MENZI NDIMANDE
He arrives outside the palace gates and asks for Melusi , he's questioned a lot by the palace guards since he's known as kings Nkosenye Xulu by the villagers . So one guard just went inside the palace to send a message to the king .
Guard : My king (bowing)
Melusi : yes what's wrong.
Guard : There's a man by the palace gates that claims to be looking for someone called Melusi in the palace but l told him that there's no one thats-
Melusi : Let him in .
Guard : l should let him in ?( Melusi gives h a death stare ) oh okay yes my king .
the guard approaches the palace gates .
Menzi : And ?
Guard : you may go in the king says so .
Menzi : Hmm
he drives until he enteres the compound before walking out following the guard .
Guard : My king here is the man .
Melusi looks up and he's shocked to see that it's his friends brothers or rather should l say late friend?
Melusi : Menzi ?
Menzi : So you are the so called king (chuckling)
Melusi : You may go ( to the guard) what do l owe you to deserve this visit?
Menzi takes a seat .
Menzi : You were the last person to see my sister isn't it ?
Melusi : why you asking ( keeping a straight face )
Menzi : l got to her apartment a month ago and no one was there till today l haven't seen her was something bothering her ... l feel like she's no more .
Melusi : you think she committed suicide ?
Menzi : Lisakhanya us a strong woman , l doubt she would do that but with her sudden disappearance l think she pressed someone's buttons and she might be held hostage somewhere .
Melusi : And you remember she had made enemies before but the time we met she told me she wanted to travel around the world maybe she has decided to do so ..
Menzi : How , she can't just go with telling me .
Melusi : You know Lisa is a big girl, maybe she forgot to let you know .
Menzi (sighs) : perhaps you're right, ( standing) sorry for bothering you this late lm just worried about her .
Melusi: You have every right to be worried ,maybe you'll join her soon...both of you traveling around the would .
Menzi: l hope so +smiling) anyway let me go , we shall meet someone other time .
Melusi nods as Menzi walks out , he quickly grabs his phone contacting one of his boys .
Melusi : l want you to capture Menzi Ndimande right away !
:Sure thing boss .
He drops the call .
Melusi : l want no loose ends .
he says to himself .
MELUSI NKOSENYE XULU
As l drop the call , Mkhabayi appears from no where ... she loves doing that .
Mkhabayi (burping) : Inkosi ngiy'khuzile ...you are not going to kill anyone today .
Melusi : I don't want loose ends Mkhabayi !
Mkhabayi: Ngyakuzwa but if you keep on killing people it'll only affect your loved ones more instead of you ...so let him go , whatever you told him is enough .
l sigh nodding before she disappears .
meanwhile Ashanti was eavesdropping , she heard everything but she doesn't care about what Melusi does expect she wants him to be able to love her like before . She tip toes snaking her arms around Melusi's waist and he tenses up.
Melusi : Ufunan ? shouldn't you be sleeping ...
Ashanti : uhm l can't sleep and remember phela we share a bed so you can't expect me to sleep alone.
Melusi (chuckling) : isn't that what you've been doing when lm not around "sleeping alone" ... now if you'll excuse me lm going to the guest room . ( pulling of her hold)
Ashanti : so this how things will be .
Melusi : I don't know what you talking about .
Ashanti : you no longer love me Nkosenye , you don't look at me in the same manner anymore ...lm no longer your priority ( crying)
Melusi: l don't have time for this ( walking away) and another thing you need to stop this behavior of yours of acting like a crazy wife ...it's unattractive !
With that said , he walks away leaving Ashanti alone with tears streaming down her face .
Melusi head's to one of the guest rooms Thingoluhle is using with the world's widest smile on his face . He slowly opens the door walking in and there she was lying in the bed looking all innocent with her bandage still on . he sits next to her listening to her soft snores...he brushes his hand on her melanin skin " it's so soft" he mummers before getting close to her making her lie on his chest and he closes his eyes in search for some sleep .
