ZWELAKHE NGWENYA .
he kept looking at asemahle’s text over & over again .
“did you invite my friend anele to the ceremony ?”
zwelakhe sighed & called her ‚ she picked up after the second ring .
asemahle : “my king. ”
zwelakhe : “i didn’t invite your friend .”
asemahle : “unamanga ‚ why is she always jealous ? are you f*cking her ?”
zwelakhe : “uyanginyela manje hlehle .”

zwelakhe : ”impress me wena & you might be lucky .”
asemahle : “entlek entlek i’ve been meaning to ask you ? are we dating ?”
zwelakhe : “no ‚ we are just friends .”
he smirked ‚ asemahle sighed over the phone .
zwelakhe : “bye bye ‚ ngizokbona ksasa .”
asemahle : (breaking voice) “okay my king .”
he ended the call then sighed & laid down on his bed .
“damn this girl is obsessed with me & that might damage her .”
he closed his eyes & slowly drifted off to sleep .
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐘 .
zwelakhe woke up around 7am ‚ he made his bed then went to the bathroom ‚ he took a shower ‚ lotioned then wrapped a towel on his lower body ‚ & went back to his room ‚ he dropped the towel ‚ wore his undergarments then wore his white shirt ‚ black pants & white sneakers ‚ he finished off with the animal skin on his shoulder ‚ he then puffed his cologne & wore his watch . thulisile knocked.
“COME IN” he shouted .
thulisile walked in & smiled .
thulisile : mfana ka mama .
zwelakhe : mama .
she fixed his collar then kissed his cheeks .
thulisile : i hope today you’ll choose a good queen .

thulisile : haibo lakhe .
zwelakhe : don’t worry i’m putting them to a test .
thulisile : hehe usile ‚ let’s go the ceremony starts at 9am .
zwelakhe : yhoo weh .
they walked out & went to the front yard ‚ that’s where the ceremony will take place ‚ a very huge tent has been installed .
𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 ‚ asemahle left first with the maidens to the palace ‚ anele followed behind after a few minutes with other maidens busy singing . they reached the palace after an hour & they met with asemahle at the gate ‚ asemahle saw anele & her heart started racing ‚ she pulled anele to the side .
asemahle : ufunani lah wena ?
anele : the king invited me .
asemahle : unamanga !
anele raised her hand & showed her the promise ring ‚ asemahle is pissed .
anele : asambe phela .
asemahle : you won’t win i promise .
anele : jealousy will kill you chomi .
asemahle : chomi ? i’m not friends with a snake .
anele : at least i didn’t force things with the king .
she walked past her swaying her hips side to side & walked into the palace ‚ asemahle screamed in annoyance then went inside the palace ‚ maidens from other villages are here ‚ also princesses from other kingdoms . asemahle spots zwelakhe & blushes ‚ anele just keeps looking at asemahle & chuckles ‚ entlek ubani osile between this two ???
