Enhle the girl behind the innocent face

Enhle laying on her bed thinking about what Themba told her... Suddenly called out.



Ntombi:enhle Come to the sitting room now



Enhle hesitated, sensing a comfrontation.



She told a deep breath and entered the sitting room. Her parents sat on the couch stern faced.



Ntombi:enhle we have discussed this you will marry James Smith.



Enhle stood tall.



Enhle:how can you decide on something like this without my consent.

Ntombi:we never ask a child anything we take decisions and order her what to do.

Enhle:I won't marry James that's all.

Ntombi:you ungrateful child. We've given you everything now you have to return the favor by doing what we want.



Enhle's dad stepped forward.



Him:you have no choice the wedding will proceed.

Enhle:I won't do it.



Her father's face darkened.



Him:fine you will regret this.



The room fell silent.



Ntombi:enhle's father please take her to her room. She needs to think.



Enhle's dad grasped enhle's arms..



Enhle screaming.



Enhle:Let me go.



Her dad released her slamming the door.



Enhle's father's voice echoed from outside.

Him:you will remain in this room until the day of the wedding.



Tears streamed down enhle's face.

Enhle:No this can't happen.



She pounded on the door desperate.



Enhle:please Daddy don't do this.



Her father's voice remained cold.



Him:Guards will bring you food And water. Don't try to escape.
