CHAPTER 22 

 

FIKILE BIYELA 

 

You know when life gives you lemons and you can't even make lemonade with it that’s me right now. Its been 3 months since the elders have spoken to my husband about taking a second wife to give him a son. As much as I don’t want to share my husband but in this case I cant give him children and he cant rule if he doesn’t have an heir and I know my husband he wants to rule he wants to be king he wants to take after his father and that cannt happened if his childless. So you can imagine the drama that is going around and people will look at me as if im he one who is saying to my husband not to take another wife. So my husband has been fighting with everyone around if you pim about him and a wife ow I feel sorry for you cause he will make an example about you, so last month the elder and his father decided to marry a woman for him and that is happening today, the bride price is already paid the only thing left Is for her to be introduced to the family, trust me you I don’t have a problem because I know my husband loves me. 

 

Biyela: your mind is making alot of noise ( I look at him mmh is ability of reading minds is too much ) 

Me: mmh yes my love how was the hunting? 

Biyela: you don’t be asking me that because you know I went to hunt just for the sake of it, its different when I went to hunt for you I was so happy I even got the best animal skin that could ever be  

Me: the wolf skin ow its so warm 

Biyela : made with love, you should wear it today. 

Me: but I cant , mylove its her day I cant take that way from her. 

Biyela: mmh , you woman, you know I wont even look at her or even love her, I just want a son. 

Me: babe you need a son and I don’t mind even if you end up loving her but please be open about it, don’t put me in the dark please my love.( a knock on the door I walk to the door) 

Me: yes,( it was Bulelwa my helper she came in and closed the door ow this one doesn’t even care if my husband is here ) 

Buli: oh Kumkani, Kumkanikazi( she gives me the look) 

Me: come I want to make sure everything is going accord to the plan.( we walked out) 

Buli: hayiki Fifi that’s a baby. 

Me: what baby are you talking about? 

Buli: so this morning I went to the house that the wife is and when I got there I was shocked cause she looks like shes 19.didnt Kumkani say his okay with a 25 year old she cant be that old yhoo. 

Me: you like gossip shame but he knows that his wife is actually 20 years and she was doing he second year when her father was like girl come and marry the king.( we laughed) 

Buli: ow I feel sorry for u kumkani shame but he will deal with whatever but how are you feeling really? 

Me: to be honest, I happy that my husband will get what he needs but at the same time im scared that he will love her more than he loves me thy are going to share what I cant share with him. She is going to be the Queen mother , her son will be king what about me whats going to be of me . im scared of the future Buli. 

Buli: haike don’t worry about that if shes a bitch then I will poison her( I clap her hands) 

Me: hayi wena people will think I did that and im a witch may this be the last time you speak such things anyway lets go and see if everything is okay so I can go and get my husband dressed . 

 

We walked around checking everything, im loved her the mothers of this land they respect me because of my work for the time ive been here I built a 4 centres for children , elderly , skills day, and library its what I saw fit to have since my aim is to uplight the land. I walked back to my room and I walked in with my husband on the phone and the phone was on loud speaker he was speaking to Sengwayo ow that man is so up tight he hardly laughs. 

 

Sengwayo: you will be okay man trust me. 

Biyela: are you sure you went shown anything? Like is this it? 

Sengwayo: no man im sorry but no news is good news, I cant even say enjoy your day but try to be easy on the girl remember she doesn’t want this too and that she left her life her future was taken from her. Are you even going to allow her to continue studying? 

Biyela: I don’t know man , I haven’t seen this woman and I don’t know what she I will want. Im scared  

Sengwayo: you should be scared but a wise man once said don’t compare your wives and what you do for the other one you must do it for the other one too so that even when they fight they don’t fight with petty things. 

Biyela: that must be Dlangamadla , yah ne time is up
