CHAPTER 5
*INSERT 5*BASETSANA.
After 5 hours I'm still at the shop waiting for my dress. Luckily Suzan(Designer) is doing the final touch ups and the make-up artist did an amazing job on my face . I open my data and messages come flooding in. from my bestfriend , colleague from work and mostly from facebook.
Shiit. I log in on facebook and I come across wedding pictures on my news feed that were uploaded just 2 hours ago, I decide to look at them just to pass time. And I'm shocked to see that the wedding pictures are actually for my sister's wedding. What? the wedding long started?, How could they do this to me. I'm so hurt I don't wanna lie. But they said the wedding starts at 12'Oclock. I can't even see who the groom is because of people behind him, my sister is so gorgeous you guys. I don't even go through the comments section, I log out.
I'm startled by Suzan giving me my dress. I don't even thank her I make a run for it heading to the rank to catch a taxi. I'm in the taxi trying to call Zakhele he's not picking up. I decide to stop at his place first to check on him, watshwana the wedding long started without me It's not like it matters not that it even mattered in the first place for me to be there moc.
I get off the taxi at the stop sign and walk a 2 minutes journey to his place. And there are a lot of people going in and out of his house preparing a feast, Ohh I heard him few weeks back talking on his phone about doing a ceremony .I turn back and head to my house, I'll see him on another day.
I arrive home and people are already wearing traditional clothes, this means the couple is also wearing tradition. I run to my room and wear my blue and white traditional sotho dress, sotho beads and I cover my head with a traditional doek that matches the dress. My Aunt gets inside my room while I'm still fixing the beads on my wrist.
Aunt: Wow you look beautiful as if you're the one getting married.
I laugh.
Aunt: Well where were you child?
Me: Aunt Suzan accidently gave away my dress and I had to wait for her to design me another one.
Aunt: And I told your mother to wait for you?
Me: It doesn't matter anymore aunt you know how mom is, where are they?
Aunt: I think they are at the reception now.
I finish with fixing my beads and open the door to leave.
Aunt: What ever happens please take heart my baby.
Me: What are you talking about aunt?
Aunt: Nothing, I love you.
Me: I love you too aunt.
I go straight to the reception as I get in I'm shocked at the person standing at the podium maybe he's just being nice to give a speech I let it slide and sit near the door because It's packed. But It's when I hear the words his saying that gets my attention.
.....I'll always love you, and love you only. Come here my love.
My sister stands up and goes to him.
I can't believe all along the groom is actually Zakhele Khuzwayo. Oh it explains the secrets he had, not answering his phone near me, distancing himself, my sister never wanting to show me his boyfriend, the lie about being away on business, the ceremony at his place, My aunt saying I should take heart and what hurts the most is when I found a used condom under his bed and he said he's brother was the one using his room and I believed him. He led me on for a year while he knew he was going to marry my sister.
The question is why he was forcing me to sleep with him.
