages"
Gore I'm shocked is an understatement because this person doesn't even have bo bodyguard or even acts royalty like haibo. And with the stories I've heard of royal families and choosing wives and husbands who are also royalty for their children and them treating commoners like me, like trash kore gwanyewa man, Mbali wazewazi faka kuRoyal family what what
Siya:"baby?"
Me:"excuse me? Ware o eng abuthi?"
He chuckled and scratched his head
Siya:"I'm a royal prince baby"
Me:"and you want me to go with you to go see your family December so you can introduce me and you think they going to like me while I'm not even royalty ngiphuma eSoweto muntu wenkosi. uSiya waze wang faka nkosi onamandla?"
Siya:"they will baby trust me if you think my parents are going to choose a wife for me, they won't because they believe in true love and want us to find love ourselves so please don't worry about that sthandwa sam"
Me:"Siya usure?"
He held out his pinky
Siya:"pinky promise"
Me:"Siya don't do this pinky promise while you not sure because you know how serious I take my pinky promise's"
Siya:"I know hence I'm making it angithi"
I looked at his pinky and I decided to trust him and do the pinky promise with him and he kissed my forehead. After talking for an hour I finally went back to my apartment and I went back to sleep
