LOVE CONQUERS ALL .CHAPTER : 06 .
ANELE KHUMALO .
me & asemahle are walking back home after school ‚ i’m tired we had to attend two afternoon & asemahle was patient enough .
asemahle : grade 12 is exhausting hle .
me : too much no time to rest .
we chuckled ‚ then as we turned & walked into the section we live in ‚ we found the neighbours gathered around busy chatting .
“the king has passed away ‚ can’t believe it .” one of the villages said .
“then who’s about to be the next king ?”
me & asemahle looked at each other as we passed the people .
asemahle : chomi haibo .
me : i can’t believe we were chatting about the family yesterday & today the king took his last breath .
asemahle : yhooo zwelakhe will be the next king .
me : whuuu i hope it’s zamo & they disappoint you .
asemahle : i don’t care but if they are looking for the maiden to marry the next king ‚ i’ll be happy to participate .
me : go well go shine !
asemahle : yhoo i’ll see you later on baby girl .
me : sure .
she walked into her home & i also walked into my home ‚ i found mom cooking on the electric stove & the lights are on .
me : afternoon mama !
mom : hey baby .
she wiped her hands then hugged me .
mom : how was school ?
me : it was good .
mom : okay go change ‚ there’s food in the fridge .
me : okay .
i went to my room ‚ i placed my bag on the floor then changed into casual clothes & packed my uniform . i went back to the kitchen ‚ opened the fridge & i was welcomed by the smell of pizza .
me : haibo .
mom : i want my babies to enjoy .
me : enjoy ? whuuu imali kababa .
mom : i hope he sends more so that we can live a nice soft life .
me : don’t say that bazakloya .
mom : konje people of this village .
i took my two slices then sat down & started to eat .
me : what time will likhele knock off ?
mom : today he knocks off around 6pm .
me : it’s 5pm can i go fetch him ?
mom : who ? you ? unamanga !
me : i’m bored when he’s not around mama .
mom : okay you’ll go fetch him .
i nodded then after eating ‚ i washed my hands & took my umbrella then walked out ‚ i went to likhele’s workplace which is a farm . i arrived there after a few minutes ‚ i sat on the rock & watched them busy working with the plants . i felt a figure sit next to me ‚ i turned my head & looked at him . haibo sambhari hold me now .
“hey .” his deep husky voice said .
my throat went dry & i swallowed so hard as my knees got weak .
