Fast forward : 16 years later .



ANELE KHUMALO .



I’m busy washing my laundry outside busy singing some maskandi songs .



“ANELE !” My mother shouts .



Me : ngiyeza mah !



I stood up & wiped my hands then went inside the house ‚ I found her busy kneading the dough .



Mom : are you done with your laundry ?

Me : not yet !

Mom : okay keh ‚ when you are done can you please come help me .

Me : okay mah !



I went back outside to finish doing my laundry ‚ my brother approaches me .



Likhele : Awu stompi !

Me : stompi ? Mara yini Likhele ?

Likhele : how are you little sister ?

Me : i'm good & you ?

Likhele : ngisharp just tired .

Me : hai uqalile we have to fetch some wood in the forest .

Likhele : can’t you go alone ?

Me : ngiyintombi Likhele !

Likhele : moc they say niyimbokodo !

Me : mxm !

Likhele : let me go eat quickly then we’ll rush to the forest keh .

Me : good then .



He walked inside the house ‚ I chuckled then continued with my laundry ‚ after a few minutes i was done ‚ i hanged them on the washing line then went inside . Mom was already taking the pots outside .



Me : why don’t we pay for electricity mah ?

Mom : ugesi ? Hai inkosi ifuna imali ngathi ‚ i’ll never pay for electricity i haven’t had electricity for over 30 years now so that doesn’t bother me .

Me : okay keh .

Mom : where’s Likhele so that you can fetch wood .

Me : he’s still eating .



He came outside holding a plate ‚ His mouth full of food .



Me : sheshia sizohamba !

Likhele : Eish ngiphethwe amakaka !

Me : Hai Likhele man ‚ i have to do homeworks neh !

Mom : Likhele man !

Likhele : sorry mama ngiyadlala !



He rushed back inside while i grabbed the wheelbarrow ‚ he came back after a few minutes with an axe in his hand .



Mom : are you going to cut down trees ?

Likhele : no .

Mom : leave that axe then !

Likhele : My hands mah .

Mom : Yhooo hambani !



I chuckled then pushed the wheelbarrow & went to the forest ‚ Likhele climbed on the wheelbarrow ‚ I stopped & folded my arms .



Me : Likhele uzoy’pusha wena !

Likhele : push’a man .

Me : mxm .



I walked faster leaving him behind ‚ he came running with the wheelbarrow almost knocking me down . He then burst out laughing



Likhele : Uzowa !

Me : Uyadina sometimes .



He chuckled ‚ after a few minutes we were in the forest ‚ i started to pick the wood on the floor ‚ Likhele started to cut down the large woods & placed them on the wheelbarrow . After a few minutes we headed back home ‚ on our way back home we saw a very huge car drive past us .



Likhele : Such a nice car ‚ who’s car is that ?

Me : I’m sure it’s one of the royal people .

Likhele : The village people can also afford cars wena .

Me : It’s not like i’m looking down on the village people .

Likhele : Unamanga !

Me : Yhooo fokof !



I rolled my eyes & he chuckled ‚ Likhele is 21 years old & works at a farm . He’s annoying but i love him so much ‚ No one can separate me from him shem .



Likhele : Ngikthanda isgaxa sento .

Me : Mina ngiyakzonda !
