LOVE CONQUERS ALL .CHAPTER : 05 .
ZWELAKHE NGWENYA .
i’m taking a walk around the garden admiring the beauty of this place ‚ my phone starts ringing ‚ i take it out of my pocket ‚ “Banoyolo” flashes on the screen ‚ i answer the call .
banoyolo : “zwelakhe !”
me : “hey .”
banoyolo : “how are you & how’s the village ?”
me : “i’m good & the village is quiet peaceful ‚ not much noise .”
banoyolo : “mhmm glad you enjoying ‚ i already miss you bro .”
me : “you miss our friendship or you miss my d*ck ?”
banoyolo : ”i miss our friendship but mostly your d*ck .«
me : “mxm ‚ uyithanda kabi ibanana yami .”
banoyolo : “phela uyakwazi ukwishaya mfo .”
me : “get yourself a boyfriend .”
banoyolo : “what if eyakhe incinci ?”
me : “haibo banoyolo.”
banoyolo : ”yes ‚ phela eyakho can satisfy me .”
me : “what ngifumane igirlfriend ?”
banoyolo : “i won’t survive shem .”
me : “askies ube strong .”
banoyolo : “usile .”
i chuckled as our convo continued ‚ well banoyolo is a friend with benefits of mine ‚ we met three year ago & we are pretty close . i felt a slight tap on my shoulder i turned & it’s unathi ‚ she has tears in her eyes . i ended the call & held her hand .
me : what’s wrong ?
unathi : baba wants to see you .
me : so ulilela ntoni ?
unathi : uyashona bruu !
she started sobbing loud ‚ i hugged & brushed her back .
me : shhh it’s not yet time stop crying .
unathi : no but i won’t cope without him .
i pulled out of the hug & wiped her tears .
me : big girls don’t cry ‚ asambe !
i held her hand & we walked into the palace together ‚ we went to dad’s chamber ‚ i knocked then we stepped inside . i found both my moms in the room . dad raised his head & coughed .
dad : give us some space .
they stood up & walked out ‚ unathi also followed them ‚ i sat next to him .
me : timer !
dad : you don’t want to be the next king ?
me : it’s not that ‚ but dad zamokuhle is the rightful heir to the throne !
dad : you are the rightful heir .
me : yhooo not this again .
dad : i’m serious zwelakhe !
me : i don’t want to be a king baba !
i heard a loud thunder rumble & dad started coughing .
dad : you are the next king zwelakhe ...(coughs) .. take care of my people the kingdom is yours .
he started coughing out loud & the loud rumble of thunder was making me anxious ‚ he stopped coughing & closed his eyes ‚ the thunder stopped ‚ i looked at him & my heart started racing .
me : timer !
i held his hand & i couldn't feel a pulse ‚ tears rolled down my cheeks & i laid my head on his chest . he’s GONE !! my whole family rushed into the room ‚ the minute they saw me crying ‚ unathi ‚ Kayden & mom also started crying then ma ngwenya collapsed .
mom : HAI NOT MY NQOBIZITHA !!!
she sobbed out loud ‚ my heart broke into a million pieces to see my family cry like this ‚ my brothers looked at me & covered their faces ‚ i know they are trying to fight their tears .
