What a joyful moement at the Zungu homestead everyone is happy going up and down driking their selves away. Doing what they do best and that is enjoying life and free alcohol. 3 Cows were slaughtered today, alcohol is being delivered in big trucks. Business deals are being signed and everyone is getting their order every client is happy. You'll think its cake but its cocaine inside. With the Dlangamandla and the Zungu brothers its business as usually. The Dlangamandla are so happy that they are back in businesses. When they lost the ship that had their merchandise in costed millions they were going crazy cause that meant for them to lose many businesses and having to patch here and there. Anyway at the selective room the Hlombe girls were seated on the bed while onomdade are fixing their blackdoek dipped low to veil their eyes. They are wearing the Xhosa makoti attire inhoner of their biological mothers and mother inlaw. They look so beautiful it would have been more beautiful if they were happy. Ow no they were not. Zine could feel like u Sengwayo is not himself and that he still going to make her pay for what she did cause his words are still ringing on her head. And she is scared that the man she's married to can flip this village up and down just to prove a point. On the other side Zimbini is stressed that she woke up unmarried happy with her boyfriend few hours she's someone's wife. She is miserable, scared how is she going to tell her boyfriend that she's married now. To make matters worse she doesnt even love Lwandle, yes his beautiful husband chocolate dripping man that she could eat all day and night he is a snack and full meal to her. But the problem is that or rather she thinks she doesn't have feelings or love him but then she heard lwandle loud an clear that she is his heart so whats the point. She's even scared to go against lwandles word but then we are talking about Zimbini here the one and only i dont give a f*k what you say. Together with her sister Zine they just live and breathe no care but how is that going to help them. 

 

Now everyone moved to the sitting room the mothers and sisters with young wives introduced to the fathers and their husbands the new wives 

 

Makhulu :Greetings bethuna i can see everyone is drunk im not going to say alot of things and im pretty sure the new wives are tired and they can't be too tired cause they still have to go and serve their husband. ( Zine shifts) 

Other things my children you'll learn them as time goes cause we can't say everything at once you wont even remember the first thing that was said . Wena ke Zine ingama olinikwa apha ko Zungu ngu Hlaluminam. Elingama ngeba sithi Hlaluminathi qha ndiqonda umntu omnye naye naku nguMqhele. UMqhele ke mntanam ngumkhokheli wo Sengwayo into imanxa kukho yena now that you are with him in all the decisions all the mistakes all the great opportunities Hlalauminomnyeni wakho. Uyabo unxibe kwa umqele entloko okuba kunowa lamqhele kuye entloko lihlazo kubaninzi kodwa wena uyawuthatha umbeke phezukwentloko yakhe umenomnyeni wakho. Molo Hlaluminam 

Zine/Hlaluminam: Molo mama ( a tear escaped her eye that was a stamp that she signed to be with this man for the rest of her life. Even her given name states that very well) 

Makhulu : Zimbini ntombemhlophe ngathi uvasa ngo bisi. Into omhle yona mntanam kungaske ndikufihle. ( Lwandle looked her she smiled she knows her son is very much inlove but she wonders cause lwandle has a girlfriend that she introduced to her weeks back) Sithe sakujonga that uLwandle ingama lakhe means ubunzulu bo Lwandle nothando. Ndifuna uyazi mntanam into umntanam wam akuthanda yona inzulu ifana ne gama lakhe. I gama esikunika lona ngu Hlwayela that means to sow a seed by scattering it on the soil afike ke umnyeni wakho ongu Lwandle ancenceshele ngamanzi amangenasiqalo amangenasiphelo. Wena mntanam uyi backbone yomnyeni wakho. Ekuhambeni kwexesha uzolazi igama lakho lithetha ukuthini kakuhle ngoba liyimfihlelo yale family. The names we have given to you will make a powerful meaning when the time is right. My children your mother inlaw doesn't drink tea she drinks wine, your mother inlaw wakes up at 9, your mother inlaw loves breakfast. We do have assistance ke apha u mam Nozi yonke enye into nizoyifunda ngomso ngoku i want you to.. Buli please come with the shampopo and the glasses give them also bring the shots. Dont worry nina but you must do what romans do. Give them( 3 shots were given to each of them and a glass of fine champagne and a whole of bottle of Ace each to drink.) 

 

It was now a mini family party time was now half 8. Mqhele walked over to his wife.
