DESTINED SOULS

a match from the heavens

By: Z.K Mnguni

INTRODUCTION.

[8 YEARS AGO]
Let's take a journey back to the past now shall
we...Anesu was the first girl her mother gave birth
to, she never knew her biological father but she
grew up being raised by her mother and her
younger sisters (Mwandle) father who passed away
few months after Mwandle Thingokazi was born.

He has an illness no village doctor nor tradition

healer could cure back in those days. Anesu's
mother was left broke and shatter since she had to
raise her girls alone.

Anesu was born with Vitiligo which is a skin

condition characterized by the loss of pigment
producing calls which results in white patches or
spots on the skin. Children at school would bully her
and call her names, despite being the brightest
learner in class she did not enjoy going to school
that much.

Her mother would find her crying and she would tell
her the story of the day she was born, she said it
rained for the whole week and that was the sign
from the gods above that she has given birth to an
angel. She would tell her that despite people's bad
views of her she shouldn't forget that being
different makes her unique and that she has a
brightest future ahead of her.

One afternoon Anesu and Mwandle were sent by

their mother like usual to go fetch some water at
the river, that afternoon the clouds had changed
from clear white to grey signifying that a huge
storm was approaching. On their way to the river
they did not know they were being followed by a
group of bullies.

They were not far from the river and Anesu could
hear the sound of the water flowing in great force,
she felt at piece hearing the sound of the water and
they arrived at the river she wanted to soak her feet
inside the water but at the sametime she did not
want to get washed away because the water was
very strong.

while they were filling their containers with water

the bullies came out from hiding.

Bully1: well well well look what we have here

Bully2: it's the Zebra and her little sister

They laughed and Anesu got angry from hearing the

nickname they call her with at school.

Anesu: I'm not a Zebra my name is...

Bully3 interrupts her.

Bully3: save that for someone who cares we don't
care about your stupid name

Bully1: yeah tell her

They got closer and Anesu steps back with her sister
hiding behind her, the bullies laughed one more
time.

Anesu: what do you want from us?

Bully2: we want answers

Anesu: answers to What?

Bully1: answers to how you are able to get such

high grades because last time I checked Zebras did
not have brains
Anesu: I'm not a Zebra

She started crying.

Bully2: or maybe it's the witch mother of yours who

gave you herbs to cure your dumb-ass brain

Mwandle: mama I not a witch! (shouts)

Bully3: oh shut up you...

The bully tried to grab Mwandle but Anesu pushed

him away.

Bully1: so you want to fight huh? let us fight then

Anesu: Thingo run (whispers)

Mwandle: what about you sister? (whispers back)

Anesu: just...

She couldn't complete her sentence because one of

the bullies pushed her inside the river and the great
force of the moving water swallowed her up. She
couldn't swim and she was pushed from shore by
the water. She could hear a loud sound of water as
if it was falling from a high area, that's when she
realised that the river leads to a waterfall.

She shouts and screams for her help but when she
reached the waterfall, she dropped down along
with the water which flowed down. There was no
way she could have survived that.
Out of fear the bullies ran away and little Mwandle
cried while running back home, she kept shouting
her mother's name till she reached the house.

Mwandle: mama! mama! (breathing heavily)

Abuse: why are you shouting Thingo? where is your

sister?

She looked behind Mwandle in hope that Anesu

was behind her but she wasn't.

Mwandle: we were at the river....the water...the

bad bullies came...they...they...(breathing heavily
and crying)

Abuse: Thingo breath and tell me what happened

Mwandle: they pushed sister

Abuse: they pushed her where? is she okay?

Mwandle shook her head.

Mwandle: they pushed her inside the river mama, it

wash her away mama

Abuse: what! take me there

She left with Mwandle and went to the river, she

shouts Anesu's name with her heart racing but
there was no response.

She started panicking and it started to rain. Abuse

ran back to the village crying like a mad person. She
asked for help and told the villagers that her
daughter was pushed inside the river and that she
cannot find her.
"you mean that big river?"

Abuse: yes please help me find her, she's very you

and...

"Asophinde umthole (you will never find her) there

is a waterfall there and there are crocodiles there at
the bottom, I'm sorry but I can't risk our lives we
have families to take care of," everyone nods
agreeing with the guy.

Abuse: you don't understand my daughter is alive

"uyahlanya yini lona (is she crazy?) one of the lady

whispers to the other and they laughed.
The villagers left, Abuse confronted the mother's of
the children which were responsible for pushing her
daughter into the river but no action was taken.

Abuse spent months searching for her daughter

because she still believed that she was alive she
says to everyone who tell her to stop searching "I
can feel it in my bones, my daughter is alive." that's
when they started to think she was crazy, they
stopped paying attention to her at all.
.
.
.
[20 YEARS LATER]
It was Saturday and the sun was out, birds singing
and people were out with their families. The beach
was packed, children chasing one another and
swimming with their friends, some surfing perfectly
on the beautiful waves formed by the sea and some
making sand castles.
Man having chats filled with laughter while grilling
some meat and talking about soccer, ladies
gossiping because that's the one thing they are
good at.

A beautiful girl with messed up huge afro hair

appeared coming of the beach naked, she looked
really pale and lost. She was confused as were the
people around her, she had no fish scales, no sharp
claws or teeth, she had no mermaid tail nor pointy
ears and she could walk perfectly.

She was a normal human being with white patches

on her skin, she walked naked not having a problem
or maybe she did not see nor notice that she was
naked. She did not have a problem as she walked
naked, she made her way to the city.
She looked around staring at the huge tall building
she has never seen in her entire life, the sun
burning her eyes and making her feel a little bit
dizzy.

The stares she got from the people who passed her
which left her questioning herself, why are they
staring like that?

Across the round she saw people gathered, cameras

flashing and she was curious as to why so many
people are gathered in one place. what could be so
eye catching, she crossed the road as curiosity crept
into her even more.

She almost caused an accident while crossing and

left a lot of people cursing at her but did she care?
nope she did not. She stood behind one journalist
staring at the man in front who was talking, it was
an opening ceremony for a new restaurant owned
by a well known business man and everyone was
silent accept the man.

"Thank you everyone for coming here and it's..."

before he could finish, the girl Sneezed and his

attention shifts to her. He does not like being
interrupted but when his eyes met with hers and
her staring back at him not backing down at all, he
froze just like that and so did she.

The camera turns to where the business man had

his attention and some ladies gasp, cameras started
fleshing all at once completely blinding the girl as
they took pictures of her.

"move!" a deep voice shouts, it was the business

man.
He reached the girl and he stood in front of her
more like covering her from the cameras which
were taking pictures, she was looked up at the
stranger confused.

"Locus get the car now." he shouts more like roared

as if he was angry or something, he took off her
blazer and covered her with it...She stares into his
eyes and then she felt dizzy, the cameras kept
blinding her and she colups but luckily the business
man caught her on time.

The car came and his security helped him stop the
reporters who kept clicking pictures. He carried her
in bridal style and placed her gently inside the car
and slammed the door.

He walked to the other side with his hands inside

his pocket, he rubbed the tip of his nose and clicked
his tongue...you could not miss the frustrated look
on his face as he took one short yet warning looking
at the journalists, he opened the door.

He got inside the car and looked at the driver.

"drive the fucking car."

Locus drove the car and he did not want to ask any
questions because he could see that his boss was
angry.

The first reason his angry is that he got destrubed

during his interviews and despite seeing the state of
the girl they still had the audacity to take pictures of
her.

He drove to the bosses place and he parked the car

right outside the door step, the boss got out of the
car and he carried the woman inside the house and
he took her to the guest room upstairs.
He covered her with a blanket and he just stared at
her pale face, he asked himself a dozen of questions
like...what was she doing in the middle of the road
naked? was she raped or kidnapped? was she
running away from somewhere? but she doesn't
look hurt, he continued to think.

He was disturbed by his phone ringing, it was his

personal assistant Madison.

Madison: Sir where are you? I have journalist

nagging me with thousand questions I'm unable to
answer, why did you leave during your interview?
do you know how much favours I had to call in for
those people to come here and you decided to
leave with that naked girl...

She shouts with her voice filled with anger.

Nqoba: I do realise that I left an important interview
with a naked girl I don't know but...

he clenched his jaw.

Nqoba: firstly before this convisation escalates to

another level I would like to fix a simple error...

Madison: what error sir?

Nqoba: I'm not a crack head Madison which is why I

don't ever expect you to shout at me in that
manner ever again, I'm a grown ass man and I am
your boss remember that

Madison: I'm sorry boss I didn't mean to...

Nqoba: save it I don't want to hear any of it, wrap

up the whole thing and take the team back to the
office also cancel all my meetings and you can have
the rest of the day off

he hung up.

He called the family doctor and he arrived after a

few minutes, He did a check up on the girl and there
was nothing wrong with her.

Nqoba: did you check her properly? her body is cold

Themba: it says here her temperature is normal

Nqoba: but she's freezing

Themba: I do not know what you want me to say

Nqoba sighs.
Themba: just give me a call if anything come up but
for now you can relax, she will be just fine

Nqoba: if you say so

The doctor left and Nqoba went to take a quick

shower before changing into his indoor clothes, he
picks up his phone from the bed and he had a lot of
notifications flooding in, he also had dozen missed
calls from his father.

he decided to not call [Link] because he knows

that he will scold him for leaving his interview just
like that, it's even trending on social media and
Nqoba just clicked his tongue as he scrolled on
social media and images of the naked girl are all
over the place.
He switched off his phone and he decided to watch
some television, it got late and Nqoba made himself
something to eat and he thought the girl upstairs
would have woken up by now but no she hasn't.

He sat there watching television till it got late and

weather outside was getting really bad, it was
raining cat and dogs. Nqoba was on his way to his
room when he heard whimpers coming from the
guest room, he turned on his steps and went to the
guest room.

[LIGHTNING SOUND AND LOUD WIND BLOWING]

The girl was busy tossing and turning while she kept
mumbling things as if she was talking to someone,
he slowly walked to her and he slowly shook her but
she did not wake up. The weather outside got
pretty intense and the girl started shaking
uncontrollably, she shot her eyes open and she sat
up straight breathing heavily with sweat on her
forehead.

"They pushed me.... they pushed me...I need to go

back...I need go back..."

She spoke fast while breathing heavily with her eyes

searching around as if she's searching for a familair
face, her eyes met with Ngoba's.

Nqoba: you are safe, relax try to calm down what is

your name?

"My name is Anesu," she said with her lower lip

trembling and tears streaming down her cheeks.

Nqoba: okay Anesu, can you tell me what happened

to you?
Anesu: they pushed me...the-y

she cried even harder and words failed her.

welcome to Zesuliwe Anesu Mtshali's world hope

you are ready for the ride because it's going to be a
bumpy one.

DESTINED SOULS

CHAPTER 1

ANESU MTSHALI.

The following morning I woke up and I felt really

hungry, I struggled with my sleep last night after
that gentle man left. He did not even tell me his
name but I guess I scared him by acting weird, I got
off the bed and I scratched myself, the sound of my
bones cracking made me feel good. I noticed some
clothes on top of the small table.

I got dressed, I went to stand in front of the mirror

and I gasped when I saw how big I have grown. I
touched my face maybe thinking I was dreaming but
no, I have grown and the question is how did I grow
because I died when I drowned in the river after
those bullied pushed me inside. I don't remember
anything else after that and I'm sure there is a
better explanation for me being alive because we all
know I should have died that day but look at me
standing here breathing like an ordinary human
being.

Once I was fully dressed I left the room, I could hear

loud laughter coming downstairs. I made my way
down the stairs and when I arrived downstairs I
found a group of man chilling in the living room
watching a soccer match with beers in their hands,
it's a man cave in here and once they saw me they
stopped laughing.

Did I do something?

my eyes search around the room for that guy but he

was nowhere in the living rooms, I quickly turned on
my tracks and I bumped into something very hard
but feels alive, I raised my head and it was that very
same guy who helped me.

Anesu: I'm sorry...

"don't apologise you did nothing wrong, I thought

you were not going to wake up."
I shift away from him uncomfortably as I could feel
eyes on the both of us, I tuck my hair at the back of
my ear and I faced down.

"you seem uncomfortable did they do something to

you," I shook my head

Anesu: I'm sorry sir but what is your name?

"I'm Nqobuthando but my friends call me Nqoba."

"you spent a night with a girl and you did not even
introduce yourself, that is unlike you because I
know you always make yourself know," one of the
guys said standing up

"I'm Zinathi but you can call me Nathi," he brought

his hand foward for a hand shake and I just stared
at his hand then back at Nqoba.
Nqoba: this is my little brother

Nathi: who you calling little? don't listen to this

asshole okay beautiful?

he smiles looking at me and I just giggled, i stopped

and looked at the two guys who were seated
focused on the television.

Nqoba: those are my other brothers, that grumpy

looking one is Fisokuhle and the other one is
Vezokuhle

They stood up and I'm not going to lie, I have never

seen people who look exactly the same. How are
they able to tell them apart?

Anesu: are you twins?

Fiso: yes

Vezo: yes

They respond at the same time and they look at

each other, Nathi burst into laughter and Vezo
gladly showed him his middle finger with a bored
look on his face.

Fiso: and you are?

Anesu: I'm Zesuliwe Anesu Mtshali but I prefer

being called Anesu

Nathi: that's a lovely name

Nqoba: are you hungry?

My stomach grumbles and he laughs.

Nqoba: you are in luck because I made breakfast

Nathi: I'm no longer leaving

He quickly left us in the living room and went to the

kitchen.

Nqoba: Nathi I swear if you touch the food I will

bury you alive

he shouts.

Nathi: I love you too, thank you

he shouts back and I couldn't hold myself any
longer, I laughed as we made our way to the
kitchen. Nathi was already seated on the dinning
table, his plate piled up with lots of food while he
ate.

Nqoba just clicked his tongue and Nathi winked at

him.

Vezo: don't pay attention to these two but you will

get used to them

he whispers and he went to sit down, I joined

everyone else and I sat next to Fisokuhle. I started
eating and it's like I haven't eaten for years which is
actually true, I could eat everything on this table, I
kept eating till I felt eyes on me, I stopped and
looked up. Everyone has their eyes on me, even
Nathi was shocked of the way I was eating, I
swallowed.
Anesu: I'm so sorry, I'm really...

Nqoba: it's okay

he assured me and I continued eating, once I was

done I drank my juice and they ate in silence.

"baby are you home? baby," a woman voice shouts.

Nqoba: in the kitchen

"ohh there you are," a beautiful light skinned

woman appeared with a smile on her face, Nqoba
opens his arms and the woman gave Nqoba a hug
then perks her on the lips.
Nqoba: what are you doing here? I thought you
were going to arrive next week

"I missed you plus I had to come see you after I saw
the news..." she paused and she looks at me.

"you must be the girl that's trending all over social

media, I'm Nkanyezi Nqoba's fiancee," she said
before parking Nqoba one last time on the lips

Anesu: what do you mean I'm trending?

Nathi: she's just joking, I'm sure she didn't mean

any of...

Anesu: Nathi at the moment I'm talking to Nkanyezi

so I think it's better that you stay out of this

Nathi: okay...
he sat back and folds his arms.

Nkanyezi: did you not see the news?

Anesu: what's there to see?

Nqoba: Baby I think that is enough

Nkanyezi: but baby she...

Nqoba: NKANYEZI I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH ARE YOU

DEAF

He shouts causing Nkanyezi to jump a little in shock,

she steps away from Nqoba.

Nkanyezi: baby why are you talking to me like that?

Anesu: Nqoba what is she talking about?

silence.

Anesu: Somebody has to start talking because the

silence is killing me...

my cheeks started burning and I swear I'm about to

cry.

Anesu: Nqoba...

Nathi: Nqoba just tell her

Nqoba closed his eyes and he sighs.

Nqoba: there are pictures of you naked circulating
on social media but there is nothing to worry about
because I will sort everything out

Anesu: they took pictures of me?

Fiso: but don't worry about it because we will take

care of everything

Anesu: take care of everything how? they have my

pictures naked Fiso are you even hearing anything
you are saying?

Vezo: Just relax and breath...

Anesu: c...c...can you show me

my bottom lip is literally trembling and I don't think
I even have the strength to view whatever that they
are about to show me.

Nqoba: we can't do that...

Anesu: Nqoba show me the pictures

Nqoba gave Nkanyezi a quick stare before he took

out his phone and handing me the phone so I can
read it, tears started streaming down my cheeks
and I cried out loud.

Nathi: Nkanyezi you see now? you should learn to

mind your own business sometimes, she wasn't
suppose to find out about this

he said and Nkanyezi shrugs.

Nkanyezi: I did not know that she wasn't suppose to
find out...

Fiso: just shut up

he adds and clicks his tongue.

I couldn't stay in the same room with these people,

how could they hide something this huge from me?
this could ruin my futher and they are busy telling
me to calm down.

Anesu: I can't do this...

I stood up and I ran upstairs to the room I was

staying in, I just sank down the floor and I started
crying my lungs out.

...
I sat there till my eyes ran out of tears to cry out, I
lift my head up when the door slowly opened.

Nqoba: is it safe to come in?

Anesu: go away

Nqoba: I can't do that and you know it

Anesu: okay then...i will leave

I got up from the floor in attempt of going to the

bathroom but he grabs me by the arms and pulls
me closer to his body, I fought my way out of his
grib and he just looks into my eyes.
Nqoba: I hid it from you because I knew it would
break you

Anesu: okay can I have some space

Nqoba: Anesu just...

Anesu: I really don't understand how you could hide

such a thing from me

Silence.

Nqoba: I will sort it out

Anesu: I don't care Nqoba...can you leave me

alone?

Nqoba: Anesu I want to help you...

Anesu: help me with what? do I look like I need any
help

Nqoba: we haven't sat down and talked about how

you got here

Anesu: I don't want to talk about it

Nqoba: how am I suppose to help you if...

Anesu: I don't need your help just get out

He looks at me for a second.

Nqoba: cool
He walks out the the room and I closed the door
behind him, how could my life fall apart like this? I
was never treated right in my childhood and now
the very same thing is happening.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 2
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

Nqoba left Anesu rooms with his jaw clenching and

his hands inside his pocket, he arrived downstairs
and Nkanyezi was still standing in the middle of the
kitchen with the brothers not even paying attention
to her.

When Nkanyezi saw Nqoba she quickly went to him

and he stopped her with by raising his hand.
Nkanyezi: baby...

Nqoba: right now I don't want to talk to you

Nkanyezi out of all the people in this room you
should know how it feels to be embarrassed like
that

Nkanyezi: baby I did not know and also it's not my

fault that she was naked

Nqoba: are you even hearing yourself? uyawezwa

lamanyala owakhafula ngalowo mlomo (are you
even hearing the shut you are saying with that
mouth)

Saying he was angry was an understatement, Nqoba

hates people who make others feel small. He also
hates people who only think of their feels and not
of others, he might be heartless at times but he is a
very kind soil and a lover boy when he has to be
one.

Nkanyezi: okay baby I'm sorry...

She got closer to him and she wraps her arms

around his neck, Nathi along with the other
brothers just laughed because they know they
brother like the palm of their hand.

Nkanyezi: what do you want me to do to show you

how sorry I am

she looks into his eyes and he just blankly looks at

her, he doesn't even have his hands around her
waist.
Nqoba: you can take whatever you came here with
and get out of my house

Nkanyezi's jaw dropped and she steps away from

him.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba ngiyaxolisa njena (Nqoba I'm

sorry)

Nqoba: Nkanyezi right now you are being a

nuisance and you are disturbing me with my
brothers, we have a lot to talk about and I can't
keep entertaining your ridiculousness

he bluntly says.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba you are being unfair right now and

embarrassing me in front of your brothers, firstly
you talk to me as if I'm not the woman you got on
your knees for and asked for her hand in marriege

Nqoba: don't make me go there Nkanyezi trust me I

love you but right now you are just being to much
and I don't like that

Nkanyezi: but I apologised

Nqoba: and I simply asked you to leave, this is why I

brought you a house so I don't have you hovering all
over my face

Nkanyezi gasped and she sighs.

Nkanyezi: I will leave Nqoba if that is really what

you want
Nqoba: at least you get me

He clenched his jaw and went to join his brothers,

he watched Nkanyezi walk out and he just sighs
realising deep down that he was a little bit harsh
but the bad boy inside him told him she had it
coming.

Vezo: that was hectic

Nqoba: are y'alls girlfriends like this or it's only mine

that is this crazy

Nathi: it's a good thing I don't have any

They laughed and Nqoba looked at them because

he was being serious.
Fiso: though that is your fiance not your girlfriend
and you will know how father will get when he
heard about the fight between you two

Nqoba: sometimes I feel like she is his wife the way

he is always all over my business

Nathi: he just wants to have a strong unbreakable

relationship with the Ngubane's

Nqoba: he shouldn't involve me in his shit

he gulps down his beer.

Nathi: how is Anesu coping with all this?

Nqoba: I'm just going to give her some space

Nathi: that is good it looks like she really needs it

Nqoba nods agreeing with him.

Nqoba: but honestly though something is a little bit

off with her

Fiso: what do you mean something is off with her?

Nqoba: I don't know man I just have this feeling

when I'm around her

Vezo: eyyy kahle ke manje (stop)

Nqoba: can you get me information abiut her and

maybe we can help her, Fiso?

Fiso: I will get on it

Nqoba: and Vezo I need you to get whoever took
those picture to take them down this instant

Vezo: you know that won't be possible

Nqoba: make it possible then if you have to sue

some MOTHERFUCKERS them go ahead and sue
them, taking such pictures of someone is more like
violating their rights

Nathi: true!

he agrees with him nodding his head.

Nqoba: Nathi I want you to get everything sorted

about the job we are doing this weekend, I don't
want any problems okay?
Nathi: relax themba mina wena (trust me with
everything)

Fiso: so what will you do about father?

Nqoba: I will avoid him

Vezo: good luck with that

He got up and left, Nathi followed him and when

Fiso was about to leave Nqoba stopped him.

Nqoba: bro I need a favour from you

Fiso: okay wassup?

Nqoba: you know how your girlfriend is a smooth

talker and has a kind heart...
Fiso: yes I know my girl is a lover to much now what
do you want from her?

Nqoba: can you ask her to help out with Anesu

Fiso: ohh I will give her a call and I will call you to
update you about her response

Nqoba: sure thanks

Fiso: you are really doing this?

Nqoba: what do you mean? what are you trying to

say about me exactly?

Fiso: you are not the type to help people you don't
even know
Nqoba: now you are making it sound like I'm a
monster

Fiso: you are a monster Nqoba and you know I'm

not a lair

His right, he doesn't lie.

Nqoba: get out of my house

he pushed him by the shoulder playfully and Fiso

left, Nqoba went upstairs to his room and he took a
quick shower before getting dressed into his work
suit which was black in colour and he applied his
intoxicating cologne.
His phone rang on the night stand and he stared at
it with the call ID written 'baba'...He stared till the
phone stopped ringing.

Nqoba: I'm never going to get piece from this old

guy.

He gathered his work files which were only three

putting them inside his brief case, he walks out the
room while he texted his personal assistant
Madison to get everything ready for him at the
office.

Nqobuthando is the first born son of Lungani and

Ntongolozi Dube, he was born in a royal marriage
meaning blue blood runs through his viens.
Nqobuthando did not have a normal childhood like
every other child, at the age of ten his father
started to train him on how to act as royalty, he
couldn't go out with other kids, he had a huge
number of security gaurds watching over him even
when he had to go to school. At the age of Sixteen
his father chose the subjects he had to do in his
tenth grade, he was under a lot of pressure
compared to his other brothers.

His father wanted him to pass all his subjects with

level sevens and if he got below the actual mark his
father would punish him. At the age of 18 he was
then introduced to the family business, his father
made him work along side him teaching him the
ways of business and how to run the family
business.

In other words Nqoba's life was molded like a piece

of clay, Nqoba had no freedom. Nqoba grew up
being hardheaded and having things done his way
or else they wouldn't be done at all, Nqoba has a lot
of complications.
He knocks on the guest room Anesu is staying in
and she answers, He got inside and she sat up
straight.

Nqoba: I have to go to work, my brothers girlfriend

will come over and she will show you around and
maybe buy you a few things

Anesu: You don't have to do anything for me Nqoba

I promise you I will be out of your house by
tomorrow and I won't be your problem to take care
of

Nqoba: why are you calling yourself a problem all of

assuden? did I say you were a problem?

Anesu: I...I...

Nqoba: so stop talking nonsense

Anesu: Nqoba I don't know how I will pay you back,
I'm a mess I don't even know how I got here...I can't
remember my way back home and...

She talking fast and Nqoba interrupts her.

Nqoba: did you ever hear me say I need you to pay

me back?

Anesu: Nqoba why are you doing all these?

Nqoba: I want to help you and I know you never

asked for my help but I will help you anyways

Tears fill Anesu's eyes.

Anesu: you don't even know me yet...

Nqoba: save the emotional stuff, I will see you later

Anesu got up from the bed and she quick ran to

Nqoba, she gave him a tight hug around his waist
and he frowned.

Nqoba: okay that's enough for the day

he gently pushed her off and she frowns.

Nqoba: ohh before I forget...

he took out his black card and he gave it to her.

Anesu: what's this?

Nqoba: a black card

Anesu: what is it for?

Nqoba chuckles.

Nqoba: you don't know a black card?

Anesu shook her head.

Nqoba: Ntethe will explain it to you

Anesu: okay

she shrugs.

Nqoba: enjoy
He walks out and when he arrived downstairs his
door bell rang, he went to the door and found
Ntethe standing there.

Ntethe: Nqoba hey I heard you need my help

Nqoba: I'm sure Fiso explained everything to you

Ntethe: yes he did but what do you want me to do?

Nqoba: whatever you girls do when you are given a

black card

Ntethe: a black what?

she gasped.
Nqoba: you heard me, I'm running late for a
meeting

Ntethe: relax I will take care of her

Nqoba: you better

He walks out and Ntethe walked in, when she made

her way inside her jaw dropped when she saw
Anesu walking down the stairs.

Ntethe: wow...

she mumbles.

CHAPTER 3
ANESU MTSHALI.

She stood there staring at me and I could help but

look at myself as if there was something wrong with
me, she finely stops and she approached me. She
stood in front of me with a wide smile on her face.

Ntethe: hey my name is Ntethelelo and you must be

Anesu

Anesu: yes I am

Ntethe: I'm sorry but you are really beautiful oh my

god girl

I looked down blushing and giggled.

Anesu: thank you

Ntethe: I'm sure you are already ready, did you

shower right?

I shook my head, what is she talking about? what is

a shower?

Anesu: what's a shower?

Ntethe: a shower is another form of bathing were

water falls from uhm...the top like rain

she laughed a little at the way she said it.

Anesu: I have been wanting to bath but I'm scared

that I might touch the wrong things
Ntethe: don't be silly come

She wraps her arms around mind and she took my

upstairs, I showed her the room I was using and she
showed me how this 'shower' thingy works. I took a
shower and good God that was a good experience, I
wanted to stay in there for a long time but I
couldn't.

I got out and I cried my body with the towel which

was present, I wrap it around my body and I left the
room.

Ntethe: okay I searched around the house for

something you will use to lotion your body and I
found these

Anesu: thank you

I started lotioning my body and I wore the very
same clothes Nqoba gave me, I went downstairs
were Ntethe was waiting for me and she was seated
on the Chair busy on her phone.

Ntethe: cleaned up nice

Anesu: huh?

Ntethe: I mean you look pretty

This girl has been showering me with complements

ever since she arrived and I'm starting to think that
maybe she is playing games with me. I then
remembered...

Anesu: Ntethe sorry but what is a black card?

Ntethe laughed and I frowned, this makes me feel
dumb and I don't like the feeling at all. It's not my
fault that I was stuck wherever I was and I don't
know anything about this new world.

She stopped laughing and she looked at me

seriously realising that I was not joking.

Ntethe: oh you are serious?

Anesu: yes Ntethe

Ntethe: okay so a black card is more like a credit

card, it's contains a huge amount of money and for
a person like Nqoba who has millions of cash he has
a black card

Anesu: so what are we going to do with it?

Ntethe: anything you want but first let's do your
hair

Anesu: what's wrong with my hair?

Ntethe: nothing is wrong with your hair trust me it's

natural and beautiful but you need to do something
with it

Anesu: ohh

Ntethe: let's go, the car is waiting for us outside

I walked out with her while touching my hair, what

could possibly be the problem with my hair that I
when to do something with it?

We got inside the car and it drove us to what she

called a 'mall'
Ntethe: so tell me more about yourself

Anesu: what more?

Ntethe: more like who you are and where you are
from

Anesu: you already know my name and as much as

thinks embarrassing to say, I don't remember where
I'm from but I keep getting these flash backs but I'm
sure I will remember my way back home and I will
go back to my life

I smiled and she returned a smile.

Ntethe: so you don't remember anything at all?

I nod.

Ntethe: I'm sorry for that, I don't know what i would

do if I lost my memory

I just smiled and stared outside as the car drove off,

we finally arrived at the so called mall and it was
huge. We got out of the car and the minute we
walked inside we had thousand eyes staring at us.

I wanted to leave the place immiedielty but Ntethe

told me not to mind them and I did just that. She
took me to the salon and that's were I got my hair
treated as if it had a disease, lol.

The woman there so my hair into corn rows and

they looked really good on me, we paid up and then
we went shopping that is what Ntethe called it and I
call it picking clothes of your chose, am I being
stupid? even if I am being stupid I don't care.
We bought a lot of cloths and Ntethe assured me
that Nqoba won't have a problem since he was the
one who insisted we do this. Ntethe is a very bubbly
soul, with that little time spent with her all I can say
is she really enjoys laughing.

Ntethe: okay I think this is enough, do you want

anything else?

Anesu: yeah this is enough, I'm even starving from

all the in outs we have been doing

Ntethe: that is how shopping feels like

Anesu: then I'm never doing it again

Ntethe: trust me you will find yourself doing it,

shopping is contagious
I just laughed.

Ntethe: ohh before I forget Nqoba said we should

buy you a phone

Anesu: a phone? no no no what am I going to do

with a phone? he has done so much for me and
that's enough I don't need a phone

Ntethe: are you sure Anesu?

Anesu: I cannot be spending his hard earned money

like this, let's just buy something to eat and go back
to his place

Ntethe: you really don't know Nqoba now do you?

Anesu: what do you mean?

Ntethe: nevermind

I didn't bother to ask to tell her that I do mind but

whatever, we brought a burger at McDonald's and I
swear these have become my favourite.

As we sat down a group of girls and boys

approached us.

"hey I'm sorry for disturbing you but I think I have

seen you somewhere," the girl points at me and I
raised my eyes brow confused.

Ntethe: you have seen her nowhere, excuse us

plesse we are busy here
"no no no I have seen her..." she took out her
phone and she showed a picture of me naked, my
lower lip starts trembling and I stopped eating.

Ntethe: I told you to leave, what the hell is your

problem? in fact we will leave

She stood up grabbing our things and she took my

hand, I don't know why I am frozen like this. I can't
even utter a single word out of my mouth, we left
the mall and we drove back to Nqoba's place.

Ntethe: are you okay?

I nod and looked away blinking away my tears, I

wipe them using my hand and I stared outside the
windows as grey clouds started forming outside. It
didn't take even a minute and it started to rain, I
don't k ow why it's even raining because the
weather was fine when we were at the mall.
I got inside the house and Ntethe followed behind.

Ntethe: Anesu are you sure you are fine?

Anesu: yes I'm fine Ntethe, I just need some time to

think

Ntethe: if it's about what she showed you then

don't let it get to you, the internet does not know
you but you know who you are so don't let them
make you feel small

Anesu: it's funny how you say I know who I am

whereas I can't remember even the face of my
mother, everything is just blank and it hurts...

I blinked away the tears and Ntethe stood far from

me.
Anesu: thank you for spending the day with me
Ntethe but I will take it from here

Ntethe: are you sure you are okay?

Anesu: NTETHE CAN YOU PLEASE JUST...

I shouted and stopped knowing that I'm going to

say something I will later regret, Ntethe has been
nothing but nice to me so I can't treat her horribly
just because I feel horribly.

I sighed and I went to her, I gave her a tight hug and

assured her that I'm fine. She left and I went
upstairs to the room i was given, I sat down
opposite the window staring at the rain droplets
which dripped on the window and the lighting that
struck far away from here.
I closed my eyes and I had that very same flashback
which keeps me up at night everytime I try to fall a
sleep. I can't stop seeing their faces and it's a pitty
that the only faces I remember are of the people
that almost killed me.
.

NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

I was seated in my office and I was finishing up with

some work which I have been busy with for some
hours, I noticed that the weather was getting really
bad and I thought of going home. My phone flashed
ringing with my father calling once again, I don't
want to talk to that man right now.
I got off my seat and I took my jacket, I grabbed my
phone and car keys. I locked my office before
leaving and I asked Madison to text me the notes
she took down from the meetings that took place
today.

I walked inside the elevator heading down and my

phone rang, it was Fiso and I answered.

Nqoba: Fiso? wassup?

Fiso: Ntethe just got back and...

Nqoba: and what?

Fiso: she says they bumped into a group of people

who claimed they recognise Anesu and showed her
the picture of her naked
Nqoba: God!

I can't deal with this right now, I thought Vezo dealt

with this and I know the pictures were saved but
who could save such pictures...argh!

Fiso: I think you should drive back to your place

man

Nqoba: I was heading there anyways tell Ntethe to

give you Anesu's number so I can call her

Fiso: she denied the phone

why did she have to do that? argh! fuck

Nqoba: I have to go...

I hung up and the elevator opens, I stepped out and
I walked out of the building. I unlocked my car and
got inside, I drove to my place and the drive was
quite short.

I parked my car outside and I went inside the house,

I placed my car keys on top of the kitchen counter.

Nqoba: Anesu!

Silence.

The house is to silent for my likings if she was not in

this house I would have taken my gun out but I
don't want to scare her off.

Nqoba: Anesu...
I said opening her room door and she is not there, I
took out my gun which was tucked behind the back
on my pants. I made my way downstairs and I
noticed the sliding door was open, I went to that
direction on my to find Anesu seated on the grass in
the middle of the yard while the rain poured on her.

Nqoba: Anesu!

I shout but she does not turn.

Nqoba: Anesu!

I placed my gun back where it was and I cursed, i

made my way to her and I shook her. She jumped
upon feeling my touch and she looks at me.

Anesu: you are back

Nqoba: yes I'm back but what are you doing
outside?

Anesu: I wanted to be one with the rain

Nqoba: what?

I looked at her confused.

Anesu: I'm sorry but I found myself walking out of

the house, I don't know what happened

Nqoba: let's get you inside shall we

she nods and she stood up taking my hand, we

walked back inside the house and I closed the
sliding door, locking it and I looked at her shaking
out of cold.
Nqoba: how long have you been out there?

She shrugs, Anesu is gonna be the death of me.

Doesn't she know that she can catch a cold from
doing all that?

Nqoba: you need go take a hot bath to drive out the

cold

Anesu: I will be fine relax

She made her way upstairs, I noticed the new

hairstyle which she had to ruin by going outside
while it rained. I went upstairs to take a quick warm
shower, I changed into warm clothes and I went to
check on Anesu who was sleeping.
I noticed the shopping bags which were lined up in
her room and I shook my head, I kept receiving
notifications from every clothing shop at the mall
and you'd swear they wanted to suck me dry.

I went downstairs and as I was about to make

something to eat the door bell rang, who could it be
so late at night? I went to answer the door and
Nkanyezi stood there wearing a coat...okay!

Nqoba: Nkanyezi

Nkanyezi: can I come in?

I move aside and she walks in.

Nqoba: and then what are you doing here?

Nkanyezi: I came to apologise *sighs* I went out of
line this morning and I'm truly sorry baby, I don't
like it when we are angry at each other and I miss
you, I miss us

She looks me in the eyes with those lazy eyes of

hers.

Nqoba: okay

Nkanyezi: Nqoba I'm sorry okay?

Nqoba: how sorry are you?

She pulled the belt of her coat loose and the coat
magically dropped on the floor, it didn't drop
magically though I'm just exaggerating but damn
what was beneath that coat made my dick hard.
Nkanyezi: I am very very...

She slowly walked to me swaying her ass and wraps

her arms around my neck, she stared deep into my
eyes bring out the sex animal inside me.

Nkanyezi: sorry...you want punish me? you can do

whatever you want with me...

she whispers to my ear.

Nkanyezi: I'm all yours

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 04
NARRATIVE.
The following morning Nqoba woke up darling in
the morning and he slowly pushed Nkanyezi off his
chest, She must be tired because Nqoba kept her up
all night while fucking her. Nqoba went to the
bathroom and he took a shower, he turned on the
shower and he just stood there for a moment
before bathing his body.

He steps out with the water dripping on his not dark

but caramel skin, there was no sign of any ink on his
skin and he stood in front of the mirror admiring his
body.

He wipes his body and he wraps a towel on his

lower part of the body, he went to the room and
Nkanyezi was still fast asleep. He lotioned his body
and since he will be working from home he wore his
in door clothes, he wore a his black sweat pants and
a white vest.
Nqoba is not a gym freak but he does have
muscles, he is not buff but he is in between, he has
a four packs and very visible V-line. He has clean
and beautiful hands, a clean fresh hair cut and no
beard at all, he has bushy eye brows and brown
eyes, medium sized pink lips and a beautiful white
Colgate smile.

He made his way downstairs and he made himself

some black coffee, while he waits for the coffee
machine to finish up making the coffee he started
making breakfast.

Few minutes passed and Anesu made her way

downstairs, she was wearing the same baggy t-shirt
Nqoba gave her and it looked good on her,
revealing her thighs.
She smiled when she walked into the kitchen and
found Nqoba making breakfast.

Anesu: good morning

Nqoba: morning, you are up early

Anesu: well I lost my sleep and what was happening

last night I heard a lot of noise coming from your
room

she said seating up on the kitchen high chair and

placed her hand on her chin with her elbow on the
counter staring at Nqoba waiting for an explanation
because she couldn't sleep last night because of the
noise.

Nqoba: about that I'm really sorry, we will try to

keep it down next time
Anesu: keep down what?

she raised her eyebrow still confused and Nqoba

just chuckles.

Nqoba: can we change the topic and tell about

something else besides that

Anesu smiled.

Anesu: okay sure, so where did you learn how to

cook?

Nqoba: I learnt from my mother, I used to help her

out everytime she cooked till I took a hang of it

Anesu: that sounds nice

Nqoba: yeah it is

Anesu: I also want to thank you for what you for me

yesterday, you don't even know yet you are doing
so much for me and I don't know what I will ever do
to repay you Nqoba

Nqoba: you don't need to worry about that though

you need to get a cellphone

Anesu: I don't need that, what will I do with that?

who will I call?

Nqoba: you will call me whenever you need my help

or if there is an emergency

Anesu: Nqoba you are already doing a lot for me a

phone is to much and unessesary
Nqoba's phone rang and it was Fiso, he took a look
at the Omelette he was busy making and back at
Anesu.

Nqoba: can you help me out with these while I take

this call?

Anesu: no no that a bad idea I don't know how to...

Nqoba: it's not hard you just going to wait for it to

be cooked underneath then you flip it, come

Anesu did not want to disappoint Nqoba so she got

up and she guarded the egg while he went to
answer the call far away from the kitchen.

he spoke.
Nqoba: Fisokuhle?

Fiso: yow don't call me by my full name

Nqoba: it's your name stop being crazy, wassup?

Fiso: I was calling to ask if you remember about the

braai we are having this afternoon?

Nqoba: ohh I forgot

Fiso: Nqoba how can you forget? my woman

planned all this plus we can use it so we can discuss
the mission we are going to do

Nqoba: we can just go to the warehouse and talk

about all this
Fiso: don't be a bore

Nqoba: okay fine I will be there

Fiso: bring Anesu along Ntethe would love that

Nqoba: you really love this girlfriend of yours

he chuckles.

Fiso: fuck off man, bye

he hung up and Nqoba just laughed a little shaking

his head, He went back to the kitchen and found
Anesu trying to flip the Omelette. He could see that
she was struggling so he quickly placed his phone
on top of the counter and he stood behind her.
Nqoba: slow down you going to break it

Anesu: sorry I just...

Nqoba: shhhh *whispers*

He took some cheese and he sprinkled it on top of

the egg, he held her hand which had the spatula
with his other hand on her [Link] guides her by
sliding the spatula under the Omelette and folding it
into half.

Nqoba: and then you press on it...

He spoke right next to her ear and she held her

breath as he felt his warm breath on her neck, she
turned and she looked at him as he spoke till he
could feel her eyes making him to look at her in the
eyes.
Anesu's heart skips a beat as she did not know
whether to look at him or stop, She found her eyes
luring her to look at his lips and for some reason she
felt her body heating up and they stood like that.

Nkanyezi appeared entering the kitchen and she

saw the two frozen while staring into each other's
eyes, she folds her arms and she clears her throat.

Nkanyezi: ngiyalingwa (I'm being tested) Nqoba

what is happening here?

Anesu jumped and she moved away from Nqoba

standing next to the fridge and swallowing
nothingness.

Nqoba took out the Omelette and placed it on top

of the plate before sprinkling more cheese on top,
he wipes his hand and he went to Nkanyezi planting
a kiss on her lips.

Nqoba: it's nothing, good morning sthandwa sami

he steps back and Nkanyezi just looks at him not

convinced that it was nothing like he states.

Nkanyezi: do not try to warm my heart with your

words Nqoba you had your hand on her waist
looking into her eyes as if you were cutting your
stupid wedding cake, what the fuck do you take me
for?

she shouts and Nqoba just clicks his tongue, he

went back to making the breakfast and he starts
dishing out two plates.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba I'm talking to you

Nqoba: you are talking to me? in that tone? woman
don't ruin my mood so early in the morning

Nkanyezi: so this is how our relationship will be

because of this girl you don't even know

Nqoba: you are the one whose ruining our

relationship with your drama, I told you nothing
was happening so why the hell are you shouting at
me as if I'm mad in the head? ngyaphila mina
ekhanda Nkanyezi so there is no need for you to
address me in the tone you just addressed me in

he said gnashing his teeth and pointing his finger at

her.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba so you don't see anything wrong

you did?
Nqoba: I was helping her flip the Omelette what
wrong did I do there?

Nkanyezi: with your hand on her waist and staring

into her eyes? I'm not stupid Nqoba

Nqoba: you are stupid because you are not even

hearing the nonsense that's coming out of your
mouth, do you know how stupid you souns

Nkanyezi gasped.

Nkanyezi: what is she still doing here anyways?

Anesu: I'm sorry...

that came out as a whisper as she tried to calm the
both of them, she thought she was the reason for
their argument.

Nqoba: don't bother apologising you did nothing

wrong, in fact Nkanyezi get out ungibangela
ukushisa okungekho( you are causing unessesary
heat)

Nkanyezi blinks away her tears and Nqoba sighed,

Nkanyezi starts crying and Nqoba hands Anesu her
plate of food.

Anesu: thank you

Nqoba took his and he went upstairs passing

Nkanyezi who was busy crying, once Nqoba was out
of the kitchen Nkanyezi gave Anesu a dead stare
and wipes her tears.
Nkanyezi: are you happy upon seeing this? is this
what you wanted all along to ruin my relationship
with the love of my life

Anesu: Nkanyezi I don't know what I did but I'm

sorry

Nkanyezi laughs a little and clicks her tongue.

Nkanyezi: you discuss me and if you think ruining

my relationship and feeding Nqoba with whatever
that you are feeding him with will stop him from
marrying me you are wrong

Anesu just stood there lost taking in Nkanyezi's

anger as she spoke, she was still lost as to what she
did wrong and her tears are at the edge of coming
out as she stood there.
Nkanyezi: you should go back to where ever you
cane from

she clicks her tongue and looks at the plate on top

of the counter, she left Anesu standing there and
She went upstairs, few minutes later she walked out
wearing her coat.

Anesu just stared at the food and she had lost her
appetite despite the fact that Nqoba made it out of
love now she won't be able to stomach it hurts her.

She placed the plate inside the fridge and she

decided to watch televison, she sat there watching
cartoons and Nqoba came downstairs with his
plate.
Nqoba: Ntethe will be hosting a braai and she asked
me to invite you

Anesu: I'm not going

Nqoba: why don't you want to go

he opened the fridge and saw the plate, he frowns

closing the fridge.

Nqoba: why didn't you eat your food?

Anesu: I lost my appetite

Nqoba: did you eat anything last night?

Anesu: no I did not

Nqoba: so it's not possible that you are not hungry
Anesu, what is bothering you?

He walks to the living room and he sat next to her,

he doesn't know why he cares so much about her
but he just can't bare to see her in any sort of pain.
Caring for a stranger this much is something that
has never happened in his life.

Anesu: nothing is bothering me I just lost my

appetite and your girlfriend doesn't like me

Nqoba chuckles.

Nqoba: she doesn't like any female that is fond of

me

Anesu: who said I was done fond you?

she smiled.

Nqoba: actions speak louder Anesu

Anesu: my actions say nothing I bet

Nqoba: so what did she say?

Anesu: I don't want to talk about

Nqoba: but what I will tell you is that don't mind

whatever she says okay?

Anesu nods.

Nqoba: so you are going to the braai with me?

Anesu: sure I will go with you

She smiled.

Nqoba: now eat your food before I make you eat it

myself

Anesu: yes sir

she giggles and Nqoba stood up heading upstairs to

his study.

when she goes to sleep at night.

Mwandle has even accepted and understood the

state of her mother, she also misses her beloved
sister and only if she could change what transpired
that day at the river they would be living happily.

Mwandle woke up early in the morning and she got

ready for work, she works as a cashier at a garage
nearby and it's a half hour drive from the village.
She made breakfast for her mother and herself, she
went to her mother's room and she served her
breakfast.

Mwandle: mama it's me Mwandle

Abuse: ohh Mwandle, how are you my darling?

Mwandle: I'm good mma I brought you some food

Abuse: you are getting ready for work?

Mwandle: yes and I won't leave till you eat your

Abuse takes depression pills and brain pills which

help her reduce stress, she is able to do most of the
work around the house but Mwandle instructs that
she doesn't since it's not good for her beacsue she
has grown old.

Abuse: you don't need to worry my child

Mwandle: mama you said the same thing last time

and you forgot to take the medication, do you
remember how sick you became? so I won't risk it

Abuse smiles and sighs, she starts eating her soft

porridge and once she was done Mwandle gave her
the medication which she drank.

Mwandle: mma I will be back to cook and do

everything else, please don't over work yourself
okay? I love you

She plants a kiss on Abuse forehead and before she

left Abuse held her hand.
Abuse: can you give me some money, we are
running short on veggies and bread

Mwandle: I can bring some when I return from work

Abuse: oh no I heard our neighbours veggies are

fresh and taste really good

Mwandle: mma what do you want with the money?

Abuse sighs.

Abuse: I want to go consult with a traditional healer

bringing back all the sad memories, Mwandle has
grieved since the day she lost her sister and she has
finally made pics with it but when her mother brings
everything up over again it's like rubbing salt into a
wound.

Abuse: Mwandle your sister is alive, I don't know

how many times I have to tell you this...

Mwandle: mma I'm not giving you any money just

stop with this okay? I understand that you are still
hurting but it's better that you move on from this, I

she stood up and she left her mother's room, Abuse

just frowned and she turned the radio which was
next to her to the next station till she found her
favourite radio station.

[BACK AT NQOBA'S HOUSE]

Nqoba was in his room getting ready for the braai

and Anesu was doing the same even though she
was feeling a little bit nervous about this whole
thing.

Nqoba got dressed and he wore a pair of demin

men shorts along with a black shirt with a matching
diamond chain around his neck, he wore a black
galaxboy bucket hat and a pair of men sandals.
He finished his outfit with a black wrist watch and
he walks out waiting for Anesu, he notified his
brother that they are on their way.

He sat down in the living room having a bottle of

still water and while busy on his phone, Anesu
finally decided to bless Nqoba with her presence.

She walks down the stairs wearing a white summer

short dress which had a back opening, she also
wore a pair of galaxboy sandals which she bought
when she was with Ntethe.

Nqoba just smiled getting off his seat.

Nqoba: you are ready?

Anesu nods and they walked out, Nqoba opens the

door for Anesu and she got inside.
Anesu: thank you

He jogs to his side and once he was in, he starts the

cat and drove to Fiso's beach house since they
decided to do the braai there.

Anesu: Nqoba how many siblings do you have?

Nqoba: only the ones that you know of

Anesu: so you don't have any sisters?

Nqoba: yeah I don't have sisters my mother only

gave birth to boys

Anesu: okay and where is your mother?

Nqoba: where is this convisation going?

Anesu: I'm just trying to get to know you better

Nqoba: my mother lives at the palace with my

father

Anesu: a palace?

Nqoba: yes a palace, Anesu you don't have to

answer me but I'm curious...

Anesu: I'm listening...

Nqoba: when you told me some people pushed you,

where exactly did they push you?

Anesu: I was pushed inside a river

Nqoba: who could do such?

Anesu: some children at the village who enjoyed

bullying me...oh my God!

she held her mouth and her eyes popped out as she
stared at the beach house which had a pool which
filled almost the whole yard, Fiso and Nathi outside
busy braaing meat and Ntethe no where to be seen.

Nqoba just smirks looking at Anesu's reaction, He

got out of the car and Anesu followed behind him.

Nqoba: I would have opened the door you know

Anesu: I'm sorry...

Nqoba: why do you apologise for everything you do
even though it's sometimes not wrong

Anesu: I don't know maybe I'm just used to it

she shrugs and Nathi called out their names.

Nathi: come this side, we have been waiting for you

two

They made their way to them.

Fiso: Anesu how are you? you are looking good

Nathi: no she is dead gorgeous

Anesu: dead people are not gorgeous

Nqoba chuckles.

Nqoba: it's a complement meaning that you are

beautiful

Anesu: aww thank you

Fiso: I like her

He smiles and hands Nqoba some beer.

Ntethe: girl you made it

she shouts coming out of the hour with more meat

inside the bowl, she placed the bowl down and she
went to squeeze Anesu into a tight hug.

Anesu: I can't breath!

she giggles and Ntethe pulls out.

Ntethe: sorry I'm just a little bit excited Nqoba

never brings anyone whom I really enjoy being
around

Anesu: but Nkanyezi, doesn't Nkanyezi come here?

Ntethe: that is what I was trying to say? I don't

enjoy my time around her beacsue she is...

she whistles and the gents laughed accept for

Nqoba.

Nqoba: she's still my fiancee and I love her

Nathi: but she's telling the truth, Nkanyezi is a
mood spolier

Ntethe: do you want to help me inside?

Anesu: I would love to help you, Nqoba can I?

Nqoba: you don't have to ask come on

Anesu smiled and she left with Ntethe.

Ntethe: do you know how to cook pap?

Anesu: I don't know how to cook, I drowned before

I got to learn how to

Ntethe laughs.
Ntethe: you are funny but don't worry because I will
teach you

Anesu: sounds fun as long as I won't burn myself

Ntethe: relax it's a small job

Anesu: let's get started then

Ntethe taught her how to make pap and they made

few more salads, Anesu was really enjoying her
time with Ntethe and enjoying the wine she kept on
drinking which made her feel really funny.

The gents walked in with the bowl filled with meat

which was ready to be eaten, everyone gathered
and they dish up for themself and the brothers
decided to have their food in the study upstairs.
Ntethe and Anesu sat by the pull side enjoying their
food, once they were done they went to gather the
plates from the gents and they cleaned up.

Ntethe: I feel like swimming

Anesu: I can't swim and I'm afraid of swimming

Ntethe: why? girl you have a lot to learn from me

Anesu: I don't know but when I'm around the water

I freak out and...

Ntethe: relax I will teach you how to swim and in a

split second you will be a pro

Anesu: but I did not bring anything to swim in

Ntethe: I got you girl, while I was at the mall I also
bought you a bikini

Anesu: I won't be showing a little skin right?

Ntethe: no not at all

They went upstairs and they got dressed, Anesu

wasn't feeling the whole thing and she just stood
there wanting to take the bikini off.

Anesu: I feel naked

Ntethe: it looks good on you and the red makes

your skin pop

she giggles.
Anesu: I don't know Ntethe all this is not me

Ntethe: come on just give it a try plus you have a

banging body and there's nothing to worry about
the guys are upstairs and once they are in the study
they never leave till it's late

Anesu: if you say so then

They took towel and they went downstairs, They

went outside to the pool and Ntethe jumped inside
the water and Anesu just stood there not feeling
sure about the whole thing.

Ntethe: come on, it's not that deep this side

Anesu sticks her toes inside and she shivers beacsue

the water was cold, Ntethe just laughed and Anesu
joined in.
Anesu: if I drown I will kill you

Ntethe: you would be dead by then

Anesu gave her a dead stare and as she slowly

attempts to get inside the water the door bell rang,
Ntethe had to get out of the water do she can
answer the door.

Ntethe: that must be Vezokuhle's girlfriend, he said

she was coming I will be back

she left Anesu standing there and She wanted to

get inside the water but she remembered the she
could not swim.

...
Ntethe rushed to the door and she opened it only to
find Nsike standing at the door along with Nkanyezi,
they were dressed in short tight dresses and Ntethe
frowned then smiled.

Ntethe: Nsike we have been waiting for you

Nsike: I'm sorry I took long, I had to tag in with my

girl and Nqoba has to explain like honestly why he
left her behind

Like girl! he left her behind because she can be very

dramatic and extra, Ntethe moved aside and they
got inside.

Ntethe: it's great that you came, Nkanyezi it's been

long how have you been?

Nkanyezi: good, where is Nqoba?

Ntethe: they are upstairs talking business I guess
but I'm sure they will be down soon

Nkanyezi: okay

she slowly said squatting her eyes a little looking at

Ntethe as if she does not believe her.

Nsike: while we wait for the guy let's have some

drink and catch up, I'm sure we have a lot to talk
about

Nkanyezi: yep I have a lot I need to take out of my

chest

she says grabbing a bottle wine from the kitchen

counter and heading outside to the pool, she was
following behind Ntethe and Nsike when the bottle
in her hand suddenly slipped from her hand when
she saw Anesu standing there having a glass of
wine.

Nkanyezi: what the heck?!

Anesu jumped a little from hearing the bottle drop

and shattering into pieces.

Nsika: Nkanyezi are you okay?

Nkanyezi: I was a few seconds ago but now I'm not

Nsika: why? what happened?

Nkanyezi: this is the bitch I was telling you about,

the bitch who is trying to steal Nqoba from me
Nsika: what? that is her?

Nkanyezi: in a flash and I bet she came here with

Nqoba

Ntethe: what's going on here? why are you calling

Anesu a bitch? where are your manners Nkanyezi?

Nkanyezi: no I just lost my manners why is this bitch

trying to take my life from me?

she shouts and Anesu is it froze like a statue, the

brothers came downstairs upon hearing the noise
which was coming outside.

They came outside.

Vezo: what's going on here? why do there so much

noise? baby *smiles*
Nathi: we could here you girls from upstairs...ohh
the devil brought his daughter

he mumbles the last words and he turns back going

inside the house not wanting to wickeness the
drama that's about to happen.

Nqoba: Nkanyezi what are you doing here?

Nkanyezi: I came here with Nsika thinking that

maybe you did not tell me about this gathering
since we had a fight this morning and I thought that
maybe I would come and apologise then I saw
her....

she paused.

Nkanyezi: you brought her over me Nqoba?

Nqoba: this is why I did not want to bring you here?
look at the drama you are causing

Nkanyezi: how can I not cause drama? you are

replacing me with that thing Nqoba...

she points at Anesu.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba you...

Nqoba: how old are you Nkanyezi?

Nkanyezi: what? *scoffs* what does my age have to

do with all of this?

Nqoba: answer the question

Nkanyezi: I'm 23...where is this going?

Nqoba: act like you are twenty three and stop

acting like a Goddamn five year old, come inside
and let's talk like adults

he held the bridge of his nose and clicked his

tongue, Nqoba is so pissed right now, no he is
beyond pissed.

He made his way to a private room downstairs and

Nkanyezi followed him.

Nkanyezi: what do you want to about all of assuden

Nqoba because I thought i was a nuisance to you?

Nqoba: firstly don't ever talk to me in that manner

ever again or else I forget the fact I got on my knees
and asked you to be my wife....I will beat the shit
out of you if you think I'm your goddamn friend

he clicked his tongue and that kinda sank into

Nkanyezi's heart.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba is this the love you promised me?

is this what we have turned into?

Nqoba: you are the one who makes things hard for
me by not trusting me at all

Nkanyezi: who said I do not trust you

Nqoba: if you had trusted me you wouldn't have

acted the way you did, from the begin Nkanyezi I
have spent the past few years showing you how
much I love you and wena you have done nothing
but treat me as if I'm a cheater, you don't trust me,
you don't listen to me, you don't respect me, you
climb on my head as if I'm some toy to play with
and God I sometimes wish to slap the shit out of
you but I am not a abusive man I was raised well
and I will continue to be a good man...

he sighs.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba you no longer love me and I can

see it

Nqoba: did I tell you that Nkanyezi? did I utter

those words huh?

he looks into her eyes.

Nkanyezi: but you are making me feel like you don't

Nqoba: it's the way you act Nkanyezi, if you serve
me with shit I won't be polite at all

Nkanyezi: Nqoba I'm sorry for whatever I have done

I just want to have you to myself and when I see her
I just think that maybe I would loose the two years I
have spent with you

Nqoba held her by the waist and pulled her closer.

Nqoba: nobody is ever going to replace you in my

heart, I only love you Nkanyezi and if you could just
stop putting little trust in me and maybe...maybe I
will change the way I act towards you

Nkanyezi: I love you Nqoba and I have missed you

so much, I did not like the way we fought and it
really hurt me Nqoba
Nqoba: I'm not to blame here Nkanyezi

Nkanyezj: I know and I'm really sorry, can we have

our love back now? I missed waking up in your arms

She brushed his cheek and he bites his lower.

Nqoba: Ngiyakuthanda yezwa?

Nkanyazi: I love you more

They shared a passionate kiss till Nkanyezi pulled

out and Nqoba groaned grabbing her ass.

Nkanyezi: let's go back outside before everyone

thinks we are busy with other things
Nqoba: i would really like to be busy with other
things...

he said sliding his hand under her dress and shee

stopped him.

Nkanyezi: behave

Nqoba: I will try

They walked out hand in hand and Everyone was

surprised, Nathi just opened his beer.

Nathi: yohhh kwaze kwaBack and forth, kwaze

kwaComplicated ngithi mina Kwaze KwaToxic

he took a sip on his beer watching Nqoba peck

Nkanyezi on the lips before walking to their
direction, Vezo laughs at what Nathi was saying.
Fiso: you fixed things?

Nathi: I tell you it's Toxic like I said

Nqoba: just shut up

Anesu finally felt like she had enough, she steps out
of the pool with water still dripping from her bikini.
She had medium sized boobs which stood still and
were in a perfectly round shape which one could
wish to squeeze if they were in sight. She had a thin
small waist and Good God her curves and the way
her bracket show when she stands still, her white
patches made her even more beautiful and Nqoba
couldn't help himself any longer so he stared.

she looked up and she saw him looking, she smiled

and walked inside the house.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 6
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

We spent the rest of the afternoon having chats

while drinking and listening to music which was
being played by Nathi on the speakers which he
took out from the house, Nathi is a music guy and
he is the one whose always in charge of the music
whenever we have gatherings like this.

I was seated with my brothers while the ladies sat

alone by the pool side and I could see that Anesu
felt left out, Ntethe was trying her very best to
cheer her up but something seemed a little bit off
with her. I have spent a few days with Anesu and I
won't say I know her fully but I can just sense that
she is not okay.

Vezo kicks me on my foot and I snapped out of it, he

gave me a questioning look and I shrug.

Vezo: your mind does not seem to be here

Nqoba: nah it's nothing I just don't know something

is off with Anesu

Vezo: what do you mean something is off about

her?

Nqoba: I don't know man I mean look at her

He took a look at Anesu who was laughing and he

looks back at me with his eyes brows raised up.
Vezo: she seems fine to me

Nqoba: maybe it's just my mind or something

I shook the thought out of my head.

Fiso: what are you two busy talking about?

Vezo: it's nothing

he said and he gave me a look as if he was trying to

read if I was okay or not, I just nod.

Nathi: y'all are being tense, let's dance

he stood up and started dancing when an gqom
started playing, Nathi gets like this when he is drunk
and he loves dragging us all in his drunkness.

Nqoba: I'm not dancing

Nathi: you know how much of a good dancer you

are, come on don't ruin the fun

I found myself getting up and dancing along to the

music, the girls started cheering as I danced and
Nkanyezi stood up to join me while we danced.

I was busy enjoy myself and doing a couple of

moves along with my brothers who simply kept on
making loud noise, everything suddenly started
moving in slow motion and I looked at Anesu who
was standing up and she walked as if she was
struggling to walk, she held her head.
When nobody but myself was paying any attention
she slipped and fell inside the pool, the water
splashed and I found myself pushing whoever was
in front of me aside with so much force and I ran to
the pool.

She was sinking into the pool and there was no sign
of movement, I cursed and the music stopped. I
jumped inside the water and I swam to her, I grib
her tight and I swam with her to the flat outside
part of the pool.

I walked out carrying her in bridal style and I placed

her down on the concrete floor, I checked if she was
breathing but no she wasn't.

Fiso: what happened? is she okay?

Nqoba: fuck she's not breathing

I don't know why I started panicking and I suddenly

lost my mind, I started doing CPR on her and it
wasn't working.

Nqoba: she wasn't inside the water for that long I

don't get why she's not waking up

I wipe the water from my face and looked at her.

Nathi: she's not responding

Nqoba: call Themba now!

Ntethe checked her temperature.

Ntethe: she's freezing cold let's take her inside

I didn't waste any time I carried her inside with my
brothers following behind me, Vezo helped me lay
her down on the bed and he covered her with a
blanket.

Fiso: you really going to make her sleep with wet

clothes

Nqoba: nobody is taking off her clothes

I quickly said and they didn't bother to question me,

I just stood there with my foot tapping on the floor
while staring at her waiting for any sign of
movement but nothing.

Nkanyezi: baby you should change before you catch

a cold
Nqoba: I'm not leaving her

Nkanyezi: she won't go anywhere think about

yourself for a single moment

I ignored her and looked at Fiso who was walking

inside the room.

Nqoba: where is Themba?

Fiso: he just drove in

Nqoba: what's taking him so long?

why do I feel like I'm loosing my mind?

Themba walks in and he quickly took out his

material, he started checking up on her. We all
stood inside the room as it filled with silence,
Themba was also silent.

Themba: her heart beat is fading a little

Fiso: what do you mean is she dying?

Ntethe starts wailing and she covered her mouth

shaking her head, why is she being so dramatic?
Anesu is not dead.

Nqoba: that can't be

I step closer and Themba was still listening to her

heart beat, I stepped closer and held her hand.

Nqoba: Magalela wa-

before I could finish my sentence she shot her eyes
open breathing heavily, she squeezed my hand and
she looked at me with a tear coming out of her left
eye.

Anesu: what happened?

Ntethe: oh my God you scared me

she quickly went to her and gave her a tight hug,

Ntethe pulls out from the hug and wiped the tear
from Anesu's cheek.

Nathi: you are the one who should be telling us

what happened?

Anesu: I don't know I just felt dizzy and the next

thing I could not feel my body, it was as if I was in
the clouds and then everything became blank
Ntethe: don't ever do that again

Anesu: I'm sorry for scaring you guys

She said that looking at me as if I was the one who

was scared out of everyone else? I mean we were
all scared equally right?

Ntethe: you skin is ice cold and you are shivering

Anesu: yeah I do feel a little bit cold

Ntethe: can you guys give us the room I think I have

spare clothes somewhere around the house
We all left and I just went to pour myself a glass of
whiskey, I took a quick sip and I sat down on the
kitchen high chair.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned

only to see Vezo, he sat down next to me.

Vezo: you looked stressed there for a second

Nqoba: I wasn't stressed I was just worried

I clenched my jaw and poured me another glass.

Vezo: you do know that you are the one driving

right?

Nqoba: I'm well aware of that Vezo don't rub it in

Vezo: don't be to hard on yourself, so do you love
her?

This one is crazy, I only love Nkanyezi what type of

question is he asking me. I won't even entertain
him.

Nqoba: did you find any information about Anesu?

Vezo: *chuckles* we are still fishing for something

but at the moment everything is just blank

I got up from my seat.

Nqoba: make it fast man I need that information

Vezo: so that you can know her family and send our
uncle's to lobola her?
I clicked my tongue.

Nqoba: you are drunk

I left him there and I went upstairs, I knocked on the

door and Ntethe came to open. She gave me a smile
and stepped aside.

Nqoba: how is she?

Ntethe: she's still cold but she's fine

Nqoba: we really need to head back

Ntethe: do you think she will be able to walk? I

mean she seems a little bit weak
Nqoba: I don't mind carrying her it's about time I
put these muscles into use

Ntethe: ihhhe! let me leave you two

She left and I looked at Anesu, she looks back at me

and smiled. Why does she always have to smile
when she sees me? I step closer to the bed and
stood in front of her, she looks up at me.

Nqoba: are you ready to leave?

Anesu: I'm cold and my legs are numb

she frowns.

Nqoba: something is definitely wrong with you

I laughed a little.

Anesu: that is not funny but rude, I tell you about

my hard situation and you say something is wrong
with me? are you okay?

Nqoba: okay sorry do you mind if I carry you

Anesu: like a baby?

she giggles and I smirked.

Nqoba: not really since you are not a baby

Anesu: you won't drop me?

Nqoba: I never drop a toothpick

She gasped.

Anesu: did you just call me a toothpick?

Nqoba: no I did not call you anything

She folds her arms and looks at me, someone clears

their throat and I bite my lower lip a little bit
frustrated and turned to see Nkanyezi.

Nkanyezi: baby I have been waiting downstairs for

you, aren't we leaving?

Nqoba: we will be down in a moment you can just

wait for us in the car

She looks at me for a moment and she took the car

keys from my hand, she walks out and I turn to
Anesu.
Anesu: I think I should try walking your girlfriend
doesn't like me and I don't want her to hate me
even more

she attempts getting off the bed and I quickly bent

down tucking my hands under her butt, with my
other hand on her back and I lift her up in bridal
style.

She wraps her arms around my neck with her eyes

locked into mine, she really loves looking into my
eyes and it makes me feel...I don't know how it
makes me feel.

We made our way down the stairs and Anesu bids

everyone goodbye, Nathi followed behind us and he
opened the door for Anesu.
I helped her inside and I'm not going to lie but she is
becoming cold as ice instead of being warm. I could
feel Nkanyezi's eyes and I did not want to look at
her because I know she will start with her drama
and I'm just not in the mood.

I left Nathi talking to Anesu who couldn't stop

laughing at his boring jokes, I think she's just trying
to kind there is no way she's laughing at Zinathi's
jokes he is very horrible at making jokes.

I got inside the car and I brushed Nkanyezi's thigh, I

was about to ask if she's okay but she decided to
remove my hand, I'm not begging any woman
uyahlanya lona.

I start the car once Nathi left and the car filled with
ocward silence along with Anesu's cute snores. We
arrived at my place and Nkanyezi got out first, I
carried sleeping Anesu to her room and tucked her
in.

She grabs my arm when I was about to leave and

she looked at me.

Anesu: thank you for always being there for me

Nqoba: sure

I brush her cheek and left the room, I arrived at my

room and Nkanyezi was getting ready to take a
shower.

Nqoba: can I join you?

Nkanyezi: no you can just bathe alone

she walks inside the bathroom and slambs the door
closes the door. I just took off the shirt I was
wearing and I was feeling a little bit exhausted,
once she was done she continued to give me the
silence treatment.

I left her just like that and I took a hot shower, I got
done and I dried my body right in front of her while
she kept stealing glances of me. She decided to
ignore me right? so she must deal with the
consequences, I'm very good at playing such games
and my number one rule when she becomes like
this...don't beg she will come right back to her
senses as time goes.

I wore my boxers and a vest.

I went undercover and I slept, she joined me and

she tried to move closer to me and I just pushed her
away from me.
...

It was late at night and Nqoba woke up feeling a

little bit hot, he got out of the bed and he walks to
the window and he slides the sliding door to the
side and went to stand outside the balcony as the
cold breeze cooled him down.

He felt thirsty so he decided to go downstairs to

grab a bottle of water, he exits the room and he
went to the kitchen. He took out a bottle of water
from the fridge and he opens it gulping it down in
one go, he did not know he was that thirsty.

He disposes the bottle and he heads back upstairs.

On his way to his room he starts hearing cries
coming from Anesu's room, he thought maybe he
was hearing things but the cries became louder.
He turns on his tracks and he quickly went to
Anesu's room, he walks inside and he found her
tossing and turning. I walked to her and I shook her,
she wakes up gasping for air and she starts
breathing heavily.

Nqoba: breath...

She starts crying and I pulled her closer for a hug,

she cried even harder and I didn't know what to do.

Nqoba: Anesu what happened?

She is freezing cold.

Anesu: I saw them again, they keep coming back

and this time I was inside the water and I could feel
something very huge standing behind me and when
I turned...
she cried.

Nqoba: what was it?

Anesu: it was a blue snake with blue eyes Nqoba,

I'm scared please don't leave me...

she grabs me tighter and this time she was starting

to calm down, I gave her a kiss on the forehead and
I thought about what she was asking me to do.

Nqoba: I can't...

Anesu: please Nqoba don't leave me, please

She looks into my eyes and wipes her tears.

Nqoba: okay I will stay now stop crying

I took off my slippers and I got undercover with her,

I pulled her to lay on my chest and she was freezing
like crazy.

Nqoba: you are freezing...

Anesu: and you are warm

she snuggled closer to me and the next thing she

snores, I just laughed at how she was able to sleep
that fast. Her body temperature started to change
from cold to warm, with my arms locked around her
waist I found myself drifting off to sleep.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 7
NARRATIVE

It was morning already and Nkanyezi woke up

stretched her arms while she yawned and then she
rubbed her eyes. She looked next to her and Nqoba
was not in the bad, she thought that maybe he
woke up early and went to his study but she would
have heard him leaving the bed. She shook her head
not wanting to think any further about Nqoba, she
wanted to apologise for the way she acted last night
and she wanted to make breakfast for her man and
of course Anesu included since she also lives in the
house.

She smiled and got off the bed heading to the

bathroom to take a warm bubble bath, she soaked
herself in the water and she kept humming while
scrubbing her body.
Once she was done she steps out, rinsed the
bathtub with clean water and she took a towel
drying her body. She wraps a towel around her
body and she went to the main room, she starts
lotion her body and she wore a pair of jeans and a
black t-shirt.

She went downstairs and she started making

breakfast, she gathered everything on top of the
table once she was done cooking and went upstairs
to check for Nqoba in his study.

She knocked.

Nkanyezi: baby?

she opened the door and Nqoba was not inside the
study, she got confused and maybe thought he was
inside the indoor gym but when she got there
Nqoba was nowhere to be seen.
She didn't want to go ask Anesu since ger pride was
not allowing her, she put her pride aside and she
went to Anesu's room. She didn't bother knocking,
she just barged in and stopped on her tracks before
she opened her mouth when she saw Nqoba and
Anesu on the same bed. Anesu laying on top of
Nqoba's chest with his arms wrapped around her,
they looked cute and that made Nkanyezi even
angrier.

She felt her tears when she realised how she felt so
cold at night when she was sleeping last night but
she convinced herself that Nqoba would never do
anything as such.

She went to Nqoba's side and he shook him, he did

not wake up and that frustrated Nkanyezi even
more.
Nkanyezi: Nqoba marn wake up!

she half shouts and that was enough to wake

Anesu, she opened her eyes and her eyes widen
when she saw Nkanyezi.

Anesu: what are you doing in my room?

Nkanyezi: in your room? bethuna...

she laughs a little and clapped her hands twice

before putting on a straight face.

Nkanyezi: you don't have a room here this is my

mans house and you are just homeless

she looks at Anesu up and down, Anesu sighs she

really doesn't get why Nkanyezi always gets worked
up like this. Anesu froze when she saw that she was
on top of Nqoba, She felt her throat getting dry.

Nkanyezi: what are you doing in the same bed with

my man?

Anesu: uhm...

she bites her lower lip also trying register what she
was seeing because she does not remember
sleeping with Nqoba but then she snaps
remembering last night.

Anesu: ohh now I remember, I had a bad dream and

I don't know how Nqoba got here but I guess I was
crying in my sleep so he came to comfort me and I
asked him if he could stay since I was so scared
after the dream I had...
She explains and the explaining did not do her any
justice, Nkanyezi felt like she was loosing her
common sense.

Nkanyezi: are you even hearing yourself? you asked

someone's boyfriend to sleep with you since you
had a bad dream...what are you a five year old?

Anesu: I don't get why you are getting all worked up

because we just slept

Nkanyezi no longer wanted to listen to Anesu since

every word she said started irritate the hell out of
her and the fact the Nqoba still had his hands
around Anesu made her want to run out the whole
yard naked and scream till she unsees everything.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba wake up for fucks sake

she shouts and hits him by the arm, Nqoba woke up
and he shook his head. He doesn't like being woken
up plus he was enjoying his sleep.

Nqoba: eyy eyy eyy why is everybody shouting?

he sat up straight and he finally frees Anesu from

his grib, he looks up only to see Nkanyezi standing
there, he cursed under his breath because last night
he had a plan which was to leave once Anesu slept
but then...

Nkanyezi: so you be out here telling me that I don't

respect and you get to do this? how could you
Nqoba?

she shouts and Nqoba held his head, he had a hang

over from the drinking yesterday.
Nkanyezi: Nqoba start talking and I'm sure you have
a better explanation for this because this bitch...

Nqoba looks at her.

Nqoba: ima ima (wait wait) whose a bitch?

he looks around the room and he clearly saw no

bitch so her looks at Nkanyezi once more, he got off
the bed with his jaw clenching and he looks at
Nkanyezi in the eyes. She has known him for years
and by the look in his eyes she could tell that he
was pissed.

Nqoba: Khuluma Nkanyezi because I'm sure you are

not calling Anesu a bitch...

Nkanyezi: Nqoba I was just saying that she...

Nqoba: why can't you simply ask why I slept with
her in the first place? why do you have to be so
immature about everything Nkanyezi

Nkanyezi: Nqoba I asked and...

Nqoba: you asked? you call walking inside the room

and jumping into conclusions asking?

he laughs a little.

Nqoba: did you even pass your grades at school?

your English teacher would be disappointed

Nkanyezi: you are insulting me right now

Nqoba: so you don't like it when someone insults

you but you enjoy insulting others? what's your deal
Nkanyezi? you want me to break things off because
right now ungimi la!

he placed his hand on his neck.

Anesu: Nqoba that is not necessary, she has all the

right a to be mad in fact...Nkanyezi I'm sorry

Nqoba: you are apologising because you had a

nightmare that made you cry and you couldn't sleep
properly?

he chuckles.

Nqoba: Nkanyezi don't you have nightmares?

Nkanyezi: I do have nightmares but...

Nqoba: but what? where you ever able to sleep
after those nightmares?

Nkanyezi shook her head.

Nqoba: Anesu felt the same way and I had to sleep

with her, I'm not apologising for trying to help
someone who required my help, I'm not going to
apologise for hurting your feelings because you are
the one who keeps hurting yourself by bringing your
goddamn insecurities...

he stops because he knew he was about to utter

very hurtful words, he breaths for a second and he
sighs.

Nqoba: I love you okay? but I can't take this fix your
insecurities man
he walks out of the room feeling very disappointed
and angry at the same time, Nkanyezi looks at
Anesu who felt pitty for her.

Anesu: Nkanyezi I'm so...

Nkanyezi: save it!

she snaps at her and she walks out, she took her
things from Nqoba's room and Nqoba just looked at
her.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba I'm leaving

Nqoba: okay

Nkanyezi's jaw dropped and she sighed then left.

...

After taking a shower and getting dressed for work,

Nqoba went downstairs and he helps himself to the
breakfast Nkanyezi prepared. He can never say no
to food which he bought, he can't be wasting his
money just because Nkanyezi mande the food.

He sat down having his food and Anesu walks

downstairs wearing some pair of leggings and a
white crop top. She joined Nqoba and she sighs
looking t him

Anesu: Nqoba ever since I came into your life you

have done a lot for me and God I appreciate it but I
think I should leave, I will leave everything you
bought for me and I will leave your life

Nqoba: where is this coming from?

Anesu: Nqoba I'm tired of always being the cause of
you fighting with your girlfriend, I don't want her to
end up trying to kill me for some reasons I don't
even know...

Nqoba: uyahlanya awuyi ndawo wena (you are

crazy you are not going anywhere) where will you
even go?

Anesu: I don't know but I can even stay in the

streets if it means that you will get back to being in
good terms with your girlfriend, I don't like these
fights okay? I'm to sensitive for all this and...

Nqoba: what did I say?

Anesu: ngiyahlanya? (I'm crazy)

Nqoba laughs and his phone rang, it was his
personal assistant Madison.

Nqoba: I have to take this

he excused himself.

Nqoba: Madison?

Madison: sir please tell me you are on your way to

the office

Nqoba: no I just had my breakfast. what is going

on?

Madison: someone is here to as you

Nqoba: tell me the name Madison

he gnashed his teeth.

Madison: it's the King your father

Nqoba: when did he arrive?

Madison: it's been a minute or so

Nqoba: I'm on my way

Madison: sir...

he hung up and he starts panicking, he has been

ignoring his father's calls and he has finally decided
to come for himself.
He took out his phone and called Nathi, he
answered.

Nathi: Nqoba?

Nqoba: father is at the office

Nathi: I'm not coming to work

he quickly said.

Nqoba: you want me to go in there and face that

man alone?

Nathi: you are the one who has been ignoring his
calls not us

Nqoba: I need you to come to office

Nathi: I don't want my body to come out in a casket

Nqoba clicks his tongue and hung up.

He walks back to the dining room.

Nqoba: I have to go we will talk about this later

Anesu: where are you going?

Nqoba: I have got work Anesu, I will send lucas over

just in case you want to visit Ntethe

He took his things and he left without saying a

word, he quickly drove to the office. When he
arrived everyone was busy working and minding
their own business, he made his way to his office
and he breathes before entering.

Nqoba: Nzwakele

His father chuckles as his laughter filled the

office,he was seated on Nqoba's office chair with
his royal stick in hand. He looks at Nqoba who
swallows and steps closer.

Nqoba: what bring you all the was from Eastern

Cape?

Lungani: you not answering my calls is the reason

that brought me here and some other reasons that I
was just notified off

Nqoba: about the calls father you know I'm very

busy and I was going to call you but...
Lungani: I'm not stupid Nqobuthando,.stupidity is
one of the things I was never born with

Nqoba sat down and his father looks at him.

Lungani: who told you to sit down?

Nqoba looks at him as if he is not noticing that he is

inside his office, Nqoba realised a soft and low
chuckle.

Nqoba: I didn't realise that we were at the royal

palace where I have to ask for permission before
doing stuff

Lungani chuckles and smirked he loves how his son

is able to debate with him on certain stuff even
though it sometimes angers him that he thinks and
acts the same way as him, the qualities Nqoba has
show that he is indeed his son.

Lungani: I saw you trending all over the news with

that girl who was naked

Nqoba: you did? that's great I guess

Lungani: and you left the opening and made us

loose a very huge amount of money

Nqoba: more money will flow into our banks as

time goes don't be bothered by droplets

Lungani: and I have been hearing that you live with

the girl

Nqoba: whoever told you that really is keeping up

with me I wouldn't be surprised if you have
someone spying on me and reporting back to you
on every move I do

Lungani: I'm not that interested in your life

Nqoba: says someone you came all the way from

Eastern Cape...

Lungani: let us cut the crap and chit chat, I received

call from Mrs Ngubane and she told me how you
have been ill treating her daughter

Nqoba rolls his eyes and his father noticed, he

cleared his throat and sat up straight realising he
was a bit comfortable and things were starting to
get tense.

Nqoba: I'm not ill treating Nkanyezi baba

Lungani: then you are trying to say that her mother
wasted her time and airtime to tell me lies?

Nqoba: that is not what I'm implying

Lungani: that what are you trying to say to me son?

you are the one that decided to propose
MaNgubane

Nqoba: because you told me that you wanted to

unite the families and make them one, it was more
of a business deal to you and it was more for love
on my side

Lungani: then what changed?

Nqoba: Nkanyezi is just...She is so impudent and it

frustrates me
Lungani: so you don't blame her for being mad that
you chose to sleep with that imposter you don't
know

Nqoba: she is not a imposter

Lungani: ohh look he is defending her, I don't really

care what you do with your relationship but I would
hate to receive or hear that you are ill treating
MaNgubane

Nqoba: she should stop being insecure

Lungani: do you love the girl?

Nqoba: yes I love her but she's just making things

hard for me
Lungani: you are already having problems and you
are not yet married, how would things be when you
marry?

Nqoba: I don't know but I just...

Lungani: I want a wedding soon Nqoba and

grandchildrens before I grow even older

Nqoba chuckles as if Lungani looks any younger.

Nqoba: I will try fixing things but I'm not begging

her if she continued with her drama...

Lungani: I will ask you mother to talk to her

Nqoba: you know mother does not like her

Lungani: I will talk to your mother and I will make
things happen in the mean time, get rid of that girl
you busy defending

Nqoba: I'm not going to do that baba don't tell me

what to do, she is staying

Lungani: mmh

he looks at Nqoba for a second before standing up.

Lungani: I will be seeing you for Christmas right?

Nqoba: yeah sure

Lungani: good, I will leave now and I want you to fix

things with that girl
Nqoba nods.

Lungani: don't forget where you come from, you are

totality so don't be reckless

He walks out and he bumps into Nathi who just

froze, he snaps out of it and he smiles like an idiot.

Nathi: ohh baba you are here, I didn't know you

were coming how are you?

Lungani chuckles shaking his head.

Lungani: I'm good yourself?

Nathi: never better

Lungani: mmh
he left the office and Nathi went to check the pulse
of his brother to see if he survived that session with
his father and he bursts into laughter.

Nathi: he fried you huh?

Nqoba clicks his tongue and walks into his office,

Nathi just laughs following him.

CHAPTER 8
NKANYEZI NGUBANE.

I'm in tears right now and I can't even see the road
properly as I drove to my place, Nqoba is really
being an ass only if he knew and only if I was able to
tell him that on his face. I arrived at my place and
parked my car inside the garage, Nqoba bought this
house for me a year ago after he proposed and I
was so happy that I will finally have his second
name next to mine. It's a pity as to how all of that is
fading away because of some girl who popped out
of nowhere.

I don't get what Anesu has that keeps pulling Nqoba

closer to her, I locked the door and wipe my tears
while I sniffed. I placed my car keys on top of the
counter and I went to my room, I changed into my
favourite pyjamas and I went undercover.

I cried all over again while scrolling at our pictures

on my phone, Nqoba is really stupid for thinking
that the way he treats me will stop me from loving
him. He can drag me across the street and do
whatever but I will love him despite that, I want
that wedding he promised me.
my phone rang and it was my mother, I quickly
answered and cleared my throat so she does not
sense that I was crying.

Nkanyezi: mama hello?

"hey baby I have been meaning to call you
yesterday but I guess I forgot, how are you doing?"

Nkanyezi: I'm coping mma and yourself?

"I am fine...wait are you crying?"

Nkanyezi: no mama I'm not crying, why would I cry?

I think maybe I'm catching a flu

"don't lie to me Nkanyezi I swear I will murder that

boy with my own hands, what did he do now?"
That question was enough to make me break down
all over again, I don't know why this matter is
making me cry like this? I mean Nqoba explained
that nothing happened but still he shared a bed
with her and that is not a good thing while you have
a fiance.

Nkanyezi: mama I can't do this anymore...

"talk to me and tell me what happened?"

Nkanyezi: you remember the girl I told you about?

"the one whom he brought into his house?"

Nkanyezi: yes that one, thus morning I found him

sharing the same bed with her and mama it hurts
because I love him, he told me I was being insecure
when I asked him about it and I don't get what he
meant because I was hurt and...

"okay baby it's okay don't cry, I will fix this matter."

Nkanyezi: nope mama don't do anything, I don't

want to make matters worse and have him ignore
me the whole week

"nonsense that boy should own up to his mistakes

and he should treat you like the princess you are, I
won't tolerate such treatment toward you I will sort
this out trust me."

I wipe my tears and we continued to talk until she

told me that she needs to make a quick call. She
hung up and I called my girl Nsike, she answered on
the second ring.
Nsike: girl!

she shouts through the phone, Nsike is the only real

friend I have and I can bet on a million that this girl
will always have my back no matter what.

Nkanyezi: hey bitch how are you?

Nsike: high and you?

Nkanyezi: you are smoking this early? you are going

to get kung cancer wena I swear

Nsike: there is power in the to the bitch don't say

that or else I will make your pair of lungs if that
happens

Nkanyezi: whatever girl can you come over my

place
Nsike: is everything okay?

Nkanyezi: I don't want to talk about it over the

phone

I sniff.

Nsike: are you crying? oh my God baby!

Nkanyezi: can you please come I need you

Nsike: I'm on my way baby hang on I love you okay?

Nkanyezi: I love you too

I hung up and I started watching Netflix while

waiting for Nsike to arrive, I went downstairs when I
received a text from her few minutes later telling
me that she is outside.

I went to unlock the door and she stood there with

a bottle of whiskey in her hand, she pulls me into a
tight hug when she saw me and I giggled like a baby.

Nsike: you look terrible

Nkanyezi: you have no idea on how I really feel

Nsike: let's pop this bottle open and talk shall we?

Nkanyezi: that sounds like a great idea

We walked inside and we opt for the living room

since it had bigger space, Nsike came in with the
glasses and I opened the bottle. We scrolled on
Netflix till we found a movie and we started
drinking while watching the movie.

Nsike: so tell me what were you sobbing about on

the phone?

Nkanyezi: it's Nqoba...

Nsike: what happened between you two? it seems

like you two always have problems

Nkanyezi: I found him in the same bed with that

bitch Anesu

Nsike gasped covering her mouth.

Nsike: he did what?

Nkanyezi: girl, if I were to tell you that I'm hurt I
would be lying because I'm more then devastated

Nsike: that bitch has the audacity...haibo!

Nkanyezi: and instead of apologising Nqoba started

defending her when I called her the bitch she was

Nsike: do you think he is in love with her?

Nkanyezi: Nqoba doesn't fall that easily trust me I

know my man

Nsike: if you say so

she shrugs.
Nkanyezi: but trust me [Link] going to let go of my
relationship with Nqoba because he is mine, he will
marry me and we will live happily ever after if I have
to do the unthinkable then trust me I will

Nsike: that's my girl

she smiles and we made a toast, we spent the

whole day drinking and venting about our
relationships and God I was feeling really drunk. To
make things worse Nsike took out some weed and
we started smoking, the room filled with our crazy
laughter as we started seeing things because of the
weed.

It got late and Nsike left since her man wanted her, I
went to take a shower and once I was done I wore
my short pyjamas. I didn't feel like cooking so I
ordered something to eat, the food arrived and I
went to get it.
I sat down and ate my food while watching
television, My head felt really heavy from all the
weed and alcohol I consumed in one day.

The door bell rang and I checked the time, who

could it be so late at night? I went to check the door
and when I opened Nqoba stood there with a
Banquet fresh red roses.

I told my arms and he looks at me biting his lower

lip.

Nqoba: sawbona

I clicked my tongue and I attempted to shut the

door right on his face but he blocked the door from
closing using his foot, he opens the door and looks
at me dead in the eyes.
Nqoba: can I come in?

Nkanyezi: no you can't come in Nqoba because I

don't want to be anywhere around you so please
leave

Nqoba: sthandwa sami can we just talk?

Nkanyezi: you didn't seem like you wanted to talk in

the morning what makes you think I want to listen
to your bullshit?

Nqoba: ngoba uyangithanda nami Ngiyakuthanda

Nkanyezi: I'm not ready for this

I turned on my tracks and went back inside, I stood
in the middle of the room and I watched him
[Link] door. He slowly walks up to me and looks
at me in the eyes.

Nqoba: so you won't talk to me at all?

Nkanyezi: you are the one who came here uninvited

so enlighten me with whatever

Nqoba: baby I'm sorry

I smirked.

Nkanyezi: you did not seem that sorry in the

morning

Nqoba: I know I hurt you and...

Nkanyezi: you always hurt me Nqoba

Nqoba: I did not know that you would react like that
when you saw us, I just wanted to help

Nkanyezi: okay what about my feeling then? did you

think about how I would feel even for a second?

Nqoba: I did but I...

Nkanyezi: you saw that my feeling weren't that

inportant

he clenched his jaw and steps closer.

Nqoba: stop interrupting me while I'm still talking it

irritates me
Nkanyezi: you can't always have things your way

Nqoba: I'm here now ain't I?

Nkanyezi: yes you are but I know for a fact that you
will be so inconsiderate Nqoba, you are so ignorant
and hard headed that...

Nqoba: you want sit on my face and make me lick

you dry

I laughed a little more like scoffed and I liked at him.

Nkanyezi: you sound so discussing right now

Nqoba: do I?
he placed the roses on the counter and he steps
even closer, his eyes locked with mine and I started
to step back till he grabbed me by the waist and
pulled me closer.

Nqoba: it won't be discussing when you moan my

name while I...

Nkanyezi: Nqoba stop...

my breathing changes and he brought his face

closer to mine, my intestines tighten into a knot and
I start breathing heavily when he started kiss me on
the neck sucking my skin as I felt his warm
tongue...Good God he knows my weakness, I bite
my lower lip and he stops looking at me.

Nqoba: I'm sorry

Nkanyezi: whatever Nqoba just get out of my house

Nqoba: are you sure you want me to do that

because your body is telling me otherwise

Nkanyezi: Nqoba just...

He slowly pulls me closer and I could feel his bulge,

he breathes deeply and he slowly took my lip into
his, he grabs my ass and I moan which gave him
more excess since I wasn't responding to the kiss. I
could taste the strong whiskey as I slowly respond
to the kiss, he lifts me up and he went ahead
placing me on top of the kitchen platter as if I was
some food he was about to devour.

He pulls out from the kiss and he looks at my body,

he bites hard on his lower lip and he starts taking
my top off, my boobs were exposed to him and he
squeezed them then took one into his mouth, the
feeling of his warm tongue on my nipple made my
clit to start twerking at the thought of him doing
some crazy stuff to me.

He stop sucking my boob and he made me take off

the short I was wearing, luck or bad luck I wasn't
wearing any panties. He looks at me with a smirk on
his face and he slowly slides his finger inside my
honey pot, he slowly moved his finger and slides
another one making me moan as if felt so good but I
bet his dick feels better.

He increased the phase and I found myself getting

more wet down there as I felt a little urge of peeing,
God he didn't stop till I cummed all over the
counter.

He kissed me lifting me off the counter and carrying

me upstairs to my room, he threw me on the bed
and he starts taking off his clothes. He climbs the
bed with his tie in hand, I looked into his eyes as I
have him both my hands so he can tie them up.

He made me lay down and he widely opened my

legs, my coochie was exposed to him. He slowly
positions himself to my entrance and he slides
himself inside me, My walls expand welcoming him
and I moaned.

Nkanyezi: ahh Nqoba!

He groans as he starts penetrating me, he slowly

thrusts inside me and I closed my eyes as the
pleasure kicked in.

Nkanyezi: fuck!

He starts increasing the phase and my moans filled

the room, I could feel my legs shaking in an intense
and Nqoba down stop. Nqoba never stops till he us
fully satisfied and that is one of the things I love
about him. He thrusts in harder and deeper as he
groans slapping inside me so hard I cummed, he
doesn't stop but he slowly down a little giving her
hard but slow strokes penetrating me a little there a
d there.

Nkanyezi: fuck you are doing it so good

he groans and starts thrusting in harder, I moaned

fuck I cried my lungs out as I felt him going deeper
then before.

He pulls out and he stops while I we panting, he

flips me over like an egg and he enters from
behind...the rest was history.

...
The following morning I woke up barely able to walk
properly, Nqoba was already up and taking a
shower. I wanted to join him but joining him will
only mean that I will get fucked in the process and I
don't want that to happen. My honey pot is literally
on fire as speak, Nqoba was so freaky last night and
I don't know we're he got all that energy from.

he steps out of the shower with a deep around his

lower body, he looks at me as I leapt to the
bathroom and he just laughs.

I took a quick shower shower, I got dressed and

wore a tight dress and went downstairs to find
Nqoba making breakfast.

Nqoba: you look good

Nkanyezi: thank you baby

I lean closer for a kiss and he smacks my ass in the

process.

Nqoba: I won't stay for long I have places to be at

Nkanyezi: oh really?

I frowned.

Nqoba: but I will see you late tonight after work

Nkanyezi: can we do dinner?

Nqoba: if I'm not late yes we can

Nkanyezi: perfect
I went to him and I made him stop what he as
doing, I wrap my arms around his neck and pecked
him on the lips.

Nkanyezi: can it always be like this?

Nqoba: it can be I guess

Nkanyezi: I love you Nqoba and I don't want to

loose you

Nqoba: I love you more

I giggle and allowed him to continue making

breakfast.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 9
ANESU MTSHALI.

She is seated in the living room with a bag of chips

in her hands as she watched a movie, she is so very
curios with her eyes glued on the screen as the
movie continued to play. This is the third movie she
is watching ever since she woke up, she has been
trying to treat her boredom with the movies.

The door bell rang and she groans placing down her
beg of chips and pausing the movie. She got up
from the couch and she went to get the door, she
answered the door and Fiso stood there with a
shopping beg from the apple store with a wide
smile on his face.
Anesu: hey Fiso, why are you smiling like that?

she giggles and Fiso gave her a hug.

Fiso: it's nothing, are you okay?

Anesu: yes I'm okay and yourself?

I looked behind him hoping that he came with

Ntethe, he just chuckles and I look at him.

Fiso: relax she is still busy on a call with her mother

Anesu: who said I was looking for Ntethe?

Fiso: I know you are very fond of her and I don't

blame you
They walked inside the house.

Anesu: do you perhaps know where Nqoba is?

Fiso: he is busy with work and he asked me to come

check on you and give you this

he hands Anesu the shopping beg from istore and

she took it looking inside, She took out a box of a
new iphone 15 pro max and she looked at the box
confused.

Anesu: whose phone is this?

Fiso: how do you know it's a phone?

Anesu: because I know how to read, Fiso I'm not

stupid
Fiso: I never said you were i was just messing with
you

He laughs and Anesu rolls her eyes.

Anesu: I can't take this, I don't need this phone

Fiso: Nqoba told me you would say that

Ntethe walks in with a wide smile on her face, she

had beg with her and good God she looked
stunning.

Ntethe: where is my girl?

She pushed Fiso to the side jokingly and Fiso raised

his hands in the air as he watched the two girls
share a hug, it's as if they have know each other for
years but it has only been a few days.

Anesu: Ntethe you like squeezing me

she giggles and Ntethe pulls out from the hug.

Ntethe: I'm sorry I just misused being around you

Anesu: I can see

Ntethe: so do you love your new phone?

Anesu: no I don't, I don't even want it

Ntethe: girl that's an iPhone

Anesu: I don't care Ntethe, Nqoba has already
wasted a lot of money on me and I can't accept so
much things at once

Fiso: it's a gift from all of us as your brothers and we

want you to accept this gift

Anesu: Fiso you are just manipulating me into

accepting this

Fiso: accept it then

Anesu: fine but promise me no more unexpected

gifts okay?

Fiso: we love you how can we not shower you with

gifts, I have to love and leave you
He pecks Ntethe on the lips and he bites his lower
lip before breathing out.

Fiso: I love you okay don't ever forget that

Ntethe: I love you too uyazi nawe

she giggles and he smiles, he left and Ntethe looks

at Anesu once Fiso was out of the house, she
screams jumping up and down.

Ntethe: I love him! I love him! I love him!

She stood and giggles, Anesu held her chest and she
laughs out loud shaking her head.

Anesu: you are crazy

Ntethe: wait till you fall in love, you will be crazy like
this soon?

Anesu: whatever what's with the bag?

Ntethe: didn't Nqoba tell you? I will be having a

sleep over since they won't be returning tonight

Anesu: for what reason?

Ntethe: baby did not tell me the exact details but it

is work related

Anesu: oh

Anesu thought that maybe Nqoba never wants to

see her again since she has been causing fights
between him and his fiance, she frowns as lot of
questions creeped into her mind.
Ntethe: don't worry though you will spend the rest
of the night with me

Anesu smile weakly, Ntethe helped Anesu unbox

her brand new phone and she was a little bit
overwhelmed at to how beautiful it was. She
installed apps on her phone and she started saving
the brothers numbers, she started taking pictures
with Ntethe and they enjoyed themselves.

NARRATIVE.

It got late and the Dube brothers were getting ready

for their mission which they have been planning for
the past few weeks. The thing abiut these brothers
is that once they get obsessed abiut doing
something they make sure that they do it, they have
been tracking this millionaire who just arrived in
town. He owns a huge double mansion to die for
and a lot of luxury cars, it is said in his house in his
secrete safe hidden behind a huge picture of him
there lies the treasure.

He has some gold worth millions and some

daimonds to, his house is safely gaurdered with 32
man watching the mansion 24/7. They got dressed
into their black tracksuit and they wore matching
black binnies, they covered their faces with black
bandanas and wore their bullet proof vests.

They had hundred a twenty man on their side who

are well trained, don't ask where they got these
man but all i can say is the Dube brothers have
connections all over the place. They can arrange an
army of man just with a simple phone call.
The black BMW 325is cars drove out and it's almost
like they filled the whole strata, the drive was short
but filled with fun since they would do a drifts on
the road before continuing with they drive.

Once they were a mile away from the mansion they

turned off their lights and Vezo tool out his mini
laptop, he plugged in his USB which was shaped as a
human skull painted in white.

He starts typing there for a second and immiedielty

the lights went off at the mansion and the air in the
atmosphere thickens. The huge gate opens and the
sound of the cars roaring as they wait to drive in,
Nqoba gave Vezo a look and Vezo clicks the 'Enter'
button.

Vezo: weapons disarmed

he lowers his bandana and he smiles, Nqoba starts
the car and they drive inside the yard with more
cars following behind them. They formed a circle as
they drove inside the yard and they stopped, they
got out in their numbers and they started firing
their gun machines at the gaurds and they stopped
down on the floor dead.

Vezo: we only have thirty minutes to be in and out

before the lights light up and the alarms start
ringing

Nqoba: you heard that gents let's get the gold and
daimonds

He cocks his gun and heads to the house, he shot

the glass sliding door till the glass cracked and
shattered down on the floor. That is how dramatic
he is, they made their way inside the house and
they took down every man on their sight in a split
second. They searched around the house for the
huge picture of this billionaire and Nathi found it.

Nathi: over here!

he shouts and Vezo went with Nqoba to where

Nathi called, Nathi slides the image to the side and
a huge metal door stood in front of them.

Nqoba: Vezo make it quick, twenty minutes is left

Vezo: yehlisa umoya (calm down)

he took out his laptop from his laptop side bag, he

opens the laptop and he started punching on those
buttons. He finally cracked the pin after three
minutes and they opens the safe, they took out
torches a d they started lighting the safe. The place
was filled with so much Gold and daimonds they
started to fill their bags with everything, Gold is
very heavy which is why they hand picked the best
man with muscles.

They filled each bag and tool everything to the cars,

While Nqoba was inside helping the gents gather
everything in one go the lights simply went inland
the alarm started ringing so loud they freaked.

They took what they had in their hands and they

got into their cars, they struggled with the fact that
the gate was closed.

Vezokuhle tried to hack into the system so he can

unlock the gate one more time but he couldn't,
Nqoba freaked and everyone started panicking.

Nathi: shit we are stuck!

he cursed out loud while Vezo started sweating
trying one more time and the gate opened, they
drove out in so much speed and they slit up each
one knowing their root back to the warehouse.

Nqoba took off his bandana along the way and he

laughs out load shaking Vezo's hand and whistled.

...

They arrived at the warehouse and Vezo scanned

everything if it had no tracker, sound stupid but
they are capable of doing anything.

While they were at the warehouse Fiso's phone

rang and it was Ntethe, he raised his eyebrow
confused because she is usually sleep at this hour.

He answers.
Fiso: muntu wami (My person)

Ntethe: Fiso she is gone

she breathes heavily through the phone.

Fiso: who is gone?

Ntethe: Anesu is gone, we dozed off in the couch

and when I woke up she was gone the front door
was opened and the security said they never saw
her leaving

Fiso: what the fuck...

Ntethe: baby please come back, I have searched the

house and she is nowhere to be found...she's gone
she starts crying and Fiso panick a little, phela he
thinks of Anesu as her younger sister.

Fiso: we are on our way

he hung up.

Nathi: we are on our way where? we still have a lot

to do can't you see this cold?

Fiso: stop fooling around Nathi, Anesu is missing

Nqoba: what!

His heart skips a beat and he looks at Fiso.

Fiso: Ntethe says they were sleeping and the next
thing when she woke up She was not there, the
security did not see her leaving

Vezo: where could she possibly be?

Nqoba: some people are going to get fired today

he clenched his jaw grabbing the keys to his car, his

eyes were bloodshot and his blood boiling of anger
but at the same time the sound of his heart
pumping so loud and fast made him question...what
was this fear he is suddenly feeling?

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 10
NARRATIVE.
The Dube brothers drove in so much speed in their
cars and Nqoba was the one ahead of all of them,
they left everything at the warehouse because of
this. They drive was long and frustrating to all the
brothers because they thought the longer they
drove the harder it would become to find Anesu.

After what seemed like an hour they finally arrived

at Nqoba's place, they got out of their cars and
went inside more like barging in. Fiso went to the
Ntethe and Nqoba walked in like a mad person and
started searching the house.

Ntethe: I already did that

Nqoba clenched his jaw and turned to Ntethe and

Fiso who were holding hands, Nqoba sighed deeply
with his eyes closed trying his leave best to calm
down.
Vezo: when was the last time you saw her?

Ntethe: we were sleeping like I said

Nathi: do you not perhaps know where she might

be?

Ntethe shook her head.

Nqoba: where is her phone?

Ntethe: I don't know maybe she has it with her

Nqoba: Vezokuhle track...

Vezo interrupts Nqoba.

Vezo: already on it

Nqoba gave him a stare because he did not allow

him to finish his sentence which is very frustrating
also, Vezo sat on the couch while busy on his laptop
trying to track Anesu's phone. This is perhaps one of
the reasons why Nqoba wanted Anesu to have a
phone, to keep a close eye on her.

Vezo: I found her

Fiso: where is She?

Vezo gasped first and he raised his eyebrow. it

seemed like what he was seeing on the screen was
really confusing.

Nqoba: talk Vezokuhle!

Vezo: I think she is...She is heading to the beach

Them: The beach?

They all asked at once also confused.

Ntethe: what could she possible be doing at the

beach at this hour

Nqoba: you are still asking questions let's go

He took his car keys and he left with his brothers

along with Ntethe following behind, Nqoba got
inside his car and he sighs deeply one more time
think that maybe he was at the verge of having a
heart attach.

He starts his car and he drove out the yard, he

drove like a mad person to the beach and he arrived
first with his brothers following behind. When he
stepped out of the car strong wind started blowing
and he could hear the sounds of the waves slashing,
his eyes searched around and there was no sign of
Anesu. Their brothers cars parked and they stepped
out, they all started shouting and searching for
Anesu hoping for a response from her.

Vezo: you know I can't go any further since I'm a

twin

he says looking at Nqoba, he clicks his tongue and

he went closer to the beach. The waves grew
stronger and louder that's when he saw Anesu
walking to inside the beach with the water slashing
right at her face.

Nqoba: Anesu!
he shouts but she did not turn her head to show
that he was hearing him call her, he cursed as he
saw a huge wave approaching as if it was going to
cover her up. He quickly ran to her forgetting that
the waves were strong or that the wind was
blowing really hard.

Nqoba: Anesu watch out...

he held her by the arm as the wave covered the

both of them swallowing them up, Nqoba lost grib
of Anesu's hands and he struggled to swim properly
with the water being thus strong.

He could swim but at this point he just couldn't,he

kept rolling and turning along with the waves and
then a loud lighting struck in the water and Nqoba
felt like the earth started shaking. He could hear
loud shouts of his brothers but he couldn't respond
as the water swallowed him up, he did not care
about the water swallowing him up because his
main aim was to get Anesu.

The waves started to cool down and he was floating

at the top, his eyes searched for Anesu. He starts
slashing and swimming to the direction where he
saw Anesu floating with her eyes closed. No harm
happened to her, perhaps.

Nqoba groans and he grabs her as he swam to

shore, he walks out the beach while coughing with
Anesu in his arms. He finally was away from the
water and he laid Anesu down on the sand, he laid
next to her while coughing uncontrollably.

Ntethe: Anesu...

She went to Anesu and Vezo went to check on his

brother.
Vezo: are you okay?

Nqoba: is she okay?

He sat up straight and went to her side, Anesu still

had her eyes closed.

Ntethe: I can't tell

She starts performing CPR but nothing happened,

Vezo just lift Anesu from the ground and carried her
to Nqoba's car. They decided to drive Anesu to the
hospital and they called Themba telling him they
are bringing someone who is critical.

They arrived at the hospital and Themba took Anesu

in, he started checking up on her and he walks out
shaking his head.
Nqoba: why are you asking your head?

Themba: because I have never seen something like

this in my entire life

Vezo: what do you mean?

Themba: you said she drowned at the beach right?

Nathi: yes

Themba: and you performed CPR but she did not

spit out any water showing that she drowned?

Nqoba: Themba what is your point here?

Themba: I was examining her and there are no signs
that show that she drowned, her heart bit is stable
and she perfect and mostly likely the healthier
human being I have ever seen

Nqoba's jaw dropped.

Nathi: how is that possible?

Themba: I'm also trying to figure that out and it

seems like she is fast asleep

Nqoba: can I see her?

Themba: sure

Vezo: and Nqoba you also drowned in that water

are you sure you are okay?
Nqoba: I'm fine

He says walking inside the private ward Anesu was

placed in, she looked really beautiful honestly. He
went to her side and he held her hand, he smirks.

Nqoba: you really almost got me killed

...

ANESU MTSHALI.

Have you ever been to heaven? I think I have been

to heaven because as we speak I am seated in this
beautiful garden which has beautiful fresh flowers
which smelled nice. I don't know if it's safe to say I
was dreaming but I can't feel my body, it's like I
have been transported to another dimension.
I sat there rocking back and forth, I want to explore
thus place. I got up fromwere I was sitting and I
walked not even knowing where I was heading, I
saw a very huge house which looked like it was
made out of gold. The sun came out of nowhere
and starts shining, I covered my eyes as the light
strikes at my eyes making a little bit blind.

A shadow of someone standing in from of me made

me open my eyes, it was an old woman wearing
white clothes.

"what are you doing here?" she whispers with a

worried look on her face

Anesu: what do you mean?

"you are not supposed to be here."

Anesu: who are you?

"shhhh! lower your time you can't be here you need

to go back."

Anesu: Go back where?

"the land of the living and you need to remember

who you are..."

Anesu: who am I?

The old lady pushed me on the shoulders and I fell

by my back with one leg up in the air, I felt like my
soul was leaving my body as I fell down
continuously as if I was falling from a very high
building. My body starts feel a little bit heavier as I
started hearing voices and names, images flashing
in my head as if I'm remembering somethings.

Then I screamed as I saw that I was approaching the

bottom and suddenly my body shook as if I was
getting a fright.

I opened my eyes and I was breathing heavily.

Anesu: Mwandle...

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 11
NARRATIVE.
The machines couldn't stop beeping as Anesu tried
to catch her breath as if she was partaking in a
marathon, She sat up straight as everything started
to dissolve in her head and She smiled weakly. The
ward door opens and Themba walks in, he gave
Anesu a smile and Anesu just laid back staring at the
ceiling.

Themba: it's good that you finally woke, you had

Nqoba worried there for a moment which is weird
because he never worries like this...

he shook his head realising that he was talking out

loud instead of thinking about it in his head,
Themba started checking on Anesu and her BP was
very high.

Anesu: Nqoba...where is he?

Themba: he is working why?

Anesu: please call him for me

Themba: I will do that for you once I'm done here

Anesu: there is no need to continue I'm doing just

fine. please call him

Themba: okay but we need to make sure that your

blood level isn't this high

Anesu: please call Nqoba I need to tell him

something before I forget it, I really need to talk to
Nqoba please get Nqoba here

She starts breathing uncontrollably as she was

rushing her words, she was panicking at the thought
that maybe...perhaps she might forget everything
all over again and she would hate for that to
happen.

Themba saw how her heart beat was pumping

really fast on the hospital machine so he decided to
step out, he took out his phone and he called
Nqoba who answered almost immiedielty.

Nqoba: Themba tell me she is okay

Themba: she is awake and she is panicking, she says

she wants to see you

Nqoba: I'm on my way

Themba: make it fast she is starting to freak me out

Nqoba hung up and Themba walks back into the

private ward only to find Anesu taking off the drip
from her arm only for her to cry as she started to
bleed.

Themba: what are you doing?

he drops everything and quickly rushed to her, he

applies pressure to her arm trying to stop her
bleeding. He pressed the emergency button and
Nurses walk in, they help him stop the bleeding and
Anesu wore a bandage.

Themba: what were you thinking? you would have

hurt yourself really bad

Anesu: I wanted to use the bathroom and I did not

know how to get up with this thing in my arm

Themba shook her head and the private ward door

opens, Nqoba walks in with a shopping bag from
Nike and he raised am eye brow seeing the blood
which was on the floor.

Nqoba: and then?

Themba: ask her, I will bring someone in to clean

this up

Nqoba nods and Themba left, Nqoba shifts his eyes

to Anesu once the door was closed.

Nqoba: what happened to your arm?

Anesu: I tool off the drip

Nqoba: you did what? are you insane?

Anesu pouts and breathes out.

Anesu: I wanted to use the bathroom and I did not
know how I would do my business with this thing
inside my arm

Nqoba placed the shopping bag on the bed and he

sat next to her, he laughs and Anesu jumps a little
as the bed they were seated on vibrated due to
Nqoba's laugh which was almost like a roar.

Anesu: what is funny?

Nqoba: what you just said is funny

Anesu: no it's not you are just stupid

She folds her arms and Nqoba looks at her dead in

the eyes.
Anesu: I'm just joking

she giggles and gave Nqoba a tight hug around his

waist, he hugs her back and plants a kiss on her
forehead.

Anesu: what was that for?

she saying pulling out from the hug looking straight

into his eyes and he just cleared his throat standing
up.

Nqoba: I bought you some clothes and you need to

get dressed so we can leave

Anesu: I need to tell you something first

Nqoba: okay?
Anesu: while I was deep in my sleep...

Nqoba: you mean sleep walking right?

Anesu gave him a dead stare.

Anesu: don't make fun of my situation

Nqoba raised his hands in the air surrendering.

Nqoba: sorry continue

Anesu: I happened to remember everything

Nqoba: you did?

Anesu: yes I did even though some of the things are
still blurry but I remembered my sisyers name

Nqoba: okay so...

Anesu: can you please help me find my family

Silence.

Anesu: Nqoba say something

Nqoba: I will help you find your family just give me

the name of your sister

Anesu: Mwandle Thingokazi Msweli

Nqoba: why doesn't she have your surname?

Anesu: because we don't have the same father's,
she took her father's surname and I took my
mother's

Nqoba: why did you take your mother's surname

and not your father's?

Anesu: because i don't know who he is and I don't

even want to know

Nqoba: oh okay I hear you, I will see what I can do

Anesu: thank you so much...

she said getting of from the bed and attempts to

give Nqoba a hug but he stops her, she frowns
looking up into his eyes since he is taller then her.

Nqoba: can I teach you another hug?

Anesu: there is another hug? ohh okay let's do it

Nqoba: so you will place your arms here...

he took each of her arm and placed them on his

shoulder and she stood on her toes not breaking
the eyes contact, she wraps her arms even tighter
around his neck.

Nqoba: and I will hug you from here

He says placing his hands on both sides of her waist,

he slowly pulls her closer to his body and their eyes
locked. Anesu just looked into his eyes as her
breathing started to charge as she also felt his low
breathing because his face was not that far from
hers, he wraps his arms around her waist leaning his
face closer to his shoulder and he buries his head on
her neck and While they shared that hug Anesu
closed her eyes enjoying the position they were in.

While at it the private ward door opens and the

Dube brothers walks in, Ntethe was also present
and she was the first one to scream when she saw
Anesu.

The two pulled out from the hug and Anesu smiled
looking at her friend who had a confused look on
her face. Vezo just gave Nqoba the look and Nqoba
used hand to tell him to call down.

Ntethe: and then you two?

Anesu: he was teaching me this other way of

hugging anyways I'm so happy to see you

Ntethe: another way...

She claps her hand not finishing her sentence and
she laughs.

Ntethe: okay I don't even want to know about it,

I'm also happy to see you nami let me teach you
another way of hugging

She pulls Anesu for a hug and she squeezed her

really tight and then pulled out.

Anesu: you enjoy squeezing me huh?

Ntethe: you call that squeezing? that's my way of

hugging

Anesu just laughs a little.

Anesu: sanibona boBhuti

Fiso: sisi omncane (little sister)

He gave her a side hug and Anesu got a hug from all
the brothers.

Vezo: you got us scared there for a moment.

Anesu: well I'm sorry but thank you for saving me

Nathi: ohh no we did nothing Nqoba was the one

who rescued you

Anesu looks at Nqoba and she smiles.

Nathi: you should have seen him as the wave

swallowed him, nigga was...
He saw how Nqoba was looking at him so her
stopped and cleared his throat, scratching his head
looking for something else to talk about he decided
to give Anesu the flowers they all bought for Anesu.

Nathi: these are for you

Anesu: you bought me flowers?

she covers her mouth and then took the flowers,

she giggles waving them around.

Anesu: thank you guys *smiles*

Nathi: what happened to your arm?

Anesu: I was trying to take off the drip

Nathi: uyahlanya wena (you are crazy)

Anesu: ushuthi your crazyness is contagious

They all burts into laughter and Nathi stood there

with an annoyed look on his face.

Nathi: okay you will find me in the car

he say walking out and Anesu laughed even louder

calling Nathi's name.

Anesu: Nathi Ngiyaxolisa

she shouts.

Vezo: relax he is not mad

He followed Nathi and Fiso left with Ntethe, Nqoba
went to sign the discharge papers while Anesu got
dressed into the new Nike tracksuit Nqoba bought
for her on his way here.

She sat on the bed waiting for Nqoba who walked in

then she got off the bed.

Nqoba: are you ready?

Anesu: you know you shouldn't have wasted your

money to buy me brand you clothes, you should
have took the ones at home

Nqoba: then I wouldn't have gotten here on time

Anesu: okay if you say so but next time

Nqoba: you are going to sleep walk to the beach
again?

Anesu stops for a second and she laughs, Nqoba

chuckles as they walked out of the hospital. When
they arrived outside Nqoba opened the door for
Anesu and she got inside. Nqoba jogs to his side and
he starts the car, he looks at Anesu.

Nqoba: we can pass by the drive through and get

you something to eat

Anesu: I'm not hungry

He looks at Anesu.

Nqoba: we will buy you something to eat anyways

Anesu: I can eat when I get home

Nqoba: stop starving yourself I don't like it

Anesu: I'm not...

she breaths and she nods realising that arguing with

Nqoba was pointless since he will have things done
his way anyways.

Anesu: okay I will eat

Nqoba: good

They passed by McDonald's drive through and he

told her to order anything she wants, Once they
received their food he drove home. He chuckled
when Anesu starts eating her food after she said
she would eat at home.
Nqoba: I thought you weren't hungry

Anesu: focus on the road dude

Nqoba laughs a little and continued to drive.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 12
NARRATIVE.

They arrived at the house and Anesu went straight

o bed since she was feeling exhausted, Nqoba went
to take a few files from the study and he was about
to leave but he decided to go notify Anesu so she
does not freak out.
He knocks on the door and she responds, He walks
in and Anesu turned rubbing her eyes. She was
trying to sleep but couldn't, She smiles looking at
Nqoba.

Anesu: do you need anything?

Nqoba: I'm going to do some work and I will return

really late

Anesu: it's okay I just need to sleep

Nqoba: are you sure you are going to be okay?

Anesu: I promise, no more sleep walking...

Nqoba smirks and he got up from the bed.

Anesu: can I have one of the t-shirts you have
already worn

Nqoba: why do you want to do with them?

Anesu: I want to sleep proparly

Nqoba: what does my shirt have to do with you

sleeping proparly?

Anesu: can I have the t-shirt or not?

Nqoba: why are you being pushy?

Anesu: I'm not I just...

Nqoba: don't answer me with attitude

Anesu sighs.

Anesu: you know what? leave it I no longer want

the shirt

Nqoba: uyaduba?

Anesu: cha...

Nqoba: manje phona? (so what are you doing?)

Anesu: nothing...you can leave Nqoba

Nqoba laughs a little shaking his head and he went

to his room, he took out his while t-shirt with the
polo logo on the top left and he went back to
Anesu's room.
Nqoba: here you go, ungadubi next time

He hands her the t-shirt and She smiles.

Anesu: thank you

Nqoba: ungangiloyi ke (don't use witch craft on me)

he shouts walking out.

Anesu: kwathiwa ngiyaloya yini? (did they tell you

I'm a witch?)

She rolls her eyes and got off the bed, she got
undressed and was left with only her underwear.
She wore the white t-shirt and She went
undercover, Sooner she dozed off.
She was woken up by someone shaking her, she
turned and she groans as she got annoyed. The
person shook her one more time and she got up.

Anesu: I'm awake ke...

Nkanyezi: where is Nqoba and why are you wearing

his t-shirt?

Anesu: kanti wuwe (ohh it's you) I don't have time

for this

She laid back down and cuddled the blanket trying

to go back to sleep, Nkanyezi shook her again.

Nkanyezi: bitch I asked you a question, Where is

Nqoba?
Anesu: lowo bitch uzokuphendula (that bitch will
answer you)

She drifts back to sleep and Nkanyezi saw that it

was pointless asking Anesu questions so she left her
room, she took out her phone and called Nqoba but
he did not answer. She decided to make herself
comfortable not liking the fact that she is staying in
the same roof with Anesu.

...

Nqoba was in the warehouse with his brothers

discussing business, they were talking about the
mission being a huge success now the only thing
they have to do is sell half of the gold and daimonds
for cash and keep the rest safe but the only
problems that they won't be able to shop anything
out of the country or anywhere else since the news
of the robbery is all over the place.
Making a move at this moment is more like them
handing themselves in to the police so they will
keep everything quite and continue with the other
businesses they be doing.

Fiso: so what are we going to do about Christmas

this year?

Nqoba: father died we should come over and spend

the holidays there

Nathi: I won't be able to spend a single man around

that man I will loose my sense of humor

Vezo: and I already have plans for the upcoming

holidays
Nqoba: Nzwakele strictly said that we should all
come over

Fiso: and by that you mean Anesu will also come

along?

Nqoba: of course why not?

Nathi: mom is going to love her

Vezo: she's going to trap that girl and she won't

want her to leave which leaves me wondering...if
Anesu will come along with us what about
Nkanyezi?

Nqoba: what about her?

Vezo raised his eyebrow.

Vezo: will she come along?

Nqoba: she will be at her parents house and

preparing for our wedding

Fiso: you are really going to marry her

Nqoba: why are you guys asking me so much stupid

questions?

Nathi: because we are worried about you

Nqoba: no need to worry because I love Nkanyezi,

she is my other half...

Nathi laughs out loud and Fiso cracks a little bit then
stops.
Nqoba: that is not funny

Nathi: trust me it is, are you in it for the sex or

what?

Nqoba checked his wrist watch and he got up from

his seat, he strached himself and he took one gulp
of his whiskey.

Nqoba: it is late and I need to get back home

Vezo: yeah go ahead and run

Nqoba laughs walking out, he arrived outside and

he unlocks his car. He got inside his car and he
drove back home, he parks his car outside and he
locks his car once he walked out.
He slowly walked to the house while sliding his car
keys into his left pocket and when he got inside the
house he was welcomed by an appetizing smell. He
raised his eyebrow confused because Anesu cannot
cook, he should be dreaming if it was Anesu.

he took off his blazer and walked to the kitchen on

my to find Nkanyezi finishing up with the pots, His
jaw dropped and he looks at Nkanyezi who raised
her head intently then rolled her eyes.

Nqoba: baby...

He walks closer to her and he stood behind her but

she pushed him away, she wipes her hands and
Nqoba clears his throat.

Nqoba: and then?

Nknayezi: I have been calling you for hours Nqoba
since when you no longer answer my calls?

Nqoba: you called?

he took out his phone and he saw the missed called

on his phone.

Nkanyezi: you didn't even notice but I bet when you

receive a call of Anesu crying or anything that
concerns Anesu you would go running

Nqoba frowns knowing where this convisation was

going.

Nqoba: don't start with your drama

Nkanyezi: drama? call this drama

she took out her phone and showed Nqoba a
picture of him walking out of the hospital with
Anesu who was all smiley faces.

Nkanyezi: people are asking questions, they are

asking me questions and it's not nice

Nqoba: baby just ignore them, why do you keep

paying attention to people who won't help you with
anything

Nkanyezi: okay I will stop but do you care to explain

why she is wearing your t-shirt?

Nqoba: it's just a t-shirt

Nkanyezi's jaw dropped.

Nkanyezi: it's just a tshirt? just a t-shirt? are you in
your correct senses?

Nqoba: you want the t-shirt? okay I will buy you one
and thousands more

Nkanyezi: the point about all this is that the t-shirt

belongs to you and she was wearing it

Nqoba sighs deeply and he placed his hands on

Nkanyezi's waist looking into her eyes, she rolls her
eyes.

Nqoba: baby it's been a long day and I'm frustrated

about a thousand things don't make situations even
worse

Nkanyezi: I don't like this thing you keep doing

Nqoba packs her on the lips and grabs her ass.

Nqoba: I love only you remember that

Nkanyezi: I need to take a shower so we can eat

she pushed him away and she makes her way

downstairs, Nqoba took out his phone and he dailed
Vezokuhle's number.

he answers.

Vezo: Nqoba?

Nqoba: you remember what we talked about

privately?

Vezo: yeah about Anesu's family

Nqoba: when you find them I should be the first
person who knows

Vezo: okay...why though?

Nqoba: can you just do that for me?

Vezo: sure

Nqoba: good...

He hung up and when he raised his head Anesu was

Making her way downstairs wearing her white night
dress which was also complementing those white
patches on her skin. Her corn rows making her skin
to pop out, she looked really beautiful as she
walked busy on her phone.
Nqoba noticed he was staring to much so he shook
his head and made his way upstairs, he bumps into
Anesu who just gave him a smile.

Anesu: you are back

Nqoba: yes I am

Anesu: Nkanyezi almost lost it when she was here

looking for you

Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: I know she can be dramatic

Anesu: I understand she just loves you anyways

thank you for fixing my phone
Nqoba nods and he heads upstairs, he found
Nkanyezi getting dressed into her pyjamas. He
walked to her while biting on his lower lip and he
smacked her on the ass, she held her butt and
brushed it.

Nqoba: those pants look tight and good on you

Nkanyezi: thank you...*giggles*

Nqoba: but before you leave...

he bites his lower lip and he slides his hand inside

her pants, she moans and he groans with a smirk on
his face.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba...ahh
he slides a finger inside her and she bites her lower
lip, she gave him a kiss and he lifts her one leg up
placing it on his hip with his finger diping deep
inside her.

She quickly pulled out and moved away from him.

Nkanyezi: I just took a shower and I can't plus I just

waxed

Nqoba: manje? (so?)

Nkanyezi: not tonight Nqoba

She kissed him on the cheek and she walks out, his
jaw dropped as he looked at his hard cock and he
shook his head then cursed.

Nqoba: fuck!
he undressed and he took a cold shower, it took
him a few minutes for that erection to disappear.
The bigga was sexually frustrated and he did not
know what to do, once he was calm he steps out of
the bathroom.

he wore his pair of shorts and his white vest, he

went downstairs and found Anesu seated with
Nkanyezi. You could not miss the ocward silence
between the two, Nqoba sat down and Nkanyezi
sorted out his plate and gave it to him.

He starts eating and the only thing you could hear

was the Utensils meeting with the plate, the silence
seemed a little bit better then having Nkanyezi
being dramatic...Nqoba thought.

Once they finished eating Nkanyezi did the dishes

and Anesu offered to help but she declined, Nqoba
went to his study and Anesu went to take her jacket
from her room. She went to the pool side and she
sat down there staring at the sky, she sat there for
hours and she thought about the state of her
mother must have been all these years, not to
mention her little sister.

Nqoba cleared his throat while leaning on the side

wall of the sliding door, his muscles were all out and
without exaggerating anything. Nqoba looks damn
handsome when he is serious, he looks moved away
from the door and went to join Anesu.

Nqoba: why are you still up at this hour?

Anesu: I couldn't sleep since I had a lot on my mind

Nqoba: if you don't mind me asking what's on your

mind?
Anesu: my family is on my mind, I really can't stop
thinking about the way I disappeared from their
lives and the look my little sister had on her face
when I was taken by the river...

Nqoba: you were taken by the river?

Anesu nods.

Nqoba: how old were you when you were taken by

the river?

Anesu: I think...if I remember properly I was ten

years old?

Nqoba: did they ever find you?

Anesu though about what she would say next, she
was not sure if she was ready to tell Nqoba that she
drowned and stayed in the water were she was
being protected for years and later came out
twenty years later.

Anesu: I can't remember

She lied and cleared her throat.

Nqoba: okay

Anesu: you know my mother used to tell me stories

about the day I was born, I always found comfort in
that story everytime she told me this story and I
don't know if she was lying just to make me feel
better when I wasn't feeling okay but...I really miss
my mother
Nqoba: mind sharing the story?

Anesu: you promise you won't make fun of my

story?

Nqoba: I promise...

Anesu: okay so...

Nqoba: maybe

Anesu gave her a dead stare and she chuckles.

Anesu: my mother said the day I was born it rained

for the whole week...

Nqoba: now you are lying

Anesu: you see it's pointless talking to you, you
never listen without having something to add

She laughs and Nqoba got lost looking at how pretty

she is when laughing, she stops laughing and she
looks at Nqoba.

Anesu: what?

Nqoba placed his hand on her cheek cupping one of

her cheeks, she brushed her cheek on the his warm
hand and she closed her eyes.

She giggles.

Anesu: you are warm and I'm cold, we should go

inside before I make the both of us catch a cold
She tried to get up but Nqoba pulled her back to sit
down and she sat down with her one leg on top of
his thighs. He slowly brought his face closer to hers
and she looked into his eyes not knowing if she
should look into his eyes, she was lost at to why he
was being this close.

She could smell the alcohol on his lips and he slowly

brushed his lips on her...she froze for a second then
moved away.

Anesu: what are you doing?

silence.

Anesu: you shouldn't be...we shouldn't...

She found herself struggling with her words, she
quickly stood up and rushed inside, Nqoba cursed
out loud.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 13
ANESU MTSHALI.

[THE FOLLOWING DAY]

In the morning I woke up feeling really good then I

usually felt those past days when I would wake up
after tossing and turning all night, the nightmares
are still there but I am trying my level best to cope
with whatever that's being thrown at me.
firstly I made the bed and I went to take a hot
shower, I stubbed my body till I felt clean, I wrap a
towel around my body and went to the main room.

I'm trying my level best to not think about what

almost happened last night between Nqoba and I, I
don't even know what was on his mind when he
was tempting to kiss me. Firstly I don't even know
how to kiss and secondly he is engaged, we were in
the same roof with his fiance and he seemed to not
have a problem with that which is a huge
disappointment to me.

While I was getting dressed I received a call from

Ntethe, I answered the phone and placed it on loud
speaker.

Ntethe: good morning Anesu

Anesu: good morning Ntethe

I chuckled since are on the fist name bases now,
which is funny because she usually addresses me as
'baby'

Ntethe: you are up right?

Anesu: how would I have answered if I wasn't

awake?

Ntethe: stupid question okay can we do lunch this

afternoon, I feel like I don't know you that much
and I think we can do that over lunch

Anesu: that feels like a great idea

Ntethe: I will pick you up then

Anesu: okay before you drop the call, how are you?

Ntethe giggles.

Ntethe: I'm fine and you?

Anesu: I feel okay but also at the same time I feel

incomplete, I cannot stop thinking about my family
and it hurts

Ntethe: you should stop worrying yourself, Nqoba

will find your family and he will notify you when he
finds them

Anesu: I hope he finds them because it's been a

long time and there's a lot to ask

Ntethe: we will find them

Anesu: okay let me continue with what I was doing,
I will see you soon

Ntethe: bye

Ntethe hung up and I placed my phone on the side

of the table, I got dressed and I wore a purple dress
which was tight from breast till my waist then loose
at the button. It wasn't short nor long, I wore a pair
of white sandals.

I went downstairs and the kitchen was empty, I

don't even know how to make food not even a
simplest meal.

Nkanyezi walks in wearing a very short black dress

with a pair of adidas three line, she gave me a smile.
Nkanyezi: morning

Anesu: morning Nkanyezi

Nkanyezi: why haven't you made breakfast yet?

Anesu: because I don't know how to cook

I shrug and she burst into laughter.

Nkanyezi: you do not know how to cook?

Anesu: yes I don't

Nkanyezi: how come you are living under the same

roof with a man who loves eating and you cannot
cook?
Anesu: because I just don't know how to cook plus
Nqoba knows how to cook so i don't think its a
problem and him enjoying eating food is none of my
concern because I'm not his wife or maid so yeah...

Nkanyezi smirks.

Nkanyezi: keep up that attitude and as long as you

play far away from my man we might be friends

I have enough friends but I cannot say that since I

will be addressed as a mean person and I'm not
mean.

I just smiled.

Nkanyezi started making breakfast.

Anesu: do you mind me helping?

Nkanyezi: no thank you I can manage

Anesu: okay

I sat there watching her cook and God this is a lot, I

don't think I will be able to learn how to cook.

Nkanyezi: so where are you from Anesu?

Anesu: I'm from a village which is very far from here

and I don't think you know it

Nkanyezi: you don't think I known it because I'm

this type of person who was born with a silver
spoon in her mouth
Anesu: weren't you born with a silver spoon in your
mouth?

I squirt my eyes a little and looked her, she

chuckles.

Nkanyezi: I was but...

Anesu: no further statements that alone is enough

to tell me that you won't know the village I'm
talking about

Nkanyezi: okay, how did you end up here?

I cleared my throat.

Anesu: why are you trying to make me your friend

all of assuden?
Nkanyezi: I was not trying to make you my friend,
you are not even qualified to even be my friend

Anesu: okay stop talking to me then

I got busy on my phone and the room filled with

silence, trust me I'm not a rude person it just that
from the begin Nkanyezi never liked me and then all
of assuden she is asking me questions about
myself? isn't that a little bit wierd coming from a
person who called you a 'bitch' I'm not rude, she is
the one who lack manners.

While my eyes were glued on the screen of my

phone, Nqoba walks in the kitchen and I closed my
eyes as his intoxicating manly cologne struck my
nostrils.
I opened my eyes and he was standing behind
Nkanyezi, he plants a kiss on her cheek and she
smiles.

Nqoba: Anesu...

Anesu: Nqoba...

I looked into his eyes and he was looking at me with

his chin on Nkanyezi's shoulder, the way he looked
at me kind of said something but what?

Nqoba: you good?

Anesu: I'm perfectly fine and yourself?

Nqoba: same...
he breaks the eye contact and he looks at Nkanyezi.

Nqoba: baby thank you for making breakfast and it

looks beautiful but I'm sorry that I can't have all of
this

Nkanyezi: awww baby I made all of this for you

Nqoba: I know baby but I need to get going

Nkanyezi: okay let me pack something for you at

least

Nqoba: okay make it quick I'm in a rush

Nkanyezi packs him on the lips and she went to look

for a lunch box, once Nkanyezi was out of sight
Nqoba shifts his attention back to me.
Nqoba: about last night...

Anesu: what about last night?

He clenched his jaw line.

Nqoba: let me finish

Anesu: there's nothing to finish here Nqoba, that

woman who just walked out loves you and you
need to register that into your head...stop trying to
mess things up for yourself

Nqoba: I was going to say it was a mistake and it will

never happen again

Anesu: it better not

Nkanyezi walks in and she looks at me, I looked
away and she cleared her throat.

Nkanyezi: what are you two whispering about?

I decided to stand up and leave, I'm never going to

get used to how these two fight. They are filled with
lot of toxicness and I don't think I will ever survive
such, I would literally cry when Nqoba raises his
voice at me.

I isolated myself in my room till I received a text

from Ntethe telling me she was on her way, I
quickly got up from my bed along with my phone.

I walked out my room and the house was empty, I

guess Nkanyezi left. I went to the fridge and I took
an apple, I ate it while waiting for Ntethe.
She drove in with her car and she knocks the door, I
dump the finished apple on the bin and I went to
get the door.

Ntethe: baby

i giggled.

Anesu: hey Ntethe

Ntethe: that dress looks good on you

Anesu: thank you

Ntethe: you ready?

Anesu: yeah let's get going

I exit the house and we got inside the car, Ntethe
drove us to this beautiful restaurant which was by
the beach with and they chose a table which was
outside.

Ntethe: this looks beautiful

Anesu: and peaceful

they sat down.

Ntethe: you don't have problem that I took you

here...I mean it won't trigger anything from that
other day?

Anesu: yeah I don't have a problem thank you for

considering my feelings
I giggled and Ntethe smiles.

Ntethe: you know you are one wierd girl I have ever
met

Anesu: why are you saying that?

Ntethe: because there's just something that is so

unique about you

Anesu: my mother used to tell me that I'm unique

but I don't think I am, I mean look at me

I wave my hands in the air.

Ntethe: girl you are beautiful and you must

embrace your beauty, I'm not going to let you be
insecure abiut yourself when you have this banging
pretty face, banging body...girl please!
Anesu: okay thank you now that is enough, you are
going to make me blush

Ntethe: let's order some drinks for starts

Anesu: I don't know anything about all this food so

be my advisor

Ntethe: okay so they sell sea food here

Anesu: okay...

She explained eat dish on the menu and she took

her time making sure that I understand everything,
we then ordered our drunks and then the food.

Our drinks came and we drank them.

Anesu: since this is a get to know you lunch date,
why don't you start

Ntethe: okay...

She sucks her drink using a straw and she smiles

placing it aside after swallowing, table manners she
serves!

Ntethe: my full name is Nontethelelo but Ntethelelo

and Ntethe is also fine, mina ngiwuMnguni (My
surname is Mnguni)

Anesu: it's a pleasure to finally fully meet you

Ntethe laughs.
Ntethe: I grew up being raised by both my mother
and father who are married, I don't have any
siblings making me the on my child my parents have
I hope, I'm not royalty just in case you are
wondering and I'm 29 years old...what am I leaving
out?

Anesu: I don't know

I shrug and we laughed.

Ntethe: yeah I mean, I'm a calm girl and I don't like

rude people or a person who doesn't have manners
at all...I'm a lover by that I mean I love almost
everyone around me and I make sure that I spread
love wherever I am last but not least I'm Fisokuhle
Dubes girlfirend

Anesu: you wouldn't miss that one out

Ntethe: I mean it has to be know

Anesu: mxm so you are a year older then me huh?

Ntethe: I guess I am, so tell me about yourself

She smiles.

Anesu: I have two names which are Anesu Zesuliwe

Mtshali, I grew up not knowing my father and I was
only raised by a very strong woman who went
through a lot in life in order to provide for us. I also
have a little sister Thingokazi Msweli, we don't
share the same surname because I'm using my
mother's surname a d she is using her father's
surname
Ntethe: your sister must be going through a lot,
loosing a big sister must have been really hard

Anesu: yeah I guess it was, I don't even know how

she felt after that day they pushed me into the
river...

Ntethe: I have been meaning to ask, how did you

get to this town?

Anesu: I came our from there

I point at the beach and she looks at me as if I have

gone crazy.

Ntethe: you came out of the beach?

Anesu: don't miss the naked part *chuckles*

Ntethe: how is that even possible?

I shrug.

Anesu: I'm still looking for answers but I doubt

anyone has answers to my questions

Ntethe: how old were you when you drowned?

Anesu: I was eight years old

Ntethe: and you came out of the beach as a full

grown up?

Anesu: I know it sounds a little bit messed up and

confusing but yes, that is my story
Ntethe: you were living under water?

Anesu: I guess I was...

Ntethe: all these years nje wena uphila ngaphansi

kwamanzi (you are living under water)

I nod and she sighs.

Ntethe: I don't understand this whole thing I mean

are you even human?

Anesu: you can feel my skin, I have blood running

through my veins. I breath the same air as you, I eat
like you, I have same features like you and what
else?

Ntethe: there has to be an explanation for this

Anesu: some day I will get my answers

Our food arrived and we started eating while

chatting, Ntethe is such a free soul. She is the only
person I feel free around, she is also a joker.

Anesu: so I have been meaning to tell you this...I

don't know if I should

Ntethe: feel free Anesu we are friends in fact we

have been friends the first day we met

She laughs a little.

Anesu: Nqoba tried to kiss me last night...

She stops laughing and her face was written shock
all over it.

Ntethe: he tried to do what? no you are lying

Anesu: I'm telling you the truth. why would I even

lie? we were this close and I just stood up leaving
him there

Ntethe: you did what? girl you should have kissed

him

Anesu: I'm not crazy? he is engaged hello

Ntethe: so that is what's stopping you from kissing

Jim?
Anesu: nope I didn't even want to kiss him that's
the last thing in my mind, I don't even like him that
way...

Ntethe: Anesu...Nqoba tried to kiss you and you

walk away from him?

Anesu: so you suppose that I kiss him back? I don't

even know how to kiss...

Ntethe: girl which universe are you from?

Anesu: Earth

I laughed.

Anesu: why are you even encouraging Nqoba's

nonsense?
Ntethe: because you two look great together plus I
never liked Nkanyezi, none of ever liked that girl
she's so full of herself

She rolls her eyes and I laughed.

Anesu: you are so evil

Ntethe: I'm not don't call me evil for speaking the

truth

Anesu: plus it won't happen again beacsue he said it

was a mistake

Ntethe: okay if you say so but girl you need to

loosen up
Anesu: I don't need to loosen up anything

Ntethe laughs.

Ntethe: you are cute with your innocence

Anesu: I will also remain innocent

Ntethe: while Nqoba is around? forget it those

brothers are...

Anesu: can you stop thinking of me and Nqoba

being an item beacsue that will never ever happen

Ntethe: okay okay calm down

I fold my arms and she looks at me with a smile on

her face.
"excuse me ladies," a tall dark handsome guy who
looks like he was dipped inside chocolate stood in
front of us with his eyes glued on me

Anesu: hey *smiles*

Ntethe: can we help you?

"I think you can, I was seated there alone and I was
disturbed by this cute laugh i heard from behind me
but when I turned I was so memorized to see such a
beautiful woman."

Anesu: is he talking about me?

The guy smiles and I shook my head laughing a

little, these things are not for me.
"indeed I'm talking to you, ngendlela omuhle ngayo
I even started to question myself if you are from
this universe because it's my first time seeing such a
gorgeous woman," he is smiling and Ntethe looks
like she was enjoying this.

Ntethe: I need to use the toilet

She stood up leaving us.

"what's you name?"

Anesu: Anesu and you are?

"igama nguSphiwe(my name is Sphiwe)

Anesu: it's a pleasure to meet you

Sphiwe: I know we just met but I would really like to
get to know you

Anesu: I don't have the time to get to know you

Sphiwe: at least one date?

Anesu: a date? you are being forward

Sphiwe: ouch!

Anesu: sorry but I can't go on a date with you

Sphiwe: why can't you?

Anesu: I'm busy

Sphiwe: okay I think I caught you on the wrong
time, I will leave my number here and you can give
me a call when you change your mind

he took out a card which had his number and

placed it on the table.

Sphiwe: ube nosuku olufana nawe

Anesu: thank you

I smiled and he left, I breath out and Ntethe walks

back to our table.

Ntethe: how did it go?

Anesu: you a re such a bad friend, why did you

leave me with him?
Ntethe: I wanted to give you two space

Anesu: and do I look like I have experience from

these things?

Ntethe: I'm sure you handled it well

Anesu: I told him I don't have the time to get to

know him and that he was being forward for asking
me to go on a date with him

Ntethe's jaw dropped.

Ntethe: you did what?

Anesu: I don't like him what was I suppose to say?

force things? that's not me
Ntethe laughs at me.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 14
NKANYEZI NGUBANE.

He grabs my breasts as I continued to ride him while

he groaned feeling the same heat I was feeling, my
moans fill his office room and this feeling is the best
feeling out of all feelings, having him buried inside
me and calling out my name, touching me
inappropriately.

Nkanyezi: fuck...
I cursed as I reach my climax, I got off him and I
lowered my dress. He lifts up his pants and he wipes
his mouth looking at me.

He pulls me by the hand and made me stand in

between his legs.

Nqoba: you should do these kinda suprises more

often

I bite my lower lip.

Nkanyezi: I will think about it

I leaned on the table.

Nkanyezi: so what do you think about dinner

tonight? me and you?
Nqoba: I can't I need to work

Nkanyezi: but baby you promised me

Nqoba: I did but I have to break that promise, work

comes first

Nkanyezi: not me?

Nqoba: you come second sorry

I rolled my eyes and he stood up, he placed his hand

on my chin and made me look up at him, he pecks
me on the lips.

Nqoba: thank you for this

Nkanyezi: don't mention it

He sat back down.

Nqoba: how are the wedding plans going?

Nkanyezi: so far everything is going just fine but I

have been meaning to ask you about the decoration
colours

Nqoba: baby like I said you handle everything and I

will pay the bills

Nkanyezi: but it's our wedding

Nqoba: I'm a busy man plus next week I'm going to

Eastern Cape since it's nearly chrismas
Nkanyezi: you are not going to spend Christmas
with me?

Nqoba: you know that I usually spend my Christmas

with my family

Nkanyezi: allow me to come along then

Nqoba: we are not married yet, you will only set

foot in the Dube yard once you traditionally become
my wife

I pout and he laughs a little looking at me, he pulls

me closer with his hands on my ass.

Nqoba: don't you want to be my wife first?

Nkanyezi: I want to be your wife but...

Nqoba: then stop worrying we will spend our first
Christmas as a family once your are Mrs Dube

Nkanyezi: mmh I can't wait izwa nje Nkanyezi Dube

Nqoba: that sounds heart warming

I lean over for a kiss and I pulled his lower lip gently
with a smirk on my face, I let go of his lip and he
smiles.

Nkanyezi: I love you I will see you tomorrow

Nqoba: I love you too

I took my hand bag and I left, I bumped into

Vezokuhle and he just looked at me not bothering
to greet me at all. This one has moods and I know
for a fact that he doesn't like me, he doesn't have to
like me either ways angizelanga yena la.

I left the building and I drove to meet with my

mother, she flew all the way from Eastern Cape to
meet with me. She told me she arrived yesterday
and checked in a hotel, I arrived at the restaurant
and I found here already waiting for me.

She stood up when she saw me and gave me a tight

hug.

Qedani: how have you been?

Nkanyezi: happy I guess that's all I can say and you?

you are glowing

I sat down and she rolls her eyes.

Qedani: at least I'm being treated good unlike you

Nkanyezi: it's obvious you are not aware of where I

was coming from

Qedani: so you fixed things with him?

Nkanyezi: yes we did and we are communicating

good so far

Qedani: things better remain like that even though

that's not why I flew all the way from Eastern Cape

Nkanyezi: what is it?

Qedani: your father is so impatient about the date
of your wedding, he wants everything to be over
and done with

Nkanyezi: mama you can't force us to get married,

we will do everything our way

Qedani: your father is the one whose impatient but

honestly though he is right, it's been months and no
wedding

Nkanyezi: we will get married traditionally next

mouth after christmas

Qedani: and what about the white wedding?

Nkanyezi: it will happen few weeks later

Qedani: you shouldn't be wasting time we want you
seated on that throne along side with the future
king

Nkanyezi: I will make that happen mother

Qedani: are you still having problems with that girl?

Nkanyezi: she's still in our lives and I don't think

removing her will be that fast

Qedani: I will make things easy for you

She opens her beg and took out a black plastic

which was folded into a medium sized ball.

Qedani: quickly put it inside your beg

Nkanyezi: what is this mma?

Qedani: that is your weapon to fight off the threat

Nkanyezi: I don't understand

Qedani: I went to the royal seer and I talked to her,

she gave me that and told me that it will help you
with your problems

Nkanyezi: what should I do with it?

Qedani: you should take those herbs and boil them

but firstly you should find some clothing that belong
to that girl you were talking about, pour the liquid
once it has cooled down into a bottle that can be
sealed and soak the clothing inside the bottle, seal
the bottle and go dig a whole at the backyard of
your house, slaughter a black chicken and use the
red rope that is inside along with the herbs, tie the
chickens along side with the bottle and bury it

Nkanyezi: mama that is witch craft

Qedani: you want to loose the title of being the

Queen?

Nkanyezi: mama but I...

I swallow.

Nkanyezi: what if I get caught?

Qedani: you will be in your house right?

Nkanyezi: yes I will but...

Qedani: relax then

Nkanyezi: what will all this do?

Qedani: it will make Nqoba hate the girl,

everywhere she goes even when she opens her
mouth to speak he will hate her and end up kicking
her out of his house

Nkanyezi: if it doesn't work?

Qedani: it will work trust me

Nkanyezi: so you flew all this way to give me this

Qedani: I'm tired of hearing you complain about

that girl it's time we take action
Nkanyezi: I hope this works

After the small chit chat mother had to fly back to

Eastern Cape and I quickly rushed to Nqoba's house
since I know he is still at the office. I arrived and
parked my car outside, I got inside the house and
luckily the bitch was not there.

I rushed to her room and I looked for her t-shirt, I

stuffed it inside my back and I walked out as if
nothing happened.

When I arrived downstairs I found Anesu walking in

with Ntethe, they were busy laughing but then
stopped when they saw me.

Anesu: Nkanyezi what are you doing here?

Nkanyezi: this house belongs to my man and I don't
answer to you

Anesu: okay

She shrugs and she placed her shopping bags on the

counter, she's even eating my man's money. I
walked out as if nothing happened.
.
.
.
ANESU MTSHALI.

We just got back from our lunch date with Ntethe

and I won't lie I really enjoyed myself, When we
drove in we kind of noticed Nkanyezi's car parked
outside. When we got inside the house and we
found her approaching the door, she jumped as if
she was being caught doing something wrong.
Anesu: Nkanyezi what are you doing here?

Nkanyezi: this house belongs to my man and I don't

answer to you

Okay she's right but also she's bro g rude, it was just
a simple question.

Anesu: okay

I placed the shopping bags of the things Ntethe

bought for me even though I told her I was fine but
she bought them anyways. Nkanyezi walks out and
Ntethe clicks her tongue.

Ntethe: I'm not going to take anything I don't like

that girl
Anesu: you are just being dramatic, she's a good girl
it's just that she has a stinking attitude

Ntethe: good and stinking attitude don't go

together

Anesu: well whatever

I took the shopping bags to the room I'm using and

after that we chilled downstairs.

Anesu: I feel like swimming and it's not

Nkanyezi: you want to swim alone? you are doing

this intentionally because you know I don't have a
swim suit with me

Anesu: it's not intentionally darling

Nkanyezi: mxm

She rolled her eyes and I went to change into the

red swim suit she bought for me the other day, she
sat by the pool side watching me swim like a pro
while she talked.

It's more like she was talking alone because once I

was inside the water everything just came to a stop,
I'm talking my thoughts and everything else that
comes to a stop whenever you do something that
makes you feel relaxed.

I dip my head under the water for a few minutes

and when I got out Ntethe was busy on my phone,
she had a card in her hand.

Anesu: Ntethe what are you doing?

Ntethe: taking things into my own hands

Anesu: don't tell me you just texted Sphiwe without

talking to me about it

Ntethe: I'm sorry I had to do it

Anesu: Ntethe...

I gnashed my teeth as I got out of the pool, I want

her the phone from her and she already talked
about going out tomorrow, my eyes poped out.

Anesu: Ntethe how could you...

Ntethe's phone rang and she raised her finger mean

I should stop talking while she answers the call.
Ntethe: baby...okay I'm on my way

She hung up and she got up from her seat.

Ntethe: my man needs me I have to go

Anesu: Ntethe you need to call Sphiwe and tell him

you were the one texting not me

Ntethe: girl the guy is good looking and you need to

start exploring okay? I will see you tomorrow before
you leave for your date

Anesu: I really hate you for this

I took a towel drying my body while following her.
She turned and she opened her arms pulling me
into a hug.

She squeezed me so tight I almost died.

Ntethe: I love you too, good bye

She opens the door and she bumps into Nqoba.

Ntethe: sawbona bhuti...

Nqoba: yebo

My phone rang and it was Sphiwe, Ntethe is so evil

she saved Sphiwe number and placed a heart next
to his name...haibo!
Nqoba: are you not going to answer that?

Anesu: nope

I dropped the call and shook my head, Nqoba looks

at me with his left eyebrow up and his eyes drop
down to my breast and my thighs.

My phone rang once more and I decline the call.

Nqoba: who are you avoiding?

Anesu: why do you care?

Nqoba: who said I cared?

Anesu: people ask about the things they mostly care

about so I just assumed
Nqoba: your assumption is wrong...

Anesu: ohh?

He bites his lower lip and he steps closer, I stepped

back till my back met with the counter. I felt really
stuck as he stood in front of me with his hands
inside his pocket, I swallowed.

Nqoba: you are not dressed

Anesu: Nqoba what are you doing?

Nqoba: I'm standing

Anesu: why do you have to stand this close?

Nqoba: ngoba ngiyathanda (because I want to)

Anesu: well I don't like it, move away from me now

Nqoba: angifuni...

this one is testing me, he looked at me as his eyes

started to become very small.

My phone rang and answering this phone is the

only thing that will get me out of this situation.

Anesu: Sphiwe?

Sphiwe: I have been trying to call you

Anesu: sorry I was occupied with something but I'm

free now
I smiled looking into Nqoba's eyes.

Nqoba: who is Sphiwe?

Anesu: move away from me

Nqoba: ubani uSphiwe Anesu?

I placed my hand on his chest and I pushed him, i

took my towel and I walked upstairs while I felt his
eyes on my skin. Why is he being like this anyways?

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 15
NARRATIVE.
After taking a steaming bubble bathtub and shaving
her legs, Nkanyezi wore one of her favourite thongs
and wore a pink tight short dress. She wore
matching pink blocked heels and she sat down
combing her wig, she did her make up and she
looked like a doll which has been painted with make
up, she look pretty yes but the make up was not
bearable.

She didn't bother to eat her breakfast, she was so

eager to see her mother's herbs working on Anesu,
she was so eager to see her being kicked out of the
house as if she's nothing. She has been patient with
Nqoba and his nonsense, it's about time she does
something about it.

She drove to Nqoba's house and the security opens

for her, she drove inside and parked her car right
outside the door step.
She stops the car and she got out of the car playing
with her car keys while mumbling a little song, she
got inside the house and she giggles her eyes
searching around.

Nkanyezi: baby...

She shouts and the kitchen was empty, she made

her way upstairs and she went to peak in Anesu's
room, she was fast asleep like a cute little baby in
its bed.

She rolls her eyes and she went to Nqoba's room,

she didn't knock but decided to barge in. He was
lotioning his body with his towel wrapped around
the lower party of his body, his beautiful body being
perfectly exposed to her eyes.
He raised his eyebrow confused to see her this
early.

Nkanyezi: baby hey...

She walks closer.

Nqoba: hey, what are you doing in my house this

early?

Nkanyezi: I'm no longer allowed to come visit you

Nqoba: it's six in the morning and it's really early to

have you in my house, I haven't even dressed up
worst part of all you are melting my eyes with all
that bright pink

Nkanyezi took a quick look at her outfit and she

frowns, Nqoba is not a fan of bright colours.
Nkanyezi: I just missed you and I was wondering if
we could make plans for today, maybe we could do
lunch?

Nqoba: I have a very tight schedule at the office

today

Nkanyezi: won't you be able to squeeze me in?

She bites her lower lip.

Nqoba: as you can see I'm already in a hurry for

work

Nkanyezi: Baby come on, I have been...

She wraps her one arm around his neck and she
leans over for a kiss, Nqoba returns the kiss and
held her by the waist pulling her closer.

Nkanyezi released a moan and she took her one

hand, she held Nqoba's manhood and he groans as
he got hard, he grabs her ass lifting her dress up a
little bit.

She pulls out from the kiss and looks into his eyes,
his eyes were now red and he was already hard. She
pulls him by the towel till she reached the wall, she
unwraps his towel and it drops down on the floor.
He lifts up her one leg and he slowly positioned
himself to enter inside her after sliding her panty to
the side.

He slowly entered inside her and she moans, the

door knob turns and the door opens, Anesu walls in
and Nqoba shifts his attention to the person
entering the door.

Anesu's eyes stared at Nqoba's butt cheeks which

were exposed, she covered her mouth.

Nkanyezi: can't you knock? is she unable to knock

She shouts and Nqoba pulls out, he picks up the

towel and he faced Anesu as he wraps the towel
around his waist.

Nqoba: can I help you?

Anesu swallows as she could still see his buldge.

Anesu: uhmm...
She was still trying to gather the right words, she
already forgot what she came here to say.

Nqoba: Anesu!

Nkanyezi: firstly she barges in without knocking and

she doesn't talk, it's obvious she did this
internationally

Nqoba: baby relax, Anesu what are you doing here?

"Nqoba make it quick man, kanti what is taking you

this long?" Fiso shouts from downstairs and Anesu
snaps out of her own thoughts.

Anesu: oh yeah yeah your brother is calling you

Nkanyezi rolled her eyes.

Nqoba: thank you

Anesu walks out with her traumatized self, Nqoba

turned to face Nkanyezi who looked really
frustrated.

Nqoba slowly walked go Nkanyezi, he kissed her on

the forehead and she smiles.

Nqoba: I'm not done with you yet

Nkanyezi: but I want you

Nqoba: duty calls

Nkanyezi pouts and Nqoba started to get dressed,
Once he was done dressing and he went downstairs
with Nkanyezi holding his hand.

They arrived downstairs and when they walked

inside the room, Anesu jumped a little when Ntethe
touched her on the shoulder since she was zoning
out and she mistakenly pushed the vase off the
table and it shattered on the floor.

Everyone turns their attention to Anesu and Nqoba

loosens his grib from Nkanyezi's hand, he got
pissed.

Nqoba: dammit are you stupid? do you know how

much that costs?

Anesu: I'm...
Ntethe: don't apologise Anesu, why are you calling
her stupid because you know very well she did not
do it on purpose

Nqoba: shut up Ntethe I'[Link] even talking to you,

Anesu you should clean that up how can you be this
careless

Anesu: I'm...

Nkanyezi giggles.

Nkanyezi: she should pay for it, that is my man's

hard earned money and you can't just get away
with this

Nqoba clicks his tongue.

Fiso: okay hold up let's calm down for a moment,
Nqoba it was a mistake and Anesu didn't mean to
break the vase calling her stupid is way out line

Nqoba: wena ungenaphi ke la (where do you enter

in all this?) did you break the vase?

Fiso: nope but don't talk to my woman in that

manner

Ntethe: baby I can handle him trust me

Nqoba looks at Anesu and he snaps at her.

Nqoba: what are you standing there for? clean this

up!
he roars and Anesu jumps a little, She was about to
pick up the broken pieces but Ntethe grabbed her
hand.

Ntethe: let's go you are not doing any of that, he

can't talk to you like you are nothing... masambe
(let's go)

She took her hand and they went upstairs, Nqoba

grabs Anesu's arm.

Nqoba: I told you to clean the mess

Fiso: Nqoba stop being a dick!

Nqoba: what did you just call me?

He shoots his brother a stare, for some reason he
doesn't know he felt a lot of range deep inside and
it made him want to swallow everyone up.

Anesu: Nqoba you are hurting me

She starts crying as his grib grew tighter.

Nqoba: where are you going?

Ntethe: she's going to get ready for her date now

let go of her and stop being an ass

Nqoba: she has to clean that up first

Ntethe: how about you clean it up yourself

She removed Anesu's hand out of Nqoba's tight grib
and they went upstairs, Ntethe whispered to Anesu.

Ntethe: don't ever let a man treat as if you are

nothing, you did nothing wrong the vase was meant
to break anyways

Anesu wipes her tears.

...

Downstairs Nkanyezi's heart was doing a bacardi at

the sight of Nqoba shouting at Anesu, Nqoba looked
really pissed and Fiso on the other hand
disappointed.

Nkanyezi leans over for a kiss.

Nkanyezi: I will see you Okay?

Nqoba nods and Nkanyezi left, Nqoba was left with
Fisokuhle.

Fiso: Nqoba what was all that about?

Nqoba: what was what about?

Fiso: the way you treated Anesu, you know she is

sensitive and you defiantly know that it was a
mistake

Nqoba: we are back go that again

he sighs and took his car keys.

Nqoba: you will find me at the office

He drove out of the yard.

...

Ntethe was upstairs in Anesu's room, it's probably

safe to call the room hers because it shows that she
will be staying in the house for long. Anesu was
busy taking a shower while Ntethe sat in the main
room busy talking to Anesu who was showering.

Ntethe: you should calm down and let the

convisation flow

Anesu: what if he thinks I'm not interesting?

She shouts.

Ntethe: why did he approach you if he thought you

weren't beautiful? don't be silly Anesu
silence.

Ntethe: also if he wants to kiss you just say no,

don't give in on your first date

The sound of the water stops and Anesu walks out

with a towel wrapped around her body. She had her
hair unpainted and the afro looked good and
healthy.

Anesu: Ntethe I need to tell you something

Ntethe: don't tell me you don't know how to kiss

Anesu: I don't know how to kiss and I have never

been touched before accept by Nqoba
Ntethe: he touched you? the audacity

Anesu: Ntethe come on don't make fun of this

Ntethe: okay I don't know what to say but you

should be calm, don't be wierd about everything

Anesu: okay I will try

Ntethe: now let's get you dressed and get your hair
done

Anesu lotioned her body and she sat down in front

of the mirror allowing Ntethe to do her hair, Ntethe
straighted Anesu's hair and became really long. She
got dressed into a long tight, long sleeved black
dress and some black Galaxboy sandals.
Ntethe gave her a handbag and she looked
stunning.

Ntethe: you look beautiful

Anesu: oh my goodness, my hair

She giggles as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Anesu: I look pretty, thank you Ntethe

Ntethe: anything for you sis

Anesu gave Ntethe a hug and Ntethe offered to

drive Anesu to the restaurant where she will be
meeting with Sphiwe.
Ntethe parks outside and Anesu breathes out
heavily.

Ntethe: we are here

Anesu: I don't think I can do this...let's...let's go back

Ntethe: nonsense you are doing this we are already

here

Anesu: what if he is not there?

Ntethe: then I will help you best him up the next

time we come across his ugly face

Anesu laughs and she unbuckles her seatbelt, she

steps out of the car and Ntethe stops her.
Ntethe: here you can use my card

Anesu: there's no...

Ntethe: before you say there is no need girl there is,

if he becomes an ass hole just pay the bill and show
him who is boss

Anesu: you are crazy but thank you

Ntethe: anytime sweetie now go

Anesu closed the door and she walks inside the

restaurant, When she walked she felt a lot of eyes
on her but she kept her cool.

She spots Sphiwe on one of the tables and he stood

up when he saw Anesu approaching. When he was
close enough he opened his arms with a smile on
his face and Anesu gave him a hug.

Sphiwe: it's good to see you

Anesu: you look handsome

She giggles pulling away from the hug and he

smiles.

Sphiwe: thank you...you also look really beautiful

Anesu: thanks

He pulled out a chair and Anesu sat down, he went

to his seat and also sat down. She looks into his
eyes and they both did not utter a word they just
stared until Sphiwe decided to look away and
chuckle.
Sphiwe: how are you?

Anesu: I'm nervous but I'm okay

Sphiwe: why are you nervous?

Anesu: I have never been on a date before, this is

my first time

Sphiwe's eyes widen.

Anesu: yes it's my first time don't look at me like

that

Sphiwe: it's just that I'm shocked that a beautiful

lady like has never been approached by man in that
type of manner, I mean you are so beautiful and a
lot of man would really dye to have as their date

Anesu laughs a little and smiles.

Anesu: you are exaggerating, I am pretty but not

that kind of pretty

Sphiwe: when I told I have never seen a woman

who is as pretty as you I meant it

Anesu blushed.

Anesu: okay that's enough my cheeks hurt, can we

order some drinks?

Sphiwe: lead the way

Anesu spent the whole night viewing the menu of
this restaurant online so she does not disappoint
her date by notifying him that she knows nothing
about the menu.

they ordered drink and they arrived, they sat there

having their drinks while waiting for their food.

Anesu: so what's your full name and include your

surname

Sphiwe: okay I am Sphiweyinkosi Khoza and don't

laugh but I just arrived in town with my father
strictly for business, my father is multi millionaire
and with a pity he was robbed by some criminals
which we will definitely make sure to catch and
arrest

Anesu: oh God I'm really sorry to hear that some

people out there are really insensitive
Sphiwe: you can say that again and I also kind of
dug some information about you

Anesu: you spied on me?

Sphiwe: it's not spying actually but I just wanted to

know more about the person I'm going out with

Anesu: what did you find?

Sphiwe: I found out that you were trending for the

past few days and it's a pity that some people out
there are like this

Anesu looks down.

Sphiwe: did I offend you? oh please no don't be
offended I'm not judging you...

He held her hand and he looks at him.

Sphiwe: don't be ashamed I mean look at you now,

just forget about the past

Anesu: I have been trying to forget about it

Sphiwe: let's change the topic then, Where are you

from?

Anesu: I'm from a village far from here and you?

Sphiwe: I grew up in England and later moved to

south Africa after loosing my mother to a car
accident and I had to stay with my father
Anesu: I'm sorry about your mother

Sphiwe: don't be it was Gods doing and till this day I

will never question why he took her away from me
so fast

Anesu: do you believe in God?

Sphiwe: I do but I don't attend church and yourself?

Anesu: I highly believe in God

Sphiwe: you would make a good wife

Anesu: I don't want to get married

Sphiwe: why?
Anesu: because it's a waste of time mean we can be
with each other for the rest of our lives without
having to get married

Sphiwe laughs a little.

They continued to have a chat and Anesu was

starting to get comfortable, She would laugh at
Sphiwe's boring jokes just because she did not want
to be addressed as a mean person. They sat there
till it was very late and it would be an
understatement if I said they weren't enjoying wach
others company.

They walked out of the restaurant and Anesu had a

takeawag which had her left over food.

Sphiwe: can I give you a ride back home?

Anesu: if you don't mind giving me a ride back

Sphiwe: okay let's go then

They approached his car which was a Lamborghini,

He opens the door for her and she got inside. He
went to his side of the car and when he was inside,
his hands fish for a banquet of fresh red rose and
Anesu's eyes light up.

Sphiwe: I forgot to come with these but these are

for my beautiful lady

Anesu giggles.

Anesu: they are so huge thank you

Sphiwe smiles and he starts his car, Anesu showed
his the directions to Nqoba's place and he parks
outside the gate. The security wouldn't let him
inside, Anesu sighs.

Anesu: it's okay you can drop me off here

Sphiwe: you live here?

Anesu: it's not my house but yes I live here

Sphiwe: so when am I going to see you again?

Anesu: I don't know, When do you want to see me?

Sphiwe: can I take you out on another date? I really

enjoy being around you
Anesu: okay I don't mind at all

Nqoba's car parked on the side of the road and he

got out of the car confused to see a car he doesn't
know, he steps out of his car and he approached
the car. He knocks on the window and Anesu along
with Sphiwe are startled, Sphiwe rolls down his
window and he looks at Nqoba.

Sphiwe: can I help you sir?

Anesu's eyes met with Nqoba's and she looks away.

Nqoba: you are parked in front of my gate, yes you

can help me

Sphiwe: do you know this guy?

Anesu: yes this is his house

Sphiwe: you stay with a guy?

Nqoba: yes she stays with me now reverse

Sphiwe: can't you see I'm still busy

Nqoba: nansi inja ingidakelwa hebaba you are

parked in front of my house and you telling me you
are still busy...

Sphiwe: exactly that you can wait we will be done in

a moment...

Nqoba just shook his head laughing and he stops,

he gave Sphiwe a serious look while clenching his
jaw.
Nqoba: do I look like your peer?

Sphiwe: no you don't

Nqoba: right now I'm going to tolerate your

nonsense for the sake of that woman sitting next to
you because I don't want to traumatize her when I
drag you out of your car and start beating the shit
out of your trust me I am capable of doing such so...

He looks at Anesu clenching his jaw.

Nqoba: don't make me repeat myself

he walks away with his hands inside his pocket and

he got inside his car, Anesu could see the
frustration written on Nqoba's face.
Anesu: you really need to reverse because he is not
playing with you

Sphiwe: is he your brother?

Anesu: nope...Sphiwe please

She got out of the car with her things and she
closed the door looking at Sphiwe, He reversed and
rolled down his window.

Sphiwe: I will call you Okay?

Anesu nods and Sphiwe's car drove off, Nqoba

drove closer to the gate and it opens, he rolls down
his window and he was still angry.

Nqoba: get in the car

Anesu: I can walk inside thank you

Nqoba: I wasn't asking and don't make me repeat

myself I'm not in the mood

he was right, he wasn't in the mood without arguing

and being hardheaded. Anesu got inside the car and
Nqoba drove inside the yard, he parks his car
outside and he breathes out.

Nqoba: tell your little boyfriend to park somewhere

else next time and teach him a little bit respect...

he sat there thinking about what he was about to

say and he shook his head, he clicks his to the and
he got out of the car. Anesu also got out of the car
and she made her way inside the house, Nqoba was
nowhere to be seen in the house so Anesu decided
to talk to Ntethe about her date and she fell asleep
in between the call.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 16
ANESU MTSHALI.

FEW DAYS LATER.

Anesu has been in and out of the house, she usually

does not have time to spend in the house since
Sphiwe keeps her busy by taking her out on fates
and making her experience the best things she has
never experienced. It's her first time feeling like this
about a guy even though her feelings are not that
clear yet.
Spending time with Sphiwe has been the best thing
currently since Nqoba had been having moods like a
pregnant woman who has problems with her
hormones. So leaving the house us kind of the best
feeling ever and being around Ntethe, She woke up
in the morning and she took a shower.

She steps out of the shower once she was done and
she dries her body, she wraps a towel around her
waist and she lotioned her body.

While she was getting dressed there was a loud

knock on the door and Nkanyezi barged in without
Anesu giving her the permission to enter.

Nkanyezi: you are still up this late? who did you

think will cook breakfast?

Anesu look behind her with her hand on her chest,

she looked once more to see who exactly was
Nkanyezi talking to because she was very sure deep
down that she wasn't talk to her.

Nkanyezi: why are you looking behind you stupid?

Anesu: oh no I was looking for the person you were

addressing in that manner because there's no way
you are talking to me like that

Nkanyezi: don't act stupid, you don't work, you

don't pay any bills and all your do is eat and sleep...

She clicks her tongue.

Nkanyezi: can't you do anything? can't you see that

you are a huge burden in our lives

Anesu's jaw dropped, Nkanyezi has been doing this

quite often. She appreciate what Nqoba has been
doing for her but all this drama is a lot for her to us
for.

Anesu: I'm a burden? you are calling me a burden?

She felt her cheeks burning out.

Nkanyezi: of course you are unable to see all that

because Nqoba is even scared to tell you, he
doesn't even know what he will do with you since
you are just useless

Anesu: that is how Nqoba feels about me?

Nkanyezi rolls her eyes.

Nkanyezi: God she's still asking

She mumbles and claps her hands.

Nkanyezi: I think it's best that you pack your things

and leave by doing that you would be making
everything easy for Nqoba...

Anesu blinks away her tears and she wipes them,

she did not know honestly that is how Nqoba felt
abiut her staying in his house. she thought that he
was trying to help her but hearing these words cut
deep because firstly she trusts Nqoba and secondly
she's starting to consider the people she just met as
family.

Nkanyezi starts smiling revealing her evil smile.

Nkanyezi: but you don't have to worry about

cooking, I will be going out with my future husband
and in the meantime you should pack everything
beacsue when we return I don't want to see you
here

Anesu nods and Nqoba slowly walked behind

Nkanyezi grabbing her by the waist, pulling her
closer to him and planting a kiss on her neck.

Nqoba: I have been looking for you baby...

Nkanyezi: i was just taking to this girl

She chuckles and Nqoba raised his head to look at

Anesu, his eyes no longer looked the way they used
to each time they locked with her. He did not look
concerned or hurt to see her in tears, he quickly
shifts his eyes from Anesu and back to his darling
future wife who has been the only priority in his life
at the moment.
Nqoba: come...

he pulls her to the room and she giggles out loud

like a hoe,The minute they were out of sight Anesu
broke down. She doesn't even know what to do and
at the moment she wants to call Ntethe but deep
down she thought that she was starting to be a
burden to her also.

She got dressed into her leggings and a long sleeved

pink top, she sat on her bed till she heard Nqoba's
car driving out.

She quickly pulled out her phone and dailed

Sphiwe's number, he answered on the second ring.

Sphiwe: Anesu hey, I wonder what did I bath with or

eat that made me receive a call from you?
he chuckles and Anesu sniffs, there's some shuffling
in the background and Sphiwe's voice changed.

Sphiwe: Anesu are you crying?

Anesu: no I'm not crying

Sphiwe: I can hear you sniff and your voice is cracky

don't tell me lies Okay?

Anesu: I just...I don't want to talk about it

Sphiwe: what did he do to you this time? I told you

that I don't like seeing you staying in that house
with that man, he doesn't look friendly at all and I...

Anesu: I no longer want to be here Sphiwe

please...I...I don't know what got into my mind that
made me think that He was going to help me...
She broke down.

Sphiwe: okay I'm dropping everything and I'm going

to fetch you

Anesu: no no no I don't want to be your burden to

Sphiwe: you will never be a burden to me, don't

ever call yourself a burden

Anesu: but I feel like I am a burden, I just entered

into their lives and good God I feel like I have been
ruining their plans and stuff like that...I feel really
stupid and it's...

Sphiwe: okay just pack your things I will make plan,

don't cry Okay? you are making me feel bad
Anesu: Sphiwe honestly it's okay, I just called so
that I can talk to you about everything I will manage
I don't want to be your...

Sphiwe: call yourself a burden one more time I dare

you

Anesu bites her lower lip and allows her tears to

flow down her cheeks, there was silent for a
moment.

Sphiwe: I'm on my way

he hung up and Anesu started packing, she didn't

have a beg to pack everything inside so she used a
huge plastic she could find in the kitchen.
She walks back upstairs and packs everything, she
received a call from Sphiwe telling her that he is
parked outside.

She walks out of the house and she walked to the

gate, the security granted her the permission to
exit. She walks out and Sphiwe met her half way, he
took the plastic and as he was about to load it at
the backseat of the car Vezokuhle's car approached
he stops the car right in front of Sphiwe's car.

He rolls down his window.

Vezo: sanbona...

he spots the black bag on Sphiwe's hand, he raised

his left eye brow and he looks at Sphiwe.

Vezo: what's inside that bag?

Sphiwe: Anesu's clothes

Vezo: what are they doing in the black bag?

Silence.

Vezo looks at Anesu.

Vezo: Sis'omcane (little sister) why are your clothes

inside the black bag? where are you going?

Anesu: I'm leaving Vezo I no longer want to stay

where I don't feel welcomed or loved

Vezo: who told you that?

Anesu: Nkanyezi made everything clear to me that
I'm a burden in her life and Nqoba's...

Vezo: she told you what?

Anesu: she also told me to pack my stuff and

honestly I appreciate the help but I think this is
where our paths cross

Vezo: you can't just leave like this, what did Nqoba
say about this?

Anesu: we don't talk, he doesn't talk to me so I

don't talk to him...I don't know he is moody and I
don't want to trigger his anger...

Vezo: you are not going anywhere

Sphiwe: that's not your decision to me

Vezo: can't you see we are discussing family
matters, are you part of this family?

Sphiwe: N...

Vezo: shut up then, Anesu...

Anesu: please don't stop me Bhuti, I think this is

best for everyone Okay?

She took the bag from Sphiwe's hand and placed it

inside, she got inside on the front seat and Sphiwe
looks at Vezo for a moment.

He got indie the car and drove off with Anesu.

Anesu: where are we going?

Sphiwe: I'm taking you to your new home, I got a
apartment not far away from here you can stay in
for a while

Anesu: how much does that apartment cost?

Sphiwe: you don't have to worry yourself about that

Anesu: I want to know so I can maybe start working

and then I can be able to pay uhm...rent

Sphiwe: you don't have to worry about rent I have

everything sorted, relax

Anesu: Sphiwe I don't want to be another burden

Sphiwe: you are not a burden Anesu, I'm doing this
out of a king heart and because I care about your
nothing deep or whatsoever

Anesu nods
.
.
.
Vezo drove inside the yard after he watched Anesu
drive off with a guy he doesn't know, he on my
came to Nqoba's house to fetch a few documents.
He walks inside the house and plays with his car
keys in his hand, he searched for the files but deep
down he was worried about Anesu's safety since he
is very overprotective.

Once he found the documents and something told

him to look through the guys identity, he rushed to
his car and he took out his laptop. He hacks into the
cameras at the gate to get a clear picture of Sphiwe,
Once he has the picture he started to hack into the
dark web looking for Sphiwe's identity.

His information was displayed on the screen of his

laptop and he did not bother to read futher.

Vezo: Khoza!

He quickly covered his mouth and took out his

phone, he sent the profile to all his brothers and he
called Fiso, he answered.

Fiso: Bafo...

Vezo: check your phone I just sent you something

Fiso: okay hold on...

silence.

Fiso: Vezo why are you showing me a profile of this

boy?

Vezo: doesn't Khoza ring a bell?

Fiso: no who is...

Vezo's phone vibrates and it was Nathi calling.

Vezo: Nathi is calling

Fiso: add him on the call

Vezo did as he was told.

Nathi: Vezo why are you sending me the profile of
this guy? what am I suppose to do with this guy?
are we killing or robbing him...

Fiso: calm down I'm also waiting for him to explain

Vezo: this is the son of the guy we robbed

Nathi: manje phona sihlanganaphi nalo mfana? (so

what are we suppose to do with this boy?)

Vezo: I just saw him parked outside the gate leaving

with Anesu and they seem to know each other

Fiso: how do they know each other?

Nathi: did you just saying leaving? where are they

going?
Vezo: she's leaving the house since Nkanyezi said
something to her about being a burden

Nathi: uyahlanya uNkanyezi! (Nkanyezi is crazy!)

he shouts.

Fiso: so Anesu is moving in with a guy she doesn't

know and Nqoba knew nothing about this?

Vezo:that's the same thing in asking myself, how

can all this happen while Nqoba is around?

Nathi: let's go ahead and ask him!

Vezo: sure I will meet you at the office

He hung up and closed his laptop, he clicks his
tongue behind heading out and he left the house.
He drove to the office and he arrived first, he went
to his office only to find that he was in a meeting.

He made his way to the room were the meeting was

held.

Madison: the boss requested that he must not be

disturbed

Vezo: awume kancane!

he stopped her and he barged inside the room,

Nqoba stopped talking and his look at Vezo with a
question look.

Vezo: everybody out of the room!

he shouts.

Nathi: what Vezokuhle said...

he walks in and Fiso followed behind him.

Everyone stood up taking their things and they left

the room, Vezo looked at Nqoba once the door
closed.

Vezo: what did you do to Anesu?

Nqoba: all this is about that girl? you just disturbed

a very important meeting just for that girl?

Nathi: Anesu is 'that girl' now? that is who she is

now huh? I think you have the same mental health
like your girlfirend
Fiso: where is Anesu right now as we speak?

Nqoba: at the house

Vezo: wrong!

he throws a punch on his face and Nqoba held his

cheek, he threw a punch back and Vezo.

Nqoba: the fuck!

Vezo: that is exactly what I want, do you know how

you and your girlfriend have put Anesu's life at risk?

Nqoba: what did I do? just because I scolded her

and called her stupid...
Fiso: you called her stupid...

he clicks his tongue and he punched Nqoba, he held

his cheek once more not believing what was
happening.

His blood started boiling.

Nqoba: tell me all this is worth it because I swear I

will...

Vezo: your stupid girlfriend told Anesu was a

burden and did you even know that she was
meeting up with the son of the guy we robbed fee
days back?

Nqoba: I don't care about that girl...

Vezo felt his blood boil and he got on top of Nqoba
and started beating his up, he pushed his against
the table and he punched him. Nqoba felt the
pressure and he pushed Vezo off himself and he got
on top of him landing both of them of the floor, he
started punching his and they kept rolling, changing
positions from being Vezo at the top punching at
Nqoba to Nqoba on top of Vezo and punching him.

Fiso got in between them since he saw how things

were getting out of hand.

Fiso: that is enough now

Vezo: don't tell me it's enough, we all are aware

that Nqoba was the one who brought Anesu into his
life, she did not ask him to help her but offered to
help her and he should be the one protecting her
from that evil girlfriend of his since he knows how
crazy she can be...
Nqoba clicks his tongue.

Vezo: right now you are going to get inside your car
and you will apologise for being an ass to Anesu and
you will beg her to come home and...

Nqoba: I'm not doing any of that

Fiso: Nqoba what has gotten into you, the man

Anesu is with right now as we speak is dangerous
and he can do anything to her....

Nqoba: I don't care Okay? now get out I need to

continue with my...

he felt a very sharp headache and he got dizzy at

the same time, he balanced using the table and he
tightly closed his eyes.
Vezo: I hope you won't regret this...

Nqoba: regret what?

Blood started coming out of his noise and Nathi

quickly hands his some tissue, he wipes the blood
but blood did not stop coming out.

Nqoba: what happened? what do I feel like a part of

my jaw has been relocated

the brothers look at one another and back at

Nqoba.

Fiso: do you know why we came here?

Nqoba shook his head.

Vezo: Anesu is with a dangerous guy and...

Nqoba: which dangerous guy?

Vezo: Khoza's boy

Nqoba's eyes pop out.

Nqoba: how did he find us?

Fiso shrugs.

Nqoba clicks his tongue.

Nqoba: I swear if he lays a single finger on her...

Vezo shook his head and clapped his hands twice
confused as he watched Nqoba walk out with his
car keys in hand, few seconds ago he was busy
uttering that he does not care.

Nathi: I'm confused as you

...

Anesu and Sphiwe arrive at the apartment, he

unlocks the door and Anesu walks inside, he
followed behind her with the plastic bag.

Anesu: this place is huge

Sphiwe: and it's all yours

Anesu: it's tours not mine, I won't be staying here

for long since I will find my family soon and...
Sphiwe: you can stay as long as you want, this
apartment belongs to you now

Anesu: no thank you I'm...

Sphiwe: why do you have to reject everything

Anesu shurgs and Sphiwe helps her unpack, Once

they were done they sat down and Sphiwe cuddles
Anesu.

She was busy brushing his arm while laying on his

chest.

Anesu: thank you for always being there for me

Sphiwe: it's a...

The door was kicked open and the Dube brothers
barge in, Sphiwe stood up and Anesu did the same.

Sphiwe: stand behind me

he whispers to Anesu and her eyes lock with

Nqobas

Sphiwe: why kick the door when you can knock?

Nathi: our fingers had cramps

Nqoba: Anesu get your things we are leaving

Anesu: I'm not going anywhere with you

Nqoba clenched his jaw and he looks at Sphiwe.

Nqoba: you are not safe with him but you are safe
with me

Anesu: you did not make me feel safe for the past
few days and you had the audacity to speak about
me to your girlfriend, you were a coward enough to
tell her that I was a burden and told her to pick me
out...

She starts crying all over again.

Nqoba: when did I say all that?

Anesu: stop acting dumb Nqoba, you are a grown

up with a great memory

Nqoba: I swear if I remembered saying those words

I would apologise but I don't
Anesu sucks her teeth.

Vezo: Anesu get your things

Anesu folds her arms and shook her head.

Sphiwe: you heard her now leave before I call the

police

Nqoba: Anesu...

Anesu: Nqobuthando!

Nathi raised his hands in the air.

Nathi: okay I'm getting her things you carry her to

the car
Anesu: no I'm not going back to stay in that place
within were you will treat me like crap

Vezo and Nathi started packing Anesu's clothes

back into the plastic bag, Nqoba stepped closer to
Anesu and looked into her eyes.

Nqoba: come home

Anesu: that is not home

She shook her head as tears started to fill her eyes.

Nqoba: I will make it feel like home

Anesu chuckles and blinks away her tears.

Anesu: you do change like the weather but those
hurtful words you and your girlfriend said to...

Nqoba: Ngiyaxolisa (I'm sorry)

He wipes her tears and Sphiwe's jaw dropped.

Sphiwe: I'm still here

Nathi: bhuti did you hear that mosquito?

Fiso: nah

Nathi: Anesu let's go

Anesu: I don't want...

Nqoba was fed up with this back and forth
argument, he carried Anesu by his shoulder, she
screams.

Anesu: Nqoba put me down!

She orders.

Nqoba: I can't hear you

Sphiwe grabs Nqoba's arm and Nqoba looks at his

grib then back at him.

Nqoba: ngizokuhlaphaza mfana uzoba zicucu, let go

of my arm

he said calmly.
Sphiwe: she doesn't...

Nqoba forcefully pulled his arm which pulled

Sphiwe closer to him, he used his head and he hits
Sphiwe on the nose so hard he started to bleed on
his nose.

Nqoba clicks his tongue.

Nqoba: don't ever touch me like I'm your girlfriend

and stay the fuck away from Anesu or you will have
me to deal with

He walks out and carried Anesu to the car, he

placed her inside the car and she used her tiny fists
to his him on the chest.
he told both her arms with his one hand, that's how
tiny her wrists are. He looks deep into her eyes and
she stood fighting.

Nqoba: once again I'm sorry for whatever bad

words i uttered and how I treated you, even though
I don't remember doing such because I know that
I'm incapable of hurting you and you know that

She got lost in his eyes as she calmed down.

Nqoba: are you now calm?

Anesu does not say anything and he slowly loosens

his grib, he gently closed the door and found his
brothers standing behind him.

Fiso: if you ever hurt her like you did...

Vezo: I will be the first to kill you

Nathi: I will help them bury you where no one will

ever find you, if you make her runaway and...

Nqoba: when are we leaving tomorrow?

He changed the topic.

Vezo: first thing in the morning

Nqoba: I will see y'all at the airpot

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 17
NARRATIVE.
They arrived at the house and Anesu went straight
in with her things without uttering a single word at
Nqoba, He follows behind her and he shouts her
name.

Nqoba: Anesu!

She does not turn around but continued to climb

the stairs, he calls her one more time.

Nqoba: Anesu...

She continued climbing the stairs and she wipes her

tears as she walked.

Nqoba: Anesu I'm talking to you

She quickly turned around and faced Nqoba with
tears on her cheeks, she wipes her tears and blinks
multiple times before opening her mouth.

Anesu: did you ever stop for a moment and think

that maybe I don't want to talk to you?

Nqoba: you can't be angry at me for doing

something I don't even remember

Anesu: that's the thing, you don't remember and it's

fine I will just suck everything in and wait till you
find my family and I will get out of your life cause I
know how you can't wait to have me out of your life
and it's fine

She sniffs and wipes her tears, he placed his car

keys on top of the counter and he steps closer to
her. She steps back shaking her head and placed her
hand on his chest.
Anesu: I also do not want you to manipulate me
with your words and your touch, I don't want you to
do anything Okay?

Nqoba: Anesu I'm just trying to protect you and you

should just let me protect you...

Anesu: that's the thing you are so arrogant, you

think you are doing everything accordingly but no
you are not...

Nqoba: what am I doing wrong?

Anesu: you are a grown up and I can't be telling you

everything that you do wrong
Nqoba: okay I'm tired of apologising because I can
see that you are not looking forward into forgiving
me but I'm only go to day thus once and not twice...

She looks at him waiting for whatever words he was

about to say.

Nqoba: you are going to have to stay away from

that guy, he is bad company

Anesu: and you are good company?

She scoffs and rolls her eyes.

Nqoba: I'm better company then him

Anesu: oh please whoever told you that lied

Nqoba: I don't get why you are being like this

Anesu: it's all because of you, I wasn't like this and

I'm sure you are more then aware of that

Nqoba sighs and closed his eyes, he opens them

and looks at Anesu.

Nqoba: we are leaving for Eastern Cape first thing in

the morning

Anesu: of course you would not allow me if I had

told you I don't want to go so be it, tomorrow
morning it is then

She picks up the plastic and she left, Nqoba just

clenched his jaw as he went downstairs. He sat
down on the couch and he breathes out, he stared
at the ceiling trying to remember the things he was
doing to Anesu but nothing seemed to pop out
accept for the headache which came with sharp
aches and pains there and there.

He got up and he took out some pain killers, he

drank two and swallowed then up with the whiskey.
As he finished gulping down his second glass the
front door opens and Nkanyezi barged in.

Nkanyezi: baby I'm back

She shouts and She placed her bag down, Nqoba

just looked at her as the sound her pencil heels
annoyed him to the core as she stepped closer.

She opened her arms and bad odour cane out of no

where, he could smell shit but she couldn't tell
where it was coming from.
Nqoba: I told you to barge in like that in my house,
what happened to knocking?

Nkanyezi: baby stop being boring I know you...

Nqoba: uyaqina yazi! (you are being forward)

Nkanyezi steps back and raised an eyebrow.

Nkanyezi: what happened to you? why are you

acting like this?

She thought that maybe she kuthi stopped working

because when she was here in the morning, Nqoba
listened to every word she said but at the moment
it seems like things are not the same.

Nqoba: what did you say to Anesu before we left?

Nkanyezi: I hope she left...

She smiles and Nqoba looked shocked, he laughs a

little shaking his head and kept his cool.

Nkanyezi: I could see how much of a burden she

was to you and I knew you were going to kick her
out so I beat you to it baby...

Nqoba: you are spiritually gifted now huh? you can

now read people's mind and tell what they wanted
to do and not do

Nkanyezi: baby I could see that she was annoying

you and...
Nqoba: Anesu does not annoy me not even a single
bit but you are the one whose being annoying in
fact did you even bath?

Nkanyezi's jaw dropped.

Nkanyezi: what do you mean did I bathe?

Nqoba: you reak of shit and you literally pissing me

off as you speak...

Nkanyezi: baby uthi nginuka amasimba?(I smell like

shit?)

Nqoba clicked his tongue.

Nqoba: get out of my house before you make the

whole house stink like you stink
Nkanyezi: baby you can't be...

Nqoba: fuck! are you deaf or disabled I told you to

get out so azishe

Nkanyezi: you can't kick me out like this in your

future wife

Nqoba: do you want to be my ex fiance? don't

trigger my anger Nkanyezi don't you know I am
more then capable to call you mother as of this
moment and...

He took out his phone and he went to Mrs

Ngubane's contact, he showed Nkanyezi the screen
and he held his finger right on top of the green call
button not wanting to press it.
Nqoba: if you do anything stupid to Anesu or say
things to her I never said as if I sent you...

he pressed the green button and placed the phone

on speaker, Nkanyezi covered her mouth and tried
to snatch the phone from Nqoba but his raised his
hand on the air.

Nkanyezi's smell started to become unbearable so

he pushed her and Mrs Ngubane's voice stopped
Nkanyezi from reaching out for the phone.

Mrs Ngubane: future son in law...

Nkanyezi shook her head.

Nqoba: oh ncese mma it was a mistake

he hung up and slides his phone inside his pocket.

Nqoba: wena nonyoko noyihlo nincengile lapha kimi
if you do anything stupid or if any harms comes on
Anesu and I find out that you behind everything I
swear I will start from grandchild, cousin, aunt,
uncle...

he laughs a little shaking his head trying to calm his

anger down.

Nqoba: I will eliminate each and every member of

the Ngubane family, don't play anywhere around
Anesu or else I will a mark you will live with for the
rest of your life

Nkanyezi swallows.

Nkanyezi: I'm sorry I didn't mean...

Nqoba: just get out there's nothing that's gonna
ever make me contact you, I will see you at the alter
otherwise ungangibangeli isikhiminci GET OUT!

Nkanyezi didn't think twice she left and Nqoba

breathes out, he clicks his tongue and he went
upstairs.

...

[THE FOLLOWING DAY, MORNING]

Anesu woke up early in the morning and she took a

shower, Nqoba told her that they have to leave
early so they don't arrive when it's dark and she just
looked at him and continued with everything she
was doing. She packs her clothes inside the luggage
Nqoba gave her and once she was done she went
downstairs with everything, she found Nqoba
packing everything inside the boot and she picks up
her luggage to place it inside the boot of the car but
Nqoba stopped her.

Nqoba: let me do that for you

Anesu just pushed him by the chest and she placed

the luggage inside the boot, she made her way
inside the back seat of the car and she just say
there.

Nqoba: why are you sitting there?

She did not answer him but got glued on her phone,
Nqoba sighed and did not pay attention at her. He
got inside the car and he adjusts the review mirror
to focus on Anesu at the back, she noticed that he
kept stealing glances at her and she looked him till
he stole another glance causing their eyes to lock.
He looks away with a smirk in his face, he started
the car and he drove to the airport. The drive was
filled with lot of silence and the silence got thicker
and thicker, They arrived at the airport and Nqoba
drove to were his private jet was parked.

He stops the car and he got out, he opens the door

for Anesu and instead she got out on the other side
making Nqoba to laugh a little shaking his head
since he is being tested, he has never had a hard
time with a girl in fact he has never been given
silent treatment by a girl to this extent because he
knows that he can be charming with his word
(manipulative) the correct word for his charm is in
the bracket I'm just trying to make him look like a
good angel not the devil his becoming.

The brothers were already loading their luggage

inside the jet and Nathi approached Anesu with a
smile.
Nathi: Sis'omncane

Anesu looked at him from head to toe and she

breathes out trying her level best to be demure
about the situation.

Nathi: manje?

Vezo: I'm sure she's still angry about yesterday,

Anesu?

She ignores him and Vezo looks at Nqoba who is

just standing leaning on the car his eyes looking
deep at Nqoba since he is frustrated that she was
giving him along with his brothers silent treatment,
he kept on clenching his jaw line and Fiso went to
him.

he rubs his shoulder.

Fiso: woman are like this just give her some space
to digest everything

Nqoba: she's not a woman I have never met a

woman like her before, I mean I opened the door
for but she decided to exit on the other door

Fiso bursts into laughter and he left Nqoba standing

there, Anesu could feel Nqoba's eyes and she
turned to look at him.

Anesu: stop looking at me

She said and got inside the private jet following the
brothers.

Nqoba: haibo...
He followed behind her and she was seated on the
corner alone, she was nervous since it's her first
time in a plane though she tried to not show it.

Nqoba took out a bottle of whiskey and he went to

join his brothers.

Nathi: do you think she will be Okay?

Nqoba shurgs and the private jet took off, the

brothers just sat there having convisation filled with
lots of laughter while Anesu sat there starting to get
air sick.

It's been thirty minute since they have been in the

air and already she feels air sick, she felt like
vomiting and she stood up going to the toilet since
she saw the brothers using it.
The brothers stopped laughing and they looked at
Anesu as she entered the bathroom to go vomit.

Fiso: I think she's not Okay?

Nathi: does she look okay to you? uyahlanya wena

Vezo: is this her first time flying?

They all look at Nqoba.

Nqoba: why are you looking at me? I don't know

She got out of the toilet wiping her mouth looking

really drained, she went to lay on the couch like bed
and she looked tired.
Nqoba: I know you said we should give her space
but I can't

he stood up from his seat and he went to Anesu, he

sat down and she looks at him. She turns around
facing the other side and Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: uzongiqhumbela kuze kube nini? (you will

be angry at me till when?)

Anesu: till whenever I want

She mumbles.

Nqoba: is this your first time flying?

She turns to face him and she nods looking into his
eyes.
Nqoba: why did you not tell me?

Anesu: because I'm not even suppose to be talking

to you, I'm still angry at you and I don't even want
to see your face at the moment

Nqoba: Ane...

Anesu quickly got up from her seat and she rushed

to the toilet, Nqoba followed behind her and he
rubs her back as she vomits.

She coughs and she removed his head.

Anesu: no leave this is disgusting and I don't want

you to see me like this
She wipes her mouth and she sat down on the floor.

Nqoba: let me get you something that will help you

he went to get some pills and some water, he gave

it to her.

Nqoba: drink that it will help you

She slowly drank the pill and Nqoba helped her up,
he walks by her side with her arms around the back
his neck and his hand on her waist.

Anesu: I can walk on my own

Nqoba: okay
he let's her go and she almost fell but he quickly
caught her, he looked into her eyes and smiles.

Nqoba: you were saying?

Anesu: I don't know what I was saying, whatever

She rolls her eyes and he smirks, the brother were

busy watching the love brewing and they continued
to mind their own business.

Nqoba took a LV blanket and he covered Anesu with

the blanket, he made her lay on his chest and she
cuddled on his buff body.

Anesu: I'm still angry at you

Nqoba: I know you are not but I like a girl whose
able to stand her ground, I mean make me panick a
little

Anesu laughs a little.

Anesu: mmmh...

She slowly drifts off to sleep and she slept almost

the whole ride, When they arrived at the airport
Nqoba did not want to wake her up since she
looked really cute while she slept.

The royal SUV's were parked outside and Nqoba

carried Anesu to his car, they unload their bags and
load them into the cars.

They drove off and it was getting really late, Anesu

was sleeping on Nqoba's chest and as they drove
the weather started to change. Anesu was woken
up by the loud droplets of rain which hit the cars
roof from the outside, she rubs her eyes and the
weather got pretty intense.

They approached the royal palace and they drove

inside the yard, the earth started to shake a little as
if it was a continental drift but it was loud thunder
which was rumbling from afar.

Lungani and Ntongolozi step out of the house, the

royal seer followed behind them and the cars went
off. Fiso and Vezo got out of the car, they rushed to
embrace their mother followed by Nathi.

Ntongolozi: oh my beautiful boys

Nqoba got out of the car and he firstly looked at his

father, he quickly rushed to his mother and gave
her a tight hugged followed by a kiss on the
forehead.

"it looks like there someone else left in the car," the
royal seer looks at inside the car and he awaits to
see who shall pop out of the car.

Nqoba: Anesu come out don't be scared

She steps out of the car playing with her fingers

looking down, she took two steps foward and raised
her head to look at everyone in front of her.

[LIGHTNING SOUND]

lighting struck right in front of the door step and

Ntongolozi screams, Lighting struck the big tree
splitting it into half and the thunder rumbled in the
clouds.
Nqoba quickly rushed to Anesu who just stood
there frozen with her heart racing, Nqoba touched
her on her face and she did nothing but blink away
her tears.

Nqoba: are you Okay? you are not hurt

Anesu nods and the royal seer smiles.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 18
ANESU MTSHALI.

She stood there with her blood pressure high and

her legs crossed trying to prevent herself from
peeing since the lighting struck got her really
scared, she looked at Nqoba who had worry written
all over his face as he squeezed her cheeks and
shaking her from her thoughts.

Anesu: I'm fine...

Nqoba: are you sure? are you not hurt?

he continued to ask since he was really concerned.

Anesu removed his hands from her and she
squeezed his one hand.

Anesu: Nqoba I'm fine

She looks into his eyes and placed her hand on his
chest, she could feel his heart racing and deep
down he did not know why he was suddenly
scared. Nqoba steps back and he took his hand into
Anesu's, he avoids his eyes from meeting with his
father's because he knows that he doesn't like the
sight of what he is doing.

He walks up the three steps and they stood in front

of their parents, Anesu slowly slides her hand out of
Nqoba's grib and she clears her throat and put on a
smile on her face.

Nqoba: I don't know what that was about anyways

mama this is Anesu Zesuliwe Mtshali and she has
been staying with me, I'm sure father told you
about her

he looks at Nzwakele.

Lungani: of course I told your mother about this girl

whose planning on ruining your marriege, how are
you thus blind and you even have the audacity to
bring inside these yards
Nqoba: Nzwakele with all due respect, I know that
this is your palace and you want everything done
accordingly but this is also my home and I can bring
anyone I want

Lungani: this girl not...

Ntongolozi: what your father is trying to say is that

we were not expecting you to bring a girl home for
Christmas since we usually spend it as a family but
it's fine we don't mind....right my love?

He looks at Nzwakele and he clenched his jaw

before faking a smile and heading inside without
saying a word, Anesu frowns realising that the King
does not like her at all and that they have spoken
about her in her absence.
Ntongolozi: do not mind my husband he had a bad
day, perks of being a King...

She laughs a little.

Ntongolozi: you are more then welcome in our

palace and you should feel at home you are family
now

Anesu: thank you Mrs Dube

Ntongolozi: please calling me with that title makes

me feel really old just call me mom or mma...

She smiles.

Ntongolozi: if you are comfortable though? now let

me go show you the room you will be using and
tomorrow I will give you a tour around the palace so
you don't get lost when we are not around

She took Anesu's hand and wraps her arm around

Anesu's arm, they walk inside leaving the Dube
brothers with the royal seer. The first thing they
were welcomed with was there family pictures
displayed on the huge wall and Anesu smiles.

Ntongolozi: it must have been a long ride and I'm

sure you must be hungry

Anesu: I'm starving to death

Ntongolozi: didn't those boys feed you?

Anesu: I slept the whole ride and on our way here

when we drove, I was only woken up by the rain
which started pouring all of assuden
Ntongolozi: and the rains is really wierd but
whatever I won't question nature

Anesu smiles as they climb the stairs.

Ntongolozi: so how long have you been staying with

my son and how did you two meet?

Anesu: it's a wierd story if I were to narrate it to you

Ntongolozi: how about we save it for tomorrow

since we will be spending some quality time
together, it's been a while since I had company

Anesu: I can see...

She giggles and they finally arrived at Anesu's room,
her luggage was already brought to her room.
Ntongolozi showed her around the room and where
to find things she would need.

Ntongolozi: make yourself at home and dinner will

be ready soon but I will send someone to request
for you

Anesu: thank you Mrs Dube...

She rolls her eyes and smacks her head a little.

Anesu: thank you mma

Ntongolozi: you welcome, I will see you down soon

She left and went downstairs, Anesu slowly spinned

her body while she stood in the centre of the room
with her eyes closed. She giggles and she threw
herself on the bed, she starts unpacking her stuff
and she took a hot shower since it was getting cold.

Once she was done, she lotioned her body and she
wore her long pyjamas. She wore her slippers and
she plugs her phone inside the charger, she sat
down on the bed biting her nails.

Anesu: I know man said they will request for me

but...okay

She stood up after battling with her thoughts and

she went downstairs, she arrived downstairs and
she went to the kitchen where she was welcomed
by loud laughter of Nqoba with his mother.

Ntongolozi: I did not think you were capable of

doing that...
She laughs and smiles when she saw Anesu.

Anesu: I'm sorry to interrupt but I know you said

you would request for me but I just got bored after I
finished bathing and...

Ntongolozi: ohh it's okay baby, we were just

cooking here

Nqoba looks at Anesu with a smile while he peeled

the carrots.

Anesu: so what are you making? it really smells

good

She sat down on the kitchen high chair and she

folds her arms with a smile on her face as she
awaits for them to tell her what they were
preparing.

Ntongolozi: Nqoba's secrete recipe

Anesu: secrete recipe? sounds mysterious

Ntongolozi: wait till you taste it you will keep

craving for more and why are you seated?

She placed her hands on her hip and raised one

eyebrow looking at Anesu who looks at Nqoba and
back at Ntongolozi.

Anesu: mma I can't cook

Ntongolozi gasped and Nqoba laughs.

Anesu: it's not funny

Ntongolozi: how are not able to cook? a girl should

know how to cook at the age of twelve and wena
what's funny? chop those carrots and stop showing
your yellow teeth

Nqoba's jaw dropped and Anesu bursts into

laughter, she laughed till tears came out her eyes
and her stomach got painful.

Nqoba: mma my teeth are not...

Ntongolozi: stop wanting to answer me and chop

the carrot before I chop the one inside your pants

Anesu laughed even harder and she received a dead

stare from Nqoba, she laughed even harder and
Ntongolozi joined her. That frustrated Nqoba and
he stops chopping, he took off the apron and he
went to hand it over to Anesu.

Anesu placed her hand on her chest and gasped.

Anesu: what should I do with the apron?

Nqoba: cook I'm no longer in the mood you know

better angithi that's why you are laughing?

Anesu: who said I know better? why are you

bashing me? stop being sour Nqoba we were just
joking

Ntongolozi: don't take your anger out on the poor

girl we were joking your teeth are not yellow

Anesu: what about the carrot in his pants?

Nqoba steps closer and he leans over on her ear, he
whispered.

Nqoba: ngizothi lithinte ebese uyababaza (I will

order you to touch it and you will be shocked)

Anesu: I will be shocked because lincane angithi (it's

small right?)

Nqoba smirks.

Nqoba: I will let you be but the day I catch you

and...

Ntongolozi pokes his on the arms and he flinched

moving away.
Ntongolozi: what are you threatening her with?

Nqoba: nothing mma relax

He wore the apron and he continued cooking,

Ntongolozi came to join Anesu and they watched
Nqoba cook while they had a chat.

The rest of the Dube brothers cane downstairs from

their rooms, the only person out of the brothers
who does not live inside the palace is Nqoba. He
loves his own space and piece which is why he built
a huge randovel for himself.

Nathi: this is reason I always love visiting my

brother and instead of him appreciating my visits he
call me nuisance
He went to kiss him mother on the cheek and Vezo
along with Fiso did the same.

Nqoba: you are a nuisance Zinathi

Nathi: pheka lapho angikhulumi nawe wena shlama

( concentrate on your pots I'm not even talking to
you idoit)

Nqoba: wena you are forgetting whose older here

Nathi: mma whose older me or Nqoba?

Ntongolozi: you baby

Nathi: thank you MaDube

he smoelsmiles s widely.
Anesu: are they always like this?

Ntongolozi: they are even more chaotic

Anesu: I can already imagine

They moved their convisation to the living room and

Nqoba continued to cook with help from Vezo,
Nathi was like a baby next to his mother wanting
her to cuddle him but he had none of it.

The food was ready and they all gathered around

the dinning table, they held hands and they prayed.

Them: amen
Then there was the sound of the eating utensils
meeting with the plates, Anesu had her first spoon
and moaned at how tasty they food was.

Ntongolozi: I told you didn't I?

Anesu: this tastes great

Vezo: wait till I cook

Ntongolozi: I raised chefs and I'm sure you will leave

thus house knowing a few things or two

Anesu: I hope I do

silence.
Lungani: Nqobuthando, how are things going
between you and MaNgubane?

Nqoba: can we not talk about her right now? I want

to digest my food proparly

Lungani: why don't you want to speak abiut your

wife? I deserve to know what's going on

Nqoba: why don't you call her and ask her since you
guys talk a lot these days, you'd swear she's about
to be your future wife...mma you should keep your
eyes open

he took a sip on his drink and Nzwakele was already

boiling, he bangs the table and everyone quickly
drops there utensile except Anesu.

Lungani: you are disrespecting me right now boy

Nqoba: I'm just telling you the truth, you started the
whole topic and I finished it I don't get what more
do you want from me

Lungani: I want you to loosen that stupid attitude of

yours

Nqoba: I'm afraid I took after you, loose it first and I

will do the same

Lungani stood up from his seat and points his finger

at Nqoba who used a napkin to wipe his mouth, he
looks deep into his father's eyes and Ntongolozi
held her husband's hand.

Ntongolozi: Nzwakele calm down we have a guest

and we can't give her such an image about our
family
Lungani: I don't care about the stupid guest, she's
the reason that he has become like this, she is the
reason he forgot his ways and the way we raised
him

Nqoba: I'm full

he got up from his seat and he wipes his hand, he

walks out with his hands inside his pocket and
Ntongolozi breaths out.

Ntongolozi: couldn't you at least hold your anger in

this once Lungani? I'm tired of you and your son
scratching each other like a cat and dog

She sighs deeply and held the bridge of her nose,

she shook her head and she stood up.
Ntongolozi: good night I'm going to sleep

She went upstairs and the King also left following

his wife trying to apologise to her, the first day
when Nqoba arrives it's always like this, fights back
to back.

Vezo sighs and stood up.

Vezo: Anesu you should take some rest and don't

mind whatever happen or what was being said on
this table

Fiso: I will go check on Nqoba

Vezo&Fiso: Good night Anesu

They left and Nathi claps his hands.

Nathi: Family drama be making you want to commit
suicide, kidding

he laughs and he stood up, he went to give Anesu a

kiss on the forehead.

Nathi: good night Sis'omncane

He went upstairs to his room, the servant cane to

gather the plates and Anesu assisted. She went
upstairs once she was done and she slept.

NARRATIVE
[THE FOLLOWING DAY]
Nqoba woke up in the morning and he made his
bed, he opens the curtains in his randovel and he
went to take a cold shower. He slept while feeling
angry yesterday after the convisation that took
place yesterday in the dining table.

After he showered he lotioned his body and he

wore a pair of navy blue ovaries with a white t-shirt,
he wore his black and white adidas three line. he
felt in the mood of doing heavy work but first her
had to eat, he went to the main house which was
the palace.

he got inside and he was welcomed by a smell of

something sweet, he went to the kitchen and he
found a huge bowl filled with muffins and Anesu
was busy mixing some flour with Ntongolozi taking
out the muffins from the oven.

Ntongolozi smiles when he see Nqoba.

Ntongolozi : good morning my boy

Nqoba: morning mma...Anesu

Anesu smiles and waves a hand then continued with

what he was doing.

Ntongolozi: what are you going to do today?

Nqoba: I'm going to check the farm and doing a

little gardening then shorten the horns of the cows

Ntongolozi: we missed having you around

Nqoba took a plate and he started dishing up some

muffins for himself, he pours himself some coffee
from the coffee machine and be sat down having
his breakfast.

Once he was done eating he went to wash his plate

and his father came downstairs, Nqoba left the
room and Ntongolozi sighs.

Lungani: he is still angry abiut yesterday?

Ntongolozi: wouldn't you be angry?

Lungani: I don't know

he shrugs and he went to give his wife a kiss.

Anesu: morning Mr Dube

Lungani: morning, I have meetings back to back so I
will see you during the evening

Ntongolozi: okay have a great day

he left and they continued to bake, the other

brothers came downstairs and Nathi along with Fiso
went to help Nqoba with the work that had to be
done.

Vezo was busy in the living room with his laptop

and he was really focused, he did not want to get
distracted. He quickly stood up and he went to
outside looking for Nqoba, he found him busy in the
garden and he used signals to tell him that they had
to talk about something important.

Vezo: I have been searching and...

...

While Anesu was busy having a muffin since they

just baked the last tray of muffins, Ntongolozi was
seated with a paper and pen in hand as if she was
writing a list.

Ntongolozi: Anesu baby can you call Nqoba for me?

I want him to do something for me

Anesu: where is he mma?

Ntongolozi: look for him at the garden or anywhere

around you will see him

Anesu: okay...

She stood up and she went outside looking for

Nqoba, she saw him standing with Vezo and she
stepped closer as they could not see her because
they had their backs facing her side.

She unintentionally eavesdropped on their

convisation.

Vezo: I'm telling you the truth

Nqoba: are you sure it's Them?

Vezo: she has the same name that she gave you and
it happens that they live around eastern cape

Nqoba brushed his head.

Vezo: and I can't be the one who tell her that we

found her family
Anesu's heart skips a beat as she smiled widely
because she knew very well who they where talking
about.

Nqoba: we will tell her

Vezo: when Nqoba because she has been longing to

be with her family and she deserves to know

Nqoba: not now *clears throat* let's hide it from

her and we will tell her some other time...I don't
know...

he sighs.

Vezo: Nqoba are you even hearing yourself....shit!

when he turns around he saw Anesu sta ding there
with tears in her eyes, Vezo taps Nqoba on the
shoulder and he turns around.

Nqoba: FUCK! Anesu....

She steps closer and she slaps him hard on the face,
he held his cheek and looks at her.

Vezo: Anesu you shouldn't...

Anesu: don't tell me I shouldn't slap him? you want

to hide that you found my family? how selfish can
you be? I thought that maybe you were getting
better but this is really messed up...

She wipes her yes and Nqoba tried to open his

mouth but Anesu slaps him on the other cheek one
more time, he looks at her with his eyes bloodshot
red.

Nqoba: Anesu i can explain...

Anesu: you can explain how selfish you are?

you...you...

She clicks her tongue and she walks back inside the
palace with tears blinding her sight, she passed the
kitchen.

Vezo: you see what you did?

he clicks his tongue and left, Nqoba stood there

with his hand on top of his head and he cursed out
loud throwing his cap on the floor.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 19
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

staying I regret blabbering all that out would be the

weakest thing I would ever think because I hate
myself at this moment for making her cry. I just
stood there for a moment with the burning
sensation of her slaps which she landed on my
cheek filled with lots of anger. In fact I understand
her pain and I am being selfish honestly but I can't
really imagine a word were she's not in it, I'm not
ready yet to let go of her and on top of that I
wanted to do something for her and her family
before talking her there but I guess I thought of
myself instead of her feelings.

She has been ignoring me the whole day and her

giving me that look of hers which shows the anger
she feels deep down really triggers something in
me...it makes me want to put a bullet right on my
brain but also....fuck Nqoba what were you
thinking?

I thought while walking inside the kraal, my family

owns more than a thousand castles but we have
only hundred at the residence. I was with Nathi and
Fiso, we were planning on shortening the horns of
all the cartels so they are not sharp.

Nathi: Nqoba you don't seem to be here, you are

here physically but spiritually you are somewhere
else

I rub the back of my head and bite my lower lip as

my stupid thought crept inside my mind, I cursed at
the button of my breath and sighed.

Nqoba: it is nothing really

Nathi: don't tell me it's nothing...

Nqoba: Nathi I just told you it's nothing so stop

nagging and let's get over and done with this, I
don't want to be here any longer

I close my eyes and breathe a little bit wearing out

the anger I was about to take out on my brother,
Nathi talks a lot and he makes me want to explode
when he starts with his stupidity.

We started to shorten the horns of the cartels and

trust me we were struggling, Fezo managed to
capture this black bull which also had to have it's
horns shortened.
you could see that the bull was not in the mood and
Nathi also held the rope along with other two man
as they pulled the bull closer.

As I approached to start cutting it's horns, I don't

know how or maybe today I have bad luck following
me all over. Nathi and the guy he was pulling the
rope with lost grib resulting to the bull to
approaching me in great speed with its horns
pointing at me, the bull scooped me with its horns
and I felt a sharp pain as it tossed me behind it's
back making me to fall down on the kraal filled with
cow dug.

The guys quickly picked up the rope and pulled it,

the bull stopped looking at me with its feets digging
holes on the ground.

Fiso quickly rushed to my side and helped me get up

from the ground.
Fiso: are you okay? you are bleeding

he looks at the scratch which wasn't that deep but a

lot of blood was coming out.

Nqoba: I'm fine

I applied pressure on the wounds and I limped out

of the kraal I noticed Anesu standing there with her
arms folded, When her eyes met with mine she
walks back inside the house. Why won't she talk to
me but she keeps staring at me when I'm not
watching?

The royal seer approached me laughing so hard that

a tear came out of his left eye, I look at him with
one eyebrow elevated and Fiso also looked
confused.
Nqoba: I don't get what is funny Mbhemu

Mbhemu: you have messed with the wrong person

and now the Gods are punishing you

Nqoba: what are the Gods punishing me for? what

are the bones telling you now?

Mbhemu: the bones told me everything before you

even came here and you are unaware of the this
special person...

I could feel my eyebrows furrow as I got even more

confused. what is this old man talking about? if he is
on with his usual riddles then I'm not in the mood,
I'm bleeding and in the toughest situation I don't
know how i will even get out of it.
Nqoba: what are you talking about Mbhemu?

Mbhemu: it's a story for another day right now go

take a quick bath will send someone over with some
herbs and warn water for that wound

Nqoba: I will be waiting

Mbhemu walks to his randovel and I made my way

to mine, I arrived and indeed I took a quick shower
just to get the smell of cow dug off my skin.

Once I was done I wore a pair of shorts and a black

t-shirt, I stood in front of the mirror looking at my
wound and I cursed as I touched it inflicting the
pain.
there was a knock on the door and I went to sit on
the couch, it must be one of the servants Mbhemu
sent like he promised.

Nqoba: you may enter

I should and placed my legs of the table which was

in front of me, the door slowly opened as if the
person was afraid to come inside.

Unexpectedly the person whom I did not think

would be the one to enter from that door just found
her way into my randovel, she had a serious look
and she walked in with a bowl steaming mist as she
placed it on top of the table and sat next to me.

Nqoba: Anesu...

She interrupts me.

Anesu: I also wasn't planning on seeing your face
after eavesdropping on the convisation you had
with your brothers so don't make this even harder
then it's already is

She said avoiding eye contact.

Nqoba: let me explain

Anesu: I don't want to hear your explanation

She dips the cloth inside the warm to hot water and
squeezed the water out of the towel, she looks at
me as if she was asking for my permission. I nod and
she lifts up my shirt, she swallowed as she gently
placed the cloth on my wound and I flinched in pain
despite her gentleness.
She looks at me.

Anesu: sorry...

She slowly cleaned my wound and I kept my eyes

glued on her each time, I enjoyed the fact that she
felt like crying each time I complained or flinched in
pain, I liked that despite being scared of being in
close contact with a wound she's doing it anyways.

She applies some cream on my wound and she puts

a plaster, she gathers everything together and I
took her hand into mine.

Nqoba: I gave you the chance to attend to my

wound without interrupting you now give me a
chance to speak

Anesu: I don't want to Nqobuthando

She looks into my eyes and I immiedielty forgot
what I wanted to say...I'm joking though the way
she looks at me is so different from the way woman
usually look at me, she looks at me as if I'm the only
man in her eyes and she looks at me as if she's
reading deep into my soul and that creeped the hell
out of me the first day my eyes met with hers.

Nqoba: Anesu just hear me out okay?

Anesu: I'm listening Nqobuthando

we on the full name bases right now.

Nqoba: Anesu firstly I want to apologise, i did not

mean for you to hear that convisation and...
Anesu: of course

She rolls her eyes and I look at her this time I was
serious, she's interrupting me and it's irritating.
When a person interrupts you it makes you feel as if
you are stupid and did not know what you wanted
to say in the first place.

Nqoba: Zesuliwe...

She looks at me with her eye brow elevated up.

Nqoba: I know I did you wrong and you can be as

angry as you want, breath out fire but remember
who I am and don't ever...I mean ever interrupt me
when I'm talking
She looks at me as if I have gone mad and she
chuckles, this one is testing me with this attitude of
her.

Nqoba: the reason I said all that is because...

She stood up.

Anesu: I really don't want to hear your lame

excuse...

She attempts to leave and I pulled her arm before

she could walk away from me, I pulled her and she
sat on top of my lap. I placed my one hand on her
thigh and locked it there, I squeezed her thigh and
looked into her eyes.

Nqoba: don't ever turn your back on me while I'm

talking
She got lost in my eyes and I got lost in hers, damn
God took his time creating this creature in front of
me

Nqoba: I know I was being a little bit selfish for

saying those words but honestly speaking the
reason behind that selfish act of mine is that I
wanted to be a step ahead and rebuild your family
house so that when you arrive you stay in a good
environment, I wanted this to me a surprise but I
thought delaying your reunion with your family
would be selfish of me...

She rolls her eyes and looks the other direction with
tears coming out of her eyes, I really did hurt her by
wanting to hide such from her.

Nqoba: I'm also not ready to let you go yet, I really

enjoy spending time with you even if it's that little
time I don't care because it still counts...you make
me smile, you make me feel whole and you make
care, you bring this fear in me that I have never felt
before because trust me I'm never scared not even
by a mosquito...

She laughs wiping her tears.

Nqoba: but when you are involved I just have a lot

of fear, I feel like I'm loosing my mind and it doesn't
make sense because I just met you but I already
care so deeply for
you...MaMtshali....Mantshinga...Magalela....

Anesu: don't involve my ancestors in this

I laughed.
Anesu: but honestly though I was really mad a you
for wanting to hide something that mean the world
to me even though I'm not quite sure that I should
or shouldn't believe your reasons...

Nqoba: I'm not lying Anesu...

I slowly rub my hand on her thigh and she looks at

her thigh then back at me, she breathes with her
eyes closed and she opens them.

Anesu: I want to meet my family

Nqoba: first thing in the morning I will take you to

meet your family I promise

Anesu: thank you...

I look into her eyes and my hand moved from her
thigh up to her cheek, I cupped her left cheek which
was cold with my left hand and she closed her eyes.

Anesu: your hand is warm

Nqoba: thanks to your thighs for keeping it warm

I smirk and she kept the eyes contact, I slowly

brought my face closer to hers and I could feel her
breathing change as my eyes stared at her pink lips.
my thumb slowly rubbed her button lip and when I
was about to kiss her she shook her head and
moved back.

Anesu: Nqoba I have never kissed anyone in my

entire life
I widely open my eyes staring at her and her cheeks
flush turning red, I remember...

Nqoba: it's okay just follow my lead

Anesu: what if i mess up?

I chuckles and perk her lip.

Nqoba: you felt how simple that way?

She nods and giggles.

Nqoba: now relax and follow my lead okay?

She nods one more time and we both brought our

faces closer, we met each other half way and I
slowly gave her kiss. For a second she just stood still
with her body all tense, I decided to used my free
hand to squeeze her thigh making her to slightly
open her mouth giving me proper excess. She
responds to the kiss and we both suck each other's
lips pulling out each second, then I introduced the
tongue and she quickly got a hang of things as her
body loosens up and our tongues fight for
domination.

I kiss her passionately and I squeezed her thigh, she

released a low moan and I felt the other part of my
body getting hard as a rock. I pull out from the kiss
and looks at her, she bites her lower lip and looks at
me in the eyes.

She sat proparly with her legs on either sides and

my hands slowly moving to grab her ass, I grab her
ass as if it was the only good thing I was good at, I
grab her one more time because her nyash was
really grabable and soft which made me even more
harder.
Her fingers at the back of my neck and she bites her
lower lip one more time, she smashed her lips into
mine and I gladly devoured her lips as if I haven't
kissed in a million years. Her lips are so soft and
warm, I gently bite her lower lip and I pull it,
continuing to hungrily devour her lips with my
hands moving up and down her ass, slowly bursting
and giving her little grabs.

I pull out and I moved to her neck, I plant wet kisses

on her neck and I reached her weak spot. I can tell I
reached her weak spot because the way she
grabbed the back of my neck and released that low
moan of her. I stopped kissing her neck and I look at
her then down at the dress she was wearing which
had a a ribbon tied proparly.

I pull one part of the ribbon and it untangles, she

looks at me as I slowly opened the dressed
revealing her medium sized breasts and her flat
belly.

this woman has one sexy body which leaves me

wondering why she sometimes feels insecure, I can
easily spot an insecure girl and Anesu is insecure yet
she is down to earth...she's....fuck!

She got off me.

Anesu: I shouldn't be doing this...I shouldn't...

She covers herself up and I got off the couch, she

kept shaking her head while making her ribbon
once again and I pulled her closer, stared deep into
her eyes.

Nqoba: I would never force you into doing

something you don't want
Anesu: how can you tell that I want all of this?

Nqoba: your body is telling me everything I want to

know...

Anesu: which is?

Nqoba: you want more...

She looks away and I know she's about to lie.

Anesu: I don't...

Nqoba: you don't?

Anesu: I don't
She looks into my eyes and I chuckle, I pull one part
of the ribbon and it untangles once more exposing
her well built body. She's not stopping me one...

I lift her up and carried her in bridal style, she's not

resisting two...

I placed her on top of the bed and I took my shirt, I

got on top of her and she wraps her legs around my
waist...two? she's locking me in and her body sold
her out once more. I start by planting wet kisses on
her neck down to her chest till reaching her breast
which I gladly sucked as I felt her breath change, her
chest pumping up and down a little bit to fast with
her heart racing.

I look up at her and chuckle.

Nqoba: relax, I won't have sex with you I just want

to pleasure you
with that being said I slide her panty to the side and
she was super wet, I don't know a person who has
been sold out by her body in such a way, her being
wet tells me that she has been wanting this and
trust me she will get it.

Nqoba: you are so wet...

I hisssed and slowly started to play with her clit, she

jumped and moved back a little. I gave her a kiss
and pulled out, looked into her eyes as she bites her
lower lip holding in her moans.

"mmm..." she closed her eyes biting her lower lip

even harder as I slowly increased the phase
applying pressure on her clit, she opens her mouth
gasping for air.
"stop holding your moans in," I ordered and she
shook her head biting her lower lip, this one thinks
I'm here to play.

I nibble on her clit with my two fingers and I

increased the phase even harder pressing on her clit
making her receive shock waves from up her spine
and a moan escaped her mouth.

"ahhh."

I groaned as I watch her struggle to maintain

herself, why is she fighting with her moans? I want
to hear her moans...

"ahhh ahhh Nqobu...."

She opens her eyes and looks at me as I continued
to rub her clit, she look as at me with sweat on her
forehead.

"I want to hear you, moan for me..."

I press on her clit.

"ahhh...Nqo...aahhh....please," she moans

I play with his clit as if I was a th playing for the

crowd, but there's no crowd to feast themselves to
her angelic moans just my ears and my hard
manhood.

"ahhh...aahhh...aahhh....mmmh..."
She bites her lower lip and I groan.

"I want....aaaahhh,"

"release? go ahead..."

She bites her lower lip and shook her head, I applied
pressure on her clit and I could feel her body getting
tense as she tightened her legs around my waist,
the next I could feel warm liquid on my hand.

She laid there breathing heavily, she unwraps her

legs from my waist. I suck her breasts and I went in
between her legs, in between her thighs and down
there was the wettest, most slippery juices I have
ever seen.

Anesu: Nqoba what are you...

She moans when she felt my tongue touching the
inside on her vagina, I suck her clit and I placed her
one leg on my shoulder just so I can suck deeper,
she's so wet...and tastes so good.

"Nqoba...." she moans out my name and I groan as I

continued to eat her up, she grabs my head. I even
forgot that I was injured, she moans once more.

I part her walls with my two fingers and continued

to eat her up as her moans grew louder each
second, I swear I must have nutted on my pants
because the way those moans keep making my cock
twitch really worries me.

She squarts on my face and my face, I cleaned her

up and she laid on my chest, When I look at her she
already had dozed off.
I shook my head and kissed her on the forehead.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 20
NARRATIVE (unedited)

Anesu spent the rest of the afternoon in Nqoba's

Randovel sleeping on top of his chest enjoying the
moment to her fullest, it got late and Nqoba got out
of the bed and he went to take a shower. He got
out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around
his lower body with water dripping on his body as
he drys his hair with a towel.

Anesu slowly opened her eyes waking up and she

did not move a single inch as she started to feast
her eyes to the beautiful sight of Nqoba who stood
in front of the mirror admiring his body. Anesu
opened her eyes and rubs her eyes, her eyes got
glued to the manly figure standing across the room
with a towel wrapped around his lower body, his
back revealed showing his masculinity and she
found herself biting her lower lip.

She wanted to notify Nqoba that she was awake but

she was to late, Nqoba dropped the towel on the
floor and Anesu gasped as she saw her cock singling
right in between his legs, his butt cheeks exposed to
her and she just giggles.

Nqoba lotioned his body and he got dressed, he

firstly wore his Calvin Klein boxers followers by
black sweatpants and as he was about to wear the
white vest he noticed Anesu staring at him through
the mirror, he chuckles as he eyes parsed deep into
his skin and he turned around as he fully wore the
vest.
Nqoba: has anyone ever told you how rude it is to
stare at someone while they dress

he says with a smirk on his face and Anesu swallows

as she moved her eyes from his visible dick print to
his gorgeous brown eyes, she bites her lower lip.

Nqoba: you have something to say?

She shook her head.

Nqoba: did you lose your speech?

Anesu: no I did not why would...

He raised his hand to stop her [Link].

Nqoba: that's much better, learn to use your words

Anesu: what time is it?

She sat up straight stretching her body and rubbing

her eyes, Nqoba took his phone from the table and
he checked the time.

Nqoba: it's half past seven

Anesu: why did you not wake me up? I slept for that
long?

She starts panicking as she got up picking up her

dress from the floor and wearing it, Nqoba moved
from across the room and he held her by the waist
and pulled her closer looking into her eyes.

Nqoba: stop panicking and relax

Anesu: how can I relax? I told your mother I would
help her in preparing dinner...

Nqoba: we still have a few days left to spend here,

you can help mother some other time

Anesu: Nqoba you don't understand, what would

she say when she hears that I made out with her
son? in her presence

Nqoba: it's not like she was in the room watching

everything we were doing

Anesu: where is you sense morality? you are

stupid...move away from me

She gently pushed his away from her body and he

quickly pinned her against the wall with his body
glued to her, he clenched his jaw and made her look
at him.

Nqoba: who are you calling stupid and who are you
talking in that manner?

Anesu: why are you asking such obvious questions,

I'm talking to you Nqobuthando because right now
you are acting reckless, you have a wife and yet you
are...

Nqoba: she's not my wife...yet...unless I decide to

put a ring on her finger but till then...

Anesu: till then I'm will be your destruction huh?

She says as she made her ribbon on her dress and

Nqoba looks at her.
Nqoba: why are you putting words in my mouth?

Anesu: I'm not putting any words in your mouth,

you will feel as if I am because you were thinking of
me as a destruction

Nqoba: you are not a destruction

Anesu: you will say that vele...

he steps closer and he held her by the chin making

her to look up at him, she looks into his eyes and
she looks away and sucked her teeth. Nqoba
clenched his jaw line.

Nqoba: don't look away Anesu look at me

Anesu rolls her eyes and Nqoba bites his lower lip
frustrated because he hates when she paints him as
a bad person in every situation.

Nqoba: Look at me...

She sighs and looks at him as if she was bored.

Anesu: what?

Nqoba: you are not a destruction Anesu, you

presence in my life is of a great value in my heart...If
I were asked to choose the person I would spend
my time with it would be you...only you

Anesu: why would it be me? out of all people...

Nqoba: let's just say I sort of like you

Anesu: you like me in what way?

She smiles.

Nqoba: in such a way that...

There was a knock on the door and the door opens,

Vezo walks in and he looks at the position they
were both in. He looks into Nqoba's eyes and Nqoba
steps back, He looks at Anesu and lowers his eyes
then cleared his throat.

Vezo: mother asked me to call you

Nqoba: dinner is ready?

Vezo: almost ready...

Nqoba: we will be there in a few minutes

Vezo nods and he was about to leave, he turns

around as if he left something out.

Vezo: ohh Anesu mother is worried sick about you

and whatever that happened between the two of
you make sure that father does not find out...

he walks out and Anesu starts panicking all over

again.

Anesu: you see? I told you...your mother and I had

plans and you came in between our plans

he hits him on the chest and she wore her shoes,

She approached the door and she left Nqoba's
randovel. Nqoba just shook his head slightly and he
made his bed, he took his phone and went to the
main house which is of course the palace.

...

Anesu walks out thinking of an explanation she

would say since Vezo stated She has been looking
for her, She knows that she is bad at lying and that
freaks her out. She arrived at the door step as she
shivered because of the cold breeze which made
her feel cold, she starts wishing that Nqoba was
present because he is very warm.

She walks inside and as she walked deep inside

reaching the living room, where Lungani was seated
on his usually couch with a glass of whiskey while
focused on the television with his sons quite as if a a
gun was being pointed on thuer heads. That is how
afraid theu are of their father, he has this dark aura.
He shifts his direction and he looks at Anesu, She
swallows and played with her fingers walking with
her head down as she continued to feel the Kings
eyes.

Ntongolozi: Anesu...oh my God I searched for you

the whole day

Anesu pouts feeling bad she was about to lie to an

adult.

Anesu: you were? I'm sorry I was captivated by this

beautiful palace and I was looking around you
know...

Ntongolozi steps closer with a grin on her face and

Anesu's palms started sweating.

Ntongolozi: are telling me the truth?

Anesu: I am telling the truth...do you feel like I'm
lying?

Ntongolozi's grin grew even wider and she steps

closer to Anesu, She took one sniff at her and she
smiles revealing her Colgate white smile.

Ntongolozi: I know that smell and only one person

smells the way you smell...

Anesu: you must be mistaking the scent

Ntongolozi shook her head.

Ntongolozi: you smell like...Nqobuthando

His cologne filled her nostrils as he stood behind her
with his hands inside his pocket, he looks down at
Anesu and smirks.

He cleared his throat.

Nqoba: mma when are we eating?

Ntongolozi: did you marry me? why are you asking

me about food as if I work for you...

Nqoba: sthandwa sami I did not mean it that way

Ntongolozi: firstly you take the poor girl to

wherever you hid her...

Nqoba: mma I did not hide her anywhere

Ntongolozi: so where was she the whole afternoon?

Nqoba: I'm sure she can give you that answer

Anesu: let me go take a shower

She quickly rushed upstairs and Nqoba laughs under

his breath, Ntongolozi slap Nqoba on the chest and
Nqoba steps back with a huge smile on his face.

Ntongolozi: you better not be playing with the poor

girl

Nqoba: what are you talking about mma?

he leans on the counter and watched his mother

continue with the pots.
Ntongolozi: I hate it when you act stupid, you love
that girl and you will keep on acting stupid and you
will loose your chance with that girl

Nqoba: your husband is getting me married did you

forget that?

Ntongolozi: don't you have a choice Nqobuthando?

She looks at her son and he sighs.

Nqoba: I do but you know how father can be, once

he says something should be done he doesn't want
someone to add into or go against his will

Ntongolozi: you are a grown man and you are fit to

make decisions of your own, you are also soon to be
King what kind of a King will you be if you at still
struggling to make a decisions concerning your
feelings

Nqoba deeply sighs.

Ntongolozi: think about it...

Nqoba: yohhh

Ntongolozi: why you think about it set up the table

for me and call your brothers to help you

Nqoba took some plates and he went to the living

room to call his brothers, he avoids looking at his
father even though he looked at him.
Nqoba: Nathi, Fiso and Vezo mother is asking you
rascals to set up the table

Nathi was the first to stand up and the rest of the

brothers followed, Nzwakele cleared his throat.

Lungani: boy come here

Nqoba clenched his jaw line, he despises it when he

starts calling him a "boy" but he went to sit down
on an empty couch and focused of the tiles.

Lungani: what's happening between you and that

girl?

Nqoba: again Nzwakele her name is Anesu

Lungani: why do you care if I call her a hoe or a
bitch?

Nqoba: she's none of those things, you like being

respect so I suppose you should learn how to
respect others

Nzwakele chuckles.

Lungani: so what's happening between you and

Anesu?

Nqoba: nothing baba

Lungani: do you see "fool" written on my forehead?

Nqoba shook his head.

Lungani: you are going to marry MaNgubane

Nqoba: but Nzwakele let's consider...

Lungani: there's us nothing to consider, whatever

Mbhemu told you is a lie...

Nqoba: what Mbhemu told me? the royal seer

didn't tell me anything

Lungani paused for a moment.

Lungani: when was the last time you spoke to

MaNgubane?

Nqoba: I don't remember and I don't care

Lungani: that's your future wife, your queen

Nqoba: a Queen I did not choose

Anesu came downstairs dressed in her long pyjamas

and Nqoba looks at Anesu, their eyes locked and
Nzwakele cleared his throat.

Lungani: forget about that and focus on the future

"what if she's my future?" he says in his heart.

Nqoba nods.

Nqoba: are you done?

Lungani: that's how I taught you?

Nqoba clenched his jaw.

Nqoba: can I be excused?

he gnashed his teeth and his father nods, he stood

up and he went to help his brothers who were
already done.

He notified Vezo speaking to Anesu, they shared a

hug and Nqoba's anger grew deeper or in other
words he got jealous.

Vezo: I know that look...

he says approaching him.

Nqoba: what were you talking about?

Vezo chuckles.
Vezo: I knew it, we were just talking about the
convisation she mistakenly heard nothing to get all
jealous about

Nqoba: okay...

he sat down opposite Anesu, he looks at her and he

smiles, she rolls her eyes before smiling...more like
blushing. Nathi noticed the way they were looking
at each other and he showed Fiso.

Nathi: haibo! haibo!

he shouts and he made this loud cheering sound

along with Fiso, they stop when Nzwakele walked in
and Nathi started humming a gwijo song.

Nathi: bashayeli zandla bayathandana...

he wiggles his eyebrows and Nqoba gave his a dead
stare which was enough to make him sit down
immiediately.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 21
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

Once they were done eating Nzwakele left the table

fist and he went upstairs, it was obvious that he was
going to sleep. Anesu offered to do the dishes and
Ntongolozi assisted while Nathi, Vezo and Fiso went
to their room. Nqoba sat in the dining table having
his glass of whiskey from his father's collection.
Ntongolozi walks out of the kitchen and she looked
at her son shocked that he is still up at this hour,
she shook her head.

Ntongolozi: you ruining your beauty sleep for a girl?

Nqoba: man don't have a beauty sleep, we don't

need it because we took after our mother and
father

Ntongolozi chuckles.

Ntongolozi: don't do something I wouldn't do

She walks upstairs and Nqoba stood up from his

seat with the empty glass in his hand and he went
to the kitchen, he looks at Anesu who was done
washing the dishes, he stood behind her and he
gently drops the glass inside the water.
Anesu looks at him.

Anesu: can't you see that I'm done

Nqoba: there is still a glass left

Anesu: which you are going to wash...

Nqoba: I'm to lazy can you do it for me

Anesu: it's not your lucky day because afraid I'm

also lazy so you can go ahead and do it yourself

She reached for the table cloth and Nqoba beats

her to it, she turns around facing him and looks into
his eyes.
Anesu: give me back the cloth Nqoba

Nqoba: wash the glass first

Anesu: why can't you do it yourself? are you unable

to clean after you have eaten

Nqoba: with my tongue yeah i clean up after eating

he bites his lower lip step closer till their bodies

touched, he pressed his buldge on her and she start
feeling nervous.

Nqoba: wash the glass...

Anesu: I'm not doing that Nqobuthando, the cloth?

he shook his head and Anesu sighs, she simply felt
like she had no choice so she wipes her hands on his
vest with her hands on his chest. He grabs her by
the wrist with his one hand while her hands were
on his chest, he pulls her closer and she starts
breathing heavily as she breathes on his face.

She looks at his lips and looks up into his eyes then
back at his lips, He smirks bringing his lips closer to
her and she slightly opens her mouth gasping for air
and closed her eyes. He rubs his nose against hers
and she whimpers as she could feel his breath, he
moved back and clenched his jaw line. He moves to
her neck and starts nibbling on it, planting wet
kisses till he reached her weak spot. She let's out a
moan and he groans as his erection grew harder,
she faced the ceiling while he plants those kisses on
her neck, she could feel a flood of piqued forming in
between her legs and her blood boiling.
He stops kissing her neck and he bites her lower lip
approaching her lips once more, he looks at her
with a little satisfaction that she was led on and
ready to kiss him.

Nqoba: I'm not going to kiss you till you wash the
glass

She opens her eyes which were even smaller then

before and reddish, she looks at him and bites her
super wet lips.

Anesu: I'm not doing that Nqoba I told you and I'm
going to stand there

Nqoba bites his lower lip liking that she is able to

stand her ground and be stubborn, he slight smiles.
He let's go of her wrist and she looks at him.
Nqoba: don't look at me with those eyes

Anesu: what eyes?

Nqoba: those bedroom eyes...fuck!

he cursed and he steps back before he gets to

ahead of himself, he leans on the counter and folds
his arms, she looks at his visible erection and she
wonders what lies deep under that sweatpant.

Nqoba: do you want to watch a movie with me?

Anesu: I want to go to sleep Nqoba, wash this glass

and drain the water clean the sink and...

Nqoba: I know what to do baby girl calm down

Anesu: I was being calm anyways...

Nqoba: come sleep with me then

Anesu: I want to sleep alone today

Nqoba: you don't want me to cuddle you to sleep?

Anesu: have I ever wanted you to cuddle me?

Nqoba: do you remember when you had a bad...

Anesu: okay okay I remember don't get into details

but I'm not sleeping with you

Nqoba: okay give me a hug then

Anesu claps her hands.

Anesu: why are you being so demanding?

Nqoba: I'm not being demanding

Anesu: you should hear yourself...

She laughs and stops realising his staring.

Nqoba: you know we are the only people left in

here...

Anesu: so?

Nqoba: come give me a hug so I can sleep piecefully

Anesu: you can sleep peacefully without a hug

Nqoba: I don't think I will be able to sleep proparly

Anesu: say please...

Nqoba's eyes widen.

Nqoba: for a hug? you are kidding right?

Anesu: absolutely things always go your way now

it's time for things to go my way

She folds her arms and looks at him, he laughs a

little shaking his head.

Nqoba: can I please get a hug MaMtshali

She blushed and slowly walks closer him, she wraps

her hands around his waist and he stops leaning on
the counter and stood up straight making Anesu to
stand on her toes, he wraps his arms around her
waist and buries his face on her neck, he pulls her
closer and rightly hugs her.

Nqoba: I'm glad you remember the other way of

hugging

Anesu chuckles and unexpectedly Nqoba scoops her

butt cheeks with his hands, he squeezed her ass and
he groans in satisfaction of how soft her ass was,
she smacks him.

Anesu: Nqoba!

Nqoba: that's for making me beg...

He sucks her neck and she moans, he squeezed her
ass even tighter and he pulls out from the hug, she
looks up at him with her hand on his chest.

Nqoba: and that was for not washing the glass like I
asked

Anesu: do I look like a maid to you?

Nqoba: no you look like Mrs Dube

Anesu: good night Nqobuthando

She rolls her eyes and she left Nqoba standing

there, she smiles as she walks away and she went to
her room to sleep.

...
Nqoba rinsed the glass and drained the water from
the sink like Anesu told her even though he knew
what he had to do. He walks out the palace with his
hands inside his pocket, He suddenly remembered
the convisation he had with his father so he decides
to go to the royal seer.

He walks to his randovel and he took off his shoes

before entering, he was about to open his mouth
when he heard Mbhemu's voice telling him to come
in.

He walks inside and he found him seated on the

mat, the randovel was filled with impepho which
was smoking all over the place.

Mbhemu: I have been expecting your visit

Nqoba: sawbona Baba

He is more like a father to Nqoba.

Mbhemu: though I did not expect you to come to

me while in that situation which might lead to your
death if you do a single mistake and mess this up

he points at his erection and Nqoba laughs a little.

Nqoba: I...

Mbhemu: don't explain yourself I get you, how

about we go out for a stroll

Nqoba: sure
They both got up and they walks out the randovel,
they walks around the palace. It wasn't that cold it
was bearable as they walked in the dark greeting
back each gaurds they passed and continuing with
their convisation.

Nqoba: I had a convisation with my father today

Mbhemu: none of those never end well, I'm

listening

Nqoba: in between the convisation we had he told

me that whatever you said to me was a lie, what
was he talking about because you never said
anything to me?

Mbhemu: he was talking about this special person I

keep telling you about...
Nqoba: who is this special person?

Mbhemu: the person who caused your manhood to

rise like zombie rising from the dead

Nqoba elevated his eyebrow confused at his

statement that he said and then he caught
everything.

Nqoba: Anesu?

The royal seer nods.

Nqoba: how is she special?

Mbhemu: did she tell you how she got here?

Nqoba: I can't remember proparly but I think she
said something about staying underwater for
twenty years and I laughed at her because that's
just wierd right? nobody can stay under water till
that long, I can even hold my breath for two
minutes

Mbhemu: she was able to make the impossible

possible because she is a water goddes

Nqoba closed his eyes raising his finger for the seer
to pause a little bit.

Nqoba: you are loosing me here Babu'Mbhemu

Mbhemu sighs.
Mbhemu: Do you remember the stories unused to
tell you about those goddesses who can control the
four elements?

Nqoba: yes I do remember those stories

Mbhemu: well those were not fairytales but true

stories, in this earth people are born with different
spiritual gifts and Anesu happens to have one of
those gift which involves the water which is another
reason why she was able to survive in water for
twenty years...

Nqoba: so you are telling me Anesu is a water

goddess and she did not tell me all this

Mbhemu: she did not tell you because she's not

aware of her capabilities...
Nqoba: why are you telling me all this now?

Mbhemu: because I was suppose to tell you the

minute you arrived but your father insisted that I
don't but since there is a lot that has been
happening between the two which should not
escalate to another level because there will be dire
consequences for that...

Nqoba: consequences for what?

Mbhemu: deflowering her

Nqoba chuckles.

Nqoba: the under ground gang is all over my

business now how did you that we almost...
Mbhemu: I have my way and I'm not about to
reveal those ways to you, all I can say is that Anesu
is a very important and special person person in this
family...

Nqoba:she's is important in what way?

Mbhemu: she is the one who your ancestors want

to sit on that throne besides you and give birth to
the children who will carry the legacy of this family,
she's the soul whom you are destined to be with
and you might have seen by today's instant that
both her ancestors and yours don't want to see her
in tears because they will have their own way of
punishing you and that scar you got from that bull is
proof of that...

Nqoba cursed under his breath.

Nqoba: so my soul mate was right next to me and I
did not know

Mbhemu: your brain did not know but your heart

did, your actions towards her spoke louder then
anything else...

Nqoba: and father wanted you to hide all this from

me so I can marry Nkanyezi?

The royal seer nods.

Nqoba: what business does he have with the

Ngubane family that he is so eager for me to marry
their daughter?

Mbhemu: I'm afraid I don't have the answer to that

question
Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: I don't know what I should do with the

information you just told me, even if I wanted to
marry Anesu I can't...the lobola's are already paid
and there's no going back

Mbhemu: I shouldn't say this but the ancestors

have everything planned out which is why you
should sit back and watch everything turn around to
your favour

Nqoba: so you are saying everything will turn

around to my favour?

Mbhemu: depends on what you favour...

he chuckles.
Mbhemu: it's getting late and you have a long day
tomorrow

Nqoba: you are right and thank you for telling me all
this

Mbhemu: it's not everything but at least you know

something

Nqoba: so you did not tell me the whole truth?

Mbhemu: the rest is not for me to reveal

he winks and he walks back to his randovel, Nqoba

stood there for a second and he stared at the moon.
He started thinking about everything the royal seer
said and wondered why his father wanted
everything to be hidden from him. He smiles as he
remembered the first day he met Anesu...He walks
back to his randovel and he slept while thinking of
what will happen next. Will he be with the one
whom her destined to be with or it will be the other
way around? well fate will decide as it has already
decided but there can always be a change in
fate...okay let me shut up before I spill the whole
plot unknowingly.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 22
NARRATIVE.

Anesu woke up early in the morning and she was

excited for thus day, she has been waiting for this
day and it has finely arrived. She's going to meet her
family all thanks to the Dube brothers who were
God sent in her life. She opened the curtains letting
in out the stiffness in the room and she made her
bed while humming, She took a long shower since
she had to wash her hair after unplaiting her hair
last night because she couldn't sleep.

She steps out of the shower and she took a clean

towel from the towels packed in the bathroom, she
dries her huge hair which does not want to get dry
at all. Her phone rang and she clicks her tongue not
because her phone rang but because she mistakenly
drops the towel on the floor.

She wraps a towel around her body and she stumps

her feet heading to the main room, she took her
phone out of the charger without checking the
caller ID.

Anesu: hello!

She sharply said and Ntethe just laughs.

Ntethe: girl why you answering the phone like that?

Anesu: it's my hair Ntethe, it's making me very

angry I can't even dry it proparly and it's giving me
problems

Ntethe: I wish I was there, I would have helped you

with your hair

Anesu: I know you would have which is why I miss

you, I can't even wait to see you again

Ntethe: I miss you too love, how are you doing and
how are they treating you over there?

Anesu giggles.
Anesu: firstly I will start with the big news

Ntethe: okay spit it out

Anesu: Vezo and Nqoba found my family and they

are taking me to meet them today

Ntethe screams over the phone and Anesu also

screams along with her in excitement

Ntethe: oh my God, I'm so happy for you darling

Anesu: thank you I'm also happy for myself even

though I'm a little nervous but I'm 100% sure that
my day will go well

Ntethe: you better get it will

Anesu: okay back to you other questions, they are
really welcoming here accept for the father he
doesn't like me and I already accepted the whole
thing

Ntethe: don't mind him at all his like that naturally

Anesu: he also give you that death threatening look

Ntethe: I have only met him once or twice and I'm

not even sure because I don't really pay that much
attention at him

Anesu sighs.

Anesu: I guess I'm the problem

Ntethe: you are not the problem trust me, how is

Nqoba treating you? is he still acting like a dick?
Anesu: don't swear Ntethe...

Ntethe: don't protect him he is a dick

Anesu: Nontethelelo!

She warns.

Ntethe: okay shiiish why you getting worked up? it's

not like he is your man or anything

Anesu: Ntethe I need to tell you something

Ntethe: NO!

She says as if she knows what Anesu wants to tell

her.
Anesu: please don't get angry or judge or say
anything negative because it won't change anything

Ntethe: you had sex with him?

Anesu: sies! no I did not have sex with him why

would you even think that...but we...we kissed and
he started doing these things with his tongue down
there and I have never felt this way ever before
Ntethe...He gives me butterflies each time he looks
at me and when he touches me he sends this
electrifying feeling to my body which I can't even
explain...

Ntethe: sthandwa sami you are you in love

Anesu scoffs.
Anesu: No I'm not, how can I be in love with him?

Ntethe: the way you explaining everything makes it

sound like you are

Anesu: I'm not Ntethe plus he is not even mine, he

is engaged and soon go be married to someone else
how I feel abiut him does not matter

Ntethe: denying it won't help

Anesu: Argh! I'm gonna drop the phone

Ntethe: alright alright fine I will stop nagging you

about it but all I'm going to say try to not get hurt

Anesu: Ntethe...
Ntethe: okay I'm sorry....

silence.

Ntethe: so after meeting your family what is next?

Anesu: honestly I don't know but I am looking

forward into staying a little bit longer this side or
maybe permanently since my whole life is here

Ntethe: so you are trying to tell me that I might not

see you again?

Anesu: I suppose I don't know, I can't come back

and be Nqoba's problem...I want to make
something out of myself and stop depending on
other people
Ntethe: I hear you I'm so going to miss you Anesu in
fact I miss you already and I want to give you a tight
squeeze

Anesu: I miss you...

Ntethe: okay let me not waste your time, I know I

will meet you soon and I want you to stay safe,
never be afraid to try new thing...remember that
we only live one and that I love you not as a friend
but as a sister

Anesu: I love you loads more Ntethe, you have

taught me a lot and I'm grateful

Ntethe: keep in touch, bye

Anesu: bye
She hung up and let's out a deep sigh, Ntethe was
the first person who was welcoming towards get
and gave her a feeling that she has a sister by her
side. She always had her back despite not knowing
her fully which is why she will never forget her.

She stood up from the bed and looks at herself in

the mirror, She exhaled not knowing where she will
start with her hair.

There was a knock on the door.

Anesu: you may come in

She says and Ntongolozi walks in, she smiles and

then laughs a little while approaching Anesu.

Ntongolozi: well good morning didn't know you had

a bird nest
She points at Anesu's messy Afro and Anesu laughs.

Anesu: morning mma and please don't make fun of

my situation, I want to cry as of this moment
because I don't know what to do

Ntongolozi: don't worry I will help you just give me

a second and I will be right back

She rushes out and Anesu went to wear a robe and

Ntongolozi came back with a hairdryer, hair
products, hairband and a comb.

Ntongolozi: now let's fix you up

Anesu giggles and sat down on the chair, Ntongolozi

starts untangling Anesu's hair gently and once she
was done, she starts blow drying it till it was dry.
She makes sections of Anesu's hair and she applies
the oil on her hair, she gently rubs it into her skull
and blow drys the hair once more.

She combs the hair.

Ntongolozi: you have got beautiful healthy hair

Anesu: thank you

Ntongolozi: I have always dreamt of this day, where

I will sit down and do one of my daughter's hair but
God decided to bless with boys only which I
appreciate but I am thankful that you got me to
wickeness how it would have felt to do my
daughters hair

She widely smiles.

Anesu: that sounds heart warming thank you for
doing my hair

Ntongolozi: any time

She says finishing the bun she made on Anesu's

hair, Anesu smiles looking at herself in the mirror.

Ntongolozi: I will see you downstairs

She left and Anesu lotioned her body, she wore a

long tight long short sleave dress revealing her
curves and showing off her ass. She wore a leader
jacket and a pair of Galaxyboy sandals she bought
while she was out with Ntethe.
She snaps a few mirror pictures with her phone and
went her favourite to Ntethe, who sent back heart
and kiss emoji.

Anesu giggles and she went downstairs, it looks like

everyone was already awake and breakfast was
about to be served as Fiso and Vezo set the table.

Anesu: Good morning everyone

Fiso: aww sis'omncane sawbona, you look beautiful

this morning

Anesu: was I ugly the other morning?

She folds her arms and Fiso scratches the back of

his head, Anesu laughs.
Anesu: I'm joking...

Fiso smiles.

Anesu: Thank you bhuti

Nathi: sisi I must say that you got one banging body
and I swear whoever lobola's you we will make
them pay a billion because wena you are one in a
million

He says rubbing his hands.

Anesu: I know you will do that bhuti, can I help you

busy with anything?

Vezo: ohh everything is ready but thank you

Nqoba walks in and Anesu closed her eyes as he
passed, placed his hand on her waist and squeezed
his hand there then continued to move heading to
wherever he went since she was unable to tell with
her eyes closed.

She took a sniff and she could smell his intoxicating

cologne which has filled the room, she opens her
eyes and clears her throat as she watched him kiss
his mother on the forehead and greeting his
brothers.

He roared out of laughter as he does a fist bump

with Nathi and he shifts his gaze to Anesu, he smiles
approaching her and she looks the other direction
trying to not show that she was not staring at him.

He got closer and his manly scent filled her nostrils,

she felt like going crazy, he taps her on the shoulder
and she doesn't look at him.
Anesu: I know you are here Nqobuthando

Nqoba: you know I really love it when you call me

by my full name

Anesu: okay...

Nqoba: I know you have been staring at me, I could

feel your eyes so look at me Anesu

She doesn't look at him.

Anesu: I don't see the need to look at you

Nqoba: you felt the need then now you will...don't

make me make you...
he got a little bit closer leaving a small gap between
them, she turns and looks at him. He smiles and
looks into her eyes, she folds immiedielty.

Nqoba: Good morning

Anesu: you spoke and spoke now you are saying

something you should have started with the minute
you opened your mouth to speak to me

Nqoba: I wanted to look into your eyes

Anesu laughs a little.

Anesu: you are dramatic for a guy but good morning

to you too

Nqoba: very well then

He pulls her chair for her and she looks around, the
Queen, King and the rest of the brothers are already
seated.

She could feel the Kings stare which is why she

won't look at him, she wanted to give Nqoba a slap
for doing this in front of everyone.

Lungani: can't she sit down on her own? why do you

have to pull a chair for her?

Anesu: Nqoba I can sit down on my own there's not

need

Lungani: you heard her

Nqoba does not pay attention at Nzwakele, he looks

into Anesu's eyes.
Nqoba: Sit down...

Anesu: I can...

Nqoba: don't make me repeat myself

he calmly said and she nods, she sat down and

Nqoba took a seat next to her. The King shook his
head, they prayed and then they had their breakfast
which was had convisation there and there.

Nqoba and Anesu walks out heading to Nqoba's car,

He unlocks the car and she quickly turns to face
him.

Anesu: can you please stop trying to make your

father to hate you even more
Nqoba: I don't care how he feels about you

Anesu: well I care

Nqoba: you honestly shouldn't and I also don't want

to talk about his, so can you stop

he snaps.

Anesu: I'm sorry

She opens the front seat door for herself and she
got inside, Nqoba sighs and he went to his side of
the car, He got inside and placed his hand on her
thigh. She looks at him weirdly and he squeezed her
thigh.

Nqoba: I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you

Anesu: okay

Nqoba starts the car and he drove out of the yard,

Vezo and Fiso following behind him. They offered to
accompany them to the village, the drive was really
long and they listened to the music that was
playing.

Nqoba lowered the volume and he steals a glance at

Anesu.

Nqoba: how are you feeling about today?

Anesu: I feel anxious

Nqoba: you are going to be just fine, relax

Anesu: I can't relax I don't even know how they will
feel when they see me, what if they curse me out
and call me a ghost, send me away and say I'm
lying, what if my mother is dead....

She paused as the car came to a halt so did the two

cars behind them, Nqoba turns to looks at her.

Nqoba: stop saying such okay? you are freaking me

out

Anesu: honestly though think about it, what if

something happened to them

Nqoba: when I told you we found your family I

meant that they were alive and breathing, stop
panicking okay? relax

Anesu: I don't think I can...my heart is...

He silences her with a kiss and she responds to the
kiss with her hand on his neck, his on her thigh and
squeezing it each opportunity he got as the kiss
grew even more passionate and emotions
filled...Nqoba's phone rang and he pulls out, he
looks at her in the eyes.

Nqoba: are you now relaxed?

Anesu nods and licks her lips then sat back with a
smile on her face, Nqoba answered the phone.

Vezo: Nqoba why did you stop the car is everything

okay?

Nqoba: yeah everything is alright

he hung up and starts driving, They arrived at the
village and people were up and down. Some
shouting for customers to buy their products, They
all paused and watch the cars drive by. They have
never seen such luxurious cars drive into their
village and some gossip with one another as they
point at the cars, some eager to see where the cars
were heading.

They parked outside the mad woman's gate, that is

the name they gave to Abuse ever since she started
being a nuisance in their lives. Anesu looks at the
house and she could see Mwandle outside doing
the dishes, tears stream down her cheeks and she
wipes them.

Nqoba: is it her?

Anesu nods.
Nqoba: you can do this, you got this

he says and the neighbours were eager to see the

person who will come out of the car, they stood still
as the door opens and Anesu steps out of the car.

One of the neighbours gasped.

"oh my God."

She went to the other neighbour and whispered to

her, she also gasped and Anesu started to receive a
lot of eyes from the village people. Nqoba steps out
of the car and his brothers did the same, Anesu
approaches the gate.

Mwandle got up from the tap and when she turned

and saw Anesu walking inside the gate, her heart
skipped a beat and she drops the plastic basin
which had dishes inside and she covered her mouth
shaking her head.

Mwando: no no no no no it's can't be...

She starts crying as Anesu steps closer with tears

coming out of her eyes, you could hear the loud
tapping of a stick not from afar, that's when Abuse
appeared and stood on the door wanting to know
why Mwandle dropped the dishes and if she was
okay.

Abuse: Mwandle why...nkulunkuku ongabonwayo

She covers her mouth with her one had when her
eyes met with Anesu's and it started raining, mind
you the sky was clear and the sun was out, Anesu
immediately ran to her little sister and scooped her
into a tight hug while she broke down. Mwandle
also broke down as she couldn't believe it but
started to believe it.

She pulls out of the hug and gave Mwandle a kiss on

the forehead, she looks at her mother whose
approaching them as she climbs down the steps.

Anesu: Thingokazi

Mwandle: Anesu...

She cries out loud and Anesu wipes her tears.

Anesu: it's okay I'm here now...there there...

She gave her a hug one more time and she turns to
her mother who was approaching, she ran to her
embrace.
Anesu: mama....

She starts weeping like baby in her mother's arms

and everyone had gathered to see all this, they
could not believe that it was the same girl that they
thought was dead.

Abuse: my little girl is it really you Anesu?

Anesu: yes it's me mama, I'm finally back home

Abuse: oh thank you Lord

She cries and kissed Anesu on the forehead, she

also pulls Mwandle and they share a tight hug while
they cried.
They all pull out from the hug and Abuse starts
coughing immensely.

Mwandle: mama you shouldn't have come out of

the house look now you are going to cough all night

Abuse: let me be

She breathes.

Abuse: how did you get here?

Anesu: they helped me mama

She points at the brothers and Nathi waves his hand

but Fiso quickly lowers Nathi's hand and Nathi rolls
his eyes and waves again.
Abuse waves her hand telling them to come and
they did just that, Nqoba snatches the hat out of
Nathi's head.

Nathi: I'm not stupid I was going to take it off

he mumbles to his brother.

Nqoba: Sanbona mma

Abuse: you must be the ones behind my daughter's

return, who are you?

Vezo: uhm...I'm Vezokuhle and these are my

brothers we come from the Dube royal family

Abuse's eyes widen.

Abuse: you are Ntongolozi's children?

Nqoba: yes we are mma

Abuse: thank you so much for bringing my daughter

home safe, I don't know what I would ever do to
repay you for thus but may God bless you

They thank Abuse.

Anesu: shall we go inside we have a lot to talk about

Nqoba: we will wait in the car

Mwandle: you can come in sir

Nqoba: it's Nqoba and honestly it's okay, it's your

family reunion so we will give you the space
Mwandle smiles.

Mwandle: thank you

Anesu spent half the day with her family and she
felt really happy, it finally stoped raining and
everyone in the village had something that they will
gossip about for years. Abuse has never been this
happy, she knew that Anesu was alive and she is
even happier that she never lost hope. On the other
hand Mwandle couldn't stop being a baby towards
her sister, even though the situation at their house
is not good but Anesu is more then grateful that she
got to meet her family.

it got late and Anesu had to leave but she will

return tomorrow for Christmas and of course baring
gifts which Nqoba promised to bring, She says her
goodbyes and she got inside the car.
Nqoba talked to the phone outside and once he as
done he got inside the car, his brothers cars drove
off and Anesu looks at him.

Anesu: thank you so much for making my biggest

wish come true, Nzwakele Ngyabonga

She gave him a tight hug and he plants a kiss on her

forehead.

Nqoba: anything for you

His phone rang but he decides to ignore it, he turns

to face Anesu with a smile on his face.

Nqoba: I had a surprise for you but is getting late

and we need to head home
Anesu: what was the surprise?

Nqoba: I thought that maybe we could go on a

picnic by my favourite spot

Anesu: you planned all that?

Nqoba nods.

Anesu: I wouldn't mind sparing a few hours plus it's

worth the celebration

Nqoba: are you sure?

Anesu: yes I'm sure let's go

They drove to this beautiful place near a waterfall, it

wasn't the same waterfall that she drowned on in
case you are wondering. There was a beautiful
picnic set up by the short grass which had snacks,
Anesu turned and smiled looking at Nqoba.

Anesu: you did this all for me?

Nqoba: I wanted to spoil you a little bit

Anesu: it's beautiful and I love it, thank you

Nqoba smiles.

Anesu: wait you left all this here? what if a lion

came and ate all this?

Nqoba: I did it an hour before you came out plus

someone was guarding it and there are no lions
around here
Anesu shrugs and they sat down, she enjoyed their
picnic which was filled with convisation which had
jokes there and there which made Anesu's cheeks
hurt from all the laughing, she has never felt this
happy like today.

Nqoba: you want to go swim?

Anesu: you mean in there? hell no I don't

Nqoba: come on it will be nice

Anesu: I did not bring anything to swim in

Nqoba: and that's the best part because niether did

I
Anesu: so no swimming right

Nqoba laughs and he quickly got up, he lifts Anesu

up from the floor and ran with her to the water
while she screamed. He got inside the water while
she warned her not to and he did not listen, he
dropped her inside the water and she got wet
immiedielty, she stood up since the water wasn't
deep and slashes water at Nqoba.

Anesu: look what you did, I'm wet now

Nqoba: say that last sentence again...

he steps closer to her and bites his lower.

Anesu: I'm wet now?

Nqoba smiles
Anesu: why are you smiling? are you smiling that
I'm wet...oh

Nqoba smirks and Anesu punches him on the chest.

Anesu: you pervert

Nqoba laughs and pulls her in for a kiss, she moans

as she welcomed his tongue in his mouth, they
shared a deep long one minute kiss which had them
breathing heavily as Nqoba got a boner and Anesu's
nipples got hard.

She pulls out from the kiss and looks at him, she
bites her lower lip.

Anesu: I'm still angry

Nqoba: I know you are not

he pecks her on the lips and she smiles then rolls

her eyes, he looks at her nipples and he gently lifts
up her dress and took it off her. He throw it outside
the water and it lands on the sand, he smiles and
she took off his shirt and threw it also, she wraps
her arms around his neck and looks deep into his
eyes.

Anesu: you do know that I'm not going back with

you right?

Nqoba's eyes filled with tears and he closed his eyes

looking down, Anesu cups his face and looks at him.

Anesu: hey don't cry...

Nqoba: I'm not crying some dust for into my eyes

Anesu giggles and pecks his lip.

Anesu: you in there water there is no dust

Nqoba: you can't see it

Anesu laughs.

Anesu: you are crazy but honestly though

Nqoba: come back with me

Anesu: my whole life is here with my family

Nqoba: what about me?

Anesu: what about you?

Nqoba: your life with me...

Anesu: you are getting married remember that?

Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: I do but I want...I want to be with you

Anesu: you have a fiance and she loves you so

much, I can't be the cause of you two breaking up, I
can't ruin another woman's marriege for my own
benefits I will live with the regret for the rest of my
life...I don't want you to break up with her because
of me...

Nqoba: but I want you not her

Anesu: the fooling around was fun but I'm also a
woman, I can't do that to Nkanyezi she might have
been the rudest person I have ever met but she
does not deserve all that

why does she have to be so good marn? why was

she created to be thus kind hearted, Nqoba bites his
lower lip.

Nqoba: I'm not ready to let go of you

Anesu: Nqoba please don't make this harder then it

already is...

Nqoba: it's not hard just be mine

Anesu unwraps her arms around his neck and shook

her head.
Anesu: can we go back now? I don't want to be here

She steps out of the water while covering her

breasts, she picks his her dress and soaks it in the
water trying to get rid of the sand that is covering it.

Nqoba cursed and got out of the water, he feels like

a full for asking her to his.

Nqoba: I got clothes for you in the car

Anesu: thank you

He went to get the clothes from the car and she

wore the t-shirt which smelled like his and
approached the car, the opens the boot and she sat
there drying her legs with a towel followed by her
hair.
Nqoba approached with a picnic busket and placed
it inside the boot avoiding eye contact with her, he
had his dry shorts on and Anesu made him look at
her, he was crying...Good GOD!

Anesu: Nqoba you are hurting me please don't...

Nqoba: I'm fine okay

Anesu: Nqobuthando...

he looks at her and she pulls him by the shorts, he

stood in between her legs. She did not know that he
had such emotions, he even cried and she knows
how deep this is to him but she's new in all this and
she can't just jump into a relationship without
knowing herself first, it's more like Nqoba will be
getting into a relationship with nobody.
Anesu: look at me...

She can't believe she's the one saying thus instead

of him, he looks at her.

Anesu: I'm sorry okay?

Nqoba bites his lower lip and just smashes his lip on
her, she resists at first but he slides his hands in
between her thighs and plays with her clit, she
moans and pulls out from the kiss but he pulls her
back wanting to make her suffer, she couldn't
handle the pressure so she cummed, he licks his
finger and he continues to devour her lips till they
were super red and her eyes small as fuck, his boner
messing with his feelings.
There was a car parked from afar which they
couldn't see, the person ropes down the window
and the person being Mr Dube. He orders the drive
to take a picture and clicks his tongue.

"take ma back to the palace," the car drove off

he moves away from her.

Nqoba: finish getting dressed you will find me in the

car

Anesu indeed got dressed and got inside, the ride

back was filled with ocward silence. Once they
arrived at the palace, He parks his car in the garage
and they both got out of the car. When they arrived
inside they found everyone seated in the living,
their brothers with their head down as if they just
got scolded.
Lungani: look who decided to join us, had fun huh?

he clicks his tongue.

Nqoba: Nzwakele...

Lungani: how many times have I told you to listen to

my instructions, a simple instruction to stay away
from her and you fail

Anesu looks at Nqoba who was clenching his jaw.

Nqoba: baba it's really late for this, I'm going to bed

Lungani: you are not going to bed unless I say so

now sit your ass down before I forget I promised
your mother that I won't lay a single hand on you
He gulps down his whiskey and Nqoba sat down
with Anesu.

Lungani: what do you want [Link] son? you want

to bankrupt him huh? who are you to just walk into
our lives and make our son...my son have second
thoughts of his decisions, did you put a spell on
him? oh I heard that you came back from the dead
God I don't give non fucks you here me...

She shouts pointing at Anesu.

Nqoba: baba don't talk...

Lungani got up from his seat like a fly getting up

from shit, he slaps Nqoba on the cheek and the
whole room went silence.
Lungani: when are you going to stop protecting this
bitch?

Nqoba: she is not a bitch!

he roars standing up and looking at his father dead

in the eyes not leaving a gap between them.

Lungani: she opened her legs for you and that's

enough for me to think of her as a hoe, your wife
has been calling you countless time

Nqoba: I haven't stood in front of the pastor and

swore to love her till whatever shit they usually say
so SHE'S NOT MY WIFE

Lungani: what's this son?

he took out a picture of him making out with Anesu,
he shows it to everyone else.

Lungani: you are going to stop this shit and forget

about this girl

Nqoba: I won't my ancestors want...

Lungani: Fuck what the ancestors want, I'm the King

here and you will do as I say

Nqoba laughs a little.

Nqoba: or what? you are going to kill me like you

killed your brother for the throne!

he said gnashing his teeth.

Ntongolozi: Nqoba stop!

Nqoba: I'm tired of his crazy was

Lungani laughs a little.

Lungani: you see you are pressing my button...

silence.

Lungani: as from this day on wards this girl is

banned from these lands and I don't want to see
her ever again by that I mean before the sun rises
tomorrow I want her OUT!

He clicks his tongue and walls out, Anesu cries out

loud and Ntongolozi went give her a hug while she
cried. Nqoba started seeing red as he blood boiled,
Anesu's cries were enough to send him off. He
rushed to the throne room and he took out his gun,
he shot his father throne till his gun went off and he
cried and pinched the floor.

Vezo: Nqoba pull yourself together

Nqoba: Fuck!!

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 23
ANESU MTSHALI.

She sat there crying a river of tears which were

uncontrollable, this is not how she planned on
everything to turn out. Her day was going smoothly
and perfect but it had to end like this, they are right
when they say to much joy kills.
She watches as Vezo stood outside with Nqoba
trying to calm him down as he looked as if he
wanted to put a bullet on this father's skull with the
gun in his hand.

He steals one glance at Anesu and cursed turning

around, he looks down and hands over the gun to
Vezo then he walks back inside the palace.

He came to her and asked his mother to give them

some space, Ntongolozi stood up and went to the
kitchen along with his sons.

He held Anesu's hand while looking down till he

found the courage to look into her eyes, she blinks
away her tears and bites her lower lip not wanting
to get anymore.
Nqoba: look I'm sorry for how things turned out and
I'm sorry for the way my father spoke to you...I will
try talking to him once he cools down and...

Anesu: He is not going to cool down Nqoba...did

you see how angry he was? no no no I can't be a
part of all this, things have been trembling ever
since I got into your life and I don't want to cause
anymore damage so I will leave per your father's
wish

Nqoba: STOP BLAMING YOURSELF!

He looks down as he tries to control his anger and

not raise his voice at her.

Nqoba: you are not the one to blame for all this but
my father is, I will try my leave best to fix all of this
and I want you to do me this one favour...
Anesu: what favour?

Nqoba: I want you to wait for me, I know it won't be

easy and it will be hard yes but I will fix this all of it
and once all of this done I will make you my wife
whether he likes it or not because you are the one
my heart beats for...

Anesu: he is still going to marry you off to her

Nqoba: do you trust me?

he cups her face and looks into her eyes, she nods
and wipes her tears.

Nqoba: I didn't say nod you head, I ask you a

question which requires an answers MaMtshali
he said in a very dominant tone.

Anesu: I trust you Nqobuthando

Nqoba: you will wait for me and I'm serious about

this...no man will feast his eyes nor touch you while
I'm alive because your sight is for my eyes only and
that body is for mine to touch...

He says in a low tone bringing his face closer to

hers, he bites his lower lip wanting to kiss her so
badly but can't...he needs to sort his problems out
and then he can have her all to himself with no
problems involved.

Anesu: don't make me wait for long

Nqoba: I won't...
As the temptation of devouring her lips grew
deeper with his hands on her thighs, Vezo clears his
throat and Nqoba slightly turns his head.

Vezo: Nzwakele is already angry and if he sees you

in that position with her, you know he will do way
worse then he has already...that man is capable
anything and his dangerous

Nqoba: he hasn't met my other side...I will kill him if

I have to...

Anesu squeezes his arm and he looks at her, he

sighs and stood up fixing himself.

Nqoba: I will drop you off at the village tomorrow,

good night

Anesu: please don't live me alone in this house...

Nqoba: nothing will happen to you...

he looks at Vezo.

Vezo: I will make sure of that

Fiso: nobody will touch you Sis'omncane

Nathi: yeah not while we are around

Ntongolozi smiles in a distance.

Nqoba: I need to be somewhere

He gently pulls Anesu into a hug and plants a kiss on

her forehead, he left the palace and got inside his
car driving to God knows where.
...

The following morning like expected, the sun wasn't

out yet but you could see the orange in the sky
stating that the sun was about to rise. Anesu had
already packed her things and the King was waiting
downstairs to see her leave so he can continue with
his life. Anesu rolls her luggage downstairs and she
holds back her tears, she looks at Ntongolozi who
quickly pulled her into a hug while she cried as if
she was loosing a child of hers.

Lungani: okay that's enough

Ntongolozi pulls out of the hug and looks at

Nzwakele, she wipes her tears.

Ntongolozi: Nzwakele can you at least consider...

Lungani: don't advise me woman

he raised his hand for her to stop, Ntongolozi looks

at the royal seer who just nods as a sign that she
should let the King be.

Nqoba took Anesu's luggage and Nzwekele stops

him.

Lungani: what do you think you are doing?

Nqoba: you have eyes and I think you can see what
I'm doing...so get out of my way

Lungani: you have forgotten you I am and I think I

need to give you a reminder
Nqoba looks at him with so much rangein his eyes,
it's as if he was going to punch him till his skull
flattens and his blood fills the floors of the palace.

Nqoba: I don't need you to remind me of who you

are, I already know what kind of a evil snake you...

he paused and exhaled.

Nqoba: Anesu let's go before I utter words I

shouldn't

Lungani: you are not going anywhere with that girl,

your wife MaNgubane is at the airport and I invited
her over for Christmas today and I told her you will
pick her up...she's going to land anytime soon

Nqoba: you go pick her up the same way you invited

her...angiyi lapho mina (I'm not going there)
Lungani: boy I wasn't asking you...

Anesu: I will take a taxi

Nqoba: We have plenty cars in this family and you

are not taking a taxi, that's final

Anesu: Nqoba please...

Lungani: listen to the bitch and let her go...

Vezo saw Nqoba approaching his father as he

reached for his knife of his left pocket, he stood in
between them and Nqoba laughs a little shaking his
head.

Nqoba: he almost died...

he mumbles and clicks his tongue.

Vezo: okay you two need to calm down...baba allow

me to drive her to the village...

Lungani: you can go and wena go pick your wife and

mother in law at the airport

Vezo: thank you Nzwakele

he turns to his brother and whispers.

Vezo: control your temper, I got you...

He took Anesu's luggage and loads it inside the car,

the royal seer followed behind and he took out a
blue bracelet made of wool.
Mbhemu: I know you don't know me that much but
the Dube ancestors want you to have this...

Anesu opens her hand and Mbhemu placed the

Bracelet on the palm of her hand.

Anesu: what is this baba?

Mbhemu: that bracelet will protect and help you

discover who you really are, now don't ask me any
questions or you will get the King angry so have a
safe journey

Anesu: Thank you

Mbhemu walks back in and Anesu wore the

Bracelet, she got inside the car and Vezo did the
same. He starts the car and drove off to the village,
the drive was long and filled with silence. The only
thing you could hear were Anesu's sniffs which
made Vezo really sad, he rubs the bridge of his nose
as he enters the road to the village.

Vezo: Anesu look I know all of this is sad and stuff

but Nqoba really loves you and...

Anesu: please stop...

She wipes her tears looking on the other side of the

road.

Vezo: I'm sorry but I can't because you need to hear

this, Nqoba is not the type of guy who softens up
easily...he is very arrogant and full of himself but
when his around you he because a softy and
sometimes acts really stupid but all those are the
signs of the love he has for you. Nqoba doesn't care
about the people he doesn't know, he never I mean
ever treated a stranger the way he treated you the
first day he met you, he would have chased you
away or even let the media take pictures of you
without even caring but he didn't...why? because
something about you brings out the best side of
him, I have never seen my brothers eyes light up
when he looks at a woman...the way he looks at you
is nothing compared to the way he usually looks at
other woman...he looks at you as if you are the only
woman on this earth, he looks and treats you like
the angle you are and trust me he would kill for
you...

Vezo sighs and Anesu wipes her tears.

Vezo: things might be the way they are right now

but trust me when I say this...Nqoba will handle
everything and he doesn't give up easily till he has
what he wants, I will protect and watch over him for
you and you should take care of yourself and focus
on your family...
Anesu: thank you Vezo your words really mean a lot
to me and I will wait for him...

Vezo: that's great to hear and if you ever face any

problem don't be afraid to call any of us,we are
your brothers and you are our little sister who will
soon be our sister in law...we love you and we will
always protect you

Anesu: appreciated Bhut'Vezo

She smiles and Vezo returns the smile.

Vezo: I got one more surprise for you, I talked to

some very close friends of mine and they are willing
to let you write for your matric so you can go apply
for varsity for any course you want
Anesu: you are joking right?

Her eye light up and Vezo shook his head, he parks

right outside her gate.

Anesu: I don't know what to say

Vezo: just say yes and I will have someone who will
be teaching you all the subjects so you can ready to
write your exam next year on November

Anesu: you don't know what this means to me Bhuti

Vezo: anything for you Sis'omncane, you won't

suffer while we are around...

Anesu: thank you so so much and may God bless

you, you guys have done so much for me and I don't
know how will repay you
Vezo: you will repay us by being an independent
woman that we want to see

Anesu: I'm short of words

Vezo: before you lose those words, Nqoba bought

some groceries and a few gifts everything is inside
the boot

Anesu: no this is to much

Vezo: it's not trust me...

Anesu: thank you so much

Vezo: merry Christmas Anesu

Anesu giggles.

She got out of the car dragging her luggage,

Mwandle came out of the house and came to help
unload the groceries out of the car. Vezo assisted of
course, Abuse sat down outside with a wide smile
on her face.

Abuse: thank you so much my son and thanks to

your family I have my daughter back

She coughs and Mwandle rushed to her.

Abuse: I'm fine relax...drive home safely

Vezo: thank you mma, Anesu?

She gave Vezo a tight hug.

Anesu: thank you

He pulls out of the hug and he left, Anesu went

inside with her mother. Mwandle helps unpack
everything and started cooking for Christmas, Anesu
finally learnt how to cook a propar meal even
though she can be a bit clumsy and messy.

...

Nqoba arrived at the airport and he stood outside

his car as he watched Nkanyezi hop out the plane
followed by her devil mother, he rolls his eyes and
stood up straight folding his arms.

Nkanyezi approached and wanted to give Nqoba a

hug but he pushed her away, he stood far from her
with his hands inside his pocket.
Nqoba: what do you think you are doing?

Nkanyezi: giving you a hug? I missed you baby and

you have been ignoring my calls

Nqoba: ignoring your calls was one sign you

shouldn't have ignored that I don't want you here,
in fact why the fuck did you agree to come here?
because I remember very well telling you that I
don't ever want to see your fucking face

Nkanyezi: your father my father in law invited me

over for Christmas and I couldn't say no, I also
missed you Nqoba and I know you missed me too

Nqoba just chuckles.

Nqoba: just get inside the car and stop making
yourself a joke

Nkanyezi stood still.

Nkanyezi: open the door for me

Nqoba: I don't work for you, get your own door

He took out his shades and wore them walking to

his side of the car, he got indie and Nkanyezi
gasped,her mother rubs her back.

Mrs Ngubane: don't worry his father will sort him

out, you will have him bend at your feet doing
whatever you tell him to

Nkanyezi: you are right, I will let him cool off

She giggles and got inside the front seat, Mrs
Ngubane got inside the back and Nqoba started the
car driving to the palace.

Mrs Ngubane: so son in law I heard that you kicked

my daughter out of the house as if she was a dog
and I'm sure that I must have heard wrong...my son
in law is not capable of such right?

Nqoba: I did kick her out so? what you going to do?
you going to go running to my father and tell him
everything as if I give a damn?

he laughs a little shaking her head.

Nqoba: it's clear that you don't know who I am

Mrs Ngubane: boy if you continue acting like this...

Nqoba turns up the volume and starts jamming to
the deep house, when Mrs Ngubane raised her
voice he increased the volume even more and even
rolled down the windows.

Mrs Ngubane felt her blood boil and remembers

that Nzwakele will deal with him, she sat back and
smiles. They arrived at the royal palace and Nqoba
got out of the car heading inside, Lungani who was
standing by the door placed his hand on his chest
blocking him, Nqoba looks at his father's hand and
chuckles.

Lungani: where do you think you are going? you

think the doors will automatically open for
themselves

Nqoba: I don't think doors will automatically open

for themselves but I am more then aware that the
people inside aren't disable and want to get out
they will use their hands to open the door and get
out

Lungani: right now you are disappointing me, you

are man of honour and I raised you to...

Nqoba: look whose preaching about honour, the

very same person who killed his own blood so he
can have a sit on the throne since he saw that his
father saw him as a pathetic looser and God I don't
blame him...I sure he has been turning countless
times on his grave because of your doings...

Lungani: boy I will beat you up...

Nqoba: try me...beat me up now and I will have you

land in the hospital old man...
he breathes out.

Nqoba: you are lucky that I respect my mother or

else I would have showed you what I am capable of
exactly

he clicks his tongue.

Lungani: you haven't seen the last of me I will make

you suffer and you will marry Nkanyezi

Nqoba: you are the one whose going to suffer, it's

great how you are the very same person who
praises the Dube ancestors saying that they don't
take nonsense wait and you shall see what they
have installed for you old man, now get your filthy
hands off me and attend to your guests
he pushed his hand which was blocking him and he
walks inside the palace heading to the whiskey
section, he pours himself a glass and he gulps it
down then clicks his tongue.

He sat down on the couch and turned on the sport

channel, he watched soccer and his brothers came
to join him.

Nzwakele welcomed Mrs Ngubane and her

daughter inside the palace...

Lungani: my apologies for my son's attitude

Mrs Ngubane: you shouldn't apologise it he should

be the one who apologises, that boy is very
disrespectful and he needs to be taught a huge
lesson
Ntongolozi: my son is not disrespectful is just that
he can't hide it when he doesn't like some people...

Nzwakele gives her a stares.

Ntongolozi: what I'm trying to say if you are more

than welcome and merry Christmas

Nkanyezi: thank you mma so where do we start?

have you already prepared for Christmas lunch

Ntongolozi: I was about to start but you can go rest,

I have everything handled

Nkanyezi: oh no plesse, let me help you mma what

type of a daughter in law would I be?

Ntongolozi: if you insist then

Mrs Ngubane: I will join you ladies

Ntongolozi fakes a wide smile and they went to the

kitchen, they started preparing for their Christmas
lunch and Ntongolozi wasn't enjoy their company at
all. She never liked Mrs Ngubane and her husband
inviting them over feels like he is forcing it down
her throat, you can never force someone to like
someone the same way you can force a dockey to
drink water.

Mrs Ngubane: Ntongolozi so are you excited that

we are finally going to be close friends since we are
getting our children married to each other?

Ntongolozi: I have enough friends sorry but yeah I'm

happy if my son is happy and it's Mrs Dube to you...
Mrs Ngubane: don't be sour Ntongolozi we are
about to be family and your attitude towards me
isn't going to change any of that

Nkanyezi could see how ocward this convisation is.

Nkanyezi: Mrs Dube uhm...I have been meaning to

ask if you could talk to Nqoba and maybe ask him to
take part in our wedding plans, it's our wedding and
I want him to take part...

Ntongolozi: I'm not a messager we had those back

in the days but I'm sure damned they did not look
like me, he is going to be your husband so you
should talk to him and I don't get how you even
marrying a man you can't even talk to...

Nkanyezi clears his throat.

Nkanyezi: mma you know Nqoba he is stubborn and
he will listen only if you talk to him mma, please

Ntongolozi: I will see what I can do but Nqoba us

never forced into doing anything remember that...

Mrs Ngubane: I'm starting to question how you

even raised your son...

She mumbles and Ntongolozi stabs the knife on the

wooden chopping board, she looks at Mrs Ngubane.

Ntongolozi: what did you just say?

Mrs Ngubane: nothing really

Ntongolozi: Nqoba is my son okay in fact those

sitting there are mine, I carried them for nine full
months and gave birth to them via my vagina and I
raised them so I don't need you to come here and
question me on how I raise my son's you hear me?
Nqoba is out spoken, that's how I taught him, he
knows what he wants and he is stubborn because
he knows what is worth his attention and you can
force him, shout at him, threaten him but my son
won't bend down and do as you please because
that is how I raised him...in fact get out of my
kitchen I will continue the rest

Mrs Ngubane held her chest.

Mrs Ngubane: Excuse me?

Ntongolozi: you heard me loud and clear, GET OUT

OF MY KITCHEN

Nzwakele heard the his wife shouting and he got up

from his seat rushing to the kitchen.
Lungani: Sthandwa sami I can hear you from the
dining room, what is it?

Ntongolozi: I won't have this woman insult me, I

want her out of my kitchen as in like yesterday
Nzwakele

Nkanyezi: we are so sorry

Nzwakele nods and held the bridge of his nose, he

sighed.

Lungani: just do what she said, I will talk to her...

Nkanyezi left with her mother and Nzwakele turns

to Ntongolozi.
Lungani: what was all that about?

Ntongolozi: no no no don't you dare talk to me like

that, I'm not the one at fault but she question the
way I raised my son and you know I don't like
people who...

Lungani: okay sthandwa sami ncese, I'm sorry but I

will talk to them

Ntongolozi: I'm trying my level best to be kind like

you asked me but she's testing me, that woman is...

Lungani: calm down my love...

Ntongolozi gave him a side eyes and she breathes

out.

Ntongolozi: lunch will be ready in twenty

Lungani: okay sthandwa sami...

He walks out and Ntongolozi continued to make

lunch , one of the servants offered to help and
Nathi joined it as well. Lunch was ready and they sat
on the dinning table which was at the back of the
palace outside, exposed to nature.

Nkanyezi clears her throat wanting to break the

silence.

Nkanyezi: so baby I have finished the wedding plans

and I wanted to talk to you about them so I can see
if you li-

Nqoba: I'm not intrested...

he calmly said and ate his salad which was on the
fork he had in his hand, he looks at Nkanyezi while
he chewed.

Nkanyezi: how can you not be intrested it's out

wedding...

Nqoba: I know so? you decided to put pressure on

me and press buttons you shouldn't, you think I'm
not aware of what you and your mother did...

he blubbers as a joke wanting to start an argument.

Nkanyezi looks at her mother.

Nkanyezi: what...what are you talking about?

Nqoba: don't act dumb you now have amnesia?

wonderful so let's drop it
Nkanyezi swallows.

Nkanyezi: I also wanted to talk about our

honeymoon I was thinking paris and I was like nah
then I thought of Hawaii

Nqoba: like I said I'm not intrested I have way

important things I should have my focus on

Nkanyezi stood up and ran inside, Nqoba took a sip

on his juice with zero emotions on his face.

Lungani: why are you seated there? stand up and go

apologise

Nqoba: apologise?
he chuckles.

Nqoba: you invited her now deal with this...

he wipes his hands and stood up, he went to plant a

kiss on his mother's forehead.

Nqoba: the food was good thank you mma, don't

wait up I won't be joining you for Christmas dinner
and don't bother calling me

he says looking at his father and He walks out with

his hands inside his pocket, Mrs Ngubane claps her
hands twice defeated as she went after her
daughter.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 24
NARRATIVE.

Anesu laid in her stomach with her feet in the air,

she laid there busy scrolling on her phone feeling
really bored since her little sister just left for work
so she can be able to spend the evening with them.
Anesu throws her phone on the bed and she buries
her face of the pillow feeling the bored striking in.

She heard Abuse's loud cough coming from her

room and she stood up, she rushed into her
mother's room and found her trying to reach for the
glass jar which had water and the more she tried
reaching for the jar, she was pushing the jar to the
edge of the table...

Abuse: leave it mma I will help you

She steps closer attempting to reach for the glass
jar but it shatters to the floor before she even laid
her hands on it, the water spilled everywhere.

Abuse: I.. I'm sorry

She coughs.

Anesu: it's okay mma I will get you some water and
I will clean thus up, don't worry

She rushes out and came back with a bottle of

water instead, she gave her mother the bottle and
as Abuse took the bottle from her hand she noticed
the bracelet on her wrist.

Abuse: where did you get this?

Anesu: oh the bracelet? it was a gift from the Dube
royal seer, he said something about it helping me to
discover my true self...

Abuse: mmh thank you for the water

Anesu: anything for you mma now let me clean this

up

She went down and she starts picking up the broken

pieces with her hands, she came across a sharp
piece and it stabs her thumb

Anesu: fuck...

She slowly took out the piece and she starts sucking
the blood that came out of her finger, as she stood
in the position she started feeling dizzy, she could
feel the whole room spinning and she started
feeling really hot.

She held her head and got up.

Abuse: Anesu are you okay...

Anesu: yes yes I'm fine, it's just that I feel really hot
but it's nothing, let me get the dustpan and a
broom...

She smiles and heads out, she took out the thumb
from her mouth and she looks at the blood which
was still coming out. She paused and stood there as
if she got hit by a shockwave, she closed her eyes
and images started flooding in as if she was having a
vision.
"the baby wails along with the Thu see which
rumbled outside as the rain kept on raining outside
as if it was it's last chance raining.

The mother took one look at the baby and disgust

was written all over her face, she pushed the baby
away from her.

"I don't want it."

"but ma'am this is you daughter," the servant said

"look at this baby...do you even think that I would

raise a child that looks like this? look at her and tell
me that you are seeing what I'm seeing...I don't
want this thing so take it away okay," the mother
shouts and wipes her tears.

"but ma'am where will I take it?"

"somewhere far away from me...you are still
standing take that disgusting two coloured thing out
of my face!" she shouts and the servants left with
the crying baby, the servants left in the room just
stood there not wanting to look like they judging
the mother for the decision she made.

"what are y'all staring at? quickly prepare a funeral

because the father gets back, if he ever finds out
abiut this I will make sure you suffer for the rest of
your lives.

She points fingers at the servant...."

Anesu opened her eyes breathing heavily and her

whole body was trembling, she leads on by the
fridge and stood there.
Anesu: what was that? and who are those people?
how am I able to see this?

She panick with her heart beating in a way that is

not normal, she poured herself some water and
gulps it down.

She looks at her shaking hand.

Anesu: wh...what just happened?

She asked herself and she quickly remembered the

mess that she was suppose to clean in her mother's
room. She took the dustpan and the broom, she
went to her mother's room and found her laying
there facing the ceiling.
Abuse: what took you so long? I thought you forgot
about this mess

Anesu: oh no I didn't...

She starts cleaning up the mess and Abuse could

see that something was a little bit off with her.

Abuse: Anesu...

Anesu: mama?

She raised up her head and looks at her mother.

Abuse: what's bothering you?

Anesu: nothing is bothering me mma

Abuse: Anesu i wouldn't have asked if I did not
notice now tell me, what is bothering you?

Anesu sighs and sat down next to her mother.

Anesu: a lot of wierd things have been happening in

my life

Abuse: care to explain those things to me

Anesu: well firstly when I first met Nqoba I was

dreaming of this blue snake I was trapped with
under water, I sleep walked to the beach but luckily
Nqoba found me and right now I just had a dream
but I wasn't even sleeping, I was wide awake mama

Abuse held Anesu's hand.

Abuse: what did you see?

Anesu sighs and she starts narrating the vision to
her mother, Abuse's eyes widen as she spoke, she
looked as if she was shocked but later stopped
showing.

Abuse: don't worry maybe it was something you

were thinking about

Anesu: mma I'm not crazy, It felt as if I was there

physically and I might not know those people but
this has to have some meaning

Abuse: I told you not to...

She starts coughing and Anesu gave her some

water.
Abuse: don't think about just pray and it will all go
away

Anesu: I hope you are right, I will pray and for now
you old lady you should rest

Abuse: if it happens again tell me okay?

Anesu: I will tell you now rest

She kissed her on the forehead and then she left

the room, her phone rang and it was Nqobuthando,
she answers.

Anesu: hello?

Nqoba: sthandwa sami...

Anesu: Nqobuthando you know that...

Nqoba: we are it together...yes I'm well aware and

even if we aren't that won't change that I will still
make you mine

Anesu smiles.

Anesu: it's like you could sense that I was bored,

how are you?

Nqoba: I'm not good but I am coping and you?

Anesu: I'm okay

silence.

Nqoba: what are you busy with there?

Anesu: nothing serious just looking for something to
keep me some company since I'm bored

Nqoba: I would drive there to keep you company

but I need to keep my distance in order to protect
you

Anesu: that sucks...

Nqoba: I know right and I miss you

Anesu: it's only been a day Nqoba

Nqoba: it's been a day? I thought a year has already

passed

Anesu laughs.
Anesu: you are crazy do you know that?

Nqoba: I'm crazy in love with you

Anesu blushed.

Anesu: can you stop Nqoba...come on

Nqoba: I'm sorry but I can hold my feeling for you, I

want you and you know that...I want to feel your
skin against mine and listen to your heavenly laugh
not to forget that gorgeous smile of yours

Anesu: I miss you even though you a pain in the was

sometimes but I miss being around you, I miss being
in your arms
Nqoba: you won't have to miss all that for long
because I'm going to fix this, I will fight till my last
breath if I have to

Anesu: and I will be right here waiting for you

Nqoba: I have to go I will see you soon

Anesu: bye

Nqoba: bye

He hung up and Anesu smiles.

Nkanyezi begged her soon to be mother in law to go
out to the mall together and Ntongolozi wasn't
having any of it, she doesn't want to be anywhere
near Nkanyezi and her evil mother, being the kind
and welcoming wife is all that she's willing to offer
but going out as if she wants that girl to be her
daughter-in-law is totally stepping out of the line
she told herself she wouldnt.

Nkanyezi: mma please, I want to show you the cake

I ordered and then we can have some time to bond

Ntongolozi: your mother is over there go show her

all of that and bond with her, I'm busy

Nkanyezi: mma please I'm begging you, it's the least

you can do after you son talked to me in that
manner

Ntongolozi: it's the least I can do?

She laughs a little shaking her head.

Ntongolozi: no I'm not going

She said with a straight face and Nzwakele cleared

his throat, he placed his newspaper aside.

Lungani: sthandwa sami the girl has pure intentions,

just give her what she wants

Ntongolozi: Nzwakele...

He gave her a stare and she sighs.

Ntongolozi: okay let me go change...

She stood up but Nkanyezi held her by the arm and
pulled her closer, she locks her arm around
Ntongolozi's arm and she giggles.

Nkanyezi: no need to change mma, you look

perfectly stunning...you are going to enjoy this...

She giggles pulling Ntongolozi out of the door and

Nathi just laughed, they got inside the car and left.

Vezo: I just remembered we have a meeting with a

client

He stood up and took out his cars keys from his

pocket, he looks at his brothers who are still seated
on the couch wanting them to play along so they
can leave the palace to meet with Nqoba in order to
discuss something he stated was an emergency.
Fiso: oh yeah I almost forgot that we have a client

He stood up and Nathi followed by.

Lungani: can this client wait? are not suppose to be

spending time with your families?

Nathi: we are baba but this is money and we love

doing our job, we won't be late though

He smiles widely and Mrs Ngubane clears her throat

standing up.

Mrs Ngubane: I forgot that I have appointment at

the salon, I need to go do my nails can I borrow one
of your cars?

Lungani: everyone is leaving me here alone? nice

Mrs Ngubane: you are still in a good shape my king
and I'm sure you will be able to take care of yourself

She smiles looking into Nzwakele's eyes and he

didn't return the smile, he took out his car keys and
hands them to her, Nathi's eyes widen and he taps
Vezo...

He whispers.

Nathi: look his giving her his car keys

Vezo: so what does that suppose to mean?

Nathi: he doesn't even give mother his car keys so

why is he giving her the keys? think about it
something is not making sense here
Vezo: stop being stupid and let's go before we find
Nqoba it in the mood of hearing our excuse of
being late

He walks out and Nathi shurgs, Mrs Ngubane left

first. She got inside the car and drove out, The Dube
brothers followed behind her but they took a
different route. Mrs Ngubane looks on the review
mirror to see if they are following her and she took
a quick turn driving back to the palace.

She parks outside the gate.

security: ma'am you are back? did you forget

something?

Mrs Ngubane: yes I forgot my phone

She smiles and the security guard opens the gate,
she drove back inside and parks the car outside. She
steps out of the car and she got inside, she found
the king having his whiskey in the same position he
left him seated in.

He lowers his news paper and he reveals his smirk,

rolling the news paper and placing it on the other
side.

Lungani: you are back early

Mrs Ngubane: my appointment got cancelled and

it's a pitty that I'm back here with you my king

She walks closer while biting her nails finger, she

stood in front of him and he placed his hand in
between her thighs. She looks at him biting his
lower lip and he removed his finger, he licks his
finger.
Lungani: I missed having myself wrapped around
your warm walls, you are even wet and ready for
me

Mrs Ngubane: I also missed having you bend my

little back broken and making me cum countless
time

She lifts her skirt up and she lowers her panties,

she lowly took them off and threw them on his lap.

Mrs Ngubane: I will be in the study if you need me

She smiles as she walked up the stairs slowly

swaying her ass, he picks up the panty on his lap
and he took a sniff at them. His erection grew even
hard as he gulps down his whiskey, he took out his
phone and called security.
"yes sir?"

Lungani: give me a call when my wife and daughter-

in-law return

"I will do that sir."

He unbuckles his belt followed by his trousers zip,

he slides his hand inside his hands as he starts
giving his hard cock strokes while walking to the
study. He opens the door and found Mrs Ngubane
seated on top of the table, her legs wide open with
her finger inside her coochie and her moaning while
she fingered herself.

Lungani: fuck I missed you...

He got closer and grabs her by the face pulling her
closer for a kiss, she responds to the kiss and he
pulls out. He slowly moves to her neck and he made
her remove her top which was only a t-shirt, he
unbuckles her bra and he cups both her breast and
starts sucking them while she moaned.

"ohh I missed you...ahh," he moves from her breast

and lifts her skirt up, he went down on his knees
and he starts sucking her coochie while she roughly
grabs his head pushing him deep as his tongue did
the job.

"ahhh fuck...yes...ahhhh"

She moans and he moves from in between her

thighs, he lowers his belt and she got off the desk.
She went on her knees and started to give him a
few strokes.
Lungani: fuck baby you dosing it just good...

"uh-huh."

She took him in by the mouth and he groans as she

gagged on him fully inside her mouth, he grabs her
her and he slowly moves deep inside her mouth
while she choked on the dick.

Lungani: fuck I feel so warm...

He continues as she sucked him dry till he cummed

on her mouth, he let's go of her hair and took out
his dick, he smacks the tip of his dick on her tongue
which was out and he bites his lower lip.

Lungani: you are one dirty bitch...come here so I can

show you how I missed fucking you
He grabs her by the neck and she stood up on her
feet, he lifts her placing her on the desk with her
one leg on the desk and he slowly entered her.

"ahhh yes..."

Lungani: fuck...

He cursed as he starts thrusting deep inside her, not

having mercy on her at all. He moves in and out of
her like it's nobodies business and he breasts bump
up and down, the sound of both their flashes
combining and her moans grew louder.

"ahhh ahhh ahhh....fuck I missed you big dick."

Lungani: I missed you tight warm pussy...

He groans and grabs her thighs as he continued to
fuck her real God like she has never been fucked
before.

"ohhh I love this...ahhhh...please don't stop."

He pulls out and enters, pulls out and enters and

she squirts all over the place, he slides three fingers
while she squirts.

Lungani: hold that squirt in I'm not done yet...

"I can't."

She cries out as his finger move inside her, her legs
are even shaking for heavens sake.

Lungani: fuck I'm going to ruin you right now...

"ruin me my king."

Lungani: then hold it in because you going to get me

in trouble

"it's just that you are doing it so fuck I g goof and I

just...okay."

He chokes her.

Lungani: shut up!

She nods and he made her turn around, bending

her over and her firstly looks down there as if he's
inspecting the vagina, he slides two finger inside
her and he moves them in and out roughly, she felt
like squirting all over the place but remembered
what he said, she bites her lower lip and he stops.
He slowly enters her [Link] and she squirts all
over the place, he smacks her ass.

Lungani: you don't listen huh?

"I'm so..."

He deep strokes her and she gasped for her.

Lungani: you don't fucking listen when I tell you to

hold it...

He increases the phase.

"ahhh ahhhh fuck...I'm sorry."

Lungani: you are late...

He starts fucking her mercifully and she kept
squirting but he did not care, he finally reached his
peak were he cummed right inside of her and he
stayed inside her while they both breath heavily. He
pulls out and he got dressed, he pours himself a
glass of whiskey and sat down watching her getting
dressed, he looks at the mess she made on his desk
and floor, he shook his head then realised that it
was all worth it.

Lungani: you have no idea how I was unable to

control myself around you...I wanted to fuck you
but...

Mrs Ngubane: you couldn't I get it

Lungani: fuck you making me hard already

He stood up to give her a kiss.

Mrs Ngubane: enough about sex, your son...what's
up with him?

Lungani: relaxin have everything handled

Mrs Ngubane: it doesn't look like it

Lungani: don't push me woman, I have you squirting

all over this place if you give me that attitude

Mrs Ngubane: I'm sorry but you promised me

Lungani: I keep my promises

Mrs Ngubane: that is what you said when you told

me you were going to marry me but broke my
virginity and left me like that
Lungani: now you are revisiting the last for
unnecessary reasons, I'm with you right now ain't I?

Mrs Ngubane: with me hidden...yes

Lungani: look don't make me angry okay?

Mrs Ngubane: I'm sorry

Lungani: go clean up

She pecks him on the lips and he grabs her ass.

Lungani: I see you want me fucking you again

Mrs Ngubane: hayi

She giggles leaving the study.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 25
NTONGOLOZI DUBE.

She returns from the mall with her daughter-in-law

Nkanyezi who bought in every shop she came
across leaving her exhausted, She did not want to
complain because she made a promise to her
husband to be kind as possible. When they arrived
at the palace it was getting dark and when she
entered, she found her lovely husband seated in the
living room with his son's.

Nzwakele was focused on the televison and his

son's...well they were focused on their phone and
the living room was filled with ocward silence. A
mouth watering aroma hit her nostrils coming from
the kitchen and her eyebrow elevates wondering
who was in the kitchen because his son's are...ohh it
might be Nqoba she thought and smiled heading to
the kitchen that's when jaw smile immediately
disappeared when she saw Qedani(Mrs Ngubane) in
her kitchen, using her cooking material, the stove
her husband bought for her, the ingredients she
bought with her husband's money.

Ntongolozi: what do you think you are doing?

Mrs Ngubane raised her head and smiled when she

saw Ntongolozi who showed not even a single
tooth.

Qedani: I saw that it was getting late and I thought

why don't I prepare, I'm sure you don't mind
Ntongolozi: you left your kitchen back at your house
and this is my kitchen, you cannot cook in another
woman's kitchen without her permission to even
make yourself this comfortable while you are a
guest is a huge concern

Qedani: I thought you wouldn't mind...

Ntongolozi: you thought? you thought wrong and I

don't care if it gets late, I will always return to cook
no matter how late it gets

Qedani: I'm sorry but the king said it was okay so...

Ntongolozi: he said...who said I don't care,

Nzwakele...
She shouts and he appeared entering the room
avoiding eye contact with Mrs Ngubane, he smiles
looking at his wife.

Ntongolozi: she told me you allowed her to cook IN

MY KITCHEN

She says "IN MY KITCHEN" a little bit louder and

placed her hands on her him.

Lungani: baby it was getting late and the boys and I

were hungry...

Ntongolozi: okay...Vezokuhle!

She shouts and Vezo came from the kitchen looking

confused as to what was happening in the kitchen,
he looks at his mother.
Vezo: yes mma?

Ntongolozi: did you and your brothers say anything

about being hungry?

Vezo: no we did not...as far as I remember though

Ntongolozi: why did you say anything?

Vezo: uhm...because we were waiting for you to

cook?

He said/asked not sure with his eyebrow elevated.

Ntongolozi: thank you baby you can go back to the

living room

Vezo: is everything okay mma?

Ntongolozi: everything is just fine

Vezo: okay...

He shrugs and went back to the living room,

Ntongolozi turns to look at Nzwakele.

Ntongolozi: so it's clear you are the one with the

problem here, I promised to be at my best
behaviour but giving her the authority to cook IN
MY KITCHEN in my absence? are you kidding me?
this is to much...ngeke Nzwakele

She shook her head.

Qedani: I'm...
Ntongolozi: right now I'm talking to my husband so I
suggest you shut up...Nzwakele?

She widens her eyes looking him waiting for an

apology.

Ntongolozi: you know what...leave it I'm tired and

not in the mood for this

She took her hand beg from the counter and she
heads upstairs, Lungani turns to look at Mrs
Ngubane.

Lungani: did I not tell you she won't like it? you
don't listen to me...

He clicks his tongue and walks to the living room, he

sat down and Mrs Ngubane continued cooking not
minding what Ntongolozi said.
Ntongolozi came downstairs and she was wearing
her floral dress, she took a clean apron and wore it.

Ntongolozi: the lady of the house is back now may

you plesse exit my kitchen the same way you
entered

She smiles widely looking at Mrs Ngubane, who

fakes a smile and took of the apron and left.
Ntongolozi rolls her eyes and she continued were
Mrs Ngubane left off even though she did not like
that she had to continue were she left off. The son's
stood up and they went to assist their loving
mother in the kitchen, Mrs Ngubane looked
shocked because they did not even bother to help
her when she asked. She rolls her eyes and went
upstairs to talk to her daughter.
She arrived in Nkanyezi's room and found her doing
her skin care routine.

Qedani: that's the only thing you are good at, you
can't even get one man Nkanyezi to do as you say

Nkanyezi: mama I'm not like you okay...I just...

Qedani: yeah you are not like me but tell me where

is all this going to take you? the person you came all
this way for is...where is He? not here and wena you
are busy applying whatever nonsense you are
applying on your face...uyoze ube mpofu ilezi zinto
ozishitsha now and then...

She clicks her tongue and she stood up going to the

bathroom, she slambs the door shut and Nkanyezi
gasped.
Nkanyezi: yohh what happened to her?

She rolls her eyes and continued with her skin care
routine, she took out her phone and texted Nqoba.

"baby I miss you, come back"

He gave her a blue tick and she wore another text.

"I know you want nothing to do with me right now

but can you at least pretend that you want me," she
sent the text

He gave her another blue tick and she got fed up,
she dailed his number and it rang going straight to
voicemail. She shook her head failing his number
once more.

Nkanyezi: this nigga does not know me

He answers on the second ring.

Nqoba: I don't miss you and I can't pretend, bye

Nkanyezi: baby...

He hung up and she calls him once more, he

answers and doesn't say anything.

Nkanyezi: if you dare drop the call while I'm the one
talking I will...

Nqoba: don't threaten me Nkanyezi...don't

Nkanyezi: why won't you answer my text? it's our

first Christmas together and you are just going to
leave me all here alone...come back to me baby
Nqoba: I'm not setting foot in those premises until
you are gone...

Nkanyezi: do you hate me that much?

Nqoba: I don't hate you but I despise you...

Nkanyezi: Nqoba we have been together for two

years if I'm not mistaken, two fucking years
Nqobuthando and you are dumping all of that
because of a girl you just met? you are full of
suprises right in fact you are stupid

Nqoba: don't bring my wife into this okay? don't

even utter her name because you are going to make
it sound really bad coming out of that polluting
mouth of yours
Nkanyezi: you are even calling her your wife...

She scoffs.

Nkanyezi: you know what I shouldn't have called

you...bye

Nqoba: and you are realising that now? nxx

He hung up and Nkanyezi felt her blood boiling, she

looks at herself in the mirror and thought what did
he not give to Nqoba that is making him treat her
like this. What does Anesu have that she doesn't?
she felt like crying and sniffs when she saw her
mother exiting the bathroom.

Qedani: and then? you look like you were crying...

Nkanyezi: I called Nqoba, it was stupid of me I know
but he called that girl his wife...He did that to hurt
me mama and now I'm...I'm hurt mama and what
hurts even more is that I love him...

she's hurt because she still loves him, after that

call? after hearing your fiance call another woman
he did not even go down on his knees to ask for her
hand in marriage...a woman he did not pay lobola
for...a woman he did not buy a house for...He called
her his wife and you still...yohhh those who say love
is blind are right shame I mean, it's all a see through
she just has to see through the transparent glass
that he doesn't love her...eish

Qedani: he will marry you Nkanyezi

Nkanyezi: I'm not even sure I want to marry him

anymore
Qedani: don't you dare say that to me, I have
worked so hard to get you to this point...you are not
about to give up on the gold we are nearly there

Nkanyezi: how much more pain do I have to endure

mama? it's obvious that he does not care about me
and this wedding is draining me, I wish he never
met that girl and I wish that girl could just
disappear...

Qedani: what did I say to you Nkanyezi?

Nkanyezi: he will marry me

Qedani: have I ever lied to you?

Nkanyezi shook her head.

Qedani: you will be Mrs Dube whether he likes it or
not now stop crying and get ready for dinner okay?

Nkanyezi: I love you mma

Qedani: I love you too my pumpkin

They head downstairs once dinner was ready and

served, they sat down around the table blessed the
food and thanked good then they started eating. To
the Dube brothers this was a boring chrismas since
Nqoba is not present and Ntongolozi doesn't feel
like herself, she has been trying to eat her food but
she feels a little bit off. She got up from her seat to
get herself a glass of water, she walks back to the
dining table with the glass of water in her hand.
Everything happened in slow motion, the glass
shattered in her hand and she felt s sharp pain on
her chest as if she got stabbed, she felt liquid
coming out of her nose and Vezo was the first one
to get up from his seat rushing to his mother who
fell on the floor bleeding.

[Loud gunshot wounds piercing through the glass

window]

Bullets started flying in and everybody went down,

the King got shot in the arm while getting down and
Nkanyezi got shot on the stomach, Mrs Ngubane
got shot on the shoulder.

Vezo: mama!

He hits her cheeks and she did not respond, he saw

how much blood she was loosing and he cursed. He
looks at to where the gunshot cane from, he took
out his gun and cocks it, he looks at his brothers
who his behind the wall, he nods and they start
firing back at the people shooting at them. Vezo
slides to the table using his strength to flip the
widen table over, pushing it towards the window,
he rushes to the couch in the living room while Fiso
covered him. He got shot in the arm.

Vezo: fuck!

He didn't stop, he uses his knife to cute the couch

open, taking out a sniper. He slides himself back to
the table near the window and positioned his
snipper, he started firing and bodies started
dropping dead.

He saw cars driving off and he got stood up once

the coast was clear, he remembered the condition
he left his mother in. he took out his phone and
called the ambulance, he spoke fast ordering the
ambulance to make it quick.
He couldn't use any of the car because they were all
on fire, some had flat tires and that pissed him off.
Lungani rushed to his wife and cups her face...

Lungani: Sthandwa sami...

He shook her but she wasn't responding.

Nathi: fuck who was that?

Vezo: I have no idea but I sure am going to find out

and kill them with my own hands

Fiso: she's getting cold

Vezo: where is this goddamn ambulance? fuck!

dammit! shit!
He cursed and Mrs Ngubane wailed out loud, He
took out his phone and called Nqoba telling him
everything.

Qedani: my daughter please save my daughter...

Nathi: do we look like Jesus?

He said pissed and he saw the ambulance

approaching with Nqoba's car following behind,
Vezo quickly rushed outside opening the ambulance
back door before it even stopped pulling out the
scratcher.

Paramedic: sir let us do our job

Vezo: I swear if she died you won't have a job to cry

for
He points at her and they went to take Ntongolozi's
body, Nqoba got out of the car and he rushed to his
mother.

Nqoba: mma...mama...mma!

He shouts looking at her mother laying there

lifeless, Vezo and Nqoba got inside the ambulance
with Their mother.

Nqoba: Nathi and Fiso take my car, meet us there

Qedani: my daughter what about my daughter?

Paramedic: another ambulance is on its way...

Qedani: she's going to...

Nqoba shuts the door and the paramedic looks at
him.

Nqoba: fucking drive

They arrived at the nearest hospital and Ntongolozi

was taken immiedielty into the ER, doctors walking
inside as they started to operate on Ntongolozi.

Nqoba just stood there trying to calm down.

Nqoba: who did this?

Vezo: I don't know but I will find out

Nqoba: this person needs to die asap

Nathi and Fiso walks inside.

Fiso: we found this envelope on the ground

He gave it to Nqoba who opens it.

"give me back my gold or I will kill every other

person you care for...I don't do jokes if you think I'm
kidding check the news."

Nqoba went to the television which was at the

hospital and he turned to the news channel, where
he saw his house on fire and everything else, cars
what so ever was on fire.

Nqoba: fuck...

Nathi: this is not good at all...wait that looks like my

house...what the fuck!
Fiso: shit my club...

Vezo: not my gooddamn house...

Everything was being burnt down at the same time

and it was all over the news, Nqoba clenched his
jaw line and crushed the envelope.

Fiso: Ntethe!

He rushed out of the hospital taking out his phone,

Nqoba's phone vibrate and a message pops in from
an unknown number.

"I'm sure I made myself clear."

Nqoba scratched his head as if he was going crazy.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 26
NARRATIVE.

Fiso stood outside as he wipes his tears and wipes

out the mucus coming out of his nose, Fiso is one of
the matured brother whose soft hearted and easy
to hurt. He has been with Ntethe for a very long
time and the thought of living a life with her not
being part of it makes his heart ache.

He bites his nails as the phone went to the second

ring with no answer, third ring and Ntethe did it
answer the phone...he cursed bring the phone away
from his ear and calling her once more.
Fiso: baby please answer the phone I can't loose

He panick talking to himself and Ntethe answered

the phone on the second ring...

Ntethe: hey mubi(wierdo) I was...

Fiso breathes out in releaf and also realising now

that he has been holding his breath for that long, he
went straight to protective boyfriend mode.

Fiso: Why weren't you answering your phone? what

did I tell you about not answering your phone when
I call,you know I have been preaching this for...

Ntethe cuts him short.

Ntethe: hold on...baby hold on, firstly I was about

Fiso: but still...

Ntethe: no don't Fisokuhle don't! I was having

Ntethe: yes I'm safe why you asking such questions?

She's literally crying and Fiso could hear her cries

through the speaker of his phone.

Fiso: baby I'm fine relax nothing happened to me

Ntethe: thank God but I will keep everyone in my
prayer before I sleep and I'm thinking of flying there
so I can be close to you for support...

Fiso: that is risky I don't want anything happening to

you so you will have to stay there, I will send a few
men to your house for security

Ntethe: my father won't like that

Fiso: I don't care what your father like but I only

care for your safety

Ntethe: but still...

Fiso: Ntethe I'm sending security there I don't care if

the old man doesn't like it, he is going to suck it up
and handle it
Ntethe: fine I will talk to him

Fiso: thank you, I love you okay?

Ntethe: I know...I love you too

Fiso: stay safe, bye

Ntethe: bye

He hung up and walks back into the hospital,

Nzwakele walks out of a ward heading to the
waiting area with a bandage on his wounded arm
and he stood in front of Nqoba who was seated
down on the waiting chair with his eyes focused on
the piece of art hanging on the hospital wall.

Lungani: heard anything from the doctors

concerning your mother?
Nqoba doesn't answer and Nzwakele sighs, he looks
at Vezo.

Lungani: Vezokuhle?

Vezo: baba? ohh...we haven't heard nothing

it seems as if he was also stuck in his own world,

Fiso sat down next to Vezo.

Vezo: she okay?

Fiso nods.

Lungani: you boys better start explaining all of this

because I have stayed for years in that palace and I
have sat countless times in that couch and I never
even knew there was a goddamn sniper...

Nqoba: that's cause you stupid as hell

He mumbles and Lungani shifts his attention to him.

Lungani: what did you say to me boy?

Nqoba doesn't respond.

Lungani: I have always knew that you boys are up to

no good in that stupid city and I'm sure your bad
habits are catching up with y'all...

Nqoba: the same way yours are going to catch up

with you
Lungani: boy you should watch you tongue when
talking to me, I'm still your father

Nqoba: father don't you think you have said

enough, my mother is inside there and we don't
even know if she's going to make and you are out
here starting unnecessary fights...

Lungani: I'm not causing any fights I just want

answers, you admit lost your future wife and queen

Nqoba chuckles shaking his head.

Lungani: if anything happens to your mother and I

find out that you are behind this incident,that those
people were here for you but your mother paid for
a sin you committed...I will kill you with my own
hand
He warns pointing his finger at his son, Nqoba just
stood up and he went outside. He breathes out and
starts breathing heavily as if he was having a heart
attach with his one hand on his chest as it pumps up
and down as he tries to breath. Vezo walks out and
saw that something was wrong with Nqobuthando,
he quickly rushed to him.

Vezo: shit...Nqoba breath

Nqoba: I'm breathing wtf

Vezo: breath slowly...calm down before you get a

heart attach or a stroke

Nqoba nods and he kept his breathing on check, he

inhaled and exhaled one more time then he was
fine.
Nqoba: if anything happens to my mother I won't
be able to live with myself...

Vezo gave Nqoba a hard slap and points at him.

Vezo: that's for even thinking something will

happen to her, our queen is a fighter and she will
fight her way out of this

Nqoba: it's all my fault I shouldn't have robbed that

old man...

Vezo: what is done is done Nqoba there's no turning

back, right now we should focus on the future
which is mother's recovery and killing whoever tried
to kill us

Nqoba: you are right and to add on that, our father

should not find out that we were involved in all this
Vezo: relax we will sort this out, we will do this...

They did a fist bump and they went back inside,

they sat there for hours and it was nearly one in
the morning that's when the surgeon came out of
the emergency room taking off his bloody gloves.

He sighs.

Doctor: Mrs N Dube?

Nzwakele stood up and his son's followed.

Lungani: that's us...how is she?

Doctor: I'm not going to lie, my team and I have

never seen a case like this one before and it was the
most tiring three hours ever but we managed to
save her even though she lost a lot of blood and her
pulse was very weak if you had not brought her on
time you would have lost her but we also have
another problem...

Fiso and Nathi's smile fade away.

Nathi: what's the but for? can't you just tell us that
she's okay without bring any bad news...

Fiso: Nathi relax

Doctor: we might have managed to save her life but

we couldn't save her from the coma because her
condition is very critical, and there is a thirteen
percent chance that she might not make it through
the night...
Nqoba: what do you mean she might not make it
through the night? few seconds ago you just told us
that you managed to save her now you are saying
all of this nonsense, are you even qualified to be a
Doctor? where did you even graduated

Nathi: ask him bhuti....this nigga is mad in the head

and sick in his goddamn stomach, he is not God he
can't tell us that our mother won't be able to make
it through the night

Doctor: we tried our best but her condition is really

bad...

Nqoba grabs the doctor by his coat pulling him

closer to him and slightly lifting him up in the air.

Nqoba: listen to me and listen to me carefully, you

are going to go back in there run your test once
more and make sure that my mother makes it
through the night or else I will make you poor for
the rest of your life you hear me...I will ruin your life
and I will make that my goal so you are going to go
back and think about what I just said and get back
to work you got me?

The doctor nods as he looks Nqoba in the eyes, his

eyes filled with lot of anger and the look he had
showed that he was dead serious.

Nqoba: move her to a private ward, I will handle the

bills

He let's go of the doctor and he quickly ran back

inside the ward, Mrs Dube was moved to a private
ward since they were done with her and the doctor
kept on running more test to see if there was any
chance that they would save Mrs Dube.
Lungani: you shouldn't have talked to the doctor
like that

Nqoba looks at Nzwakele and then he walks to his

mother's private ward, nobody was allowed inside
the room since a lot of machine were plugged on
her body and tubes all over her.

Nqoba stood in front of the glass window and he

placed his right hand on the glass and one on his
heart.

Nqoba: please don't do this to us, we still need you

in our lives mma...fight for your life and come back
to us

A tear drops down his left eye and he immediately

wipes his tear as his father along with his brothers
approached, Nathi went to have a quick brief with
the hospital security and he brought in a few guys
from his team of security to watch over the Queen.
It was more like the hospital belonged to the Dube
royal family, they stayed till visiting hours were over
and they did not leave when they were told.
Nzwakele kept on nagging Nqoba to go see his
future wife but Nqoba had none of it, he didn't even
go to see her or her mother.

They stayed there from one in the morning till the

sun came out, they slept on the chairs and Nqoba
did not even sleep. He was up all night keeping a
close eye on his mother and by God's grace Mrs
Dube made it through the night, Nqoba was
releaved and I'm sure the doctor was also releaved.
Nqoba went to get coffee for his brothers and
himself, he slowly walks back to her mother's
private ward and he felt really tired, as he walked
he saw a strange doctor approaching the private
ward his mother was kept in.
He increases his walking phase.

Nqoba: excuse me doctor can I help you?

the strange doctor froze and he turns to look at

Nqoba, he had a surgical mask on and that was the
weirdest part ever.

"uhm..." the stranger doctor didn't even think twice

he dropped the injection he had in his hand and
started running, Nqoba drops the coffees he had on
his hand and shouts waking up his brothers.

Nqoba: stop...

Vezo: what the fuck?

Nqoba: take the other route someone tried to
sneak inside mother's ward, wake up the other I'm
going after this punk...

He took out his gun and later thought it was a bad

idea since there are patients in the hospital who
have critical conditions like his mother so he
wouldn't want to trigger anything so he went on
chasing the guy who didn't stop. The strange doctor
took the stairs and Blocked the door with
something, Nqoba bangs the door with anger and
he took the elevator, he took out his phone along
Vezo.

He answers.

Vezo: sure?

Nqoba: he took the stairs to the underground

parking
Vezo: you will meet me there

Nqoba hung up and few minutes later the elevator

stops, he got out running and stops with his eyes
searching around. He noticed the white doctors
coat behind one of the car and he slowly sneaks to
the guy, he saw Vezo running in and signaled him to
keep quite and showed him where the guy was
hidden.

They approached the guy in opposite direction and

they blocked the guy, he tried to run away but there
was no way of getting out.

Nqoba: you thought you could run away? now you

are as good as dead

Vezo: I can't wait to put a bullet in his skull

Nqoba: firstly who sent you here?

he took the musk on his face.

"I'm not telling you shit."

Nqoba: you are that loyal? I like you already

Vezo: we are going to have fun with this one

Nqoba: so much fun

Vezo: call one of the guys to come pick us up

Nqoba: already on it
He took out his phone and called a driver.

Nqoba: come pick us up at the hospital...yeah sure

He hung up and called Nathi who answered on the

second ring.

Nathi: you have him?

Nqoba: yes we do and we are taking him to the

warehouse to torture the truth out of him and you
stay there wth Fiso and watch over mom don't let
anyone in there accept for the doctor

Nathi: what if they were sent by the Doctor?

Nqoba: check with the CEO if that doctor works in

that hospital if not then nobody get in
Nathi: heard you loud and clear

Nqoba: good

He hung up and the car arrived, Nqoba hits the guy

at the back of his head with a gun and he drags him
to the boot of the car. He closed the boot and looks
the camera and he shook his head, he got inside the
car.

Nqoba: Vezo take care of the cameras in this place

make sure that you wipe us out, I don't want any
police following me around to ask stupid questions

Vezo: I will do that as soon as we arrive at the

warehouse
Nqoba nods and stares outside the window thinking
of the vile things he will do to torture the truth out
of this guy, he wants answers and he is willing to go
to any extent to get those answers.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 28
SPHIWEYINKOSI KHOZA.

He finely lands and he drove straight to his house,

He drove in and it was the same way he left it, still
in one piece unlike Nqoba's house which he burnt
down not to mention everything else their brothers
own and yet they haven't done anything about it
which makes Sphiwe think that they are weak and
losers, he doesn't like fighting with weak people
because they make everything easy for him and he
doesn't like things coming down easy...he loves a
huge challenge and he is willing to press all their
buttons in order to get the challenge he wants and
also get his father's gold back.

He arrived at his house which had security all over,

he has an army of security gaurds outside watching
over him. He arrived in his room and he decided to
take a shower, the water splashed down on the tiles
as the room filled with steam...While he takes a
shower let's dig deep and get to know who is
Sphiweyinkosi.

He comes from a filthy rich family and raised by his

father who worked his ass off wanting to provide a
better life for his only son after his wife passed
away, tragedy! He was raised with a silver spoon in
his mouth and when his mother died he sunk deep
into depression and had a lot of suicidal attempts
which he failed on doing. He also suffers from mood
or personality disorder in other words his
personality shifts, he can be happy then randomly
out of the bloom his anger starts drifting in. He
really did have feelings for Anesu when he first met
her and got to know her but ever since his father
and himself found out who was behind their gold
missing, his dark side crept in and devoured every
little goodness that was left in him.

Deep down he is planning very brutal stuff for the

Dube brothers, since he knows how close they are
with Anesu he is planning on using her to hurt
them. The necklace was his first move and a lot is
coming their way in they don't keep their eyes
open.

Sphiwe walks out of the bathroom drying himself

with a towel with another one wrapped around his
lower body, he took a remove from his bed and
pressed a button and all of assuden the wall divides
into two door ways moving into opposite directions
exposing a huge screen and a keyboard to control
everything.
He threw the towel on the bed and he took out his
phone, he opens the huge screen and when he
looked up there was a huge map of a particular area
and his jaw dropped.

Sphiwe: what the fuck? what happened

He placed his phone down and he starts zooming

closer.

Sphiwe: the tracker was right there...perhaps she

took the necklace off? but I told her not to...what if
the stupid bastard found out that the necklace...no!
he can't find out he fucking can't

He clenching his jaw and took put his gun from

underneath the table, he shot the ceiling five times
and his room door flew open it was his personal
body gaurd Zungu.

Zungu: boss is everything okay?

Sphiwe felt his blood boil and he walked towards

Zungu looking bloodshot straight into his eyes
making Zungu swallow, Sphiwe roughly grabbed
Zungu's neck lifting him up in the air and pinning his
against the wall.

Sphiwe: you no longer knock when you enter my

room?

Zungu: boss...

He struggled breathing and Sphiwe did not look like

he was willing to let him go.
Sphiwe: you know I can slaughter you right here
right now Zungu...don't fuck with me! I'm not the
shit you should be fucking with

He gnashed his teeth and finally let go of Zungu

who was on the floor touching his neck as he tried
to catch his breath.

Sphiwe: the tracker went off so get Jacky on the

phone and bring fifteen security guys, I feel like
murdering someone people

Zungu: but boss you can't murder people for no

reason

Sphiwe: are you the boss now? oh look at you...

He laughs a little walking closer to Zungu once
more, he had this evil look on his face and his eyes
looking a little bit dark.

Zungu: I'm sorry boss

Sphiwe: get me some people to kill and get Jacky on

the phone...now!

He shouts and Zungu got up quickly and ran out of

the room, Sphiwe went to his small table which had
a whiskey bottle, bucket of ice and a glass. He pours
himself a glass and he felt how weak it was so he
went to his drawer taking out a bag of cocaine.

Sphiwe: he might have stolen from me but his

cocaine is sure damn good...
He waved the small zip bag which had cocaine
inside it and he shifts his head and saw this half
naked girl standing at the door.

Sphiwe: Why are you standing at the door? you like

what you see?

He clicks his tongue.

"sir there is a call for you."

Sphiwe: what are you standing there for? I should

walk up there and take the phone myself...*clicks
tongue* bring the goddamn stupid ass phone

The girl walks closer and he snatches the phone

from her, he placed it on speak and he unzipped the
bag of cocaine.
Sphiwe: hello?

Jacky: boss it's Jacky, Zungu told me you wanted..

Sphiwe: I can't see the tracker on the screen, when I

left get there few hours ago the red dot was there
but right now the is no sign of the red dot, what
nonsense is this Jacky? are you trying to get yourself
killed?

He sniffed the cocaine into his nostrils and rubs his

nose filling a little slight lick of the cocaine, he pouts
himself some whiskey and took a sip.

Jacky: she might have taken the necklace off boss

Sphiwe: I told her not to take it off well I guess it

either she's stupid or you are trying to fuck me up
Jacky...I Will fucking...
Jacky: kill me I know

Sphiwe: now you better pray that she took the

necklace off or else if I don't see that red for by
morning I will burn you alive in that cheap are
mansion you live in

He clicks his tongue and he hung up, He saw Zungu

approaching the door.

Zungu: they are ready boss

Sphiwe: start the car downstairs I will be down in a

few I need to get dressed and get thus whore out of
my bedroom

He walks inside his walk-in closet and started

getting dressed, he wore a white shirt and some
navy blue overalls finishing the look with some
black boots.

He made his way downstairs and went out, he got

inside the car and Zungu drove to the warehouse.
He arrived there and fifteen body gaurds were lined
up like he ordered, here a thing about Sphiwe when
things don't go his way he kills people. He does not
care if you are not at fault as long ad he will see the
blood and hear your cries he is good, He started
torturing the guys taking out his anger on them.
Zungu left the room since he doesn't like this side
of his boss, Sphiwe chopped off hands, legs and
even took out their inside and made the ones left
alive to eat the freshly chopped out flesh of the
dead guys, he took out eyes and sliced skulls into
half, he did all of this till there was nobody
breathing accept for himself. He was covered up in
blood, his white shirt was no longer white bit it was
red and wet, blood dripping on his face and his
boots bloody. He stood there with his knife and he
could see the sun rising, he was breathing heavily
because that took a lot of energy from him.

He looks at his bloody hands and his bloody clothes,

his hands start shaking and he felt guilt creeping in.
He shook his head trying to convince his inner self
that he did not kill all these people, he shook his
head stepping back and Zungu was walking inside
with a phone on his eat when he saw what was
happening to his boss.

Zungu: I will talk to you later

he drops the call and rushes to Sphiwe.

Zungu: boss...

Sphiwe: did I do all this?

Zungu: all of this?

He looks at the bloody place which had body part

flying all over, he knows that his boss has a disorder
and he is very understanding of his situation.

Zungu: you did not do all this...

Sphiwe: I did it, I had the knife in my hand and I

have their blood on me...

He starts crying and Zungu sighs.

Zungu: it was an accident you did not mean to do all

this, You are okay and you should go home

Sphiwe: I killed them...

He cries.

Sphiwe: I killed them...

Sphiwe: i fucking killed them...

This time he laughs standing up from the floor.

Sphiwe: and it feels so good!

He smiled and rushes out to the car, he peaks back

at the door looking at Zungu who felt like vomiting.

Sphiwe: are you coming? the car won't drive itself

Zungu: sorry boss

He walks out of the warehouse and orders some
guys to clean up the mess, he drove the boss back
to his place and he walked out of the car all bloody
he received a few stares which later disappeared
since the gaurds are used to it, all they pray for is
that he doesn't get angry once again and ends up
killing them also.

Sphiwe walks upstairs to his room and he took off

his bloody boots, as he was about to undress there
was a loud beep sound and he looks at the huge
screen. The red dot was back on, he smiles widely.

Sphiwe: I should give her a call but firstly late me

clean myself up

He walks inside the bathroom and started getting

dressed, he finished and his bloody clothes were
taken to be cleaned so he can wear them again, he
got dressed and his breakfast came in.
He dailed Anesu's number and she answers.

Anesu: what did someone do to receive a call from

you? Sphiwe hey

Sphiwe: hey beautiful how are you?

Anesu: I'm doing good and yourself?

Sphiwe: I have never felt better

Anesu: how was your flight?

Sphiwe: I flew back safely thank you

Anesu: that's great to hear because when I slept I

had wierd dream of you burning on fire and when I
tried to pour water to stop the fire I couldn't you
just burnt into...well it was ashes but they weren't
grey but red

Sphiwe: okay that's concerning and wierd so I won't

think about it much in sure it's just a stupid dream

Anesu: I guess it was...

Sphiwe: so do you love the necklace?

Anesu: oh yes it's beautiful even my sister loves it

Sphiwe: that is great to hear don't take it off Okay?

Anesu: but I took it off last night when I was bathing

but I promise I won't take it off again
Sphiwe: you better not, so what are your plans
today?

Anesu: I'm going to babysit

Sphiwe: that sounds fun

Anesu: it does actually because it's my fist job and...

Zungu barges in and Sphiwe rolled his eyes at him.

Zungu: boss...

Sphiwe: can't you see I'm busy on a call

He covers the speaker.

Zungu: someone is tracking your call

Sphiwe: shit bloody bastards

He clicks his to tie and nods.

Sphiwe: Anesu are you still there?

Anesu: yeah I am, who were talking to?

Sphiwe: no one special but it seems like I have to to

something very important came up

Anesu: ohh okay, hope to hear from you soon

Sphiwe: bye
He hung up and he placed the phone gently on the
floor, he shot the phone and he sat back taking a sip
on his coffee.

He finished his breakfast and went to his study,

Jacky came in and he gave Sphiwe file.

Sphiwe: what happened to greeting?

Jacky: it flew out the window, I got something...

Sphiwe: I'm listening

Jacky: I found one of the brothers girlfriend and she

happen to stay in this very same city, also she
currently staying at her parents place and the
address is on the file along with her current location
Sphiwe: I am more intrested in the current
location...read it for me

He threw the file back at Jacky and she read it.

Jacky: she's at the mall

Sphiwe: great then let's go stalk

He stood up from his seat gulping down his whiskey

and jacket looks at him.

Sphiwe: are you coming or you are just going to sit

there? let's go

They walk out and they drove straight to the mall,

they found her at the shop she was currently in and
she was doing some shopping. They followed her
around and Sphiwe felt fed up of watching Ntethe.
Sphiwe: I should go greet her

Jacky: that's a bad idea...

Zungu: the technology girl is right

Jacky: it's Jacky...*rolls eyes*

Sphiwe: I will just say hi and leave don't worry

He approached Ntethe and she looked like she was

busy on a phone call, he stood right in front of her.

Sphiwe: hi?

Ntethe looks at him and continues with her call.

Sphiwe: I'm talking to you dammit!

He grabs her by the arm and her phone drops down

on the floor, she cursed.

Ntethe: are you out of your crack head mind? let go

of my hand

Sphiwe: really you don't remember me

Ntethe: I don't remember...wait are you the guy

who asked Anesu out on a date?

Sphiwe: now you remember me

Ntethe: well firstly that was rude of you to grab me

like that and also don't ever do that you hear me,
I'm not your stupid friend and my man will...
Sphiwe: your man will do what?

He steps closer with a threatening look on his face

and when he raised up his head he saw some guys
dressed in black suits approaching, one taking out
their gun and Sphiwe cursed. He turned around and
started walking away in a quick phase, the mall was
packed with people so they lost him in the crowed.

Sphiwe arrived at the parking, Jacky and Zungu

were standing near the car

Jacky: I told you it was a bad idea

Sphiwe: you heard the way she talked to me telling

me her man will deal with me...
He chuckles and Jacky looks at Zungu who just gave
her a slight nod.

Sphiwe: Jacky?

Jacky: boss?

Sphiwe: I kind of need that address now in fact take

me there now

He got inside the car.

Jacky: is he back at it again?

Zungu shrugs and got inside the car, he drove to

Ntethe's house and he asked a few guys to go inside
the house and threaten the life out of her parents.
The guys did a clean job and Sphiwe was not yet
satisfied, He sat back.
Sphiwe: Jacky what's her current location?

Jacky: she's heading back here

Sphiwe: she's gonna have to come with us

Jacky: you going to kidnap her?

Sphiwe: and torture her yes, I want to see if her

man will save her and deal with me like she stated

He took out a balaclava from underneath his seat

and he wore it, he took out a clean cloth and a small
bottle from his arm rest. He insert a silencer on his
gun and he sat there waiting for her car to drive
into the gate, they dat there for a few minute till
Jacky spotted her car. Sphiwe got out of the car and
he wore his hoodie hat, he slowly approached the
car with his chilled walk, he went to her side of the
car and took out his gun, he points at her and she
starts screaming.

He quickly covered her face with the cloth that had

this strong substance on it which made he feel dizzy
and sleepy. He carried her out of the car in bridal
style and mind you he is doing all this in daylight.

He placed her at the back of the boot.

Sphiwe: let's see if your man will save you from this
one

he closed the boot with a wide smile on his face, he

got inside his car.

Sphiwe: let's go
Zungu starts the car and they drove off.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 29
FISOKUHLE DUBE.

He was at the cafeteria at the hospital buying

himself a little snack so himself and his brother
Zinathi, it's kind of draining that the only thing they
can do is to simply sit down and do nothing because
they have been searching for Sphiwe for a while
now but they can't seem to find him and each time
they be disappears into thin air.

He thanks the lady who gave him the snack and he

walks back to his brother while humming
dangerously in love by Beyonce, his phone suddenly
vibrates in his pocket and he held the snacks with
his left hand while his right hand went to his pocket
and he took out his phone.

It was Ntethe's father and he raised one eyebrow

because he never received a call from the old guy
and wondered why he is calling at this moment. He
answered the call and placed it on his ear, cleared
his throat and spoke.

Fiso: Mr Mnguni...

Mr Mnguni: what did you do with my daughter?

Fiso: excuse me? what do you mean by that?

Mr Mnguni: I knew you were never good for my

daughter...this wouldn't have happened if she had
listened to me and stayed away from her
Fiso arrived and Nathi was about to open his mouth
when Fiso raised his finger instructing him to not
talk, Nathi shrugs and he took the snacks from his
left hand and started to dig in while seated down.

Fiso: hold on a moment, what wouldn't have

happened? what are you talking about?

Mr Mnguni: *sighs* My daughter's car was found

parked outside with the door open and there was
no sign of her anywhere some neighbours said they
saw a man carrying her to his car and putting her
inside the back of his boot...they wanted to help but
they say the man had a gun in his hand

Fiso heart stopped beating for a moment.

Fiso: what...what?
Mr Mnguni: my daughter is gone they took her and
this is all your fault, you told me and promised me
that your gangster life would not affect her and look
were we are right now...

Fiso: I'm...I'm...

He couldn't utter anything.

Mr Mnguni: the police are starting the search with

the little information they have, you better start
praying and talking to your ancestors begging them
that nothi g happens to my daughter because if I
even hear that she was harmed I will kill you myself

He hung up and Fiso swallowed nothingness as he

struggled to breathe and felt a sharp pain on his
chest, Nathi could see that something was
bothering him.

Nathi: who was that on the phone? you look ugly

wassup?

He chuckles and he stood up heading to Fiso, he

placed his hand on his shoulder and he quickly
removed it.

Nathi: o-kay what's bothering you brother? who

was that on the phone?

Fiso: it was Ntethe's father

Nathi: oh that old grumpy man what did he want?

Fiso: he called to tell me that Ntethe is missing...

His hands formed into a fist as he said those words.

Nathi: what! who tool her?

Fiso: must be that bastard that shot mother

Nathi: how did he know about her?

Fiso: how did he know we're we lived?

He looks at Nathi.

Fiso: I need to go find her

Nathi: you can leave now? what if this is his way to

lure you in so he can kill you?
Fiso: then he should go ahead and kill me I'm not
afraid of him not even a little bit...

He walks away but Nathi went to stand in front of

him stopping him, Fiso cursed under his breath and
he looks at Nathi with his eyes filled with tears
which are about to stream out of his eyes any
moment from now.

Nathi: Fiso this is a bad decision listen to me we

should inform Nqoba he might...

Fiso: you inform him I don't have the time to sit

here and wait for him not knowing how my woman
is...

Nathi: I know I know it hurts and frustrating...

Fiso: you know nothing you have never been in love
and you have never been afraid to lose anybody so
move out of my way or else I will make you move
myself

He clenched his jaw and Nathi has never seen Fiso

like this so he decided to move put of his way.

Fiso: thank you

He walks out of the hospital and got inside his car

driving off, Nathi took out his phone and he called
Nqoba who answered on the second ring.

Nathi: bhuti we have a serious problem...

He said with one hand on his head.

...
Fiso drove to the airport and he took one of his
father's jet, he sat inside the private jet waiting for
it to take off any moment and while in the process
he took out his phone and called somebody.

the person answered.

Fiso: you remember that favour you owe me?

caller: yeah man I remember

Fiso: I need you to help me with something

Caller: does it involve killing?

Fiso: I wouldn't have called you if it doesn't

Caller: then I'm surely going to help you...what do
you need?

Fiso: I will send you the details as to were we must

meet and make sure to bring your best IT guys
because this one is going to be tough

Caller: I got you

Fiso: cool see you when I land

He hung up and he took a sip on his whiskey, his

phone rang and it was Nqoba he knew that Nqoba
was going to talk him out of this so he decided to
ignore the call.

He received a text from Nqoba.

"bro you need to get out of that plane now."

Fiso ignored the text and left Nqoba on seen, he
received another text from Nqoba.

"we can do this together as a team don't let your

anger take over Fiso, come on man."

He looks at the text and he shook his head gulping

down his whiskey, he laughed a little.

"Fiso you are giving him exactly what he wants, if

you leave on that plane and do anything stupid
once you land you will be risking Ntethe's life...don't
be stupid you know how all of this works," the text
said and Nqoba called Fiso, be answered.

The jet was taking off.

Nqoba: Fiso don't let your anger take over man...

Fiso: you are late

Nqoba: late for what? you need to think this

through why would he kidnap Ntethe? he wants to
hurt you and he knows how vulnerable you become
once you are hurt...Fiso just stop the goddamn
plane

Fiso: I'm sorry man but I gotta do this on my own...

Nqoba: Fiso...

He hung up and switched off his phone, he sat back

and he started doing through the plan he had in his
head. The flight took hours and the more he waits
the more his anger builds up, he ended up dozing
off.
He was woken up by the flight attendant notifying
him that they have arrived, Fiso got up from his seat
grabbing his jacket and he steps out. He had a car
waiting for him and he got inside, the drive was
Locus.

Locus: it's a surprise to see you after everything that

had happened

Fiso: you have no idea...take me to my brothers

hotel

Locus nods and he starts the car, he drove to one of

the hotels Nqoba owns and he was lucky that it did
not get burnt down. Once they arrived Fiso steps
out of the car and made his way inside, everyone
was giving him stares as he passed the line heading
straight to the receptionist.
Receptionist: Mr Dube it's a pleasure to see you
here...how can we help you?

Fiso: I need you everyone checked out of this

hotel...

Receptionist: excuse me sir?

Fiso: you heard me, get everybody the hell out of

this hotel andnit giving them thirty minute to take
their stuff and get out

Receptionist: but sir we can't do that, they have

already paid and...

Fiso: does it look like I was asking you? huh? who

owns this hotel kanti?
he leans on the counter and he looks at the
receptionist.

Receptionist: the Dubes own...

Fiso: don't go any futher I already got my answer

now get to work and get these people out or else
you won't have a job...make it snappy!

Receptionist: yes sir I will try me level best

Fiso: don't try just get them out

He roars and the workers started doing their job,

everyone was checked out of the hotel and nobody
was left even the workers were instructed to leave
with immediate effect.
Fiso called in his guy who goes by the name Siliva
Ngcobo, he came in with his grew of guys and they
settle down while some were outside keeping a
look out.

Siliva: Fisokuhle Dube...haven't heard from you in a

while and I'm suprised I even heard from you, how
can I help you?

Fiso: I need you to find someone for me

Siliva: my guys are very good at finding people just

give me the name

Fiso: Sphiweyinkosi Khoza

Siliva's eyes widen.

Siliva: you mean that psycho who should be at a
mental hospital? why do you want us to find him?

Fiso: I don't pay you to ask me questions

Siliva: you don't pay me...

He laughs a little.

Siliva: I don't remember working for you Dube this

is just a favour and...

Fiso: I can always give the cartels a call and tell

them who exactly killed their little sister, stole their
drugs worth 1.5 million and...

Siliva: okay okay I get it okay, I work for you

Fiso smiles.

Fiso: you are back to your senses I like that, bring

your man in I want to watch them find this
motherfucker...

Siliva called in his IT specialists and they started

looking for Sphiwe, Fiso sat down while waiting for
them to notify him about his location.

Fiso's phone rang and it was an unknown number.

"Sir I think you should answer that call...I think it's

the person we are looking for."

Fiso: track him down...

"yes sir."
Fiso answered the call and he was welcomed with
an evil laugh followed by a loud chuckle.

Fiso: what do you want?

"to see your balls turn green in frustration while

trying to find your lovely sexy girlfirend," Sphiwe
chuckles

Fiso: if you dare touch her...

"you will do what? kill me? shame it's really

frustrating that you guys still aren't aware of whom
you are actually dealing with."

Fiso: enlighten me...who are we dealing with

exactly?
Siliva showed him a thumbs up and that he should
continue talking.

"well I'm nothing you have ever dealt with before,

I'm always a step ahead of you and once you finally
get hit you won't even know what got you...like
bam! bam!," he laughs a little and Fiso was pissed.

Fiso: what do...

[sounds of bullet piercing through the window]

Siliva and Fiso went down instantly at the sound of

the bullet and the next thing the two IT specialists
were down on the floor with gunshot wounds on
their head.

Siliva was shaking.

Fiso: what the hell man?

"I told you I'm always a step ahead of you, don't try
searching for me or else I will kill you."

Fiso: give me back my girl and I will give you

whatever you want...how much do you want?

"R400k"

Fiso: no you playing with me, how much do you

want honestly?

"R400k and I will text you the location were we will

meet, come alone and you will get your girl."

Fiso: I'm no fool Khoza

"you want your girl back?"

silence.

"your silence says everything...meet me in that

location with the money and I will give you your
girl."

He hung up and Fiso sighs deeply.

Siliva: did he just shoot my best man? this is fucked

up man I told you this dude was a psycho and look
were we at right now...

Fiso: shut up!

He shouts and Siliva stops talking.

Fiso: he asked for R400k and told me to come
alone...

Siliva: that's your death right there, no nigga can ask

for R400k knowing every well how filthy rich you
are...something is off...

Fiso: he has my woman and I have no choice

Siliva: you doing all this for a woman? dude are you
crazy? there are a lot of whores out there and you
want to risk your life for a woman...

He laughs and Fiso gave him a side eye.

Fiso: she's worth a thousand or a million whores,

she's a diamond and she is for keeps...I can't loose
her because I will never ever find someone as good
and genuine as her
Siliva: I pray I never get caught up in a situation like
yours

Fiso shook his head.

Siliva: so what's the plan?

Fiso: I will go in there alone I have no choice

Siliva: you know I can't let you do that...your

brother will...

Fiso: don't bring my brothers into this

Siliva: okay
He raised his hands in the air.

Fiso: go to my brothers office there is a safe there,

the code is 4408 and take out R400k and fill it inside
the begs

Siliva: it will be my pleasure to...

Fiso: I know how much is in there so don't do

something I wouldn't do

Siliva: you don't trust me mahn? I'm hurt like

shit...but sure

He shrugs and walks out heading to Nqoba's office

with a few black bags in hand, his guys filled the
bags with the cash.
Siliva: don't steal anything there if you still care for
your life!

He shouts at his guys and once the four bags were

full, Fiso instructs them to loaf them inside the car.
He received a text with the location from the
unknown number and he got up from his seat.

Siliva: you really doing this man?

Fiso: as you can see...

Siliva: remind me to never fall in love

Fiso chuckles and got inside the car, he drove to the

location he was given which was a green old and
rusty factory out of town. He parks his car and he
received a text from the same unknown number.
"take the cash inside."

Fiso unloads the bags out of the car taking them

inside the factory, when he walked in there was a
huge round circle in the middle of the floor in
yellow colour.

"place the cash inside the circle." he received

another text and he did as he was told then the
number blocked him.

Fiso: what silly game is this? where is my woman?

He shouts but his voice just echoed in the room and

he heard footsteps, so he took out his gun and
points at the person who was dressed in black
tracksuit with a mask on his face.

"I'm just here for the cash."

Fiso: you are not taking the cash unless I see her.
where is she?

"please don't make this harder then it already..."

He stopped talking and he held his stomach which

was bleeding, he fell down on his knees and
collapsed on the floor. Fiso quickly turned around
pointing his gun were the gunshot cane from, there
was a loud and familiar laugh echoing in the room.

"you really thought I was going to bring her...can't

you boys be any foolish well I thought y'all were the
brightest ones but..."

silence.
"I guess I was wrong...FIRE!"

[A GUN GOES OFF]

Fiso held his right arm and another bullet hits him
on the legs, he felt weak immiedielty and it seemed
like he had back up. He felt a hand grabbing him
and pulling him from the cross fire that was
happening.

Siliva: you see I told you...

Fiso groans in pain.

Fiso: how did you?

Siliva: I insert a tracker in one of the begs, I didn't

trust the guy and I knew that your brother would
kill me if anything happened to you
Fiso laughs a little as the gun fight continued.

Siliva: we should get you out of here

He helps Fiso get up and he walks out with him as

he limped painfully feeling a sharp pain on his leg,
Siliva let's go of him and a huge buff guy with a
mask grabbed him on his arm were he was shot and
squeezed his arm tight while walking him to the car.

Fiso: ouch! take it easy on the arm I got shot tf

"I'm pressing some sense into your thin brain," the

guy said and took off his mask.

Fiso: Nqoba? how did you...

Nqoba: you thought I was going to let you get
yourself killed?

He lets go of him and Fiso lost balance but balanced

himself with the car.

Fiso: I was trying...

Nqoba: trying to get Ntethe back but you should

have listened to me, listening is a skill Fisokuhle and
I'm afraid you threw that skill away look at you now

Fiso: I can't lose her brother

Nqoba: you are not going to lose her, we will find

her and that's my promise to you
Fiso nods and approached Nqoba for a hug but he
stepped away as if Fiso was carrying a huge
disease/bacteria with him.

Nqoba: don't you dare!

Fiso chuckles and got inside the car, Siliva followed

alps and got inside the car. They drove back to the
hotel and when they arrived Nqoba called the
family doctor.

Fiso: where are the others?

Nqoba: they went after Sphiwe

Fiso: and mother?

Nqoba: she's in safe hands trust me

Fiso nods and Themba walked in, he started taking
out the bullets and treating Fiso's wound. While
they were at in Vezo and Nathi walked in feeling
really pissed, you could tell they were angry
because Nathi just threw a half a million bottle of
scotch on the floor.

Nqoba: haibo!

Vezo: he got away

Nathi: we had him this close...we had his tiny

fucking ass and he slipped out of our hands....

He punched the table and sat down.

Vezo: are you okay?

He asked his twin.

Fiso: I'm good...

Vezo punched him on the face and blood came out

of his nose.

Themba: are you trying to make things worse?

Vezo doesn't mind Themba but looks at his twin.

Vezo: where you trying to leave me alone in this

planet? you are really selfish do you know that

Fiso: I'm sorry I just wanted to get her back

Vezo: by being stupid? you almost died

Fiso looks down.

Vezo: if your ever do that ever again and leave me

behind I will dig up your grave and beat you the hell
up them bury you again

Nathi laughs a little realising how easy his brothers

are.

Fiso: it's not funny Nathi

Nathi laughed even harder then stopped.

Nathi: it was funny though

Fiso's phone rang and Nqoba looks at him.

Nqoba: go ahead answer it

Fiso answered the call.

Fiso: hello?

Ntethe: baby please help me...please help me they

are going to kill me...I can't take this...they almost...

Sphiwe: she's giving out to much information

Fiso: you dare touch her...

Sphiwe: you are late for that we already touched

her and we are planning on a lot of ways we can
harass her sexually

Nqoba: dude this is enough you want your gold you

will get it just let the innocent woman go
Sphiwe: not that easily

Fiso: I swear...

Sphiwe: swear all you want and I will send you a

video of them doing whatever they plesse with
her...they are going to have a taste of what you
have been eating all these years...

He laughs and hung up.

Nathi: this dude is insane

Fiso: you see why I risked my life for her?

Vezo clenched his jaw and looked at Nqoba.

Vezo: tell me that is enough to burn the city down
and kill this motherfucker, you heard what they are
going to do to her didn't you? you heard right
because I heard him loud and clear so we better do
something

Nqoba sighs deeply.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 30
NARRATIVE.

Nqoba sighs deeply and he say down, he honestly

doesn't know what to do at this point. He has been
searching all over for the crazy Khoza boy but he
can't find him, he hired people who are good at
their job which is hunting people down but as of
this moment they are still unable to find Sphiwe.

This is frustrating to Nqoba and it makes him look

really stupid and he doesn't like that, he finally
gathered his thoughts and looked at Nathi.

Nathi sat up straight immediately his attention

shifting straight to Nqoba.

Nathi: I know that look...

Nqoba: I have an idea...

Vezo: I'm listening

Nqoba: in all of this that's happening we have never

heard from Mr Khoza himself directly, we stole from
him but his son is having a rather larger reaction to
all of this instead of his father...

Fiso: what do you mean Sphiwe is having a larger

reaction of all this?

Nathi: he means that the bastard is crazy and a

lunatic...

He sat back and clicked his tongue.

Nqoba: that's kinda true but I think that Mr Khoza

does not care...

Vezo: ohh yeah

He thought of it also.
Nqoba: the guy is filthy rich and he even owns a
mine which means he doesn't have a problem
about loosing some gold and diamonds because he
discovers new ones each and everyday...

Nathi: so you are trying to say that the lunatic

brainless bastard is the one with the problem

Nqoba: that is exactly what I'm trying to say

Vezo: let's find the old man and talk to him then

Nqoba: that can be risky and I don't want to mess

up this plan...if we all go there at once he will think
we are there to attach or finish him up

Nathi: so you would rather go and risk your life...not

happening we stick together Nqoba...
Nqoba: I know we should stick together but I'm the
eldest, I would rather risk my life then risk your lives

Vezo chuckles.

Vezo: that is insane and wild...I will come with you

Nqoba: you are not going anywhere with me

because I need you searching for that lunatic
brainless bastard...

He paused and Nathi laughed a little.

Nathi: my way of talking is contagious I know

Nqoba: once you find that Lunatic you gather as

many men possible and you attach him, don't wait
up for me okay?
Fiso: this feels wrong...we don't even know what we
are doing...

Nqoba: don't say that...we know what we are doing

and we are going to catch this bastard and make
him suffer

Nathi: suffer as in like punish him right?

Nqoba gave him a side eyes.

Nathi: kidding I obviously knew that we were going

to...okay overtalking...is that even a word...okay I'm
leaving

He stood up and left the office.

Nqoba: Vezo can you get me Mr Khoza's current
location...

Vezo: sure

He stood up and went to take his laptop from his

black back-beg, he plugs in his skull USB and he
starts doing his job.

Nqoba: Siliva...

Siliva: grootman?

Nqoba: thank you for looking out for my little

brother

Siliva: just doing my job boss...you have done a lot

for me and I figured I do a little good thing, you
know to show appreciation?
Nqoba nods.

Vezo: I found him...

Nathi walks in with a glass of whiskey in his hand

Vezo: he is in some strip club few blocks from here

Nathi: only if you could find that Lunatic brainless

bastard with no balls fast like that

Vezo gave him a side look and shook his head.

Vezo: you know very well that it's not that easy...
Nathi: it's not that easy or you don't want us to find
him, if you wanted him that much then you would
be working your balls...

Nqoba: THAT'S ENOUGH!

Nathi: nah it's not enough this boy should...

Nqoba steps closer and placed his hand on Nathi's

chest looking him in the eyes, Nathi took a sip on his
whiskey and Nqoba could see that Nathi was
stressed out.

Nqoba: go out for some air or rest for a few hours

don't be hard on Vezo, he is trying his level best
okay? appreciate that

Nathi nods and sighs, he left the room and Nqoba

turns to Vezo who looks really angry
Nqoba: don't mind him you know how he gets when
he becomes angry and stressed, you are doing a
great job I appreciate your effort

Vezo smiles.

Vezo: sure thing

Nqoba sighs and he took his car keys from the table,
the left the hotel and drove to the strip club Vezo
was talking about. Luckily it was not packed like it
usually is and Nqoba is grateful for that because he
was not looking forward for ant temptation tonight.

He spots Mr Khoza heading to a VIP room with two

girl and he followed them, he doesn't knock on the
door but barges in and found him laying on the bed
with one girl on the of him and the other already
undressing.

Nqoba took out his gun and simply cleared his

throat, the girl who was about to undress screamed
and the girl on top of My Khoza got off him.

Nqoba: shhh! you are making noise

He said looking at the girl and waved his gun at the

door, the two girl slowly walked to the door and
they left leaving Nqoba with Mr Khoza who was
chuckling as he got off the bed and buttoning his
shirt.

Mr Khoza: it tool you long enough...

He took out a cigar and he starts smoking, Nqoba
raised his eye brow and he tucked his gun at the
back of his pants.

Nqoba: what do you mean it took me long enough?

Mr Khoza: with everything that had been happening

for the past few days I have been expecting a little
visit from you after you figured out everything...

Nqoba still looked confused.

Mr Khoza: you are a smart boy...*shrugs* not

smarter then my son though nobody is ever going
to be able to beat that boy...he is just...i don't
know...

He sighs shaking his head and the door opens, a

security gaurd walks in and he took out his gun
pointing it at Nqoba who grabs his gun but Mr
Khoza immiedielty signaled the security guy to
lower his gun.

Mr Khoza: you can relax he is cool...

Security: but boss that is an enemy

Mr Khoza: he is not an enemy unless I say he is...

The security guy slowly nods and he walks out,

Nqoba loosens the grib on his gun and he breathes
out.

Nqoba: I'm not an enemy? but I stole from you...

Mr Khoza: you stole from me yes but I don't really

care about the diamonds and gold, I have a secrete
location which has a larger safe then the one you
saw in my house and the thing about that safe in
has triple the gold and daimonds you stole from
me...plus retrieve that gold from the underground
mine I own...

Nqoba: why is your son making a huge deal about

this then?

Mr Khoza: because the mine belonged to his

mother...my wife came from a filthy rich family and
when her father died she inherited everything his
father owned and when she died I took over
everything she owned along with my son...

His phone vibrates and he sighs.

Mr Khoza: my son knows you are here and he is on

his way to kill you so I will make this quick...
He paused for a second.

Mr Khoza: when his mother died he became

something i don't know how to describe, he had
personality disorder whereby he does things which
he regrets but later doesn't...I don't know how to
explain it but all i can say is that do not under
estimate him, he is smart and very calculative of his
moves that alone makes him dangerous...

Nqoba: how can we stop him then?

Mr Khoza sighs deeply and frowns.

Mr Khoza: the only way this stops is when his soul

leaves his body...

Nqoba interrupts him.

Nqoba: you mean we should...

Mr Khoza: kill him? yes I mean that because that's

the only way you can make him stop, if he is still out
there breathing? consider him unstoppable

Mr Khoza stood up taking out his gun.

Mr Khoza: he is going to be here any minute so I

should advice you to leave...

Nqoba: do you perhaps know where we can find

him?

Mr Khoza: even if I tell you he will know, he will

move away from that place and find another place
to hide...
Mr Khoza picks up and file from his table and hands
it to Nqoba.

Mr Khoza: but this is his current location, I have

been keeping an eye on him and maybe this will
help...

Nqoba: thank you sir

Mr Khoza: just do what you have to do

Nqoba nods and Mr Khoza led him to the back door

of the club, Nqoba got inside his car and he decided
to give Anesu a call while he drove back to the
hotel.

she answered on the second ring and he smiles.

Anesu: I will be with you soon...

she says and looks at the screen, she smiles when
her eyes met with his.

Anesu: Hey Nqoba...

Nqoba: Hey mami how are you?

Anesu: I'm good Nqoba and you?

Nqoba: I'm okay...

Anesu: you don't look okay to me, talk to me what's

going on?

Nqoba sighs not knowing if he should tell her that

Ntethe got kidnapped.
Nqoba: it's a lot trust me but it's nothing I cannot
handle so don't worry

Anesu: I shouldn't worry while you are looking like

that? hell nah

she laughs and baby starts crying in the background,

Anesu shouts.

Anesu: Hey don't take the you from her...argh!

don't make me come there

she shouts and the baby just giggles making Nqoba

laugh.

Nqoba: you really sound like a mother and I bet you

would be a good mother to our kids

he smiles.
Anesu: our kids? yeah right

Nqoba: it's late and you are still babysitting?

Anesu: oh yeah I'm still waiting for their mother to

return then I will head home

Nqoba: this late?

Anesu: yes I'm a grown woman and I can...

Nqoba: I can't have you walking back home alone at

night, I will call one of the gaurds at the palace to
come pick you up and...

Anesu: Nqoba don't start with me okay...I will be

fine plus it's not even that dark yet
Nqoba: I'm not risking it Anesu...wait...what's that
on your neck?

Anesu touched the gold necklace on her neck and

bites her lower lip, Nqoba looks a bit closer.

Anesu: it was a gift from my sister...

Nqoba: you are lying Anesu...where did you get that

necklace? that is a gold necklace and it looks
expensive and don't get me the wrong way but it
doesn't look like your sister can afford that kind of
necklace so I'm asking you again where did you get
the necklace?

Anesu held her chest.

Anesu: you think my sister can't afford to buy me a
necklace why because she had poverty written all
over her face? you know what? bye Nqoba...

She hung up and Nqoba cursed hitting the staring

wheel, He arrived at the hotel and he walks in with
a file on his left hand.

The minute he was in his office he could feel the

tension in the room, He looks at Nathi who was
drinking straight from the bottle and Vezo who sat
there clenching his jaw line...Fiso was not in the
room.

Nqoba: what is going on?

silence.
Nqoba: the fuck you being silent for I asked a
question...

Siliva: we received a package from the kidnapper

Nqoba: what was in the package?

Vezo: Ntethe's hand and video tape of them forcing

themselves on her

He said gnashing his teeth.

Nathi: tell me you got some information about this

lunatic because I can't handle this anymore, he
touched one of ours and he has to pay...

Nqoba: we will talk about that later, where is Fiso?

Fiso: right here

He say walking out of the room with a brown box in

his hand dripping blood, he threw the box on the
floor wiping his tears.

Fiso: this is not Ntethe's hand

Vezo: what do you mean this is not her hand?

Fiso: I have spent years with Ntethe and touched

her in various ways and I can tell that this...

He shook his head.

Fiso: this is not her hand

Nqoba: wait how sure are you?

Fiso: we can even run a blood test I know her blood
type, this is not her hand

Nathi: if that is not her hand then who does it

belong to?

Fiso: the person who they were fucking in that

video who happens to have a tattoo on her left
wrist, they might have forgotten to remove that
part so yeah that was not Ntethe

He wipes his tears and smiles.

Nqoba: let's go get thus motherfucker then...

Vezo: you have some info on him?

Nqoba: his father gave me his current location and
it seemed like we were right all along, Mr Khoza
never cared about the robbery but...

Nathi: the lunatic brainless less bastard cared

Nqoba: yeah

Vezo: what are we waiting for then?

Nqoba: Siliva gather your man and tell them to be

here in five minutes straight, they should bring
whatever weapon they have because we are going
for a monster hunt

Siliva rubs his hands together with a smirk on his

face.

Siliva: now you are talking...

He raised his hands in the air.

Siliva: grootman

He walks out of the room and Nqoba looks at his

brother.

Nqoba: let's go kill this motherfucker

Nathi: you don't have to tell me twice

He cocks his gun and smiled widely.

once Siliva had his man gathered up Nqoba also

called his crew, they were all ready for war and
blood thirsty. They drove straight to the location
which was gladly given out by Mr Khoza,they
arrived at the location and they parked away from
the location so Sphiwe does not know that they
already found him.

When Nqoba stepped out of his car to brief his

crew, his phone quickly rang and it was an unknown
number. As he was slowly about go press the
answer button, the huge mansion they were
prepared and ready to attach blew into million
pieces right in front of their eyes and the only thing
that was left to see was the huge flame.

Everyone in the scene was coughing and having a

hearing problem, Nqoba was one of them. The only
thing he could hear was a loud kinda low annoying
beeping sound on his ear, his phone rang and he
answers placing it on his air after coughing.

Nqoba: hello?
"I thought you died there for a second and since
you are very much alive I got a huge lovely surprise
for you," Sphiwe said and he giggles

Nqoba: you bastard...

"Nqobuthando...I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, I got

the necklace from him and he shot my body
gaurd...."

Anesu cried over the phone and that one voice was
enough to bring Nqoba back to his senses, the
headache he had fee seconds ago was completely
gone, the annoying loud kinda small beeping sound
on his air was completely gone, the breathing
problem? ohh yeah that was also gone.

Nqoba: Sphiweyinkosi Khoza...

Sphiwe: that is my name, what you have something
to say?

Nqoba: you lunatic brainless bastard...

He bites his lower lip which was trembling not as his

tears filled with eyed and instantly changed from
plain white to red, his hands form into a fist and his
heart starts racing.

Sphiwe: stop with the insults...*laughs a little*

Nqoba: laugh all you want and make sure that you
laugh to your fullest but don't forget to pray...

Sphiwe: tell me why should I pray?

Nqoba: you should pray that I don't find you cause if

I do...
He was disturbed by a loud smack coming from
Sphiwe's side followed by Anesu's low whimpers
making Nqoba flinch a little bit.

Nqoba: I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF!

He drops the call clenching his jaw so hard you

would swear his jaw line was going to fall off,
kidding just jokes people! his brothers approach
him and Nathi just shook his head.

Nathi: we have been played

Vezo: pretty well and we fell for it

Nqoba: the lunatic has Anesu...

Nathi: say what now?

Nqoba gave him a stare.

Fiso: he doesn't want to see us happy huh?

Nqoba: he has declared war and I'm going to give it

to him...

He got inside his car

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 31
ANESU MTSHALI.
A few minutes turned into an hours as Anesu sat
there still waiting for the woman whom she's
babysitting for, the children were finally asleep and
Anesu was seated in the living room watching some
television with the television volume low and the
lights off.

The woman finally arrived and she apologised for

making Anesu wait, she paid Anesu twice the price
she was going to pay her. Anesu thanked the
woman and she walks out walking her way back
home, while she was on the road her phone rang
and it was a call from her little sister Mwandle.

She answered on the second ring.

Mwandle: sisi it's been hours and you are still not
home yet, where are you? mother is getting
worried
Anesu: I'm on my way Thingo no need to worry, I'm
just few houses from home relax

Mwandle: sister it's not safe to walk alone in the

dark...there are thugs in here and it's not safe

Anesu: I know Thingo but I'm a big girl and I can

take good care of myself...

The call suddenly disconnects and the call drops

immiedielty, Anesu thought that maybe it was a
network problem.

She shook her head and slides her phone inside the
side bag she was carrying, she continues to walk
and a black SUV parked right next to her. The
person inside the car rolls down the windows and
Anesu's heart skipped a beat as she stood in one
position.

"relax ma'am I'm not here to hurt but I was sent by

Mr Dube to take you home," the guy in a black t-
shirt said and Anesu lifts up one eyebrow.

Anesu: okay why would he send you to pick me up?

I told him I could manage and...wait let me give him
a call

"okay ma'am it's fine you can give him a call I will
wait just here," Anesu looks at the guy in a
suspicious way and she took out her phone from
the side bag, she dailed Nqoba's number and the
phone rang once and cuts off.

Anesu: what is wrong with this man? he sends a

body gaurd to come pick me up and when I call to
confirm...
[GUN GOES OFF]

Anesu screams loudly and felt something rather

warm. slippery landing on her face and drip down
her left cheek. She wipes the slippery thing off her
face and when she looks up the body gaurd had
blood coming out of his mouth, the body gaurd
colups dead on the floor and Anesu did not waste
anytime.

she ran for her life not turning back and the sounds
of footsteps moving the phase she was behind her
made her run even faster as she pants trying to
catch her breath.

As she ran not looking where she was going, her left
foot fell inside a hole and trips falling down. She
sprained her left ankle, she cried silently as she
dragged herself trying to move.
She felt someone grabbing her by the hair and
covered her nose and mouth with a cloth. Firstly
she tried fighting with the guy by hitting his hand
trying to get it off her face till the substance that
was poured on the cloth intoxicated her and she
slowly closed her eyes becoming weak.

The guy picked her up and walked with her to the

car which was parked not fat away, he placed her
inside the boot and tied her legs and wrist.

...

She woke up with a banging head ache and feeling

dizzy, she was inside what looked like a bedroom. It
was clean and it looked like it has never been used
before. Anesu tried to stand up but when she tried
her legs were chained up to a long chain which was
connected to the wall.
A lot was happening in her head, she was
wondering why would anyone kidnap her? she just
got back to being with her family and enjoying her
second chance go life, she never bothered anyone
at the village or made any enemies so far...She
looked around and on the left hand side there was a
huge class window.

Anesu: hello?

she shouts and she heard an echo of her voice

Anesu: I don't know what I did to you but I'm truly

sorry, please let me out of these chains only a fog is
chained like this and I'm not a dog...but that's not
the case...plesse let me out
she was wasting her time because no one answered
her, the door knob in front of her twisted and the
door opened. Three tall buff man walked inside of
the room with the scariest faces making Anesu to
swallow and move back a little bit.

Sphiwe walks in dressed in a maroon suit with a

white shirt which is not buttoned at the top, he had
a glass of whiskey in his hand which had ice and he
kept on moving the glass in his hand as if he was
mixing the whole thing together.

Anesu: Sphiwe? how di...wait how did you get in

here?

Sphiwe: I own the place that is why

Anesu: you own this place so you kidnapped me?

Sphiwe: I'm not answering that it's just a simple
question which of course you know the answer to
since I have just told you that I own this place

Anesu: why would you kidnap me? I thought we

were friend and...

Sphiwe interrupts Anesu by laughing really hard, he

laughed till tears started coming out of his eyes and
that made Anesu feel stupid.

Anesu: Sphiwe this is not funny...

she couldn't complete her sentence because she

received a hot slap on her face and she started
seeing stars as the room started spinning.

She held her cheek while blinking multiple times

and looked up at Sphiwe with tears filling her eyes.
She blinked once and tears started falling down her
cheeks.

Anesu: Sphiwe you slapped me...

Sphiwe: you want me to do it again?

Anesu remains silent and cried silently.

Sphiwe: just as I thought

He took a sip on his glass.

Anesu: Sphiwe I thought we were good friends?

how can you do this to me?

Sphiwe: you thought I was friends with you? you

have got to be kidding me, the only reason I
became your friend was to get close to you so I can
get closer to my enemy who is Nqoba, get to know
him through you and I happened to find what
makes him vulnerable...

He smiles widely and points at Anesu.

Sphiwe: you make him vulnerable and it's amazing

how he can go completely insane just because of
you, it's like you control him or something and it the
reason why I decided to take you from him...

Anesu: Sphiwe please let me go...

Sphiwe: can you shut up? you are not going

anywhere until I get what belongs to me...

He strangled her while looking into her eyes with

gains popping on his forehead, he groans tightening
his grib around her neck and saw that he was about
to kill her so he let's her go.

She falls on the ground catching her breath and

coughing.

Sphiwe: you should be grateful that you are still

alive, I would say the same thing about your lover
but...

He shrugs.

Anesu: what did you do to Nqoba?

Sphiwe: I'm happy you asked, well he thought he

was being smart there for a second by consulting
with my father about me little did he know that I
control the old man and he does everything I tell
him to do...

He laughs out loudly.

Sphiwe: my father gave him wrong information

about my where about not knowing that I am a step
ahead of them, while they were busy searching for
me i was searching for you and happened to find
you...you are so easy to find

He laughs a little.

Anesu: Sphiwe what did you do to Nqoba?

she shouts at him and the smile on Sphiwe's face

fades away, he looks at Anesu and clicks his tongue.
Sphiwe: his going to blow into pieces along with his
brothers since they fucked with the wrong person...

Anesu: you can't do that, you can't kill them Sphiwe

please I'm sure you can sort all of this without
involving violence...please!

she begs crying her eyes balls out and Sphiwe did
not pay attention to her, He signals one of the
gaurd to step foward a f he whispered to the gaurd.

Sphiwe: did they blow the house up?

the gaurd nods.

Sphiwe: good cover her mouth so she doesn't make

a sound
The gaurd did as he was told and Sphiwe smiles
widely, Sphiwe took out his phone and dailed
Nqoba's number.

Sphiwe: now let's check for any sign of life...

He smirks and the phone rang, it rang for a few

second and got answered on the second ring.

Nqoba: hello?

Sphiwe: I thought you died there for a second and

since you are very much alive I got a huge lovely
surprise for you

Nqoba: you bastard...

The gaurd removed the cloth covering Anesu's

mouth and Sphiwe placed the call on loud speaker.
Anesu: Nqobuthando I'm sorry I didn't listen to
you...I got the necklace from him and he shot my
body gaurd...

She couldn't continue talking because Sphiwe

signaled the body gaurd go cover her mouth since
she was talking to much.

Nqoba: Sphiweyinkosi Khoza

Sphiwe: that is my name what? you have something

to say?

Nqoba: you lunatic brainless bastard...

Sphiwe: stop with the insults...

He laughs a little.

Nqoba: laugh all you want and make sure you laugh
to your fullest but don't forget to pray

Sphiwe: tell me why should I pray?

Nqoba: you should pray that I don't find you cause if

I do...

Sphiwe felt bored of the threats he was receiving

from Nqoba since there's nothing he has done so
far to show how serious he is. Sphiwe gave Anesu a
hot slap on her left cheek and Anesu started crying.

Nqoba: I will kill you myself

Sphiwe hung up and clicked his tongue, he looks at
Anesu with a wide smile on his face enjoying the
sight of her in pain.

Sphiwe: this is just the beginning

He blows a kiss at her and he walks out, the minute

he was out of sight Anesu started crying. She sat on
the cold floor crying till her eyes got swollen, she sat
there rocking back and forth.

It started to get dark and she stared outside the

huge window, staring at the half moon that was in
the sky. The room was dark and the only think
bringing light into the room was the moon, she
started to feel sleepy and she did not want to fall
asleep because she was scared that they might
harm her while she is fast asleep.
The door opens and a gaurd walks in with a plate
full of food and a glass of water, he placed the food
on the floor and walks out. Anesu stared at the
mouth watering plate and shook her head, deep
down she wanted to eat the food but she didn't.

She leaned against the wall and slowly drifts off to

sleep.

...

Sphiwe was in his room thinking of the plan he had

next, he smiles realising that he can make the Dube
brothers dance to his tune since he has something
they really want badly. His office door opens and his
father walks in, Sphiwe gave him a dead stare as he
took a seat right opposite him.

Mr Khoza: son...
He interrupts him.

Sphiwe: what are you doing here? do you even

realise that you might get us caught? what if those
idiots were following you huh? you want to ruin my
plans now, is that what you want to do?

He roars with anger and his father sighs.

Mr Khoza: no I don't want to ruin your plans son I

just came to check on you and talk to you about
something...

Sphiwe: talk to me about what?

Mr Khoza: the people who did you wrong here are

the Dube brothers and not the innocent girls you
have in hostage here...
Sphiwe just laughs at his father and he stops.

Sphiwe: you are not going to tell me what I should

do because I know very well what I'm doing

Mr Khoza: but those girls did nothing wrong to

you...

Sphiwe: that makes it even more fun for me, they

are dating the guys that stole from us...in fact why
does it look like I'm the only person who cares that
they a hole from us?

Mr Khoza sighs.

Mr Khoza: it's not that I don't care but think about

it, we receive gold and daimonds every day it's kind
of pointless to hold this against the guys...
Sphiwe: this is my mother diamond and gold, I
won't let anyone steak from me and get away with
it...they will suffer for doing this

Mr Khoza: at least think about it...let the girls go

Sphiwe sat back and thought abiut it for a second.

Sphiwe: these girls are not going anywhere, I still

want to make those idiots suffer...I can't get
anywhere near their mother nor their stupid father
so I will have to use these girls...

Mr Khoza: this is not going to end well for you they

will kill you
Sphiwe: kill me? they don't even know where I am
and even if they find out they will be to late
because I would have killed those girls by then

Mr Khoza: son just...

Sphiwe clicks his tongue.

Sphiwe: get out of my office

Mr Khoza: Sphiwe listen...

Sphiwe tool out his gun and placed it on top of the

table, his father thought twice and he raised his
hands up in the air as he stood up.

Mr Khoza: I tried to warn you...

He walks out and Sphiwe threw a bottle of whiskey
behind him as the door closed, he took out his
phone and called Jacky.

she answered on the first ring.

Jacky: boss?

Sphiwe: I need you to do something for me real

quick

Jacky: I'm listening boss

Sphiwe: I want you to suck them dry, i want each

and every account those Dubes own to be empty
first in the morning...

Jacky: right on it boss

Sphiwe: don't disappoint me on this one, I want to
bring those boys down to the ground...

Jacky: I never disappoint you sir and you know that

Sphiwe: get on the job and stop blubbering

nonsense

Jackey: yes sir I will let you know once it's done

Sphiwe: sure

He hung up and he smiles widely.

Sphiwe: now let's see if you will survive being broke

He smirks.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 32
NARRATIVE.

[BACK AT THE VILLAGE]

It's the following day, its morning and its raining

outside. Mwandle did not sleep the whole night
because she was worried about her sister who did
not return home last night, she sat up straight on
her bed and she dailed Anesu's number. The phone
rang and it took her straight to voicemail, she sighs
deeply and she went to bath.

She couldn't stop thinking about het sisters where

abouts and stressing about all of this is making her
have knots in her stomach and feeling a little bit
impatient.

After making porridge for her mother and herself,

she went to serve her mother in her room and after
that helped her in taking a shower. She was
standing in front of the mirror doing her mother
hair when Abuse decided to ask a question.

Abuse: Mwandle where is you sister?

Mwandle bites her lower lip and sighs, this is the

question she did not want to receive from her
mother.

Abuse: Mwandle why are you being silent? I asked

you where is your sister and you should have given
me the answer long ago...
Mwandle: uhm...mama

Abuse: stop stuttering and tell me...

she coughs and Mwandle went to get her a bottle of

water while she continued to cough uncontrollably,
when she went back to her mother she saw that she
was coughing out blood and she gasped.

Mwandle: mama that us blood

she panics.

Abuse: no need to worry it's nothing I will be fine

now tell me...

she drank her water.

Abuse: where is your sister?

Mwandle: she did not return last night

Abuse: what do you mean she did not return last

night?

Mwandle: she told me that the woman she's

babysitting for will arrive late and when I called her
she was on her way back home but she never
arrived

Abuse: and you are telling me all of this now?

Mwandle looks down playing with her fingers not

knowing what to say or do, Abuse covered her face
with her hands and she took a few deep breaths
before looking at Mwandle.
Abuse: do you know the woman she was
babysitting for?

Mwandle: yes mama I know her...

Abuse: go check with her and in the meantime I will

be waiting for you here with a straight answer

Mwandle: yes mma

she walks out the room and she went to take her
phone in the kitchen, she dials Anesu's number
once more but it goes straight to voicemail once
more.

Mwandle: Anesu where are you?

She asked as she walks out the front gate with her
umbrellas opened as the rain continued to drip
down the sky not caring that it's still early, she went
to the woman's house, it was not a long walk but it
was tiring. When she was a few feets from reaching
the woman's house, she noticed a black SUV parked
in the open with a dead body soaked in blood which
was streaming down the road along with the rain,
the body covered with a white cloth on the ground.
The police were busy inspecting the place and like
usual the villagers standing there gossiping about
what happened.

Seeing that incident made Mwandle's heart to beat

a little bit fast and she started thinking what if
Anesu was involved in all this, she shook her head
shaking the foolish thought out of her head.

She arrived at the door step and she knocks at the

door, the woman opens the door and she gave
Mwandle a wide smile.
"oh hey Mwandle how are you?"

Mwandle: morning ma'am I'm good, I'm sorry to

disturb you so early in the morning but I'm looking
for my sister the last time I talked to her she was on
her way back home but she did not arrive, do you
perhaps know where she might have gone?

The woman gasped in shock with a hand on her

chest.

"I'm sorry but I don't know where she went,

honestly speaking I thought she was going to come
through this morning..."

Mwandle: are you sure ma'am?

"yes I'm sure Mwandle I wouldn't lie to you,"

Mwandle: if you don't know where she is then
where is she?

tears fill her eyes and she starts crying, the woman
pulled her closer for a hug as she cried. She just got
her sister back and she's just not ready to loose her
again.

Mwandle pulls out from the hug wiping her tears

Mwandle: thank you ma'am but I need to head back

home, we will try contacting the police

"I hope you find her in one piece, that girl is very
special and God sent," the woman said and
Mwandle smiles before walking away heading back
home
She walked home as she felt the cold wind blowing
and the grey clouds forming in the sky as if a huge
storm was approaching. As she walks to the gate a
old man dressed in a white attire with beads on his
wrist and ankles, animal skin bracelet on both his
wrist stood in front of the gate as if he was waiting
for someone.

Mwandle: excuse me sir can I help you? are you

looking for someone?

"oh yes I am, I was looking for Abuse Mtshali and

my people directed me here...am I at the right
place?"

He asked with a smile on his face and Mwandle

looks at him from head to two with one eyebrow
elevated, she sighs forgetting that she was taught
not to judge people.
Mwandle: Abuse is my mother and she's inside the
house, you may come in

"thank you."

Mwandle: and you are sir?

"I'm Mbhemu."

Mwandle: I am...

Mbhemu: Mwandle Thingokazi Msweli...I know

Mwandle's jaw dropped because she was shocked

that Mbhemu knew her name, she has never met
this old man before yet he knows her name. They
walked inside the house and Mbhemu sat on the
couch, Mwandle went to her mother's room.
Mwandle: she will be with you in a moment, can I
make you something to drink juice, tea or coffee

Mbhemu: water is okay

Mwandle: okay

she shrugs heading to the kitchen, Abuse walks out

of her room and she went to the living room.

Abuse: sawbona you must be the person that's

looking for me

Mbhemu: yes I'm the person but you can call me

Mbhemu

Abuse: how can I help you?

Mbhemu: you can't help me with anything but I can
help you with something

He smiles and Abuse looks at him weirdly.

Abuse: are you one of those people who go around

propheting lies to people if you are then you can
gladly leave I won't entertain you...

she was about to stand up but she started coughing

and sat back down.

Mbhemu: you are not in the right state to argue

with me, I'm a royal seer from the Dube royal
palace and I was sent to deliver a message to you

Abuse: what massage?

Mwandle came with the glass of water and gave it
to Mbhemu, he took one sip and placed it down on
the ground.

Mbhemu: your daughter is missing and her life is in

grave danger...

Abuse: how do you know my daughter?

Mbhemu: I happen to know people who have

known her since the day she was born and have
been protecting her and still are protecting her

Abuse: which people...

Mbhemu: there is no time for silly questions just

listen to me, Anesu is of great value and the powers
she holds can destroy everything around her...her
ancestors have been testing her the day she
returned from the waters and this is also a test...

Abuse: my daughter going missing is a test...these

ancestors are playing with my daughter's life

Mbhemu: unfortunately are aren't but you are the

one playing with her daughter's life feeding her with
a falls identity which you know very well might end
up killing her...

Abuse: I'm not feeding her the wrong identity Anesu

is a Mtshali and that's..

Mbhemu laughs a little.

Mbhemu: arguing with you is going to be pointless

because you don't listen, it's going to rain for two
full days and on the third day Anesu will gain her
powers and when that happens she will become a
whole different person, she will require that the
truth be revealed to her or else the water Gods
won't be merciful towards you as they already
started

Abuse: I SAVED HER!

Mbhemu: yes you did but that does not mean you
should hide the whole truth from her, her people
are calling for her and they want their Queen...their
lands are suffering and the only way they will be
broken out of the curse is when she returns, hide
the truth from her and you will face the
consequences

He stood up and picks up the glass from the floor,

he placed it on the table.
Mbhemu: you should drink this water it will help
you with the cough

He chuckles and he walks out, Abuse just sat there

registering everything Mbhemu just said to her.
Mwandle came from the kitchen and she sat down
next to her mother, she looks at Abuse.

Mwandle: who was that guy and what was all of

that about?

Abuse: can you just give me some space

she snaps and stood up heading to her room,

Mwandle raised both her hands in the air and
watched her mother leave. She took the glass from
the table and she went to wash it, she stood in the
middle of the kitchen and had a silent prayer.
Mwandle: May the Lord be with you and guide you
back home Anesu

She joined her hands together and sighs

.
.
.
Nqoba was just taking some rest, he felt really
drained and tired. He just thought that a small nap
will help him get rid of the stress he had, it's been
three hours and he was fast asleep. The sound of
the rain drops outside made him feel a lot better,
he was woken up by his phone vibrating on the bed
as if it was ringing.

He slowly opened his eyes which were red in colour,

he wipes his mouth and checked the caller ID. It was
Madison, he answered real quick and placed it on
his ear.
Nqoba: Madison?

Madison: boss you need to come to the office now

Nqoba: I'm busy Madison I can't come to the office,

what is going on?

Madison: I just arrived at the office and I got a call

from the bank that all your accounts are empty, it
looks like you were bankrupt

Nqoba: what? how is that possible?

He sat up straight and his room door flew open,

Nathi got inside while looking at his phone with his
facial expression filled with disbelief.
Nathi: bhuti you have to see this...

Nqoba raised his finger stopping him.

Nqoba: Madison check again...

Madison: I did sir but...

Nathi: Bhuti my money is gone in fact all of our

cash is gone, our accounts are empty

He shouts loudly and Nqoba's jaw dropped.

Madison: boss is everything okay?

Nqoba: everything is fine, I will fix all of this

Madison: but sir we need to...

Nqoba hung up and clenched his jaw getting off the
bed, he wore his slippers and he sighs.

Nathi: Nqoba did you hear what I just said...

Nqoba: I'm not deaf Zinathi...

Nathi: we both know who did this

Nqoba deeply sighs and started experiencing sharp

pain on his left side of the brain.

Nqoba: Nathi dude I'm stressed out and I'm trying

to figure out a solution, can you get out so I can
take a shower?

Nathi: why do you look chilled?

Nqoba: the fuck you want me repeating myself
now?

He roars Ponting a finger at him and Nathi walks

out, Nqoba felt really angry and he picked up the
side lamp throwing it down on the floor.

He cursed entering the bathroom and he stripped

naked then stepped inside the shower, he took a
cold shower and he felt the sharp pain fading away.

He turns off the tap and he dries his body, he

lotioned his body and he got dressed into clean
clothes he told Siliva to buy yesterday night.

He heads out to the cafeteria, the hotel has turned

into their house since they don't have a house to
stay in. He made himself a cup of black coffee while
viewing his bank account which had billions few
days ago but now has zero rands, he walks to his
office where he found his brothers going crazy
about their empty accounts.

Vezo: Nqoba did you see this?

Fiso: we are completely broke

Nathi: how are we suppose to love without cash, we

don't have any houses or cars...we are broke B-R-O-
K-E just in case you need me to sleep it put for you
so it can sink inside your head

Nqoba: can y'all stop nagging and making noise it's

irritating

He sat down on his chair and drank his coffee while

staring at the rain outside, his brothers just stopped
arguing with one another and they looked at how
chill and calm Nqoba is handling the situation.

Nathi approaches him.

Nathi: I don't mean to be a nuisance but why are

you chilled about everything that just happened?

Nqoba: you need to move in a consistent phase

don't rush into anything, sometimes you need to
forget that you have issues and just relax

Vezo: they have Anesu and Ntethe and here you are
talking about relaxing

Nqoba remains silent and finished his coffee.

Fiso: you are so unbelievable

Nqoba: go ahead use your anger and turn the whole
city upside down searching for him, go crazy and
make careless decisions because that us exactly
what he wants

Vezo: we should be like that not sitting here and

relaxing

Nqoba chuckles.

Nqoba: Siliva get the your cars and man ready we

will be moving in five and make sure they have
eaten because what we are about to do requires
strength

Nathi: we are going to kill the lunatic right?

Nqoba looks at Nathi and smiles.

Nqoba: something far better then that

He gave him a pat on the shoulder.

Nqoba: get dressed you will find me outside

Nathi: get dressed for what?

Nqoba: you will see let's go

He went downstairs and the rain wasn't doing them

any justice, Nqoba sat inside the car while waiting
for his brother who cane out after a few minutes.
He looks at the way they were dressed and he
chuckles.
Nqoba: are you sure you are going to go dressed
like that?

Vezo: kanti what are we going to do?

Nqoba: we going to play muddypuddle

Nathi: muddy what?

Nqoba chuckles and got inside the car, he was the

first to drove out so they followed behind him. It
was a long drive but it was worth it, they arrived on
some bare land which was covered in mud. Nqoba
wore a rain coat he brought and he steps out of the
car, he took a few steps as if he was look for a spot
while he stumped his feet on the ground.

He found a spot and he smiles, he signals Siliva to

Bring the shovels and Siliva did as he was told.
Fiso: brother what is this?

Nqoba: don't ask any questions start digging

Nathi: start what?

Nqoba gave him a stare and Nathi picked up the

shovel, they started digging on the wet sand and
Nqoba was seated in the car with his bottle of
whiskey in hand. They stayed there for five hours
digging and the whole was already huge, Nathi felt
like punching Nqoba as he watched his seated
there, Fiso felt like crying his lungs out and Vezo
was just frustrated to think of anything because he
knows that if he starts thinking about Nqoba
relaxing while they work he will take out his gun
and shoot him in the leg.
Nathi: this is pointless brother what are we looking
for? treasure?

Nqoba chuckles.

Siliva: I think I found something

Nqoba: you wanna find out?

He stood up and walked to the others, he took a

shovel from Vezo's hand and he started digging till a
huge box was revealed. The removed the sand on
top of the box and Nqoba took out a key from his
pocket, he opens the box and there was more then
ten black LV bags inside, Nathi took out one bag and
he opens it.

Nathi: cash!
He shouts taking out a band on cash and showing it
to everyone.

Nqoba: I guess it was treasure after all

Fiso: you made us dig alone

Nqoba: I SAVED the money and dug it inside this

hole alone so I thought you should dig it up this
time

Fiso: yeah great

They load the begs into the car and they drove
straight to the hotel, the first thing everyone did
was take a shower and Nqoba ordered some food
from the Shisanyama for everyone after he was
done taking the shower.
Nqoba was standing in the kitchen and Nathi
approached him.

Nathi: so what is your plan exactly?

Nqoba: first we going to look for a snitch then

continue with the plan

Nathi: you think we have a snitch?

Nqoba: trust me there is always a snitch

Nathi shrugs and left.

the food arrived and they all sat down enjoying

their food, once they were done Nqoba cleared his
throat and they all paid attention.
Nqoba: so this is what's going to happen, we are
going to use this money to buy explosives and Vezo
over there will help in making a huge ass bomb
which we will plant in that mine the lunatic cares so
much about...

Nathi: now you are talking, he blew our shit and

took our money now we gonna double things up

Nqoba: once we are done with that we are going to

look for girls, Siliva you will be in charge of
that...those girls will seduce the old man and drug
him then inject a tracker inside him...

Siliva: I got you boss

Nqoba: while the old man drive home we will set his
house on fire meaning of course he will have no
other place to go and we will bomb the mine
meaning he will have to meet up with his son and
come up with a revenge plan...

He sat down on the couch.

Nqoba: we will be two steps ahead of him, track the

old man down and find the lunatic. rescue the girls
and kill the lunatic

Nathi: now you are talking....

Nqoba: we can drink to that now

He sat down and he drank, he noticed one of the

security gaurds leaving the hotel heading to the
bathroom. Nqoba stood up and followed the guy,
he sneaked inside the toilet and the guy was talking
in the phone.
"yes I heard his plan he will..."

Nqoba stood behind the guy and took out his gun.

Nqoba: he will what?

The guy turns around and raised his hands in the

air, he looked at Nqoba in the eyes and he went
down on his knees.

"boss I swear I didn't..."

Nqoba clicked his tongue and shot him in both legs,

hearing the sound of the bullets his brothers came
running with their guns out.

Fiso: what happened?

Nathi: he found a snitch

Nqoba: get a chair and tie him up, Vezo take his
phone and track that number down

Vezo: sure case

Nqoba: now you are going to start singing...

He said pointing at the guy.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 33
NARRATIVE.
Siliva came with the Chair and they tied the guy up
inside the rest room, Vezo was leaning on the door
having a smoke and Fiso stood next to his twin as
they exchanged cigarettes. Nathi and Nqoba were
busy having turns with the snitch as they punched
him till his whole face had bruises.

Nathi felt tired and he steps back but Nqoba did not
stop, he punches him on the stomach and the snitch
cried out loud begging Nqoba to stop.

Nqoba gave him one last pick across the face and he
spits on the floor.

Nqoba: I'm asking you again and this time I'm asking
nicely, who were you talking to over the phone?

"I was talking to nobody boss," he said

Nathi clicked his tongue and went on punched the
guy once more, he could feel a lot of pains in his
knuckles but he did not stop.

Nqoba walks to Vezo and Fiso, he took the half

smoked blunt and he had a puff, he hands Vezo the
blunt and he looks at him.

Nqoba: where you able to track down the phone?

Vezo: I was but I lost the person in the middle of

searching for him or her

Fiso: we all know that this is a male and we both

know who is sent this snitch here

Nqoba: okay it's simple though I will let the guy tell
me
He turns around and he slowly pulled Nathi away
from the guy, Nathi was breathing heavily and he
was already on his beast mode.

Nqoba: we are not going to stop punching you

unless you tell us who sent you here and trust me
we can go on with this the whole night and co
tongue first thing in the morning... it's your choice

Vezo: let's just put a bullet on his head

Nqoba: that is easy....

He grabs the guy by the neck tightening his grib on

his neck as the guy struggled to breath, Nqoba
smirks when he started to see his veins popping on
his forehead and Nathi starts laughing.

Nathi: choke the motherfucker

He laughs even harder and Nqoba let's go of the
guy.

Nqoba: Nathi beat him up again

"wait wait wait..."

Nqoba: I'm listening?

Nathi: in fact we are all listening, tell us who sent

you? tell us who sacrificed your life to us...

"It was Sphiwe boss, he told me that I should gather

information for him concerning your futher plans
and he will pay for my daughter's medical bills, she
is in the hospital and she's suffering from cancer
and needs to have a surgery soon or else I'm going
to loose her..."
The guy starts crying and Nqoba had no sympathy
over the guy.

Nqoba: and you thought snitching on me would pay

your daughters medical bills? who is Siliva to toy?

"he is my boss."

Nqoba: couldn't you talk to him concerning your

daughter? couldn't you think and be a man lower
your pride and ask for his help...

"he wouldn't have done nothing, he is also in a lot

of debts and..."

Nqoba gave the guy a hot slap on his face.

Nqoba: okay here's a question who am I to you?

"you are the big boss."

Nqoba: couldn't you talk to me and...

He clicks his to tie seeing how pointless all of this

way.

Nqoba: Nathi send this nigga to hell

Nathi: with pleasure

He smiles taking out his gun and cocking it, Nqoba

walks out and he stops on his tracks in front of
Vezo.
Nqoba: take 500k from the cash we have send it to
his daughters hospital anonymously

Vezo: okay I will

Nqoba heads out and called a meeting with

everyone, he just stood there with a glass of whisky
in hand and his gulps down everything.

Nqoba: if anyone in this room is a snitch or is even

thinking of snitching on me should leave, the door is
open for anyone who has that desire of snitching on
me because if you stay now and continue with
whatever plan you have I WILL KILL YOUAND I
WON'T BE MERCIFUL

He clenched his jaw and the room filled with silence

as everyone had their heads down.
Nqoba: I hope it stays like that because I'm not in
the mood of killing anyone I just want to get my
woman home safely

He said and he placed the glass down.

Nqoba: Vezo, Nathi, Fiso and Siliva my office

now...we have a lot to discuss

He went to his office and he sat down on his chair,

his brothers along with Siliva walked in.

Nathi: so what's the next move? we are still blowing

his shit up right?

Nqoba: of course we are...we are going to set that

motherfucker on fire

He smiles widely and leans closer.

Nqoba: so this is what we are going to do first...
.
.
.
.
It was early times of the morning around 1AM and
Mr Khoza barged into his room kissing a girl who
kept on moaning as he squeezed her ass tightly, Mr
Khoza groaned as he felt his buldge getting even
more harder then it should be. The girl pulls out
from the kiss and pushed Mr Khoza on the bed, she
bites her lower lip giggling and she got on top of
him.

His hands travel to the back of her dress and he

unzips her dress, she pulls out from the kiss and
held her dress tightly as she started to feel a little
bit nervous.
Her: I'm sorry but can I use the bathroom first?

Mr Khoza: we just started having fun baby girl why

do you...

The woman placed a finger on his lips.

Her: you don't want me messing up your sheets

now do you?

He shook his head.

Her: great now let me use the bathroom and be a

good boy

she giggles getting off him heading to the

bathroom, she quickly locks the room door and
touched the inside of her ear which had a earpiece
communication device.

Her: Siliva can you hear me?

she whispers.

Siliva: yeah I can hear you. we could even hear you

as you moaned while sucking that old's man Siliva

Her: Siliva can we get back to business?

Nathi laughs in the background.

Nathi: yes we can get back to business

Her: what do I have to do?

Nathi: block the toilet

Her: how on earth am I suppose to block the toilet?

Nathi: figure it out?

"darling us everything okay in there?"

Mr Khoza shouts and the woman starts panicking.

Her: yes everything is fine...I will be with you in a

moment

she shouts back and starts biting her nails, she saw
a six pack of toilet paper laying on the ground and
she instantly came up with the solution to her
problem. She took out the brow roll in the middle of
each toilet paper and she dipped every roll inside
and started flushing, once everything was put of
sight and water starts flowing up the toilet the girl
knew just then that she did the right job.

She smiles widely and closed the toilet, she looks at

herself in the mirror and wipes off her sweat.

Her: okay I'm done, what should I do now?

Nathi: drug him and have sex with him, insert the
tracker and get out of there

Siliva: make sure to turn the earpiece off we don't

want to hear your moans

The woman rolls her eyes and turns off the

earpiece, she came out of the bathroom and found
Mr Khoza having a glass of whiskey while seated on
the bed.
Mr Khoza: that took you rather to long

Her: a woman has got to do her business

Mr Khoza: mmmh come over here...

He signals her to come sit on his lap and the woman

slowly walks up to him, she set on his lap and he
squeezed his thighs.

Mr Khoza: I can't wait to eat you up all night

Her: I can't wait to have you buried deep inside

me...

she moans and licked his button lip, she looks into
his eyes and she took the cup from his hand. She
stood up positioning herself proparly on top of him
with her legs spread wide open and thier private
parts connected. She placed the left arm which had
the hand that had the glass on hus shoulder, her
hand slowlu moved tp her breasts taking out a pill
she had hiden in there.

To distract the old man she gave him a passionate

kiss as she slowly took out the hand from her bra,
she wraps her right arm on his other shoulder and
drops the pill inside the glass. The pill disolved
inside the drink and he slowly slides his hand in
between her thighs and plays with her clit.

she lets out a moan and he increased the phase as

she became wet, she bites her lower lip holding in
het moans. He played with her clit till she cummed
and he licked his finger, she removed her arms from
hus shoulder and he gladly took the glass while
looking straight into her eyes, he gulpled it all done
and placed the glass aside and he grabbed the
woman by the neck pulling her closer for a kiss.
He slowly helped her take off the dress she was
wearing and she unbuttons his pants, even though
this wasn't part of her plan she was super horny at
the moment and really needs the old man to fuck
her real bad.

She pulls out from the kiss and went to lie in the
middle of the bed with her legs wide open, the old
man smiled and approached her. She slides her
hand inside his pants and took out his shaft, the old
man suddenly felt a little bit dizzy and everything in
the room started spinning.

He felt his eyes slowly shutting down and he

colupsed on top of the girl.

Her: really? did he have to...

she clicks her tongue and she was now facing a new
challenge which was moving the old man off her,
she laid down for a few seconds gathering her
strength and she pushed the old man to the other
side of the bed.

She got off the bed and she starts getting dressed,
she went to her bed and she took out a cigarette
and a lighter.

she starts smoking.

Her: you really had to pass put before fucking me

huh?

she clicks her tongue and she turns on her earpiece.

Her: talk to me

Siliva: okay that was fast...

Her: whatever man the fuck must I do next

Nathi: you sound sexually frustrated did he give it to

you?

the woman clicks her to the once more and Nathi

began laughing his crazy ass off, the woman was
really pissed this time and she wanted to get over
and done with everything.

Siliva: you remember the injection we came you?

do you still have it

Her: yeah I do remember and of course I have it

Siliva: inject him on his left arm

Her: and that's it?

Siliva: yeah I think so

The girl took her purse and she search for the
injection, once she found it she climbed on the bed
and she starts injecting the old man while he was
fast asleep.

Her: okay I'm done and what should I do next?

Siliva: you should leave we are outside waiting for

you

Nathi: no no no she can't leave just like that, he will

be suspicious

Her: what do you suppose I do? I bet you can't even

think of anything since you laugh a lot
Siliva: Nomvelo can you...

Nathi: ohh that's her name huh?

Nomvelo: can you tell me what I should I next? I

want to get out of this place real quick

Nathi: write a note for him and leave something he

will remember you with

Nomvelo: something he will remember me with like

what?

Nathi: take out your panty and leave it there

Nomvelo: what? I'm not doing that

Nathi: do it or he will be suspicious

Nomvelo rolls her eyes and she took out her panty,
she searched for a piece of paper and a pen, she
wrote something naughty and placed it on the
table.

Nomvelo: I'm done

Nathi: now mess up your hair and get out

Nomvelo did as she as stold and she walked out the

mansion with her heels in hand as the rain poured
on her, the security gaurds watched her as she
walked swaying her ass side to side and they gladly
opened the gate for her.

She noticed a black BMW parked few feets away

and she walked to the car, she got inside the back
seat and guess who she found? Zinathi seated there
with amusement written all over his face, not
actually written but you get me right? yeah

Nomvelo: ohh it's you again

Nathi: I'm not the one you should be angry with,

trust me I'm a good guy

Nomvelo: whatever Siliva just take me home

Siliva looks at Nathi and He sat back with a smirk on

her face.

Nathi: I will drop you off at the hotel and I will take
her home

Siliva: whatever you say boss

Siliva drove to the hotel and he got out of the car,
Nathi went to the drivers side and he clears his
throat looking at Nomvelo through the review
mirror.

Nathi: come sit at the front

Nomvelo: why should i?

Nathi: just listen to me and get your ass here

Nomvelo rolls her eyes and she got out of the car,
she came to seat at the front seat and once she was
seated her thighs were exposed and her dress
became shorter.

Nathi stares at her bare thighs and he swallowed.

Nomvelo: start the car

He looks at her in the eyes and he starts the car, she

directs him to her place and he parked outside.

Nathi: we are here

Nomvelo: yes we are, unlock the door for me

Nathi: you think I'm going to let you go that easily?

Nomvelo: what...ahhh

she released a moan when he unexpectedly

grabbed by the neck pulling her face closer to his,
she did not fight with him as they both stared into
each other eyes. His impatience grew harder the
same way his erection grew hard as she bites her
lower lip luring him in, he didn't waste anytime.
He smashed his lips on her and she responds to the
kiss wrapping her hands around his neck, his hands
simply moved in between her legs and she opens
her thighs giving him excess as he slides two finger
inside her wet vigina.

she moans and Nathi smiles in between the kiss, he

pulls out and looks at her as she held in her moans
while he moved his fingers deep inside her.

Nathi: now be a good girl and don't mess up my

seats or you are going to be in trouble...

she moans pulling him closer and unfortunately one

thing led to another, Nathi got a piece of it in fact
that wasn't a piece. He got her coochie delivered in
a silver platter and he drove back with a smile on
his face, ad he parked his car he found Siliva there
having a smoke.
Siliva: you did it?

Nathi: kanti who am I? don't they call me the player

now give me my cash

Siliva laughs a little and he took out 1k, he gave it to

Nathi and He counts it.

Nathi: never make a bet with me because you are

going to loose, always

He winks and walks inside, Siliva leaned against the

wall and he shook his head.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 34
MR KHOZA

Morning came as if it was never going to arrive and

Mr Khoza woke up with his head spinning as if he
was using it all night to play spin the bottle, every
brain cell of his was aching as he sat up straight
trying to recall what happened last night and it
seemed like he as struggling to remember what
really went down last night.

He got off his bed and he morning shoes were on

the side of the bed ready for his feets to embrace
them and as he held the side of his head feeling a
sharp pain his eyes spot a hand written note and a
panty...let me be specific it wasn't just any panty it's
one of those panties that make your boyfriends go
crazy and loose their minds, it was a red thong and
Mr Khoza took it into his hands and slowly brought
it closer to his nose as he took a wild sniff at it.
He smiles widely proud that he had some of that
last night but little does he know, he colups in the
middle of the dead before he could even have his
crooked penis inside the poor girl.

He stands up and stretches himself and he walks to

the bathroom while whistling, you could tell he was
in a good mood but all that good mood and wide
Colgate idiot smile disappeared when he opened
the bathroom door only to find water all of the
floor.

He held the bridge of his nose and clenched his

teeth in frustration, he slowly walks to his bed and
he picks up his phone which was on top of the night
stand and he calls in his house manager.

The phone rang and was answered by a sweet

angelic voice.
"Mr Khoza good morning, how can I help you sir?"

The house manager said.

Mr Khoza: I hired you to do a simple job, the most

simplest job in the word...

He paused and sighs.

"what seems to be the problem sir?"

Mr Khoza: my bathroom is filled with water and it

seems like the toilet, get someone on this and have
it fixed immiedielty

"yes sir I will do just that."

Mr Khoza rolls his eyes and he hung up, he took his
toiletries and he went to take a shower on one of
the guest rooms.

Once he was done he got dressed and ready for

work, he went downstairs and breakfast was ready
for him. He sat down and had his breakfast while
watching the news, he took a quick look at his wrist
watch and he got up taking his brief case which was
on top of the counter.

He walks out of the house and a car was already

waiting for him, he got inside and the drive took
him to his work place.

...

[BACK AT THE HOTEL]

Vezo has been glued on his seat since morning
waiting for a movement from Mr Khoza, He sat
there rocking back and forth on his chair with his
forehead sweating. He was feeling anxious about
this hole plan and Nathi came to join him, he hands
him a cup of coffee and when he saw movement he
knew that the tracker was working. He watched the
red dot move out of the mansion and he got up his
seat, he did a handshake with Nathi.

Vezo: I knew it would work

Nathi: you smart ass

He smiles.

Fiso: what are y'all being happy about?

Vezo: the tracker work meaning there s no need to
kill that bitch for doing a bad job

Nathi: you were going to kill her?

Siliva: yes we were going to kill her...

He says leaning on the door frame while eating

some grapes which he had in a bowl, Nathi shifts his
attention to him.

Siliva: did you catch feelings?

Vezo: why would he catch feelings?

Siliva smiles looking at Nathi.

Siliva: should I tell them that you happened or I
should keep quite?

Nathi: Nigga what is your problem? you boring me

now...

He clicks his tongue and Vezo laughs a little.

Vezo: you fucked her?

Siliva: of course he fucked her

Nqoba: who fucked who?

He asked walking inside the room and Nathi gave

the other a quick look while he stood up straight.
Nathi: we are just talking about a movie, you good
brother?

Nqoba nods and he stood in front of them with

hands inside his pocket.

Nqoba: Vezo did you find out which plumbing

company they called to you know unblock the toilet

Vezo: oh yes I did I got all the details

Nqoba: okay cool Nathi take a few man and take

some cash with you to bribe the plumber, wear
their uniform and blend in then you can start
planting the bombs around the house

Nathi: you do know that place is heavily guarded?

Nqoba: right now we seem to have no choice okay?
will you be able to do this or not?

Nathi hesitates for a second.

Nathi: alright fine I will do it

Nqoba: good then start moving

Nathi nods and he left the office, he arrived outside

and he handpicked a few gaurds whom he will take
with him. They start loading the car with bombs, he
took some cash like Nqoba instructed and they
drove off to meet with the plumber.

They arrived at the location and Nathi walks inside,

the plumber and his crew was about to leave. It
didn't take that much time to bribe the plumber,
Nathi and the plumber shook hands. They were
given some uniform and they wore it, they took one
guy from the plumbers crew so they don't raise ant
suspicion.

They load everything into the van and they drove to

the Khoza mansion, they parked outside the gate
and the gaurd walks out.

Nathi was seated in the front seat with his stuffed

fat tummy and beard on just for disguise, The gaurd
knocks on the window and Nathi rolls down the
window.

He clears his throat and spoke using a fake voice.

Nathi: good morning sir we are the plumbers we

heard that there was some problem with the toilet
and we are here to fix that problem
The gaurd looks at Nathi while squirting his eyes.

"why do I feel like I know you from somewhere?"

the gaurd asked

Nathi: I unblock toilet, showers, sinks and if you

have had one of those problems I'm sure you must
recognize my face since I be doing a great job with
my crew

He say and smiles widely.

"yeah right I don't trust you so I'm going to keep a

close eye on you, let them in," he spoke on his
communicating device and the gate opens, Nathi
thanks the gaurd and they drove in.

Nathi breathes out and the drive parks the car right
in front of the door step, Nathi steps out of the car
and he rubs his fake fat tummy then scratched his
butt.

He opens the back of the van and his crew of guys

came out with their begs, Nathi had the small
plumber bag in had and he saw how the security
guy that allowed them inside was looking at him.

He walks inside with his crew and luckily there

weren't any security in sight, Nathi took off his hat
and he breathes out before pointing at the real
plumber.

Nathi: you go upstairs and unblock that toilet take

as much time you want

The guy nods and he went upstairs to Mr Khoza's

room which was flooded with water.
Nathi: let's get to work then

They started planting bombs around the house and

they did this in a discrete manner even though this
one security guy had a close eye on them which
annoyed Nathi to the core but he felt great because
when this mansion explodes the security guy will
also explode into pieces.

The plumber upstairs finished his job and Nathi left

with his crew, they drove back to the hotel and he
arrived only to find his brothers outside by the pool
side having what seems like a party.

Nathi went to change into clean clothes and went to

join everyone, Nqoba walks to him and hands him a
glass of whisky.

Nqoba: everything sorted?

Nathi: everything is smooth

Nqoba: now we wait

Nathi: cheers to burning shit down

Nqoba chuckles.

Nqoba: cheers

They made a toast and Nqoba laughs a little then

drank his whisky.

they all had amazing fun and it's funny how the
hotel has simply turned into their home in such a
short period of time.
Evening came and it was time for Mr Khoza to knock
off work, he gathered his files which he will be
working on while at home and he called the driver
to bring the car around. The walks put his office and
he locks it, his security gaurd was right outside the
door.

He took an elevator which took him to the button

floor and he walks out the building, the driver was
already waiting on him and the security gaurd
opens the door for him.

He got inside and the security gaurd got inside his

car, The cars took off heading back to the mansion.
Mr Khoza rolled down the window as the car drove,
he was nearly near his house when he suddenly saw
a large cloud of smoke in the air which looked like it
was coming from the direction he was heading to.
He told the driver to continue driving and when he
arrived his mansion was burning to the ground,
there was no sign of life. He steps out of the car and
he carried his hands on top of his head.

Mr Khoza: not my house, I paid millions for this

house...

He starts crying and the security gaurd walks out.

"sir please get inside the car and I will take you
somewhere safe," the gaurd said and Mr Khoza
wasn't having any of it.

Mr Khoza: I don't want to go anywhere safe I want

names of the people who did this

He shouts.
"I will get you the names sir but for now just get
inside the car, it doesn't look safe."

Mr Khoza: get your hands off me and drive me to

my son's place

"but sir said..."

Mr Khoza: you work for me now you are going to do

as I say or I will hire someone else who will listen
when I give them an order

He clicks his tongue and he went inside his car, thr

driver started the car driving to Sphiwe's current
location.

Mr Khoza took out his phone and dailed Sphiwe's

number.
He breaths out trying to calm his anger down but
breathing wasn't helping in this situation, the old
man was furious.

Sphiwe answered.

Sphiwe: baba? (father?) I told you not to call me

unless it's a emergency...

Mr Khoza interrupts him.

Mr Khoza: of course this is a Goddamn emergency

you should have listen to me when I told you to let
those girls go, now my house is on fire because of
your action

Sphiwe: what! they burned down your house

Mr Khoza: they burning down my house I spent
years building listen here boy I won't let you
reckless decisions affect my life, I'm on my way
there and you are going to release those girls

Sphiwe: father I have a plan...

Mr Khoza: fuck your stupid plan, you are even lucky

that I was not inside that house otherwise I would
have died and you would have become an orphan

Sphiwe: a rich one in fact

He chuckles and both their phones recieve a

notification.

Mr Khoza: hold on a second

He removed the phone from his ear and he checks
notification, it was a fire alarm from his mine and
this can only mean one thing.

Sphiwe: THOSE BASTARDS!

He shouts through the phone and Mr Khoza placed

the phone on loud speaker.

Mr Khoza: do you see what you have done?

Sphiwe: I'm going to kill those Dube boys...

Mr Khoza: killing them won't bring everything back,

you know what we have lost? the only way that we
were able to make money

Sphiwe: they don't know who I am, they don't know

who i am and this time I'm going to show them who
I really am, I'm going to set these girls on fire and I
will make them watch every second of it...

He laughs.

Sphiwe: I'm going to fuck them up

Mr Khoza: Sphiwe don't...

Sphiwe drops the call.

Mr Khoza removed it from his ear and finished the

sentence.

Mr Khoza: do anything stupid...

He sighs.
Mr Khoza: drive faster!

He yells at the drive.

ANESU MTSHALI.

I have been laying on the cold floor since yesterday

and I feel like my soul has already left my body
because I can't even move a single inch. They gave
me a hard besting last night and I don't think I will
be able to survive all of thus torture, I don't even
know what they want from me and all of this sucks.

I shouldn't have left that place while it was dark and

I should have got inside that securities car when I
was given a chance, I wouldn't be here if I listened
to Nqoba when he warned me to stay away from
Sphiwe.

Why do I always see good in the bad?

The door opens breaking me out of my thoughts

and Sphiwe walks in, he did not look like he was in
the mood today because he did not say any
insulting words but looked at me.

His aura was a little bit darker then the other days
and he stood opposite me, he had his hands on his
pocket a f he sighs.

Sphiwe: make her stand up

He instructs the security gaurds and I shook my

head.
Anesu: Sphiwe please don't..

He starts punching my stomach and I flinched at the

first punch which inflicted yesterday's wounds were
I was beaten up almost to death, He continued to
punch me on the stomach and I think I broke my rib
because I felt a immense pain on the right side on
my ribcage.

He stops beating me up and I'm in tears.

Sphiwe: you see I was planning on giving you a

break today but your boyfriend and his brothers
pissed me off...

He walks around in the room while talking and I had

my head down.
Sphiwe: they burnt down my father's house and my
mother's mine...They fucking took everything from
me

I don't know were I got the stupid courage to laugh

but I found myself laughing at him, it felt really
scary to laugh at a guy who has been torturing you
brutally but also at the same time it feels so good.

I coughed and flinched in pain.

Sphiwe: you are laughing?

He got closer and grabbed my tightly by the neck

making me look into his eyes, I could feel his dark
energy hovering all over me and I spit on his face.

He closed his eyes and used his other hand to wipe

his face.
Sphiwe: you shouldn't have done that

He whistles and the security gaurd brought

someone in, the person looked really bloody and it's
like they haven't bathed for days.

Sphiwe lifts up my head and made me look at the

person, I couldn't believe my eyes.

Sphiwe: I want you to meet...

Anesu: Ntethe?

my heart skipped a beat and I thought that maybe

my eyes were deceiving me but they wouldn't
recieve me like this.
Ntethe: Anesu? Anesu?

She raised her head and looks at me.

Anesu: I'm right here Ntethe everything is going to

be alright...

I turn to Sphiwe.

Anesu: what did you do to her?

Sphiwe: gave her a few beatings and a few dives on

the pool outside trying to see if she was capable in
holding her breath for long...

He laughs.

Sphiwe: trust me she almost died

Anesu: you sick bastard! you should be in a mental
hospital

Sphiwe: I get that a lot *smiles* take her outside

and bring the petrol

Anesu: petrol? why should they bring the petrol?

Sphiwe: you are going to find out because I'm going

to make you watch

Anesu: no no no no...

I shook my head as they took Ntethe out of the

room and Sphiwe followed behind them. The
security unchained my hands and legs from the long
chain connected to the wall.
They tied my hands using a rope which had another
long string the security gaurd in front of me used to
pull me as we walked out of the room and finally
arrived outside.

Ntethe was made to lean down on the floor and

Some guy had a phone as if he was recording
everything, my heart skipped a beat when I heard
Nqoba's voice.

" what do you think you are doing," Nqoba asked

over the phone

Sphiwe: you started this I didn't want to do it but

y'all forced me...

Ntethe was busy crying and I found myself crying

along with her, I looked at Sphiwe and begged him
with my hands joined together.
Anesu: Sphiwe please don't kill her...please don't...

I cried and Sphiwe recorded me using the phone.

Sphiwe: you see her? look at her because that's the

last time you will be seeing her

Nqoba chuckles.

Why is this man chuckling for? we are about to get

burnt into ashes and he should be begging him not
to do any of this but instead he is chuckling?

Anesu: Sphiwe please...

He gave her a punch on the face and blood started

to come out of my nose, I slowly brought my hands
closer to my face and I wiped the blood coming out
of my nose. I quickly look down at my hands which
are filled with blood and I look at Ntethe whose
crying begging for her life as they poured petrol all
over her body. Ntethe is a good person and she
doesn't deserve this, she doesn't deserve a death
like this.

my shoulders drop and I watched Sphiwe take out

his lighter with a wide smile on his face, I felt a
rumble from afar as the atmosphere started to
change. The wind grew strong each second and the
wind start howling, the clouds slowly gathered and I
don't know were this feeling came from but I felt in
control.

I felt like something strong was building up inside

me and then everything just paused for a second, I
could hear my heart beating it was as if I had my
heart close to my ear because each breath I tool my
heart pumped even harder and faster. I couldn't tell
it was dying or if I was having a panick attach, The
wind grew even stronger and you could hear the
loud sound made by the leaves on the trees as the
wind forcefully struck them.

I slowly breath trying to calm myself down but none

of that was helping, Sphiwe drops the lighter from
his hand and the lighter dropped in slow motion till
it met with the floor and the petrol which caused
Ntethe to be in flames.

Sphiwe laughed stepping back and I screamed, I

screamed so loud that my own ears stopped
hearing and rain started showered down on earth
with the greatest force as if there was an explosive
which went off on the clouds which cause the
clouds to burts making the water stored in them to
drizzle down. It was a storm and you could see the
lighting flashing in the dark grey clouds in the sky
and the wind becoming even more intense.
The rain poured down and the fire simply went off, I
got up from the floor and the rope which was tied
on my hands became loose and dropped to the
floor.

I held Ntethe in my arms and she was burnt but it

wasn't that bad, I brought her closer and I hugged
her really tight.

Anesu: you are going to be okay...you are safe

Sphiwe: don't you just stand there her grab her and
take her inside

He shouts and the sound of his voice somehow

annoyed the burning hell out of me but I won't pay
attention to him all I care about is Ntethe.

Anesu: Ntethe talk to me...

Ntethe: I...I...

She says weakly.

Anesu: okay just squeeze my hand if you are okay

Ntethe squeezed my hand and my heart danced in

you.

Anesu: thank God

I gave her a tight hug as the rain continued to pour

on us, we stayed in that position till the rain
stopped and I didn't even realise that I have been
praying all this time while I held her.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 35
NARRATIVE.

It got really late and the rest of the brothers were

inside the office keeping watch at Mr Khoza's
tracker, Nqoba was at the roof top of the hotel
which showed the whole view of the sky. He stood
at the top as the air blew smoothly and he kept on
taking a slow sip at his whiskey which was in the
glass he had in his hand.

He stared at the stars in the sky and he sighs deeply,

he told his brothers to give him a call when Mr
Khoza is heading back home so he can give them
the orders to blow up the mansion. He stared at tge
stars rememebring the day he sat down and had a
talk with the royal seer, the day he found out that
Anesu was his destined wife chosen by the
amcestors.

He thought of the day he first met her when their

eyes met and they gazed at each other as the whole
world came to a stop, he had this unexplainable
feeling as he pushed everyone around him so he
can get to her before they click pictures of her
naked self.

He starts thinking of the way he was so over

protective of her and how he simply felt like he was
loosing his mind each time something happened to
her.

He gulps down his whiskey and he raised his head

looking up at the sky.

Nqoba: God if you are real and if you are listening

right now I need you to listen to me clear cause I'm
not the type who enjoys repeating themself, I know
I have a lot of blood in my hands and a lot of souls I
have taken with my own bloody hands but I know
that you listen to those pure at heart and I'm not
pure at heart which us why all this is not about me
but this is all about Anesu she's a very good girl and
she is so damn innocent, she does not deserve
whatever that's happening to her and practically it's
all my fault that she was taken...

He looks down and sighs.

Nqoba: can you protect her for me? I'm about to do

something that is very violent and I'm about to risk
my life to get her back, if comes the time where you
think of taking her life then take mine instead
because I don't think I will be able to live with
myself if she died because of me...
His phone vibrates on his pocket, he took it out and
it was a call from Vezo. He answered and placed the
phone on his left ear.

Nqoba: I'm listening

Vezo: he is heading home

Nqoba: blow the shit up

Vezo: okay

Nqoba hung up and took one quick look at the sky.

Nqoba: I trust you big guy and I don't do the trust

stuff that often so don't let me down
He points at the sky and he chuckles realising that
he just did a whole prayer because of girl he seems
to be madly in love with.

He got inside the elevator which took him

downstairs, he arrived on the second floor were he
simply walked to his office.

He found everyone preparing to go on beast mode

as they wore bullet proof vests and loading their
guns with bullets.

Nqoba: everything good?

Nathi: yeah we also blew up the mine

Nqoba: good job now we wait for the motherfucker

to lead us straight to his son and then we kill that
nigga
Fiso: leave him for me will you?

Nqoba: you know I can't do that...

Nathi: what if he escapes?

Vezo hits the back of his head and Nathi points a

gun at him, Siliva and the other gents laugh.

Nathi: what did you do that for?

Vezo: you being stupid why would he escape?

Nathi: because I don't know but there is a eighty

percent chance he night escape

Fiso: yeah funny

He rolls his eyes.

Nqoba: if he escapes I will cut out your tongue

Nathi: I was just...

Vezo: Shut up will you?

Nathi: you are really frustrated aren't you? relax

after this we are going to party all night and eat
some pussy

Fiso clicks his tongue and rolled his eyes.

Nqoba: everything with you has to involve sex...

He shook his head and his phone vibrates in his
hand, he checks the screen and it was a video call
from an unknown number.

my brothers looks at me.

Nathi: is it written lunatic?

Fiso pokes him with his elbow on his left arm and
Nathi rubbed his left arm.

Nathi: ouch! that hurts

Nqoba: Vezo connect this to the huge screen

Vezo: on it...and...done
Nqoba answered and the video call showed on the
huge screen in the centre of the room, the first
thing they saw was Sphiwe's face as he laughed his
lungs out.

Sphiwe: welcome back to my YouTube channel and

guess what I have for you?

He flipped the camera and showed them Ntethe

who was tied with ropes down in her knees as they
poured petrol all over her body.

Nqoba: what do you think you are doing

Fiso: what are you doing with her? what is that you
are pouring on her? what are you doing?

Sphiwe: you did a very crazy and reckless thing by

burning my mother's mine down, I don't give a
single crap about my father's house but my
mother? that means a lot to me and I thought why
don't I do the same thing you did with my mother's
mine to your girls....

He laughs a little.

Sphiwe: I thought that why don't I burn them down

with the petrol

Nathi: this guy is crazy

Sphiwe: you started this I didn't want to do this but

y'all forced me...

Ntethe started crying and Fiso just burst out into

tears as well that alone frustrated Nqoba but he
didn't want to give Sphiwe what he wanted, he
didn't want him to have all the power on everything
that was happening here.

Anesu: Sphiwe please don't kill her...please don't

She cried and Sphiwe flips the camera showing

Anesu, Seeing her all bruised up really broke
Nqoba's heart and he wanted to jump into the
screen and kill Sphiwe this very second but he kept
his cool even though it was very hard for him but he
has to.

Sphiwe: you see her? look at her because that's the

last time you will be seeing her

Nqoba simply let's out a chuckle and Sphiwe raised

his one eyebrow up, Nqoba hung up the call and he
looks at Vezo.
Nqoba: tell me the old man is on the move and has
something to give us

Vezo: his on the move brother

Nqoba: get the man ready we are moving out now

He shouts and Siliva nods walking out of the room,

the man outside gathered and they all got inside
each and every car that was present outside. Nqoba
steps out of the hotel, he was wearing his bullet
proof vest and he was armed meaning he was really
for war.

He looks up at the sky and noticed how the clouds

were all gathering up together as if a huge storm
was approaching, he saw the flashes of lighting right
up in the sky and felt the sudden change of the
wind. The weather was cool and perfect few
seconds ago, why is there a sudden change? he
asked himself ad he got inside the car with Vezo.

The crew drove out following Mr Khoza but on a

different route so Mr Khoza doesn't get suspicious,
They were still on the road when the rain started
drizzling on them with full force.

The was a loud rumble of thunder and it felt like the

earth also shook along with the rumble, Nqoba
looks at the guy who was driver then back and Vezo
who was seated at the back sit focused on his
laptop.

Vezo: this isn't a good sign

Nqoba: shut up and continue looking at the tracker

Vezo: I am looking at the tracker Nqoba...

He paused.

Vezo: wait I'm having troubles here the screen

keeps on glitching and I don't known if it's the
signal or the sudden bad weather

Nqoba: then fix whatever problem because we can't

loose that tracker...

He shouts furiously and the driver continued driving

even though we was struggling to drive because the
droplets of the rain covered the screen and the
wipes weren't helping at all but instead they made
the situation a little bit worse.

As they continued to drive and the rain slowly

stopped, the sky started to become clear.
Vezo: I'm back on screen

silence.

Vezo: we should arrive in about a few minutes

"I can see the huge gate," the driver said and Nqoba
instructed the drive to stop, Nathi just clicked his
tongue as he has been impatient for a this moment.

He opened the sunroof of the car and took out the

sniper from its bag, he instructed the guys to move
back as he positioned his snipper looking for a great
shot.

...

Mr Khoza finally arrived at the location and the

driver parked next to the other cars, Mr Khoza did
not wait for the driver to stop the car engine he
jumped out of his car and his jaw dropped when he
saw crying Anesu on the ground.

He gave his son a disappointed look and he points

his finger at him.

Mr Khoza: Sphiweyinkosi this has to come to an

end. I warned you to...

He couldn't finish his sentence because Nathi who

was from a far finally found his perfect shot which
was the back of Mr Khoza's skull.

Mr Khoza's body drops to the floor and Nathi

laughed then bites his lower lip, he slides back to
the inside of the car with his sniper and pressed on
his communicator on his ear.
Nathi: I'm sorry brother but I had to take the shot

He smiles and Siliva looks at him shaking his head.

Nathi: what?

He shrugs.

[BACK TO SPHIWE]

Sphiwe looks at the body of his father which was on

the floor and looked were the shot cane from, he
saw more then a hundred car lamps flashing at him
approaching the gate and the alarm simply went off
notifying all the security gaurds that they are under
attach.

The gun fight began as Vezo hacked into Sphiwe's

system opening the gate and allowed everyone the
permission inside. The cars came to a Hult as
Sphiwe's security started firing and they all fired
every bullet which was inside their guns till they ran
out of the bullet.

That is when Nathi opened the door to his car, he

stepped out with his crew and they started firing at
the security gaurds killing them one by one. It was a
gun fight, Sphiwe clicked his tongue as Zungu
covered him. Anesu just held on tight to Ntethe as
the bullets fired and Sphiwe quickly ran to Anesu,
he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her with him.

Anesu fought with him and it seemed like she was

winning over when she used her elbow to hit him
on the rib, slips out of his grib and she gave Sphiwe
what seemed light a light push on the chest which
turned out to be more then that when Sphiwe flew
across the room landing on top of a glass table as it
broke the minute his weight was on top of it.
Zungu's jaw dropped and he stared at Anesu.

Anesu: I told you not to touch me...

she gnashed his teeth with both her hands forming

a fist, Sphiwe was bleeding on his forehead and he
woke up sitting up straight as his head felt really
heavy.

He looks at the broken pieces of glass scattered

around him and he looks at Anesu who stood there.

Sphiwe: what the fuck?

He coudlnt believe that a small push from a girl like

her made so much damage, he smiled wickedly
when Zungu used the back of his gun to hit Anesu at
the back of the head causing her to colups on the
floor.
Zungu: I got you boss

Sphiwe: I had it...i did not ask for you help

He immiedielty said when Zungu was trying to help

him out of the floor, Zungu steps back and Sphiwe
saw that the gun fight that was taking place outside
was slowly coming to an end as his security was out
numbered.

Zungu: you need to get out of here boss

Sphiwe: I'm taking her with me

Zungu: okay boss, take the car at the back and I will
cover you
Sphiwe: you have done nothing but a great job, you
served your time well

Zungu: it was my honour working for you sir

He shook hands with Sphiwe and he carried Anesu

to the garage, he looks at her and placed her at the
back of the boot.

Sphiwe got inside the car and as Zungu closed the

boot a bullet lands on his left leg and he slowly
turned around to face the person who shot him and
it was Nqoba.

Zungu chuckles.

Zungu: you are late. you are never going to see your
girl again
Sphiwe starts the car and drove off in great speed,
Nqoba shot Zungu on the head and he badly
wanted to shoot at the car but Anesu was inside the
boot and he didn't want to hurt her.

He cursed.

Nqoba: fuck!

He phased up and down.

"did you find her? we only found Ntethe?" Vezo

asked on the communicator

Nqoba: the bastard drove off and she's in the car...I

swear I will kill Zinathi and his stupid what if

He clicks his tongue.

"let me track him down and maybe we will find
him," Vezo said and Nqoba shook his head, he saw a
motorcycle right next to him and the keys hanging
on the wall.

Nqoba: forget that I will go after him, track me

using my phone and come with back up

"sure thing boss," Vezo said and Nqoba took the car
keys hanging on the wall, he wore the helmet and
he starts the motorcycle.

He rode off following Sphiwe's car and it was really

dark on the road, he increased the speed on the
motorcycle and he was right next to Sphiwe.
Nqoba reached out for his gun at the back of his
jeans but Sphiwe beats him to it as he rolled down
the window and started shooting at him.

Sphiwe: why can't you just go away?

He shouts firing once more and Nqoba decreased

the phase, he finally had his hands on his gun and
he shot the left back tire of the car and smoke
started coming out.

Sphiwe cursed inside the car and Nqoba increased

the speed on the motorcycle, he saw that they were
approaching a bridge and while he was looking at
the bridge Sphiwe was aiming tight at him and he
pulls the trigger hitting Nqoba's helmet.

Nqoba lost control of the motorcycle and he drove

to the other side of the road, the motorcycle was in
pretty bad shape and so was he. He took off the
helmet and luckily the bullet did not go through, he
had blood coming out of his nose and he slowly
limps as he climbed the steep slope of grass heading
to the road.

He breathes out and spits out the blood which he

had on his mouth, he saw that Sphiwe stopped his
car at the bridge. Sphiwe was outside and he was
grabbing tight at Anesu's hair with a bullet pointed
on her head.

Nqoba's back up arrived and he stops the cars, Vezo

and Nathi got out of the car. Nathi looked like he
was in pretty bad shape though he did not care.

Nathi: brother he...

Nqoba: stay in the car I got this

He slowly limps to Sphiwe's direction till he arrived,
he raised his hands up in the air and Sphiwe
removed the gun from Anesu's head and he points
at Nqoba.

Sphiwe: don't move another inch

Nqoba: Sphiwe man it's over just let her go

He pleads and Sphiwe laughed

Sphiwe: after you took everything from me?

Nqoba: I agree I was entirely wrong for stealing

from you but you are also wrong for kidnap people
who have nothing to do with all of this, let her go

He steps closer and Sphiwe panicks.

Sphiwe: don't!

Anesu was busy crying and you could see fear

written all over her face.

Nqoba: okay okay I won't move, just hand her over

and you will be free to go

Sphiwe: you think I'm that stupid? *laughs* I'm not

stupid and I know that you don't mean that, you
won't let me go you will kill me

Nathi: of course he will kill you and I will help him

do it

He shouts and Vezo gave him a kick on the balls,

Nqoba closed his eyes and shook his head realizing
how much stupid his brother can be during a
serious time.

Sphiwe: he is right you will kill me and I will kill

her...

He pushed Anesu and she slowly fell inside the

river, Sphiwe released a bullet aiming for Nqoba's
head but a bullet shot him on the chest out of no
where and he missed his shot on my for it to land
on his shoulder.

Vezo released the second bullet and finished

Sphiwe right on the spot. Nqoba did not care about
the fact that he just got shot, he only cares about
Anesu, he quickly ran to the edge of the bridge and
drops on his knees with tears blinding his eyes.

Nqoba: Anesu!
He shouts and he was attempting to jump inside but
Nathi held him back, Nqoba fought with Nathi but
Nathi was not willing to let him go.

Nqoba: I need to save her shed going to drawn and

die...

Vezo: she's probably already dead thus bridge is

really deep and dangerous...you see that sign?

He points at the 'Danger' sign and Nqoba just broke

down into tears.

Nathi: she is gone...

Nqoba: no she is not gone...she can't be gone...she

can't leave me like this...she is destined to be with
me not die because of some idiot with fucking
bipolar

He shouts in anger.

Nathi: let it out brother let it out, we should go

Vezo: yeah he is right the police are going to be all

over the place and we don't want to be caught by
them

Nqoba: I don't want to leave...I can't leave her...

He kept on fighting and Vezo sighs.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 36
ANESU MTSHALI.

A huge slash hits the surface of the water as Anesu's

body drops inside the water, she slowly sank deep
inside the water as if her body was a sponge sucking
in all the water the river contains and as the more
she sank down the deeper her body went.

She had her eyes shut close as her arms float up her
flesh and body longing to see the light that shined in
the surface of the water but her soul completely
deceiving her. Her body continued to sink deeper
and deeper as if it was the titanic, her body started
to sink in slowly motion and she was taken to a
whole different word, she started having a vision.

She stood in the middle of the room with her body

soaked in water and her clothes wet, she was
breathing heavily and she looks around the room
not recognising the place but her eyes met with a
woman who was laying on the bed and it seemed
like she was going through labour.

Her mind started to catch up with her as she

recognised the room and the people inside it as if
she was once here, the woman screamed in pain as
she pushed the baby with the little strength she had
left while the rain poured loudly outside and the
lightning striking on the green grass outside.

Anesu looks around the room and wondered why

she was seeing all this?

Anesu: hello?

She spoke to one of the maidens but it's as if she

was invisible as they continued to help the madam
deliver the baby, Anesu's eyes gaze around the
room and she was disturbed by a loud but rather
heart warming sound of a baby crying.

She turns around and she looks at the beautiful

small baby who had caramel like skin and what
looked like the white vitiligo patches she has on her
skin, she took one quick look at the white patches
on her arm and back at the crying back.

Anesu: but that is...me?

She questioned herself.

"I don't want it."

Anesu gasped and tears start to fill her eyes.

"but ma'am this is your daughter," the servant said

"look at this baby...do you even think that I would
raise a child that looks like this? look at her and tell
me you are seeing what I'm seeing...I don't want
this thing so take it away okay..." the mother shouts
and wiped her tears

Anesu: a thing?

She got emotional as she took a close look at the

baby who was crying out loud and the more she
cried the louder the rumbling of lighting got.

"take that two coloured thing out of my face," she

shouts and Anesu's jaw dropped

Time passed from all the crying and Anesu felt as if

the madam who just threw her baby away and
asked her servants to prepare a funeral was looking
at her.

That's when a light skinned handsome yet old

looking man appeared entering the room, Anesu
breathes out in releaf as the woman started to fake
her cries.

"the baby is gone...I lost the baby...it's dead..."

She cried and Anesu rolls her eyes annoyed.

"what do you mean the child is gone?" the

concerned husband asked

"the child wasn't breathing and...she's over there,"

she points at the small casket and the husband
moves from her wide walking to the casket, he
wanted to open it but she wailed even louder
"please don't...don't open it...I can't...I can't bare
the pain it's to much," she cried and the father
moved away from the small casket

Anesu: she is...

She was about to speak when she time travelled to

a middle of what seemed like nowhere, the ground
was dry and filled with cracks on the floor. it was as
if the it hasn't been raining for a long while, Anesu
touches the grounds and the soil was cracked up,
there was no sign of water.

Anesu: why am I seeing all of this? what is the point

of all of this? take me back! I don't want to be
here...take me back!

She cries out loud and screams.

"I'm sorry to show you all of this but your
motherland needs you...you need to wake up and
show them who you really are."

The vision ends and Anesu was laying on the flat

surface she landed on, the flat surface started
moving and Anesu's body was floating upright with
her eyes still closed. The river was dark and empty
but suddenly a very enormous snake emerged with
its eyes staring at Anesu's body. The snake looks up
at Anesu and slowly brought its forehead closer to
Anesu's. Their forehead link and the snake moves
back, the snake floats there for looked like a few
awkward second before Anesu exhaled in shock and
opening her eyes which were now blue in colour.

The snake rolls itself around her as if it was

protecting her and the snake's glowed blue, it's
whole body glowed blue and it had beautiful scales.
Anesj looked really scared and confused that she
was breathing under water but also at the same
time, she has a snake rolling itself around her, the
very same snake she saw in her dream. The snake
quickly unrolled itself and quickly disappeared in
the water which later became dark, Anesu looks up
at the bottom of the river which had the moon's
light shining on it.

She started swimming her way to the top and keep

in mind, she had no scales, no tail, no pointed ear
and sharp teeth. She is just a...I would say normal
but y'all read what just happened and that doesn't
happen to normal human beings.

She swam her way to the other side of the river

which had rocks and sand, she sat on the rock for a
moment digesting what just happened and
regaining her strength since she felt weak.
she started hearing a familiar voice.

Nathi: Nqoba we need to go as in like now, Fiso just

called and he told me that the police are few
kilometres away so please...I don't want to go to jail
I still have to have sex with a lot of girl and...

Anesu rolls her eyes as she got up from the rock,

she slowly made her way to the clear road and she
looked at the left side were the bridge was. Nqoba
was on his knees crying like a little baby and his
brothers trying to convince him to leave, Anesu
smiles and she slowly walks up to them.

She stood few feets away from them and cleared

her throat.

Anesu: excuse me...

Vezo: woah!

Nathi: shit what the fuck!

Nathi jumped and stood behind Vezo, he points at

me with his finger.

Nathi: you see that? that's a ghost...

Vezo: no man she even has blue eyes

Nathi: she's here to suck our souls

Nqoba raised his head wanting to scold his brothers

for being ridiculous and when his eyes met with
Anesu's, he immiedielty got up and ran to her
attaching her with the worlds most soul squeezing
hug.

Nqoba: I thought I lost you

Anesu: you will never lose me

Nqoba flinched in pain and pulled out from the hug

with his shoulder bleeding really bad.

Anesu: you are hurt...

Nqoba: I don't care about this small thing all I want

to know is how are you...

Anesu: alive? I'm asking myself the very same

question
Nqoba: your eyes are blue

Anesu: the snake also has blue eyes

Nqoba: what snake?

He elevates his eyebrow and looks at her with a

confused look on his face, Anesu laughs nervously
not wanting to spook him.

Anesu: I'm just kidding...

Nqoba: you are a bad liar

Anesu: I'm not a bad liar because I'm not lying but
telling you the truth
Nqoba: you just lied for the second time, lying
doesn't look good on you and it surely doesn't
favour you

Anesu pouts and folds her arms, Nathi appeared

behind Nqoba peaking from his shoulder and when
Anesu shifts his gaze and looked at him Nathi was
spooked.

Nathi: fire fire in the name of Jesus!

He shouts and Anesu burst into laughter.

Anesu: hold on what?

Nathi: you are an evil spirit here to suck our souls

Anesu: hold on for a second have you seen an evil

spirit this pretty?
Nqoba smiles at her.

Nathi: well if you put it like that then...

He rubs his hands together and approaches Anesu

but Nqoba stopped him, he turned and gave him a
stare in the eyes.

Nqoba: get your shit together

Nathi: it's just games

Anesu giggles.

Vezo: I also want to know honestly how did you

make it out?
Anesu shrugs.

Vezo: and why are your eyes...

Anesu snaps.

Anesu: I don't know I am confused as you are

Nathi: let me explain it for you little sister you

went to the land of the dead and they told her it
wasn't her time and they gave her blue eyes as a
sign that she just came back from heaven because
heaven comes from the sky and the sky is blue

Vezo: what?

Vezo cracks up and Nathi got annoyed.

Nathi: you be confused a fuck and when I explain to
you wena you...

He clicks his tongue.

Anesu: okay okay guys that's enough, i dont know

what happened to me and I want answers like you
guys but I'm afraid at the moment I don't have any
answers so can you guys just

Nqoba: stop troubling the poor girl

Nathi: you will find us in the car, Sis'omncane?

Anesu: bhuti?

Nathi: it's good to have you back and safe I would

give you a hug but I know don't want to kill me
brother with jealousy
Nqoba shook his head.

Vezo: yeah it's good to have you back with us

He smiles and walks to the car with Zinathi, Anesu

looks at Nqoba who still had the worried look on his
face.

Nqoba: okay let's cut the crap are you sure that you
are okay?

Anesu: I'm okay Nqoba

Nqoba: sure sure?

Anesu: Nqobuthando...
Nqoba: okay okay I just wanted to be sure

Anesu: we should get you to the hospital

Nqoba: I will just call in the doctor at the hotel

Anesu: and Ntethe? where is she?

Nqoba: she's at the hotel being taken cared of

Anesu: she needs a hospital Nqoba not a hotel

Nqoba: we don't want the police asking

unnecessary questions so we need to deal with this
in a discrete manner
Anesu sighs and Nqoba led her to the car, despite
he awful injury he did not forget to be a gentleman
and open the door for her.

She smiles and got inside the car which drove

straight to the hotel, when they arrived at the hotel
Siliva was outside with his crew looking bruised up.

Nqoba came out of the car and walks inside the

hotel with Anesu following behind him, Anesu
received a lot of stares from Siliva's crew which
made her uncomfortable.

They arrived inside and Siliva followed behind them.

Nqoba: where is my brother?

Siliva: he is in room D12 with his girl

Nqoba: how is he?

Siliva: he is in rought shape seeing his girl in that

star really breaks his heart

Nqoba: I would like to thank you for pulling through

and helping me out

Siliva: just finish the last side of my favour and it

was an honour

Nqoba: you will receive your payment in a few

hours I just need to attend to thus wound before it
becomes infected

Siliva: okay boss no worries and this is?

He looks at Anesu with a smile on his face.

Vezo: make that smile disappear that's my little
sister

Nqoba: and she is off limits

Siliva: ohh she's the boss lady?

Nqoba looks at Siliva from head to toe and held

Anesu's hand directing her to the elevator, the
elevator door closed and the elevator took them to
the floor were Ntethe's room was in.

They step out of the elevator and they walked to

the room, Themba was in the room doing a few
check ups on Ntethe who looked really terrible with
a few burns on her body.
Anesu started crying and walked closer to Ntethe's
bed.

Fiso: Anesu you are here...oh brother

He got up from his seat and wipes his tears.

Nqoba: it's okay to cry

Fiso: she looks like she went through so much pain

and I couldn't do anything to protect her from all of
this

Nqoba: it's not your fault okay?

Fiso: it's my fault Nqoba if I handy stolen from the

Khoza's none of this would have happened
Nqoba: I know I also feel the same way but what
matters the most right now is that they are home
safe

Fiso: and tell me you killed the motherfucker

Nqoba: he is dead and won't be troubling us any

longer

Fiso: that is great but I wish I had been there to kill

that lunatic with my own hands...

Nqoba could see that Fiso still had a lot of anger

and that it would take a while for him to heal from
all of this.

Nqoba: bro just relax okay? everything is okay now

Fiso nods.
Nqoba: doctor she will be okay right?

Themba: she is strong

Themba smiles.

Anesu: she will survive this one

Nqoba: we should leave and give him some space

Anesu wipes her tears and she nods.

Anesu: you also need to attend to your wound

Themba: I will be right there with you Nqoba once

I'm done
Nqoba: I will do this one on my own

Themba: you sure?

Nqoba: yeah it's nothing

Anesu: it's nothing? you were shot Nqoba

Nqoba: I will take care of it

Themba laughs at how Anesu doesn't want to let

this one go until he has taken care of his wound,
Nqoba lead her out of the room with a first aid kit in
his hand.

He took her to the room he was using and he sat

down, he took off his shirt and flinched in the
process but he managed.
Anesu's eyes widen when he saw him shirtless.

Anesu: I want to take a shower can I use your

bathroom?

Nqoba: yeah sure you are more then welcome

Anesu quickly left the room and she started

undressing, she steps inside the shower and turns
on warm water. She closed her eyes and she
enjoyed the feeling of the warm water on her skin,
she covered her body with some soap and slowly
gave her body a scrub. Once she felt clean enough
she steps out of the shower and she dried her body,
she wraps a towel around her body and she steps
out of the bathroom.

She found Nqoba having some whisky.

Anesu: you drink all the time?

Nqoba: it's for the pain

Anesu: why can't you just take pain killers?

Nqoba: I did

Anesu just chuckles and went to look for something

to wear from his clothes, she found something
comfortable and she went to change in the
bathroom which made Nqoba laugh.

She came out dressed in his sweat pants and

hoodie, Nqoba went to take a shower and later
came out. He got dressed right in front of her and
she just couldn't keep her eyes of the thingy.
He climbed on the bed and smiles.

Anesu: what? why are you looking at me like that?

Nqoba: you just look beautiful and those blue eyes

of yours seem to be doing the thing cause girl you
look hot...I mean spicy hot!

Anesu: yeah yeah very funny

She rolls her eyes.

Nqoba: hey I just gave you a complement

Anesu: I know you don't mean all of that, I know

that I don't look that good I'm just a two colored girl
that nobody wants
Nqoba sat up straight and looks at her.

Nqoba: don't ever and I mean never say such about

yourself, you are the most beautiful down to earth
woman and you should now that this vitiligo makes
you even more beautiful and you should embrace
your beauty

Anesu: thank you...

She smiles.

Anesu: that means a lot

Nqoba: where are all these words coming from?

Anesu: it's nothing

Nqoba: Anesu i can tell when you are lying and you
should know that by now

Anesu: I'm not lying it's nothing

Nqoba: okay but you know you can trust me right?

you can feel free to talk to me about anything

Anesu: I know...

She shivers.

Nqoba: are you feeling cold?

She nods and Nqoba brought her closer making her

lay on top of his chest, he slides his hand inside the
hoodie and she was freezing cold.
Anesu: I like how warm you are

Nqoba: you are cold and I'm warm, we attract

Anesu laughs.

Anesu: yeah whatever

Nqoba: I don't know what i would have done if

something happened to you...

Anesu yawns and closed her eyes falling asleep.

Nqoba: you sleep while I'm talking to you? okay it's

fine

He kissed her on the forehead and closed his eyes

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 37
NARRATIVE.

Anesu was tossing back and forth on the bed till she
decided to open her eyes, she looks next to her and
Nqoba was not on the bed but a hand written note
was on the bed.

Anesu yawns sitting up straight taking the hand

written note, the note was written "don't worry I
will be back soon I just have to sort out a few
problems don't be mad, love NQ."

Anesu rolls her head and she got off the bed, she
went to open the sliding door which let to the
balcony allowing some fresh air into room. She
started making the bed and it felt funny to her that
the Dube brothers have turned their very own hotel
into a house.

She laughs a little shaking her head and she took a

shower, once she was done she wore Nqoba's
clothes once again and she left the room.

The first thing she wanted to do was check on

Ntethe to see if she was doing okay because last
night she did not get the chance to see her proparly,
the door was slightly open so she allowed herself
inside and to her surprise Fiso was sleeping on the
chair looking pieceful as ever, Only if Ntethe knew
how worried he is she wouldn't be sleeping in that
bad and not showing signs of a person whose alive.

Anesu steps closer to the bed and the sound of the

beeping machine really sent her off, she started
shedding tears as she held Ntethe's hand and slowly
gave it a rub.

Anesu: I know if I was the one laying in this bed you

will be telling at me and telling me that I shouldn't
let the evil spirit of death take over...

She laughs a little and used her free hands to wipe

her tears.

Anesu: you really do mean the world to me and I

don't know what I would have done if he set you on
fire, I don't know if I would have been able to live
after I watched you turn into ashes but I'm glad
none of that happened, I should be happy right?

She wipes her tears.

Anesu: but guess what? I'm not happy at all, how
can I be happy while you are still laying in this bed
tell me? how am I suppose to rejoice that I was able
to make it back alive and you...

She chokes on her tears even her lower lip started

trembling.

Anesu: I wish there was something I could do to

help you out of this situation, I wish I could just take
the pain away from you and carry it myself...I really
need you to come back to us and give me those
killer hugs you usually give me were you suffocate
the living out of me

Fiso: you know she really loves you

He said getting up from his seat and the sound of

his voice gave Anesu a startle.
Anesu: I did not mean to ruin your privacy I just
wanted to see her and...I'm...

Fiso: if you we're about to apologise then it's a good

thing I just interrupted you, how many times do I
have to tell you that you are family

Anesu: but still I shouldn't have just walked in its

your room and I should have respected that

Fiso: Anesu it's fine...

Anesu smiles widely.

Anesu: what did the doctor say?

Fiso: he said something about her body
experiencing so much shock and she went into a
coma, she broke two ribs and her whole body is
bruised up...I would have stopped all of this but I
just...

He starts crying and Anesu felt sad, she went to give

him a tight hug and pulled out looking at him.

Anesu: everything will be okay? Ntethe will be fine

trust me just have hope okay?

Fiso: if I could have...

Anesu: stop putting the blame on yourself Fiso you

have no control over the things that happen in life
and trust me Ntethe would have given you a hard
beating if she even heard that you were blaming
yourself
Fiso laughed

She smiles and wipes her tears, she closed her eyes
and she exhaled trying to get her emotions
together. She started doing a silent prayer with her
other hand joined with Ntethe's and the other on
her chest, she stood there for a few seconds in
silence and The machines started making very loud
sounds.

Anesu loosens the grib on Ntethe's hand and she

steps back.

Fiso: Anesu what did you doing?

Anesu: I...I don't know

He looks at the machine and back at Anesu who
seemed to be stuck in the position not knowing
what just happened.

Fiso: Anesu her blood pressure is rising

He shouts and got closer to her as he panicked

really bed, Anesu just stood against the wall with
her hands joined together and she looked
completely lost.

Fiso: CALL THE THEMBA!

Anesu couldn't move it's like her whole body was

glued to the floor and before Fiso opened his mouth
to shout at Anesu to get the doctor, the door flew
open and Themba walked in.

Themba: what is happening?

Fiso: I don't know ask Anesu

Themba: Anesu what did you do?

Anesu: I...I...I don't know

tears filled her eyes and cried as Ntethe's body

started shaking uncontrollably, she covered her
eyes and begged God to save her friend. The
machine suddenly came to a stop and Ntethe slowly
relaxed, Fiso just stood there with his jaw dropped
as if he his soul just left his body.

The door opens and his intoxicating manly cologne

filled the room, she uncovered her eyes and saw
Nqoba standing there looking lost, Anesu just threw
herself and hugged him really tight around his waist
while she cried.
He hugged her back and brushed her her, he
wanted to move her from his chest so he can look
at her face but she just buried her face on his chest.

Nqoba: Anesu what happened?

She shook her head and Nqoba sighs looking at Fiso.

Nqoba: brother what happened?

Fiso did not look like he was in a state that required

him to open his mouth and Nqoba saw that.

Nqoba: Anesu look at me...

She shook her head while her face buried on his

chest.
Nqoba: how am I suppose to know what happen if
you won't look at me and talk to me

She slowly moved her face from his chest, he held

her chin and made her to look up at him, he used
his free hand to wipe her tears.

Nqoba: talk to me, what happened?

Anesu: I came here to see Ntethe and Fiso woke up

joining me, I felt the need that I should pray and I
closed my eyes held her hand tightly and placed my
other hand on her chest, I only prayed for a few
minutes and the machines went crazy...and...she
started shaking and...Nqoba I made the situation
worse

She starts crying.

Nqoba: hey hey hey...

Themba interrupts him.

Themba: I don't think she made the situation worse,

look...

He steps back and Ntethe slowly opened her eyes.

Fiso: baby? MaGumede...

He got closer to the bed and held her hand, Anesu

wipes her tears and took a look at what was
happening.

Ntethe: water...
She asked and Fiso poured some water from the jar
that was near, he gave her the glass and her hand
was shaking but she managed to drink the water.

Themba: how are you feeling?

Ntethe: I'm in pain

Fiso: baby I thought I lost you

Ntethe: excuse me? I'm sorry but you must be

mistaking me with someone else, who are you?

Fiso's jaw dropped.

Fiso: MaGumede...

Ntethe: how do you know my surname?

Fiso: baby we...

Themba stopped him.

Themba: let me do a little check up on her and can

you wait outside

Fiso: you are joking right?

Nqoba: Fiso do what the doctor says

Fiso clenched his jaw and walks out with tears filled
in his eyes, Nqoba looks at Anesu who was walking
closer to the bed.

Anesu: Ntethe you woke up...thank God I thought I

lost you
Ntethe: why do I keep seeing unfamiliar faces?
doctor what's going on? who are these people?

Anesu: what?

Nqoba: Anesu we need to leave and let the doctor

do his job

Anesu: no I don't want to leave...

Nqoba: Anesu i said...

Nqoba held Anesu by the arm and Anesu just

pushed him with little yet so much force that his
body hits against the wall and he fell down on the
floor.
Anesu: stop!

She shouts and Nqoba looks at her.

Nqoba: Anesu what the fuck?

Anesu registered what just happened and she

covers her mouth, she rushes to Nqoba who was
getting up from the floor.

Anesu: I'm sorry I didn't...

Nqoba: let's go...

He snaps before she finished her sentence and they

walk out of the room, Nqoba took her to his office
and he closed the door.
He turned to face her and she stood there with her
chest moving up and down as if she was running
with her little hands forming fists, he just chuckled.

Nqoba: you want to fight me now?

Anesu: what kind of question is that? of course not,

I don't know what happened in there I did not mean
to push you like that...

Nqoba steps closer.

Nqoba: since when do you have so much strength?

Anesu: I don't know Nqoba okay? a lot of things are

happening which don't make sense at all

Nqoba: I feel like there s a lot you are not telling me

Anesu: it's nothing Nqoba

Nqoba: after what just happened in not going to

take that, talk to me Anesu

Anesu: I have nothing to say

Nqoba: how many times have I told you that you

should trust me and that I'm always there for you if
you need to talk about something

Anesu: it's a lot...

Nqoba: I'm listening

He got closer and looks into her eyes, she hesitates

looking back but finally did. It felt like he was
searching for her soul and she brought her face
closer to his, she wraps her hands around his neck
and perks him on the lips.

He groans and steps back.

Nqoba: as much as I badly want to kiss you right

now but I can't because I'm worried about you
emotional health, I'm worried about you Anesu and
I can feel that you are building this huge wall
between us and pushing me away...

Anesu: I'm not pushing you away

Nqoba: what is all this called then?

Anesu: it's also complicated to me as well I don't

know how i can put it into words because it's just...
She sighs.

Nqoba: whenever you are ready I'm here

Anesu: I know...can you take me back I want to be

with my family in sure they are worried sick

Nqoba: no need to worry about that i already

booked a flight for tonight

Anesu: you did? aww thank you

Nqoba: I also have to fix problems of my own back

there

Anesu: you mean your wife

Nqoba: she doesn't have my name yet

Anesu: she is still your wife

Nqoba: I will fix that as soon as I land

Anesu: don't break up with her because of me

Nqoba: you are going to have to suck that girls girl

attitude because I am breaking up with her not
because you made me do it but because I want to
spend the rest of my life with someone I love...

Anesu: this is wrong

Nqoba laughs.

Nqoba: you wanted to kiss me seconds ago and you

tell me this is wrong
He pressed his body against hers.

Anesu: I was just trying to distruct you

Nqoba: distruct me again I'm ready this time

His hands travel to her and and he gave it a grab,

she bites her lower lip holding in her moan as he
lifts her up placing her on top of the table. He stood
in between her legs with and looked into her eyes,
he brought his face closer to hers and rubs his lips
gently against hers, she took out her tongue and
licked his buttom lip making him smile.

He grabs her by the neck and pulled her closer

looking dead into her eyes.

there was a knock on the door.

Nqoba cleared his throat and moved away from her,
he slides his hands inside his pocket and instructed
the person to enter.

it was Themba.

Nqoba: it's you Themba, how is she? did you speak

to my brother yet

Themba: yes I spoke to him and he doesn't look

good at all but I thought I should pass by and share
the news

Anesu: is she going to be okay?

Themba: she is in good shape, her blood pressure is

back to normal and her vitals look healthy...
Anesu: but?

Themba: she might be experiencing a temporary

memory loss

Anesu: you mean she lots her memory?

Nqoba: temporarily

Anesu: how is that even possible?

Themba: it might be because of the trauma she

experienced that her body is responding to it in a
different way

Anesu: how long will this last?

Themba: a week or two or maybe a month I don't
know

Nqoba: thank you man for pulling through, I will

send you a cheque

Themba: I'm just doing my job, I have to take my

leave because the hospital needs me

Nqoba: yeah yeah sure

Themba walks out and Anesu sighs.

Anesu: this is sad

Nqoba: she will be fine, come here

He pulled her for a hug.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 38
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

It got late and we drove straight to the airport, I'm

heading back with Vezo and Nathi since Fiso wanted
to stay and be around Ntethe, he is not ready to
give up on his woman and I'm proud of him for that.

my woman cuddled closer to my chest and I look

down at her with her eyes closed as she drifts off to
sleep, I don't get what could be troubling such a
beautiful soul and honestly speaking she has a lot
going on in her life.
Even though I hate that she doesn't want to
communicate with me but I am going to give her
some time and space, she had been through a lot
and I don't want to put pressure on her.

The flight was pieceful and filled with lots of silence,

my brothers were also resting and I was just up
having a few glasses of whiskey while deep in my
thoughts.

I want to fix my things and get them straight, I have

already started by contacting this construction guy
who will rebuild my house and I was thinking on a
different sight since s lot of people now know my
location since it was all over the news.

I'm sure the house will be done within a month and

I will move back then continue handling my
business but in the meantime I just need to fix my
personal issues and focus on making thus beautiful
woman my wife.

She slowly moved and she rubs my chest, i look at

her and she opens her eyes, she looks up at me with
her hand on my chest.

Anesu: you are up...

She yawns.

Nqoba: I can't sleep, did I wake you?

I caressed her back and she shook her head.

Anesu: you did not wake me up but I could feel that

you are not awake, why can't you sleep?
Nqoba: I just have a lot on my mind but don't stay
up on my account because I doubt I will even be
able to get some sleep

Anesu: you know I also have a lot in my mind and

I'm really starting to question why I even exist on
this earth...

Nqoba: don't say such things

Anesu: if you were to put yourself in my shoes you

would know how i feel right now and why I'm saying
such things, a lot of strange things that I don't
understand have been happening to me and I don't
know where to start but from the fact that I think
I'm cursed...

Nqoba: nana...(baby)
Anesu: don't stop me I want to vent since this feels
heavy on my chest and I really don't want to feel
this bad about myself anymore...

She paused and I remain silent waiting for her to

start talking.

Anesu: back when Sphiwe had me kidnapped I kept

on having dreams whereby I was stuck in the water
unable to breath and I kept on feeling this great
aura around me as they beat me up day and night
making my whole body feel so numb but I still had
hope that you would come for me because you
have never left me astray...

Nqoba: I'm never going to leave you even through

tough times I'm going to be by your side

Anesu: I know...
She smiles.

Anesu: when Sphiwe told me he was going to burn

and turn us into ashes I just felt a lot of mixed
emotions and when he took out the lighter
dropping it on Ntethe's body which was filled with
petrol I just...I was overwhelmed by a lot of power
and strength I can't seem to explain, the minute I
opened my mouth I just screamed and rain started
to pour, I don't know how I'm able to do such things
because the minute I started to be calm the rain
also calmed down

Nqoba: I was told that you are very special and that
you are a rare diamond that cannot be found
anywhere and I'm sure all of this is the reason why
you are able to do stuff like this...
Anesu: I'm not special Nqoba I'm cursed and I had a
vision about something that I'm scared explains
where I really come from, I saw some woman I'm
even pissed to call my mother because of the way
she treated me, she told everyone that she did not
like me when she saw how I looked, she called me
disgusting and a thing...I could see it in her eyes
that she did not want me, she threw me away and
told my father u was dead, I don't know why I was
made to see all of this because I'm really heart
broken to know that...

I felt my shirt getting wet and I slowly moved her

away from my chest, I made her look at me and she
was crying a river.

it really hurts me that she had all of this hidden

from me, do you know how hard it can be to
actually find out that your parents never wanted
you, I was never told by any of mine but you can
sort of relate.
Nqoba: look at me baby...

She looks at me.

Nqoba: I'm really sorry that you had to see all of

that but trust me this was revealed for a reason and
that reason is not to hurt you, we might not know
the reason exactly but a lot is sooned to be revealed
as time goes and...

she's not even looking at me and this frustrates me

because I want to look her in the eyes so she can
see how I mean each and every word that comes
out of my mouth.

She's even shaking and it's scaring me.

Nqoba: and you are not a curse I don't even want to
hear you call yourself such, do you even know what
a curse is and have you seen yourself? you are not
what a curse looks like, you are pure and kind,
beautiful, intelligent and special...you might not
have been wanted by some and you might be seen
as something disgusting but in my eyes you are of
great value Anesu, you are soon to be bride and you
are the person I want, I will always want you
through darkest days and all my heart will always
beat for you

I wipe her tears and she gave me a tight hug.

Anesu: you have no idea how much those words

mean to me...thank you so much...ngyabonga
Nzwakele (clan name)

Nqoba: no need to thank me I'm just doing my job

as your man
Anesu: as my man? well that's fascinating

Nqoba: am i not your man?

Anesu: you never asked me out on a simple date

you just rocked your way into my life which is wierd
so yeah

Nqoba: so you want me to ask you out and take you

out on a date?

Anesu: I never said any of that I was just stating

some facts

Nqoba: you were saying what's in your heart not

facts
Anesu: whatever you want Nqoba have it your way

She looks at me, looking deep into my eyes and it

felt like she was reading all the dark parts of my
soul and that scared me.

I slowly brush her thighs and pull her closer to my

body, she wraps her arms around my neck and
brought her face closer to mine.

This woman is gaining weight and I can feel it, her

thighs are getting thick and so is her ass. Our faces
were few inches away from being in contact with
one another and I slowly brush my lips on her, she
gasped a little slightly opening her mouth and I
squeezed the life out of her thighs as our lips
touched and became in sync, my hands slowly
moved from her thighs heading to her ass and I
gave her a slight grab parting her butt cheeks and
she moans opening her mouth.
I smiled in between the kiss and slide my tongue
inside her mouth, she moans once again and I
groaned squeezing her thighs once more.

I have never in my life been around a woman who

makes me hard with just simple touches, my body
us already hearing up and I could feel my shaft
hardening in my pants and the thought of having
myself buried deep inside her tight wet walls is
making me want to shit my pants right now.

The kiss wasn't rushed but it was as if we were both

pouring out our emotions, if she still doubts the way
I feel about her I'm sure that this kiss will explain it
to her.

She moves closer to me and she sat right on top of

my hard dick making her moan as my dick became
in contact with her private area between her thighs.
She pulls out from the kiss and looks at me with her
lazy eyes, she bites her lower lip and exhaled with
our foreheads linked together.

Anesu: after everything I have been through you

have always been by my side Nqoba and I'm
grateful for that

Nqoba: I will always stand by your side

I peck her on the lips and she lays back on my chest,

I kept on talking to her till she fell asleep and I
joined her few minutes later.

...

The plane landed at their homeland and the royal

cars were put waiting for them, Nqoba rode with
Anesu and the other brothers rode in their own car.
Anesu was still feeling sleeping as she cuddled
Nqoba left arm with her head on his left shoulder,
he looks at her and smiles.

Driver: Sir should we stop at the palace or drop

ma'am first

Nqoba: we will drop her first

The driver nods and continued to driver.

We arrived at her house and the car I parked

outside the gate, I slowly shook her waking her up
and she looks at me.

Nqoba: you are home

Anesu: I'm not even sure if I should call this home

She mumbles and I was able to catch it without her
knowing, this innocent is going through a lot and it's
written all over her face that she's sad.

Nqoba: do you have your phone?

Anesu: I lost it when I was kidnapped but don't...

Nqoba: I will get you a new one

Anesu: there will be no need Nqoba you can't keep

on wasting your money on a stupid expensive
phone

Nqoba: I want to be able to connect with you at all

cost and know that you are okay so I don't care
about the price of the phone Anesu i care about
you...only you
Anesu: I should get going

Nqoba: you are not going to kiss me goodbye?

Anesu: no I won't

She grabs the door handle and I grabbed her arm

before she could leave.

Nqoba: you are going to regret that decision

I smirked.

Anesu: we will see about that

She yanks her arm put of my grib and smiles.

Nqoba: Ngyakuthanda yezwa?

Anesu: I hear you

I knew she wasn't going to say it back, kanti how

long will it take for her to confess her feelings for
me because she might think she's able to hide the
way she feels but her actions are selling her off.

She closed the door and I watched her walk inside

the gate, once she was inside the house I told the
driver to leave.

The drive to the palace felt really short maybe it's

because I was focused on my thoughts, I got out of
the car and the minute I set foot on the ground
Nkanyezi walks out of the house and she gave me a
hug which I did not return.
She woke up? the last time I remember she was
shot.

Nkanyezi: baby you have no idea how worried I was

about you?

mind you she did not even call to check on me and

not that I care in just trying to make myself believe
that she missed me but none of her actions for the
past few weeks showed that she actually did.

Nqoba: get your hands off me

I said firmly and she moved away from me.

Nkanyezi: what is it now? why are you being like

this?
I just looked at her from head to toe and I walked
inside leaving her by the car, I found my father
chilling in the living room and Mrs Ngubane in the
kitchen cooking.

why are they even still here?

Lungani: son you are back home

He stood up from the couch and approached me

with his arms wife open, I looked at him and back at
Mrs Ngubane who looked really comfortable in my
mother's kitchen for some reason I don't know.

I lift up a finger stopping by father on his tracks.

Nqoba: I don't need your hug...what is she doing in

my mother's kitchen?
Lungani: she's cooking what does it look like she's
doing?

He smiles.

Nqoba: in my mother's kitchen? why are they still

here?

Nkanyezi: we were waiting for you of course so we

can finalise the wedding which is already planned
and just waiting for the date

She giggles.

Lungani: and you my son are going to be the king

Nqoba: wait wait hold on a second, I almost lost my

life fighting for this family's safety and well-being
while y'all sat here and continued to plan a wedding
I don't even want? are y'all crazy?

I'm shouting right now and I don't like it when I start

shouting.

Lungani: Son we couldn't wait any longer this

wedding has to happen

I just chuckle, this old man is unbelievable did he

not hear what I just said?

Nqoba: No!

Nkanyezi: what?

I held the bridge of my nose and sighed.

Nqoba: you know what? I had a long tiring day and
the last thing I want to do is shout at grown people
who have brains that function really well, we will
talk about this tomorrow and I think it's best that
you call your father to fly here as soon because we
are having a meeting

Lungani: what? we are not having a meeting

Nqoba: we are and it's not up for discussion

I turn around and head out, I went to my house

which was outside and I unlocked the door. I turned
on the lights and I walk in, I locked the door and I
didn't even think twice I went to take a shower.

it's been a while since I had a proper shower and

had some time to cool off, I stayed for a fee minutes
in there and I got the time to collect my thoughts.
hopefully by tomorrow I will have everything settled
about this marriage I'm being forced to go through,
I will finally have Nkanyezi out of my life and
hopefully there will be no drama.

I step out of the shower and I tried my body, I stood

in front of the mirror and took a look at my wound.
it looked really bad so I cleaned it before applying
some healing cream and I wore a new bandage.

I walk out of the bathroom and there was a knock

on the door.

Nqoba: who is it?

there was no answer.

I just went to check the door and when I opened
the door, Nkanyezi stood there fully dressed in a
long tight dress with a tray of food in her hand.

Nkanyezi: my husband I brought you something to

eat

Nqoba: for the record we are not married and I

don't think we will ever be married so don't call me
your husband not even in your dream

Her jaw dropped.

Nkanyezi: Nqoba we are going to get married

whether you like it or not, you should stop fight
thing because we both know that we are made for
each other
I laughed so hard my stomach started to hurt and I
looked at her trying to cool myself down but the
look on her face seemed to make it hard to stop
laughing, I laughed harder till a tear cane out of my
eye.

I wipe the tear and chucked.

Nqoba: you are full of jokes honestly you should go

look for a job as a comedian cause you at good

Nkanyezi: Nqoba you are disrespecting me right

now

Nqoba: I don't want your food Nkanyezi you can go

back inside

Nkanyezi: but i made it out of love

Nqoba: ludle lolothando angilifuni (eat that love I
don't want it)

I closed the door before she could say something.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 39
ANESU MTSHALI.

After Nqoba dropped me off outside the gate I

made my way inside the yard and stepping in this
yard after a long time makes it feel I have been
missing for a long time.

I could still feel his eyes as I reached the door step

and then heard the sound of the car driving off, he
can be very overprotective and I like that.
I closed my eyes and breath out as fear started to
kick in, I opened the door and to my luck it was
open.

I walked inside only to find the living room empty.

i don't blame nobody for being asleep at this time

because it's still morning even though I don't know
the time since I don't have my phone.

I could smell the fresh maize porridge being cooked

in the kitchen and when I finally reached the
kitchen, Mwandle dropped everything she was
doing and ran to give me a tight hug.

Mwandle: sister...
She starts crying and I held her tight not wanting to
let go, I can imagine what pain she had to go
through when I went missing.

The universe seems to like me missing, I mean how

many times have I gone missing? you see?

I pull out from the hug and she didn't want to let go,
she kept crying bad as if she thought she would
never see me again.

Anesu: no need to cry now I'm back safe and sound

Mwandle: I thought I had lost you again Anesu

Anesu: I'm sorry for scaring you little one but I'm
back now and I will never scare you like that ever
again
She moves away from me and she wipes her tears,
she gasped when she looked at me in the face and I
knowing because of the blue eyes.

Mwandle: your eyes are blue...what...what

happened? did you put contact lenses?

Anesu: oh no I didn't but it's a long story

Mwandle: they are beautiful

I smiled.

Anesu: thank you...uhm...where is mom?

Mwandle: she's in her room getting some rest and

she has been sick ever since you left, whatever she
has us getting worse Anesu i don't know what to do
Anesu: is she sleeping right now?

Mwandle: I think she is sleeping

Anesu: I will let her rest

I will talk to her once she wakes up, I don't want to

stress her and make her sickness worsen. She
means the world to me and I don't want to loose
her by stressing her with lots of questions.

Mwandle: you must be hungry, sit down and i will

dish up for you

Anesu: you are a sweetheart

I smiled sitting down and she giggles.

Mwandle: before I forget the police found your
phone at the crime scene and I had to go to the
police station to retrieve it

Anesu: thank you where is it?

Mwandle: it's in our room and I charged it for you

Anesu: you are the best. have I told you that?

Mwandle: no you haven't but there s no need

because I know

I rolled my eyes as she gave me a bowl of porridge, I

started eating and once I was done I rinsed the
bowl.
As I wiped my hands and went to check my phone.

Mwandle went to feed mother and she continued

to rest, I am seated in the living room watching
television impatiently waiting for my mother to
wake up so I can get my answers.

After waiting for what seemed to be an hour or

more mother came out of the room with her
walking stick which I have never seen her use
before but I guess she's really getting worse.

She looks at me and tears filled her eyes, I won't lie

but she's making me really emotional.

Abuse: Anesu? you are back...oh my God!

I just went to give her a tight hug and she coughed, I

step back a little bit and when she lowered her
hand which she was using to cover her mouth, it
was filled with blood and that scared me.

Anesu: mama you are coughing blood kanti what's

going on?

Abuse: I'm fine Anesu this is nothing what matters

right now is what happened to you? where were
you all this time because I was worried sick about
you

Anesu: I was kidnapped by some obsessed guy but

no need to worry because the Dube brothers saved
me and I'm back..

Abuse: the Dube brothers! the Dube

brothers!...why can't you just stay away from these
boys? what is it that they want from you? we don't
owe them anything but they keep on nagging on
you, they are always around you and they...

I made her pause for a moment.

Anesu: mama they saved my life you shouldn't talk

about them like that, I wouldn't be standing here
with you breathing oxygen if it wasn't for them
mama so please

Abuse: I'm sorry it's just that...that family is bad

news and they are not good company

okay where is all this coming from?

Anesu: I think you should eat and take your

medication

Abuse: I don't need medication Anesu

Anesu: you are speaking nonsense and with all due
respect my mother would not speak to me in this
manner, my mother admires the Dube brothers
because they saved her daughter but I guess things
change huh?

Abuse: Anesu i did not mean it like...

Anesu: no it's fine mma, its also okay and I also have
questions of my own

She looks at me.

Anesu: where am I from?

Abuse: you are from this village Anesu what type of

question is that?
I laughed a little stepping back.

Anesu: mom I love you and I respect you but plesse

don't lie to me because you will make things hard as
they are already

Abuse: I don't know what you are talking about?

Anesu: mama you really want to start lying to me?

haven't you done enough lying for the past few
years

Mwandle: mom what is Anesu talking about?

Abuse: Mwandle go to your room!

She shouts.
Mwandle: mom I am old enough and I can listen...

Abuse: Mwandle listen to me and go to your room

Anesu: no Mwandle is going to stay here and hear

how much you have made us live a lie for the past
few years...

Mwandle: what?

mother starts coughing.

Anesu: yes she made us live a lie...

Abuse: I was just trying to protect you

Anesu: protect me from what? my true identity?

Abuse: no i wasn't...

She coughed and my whole body is heating up, I

swear my blood is boiling at a hundred degrees
Celsius and slowly going to evaporate steam of
blood out of my ears because what the fuck?

Mwandle: I think mother should rest and...

Anesu: No!

I roared and I heard a loud rumble outside, I look at

Mwandle and she looks at me as I have grown
horns.

Anesu: she's not going to rest until she tells me who

I really am? I'm tired of these stupid visions, I'm
tired of experiencing wierd stuff I can't even
explain, I almost died yesterday and I was saved by
some huge snake with blue eyes as mine...

I breath out.

Anesu: she has to explain herself now because it's

been years since she has been keeping this huge
secrete from me and I deserve to know the whole
truth

Abuse: Anesu can't you see that I'm sick? you just
got back and already you are giving me this attitude
I don't even know where you took it from...

Anesu: I just want answers that is all mma

I clenched my jaw.
Abuse: i really don't know what you are talking
about, I need to take my medication and rest

I scoff and clapped my hands as I watched her walk

back to her room, I can't believe that she still sees
the need to hide all of this from me.

The fact that she's avoiding this convisation is

making me even more angry and it makes me want
to break something really bad but i can't...

Night time came and mother has been locking

herself inside her room, she doesn't want to see nor
talk to me and that's really frustrating. How long
does she want to keep this secrete from me? how
long does she want to do all of this?

We sat down at the dinner table and Mwandle was

busy enjoying her food, mother avoiding eye
contact and I myself staring at my food with my
arms crossed.

The energy inside this room is really tense and I

don't like it.

Anesu: mma please talk to me and tell me...

Abuse: Anesu I'm eating

my hands formed a first.

Anesu: God why are you being so selfish right now

huh mom?

Abuse: I'm not being selfish Anesu just eat your

food
Anesu: mama I deserve the truth...please just tell
me mama...I don't want to have these visions and
dreams anymore...I don't want strange things
happening to me okay? I'm tired and I just...

i got emotional and started crying, she does not

know the pain I went through. She does not know
how it feels to watch your so called MOTHER call
you a thing and request that they get rid of you. She
doesn't know how it feels to see the same thing
over and over again whenever I close my eyes, she
does not know how i...She doesn't know anything
I'm feeling deep inside.

Abuse: Anesu i need to rest

She got up from the sit and I stood up with great

force, banged the table so hard the plate she was
using to eat cracked in half and the window flew
open as wind started to blow in full force.
Anesu: how long will you keep on avoiding me? how
long mama...how...

I clicked my tongue and went to the room I share

with Mwandle, I took my phone from under the
pillow and dialed Nqoba's number.

The phone rang as I sniffed and wiped my tears.

He answered and it seems like he was asleep

because his voice sounds pretty deep.

Nqoba: hello? Anesu...where did you get you

phone?

Anesu: my sister had to collect it from the police

station after they found it at the crime scene
I sniff.

Nqoba: hey are you crying? your voice doesn't

sound like the normal voice in used to hearing,
what's going on?

I break down and started to cry all over again.

Anesu: she doesn't want to tell me truth Nqoba

Nqoba: who? your mother?

Anesu: yes she keeps on avoiding my questions and

it's messing with me really bad and I...

Nqoba: okay calm down

Anesu: please come get me I don't want to stay in
the same house with somebody who keeps on lying
to me, I don't want to see her face Nqoba I just...

Nqoba: Anesu she's your mother

Anesu: SHE IS NOT MY MOTHER

I shout at the top of my lungs.

Nqoba: okay I'm on my way

Anesu: plesse be fast

Nqoba: hang in there

He drops the call and I just cuddled my legs, i

continued to cry and the door opens.
Mwandle: sister?

Anesu: go away Mwandle

Mwandle: I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb you I

just wanted to check if you are okay

Anesu: I'm fine Mwandle now go

Mwandle: is it true what you just said?

Anesu: what?

I sat up straight and wipe my tears.

Mwandle: that my mother is not your mother

Anesu: you heard me?

Mwandle: you were shouting of course I heard you

I looked down, I did not mean for her to hear me

say that.

Mwandle: so does this mean you are not my sister?

I quickly got up from the bed and I went to give her

a tight hug, I kissed her hair and made her look at
me.

Anesu: don't you ever think such nonsense because

no matter what situation you will always be my
little sister. blood related or not

Mwandle: I love you sister and please don't be

angry with mom, I don't like it when you two fight
Anesu: we are not fighting I just...everything will be
fine okay? I'm not angry with mom

She nods countless times.

Mwandle: so you are leaving?

Anesu: you were listening to me?

Mwandle: I was just worried and...I'm sorry

Anesu: I just need to clear my head and talk to

someone

Mwandle: that someone is Nqoba right?

Anesu: yes *smiles*

Mwandle: are you two dating? because I can see
the way he looks at you whenever he is around and
I can tell that you two I deeply in love with one
another

She giggles.

Anesu: what do you know about love...

Mwandle: I know nothing but I can see love because

I was given love throughout my upbringing and I can
tell when two souls are in love

my phone vibrates and I don't even know how i will

answer Mwandle, but I guess she's telling the truth.

Mwandle: that must be your man

Anesu: he is not...

I paused.

Anesu: whatever

I packed a small bag with me and I walked out after

giving my sister a tight hug and ensuring her that I
will be back by tomorrow.

I walk out and found him leaning on his car with his
arms crossed, he looks at me and I look at him.
Straight in the eyes were our souls are able to meet
and connect with each other, he opens his arms for
me and I ran to his embrace as his manly cologne
hit my nostrils.

Nqoba: are you okay?

I shook my head.

Nqoba: you are going to be fine

Anesu: where are we going to sleep?

Nqoba: you are going to sleep in my house back at

home

I pulled out from the hug.

Anesu: I was banned Nqoba remember? I can't...

Nqoba: you can't or won't?

Anesu: I can't...
Nqoba: you have my permission and I will be right
by your side, nobody will utter any nonsense to you
and if they ask you tell them I unbanned you

I smiled and roll my eyes.

Anesu: but your father...

Nqoba: are you coming or not?

Anesu: I trust you

Nqoba: that's not what I wanted to hear, i already

know that...

Anesu: I will come with you

Nqoba: much better

He kissed my forehead and I felt like a baby, he
opened the door for me and I got inside. He jogs to
his side and once he was inside the car filled with
his manly scent.

He drove to the palace and when he arrived he

parked the car right next to his house, he came to
open the door for me and led me to his house with
our hands locked in together.

He opens the door and I followed behind him, I

stood by the door playing with my feet once he
locked the door and watched his take off his jacket
and wondering around the room.

He placed his car keys on the table and he turned to

look at me.
Nqoba: are you going to just stand there?

I shook my head.

Nqoba: it's not like you haven't been here before

He smirks and I blushed.

Anesu: stop!

I warn.

Nqoba: what did I say now?

I roll my eyes and told him I was going to take a

shower, I used my stuff to bath since I brought
them with me.
It wasn't a long shower and once I dried my body I
wore my red silk nightdress, I step out of the
bathroom and he was glued to his phone but when
he saw me he closed his phone and focused on me.

Nqoba: you should take that off and wear

something else

Anesu: why?

He removed his blanket and showed me his

erection, I covered my mouth and shook my head.

Anesu: it's your fault not mine, you thought of

things you weren't suppose to think of now that's
the price you will pay

He groans and I head to his kitchen.

Nqoba: what are you making? don't burn my
kitchen cause I know you can't cook

Anesu: ha ha ha very funny

I roll my eyes and he smiles sitting on the kitchen

high chair, I looked at him and at I look at his bare
chest....why is he not wearing a shirt? i shook my
head.

Nqoba: honestly what are you making?

Anesu: a sandwich

Nqoba: make one for me

Anesu: you didn't eat?

Nqoba: I was waiting for you to make me something
to eat

smooth but no thank you, I rolled my eyes and went

to take out some ingratiate from the fridge.

Nqoba: damn that was and those thighs

I closed the fridge and looked at him.

Anesu: can you stop?

Nqoba: come this side and let me feel how soft it is

then I will stop

Anesu: I'm not doing that

His changed and I didn't mind him, I continued to
make us sandwiches and I hand him his plate.

We ate in silence and once I was done I went to

rinse the plates, while I was rinsing the plates i felt
his strong hands grabbing my butt cheeks and him
breathing on my neck woke up some things that
shouldn't have been woken up.

I remove the hands from the water and I turned

around, I slowly pushed him fat away from me and I
continued to rinse the plates.

you thought pushing him stopped him? nope it

didn't he came back and this time he was nibbling
on my neck.

Anesu: can I wash the dishes in piece?

Nqoba: I'm not holding your hands

He continued to nibble on my neck and found the

right spot, I tilt my head to the side and I released a
moan.

He groans as he lifts up my night dress exposing my

ass at him, he smacks my ass really hard and I
tightly closed my eyes enduring the pain.

Anesu: Nqoba...what do you want?

Nqoba: I want to torture you

hasn't he tortured me enough already?

Nqoba: but I can wait

He moved back letting go of me and he went to sit
down on his bed, he got busy on his phone and I
just gave his one nasty look before continuing with
the dishes.

have you ever been led on and left hanging craving

for more? yeah that is what happened to me, I
finished washing the dishes and I went to join him
in bed.

He switched off his phone and he pulls me closer to

his body but I move away from him, he chcukled
and pulled me closer once more and i moved away.

Nqoba: Anesu?

Anesu: Nqobuthando...

Nqoba: okaaay...are you mad at me?

Anesu: why would I be mad?

Nqoba: I don't know you tell me

Anesu: you are the one that told me I was mad and
now you want me to tell you whereas you are the
one that came up with the stupid hypothesis

Nqoba: haibo!

He laughs and sat up straight.

Anesu: I really don't get why you are laughing

Nqoba: I'm laughing at your attitude...when did you

develop such an attitude?
Anesu: I don't know and you know what? I need to
sleep

I covered myself with a blanket and closed my eyes,

I heard him chuckle and the next thing he is on top
of me.

Nqoba: open your eyes

I opened my eyes.

Nqoba: what do you want from me?

Anesu: nothing

Nqoba: loosen that attitude for a second because it

won't be nice when I do it for you, now nana tell me
what do you want?
Anesu: you know what was happening in the
kitchen

Nqoba: what happened in the kitchen?

I pout and he laughs a little, he thinks I'm in the

most for games.

Anesu: when you uhm...

Nqoba: say it out loud for me to hear you no need

to be afraid

Anesu: when you touched me

Nqoba: uh-huh
He slowly removed the blanket and his hands
moved from my stomach down to my private area, I
looked into his eyes as I slowly opened my legs for
him.

Nqoba: how did that make you feel?

He smiled as he felt no panty down there, he

pressed his fingers right against my vigina so tight I
wanted to press my legs together as I felt the
pleasure.

Anesu: it felt...it felt...

I closed my eyes as he parts my walls and slowly

started to rub my clitorus, I bite my lower lip and let
out a whimper.

Nqoba: how did it feel I asked?

Anesu: it felt goo...good

Nqoba: you got horny huh?

I shoot my eyes open and he laughs at him

quickening the phase, I let out a low moan.

Anesu: I didn't...

Nqoba: then why are you so wet?

Anesu: I don't know

Nqoba: what do you know?

why in the hell is he talking to me? I want to be in

the zone and he's just...argh! that felt so good.
Anesu: I know that I want you

He groans and quicken the phase, he brought his

lips closer to mine and he gave me a kiss which I
was struggling to return as my breathing started to
change.

Nqoba: open your eyes and look at me

He whispers after pulling put from the kiss and I

opened my eyes, our eyes locked and he bites hard
on his lips.

Anesu: ahhh....

I grab his back and pull him closer as the pleasure

got really worse, I would feel my clit getting
swollen. I could feel my legs shaking and I could feel
my blender getting heavy all of assuden, I pulled
him even closer burrying my face on his neck as I
burst out million orgasms on his hand.

I breath out and removed my face from his neck, I

looked into his eyes and he licked his hands. He got
out of bed and went to fetch a towel, he cleaned
me up and I watched him wiping me.

He looks cute.

Anesu: I love you

He paused and looks at me, I let out a giggle.

Nqoba: what did you just say?

Anesu: I said I love you Nqobuthando Dube

The smile he had on his face before scooping me
into his arms and planting what seemed like a
billion kisses all over my face and that made me
giggle.

He stops and looks at me.

Nqoba: I promise I will make you the happiest

woman on earth

Anesu: I'm already happy

Nqoba: Ngyakuthanda yezwa?

Anesu: Ngyakthanda nami

He kissed me passionately before pulling out and
looking into my eyes.

Nqoba: you don't know how happy you have made

me

I smiled and gave him a tight hug.

Anesu: I can't believe i have been holding back for

such a long time but you have showed me countless
times how much you love me and I guess I was just
to scared to say that I also love you because I have
never felt this way before about anyone but you
and all of this is just new to me, I don't want to
mess this up and I just want you and nobody else

Nqoba: thank you for giving me the chance to love

you and I promise I will take care of your heart baby
I gave him a kiss and this kiss just felt different, it
did not feel like any normal kiss we usually share. It
feels special and it making me feel all type of things
I can't explain into words.

I love this man.

CHAPTER 40
MWANDLE THINGOKAZI MSWELI.

The tension that was in this house yesterday when

Anesu returned was a lot for me to handle, I
couldn't take the fight she kept on having with our
mother about her true identity. What does that
even mean? does it mean she is not my sister? I
have been thinking about this the whole night and I
did not catch a wink of sleep because of this.

Anesu seems different wind edge returned, apart

from her ocean blue eyes and all that...there is
something a little bit off about her and I don't know
what it is. The fact that the windows automatically
opened when she started to get furious? how off
can that be?

I woke up early and made mother breakfast this

time she was unable to get out of bed, the worst
part us that she was unable to move an Inc of her
body and she couldn't eat any food.

When I started feeding her she would vomit put

blood and I can't bare to see her like this, I don't
even have the money to take her to the doctor so
he can treat her.
Mwandle: mama it's getting worse and I don't know
what to do

I cried as she continued to cough out blood and her

shirt has turned red.

Abuse: just get me some water and let me rest I will

be fine

Mwandle: I should call Anesu maybe she can...

Abuse: don't...don't call her I will be fine

Mwandle: kanti mama what's going on between

you two?

Abuse: Thingokazi just let me rest and I will be fine

Mwandle: but you are coughing out blood how will
you be fine huh? tell me mama

my mother sighed and took off the dirty shirt, she

laid down and closed her eyes getting some rest. I
walk out of the room and left her alone, if God is
real he should cure my mother and make her
better.

I can't afford to loose her.

NARRATIVE.
[THE DUBE ROYAL PALACE]

Nqoba was the first one to wake up as the light

shined through the curtain waking him up, he rubs
his eyes and yawns. He smiled when he saw the
angle which was sleeping peacefully next to him, he
started brushing her cheek and she smiles waking
up.

Anesu: Good morning

Nqoba: morning baby

Anesu smiles.

Anesu: I really have to get used to this

Nqoba: you should honestly because this is how

your life will be from now on wards

Anesu: I need to take a shower, do you have any

plans today?
She got off the bed and Nqoba looks at her with his
eyebrow elevated up.

Anesu: why are you looking at me like that?

Nqoba: what's the rush early in the morning I didn't

even get a kiss

Anesu rolls her eyes and he smirks, she climbs back

to the bed and got on top do him then gave him
one passionate kiss leaving him with a smile on his
face and a huge buldge in his pants.

Anesu: are we good now? can I go take a shower?

Nqoba: you can go

She got off him and he smacked her butt cheeks
while she was getting off, she gave him a stare
before walking inside the bathroom.

When he heard the sound of the water he got off

the bed and made it, he heads to his kitchen and
started making greasy breakfast for the both of
them.

He was finishing with the touches and Anesu walks

out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around
her body, he smiles looking at the beautiful sight in
front of him and realising that his morning was
getting even more better.

Anesu: stop staring I can feel your eyes on me

Nqoba: I'm staring at what is mine ain't nothing

wrong with that right?
Anesu: right

She rolls her eyes before shaking her head with a

smile on her face.

Nqoba: breakfast is ready

Anesu: I will join you in a second let me get dressed

first

Nqoba: do you want me to help you get dressed?

Anesu: no I don't want you to help me...

She cracks.

Anesu: are you insane?

Nqoba: okay can I watch?

Anesu: you are standing right there watching me

what more do you want?

Nqoba: take the towel off

Anesu's eyes widen, Nqoba can be a freak

sometimes.

Anesu: excuse me?

Nqoba: I'm not a repeater baby you heard me

Anesu: I heard what?

She is now playing his game and he brushed his
lower lip hiding the smirk he had on his face.

Nqoba: I said take off the towel

Anesu: are you sure?

Nqoba: I'm very sure love trust me

He moves from behind the counter and went to the

front, he leans on the counter and folds his arms.
She doubted the thought of taking off the towel and
finally came to a decision , she slowly removed the
towel which was wrapped around her body and it
slowly dropped to the floor.

He groans moving his one hand to his dick which

was showing of his hard self, he looked at her sexy
back and round shaped ass going down to her bullet
hole. Her thick thighs and her sexy legs, he looks at
her front body through the mirror and bites his
lower lip when he saw her well shaped medium
sized pointy hard nippled breasts. Not to forget her
vitiligo making her look even more astonishing and
the more his stared the more his dick continued
throbbing down there wanting to shoot out of his
sweatpants.

Nqoba: go on lotion your body

She did a little dance swaying her ass side to side,

he hissed and his eyes are now bloodshot red. She
started lotioning her body and she did it really slow
as if she was not rushing anywhere, not forgetting
to place her leg on to of the bed and she lotioned
her thighs and bending over a little to lotion her
feet.

Anesu: is that better?

She gave her a side stare with her eyes giving her
lower lip a slight bite, he couldn't stand so much
heat but he didn't want to show it even though
another part of his body was already exposing him.

He walks up to her with his hands on his pocket and

he stood behind her pressing his hard self right on
her ass making her eyes to widen a bit.

Nqoba: let me help you

he took the lotioning cream from her hand and

squeezed in on his other hand, he placed the
lotioning cream on the stand while breathing
closely to her neck. He pressed his hands together
and he lotioned her back, he plants a kiss on her
shoulder and his hands moved under next her arm
pits heading to her chest then down to her breast
he went.
He pressed her nipples and she moans, he gave her
breasts a gentle squeeze followed by a groan as he
continued to plant kisses on the back of her
shoulder.

Nqoba: you have the most beautiful body

Anesu: thank you

Nqoba: it's a masterpiece

Anesu: that only you can touch

He pressed her nipples once more.

Nqoba: damn yeah you are right

He made her turn around and he cups her face
pulling her closer to his and giving her a wild kiss, he
poured his horny heart out as he devoured her
precious lips leaving her stunt.

Nqoba: I need a cold shower

He pecks her lip.

Nqoba: I love you

Anesu: I love you more

She smiles and pecks his lips, he went to take his

cold shower and Anesu just stood in front of the
mirror looking at her body.
She smiles widely and she got dressed, she wore
her lace thong and a blue summer dress which was
tight around her waist and loose at the buttom.

She wore her sandals and she sat on the kictehn

high chair having her breakfast, she couldn't wait
for Nqoba because he appetite was on another
level.

He felt his hand placement on her back and he

kissed her on the cheek, he was dripping wet.

Anesu: Nqoba you are making me wet

Nqoba: am I?

He gave her those eyes and she rolls hers.

Anesu: you are naughty

Nqoba: you said I made you wet what was I suppose
to think?

Anesu: uhm you just got our of the shower and your
hole body is wet because you did not wipe it

Nqoba: I'm just messing with you baby

He smiles and took bacon from her plate.

Anesu: you have your food right over there why

take mine?

Nqoba: I wanted to

Anesu: I will take your bacon then

She stood up from her seat and Nqoba quickly
caught her wrapping his hands around her so she
does not get to his plate.

Anesu: Nqoba you are wet and you are making me

wet now I have to change

Nqoba: I love hearing you say that word...you are

saying I made you what?

She rolls her eyes and finally got out of his grib.

Anesu: look now I have to change

She waves her hands to her dress which was sort of

wet and she pouts, the door bell rang.

Nqoba: I will get it

Anesu: I wasn't going to get it anyways

She went to his closet and Nqoba went to get the

door.

He opened the door and his problem was standing

at the door.

Nkanyezi: Good morning baby i made you breakfast

Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: you don't get it do you?

Nkanyezi: I don't get what? I don't care Nqoba if

you don't love me you will get used to me once we
are married now move
He pushed her and made her way inside, Nqoba did
not bother to stop her since she came here
uninvited so she will be blessed and learn to never
enter a house she was never invited to enter.

Nkanyezi: where should I place the food? the

couch? kitchen...wait two plates? who does this
other plate belong to? did you bring a whore into
our house

She shouts.

Nqoba: she is way better then you think and don't

you ever call her that again or else I will forget the
promise I made to myself to never hurt a woman
and I will smash your face against that wall till your
whole skull splits into half...you hear me?
Nkanyezi: Nqoba how long do you want to keep on
hurting me?

Nqoba: I'm not hurting you but you are the one
who's hurting yourself

Anesu walks out of the closet fixing her tight long

brown v neck dress and she stops on her tracks
when she saw Nkanyezi, she looks at Nqoba with
her eyes popped out.

Nkanyezi: you brought her here? UNBELIEVABLE!

She shouts.

Anesu: I think i should give you two some space

She turned on her tracks continuing to fix her dress

and Nqoba stoped her.
Nqoba: turn around and come to me

Anesu turned around and looks at Nqoba with

disbelief written all over her face.

Anesu: I think I should give you two some space and

respect y'alls privacy

Nkanyezi: why won't you just pack your cheap

things and leave my man alone?

Anesu: your man?

She scoffs and nods her head multiple times as if

she was thinking.

Anesu: okay
she shrugs and walks up to Nqoba, she stood right
neck to him and he placed his hand on her waist.

Nkanyezi's jaw dropped and Nqoba made her looks

at her then gave her a kiss on the lips.

She brushed his lips and looks at Nkanyezi with an

smirk on her face.

Anesu: guess whose packing her cheap thing now?

Nkanyezi: how could...

Anesu: baby I will be in the kitchen

She walks to the kitchen and Nkanyezi clapped her

hands.
Nkanyezi: baby? she is calling you baby now?

Nqoba: I think that was enough to tell you that I'm

no longer yours but hers

Nkanyezi: if your father hears about this...

Nqoba: go ahead tell him and he should give me call

once he hears the news cause there is no way I have
time to listen to his scolding, I'm a grown man and I
can make my own decisions

Nkanyezi: you are going to regret this

Nqoba: don't forget to pick up your father at the air

port because we have a lot to talk about
Nkanyezi: Nqoba please don't do this...I'm begging
you please? I will be whatever you want just don't
dump me Nqoba i love you, I will...I will have your
babies and...

Nqoba: enough just get out

He opens the door for her and she walks out crying,
Nqoba closed the door and breaths put.

Nqoba: I'm a few scales away from getting

everything sorted out

He smiles looking at Anesu who was eating her

food.

Nqoba: I did not think you and it in you, I thought

you are a girls girl
Anesu: I am just not hers plus she called my stuff
cheap and I had to give her a taste of her own
meds, I have grown tired of her talking to me in that
annoying tone of hers I just had to put her in line
and silence her

Nqoba: now that's my girl don't ever let anyone

belittle

Anesu: yes sir

She giggles and Nqoba went to get dressed.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 41
NARRATIVE.
Once he was fully dressed he and his breakfast and
Anesu did the dishes, the plan he had for the day
was to check in his mother at the hospital with his
brothers and bring Anesu along felt like a good idea.

They walk out of the house and Anesu stood there

playing with his car keys while he locked the house,
he held her hand and they walked to his car.

His brothers had already left for the hospital and he

wa the only one left behind.

Nqoba closed the door once Anesu was inside and

when he walked to his car he saw his father
approaching him.

Lungani: what is that bitch doing here?

Nqoba: dude just give me a call and talk to me there
I'm in no mood to see your pathetic face and you
don't questions me ever

He got inside his car and drove off, Lungani was

pissed and Nqoba did not care not even a little bit.
He drove with once hand while the other held his
ladies hand a kissing it countless times.

Anesu: you are going to cause an accident

Nqoba: I won't trust me my ancestors won't let me

leave this planet because I still have to get you
pregnant

Anesu laughed.

Anesu: that is all you thinking off? you are crazy

Nqoba: I just love you and want to spend my whole
life with you and have the family I have always
wanted to have with the person I love

Anesu: aww baby...

She brushed the back of his head and smiled.

They arrived at the hospital and his brothers were

inside the ward, the machines were taken off
Ntongolozi and she was using the one machine
which was helping her breath.

Anesu stopped on her tracks shaking her head.

Nqoba: what is wrong?

Anesu: what if I cause some damage when I walk in
there like I did with Ntethe? I don't want to ruin
things for you and...

Nqoba: you are not going to cause any damage

baby you are light and nothing else

Anesu: but I think...

Nqoba: baby please don't doubt yourself

Anesu nods and they walk inside.

Nathi: brother I thought you weren't going to make

it...

He smiles.
Nathi: Makoti

Anesu: I'm not...

Nathi: don't phika(deny) it I saw you arriving lady

night with him

Nqoba: can you get your nose our of my business

and top freaking out my woman

Nathi: woman? I see...okay okay I'm sorry

Vezo: it's good to see you Anesu you are no longer

our little sister I guess

Anesu: I guess so

The doctor walks in.

Nqoba: Doctor how is she doing?

Doc: we did a check up on her this morning and she

is slowly recovering, the blood that was staring to
fill all over her brain and lungs suddenly
disappeared...I'm not going to lie I have never seen
such a quick recovery but all i can say is that she will
be okay and she's healthy

Vezo: Thank God

Nathi: I knew she was going to be okay

Nqoba: so when will she wake up?

The doctor shurgs.

Doctor: I'm also not sure when but she will wake up
trust me

Nqoba: thank you doctor

The doctor left the room.

Vezo: now that was great news

Anesu: really great news

Nqoba:you see? I told you no damage done

He mumbles squeezing her hand and she gave him

a smile.
After spending time at the hospital with their
mother and getting to talk, prayed they had to leave
the hospital.

The drive back home was rather dragging and they

arrived at the palace, Nkanyezi's car seemed to not
be on sight which means she went to pick up her
father.

Nqoba and Anesu arrived first.

Anesu: I will be inside the house

Nqoba: I will join you in a few just need to grab a

few things inside

Anesu: okay
He works her on the lips and walks to the palace,
Anesu walks to Nqoba's house and when she was
half way into opening the door she heard loud
gunshots coming from inside the palace.

Anesu: Nqoba!

She drops the house keys on the floor and quickly

ran inside the house with gaurds following behind
her, she arrived inside and gaurds followed behind
her.

She found Nqoba pointing a gun at his half naked

father whom he shot on the leg and Mrs Ngubane
on the floor covering herself with a blanket.

Nqoba: you BASTARD!

He shouts pointing his gun at his father.

Anesu: plesse don't shoot!

She begs the security gaurds who already have their

guns out waiting to fire.

Nqoba: you heartless bastard my mother is laying in

the hospital fighting for her life in order to come
back to us, to come back you and you are busy
fucking your guest? you fucking have the nerve!

He spits on the floor.

Mrs Ngubane: son it's not what it looks like

Nqoba: don't you dare call me your son I'm even

disgust to look at you and call you someone else's
mother, how can you sleep with another man's
husband while you are married? how sick are you
people

He shouts not removing his gun which was pointed

at his father, Nathi and Vezo walk in. They don't
waste time in asking questions, they simply take out
their guns pointing at the security gaurds.

Vezo: shoot my brother and all of you get a bullet in

your heads

Nathi: ohh shit I knew it and I told y'all they were

fucking

He laughs a little and the gaurds lowers their gun.

Nqoba: my mother is proud to call you her husband

and she loves you dearly, she makes sure to be the
best wife and this is how you thank her? is this the
thank you she receives?

He cocks his gun and got on top of his father placing

his knee on his chest with a gun pointed on his
head.

Nqoba: give me one good reason to not blow your

head and decorate this old palace of yours with
your brain pieces

Anesu: Nqoba please stop!

She shouts.

Nqoba: Anesu stay out of this

He roars.
Nqoba: I'm going to enjoy killing you

Lungani: you think your mother is perfect? you

think she is the perfect one in this marriage huh?
have you ever stopped and wondered why I killed
my own brother?

Nqoba: you wanted the throne that is why

Lungani: that's the story they keep on feeding you

and twenty percent of it is true but the eighty
percent truth is that your mother cheated on me
and slept with the person I called my brother and
gave birth to you

Nqoba: what? you are...you are lying!

His heart started racing.

Lungani: now whose perfect huh?

He smiles and Nqoba removed his knee from his

chest, he got up and he felt like the whole word was
spinning. He balanced himself with the couch and
he colupsed sitting down.

Anesu: Nqoba are you okay?

He was having heart palpitation.

Nqoba: I'm fine...I just need a moment to breath

Vezo: Nqoba are you...

Nqoba: I SAID I'M FINE

He roars and calmed down slowly, he got up from
his seat and felt like he was loosing it.

Nqoba: even if she did do that she doesn't deserve

this

Lungani: who is perfect now son huh? you thought

your mother was perfect in this marriage huh? you
thought....

Nqoba: shut up!

He shouts and started shooting at the floor till his

gun went off smoke coming out at the back, Anesu
quickly rushed to him and his gun fell on the floor.

Anesu: calm down!

Nqoba: fuck!
The door opens and Nkanyezi walks in with his
father.

Nathi: you are right on time...suprise!

He say with a little laugh.

Nkanyezi: mama? what are you doing on the floor

naked with Nqoba's father?

Nathi: are you a dumb five year old...

He sighs.

Nathi: I always knew you were slow even when

Nqoba fucking showed you he never wanted
you...you still felt like he will change and want you
again...

Vezo: Zinathi no!

Nathi: she's acting dumb can't you see that your

mother just cheated on your pops with your...

He laughs.

Nathi: was husband to be

He laughs even harder.

Mr Ngubane: so this is why you didn't want to

return back home? it's beacsue of someone else's
husband's dick
Mrs Ngubane: my love I didn't...

Mr Ngubane: save it I don't want to even hear it and

to come out with the truth I have seen why I was
called here and I would blame you if you don't want
to marry my daughter

Nkanyezi: baba!

Mr Ngubane: yes don't baba me little girl your

mother ruined things for you since she went back to
her old habits

Mrs Ngubane: what are you talking about now?

Mr Ngubane: I know that Nkanyezi is not my child

Mrs Ngubane swallows.

Nkanyezi: what? dad that can't be true

Mr Ngubane: it's true princes few years back I want

to check with the doctor and he told me that I
cannot have babies which suprised me because few
months later MaNgubane told me she was pregnant
and I went back to the doctor so he can check on
me again since I thought it was a mistake but it's
wasn't...I'm sorry princes

Mrs Ngubane: you can't have babies?

Nkanyezi: mma how can you do this to daddy? he

takes care of us and does everything from us yet
you hurt him not to mention that you hurt me...you
made me live a lie
Mrs Ngubane: so all these years you knew that I
cheated on you

Mr Ngubane: with my closest friend yes I knew but I

chose to continue to take care of Nkanyezi and treat
her like she was my own because she did not
deserve to die for your sins

Nqoba: I just need some air this is to much

He grabs the car keys from Anesu's hands and he

walks out without saying a word, Anesu stood by
the door step.

Anesu: please don't hurt yourself

She said.

[BACK INSIDE]
Nkanyezi was crying a river and Lungani was busy
flinching in pain, the two brothers worried abiut
their brother who just left after he heard what his
father had to say.

Mr Ngubane: I will call my lawyer to get the divorce

papers ready I'm tired of you and I will make sure
that you don't get a single cent from me, I will leave

He pushed her away and walks out.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 42
NKANYEZI NGUBANE.

The whole ride on the plane back home I was crying

a river of tears even my eyes got swollen because of
the crying. I can't believe that my mother hid
something this big from me, my father is also not
perfect in this situation because he knew and did
not tell me.

I can't believe their marriage was fake, he knew she

we cheating and he did nothing about it. The hugest
thing I can't never come to believe is how Nqoba
chose her over me, he dumped me and my mother
sleeping with his father did not give him a second
thought to think things through.

I just know it's over between us because he is not

even answering my calls, he never does anyways.
I'm so embarrassed right now, how could I not see
that he did not love me? I thought he was just angry
that he was being forced to marry and all that, I saw
his actions towards me and I just thought I was a
phase.
I have been with Nqoba for a long time and I know
him, when he comes to a decision he does not wish
to be argued with. By the looks of things I can tell
that he already made up his mind with her, he loves
her and she also loves him.

I was just wasting my time.

I wipe my tears and my father came to sit next to

me, he even poured me a glass of whisky.

Mr Ngubane: you should stop crying my dear look

at you

I sniff and took the glass from his hand.

Mr Ngubane: just because I'm allowing you to drink

in front of me does not mean you should do that
quite often, I'm still your father...
Nkanyezi: how are you still treating me like your
child after you knew all these years that I'm not
yours?

Mr Ngubane: I just learned to love you and you

were just an innocent soul who did not know
nothing, I wasn't about to make you suffer for your
mother's inconsiderate acts and I made a promise
that I will love you like my own and treat you like
my own...you were able to heal the scar I was
suffering with all these years when I found out I
wasn't able to have children, you healed me
Nkanyezi and I don't care if you are not my
biological daughter because I love you and you are
my daughter

Nkanyezi: I really don't get why mother would do

you like that, I'm really sorry you had to go through
all of that pain and see all of that
He wipes my tears.

Mr Ngubane: right now let's put my feelings aside

and nurse yours I don't want you feeling any type of
way and end up hurting yourself

Nkanyezi: I won't do that father

Silence.

Nkanyezi: so do you know who my real father is?

He nods.

Nkanyezi: can you tell me who he is?

Mr Ngubane: it's not my place your mother should
be the one to tell you the whole truth, I don't want
to get in between her and her truth

Nkanyezi: I don't want to see nor talk to her father

just tell me please

Mr Ngubane: all I can say is that your father is a

great man even though he does have his
shenanigans but he is a great man

Nkanyezi: father plesse tell me

Mr Ngubane: I wish I could but I can't...talk to your

mother and she will give you the answers you
deserve to know

I sighed and laid my head back.

Mr Ngubane: you should rest because it's going to
be a long ride and plesse stop crying

I smiled.

Nkanyezi: I will stop

Mr Ngubane: if you need anything I will be right

there

He points at his seat and he got up leaving me

there, I gulp down the whisky and I slowly laid back
resting my eyes for a moment and I ended up
sleeping.

NARRATIVE.
It got really late and Nqoba was still not back which
made Anesu worry a lot, she kept on calling him but
he wasn't answering her calls. Nathi and Vezo told
her that Nqoba will return safety she shouldn't
worry but did she listen? no she did not.

After seeing what happened this morning when he

had his gun out ready to kill his father, she got to
see the side of Nqoba she never knew existed. She
got to weakness his wicked side that he was
planning on hiding, if it wasn't for her being in the
room he would have pulled the trigger and finished
his father.

Anesu was seated on the couch dressed inner night

dress, she had her legs covered with a small blanket
and the televison playing in front of her.
She wasn't intrested in the television but she was
intrested in Nqoba returning home safely.

She took out her phone and called Mwandle, she

answered on the second ring.

Mwandle: Anesu hey...

Her voice was a little bit shakey.

Anesu: are you crying Thingo?

Mwandle: no I was just watching this tragic

romantic series which left me in tears but don't
worry these are small things

Anesu: Thingo don't lie to me in your eldest sister

and I can senses it when you are lying
Silence.

Anesu: is this about mom?

Mwandle: Anesu she's going to die okay...she's

getting worse and I don't know what more I should
do...

she starts crying.

Anesu: I will be back tomorrow I promise and we

will use the little money I have to take her to the
hospital, Mom will be fine...

Which money is she talking about? she doesn't even

have a sent on her right now.
Mwandle: I don't want to bother you sister and you
should use the little money you have...I just...

Anesu: Mwandle I'm your big sister and I will make

a plan just take care of mother okay?

Mwandle: okay I will

The door opens and Anesu stood up standing on her

feet.

Anesu: Thingo I will see you tomorrow okay....take

care I love you

Mwandle: I love you too

Anesu hung up and she quickly rushed to Nqoba

who was entering the door, she gave him a tight
hug and she could smell the alcohol all over him.
She moved back quickly.

Anesu: Nqoba you were drinking

Nqoba: so? you have never seen a drunk person

before? you are in luck I guess

He chuckles and Anesu was not impressed at all not

that she should be but you know...

Anesu: where were you Nqoba and I was calling you

none stop...

Nqoba: I just required some time to think

Anesu: couldn't you at least call me to tell me you
was okay instead of making me worry about you
and...

She paused when she saw the red lipstick on his

shirt and she covered her mouth as tears slowly
filled her eyes.

Anesu: Nqoba what is that?

Nqoba: what is what?

Anesu: stop acting stupid!

She shouts and he just clenched his jaw.

Nqoba: don't talk to me in that tone Anesu

Anesu: or what Nqoba?

Nqoba: don't provoke me please

He passed her and went to take off his cloths.

Anesu: Nqoba we are still talking

Nqoba: I don't want to talk no more

Anesu: you can't just come to that decision, I need

to answer my question what is that on your shirt?

She shouts and Nqoba looked at himself in the

mirror.

He sighs.
Nqoba: shit!

He turned around and slowly walked to Anesu.

Nqoba: baby it's not what you think

Anesu: it's not what I think? you have another

woman's lipstick on your shirt Nqobuthando what
am I suppose to think?

she's literally crying.

Nqoba: plesse don't cry...fuck!

He rubs his hand on his hair.

Nqoba: nothing happened baby I swear to God I did

not touch any woman
Anesu: what is the lipstick doing on your shirt? it's
obvious that you touched another woman while I
was worried sick about you...you!

She was being pissed and broken at the same time

with her little hands forming fists.

Nqoba: baby let's talk...

Anesu: I have done enough talking I just need some

air

She went to wear her gown so she can cover her

body, she did not want to walk around the palace
dressed in her night dress.
She kept on dodging Nqoba who was trying to talk
to her, she walks out of the house and Nqoba
cursed put loud when the door closed.

He has a lot happening in his life and as much as he

is a mess after finding out that he is not his father
biological son but his brothers son, the same
brother Lungani killed...it's overwhelming for him
and as much as he is hurt he doesn't want to loose
the woman he loves.

but what can he do? it seems like Anesu has made

up her mind about the whole situation. He stripped
naked and decided to take a hot shower, he stood
there for almost half an hour and once he was done
he dried his body and got out of the bathroom.

There was till no sign of Anesu in the house and he

sighed deeply, he got dressed into his shorts and a
oversized black t-shirt.
He sat down on her bed and he called Anesu but
stopped when the phone started to ring inside the
house.

The door opens and he sat up straight on the bed,

Anesu walks in and it looks like she was crying. You
could tell she was feeling sad because the weather
outside started changing.

She walks to her side of the bed and she took off
the gown, she got undercover and Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: you are not going to bed without solving

this issue

Anesu: I don't want to solve anything just take me

home tomorrow
Nqoba: okay I'm not letting you do this to yourself
and us

He got inside the bed and cuddled her from behind.

Anesu: can you stop touching me I need to sleep

Nqoba: don't do this to me baby can we at least talk

this through

Anesu: I said I don't want to talk

Nqoba: I understand that you are angry and

heartbroken but at least let me explain myself

Anesu: I'm listening

Nqoba: look at me first

She rolls her eyes and turned around to took at him.

Anesu: I'm looking at you now start talking

Nqoba: I wanted to clear my head and I found

myself in some bottle store...

Anesu: and kissing some woman...

He gave her the most scariest look.

Nqoba: I have tolerated your attitude and allowed

you to talk in whatever manner but that has to stop
this instance and don't ever interrupt me while I'm
talking...let me talk and I will give you the chance to
talk okay?
Anesu: okay I'm sorry

Nqoba: I did not kiss nor touch any woman by she

was the one who kept on throwing herself at me
but stopped when I told her to stop touching me
because I have a woman I left home...a woman I
love and planning on marrying, she did not have it
so I had to bring out my mother side and she left
but I swear I did not touch her nor kiss her, I didn't
even see that she left her lipstick on my shirt

Anesu: I believe you

Nqoba: I would never hurt you in that way Anesu,

you mean the world to me and I don't want to lose
what we have going on

Anesu: I'm sorry for overreacting

Nqoba: it was a valid for you to overreact and i
don't blame you but next time approach me with a
proper manner and tone I really would appreciate it
if I get back the respect I give

Anesu: I will keep that in mind

She brushed his cheek and he smiles.

Nqoba: so you were going to sleep without talking

to me?

Anesu: you have no idea...

She laughs a little.

Nqoba: don't ever think of doing that again

laykhaya we sit down and talk things through asifeli
ngaphakathi
Anesu nods and slowly got closer to him, she links
her forehead with his.

Anesu: I was so worried about you

She said in a low tone and you could tell she wanted
to cry.

Nqoba: I'm sorry I made you feel that way I just

wanted to think

Anesu: you know I heard your father...

He clears his throat and moved away from her, she

placed her hand at the back of his neck and pulled
him back.
She made him look at her.

Anesu: we sit down and talk about it remember?

Nqoba: I don't want to talk about it

Anesu: okay it's fine but just know that whatever

your father said does not define you...you might not
be his son and mother might have cheated on him
with his brother but none of their action define who
you are and where you stand, you are still the same
Nqoba I met

Nqoba: fuck...I love you woman

Anesu giggles.

Anesu: I love you way way more

He smiles and pulls her closer to his chest, they
slept.

...

Morning came and they woke up, took a shower

and got dressed. Nqoba decided that they have
breakfast at the palace today and Anesu did not
mind. They went to the place and they started
making breakfast together, he taught her how to
cook everything and she was a fast learner even
though she's a little bit clumsy.

Nathi and Vezo came downstairs, they smiled at the

sight of his brother teaching Anesu how to make
breakfast.

Vezo: well good morning

Anesu: good morning bhuti

She smiles and continues with what she was doing.

Vezo: you have some flour on your left cheek

Nqoba: I put that there

Anesu rolls her eyes.

Nathi: you two look serious

Nqoba: shouldn't we be?

Nathi: I'm just saying but you two look cute

together and I don't care...when are you finishing
with the breakfast?
Anesu laughs.

Nqoba: can you just wait patiently for my Queen to

finish unless you are impatient you can make
yourself some cereal

Nathi lifts his hands up in the air surrendering.

Nathi: okay I will wait

Vezo chuckles.

Vezo: so have you seen father?

Nqoba: no I haven't and I don't even want to see

him
speak of the devil and he shall appear, Lungani
limps his way down the stairs with help from Mrs
Ngubane.

Nqoba quickly wiped his hands and he was about to

approached them when Anesu placed her hand on
his chest.

Anesu: calm down

Nathi: this woman has the nerve

Vezo: what is she still doing here?

Nathi: that is exactly what I want to know

he folds his arms looking at their direction as they

walk to the kitchen.
Lungani: what is this home wrecker doing in my
wife's kitchen

Vezo: nigga you still think you have a wife?

he chuckles.

Nathi: ain't no way my mother is staying with a

cheater

Lungani: I asked a question

Nqoba: the only home wrecker i see in this kitchen

is that woman standi g right next to you

Lungani: don't you...

Nqoba: don't threaten me I will kill you in fact u
should have killed you

Lungani: killing me would have showed how much

of a coward you are

Nqoba just looks at him.

Anesu: I will go set up the table

She walks out of the kitchen but Lungani grabbed

her by the arm, Nqoba quickly moved from the
other side of the counter and stood tall right in
front of his father's face.

Lungani: this bitch is not welcome in my palace

Nqoba: let her go and call her a bitch one more time
I dare
Lungani: I banned this bitch

Nqoba grabbed his father with one hand on the

neck and slowly lifts him up in the air with veins
popping on his arms and forehead.

Nqoba: just in case you did not get the memo I

unbanned her

Lungani: you can't do that you are not king

Nqoba: I will be once I marry her

Lungani: you are not going to marry this home

wrecker she does not have blue blood in her and
she does not deserve to be your wife
"who said she doesn't have blue blood(royal
blood)," Mbhemu asked as he walked inside the
kitchen, he stood far away from Nqoba and his
father with husbands together.

Mbhemu: Nqoba place the king down this is not

how you should be acting and yes he did a grave
mistake but the ancestors will sort him out don't get
your hands dirty

Nqoba lowered his father down and Lungani kept

on catching his breath.

Lungani: my son will not marry thus girl...she

doesn't deserve to be his wife

Mbhemu: it's not about her being the deserving one

but it's about the what the ancestors what and they
want her
Mrs Ngubane: she will not sit on that throne my
daughter will

Mbhemu: can you pack your begs and leave before I

strike you with lightning

he jokes and Mrs Ngubane remains silent.

Lungani: even if they want her she does not have

blue blood

Mbhemu: and I'm asking you once again, who said

she does not have blue blood?

Lungani: I know it she doesn't have blue blood

Mbhemu chuckles.
Mbhemu: I'm afraid the King is wrong Anesu has
blue blood and on top of that she is a water
Goddess...I have told you this before you can't
change what the ancestors want because they will
always have their way of making things happen...

Lungani: that's impossible she can't have blue blood

Anesu: what does having blue blood mean?

Nqoba: it means you are from royalty

Anesu: I am from what? what? it can't be my

mother is...

Mbhemu: Abuse is not your mother a d your

surname is not Mtshali
Anesu's jaw dropped.

Anesu: who am I?

Mbhemu: your mother did not tell you?

Anesu shook her head.

Mbhemu: you should quickly rush home, she

doesn't have long and the more she holds on to the
truth the faster she dies...

Anesu: she can't die she still has to take care of us

Mbhemu: she called this upon herself...

he looks at Nqoba.
Mbhemu: you should quickly rush her home

Nqoba nods and he took Anesu hand walking out

with her, he called one of the driver and they got
handle the car.

The driver took them to Anesu's village and as they

drove the weather started to change, the car parks
outside the gate and Anesu walks out.

Strong wind starts blowing as she walked and

Nqoba followed behind her, she opens the door and
found Mwandle in the living room.

Anesu: where is mom?

Mwandle: she is in her room resting she told me not

to...
Anesu did not hear her out she marched straight to
her mother's room, she found her trying to sit up
straight.

Anesu got on the bed and held her hand.

Abuse: Anesu?

Anesu: mama you are dying...

She starts crying.

Abuse: I'm not going to die

She coughs.

Anesu: the longer you hold on to the truth mma the

faster you die and I don't want you to die, I don't
want you to leave me and Mwandle...we still have a
lot of memories to make and relive the moments
we were unable to have when I drowned...I want
you to be present during my wedding and hold my
first child...I want you to guide me throughout my
life and all that can't happen while you are hiding
the truth from me....so please mma

She wipes her tears.

Abuse: I'm not your biological mother...

Mwandle walks in followed by Nqoba.

Abuse: few years back I worked for this royal family

which was prosperous and I won't say I was close
with the Queen but we had those moments, the
Queen was pregnant with a baby girl who was
you...she experienced a few difficulties during her
pregnancy and when she gave birth it was a difficult
job...she was finally able to give birth to you and
unfortunately...

Anesu: she did not like the way I looked so she told
you guys to get rid of that thing...

She wipes her tears and her mother looks at her.

Abuse: how do you know that?

Anesu: would you believe it if I told you I saw it?

Abuse: I would became I know that you are special

Anesu: is that why you did not want to tell me the

truth?
Abuse: I was just trying to protect you from the
other world, I quite the job once I took the decision
to take care of you, I moved away from Zimbabwe
and came here, I settled in and took care of you

Anesu: when were you going to tell me mma?

Abuse: when I felt that the time was right

Anesu: when was that going to be? look at you now

Abuse: I just wanted to protect you

Anesu: if you are not biological mother that means

that woman I saw in my vision is...

She shook her head.

Anesu: she is not my mother...I don't want her mom
I want you

Abuse: oh my dear...

She starts crying.

Abuse: I'm sorry baby but you are not a Mtshali but
you are a Zwide

Anesu: no I'm not...I'm a Mtshali and I'm your

daugter that family does not deserve me they threw
me away as if I was nothing

Abuse: but they are your family

Anesu: how many times do I have to tell you they

are not my family
Abuse sighs.

Mwandle: mama Anesu is royalty

Abuse: yes baby she is

Anesu rolls her eyes because she does not want all
of that, Nqoba had to leave Anesu back at home so
she can spend time with her mother.

Anesu stayed in bed the whole day with her mother

and Mwandle came to join her during the night. She
might know the truth about her identity but it won't
change the fact that she loves her little family.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 43
NARRATIVE.

In the morning Mwandle woke up first and Anesu

was fast asleep next to her mother, Mwandle
smiled and went to prepare breakfast. While she
was preparing breakfast Anesu had a dream, it was
no vision but a simple dream.

Anesu was standing in a middle of a white room

dressed in her brown dress that she was wearing
yesterday, the room looked plain and it had no
door.

Anesu: hello?

She said and looked around but there was nothing

to look at.
Anesu: hello is anybody there?

there was no response and Anesu started panicking

but stopped when she heard her mother's voice.

Abuse: no need to panick my dear I'm here

She was dressed in a beautiful white dress and she

looked really good, she had a smile on her face.

Anesu: mama I thought I was alone...

She ran to her mother to give her a hug but Abuse

stopped her as she took a step back shaking her
head.

Anesu: mama...mma what is the problem?

Abuse: I can't let you come anywhere closer to me

Anesu: why you are afraid you are going to cough

out blood? I don't care mma I know you will be okay
and I just want to give you a hug

Abuse: you are giving me a hug but I'm afraid this is

the last time you will be seeing me

Anesu: what do you mean mma?

Abuse: I came to say goodbye

Anesu: goodbye? why are you saying goodbye? are

you going somewhere? let me come with you
She steps closer but Abuse took another step back,
Anesu stood on her tracks and she started crying.

Anesu: mama why won't you let me touch you? why

won't you let me come with?

Abuse: because I'm going to a place where living

people aren't aloud you still have a bright future
ahead of you and if I take you with me right now it
means that you won't be able to finish the quest
you were sent here for

Anesu: mama please...please don't go

Abuse started taking a few step back and Anesu

tried to move but it seemed like her feet were glued
to the floor.
Abuse: I will be your guardian angle and I will watch
over you

Anesu: mama please why are you saying such stuff?

Abuse: take care of each other and don't forget

where you come from, I might not be your
biological mother but I raided you and you are my
own

Anesu: mama please stop...

She shouts crying as Abuse disappeared out of

nowhere, Anesu falls down on her knees and starts
crying.

In the life of reality Anesu was crying in her sleep

and Mwandle heard her cries, she stops what she
was doing in the kitchen and she went to check on
her sister.

She saw that she was crying in her sleep and she
shook her.

Mwandle: Anesu wake up!

Anesu woke up from her sleep and she looks at

Mwandle while her chest moved up and down
trying to catch her breath as if she was running.

Mwandle: what's going on?

Anesu: I was...I was dreaming

Mwandle: of course you were dreaming, I can't

believe I stopped cooking because of your stupid act
She rolls her eyes and laughs a little walking yo the
door, Anesu sat up straight and looks at her mother
who was peacefully asleep.

She smiles and she took her mother's hand, she

gave get hand a kiss and to her surprise her hand
was cold as ice.

Anesu: you are cold mma...

She brushed her hand and held her other hand, it

was also cold and Anesu touched her forehead. She
was freezing cold and her whole body was cold like
ice.

Anesu: no no no no...mama?

She calls her and she does not respond.

Anesu: don't do this to me...mama?

She shook her and Abuse did not open her eyes.

Mwandle: no please don't tell me...

She covers her mouth stepping closer as tears filled

her eyes.

Anesu: mama please don't do this to me...please

don't do this mama don't scare me like this it's not
funny okay? please wake up

She shook her with her tears filling her eyes and her
heart racing.
Anesu: mama please you told me you was okay and
you told me...

She chokes on her saliva.

Anesu: mama please WAKE UP!

She shouts and Mwandle bursts into tears.

Mwandle: she is gone Anesu

Anesu: she can't be gone...not like this...not when I

just got back and wanted to start our live afresh
make up for the time I missed with her...she can't
die on me Mwandle NO!

The rain starts pouring outside as the grey clouds

gathered in the sky, you could see the flash of
lighting in the sky and Anesu looks out the window
with her eyes red from the crying.

She was fuming with anger and she got out of the
bed, exiting the room with her hands forming fists.
She walks out of the house and the rain poured
even harder, she stood in the middle of the yard
and looks up the sky.

Anesu: is this what you want huh? you bring me

back to this earth and give me a second chance to
spend with my family and you take away a dear one
from me? what did she do wrong huh? was hiding
the truth to protect me what she did wrong?

She cries and the rain poured on her face.

Anesu: you gave me a gift and I did not know that

your gift will come with such heart breaks, you have
me a gift and you take a loved one from me and you
think I will embrace that gift huh?

She shouts looking up at the sky and all of assuden

the earth started shaking.

Anesu: why did you bring me back if you was going

to make me go through so much pain? my own
birth mother wanted nothi g to do with me and
she...the woman you just took from me loved me
dearly with everything within her even though I
wasn't her own and you...

She looks down and looks back up pointing at the

sky.

Anesu: you took her away from me...what more will

you take huh? hat more do you want to take huh? I
have nothing left to give and...just take my powers
then. take them I don't want your stupid powers I
want my MOTHER! BRING HER BACK TO ME

She points at the sky frustrated and a huge lighting

bolt came from the sky approaching the earth in
slow motion, you could see the reflection of the
lighting bolt glowing in her eyes and she was struck
down by lighting and her body was on the floor.

Mwandle cried while watching through the window

scared to come out and the neighbours? well they
never miss a show.

...

After what seemed like 40 days and 40 nights Anesu

woke up and the lights coming from the roof
blinded her, she lifts up her hand and used it to
block her face from the light. She closed her eyes
and opened them once again, the blue vision was
gone and she was in the hospital. She looks around
the room and saw Nqoba who was sleeping on the
chair next to the bed, she slowly tried to sit up
straight and she let's out a cough.

Nqoba opened his eyes and When she saw that

Anesu was awake, he got up from his seat and
attached her with a very tight hug making her miss
Ntethe a little bit.

Anesu: Nqoba please...

She told him and he pulls out from the hug.

Nqoba: you almost made me land in the hospital

because of the stress I had, I thought I was about to
loose you

Anesu: how long have I been out?

Nqoba: twenty four hours

Anesu: what happened?

She started experiencing a sharp head ache.

Nqoba: your sister told me you started breaking

down after finding out your mother died in her
sleep and you got emotional went outside and
started shouting while looking at the sky and that is
when you were struck by lighting...

he walks up and down.

Nqoba: do you have any idea how I almost got into

an accident while driving you here? do you have any
idea how you almost gave me a heart attach baby I
thought I was never going to see you again
Anesu zoned out and she snaps out of it after a few
minutes as reality struck her.

Anesu: my mother is dead? she is dead

Nqoba...please don't tell me she is not dead...please
tell me she did not die Nqoba PLEASE!

She begs him and she starts crying, he felt shattered

as he pulled her closer for a hug while trying to calm
her down.

Nqoba: I'm so sorry my love but she is gone

Anesu shook her head.

Anesu: she is not Nqoba...she can't leave me

Nqoba: baby I'm sorry please try to calm down your
blood pressure is already high and it's stressing me
out, I don't want to lose you

Anesu closed her eyes and cried silently for a

moment while he held her in his arms, he was so
scared for her a f heart broken for her at the same
time.

She nods her head and he pulls out from the hug.

Anesu: I'm okay now...

Nqoba: let me call the doctor

Anesu: I don't need the doctor I want to see my

mother

Nqoba: you were struck by lighting and...

Anesu: I survived worse

She blinks out her tears and wipes them.

Nqoba: I don't care it's not up for debate

he said and went to call the doctor, Themba did a

check up on her and once again he was amazed.

Themba: she is completely fine though her blood

pressure is really high

Anesu: I will remember to breath now can I see my

mother? please

Nqoba looks at Themba and he gave him a nod.

Nqoba went to get a wheel chair and Anesu fought
with him that she can walk on her own but Nqoba
was not ready to risk it, she finally sat on the wheel
chair and had her pack of drip on her lap.

Nqoba pushed her around the hospital went to the

mortuary where the dead bodies are kept, As they
walked in Anesu felt her body getting really weak
and she started breaking down.

Nqoba: we can leave it you...

Anesu: I'm fine you can continue

Nqoba nods and continued to push her, the doctor

led them to where they kept her mother's body.

Anesu looks at the doctor.

Anesu: can I get some time alone with her?

Doc: sure

She smiles and left, Nqoba followed behind her and

when he was out the room he tightly closed his eyes
when he heard her loud cries.

Anesu: mama why did you do this? why did you

allow them to take you from me? why so soon?

She cries and held her hand laying her head on her
cold chest, she cried her lungs out till she had
enough.

She was having hiccups when she walked out and

Nqoba had left to get her some water while she was
inside, he hands her the water.
Anesu: thank you

He pushed her wheel chair back to her ward and

found Mwandle there with Nathi and Vezo.

Mwandle: sister...

She ran and gave her a hug.

Mwandle: please don't scare me like that ever again

Anesu: I'm sorry

She brushed her hair and Mwandle pulled out from

the hug.

Anesu: Vezo and Nathi

She smiles faintly.

Nathi: I'm sorry for your loss

he looks at Mwandle then back at Anesu.

Anesu nods.

Vezo: are you okay?

Anesu: I'm trying to be

She chcukled a little.

Nathi: you know we are family and I'm ready to help

with the funeral preparation
Mwandle: but we don't have money and we don't
have a funeral plan

Anesu: Mwandle that is not their problem we will

sort out ourselves

Nqoba went down on his knees not to propose

don't rush that part it's coming, he looks at her and
held her hand.

Nqoba: I hate to hear those words you know very

well that we are now together and that means that
your problems are mine and your loss is also my
loss so let me

Anesu's eyes filled with tears.

Anesu: I don't know how to...

Nqoba: just let me be your man and take care of
you

Anesu nods and Nqoba smiles, he kissed her on the

forehead ad he got up from his knees.

Nqoba: don't worry sister in law I will have

everything sorted out, you can plan the funeral and
you just give me a call and I will pay everything

Mwandle: you are God sent thank you so much

Nqoba nods and the doctor walks in.

Anesu: doctor can I go home?

Themba: I'm afraid you can't your good pressure is

to high and letting you go on such state is a risk
Anesu: I want to go home I will be fine...i can take
care of myself

Themba: ma'am I just said...

Anesu: I don't care what you said I want to go home

Nqoba: baby maybe you should listen to the doctor

Anesu: I want to go home

Themba sighs and Nathi laughed, Vezo chuckled and

Nqoba was dumbstruck.

why is she not worried about her health?

Nathi: now that's our makoti

Vezo: not taking no for me answer

Nqoba sighs.

Mwandle: sister I will take care of the plans at home

and you should stay here and get some rest, I don't
want you dying on me also

Anesu felt bad.

Anesu: fine I will stay...

Nathi: thank God

Anesu: just because I don't want to die

Mwandle laughs a little.

Mwandle: I love you I will see you later I need to
catch a taxi back home

Vezo: do you mind if I give you a ride?

He smiles looking at her.

Anesu: that's my little sister Vezokuhle

She warns.

Vezo: I know what did I say?

Anesu: I'm just warning you

Vezo: I won't try anything silly trust me

Anesu: mmmh

Vezo left with Mwandle and Nathi left giving Nqoba

and Anesu some privacy.

Anesu laid on the bed and sighed.

Nqoba: let me get you something to eat

he took out his phone.

Anesu: I'm not hungry thank you

Nqoba: I wasn't asking you will stomach up

something and that's an order

Anesu: I don't want to eat Nqoba I'm fine

Nqoba: I'm not repeating myself

he ordered something healthy in the phone and

went to get the order outside, he took a while after
arguing with some nurse who told him he wasn't
aloud to bring takeaway in for the hospital but
Themba stopped the nurse because she got to lose
her job.

He gave Anesu the food and watched her stomach

the food, She asked him to cuddle her and even
though the bed was small he made a plan.

they cuddle and Anesu started crying.

Nqoba: I'm here for you baby let it all out

She cried even louder and he brushed her back, she

fell asleep after crying and Nqoba sighs.
he is not enjoying seeing her in pain.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 44
NONTETHELELO MNGUNI.

Waking up has been my least favourite part about

life and it's not that I don't appreciate life, it's just
that I know that the minute I step out of the house
just to go get some fresh air this handsome good
looking guy who keeps on calling me his girlfriend
will be around and trying his very best to annoy the
shit out of me.

At this point I don't even know what to do because

in my room I have a picture of him and myself
together, the worst part is that we were kissing and
another worst thing is that I can't remember all of
these moments.

To me it feels like I have woken up from the dead to

start a new life on top of a life I once lived before.

I snap out of my thoughts as I got out of the shower

and dried my phone with a towel, I went to lotion
my body and I got dressed.

My wounds are healing faster then I thought they

would and I'm being glad about this whole thing
whereas I don't even remember how I got these
wounds in the first place.

The last thing I remember was being at the mall and

doing some shopping, the rest of what went down
after that I don't remember. Not even the slight of
colours maybe, I don't remember a single detail and
this is stressing me out because what if I'm crazy?

I can't lose my mind while I'm this pretty, I can't...it

can't be happening.

I got dressed into some baggy sweat pants,I can't

wear anything tight because it will irritate my skin
since I got burnt on the leg and on my god knows by
what.

I wore a white crop top and I wore a jacket since I

was feeling cold, plus the weather outside was not
weathering.

I head downstairs and I could hear my father

shouting and my mother who was trying to calm
him down.
when I reached downstairs father was standing at
the door with the guy that calls me his girlfriend, he
looks at me and our eyes lock for a second.

I closed my eyes shook my head a little bit getting

rid of I don't know whether to call a moment or
what, I look at my mother who was also looking at
me.

Ntethe: baba what is going on?

Mr Mnguni: nothing sweetheart you should head

upstairs to your room while I sort thus gentleman
out

My father forgets that I'm no longer a five year old

and he can no longer send me upstairs to my room
whenever something bad starts to happen.
Ntethe: but father...what is he doing here?

"I just..." my father interrupted him.

Mr Mnguni: go upstairs Ntethe Now!

he half shouts and my mother came to me leaving

gather there at the door, I look at the guy who was
at the door one more time and he had a begging
look on his face.

I just went to the kitchen and my mother followed

behind me, I could still heart father talking at the
door.

Mrs Mnguni: can I make you something to eat?

Ntethe: I'm not hungry yet

Mrs Mnguni: you have to eat so you can take your
medication

I frown.

Ntethe: but that medication makes me feel hungry

and you be complain that I'm wasting your precious
food

Mrs Mnguni: Don't be stupid sit down and I will

make your something real quick

I sat down with a smile on my face and mother

started making something, I was not focused in her
but I was focused on hearing what father is saying
at the door.
Mr Mnguni: you promised you would take care of
my daughter and that her life would not be in
danger if she was in your hands and as a father I
trusted you, I trusted you to take care of her and
few weeks back where was she? she was taken
from us and we did not sleep a blink trying to find
her and praying that she returns to us safely...

"but sir I tried my level best to save her and I

brought her back..."

Mr Mnguni: did you see the state you brought her

back in? did you see how she was? the bruises all
over her body and thus might sound harsh but I'm
glad she does not remember a single moment with
you

"don't say that sir...I love your daughter with

everything in me and all I want is just a moment
with her so we can talk," the guy begs and why was
I moved by his words? I'm telling you guys I felt
something when he uttered that he loves me...snap
out of it Ntethe you can't feel like this for some guy
you don't even know.

Mr Mnguni: like I said I don't want you anywhere

near my daughter now get out of my property
before I call the cops

he closed the door and I could hear my father's

foots steps approaching the kitchen, he kissed me
on the cheek and went to stand next to my mother
with a smile in his face.

Mr Mnguni: I'm sorry you had to wake up to that

sweetie

Ntethe: it's okay baba is he gone?

Mrs Mnguni: he will never bother you again

I nod and ate my food, once I was done I went back

to my room and got busy on my phone. As I scrolled
on my Instagram I saw this beautiful girl who has
Vitiligo, it was a picture of her and me.

what does this all mean and why can't I just

remember? it looked like we had a great time
because of the smiles we had on our faces but as I
think more about these pictures I have been seeing
I'm starting to wonder why I can't remember all
these moments.

I felt really bored staying in the house and in the

same room and this medication was making me feel
sleepy, I don't want to sleep but I want to have
some fun and get some fresh air.
I got up from my bed and I wore one of my
sneakers, I just want to go out for a small walk yo
clear my head even though it will take a million
years to make my father agree.

I went to the living room and he was seated with

my mother in his arms, aren't they cute?

Mr Mnguni: do you want anything dear?

Ntethe: yes I want to go out for a walk and I wanted

to tell y'all that I'm going out

Mrs Mnguni: Ntethe it's not safe out there

Ntethe: mom it's just a few steps out of here, I feel

suffocated and I need some air to breath
Mr Mnguni: Ntethe you are our only child and if
something ever happens to you we will...we won't
be able to live with our selves

Ntethe: yes like staying in this house and breathing

the same air over and over us going to kill me so if
you don't want to lose your daughter just let me go
out just for a few minutes and I promise I will be
back

My father thought about it for a second.

Mr Mnguni: do you have your phone with you?

Ntethe: yes I have my phone with me

Mr Mnguni: okay you can go

I smiled and turned around to walk out but mother
stopped.

Mrs Mnguni: go take my pepper spray it's inside my

handbag and then you can leave

Ntethe: mother I don't need a...

I look down and roll my eyes.

Ntethe: fine I will take it

I went upstairs to her room and took the pepper

spray I showed it to her and I left, I inhaled some air
as I took a step put of the gate.

Ntethe: finally...
I took a walk around the place and I got a chance to
see some neighbours I haven't seen in a while, they
all seemed really happy to see me and some kept
on telling me that they kept me in their
prayers....how lovely.

As I continued to walk I started to feel as if

someone was following me and when I turned
around there was nobody, I stood in that position
for a while and shook my head thinking that maybe
I created the whole thing in my head.

I decide to walk back home since the feeling that

I'm being followed doesn't go away and my hand
was holding on tight on the pepper spray.

As I was walking somebody touched me on my

shoulder and I panicked turning around, I took out
the pepper spray and sprayed it on the person's
eyes.
I panicked and ran away but stopped on my tracks, I
turned around and the person was standing in the
same position I left him. He looked like he was in so
much pain as he tried to walk with his eyes closed,
he was the guy that was outside our door step this
morning.

Why is he following me and what does he want? I

turned back and went to him, I felt really bad
because I thought that a thug was following me but
it was just him but what if he is also a thug and it's
just that I'm not aware of it.

Ntethe: I'm so sorry...

I apologized and he groans in pain.

"you came back?"

Ntethe: yes I did I'm sorry I sprayed the pepper
spray on you I was just scared because I thought I
was being followed and I just panicked when you
touched me

"I'm also deeply sorry I did not mean to scare you

like that," he said and I smiled.

Ntethe: I don't know what I should do to help you,

is there anything I can do for you?

"can you walk me to my car?"

Ntethe: where is you car?

"it's across the road by your house, it's a black

BMW."
Ntethe: okay I think I see it give me your hand

He gave me his hand and I walk him to his car, he

kept on crying about the pain and the more he cried
about it I was regretting everything.

it's my fault that he is in so much pain.

We arrived at his car.

"can you take out my car keys they are on my left

pocket," I listened and took out his cat keys
unlocking the car.

Ntethe: I don't think you should drive in this state

"my eyes are burning really bad."

Ntethe: I would go back inside the house to get
some milk so I can help you cleanse your eyes with
it but my father...

"I understand I will just sit here till the pain goes
away."

Ntethe: what if your eye gets infected and it all falls

on me?

he laughs a little.

"you are being over dramatic it's just pepper spray."

Ntethe: I'm not being dramatic I will just take you to

my apartment it's not far from here it's just a few...
"I know where your apartment is," he says with a
chuckle and I don't know if I should be scared or
not.

Ntethe: let's go then

"what about your parents I don't want them..."

Ntethe: I can handle them trust me now get in the

car

I help him inside the car and I drove off to my

apartment, we arrived and the craziest part was
that I don't have my keys with me.

Ntethe: shit I'm sorry I didn't know I don't have...

"here you go," he hands me my apartment keys
which are connected to his keys, he also has my
keys?

Ntethe: thank you even though this feels a little bit

wierd and creepy

he laughs and I open the door, he walks inside and

he has his eyes open. They are completely red and I
feel bad for him, he went to the sink and cleaned
his eyes with some cold water.

Ntethe: much better?

"yes it feels way better."

Ntethe: I'm sorry but what is your name?

"you even forgot my name this is bad...I'm
Fisokuhle."

Ntethe: it's a pleasure to...

Fiso: please don't say its a pleasure to meet you,

this is hella wierd and it's like I'm meeting you for
the first time

Ntethe: I'm really sorry that I don't remember you

Fiso: I should be the one whose apologising it's all

my fault that you lost your memory, if I hadn't
robbed Sphiwe Khoza I wouldn't have had him
kidnap you and torture you the way he did...

Ntethe: so you are the reason I lost my memory?

it's all your fault and I'm just standing here with
you? argh! I should leave
Fiso: yes it's my fault and I'm sorry Ntethe, if I could
change the time and go back I would do better and
make sure that nothing bad ever happens to you

this is a lot.

Ntethe: I should go back home...I just...coming here

with you was a bad decision

Fiso: wait let me take you back

Ntethe: you are not in the right state to drive I will

request and uber

I took out my phone and requested an uber.

Fiso: Ntethe please don't go okay? I want to make
things right and i know you practically don't
remember a single moment you have spent with me
but I can assure you that what we both had was
something out of this world and I would be lying if I
told you I have felt the same way I feel about you
for someone else...you are everything I have ever
wanted in a woman and having you be mine means
the world to me, Ntethe I was willing to die in order
to get you back and I can do it all over again baby if
it means I will have you back wrapped in my arms,
you are the woman I love and you are the only
woman I want to spend the rest of my life with

Who is chopping the onions? who the fuck is

chopping those onions? why? why am I crying like a
baby? Did this man love me this much?

Ntethe: Fiso I don't remember anything and I wish I

did but even if I try to think about it I can't...nothing
comes into my head because it's all completely
blank

He puts his hand inside his pocket as if he was

looking for something.

Fiso: I know that you don't remember anything but

try harder for us and before all of this happened I
wanted to pop a question for you...

he took out a small red box.

Fiso: I wanted to ask you to make me the happiest

man on this earth but it seemed like the world
wasn't on our side but I want you to hold on to it

Ntethe: I can't...I can't take this

Fiso: you have to take it and hold on to it

Ntethe: Fiso this is...this is a lot to take in and I just
don't know what to say

Fiso: you don't have to say anything just take the

ring and hold on to it, I still have hope that you will
regain your memory because I know that my baby is
a fighter and she will fight her way back to me...

he sighs.

Fiso: I need to fly back home because my brothers

need my help Anesu just lost her mother and I have
to go check on her

I felt a sharp pain piercing through my heart.

Ntethe: my uber is here I should go

He steps a little bit to closer and he held my face
making me look into his eyes, he smiles and leans
closer to plant a kiss on my lips.

I didn't respond to the kiss because my whole body

felt stuck and he pulls out, my lower lip is trembling.

Fiso: I love you okay?

how do I respond to that?

Ntethe: I have to go

Fiso: I will be waiting for you and my answer

I didn't answer him I just left him in there and as I

walked out heading to the uber I was over whelmed
by a huge amount of emotions which had me crying
my eye balls out.
why can't I just remember such a humble soul?

I arrived home and to my surprise my parents had

no problem at all, I quickly went upstairs to my
room and I locked the door.

I sat on my bed and I sighed, I took out the box

which had this beautiful diamond ring and I took it
out. I wore it on my ring finger and I look at my
hands.

it fits my finger so well.

Ntethe: God please make me remember

it seemed like I was living a happy life with him.

...

I don't know when I fell asleep but I woke up with a

very sharp head ache and the left side of my brain
was really painful. I did my morning routine and my
mother asked me to accompany her to the grocery
store to buy some few groceries for the house.

I had no problem so I accompanied her and I

followed her around the shop as she did her
shopping, should I be honest? okay I will be honest,
my body and soul is here with my mother but my
mind and thoughts are somewhere else.

I'm thinking a lot and it's not good for me, I'm
forcing myself to remember everything and as I
continue to force myself to remember the
headache became worse.
This memory loss thingy is making me feel like I'm
loosing a lot of time I should be spending with the
people I'm close with.

My mother smack me on the shoulder.

Mrs Mnguni: why does it look like I'm talking to

myself?

Ntethe: you are not talking to yourself I'm listening

Mrs Mnguni: you weren't listening and trust me I

know you Ntethe so tell me what is bothering you?

Ntethe: yesterday while I was out for a walk I met

Fisokuhle and sprayed pepper spray on him

Mrs Mnguni: you did a good thing because that boy

has been...
I interrupt her.

Ntethe: u should have left him there but I felt really

bad after I saw him in pain so I helped him

Mrs Mnguni: you did what?

Ntethe: I know I should be staying away from him

because he is the reason behind me being
kidnapped and all that but that man loves me and
it's a pitty that I can't remember anything

Mrs Mnguni: I feel like there is more to this

Ntethe: he told me that he wanted to pop a

question before all of this happened
Mrs Mnguni: what question?

Ntethe: he asked me to marry him

My mother gasped covering her mouth.

Mrs Mnguni: he did what?

Ntethe: he asked me to marry him and he did not

rush me, he understood that I don't remember
anything and he just told me to hold on to it and
give him the answer later when I remember
everything...isn't that wierd?

Mrs Mnguni: I still can't believe this

Ntethe: after that convisation with him I have been

pushing myself to remember everything because it
seemed like I had a happy life with him and I just
wish that I could...

Mrs Mnguni: don't push yourself Ntethe it's not

healthy you will remember everything when the
time is right

Ntethe: but I want to remember everything

"next customer please," the cashier shouts and we

went to her.

I helped take out everything my mother bought

from the trolley and then it's was time to pay after
everything was scanned, mother took out her wallet
and she tapped her black card paying for
everything.

She took out my card and gave it to me.

Mrs Mnguni: I kept it safe for you

Ntethe: I thought I gave this card to Anesu while she

went on a date with Sphiwe...

I said bluntly and my mother looks at me shocked.

Mrs Mnguni: what did you just say?

Ntethe: did I not give this card to Anesu?

Mrs Mnguni: why would you give her your card?

Ntethe: a girl has to have a back up plan whenever

she's going out on a date so when it doesn't go well
she has her own plan b to take her home
where is all this coming from?

Mrs Mnguni: did her date go well?

Ntethe: it went well I guess because I met Sphiwe

few days back at the mall and he did not look like he
was himself...

Mrs Mnguni: what happened after that?

Ntethe: I...I...

I felt the sharp pain getting worse and I closed my

eyes tightly.

"ma'am you can go now thank you."

Mrs Mnguni: thank you very much

we left the grocery shop.

Mrs Mnguni: are you okay Ntethe?

Ntethe: my head hurts really bad

Mrs Mnguni: we should go see the doctor

Ntethe: mma I don't need the doctor I just...I just...

She fell down on the floor and started shaking

terribly, people at the mall stood back and watched
everything as Mrs Mnguni panicked calling the
ambulance.

Mrs Mnguni: the ambulance is on the way baby

hang in there
She cries as it became worse.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 45
ANESU MTSHALI.

I was discharged like the doctor promised and I'm

waiting for Nqoba who went to sign the papers, I
am fully dressed into my black dress and I'm ready
to go home. I was told by Mwandle that my
mother's body will be arriving tomorrow and we are
going to bury her the following day.

I still can't believe that my mother was taken away

from me in a way that was never expected, I
thought she was going to be okay after she told me
the truth but I guess God had other plans for her.

They took her too soon and I was ready to spend

time with her, I was ready to go to a new year with
her. I was ready for her to be proud of me when I
pass my matric and go to varsity even though that's
not the plan. I was ready to get a job and build her a
brand new house, I was ready to have a small chat
woman to woman the day before my wedding. I
was ready to see her smile proudly as I walk on the
aisle with her hand wrapped around mine, I was so
ready to have her teach me and guide me on how
to be a good mother like she was.

I had a lot of wishes and small time, I will never

forgive God for doing this me and my little sister.

Nqoba walks in and he quickly rushes to me, he

used his fingers to wipe my tears. I did not even
realise that I was crying, i was just so deep in my
thoughts and I guess I felt numb.

Nqoba: it's going to be okay baby

I shook my head.

Anesu: it's not going to be okay Nqoba how am I

suppose to love forward while she's not there?

Nqoba: we will go through this together my love

just don't cry like this, it's not healthy for you and
I'm sure you don't want to land at a hospital again

I shook my head and look at him.

Anesu: I can't let my sister see me like this

I wipe my tears remembering that I'm the big sister
and I have to be Mwandle's strength but tell me,
how am I suppose to be her strength whereas I
can't even stay a moment without crying for such a
huge loss.

Nqoba: you need to be strong and I'm here for you

all the way

Anesu: thank you

I stood up from the bed and he was carrying my

toiletrie beg, we walked out of the hospital and the
minute we stepped out of the hospital cameras
were flashing at us.

Nqoba quickly pulled me to his chest and hides my

face.
"Mr Dube did you break up with Miss Ngubane?"

"how do you feel about your father cheating on

your mother?"

"did you know that your fiancee mother was

sleeping with your father?"

"who is this woman you are with? is this the Mrs

Dube?"

"is she the woman you left Miss Ngubane for?"

"was she there the whole time and you were just
playing miss Ngubane?"

how are they able to get their hands into such deep
personal information? I hate these people with all
my life, don't they have something much important
then stalking and shouting at other people with
stupid questions that are none of their business.

Nqoba: I have no comment

he opens the door for me and I got inside, I watched

him push the paparazzi out of his way and he was
pissed.

he got inside and locked the doors and he quickly

starts the car leaving the hospital, he parks his car
on the side of the road and he took out his phone.

Nqoba: can you give me a moment?

he got out of the car and I sighed, I could see him

shouting and he did not look pleased about what
just happened.
he got back into the car and he doesn't look at me
but starts the car.

Anesu: is everything okay?

Nqoba: everything is fine I will have that sorted out

and they will never bother us again I promise

I nod and look outside the window as the drive back

home filled with silence, I know he is angry about
what happened back at the hospital but this whole
ocward silence thing is killing me.

he drove inside the yard and parked his car outside,

I noticed Vezo's car parked outside and I got out of
the car.

I went inside the house and the house was filled

with people I don't know and don't even recognise,
they are stead on the couch and chairs having
muffins with tea.

Who are all these people and who called them?

I greet everyone and went to look for my little sister

when she saw me she gave me a hug and started
crying, Vezo stood behind her folding his arms.

Anesu: are you okay Mwandle?

Mwandle: I can't do this Anesu...I can't pretend

anymore it's hurts that I won't ever see my mother
again and it hurts even more because all these
people filled in this house never cared about my
mother, they all thought she was crazy and called
her names and right now they are in our house
telling me how sorry they are that I lost my mother
whereas they...
I squeezed her in my arms and kissed her forehead.

Anesu: you go to your room and take a nap okay? I

will sort everything out

Mwandle: I'm glad that even though I lost mom I

still have you

Anesu: we have each other Thingo lamama

I kissed her cheek and she went to her room, I

looked at Vezo and he opens his mouth.

Vezo: are you...

Anesu: just a second

I raised my finger and went to the living room.

Anesu: can I have everyone's attention...

they all turned to look at me and Nqoba froze at the

door as he walked in with Zinathi.

Anesu: thank you to everyone that took their time

to come here and support us as a family but I'm
sorry to say this but it's chai for everyone...

I smiled widely.

Nqoba: Anesu what are you doing?

Anesu: can you just give me a moment...

I sighed.
"but we are here to support you as tour
neighbours," one of the neighbours said

Anesu: where were you years ago when my mother

begged for your help when she had her daughter
drowning at the waterfall? did you help her then?
nope you did not instead you called her crazy and
all sort of name and now because she is dead you
are going to show up here and pretend as if you
ever cared for her so I don't want to repeat myself
get out!

that "get out" was a mouth full and they all stared
at me as if I have gone crazy.

Anesu: don't look at me GET OUT!

I shout and they stood up from their site leaving the
house, I kept shouting for them to get out and I
stopped when I felt his hand on my shoulder.

I went down on my knees and he caught me before

I could fall down, we were both on the floor and I
was in his arms.

Nqoba: I understand that you are hurt but you don't

have to kick everyone out like that, they are bad
people and pretenders but in order for your
mother's funeral to go well everyone who enters
this house should be treated in a propar way and if
you go around spitting out the hate you have and
anger do you think your mother will rest in piece if
she sees you like this?

Anesu: I just...I just don't know what to do and

how? I have never pictured this day happening
Nqoba: I think you should join your sister in taking a
nap

Anesu: I don't need a nap I just want to start with

the funeral preparations

Vezo: it's taken cared of sister in law

Nqoba: you see? we have your back now go in that

room and rest because you need it

Anesu: you are right

Nqoba: when you come out of that room I want you

to put everything that those neighbours did to your
mother and focus on giving her a brand goodbye
okay?

I nod and he kissed my forehead.

Nqoba: I don't want to lose you because of stress

Anesu: I will go rest

Nqoba: thank you

I stood up and left them there, I found my sister fast

asleep and I'm suprised she was able to sleep after
all that loud shouting i just did but I guess she was
really tired.

NARRATIVE.

It was night time, the brothers were up chilling

outside while having their food which Nqoba gladly
cooked and his brothers did not want to miss out on
the meal their brother cooked.

They sat down eating while chatting and they were

glad to see Fiso.

Nathi: I was planning on going to the shisanyama

but when I saw my brother heading to the kitchen I
knew that I should sit the hell down because I'm
sure the shisanyama got nothing on my brothers
cooking

Nqoba just shook his head.

Vezo: you are always on about the food all the time

Nathi: but honestly have you tasted food better

then my brothers?
Fiso: I have and my girlfriend is way better then my
brother

Nathi: you are just madly in love I understand

though it will wear off one day

Fiso: I doubt it will ever wear out

Vezo: so how is Ntethe? did she regain her

memory?

Fiso sighs deeply.

Fiso: she is doing better then before and about the

memory part? I wish she would regain her memory
soon

Nqoba: I'm sure she will regain her memory just

give her some time
Fiso: she shouldn't take long because I really need
my answer soon

Vezo: you need an answer to what now?

Fiso: I asked her to marry me

Nathi burst out laughing.

Nathi: you are lying bro

he continued to laugh and Fiso gave him a bored

look.

Nathi: oh you are serious

Vezo: what did she say when you asked Her?

Nathi: she lost her memory what do you expect her
to say? you want her to say yes to marrying a guy
she doesn't even remember? are you kidding me?

he laughed even harder.

Vezo: I'm sorry I don't mean to laugh but what were

you thinking brother?

Fiso: I love her man I was just stuck in the moment

and honestly being for real I do want get to be my
wife

Nathi: but she doesn't remember you?

Fiso got annoyed and Nqoba saw it.

Nqoba: okay Nathi that is enough now don't you
think? cut your brother some slack you know he has
been through a lot so you need to learn when to
pause sometimes

he gave him a straight face and he stopped

laughing.

Nathi: I'm sorry Fiso I did not mean it in a bad way

Fiso: you will never understand because you are not

in love

Nathi: I am not planning on falling in love either

Fiso: yeah right

he rolls his eyes and took a sip on his beer.

Nqoba received a text message from a saved
number on his phone and he was shocked for a
moment, he looks at his brothers then back and his
phone.

Vezo: is everything okay Nqoba?

Nqoba: yeah give me a second and I will be back

he stood up as his phone rang, he answers the call

privately.

While Nqoba was busy on his call Vezo decided to

take the plates inside so he can clean them up, this
is the type of a man you have when they were
raised right by their mother.
He did the dishes and as he did the dishes,
Mwandle came out of her room and she looked
really drained.

Vezo: you are awake

Mwandle: yeah and it feels like I haven't slept in a

while

Vezo: I understand you are exhausted and all of this

is heavy on you

Mwandle sighs.

Vezo: where is your sister?

Mwnadle: she is asleep and she has to rest I don't

want to end up loosing her also, I hate that she
keeps stressing herself
Vezo: you must be starving my brother cooked

Mwandle: I thought you were going to say you

cooked

She laughs a little and Vezo chuckles.

Vezo: I also know my way around the kitchen but

my brother Nqoba is the best

Mwandle: you speak so highly of your brother

Vezo: I grew up looking up to him as a big brother

Mwandle: that must be nice

Vezo: let me dish up for you

Mwandle quickly stopped him.

Mwandle: it's alright I can do it myself but thank

you

Vezo simply smiled and left the kitchen, he went to

join his brothers and he sat down.

Fiso: someone is being all smiley who did you see in

there that brought a huge smile on your face?

Nathi: your brother over here...

Vezo gave him a threatening stare and Nathi

chuckles.
Nathi: let me keep my mouth shut but I have a
feeling that we gonna have a double wedding next
year who knows

Vezo: I cut your tongue off

he hissed and threw his shoe at Nathi.

Nathi: don't throw your smelly shoes at me do you

know how much I cost?

Vezo: you should learn to keep stuff to yourself

Nathi: I said I was shutting up why are being all

jumpy? you going to sell yourself out and Fiso over
here will end up know that you are trying to court
Anesu's little sister
Vezo just clicks his tongue and snatched shoe from
Nathi, he stood up heading to his car.

Nathi: he was going to find out anyways

he shouts at Vezo who was getting inside his car

and driving off.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 46
NARRATIVE.

Morning came and like every usual morning

everybody wake up and they do their morning
routine, in this case we will start at the Dube royal
palace since that is where the tension is at mostly.
Once Nqoba was done getting dressed he prepared
breakfast for himself and while he was at it, there
was a knock on his door and he dropped everything
and went to answer the door.

when he opened the door he was suprised to see

his brothers standing at his door step.

Nqoba: what are you idiots doing in my door step

early in the morning?

Nathi: we came to have breakfast now move aside,

it also smells nice in here

he pushes Nqoba to the side and he walks in, Nqoba

clenched his jaw as he felt an invade of his privacy
but he allowed his brother to be.
Nqoba: since Nathi started the way for you guys...

he moved out of the way allowing Vezo and Fiso

inside the house, they sat down on the couch and
Nqoba went back to attending his pots.

Nqoba: honestly though you guys did not answer

my question, what are you doing in my house thus
early?

Vezo: we came to have breakfast because there us

no way we are going to sit on the dinning table with
that cheating man and his whore

Nqoba felt anger building up in him.

Nqoba: Mrs Ngubane is still inside the palace?

Nathi: yeah she still is and it's disgusting, she
doesn't have any shame that she slept with another
man's husband and her shame is so shy it won't
even show up even when we have journalists
speaking about our father's affair on televison

Fiso: I really hate it when the media has access to

our private family business and I still can't believe
that father is doing all this while mother is still in
the hospital

Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: I think I'm going to have to fly to the city

this morning after seeing Anesu and sort everything
out, I also have a few business meetings I need to
attend
Vezo: what about makoti? you know she needs you
during this hard time and it's her mother's funeral
tomorrow

Nqoba: I will be back first thing when I wrap

everything up, I won't miss anything

Fiso: that sounds great then, do you have any beer

or whiskey around here I am thirsty

Nqoba: look around man you will find something

Fiso gladly stood up and he went to look for some

whiskey, he went to this blur glass wall and he
pressed the button. The glass became clear and
there was whiskey bottles and wine bottles sitting
there ready to be drank.
He took out one bottle and he went to join his
brothers.

Nqoba: Vezo come take these plates and make

yourself useful

Vezo: why do you always pick me Fiso is the

youngest and...

Nqoba: stop whining like a child and get your ass

here

Vezo sighs and he got up, he took the plates to the

small dining table and placed them there.

he took his glass of whiskey which Fiso poured for

him and he gulped it down.
Breakfast was ready and they sat down together
having breakfast, their time together was filled with
laughter and they got to talk about a few business
ideas which they will initiate once they get back to
city where they be doing their business.

Once they were done eating Vezo and Nathi cleared

the table while Nqoba sat down with Fiso.

Fiso: thank you for the breakfast brother

Nqoba: don't mention it...hey I wanted you to

accompany to the airport I need to pick up an
important relative of Anesu before we head to see
her

Fiso: a relative? which relative I thought she had her

little sister and her mother?
Nqoba: stop with the questions and just come with
you will find out along the way

Fiso: this relative must be important

Nqoba smiles and gulps down his whiskey.

Vezo and Nathi were done with the dishes and they
left the palace, Vezo along with Nathi they went to
help back at the village with Anesu's mother since
her body was arriving today.

Fiso and Nqoba drove to the airport, Fiso was just

glued to his phone as he scrolled viewing previous
photos of Ntethe and himself.

They arrived at the airport and the private jet had

already landed, Nqoba got out of the car with his
brother and he wore his shades leaning on the car
as the door of the private jet lowered.

Fiso was just glued to his phone not even intrested

in the relative that Nqoba was talking about, as he
was not paying attention Ntethe steps out of the
plane dressed in a very beautiful caramel dress
which hugged her all in the right places.

She looks at Nqoba and he took of his shades, he

taps his brother on his shoulder and he looks at
Nqoba.

Nqoba: look whose here to see you

Fiso: here to see me? who could...

his jaw dropped as he saw his lovely woman

standing at the bottom of the plane, she tucked her
hair at the back of her ear and giggled as tears filled
both their eyes.

Fiso slowly walks up to her still not believing his

eyes and Ntethe just ran into his arms, few seconds
ago he was not sure whether she remembered him
which is why he walked slowly just to make sure
that he wasn't hallucinating.

He opens his arms and wraps his hands around her

waist picking her up from the ground, he spins her
around as she giggled and he finally placed her
down.

She pulls out from the hug and placed her hand on
his cheek while looking straight into his watery
eyes, he wanted to cry really bad.

Ntethe: I remember now...

he starts crying and buries his face on her neck, she
held him tight in her arms and brushed his back.

Ntethe: I remember every single moment spent

with you and I remember that you saved my life, I
thought that would nightmare would never end and
I thought I would never get to see you again but
yesterday when I...I saw everything that happened
and baby I'm sorry you had to go through the fact
that I did not remember who you were

Fiso: I thought you were never going to remember

he wipes his tears and looks at her still not believing

it.

Ntethe: I remember and...

She pulls out from the hug and shows him the ring
she had on her finger.

Ntethe: I would love to make you the happiest man

on this world Fisokuhle

Fiso: are you serious?

Ntethe: yes I'm serious I will marry you Fiso, I will be

your wife because that has always been what I
wanted to be...yours...

He pulled her closer by the waist and linked his lips

with her, they kissed as they had their hands all
over each other with emotions gathering up causing
the kiss to heat up and making some body parts to
start rising and tingling.
Nqoba felt like he is enough watching real live porn
and he cleared his throat

Nqoba: it was enough that I brought you folks back

together but I won't stand here and watch you two
make out in front of me...ngimdala kunani(I'm older
then you)

Ntethe pulls out from the kiss and she laughs rolling
her eyes.

Ntethe: can't you just let us live in the moment

Nqoba: not with my brother getting tortured like

that...never

he points at Fiso's bulge which was visible and

shook his head, Fiso covered his bulge with his hand
and Ntethe giggled.
Fiso: brother that was not necessary

Nqoba shrugs and heads to the drivers side of the

car, the boot of the car closed and Ntethe along
with her future husband got inside the car.

Fiso: Nqoba you knew all this time?

Nqoba: she told me yesterday last night and told

me not to tell you, I was also shocked but I didn't
want to ruin the surprise

Fiso: she's the one who gave you the call while we
were chilling?

Nqoba gave his brother a bored look through the

review mirror and continued to drive.
Ntethe: I wanted it to be a suprise

Fiso: ohh God I love you

Ntethe: you love me or God?

Fiso: I love you baby

he pulls her close.

Ntethe: I love you too

they kissed and Nqoba rolls his eyes.

Nqoba: I should have called a second car now y'all

making out inside my car...argh!
he focused on the road while his brother and
Ntethe were being naughty at the back, they arrived
at Anesu's village and Nqoba parked right outside
her car.

Ntethe: it looks packed in here

Nqoba got out of the car followed by Ntethe and

Fiso, they walked inside the yard and they greet the
uncle's which were seated outside.

When they walked in they pumped into Nathi

whose eyes widened and Ntethe instructed him to
not make a sound.

They walk to the living room and Anesu was seated

on the bed mattress with her little sister Mwandle,
they were all dressed in black and Mwandle was
crying what seems like a river with her eyes red.
This was not Ntethe favourite sight and she did not
feel good at all, Vezo walks to his brother and
whispers to his ear.

Vezo: they are on their way with their mothers

casket and body

Nqoba nods and watches Ntethe who slowly went

to kneel down in front of Anesu who bursts out into
tears seeing her friend.

Anesu: you are here? are you...

Ntethe: I'm here for you love there's no need to cry

Anesu pouts and she pulls Ntethe into a tight hug,

Ntethe gave her a tight squeeze and Anesu cried
even louder because that's the only hug she has
been wanting all along. They stayed like that till
they heard Vezo's voice telling them that the car is
here, Anesu started shaking as she pulled out of the
hug and Ntethe quickly took her hands and
squeezed them really tight while looking into her
eyes.

Ntethe: you are not going to start shaking and

looking weak, you have a sister who needs you to
be strong and good God you are allowed to cry as
much as you want because your big sister is here for
you but not right now okay? you hear me?

Anesu nods.

Ntethe: you are going to stand up and you are going

to be strong, you are going to overcome this whole
situation and you will not be weak okay? I'm here
for you and I got you
Anesu: you are the only soul I wanted to see and
thank God he brought you back to me

Ntethe: I love you okay?

Anesu: I also love you

Ntethe: now let's go outside

They stood up and Anesu held Mwandle's hand.

Anesu: you are going to be okay, let's go

they walked out and they all stood outside as the

ladies from the church started singing

UNGUMHLOBO WAM'UJESU
UPHI ONGANGAYE NA?

ABANINGI BAYAMSHIYA
NGOHLUBUKA NAMI NA?

ANGISOZE NGAHLUKANA
NONGITHANDA KANGAKA

NJALO SOTHANDANA NAYE

KHONA LANA KHONA LE

They sang the hym as the trusted uncle from next

door who would watch on Abuse the whole
afternoon while Mwandle went to work while
Anesu was still gone. The same uncle was the one
who went to fetch the body from the mortuary, a
six uncle's held the casket which was white in color
and had golden handles and touches around it.
They took the casket inside the house and was
placed next to the wall.

The pastor walked in and they sang a new gospel

song, They sang and Mwandle broke down in
Anesu's arms.

JES'ULIDWALA LAPHAKADE

AKEKH'OMUNYE SOZE ABIKHO

OFANA NAYE

(back up singer) SINGASHONAPHI!

SINGASHONAPHI SISUKA KUYE

AKEKHO OMUNYE
SOZ'ABIKHO OFANA NAYE

The pastor said a few words and they bowed their

heads and prayed, the house filled with everyone's
voices as they praised and got connected to the
spiritual side of themselves when they pray which
made Anesu silently cry and she got overwhelmed
by different emotions and they stopped.

Pastor: Amen

everyone: amen

Everybody bid their goodbye and some stayed for

some tea since they were starving, they used a
curtain to cover the place were the casket was
placed.
Mwandle was sleeping peacefully in the mattress
and Ntethe was busy serving the elderly woman
from church along with the pastor.

Anesu went to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of

water and she drank it, she heard someone clearing
his throat and she turned to find Nqoba standing
there looking at her.

Anesu: hey

Nqoba: hey love you feeling okay?

Anesu: I just have an upset stomach

Nqoba: did you eat this morning

Anesu: I did not get time to eat

Nqoba: that is not healthy at all you need to out
something into your stomach I don't want you
fainting

Anesu: I won't faint I just don't feel like eating

Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: I came here to tell you that I have to head

back to the city for some work and I already called
the pilot to get the private jet ready but I'm not
leaving until you eat

Anesu: wait you are leaving?

Nqoba: some emergency came up at the office and I

have to put those reporters back in line since they
have been having rather a lot to say about my
family on televison

Anesu: you should go back and don't worry about

me I will eat

Nqoba: I will leave once you have eaten

Anesu: Nqoba I told you that I will eat so just let me

be and you are going to be late for your flight

Nqoba: I know but care about you and I want you to

eat something before you land at the hospital

Anesu: okay fine

She took a plate and took out three muffins, she

poured herself some cranberry juice from the fridge
and she sat down eating.
he smiles.

Nqoba: now that's much better I don't know why

you were being stubborn in the first place

he kissed her on the forehead and then her cheek.

Nqoba: Ngyakthanda mama yezwa?

Anesu: nami Ngyakthanda

She looks into his eyes and he smiles after resisting

the temptation of kissing her but out of respect of
the elders in the house he kissed her on the cheek
then he left.
She sat there smiling alone while she ate her
muffins.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 47
NARRATIVE.

The sun was setting and Nqoba lands at the airport,

he had a private car waiting for him already and he
got inside. It took him to a hotel since his house is
not finished yet, he had to get through the
reporters first before entering the hotel but he
wasn't bothered that much.

He arrived at the receptionist and he took off his

shades, he looks at the receptionist who flashes a
Colgate white at Nqoba who just stared at her
without giving her a reaction.

Nqoba: are you going to smile at me all day or you

are going to five me the key card to my room?

He finally said after he stood there for five seconds

while the receptionist smiled at him, the woman
quickly typed in the computer and then she took
out a key card.

Her: you are all sorted sir it's room...

Nqoba: I know which room I'm going to it's written

on the key card

he picks up his small beg he had packet and he

walked to the elevator, he got inside and it took him
to the floor where his room was in.
he steps out and walks to his room, he used the key
card to open the door and he walked inside after
hanging a 'do not disturb' sign on his door.

He threw the beg on the bed and he picks up the

remote opening the air conditioner, he took his
phone from his pocket and called his personal
assistant.

Madison: good evening boss it's great to hear from

you after a long time

Nqoba: stop with the chit chat Madison and get my

file ready I will be there in ten minutes

Madison: yes boss

Nqoba hung up and he plugged his phone into the
charger, he walks into the bathroom and he strips
naked. he steps inside the shower turning on the
cold water and he stood there for a few seconds
then started bathing, he finished up and he turned
off the taps and steps out.

He dries his body and wraps a towel around his

lower part of his body exposing his well shaped
body and muscles, he doesn't go to the gym that
often but he sure does have some muscles.

He lotioned his body and he got dressed, he wore

his Calvin Klein boxers followed by his black pants
which his assistance brought in few hours before he
arrived since she was the one who had her booked
into the hotel.

He wore a his white vest followrd by a black button

up t-shirt and left the neck buttons unbuttoned, he
wore his silver cufflinks and he wore his suit jacket.
he looks at himself in the mirror and he brushed his
hair that's when he realised he has to go for a
haircut.

he took his car keys that the driver left after

dropping off the car he will be using, he took his
phone and he called Anesu on his way out.

he walks into the elevator as her phone continued

to ring, she answered on the third ring and she
yawns.

Nqoba: sthandwa sami (my love) did I wake you up?

Anesu: yes you did but it's fine is everything okay?

are you okay?

Nqoba: yes everything is okay and I'm fine

Anesu: why are you calling me so late then?

Nqoba: I wanted to check if you ate before you

slept

Anesu laughs a little.

Anesu: you really want me to gain weight huh?

Nqoba: no I don't I just don't like it when you miss

your meal eating every meal should be your daily
goal because each meal strengthens your immune
system and gives you the energy to overcome
whatever the world throws tour direction

Anesu giggles.
Anesu: okay Doctor Dube...I think I now have my
own personal doctor

Nqoba: you going to make a joke out of me now I'm

no doctor

Anesu: few seconds ago you sounded like one

Nqoba: you lying I was not sounding like a doctor

Anesu: okay you can have it your way but still my

way is the true way

Nqoba laughs a little.

Nqoba: don't even know where you took that from

he steps out of the elevator and walks out.

Nqoba: let me not keep you awake

Anesu: so you honestly called to check if I ate?

Nqoba: I also called because I missed you and I just

wanted to hear your voice

Anesu: awww that sounds cute

Nqoba: I have to go now love you get some sleep

and I will see you tomorrow

Anesu: be safe bye

Nqoba: bye baby

he hung up and unlocks his car, he got inside and he
drove straight to his company. he arrived and the
place was not filled that much with workers since it
was getting late and some were heading home.

Some were shocked to see their boss walking inside

the building, Nqoba took an elevator to his office
and he found Madison standing by the door.

She smiles for a second and erases the smile

immiedielty so the boss does not notice.

Madison: everything is ready for you sir

Nqoba: get me some black coffee with three

reasons of sure and no milk

Madison: coming right up sir

He walks inside his office and Madison went to get
him the coffee he asked for, he turned on the lights
on his office and he sat down on his chair.

He took a look at the files which were on top of his

table, he saw how his business has been sinking for
the past few weeks and it doesn't look good at all.

he sighs and Madison walks in with the coffee.

Madison: your coffee sir

She placed in on the table and he took a sip then

placed it down.

Nqoba: this is bad how long till the meeting starts?

Madison: an hour and a half

Nqoba: how long will the meeting take?

Madison: with my calculations sir the meeting will

take approximately two hours

Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: I think I'm going to need something stronger

then this coffee

Madison: I can get you...

Nqoba: there will be no need I will sort myself out

you can leave I will call you when I need you

Madison: okay sir

She left and Nqoba released a huge sigh, he did not
realise that he had so much work to do. He went
through the files and documents, he signed a few
things which required his approval after he read
them things.

He went through the documents that will be

involved in today's meeting, he stood up and
poured himself some whiskey leaving the coffee
because it seemed weak for him.

He took off the suit jacket and threw it on the

couch, he walked around looking at the document
and he made some few notes for himself.

He came out with a few new strategies and a few

business offers he would use so that his clients
don't back down on him, it was heavy business and
once he was done he sat in the dark room enjoying
his glass of whiskey.
he was disturbed by a sudden knock on the door.

Nqoba: come in

Madison pops her head through the door.

Madison: sir they are here and it's time

Nqoba nods and Madison closed the door, he gulps

the glass down and he wore his suit jacket. He took
the document he had been reading and the notes
he made, he walks inside the boardroom. It was the
most dragging two hours of his life and he felt
exhausted but he couldn't stop, he was frustrated
at the same time but didn't show it.

Two hours later the meeting was over and he just

sat down there having his glass of whiskey, he did
not bother to shake hands with the people he was
having a meeting with because they pissed him off
and he was no longer in the mood.

He stayed in the office till it was ten at night and he

finally steps out of the office, he was the last person
to leave the company and he got inside his car.

he felt exhausted and tired, he drove to the location

where his new house was being built and he spent a
few minutes looking at the structure of the house
which was nearly done.

Once he was convinced with house he drove

straight to the airport, he got inside the private jet
and he the himself on the seat.

He insisted that he should not be disturbed as he

slept when they took off.
...

The day millions of children fear the most and

which to never arrive, the day were they have to
bury their parent. There are a lot of people who
have been left with wound which are still unable to
heal till this day because of their parents tragic
death.

Those who have gone through this tragic day might

call it the worst day of their lives, the day when a
part of you goes missing and never to return again.
The day when their whole lives come colupsing and
they just don't know where to begin when they
have to move ahead with their lives.

Anesu woke up pretty early and started with the

preparation of her mother's funeral, a few
neighbour came to help with the cooking and all the
groceries they required were bought by Vezo and
Fiso. Nathi was helping the guys who were setting
up the tent while Ntethe helped in the kitchen, this
was the busiest day and Anesu wanted this day to
be perfect even though it her biggest night mare
coming true but she honestly wants her mother to
have decent funeral.

Mwandle was also helping around at the kitchen

and Anesu went around checking the decoration at
the tent, she kept on scolding the decorator about
putting everything in the wrong place.

Anesu: that is hanging in the wrong direction it

should be...It shouldn't be like that...yes tilt it a little
bit and...argh! not like that

Ntethe noticed and she excused herself from the

kitchen, she walks up to Anesu and she placed her
hand on her shoulder.
Ntethe: Anesu you need to calm down

Anesu: DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!

She snaps and Ntethe expression changed as she

did not expect Anesu to snap at her.

Ntethe: I will head back to the kitchen

Anesu sighs.

Anesu: Ntethe wait...

She held her by the arm stopping her from leaving

Anesu: I'm sorry I did not mean to snap on you it's

just that I want everything to be perfect
Ntethe: everything is perfect Anesu these people
Vezo hired are very good at their job I even looked
them up and they are good trust me, you should
relax and let them do their job

Anesu: I guess you are right have you heard from

Fiso about when Nqoba will be arriving?

Ntethe: no I haven't talked to Fiso yet he seems

busy but I'm sure Nqoba is on his way

Anesu: thank you

Ntethe: have you bathed yet?

Anesu shook her head and she was embarrassed a

little.
Ntethe: you can leave everything to us and you can
go freshen up okay? the service is going to begin
any time soon

Anesu: I did not realise let me go freshen up

She left heading inside to take a bath and once she

was done, she lotioned her body and stood in front
of her bed staring at two dresses which are her
options then the devil creeps into her head making
her realise that Nqoba hasn't arrived.

She took her phone and called him but his call went
straight to voicemail, she called him once more and
he did not answer. She starts panicking and the
room door opens, Anesu quickly covered her body
with the towel.

Her muscles relax a little bit when Mwandle walked

in the room closing the door behind her.
Anesu: thank God it's you I thought it was
somebody else

She removes the towel from her body.

Mwandle: I'm sorry I would have knocked it just

that I did not think you would be here...I just came
to get dressed since the service is about to begin

Anesu: it's okay

Mwandle went to the wardrobe taking out her black

dress which looked really beautiful and decent.

Mwandle: you look stressed sister? what is going

on?
Anesu: it's nothing why do you think there's
something going on?

Mwandle: you look stressed about something and

you panicked when I walked in the room which is
very unusual of you since we share the room so talk
to me sister what is going on?

Anesu sighs.

Anesu: I don't know which dress to wear

Mwandle laughs a little and walks up to her sister.

Mwandle: look I have seen your effort and I have

noticed how you want this day to be nothing but
perfect and I can assure you that everything will go
well okay? we are going to lay our mother to rest
and the most recent way, everything will be perfect
and there s nothing to worry about so you can we
at whatever dress you want to wear as long as you
will feel comfortable and look beautiful there's
nothing more you should worry yourself with we
are going to go through this together okay?

Anesu gave Mwandle a tight hug.

.

ANESU MTSHALI.

After having talking with Mwandle I felt that she

was right, I should not be stressing about making
this day being perfect for my mother as it's already
is even though she is no longer with us in the land
of the leaving but I'm sure that wherever she is at
this moment she appreciates our final goodbye to
her.
Mwandle got dressed and she left the room, I finally
picked a dress which was a black Solid Ruched Cami
Black Long Dress and I cover my shoulders with a
lace black scarf.

I wore my black 1.5 inch block heel and I don't want

to forget my black shades so I can cry proparly
without anyone looking at me.

I walk out of the room and it seemed like I was the

only one left in the room, I walk out and went to the
tent where almost everyone was seated. I took a
seat on the front row next to my little sister and I
squeezed her hand, I look at Nqoba's empty seat
next to me and I swallowed the lump on my throat
which slowly started to build up as they brought my
mother's casket inside the tent.
I look at the huge framed picture of her in front of
me and I couldn't hold them back, I broke down
silently and used some tissue to wipe my tears as
the service started.

The church choir started a song.

BOHLALA NENKOSI

PHAKADE NAPHAKADE

BAYOSULWA IZINYEMBEZI

BHEKANI LUYEZA LOL'SUKU LWENKOSI

BONKE ABANGCWELE BAYOHLWITHWA NGUJESU

AMEN AMEN AMEN

HALLELUJAH

The pastor stood on the podium with a mic on his

hand and I wipe my tears once more, I felt Nathi's
hand rubbing my shoulder and I know it's him
because I saw that I was seated behind him and I
guess he saw how much I was crying.

Pastor: we are all gathered here to lay this beautiful

soul to her final place and before I can start with
today's sermon I would like all of us to bow our
heads and pray so that we welcome the holy spirit
into this place

He closed his eyes and I closed mine, the pastor

started pestering and the everyone joined in. I
didn't feel like uttering any words so I had a silent
prayer and I cried silently.
Pastor: Amen

everyone: Amen

I opened my eyes and I could smell his cologne, I

could feel his energy right next to me and he held
my hand and brought it closer to his lips and he
gave it a kiss.

I closed my eyes for a second and open them, I

know he promised to be here first thing in the
morning and even though he arrived late I'm just
glad he made it.

He squeezed my thigh and he removes his hand

from my thigh, I look at him and he looks me in the
eyes. I guess that was him apologising for being late
and I gave him a slight nod then looked forward at
the pastor who was talking.
Pastor: I know that this is a very dark day for the
Mtshali family and I don't wish this day for anyone
in this room but I hope they find healing in these
few verses I would like to share with them...

he opens his bible.

Pastor: I won't take long I will just read three verses

from the Lord's bible and I will give the family the
chance to say their last words....

he starts singing.

WETHEMBEKILE JESU

WETHEMBEKILE JESU
AMALANGA NAMALANGA

WETHEMBEKILE JESU

YOU ARE HOLY MY LORD

YOU ARE HOLY

YOU ARE HOLY MY LORD

YOU ARE HOLY

YOU ARE HOLY MY LORD

YOU ARE HOLY

YOU ARW HOLY MY LORD

YOU ARE HOLY

Pastor: Psalm chapter 38 verse 18 says UJehova

useduze nabo abanenhliziyo eyaphukileyo;
uyabasindisa abanomoya odabukileyo (The Lord is
close to the brokenhearted and saves those who
are crushed in spirit) we might have lost some
people along the year, people that are very close to
our hearts and we might have went through the
toughest heartbreaking moments were we thought
our lives have come to an end but no my dear folks,
God has a reason for whatever situation he throws
right at your face.

he wiped his face with his cloth.

Pastor: God has his own way of showing you that he

is present in your life, he might show you in the
most heartbreaking way but he is there and his not
going anywhere. He made you go through that
heartbreak and he will also be the one who will
restore happiness into your life, he will be the one
who will pick you up and make you stand on both
your feet. I don't want to be long but my children...

he looks at Mwnadle and I.

Pastor: this might be the saddest day of your life...

he is right it's the most saddest day of my life which

I badly wish was a dream.

Pastor: but God loves and he has big plans for you,
he did not take your mother because he felt like it
but everyone has their time of leaving this earth
and I'm afraid it was your mother's time to leave
this earth and don't be heart broken about it in fact
whenever you feel weak and numb remember
Isaiah 41 verse 10 whereby the Lord tell us to not
fear because he is with you and he also tells you to
not be dismayed for he us your God he will
strengthen you and help you, when you face
difficult times in life he will uphold you with his
righteous right hand...

he smiles a little and my heart just melts, does God

really love me like the bible states he does?

Pastor: God will heal you and he shall make you

whole again, let's close our eyes and pray
Nkulunkulu onamandla onke...

I burst into tears as they prayed and Nqoba gave me

a side hug, everybody prayed in the tent and I was
overwhelmed with lots of emotions and felt like
screaming and cursing at those stupid ancestors but
the last time I did that I ended up in the hospital.

everyone: amen
he steps down the podium and shakes our hands
then he goes to take his seat, The woman who was
the program director stood up.

Her: thank you pastor for the lovely heart warming

words and now I would like to call upon Anesu
Zesuliwe Mtshali who is Abuses first daughter to
come say a few words about her mother

can the whole earth swallow me now? I can't do

this and I don't think I will be able to stand up. I
took a deep breath and Mwandle squeezed my
hand, does this little sister of mine know that she is
the strength I have always needed? does she know
how much that little squeeze ment to me?

I cleared my throat and I stood up heading to the

stage, I stood in front of the podium and my heart
starts racing as I had a lot of eyes staring at me.
I closed my eyes and I open them, I look at the
pictures of my mother which were being showed on
the television and I blink away my tears till I
couldn't.

Anesu: I'm sorry...

I burst out into tears and I don't know when did he

get up from his seat but I felt him wrap his
masculine arms around me and giving me a tight
warm hug. I could hear him telling me that it's okay
and I cried even louder, I woke my tears and took a
deep breath.

Nqoba: say the word and I'm kicking all of their

asses for making you cry

I laughs a little and he smiles.

Nqoba: you can do this

he kissed my forehead and steps back.

Anesu: I'm really sorry for that uhm...firstly I would

like to thank everyone who took their time to come
here and support us as the Mtshali family we
appreciate it *clears throat* as a young baby I was
never wanted by my real parents and I actually
didn't know that up until now *sniff* Abuse took
me and raised me as her very own daughter when
my biological mother wanted nothing to do with me
since she did not like the way I looked when I came
out of her womb, Mam'Abuse raised me as her own
and the way she showered love on me even I myself
I'm amazed how she was able to love me even
though I was never her biological daughter...I
remember the time when I would be bullied at
school by lids because of my appearance and they
would call me names, I would come home crying
and my mother would comfort me and tell me how
special I was and that the word is just be harsh and
throwing all sort of comments about the way I
looked because they fear how rare I was...my
mother did not have a favourite she loved both
Mwandle and I which I am very grateful off even
though some children in this village took away all
the years I would have spent with my mother by
pushing me inside a flowing stream and took away
the time I would have been able to spend with my
mother but I am grateful that I was able to spend
that little time with her and a lot might wonder how
I came back after a lot thought I was dead? I also
don't know why but I'm really thankful and grateful
that I got to meet my mother and reunite with my
family, I don't know what I would have done if I
returned and she was no more...*sniff* Abuse has
been a great mother and she gave me all the love
my biological mother failed to give me and which is
why she will forever be in my heart and she will
forever be in my memory, I will work hard and I will
make her proud...*sniff* I love you mom and you
left us to soon, it really hurts that I will never get to
see you beautiful smile and hug you and hear you
tell us how much you love and wish nothing but the
best for us...while you are up there mma please
watch over us and don't forget about us we will also
not forget about you...rest in power and rest easy
mawami your daughters love you

i steps down the podium and walks down the stage,

everyone who was seated down was in tears and
when I sat down I gave my little sister a tight hug.

the program director stood up heading to the

podium.

Her: this is getting emotional, can I have Mwandle

Thingokazi Msweli the youngest daughter to come
up and say some few words to her mother
Mwandle stood up and she walks up the stage, she
stood on the podium and breaths on the mic.

Mwandle: I wrote down a speech for my mother...

She opens the paper she had in her hand and she
looks at me with her tears filling her eyes.

Mwandle: a letter to my dearest loving mother,

death is so tragic and I never wish it upon
anybody...few days ago death took you away from
me and I since that day I have been left with a scar
that doesn't want to heal. I would wake up at night
and start crying because of the realisation of the
fact that I will never see you again, I grew up feeling
your motherly love and affection towards me but I
guess the day we cuddled in your bed was the last
time I felt your arms wrapped around me and listen
to your heart bit till I fall asleep...
I burst into tears.

Mwandle: i will never have to wake up every

morming and prepare tour favourite porridge which
you scolded me for three full month to learn the
right way to cook it till I was able to do it, I will
never sit down with you and talk about how life
gets, I will never have that mother and daughter
talk where you advice me about relationships and I
will never have you watch me graduate, you will
never get to see me get a better job and provide a
better life for you, you will never get to see my
husband and talk to him about my embarrassing
moments as a kid and threaten his life if he doesn't
take care of me, you will never get to see me walk
down the aisle in a white dress not that I'm planning
on doing it...

I choke on my own tears as I laughed and Mwandle

sighs.
Mwandle: out of everything mom I'm thankful and
grateful that I got you as my mother, thank you for
bringing me into this world and thank you for
making me the woman I am right now...you have
been through a lot sthandwa Sami trust me I have
seen you struggle and now it's time for you to rest, I
hope we will get to meet again on the other side
and please watch over my sister and myself don't
allow us to grow apart and be a good ancestor and
shine light on our paths...rest easy Mamtshali rest
easy Magalela omuhle

Who is chopping the onions? good God! I just met

her half way and gave her a tight hug, we walk back
down to our seat and it was time for us to see our
mother for the last time.

I walk in front with my sister behind me and I look

at her as she laid with her eyes closed, she looks like
she is in piece and I hope she is wherever she is.
I lean over and kiss her on the cheek, Mwandle
followed behind me and before I could turn around
she colups down on the floor but luckily Vezo was
quick enough to catch her before she could hit her
head on the floor.

I took a bottle of water and poured the water on my

hand then sprinkle it on her face, She opens her
eyes and Vezo helps her up.

Anesu: you are okay

I pulled her into a hug as she starts crying.

Mwandle: she can't be gone Anesu...she can't...

She cried and we sat down while I rub her back.

Everyone got into the cars which were hired to take
us to where we will be burying our mother. It
wasn't that far from home and I rode with my little
sister since she didn't want me to let her go.

We arrived and a few songs were sang, the casket

was lowered and we went to pour soul on top of
the casket.

Mwandle had to be taken to the care since she

fainted again and this was getting out of hand, this
is not normal. how can a person faint twice?
everyone left and I stood in front of my mother's
grave.

it started to rain and I stood still with my eyes

closed, once I had enough I turn around only to find
Nqoba's car waiting for me.

What did I say in my prayers that got me a caring

man like him, I walk closer to him and he pulls me
to his chest.
Nqoba: I wasn't going to leave you here

Anesu: thank you for staying

Nqoba: how are you feeling?

Anesu: I feel like a lot has been removed on my

shoulders

Nqoba: let me take you home

he opens the door for me and I got inside, he took

me home.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 48
NARRATIVE.

It is said that the bad decisions we make will always

come back to haunt us and that Karma is real which
is why you should be careful of the things you say or
do to others. Bonisiwe is the only wife and has been
showered with love by her darling husband
Msawenkosi. She has always been the trophy wife
and he has always been her night in shining armor.

She has always been the perfect wife who has a

perfect husband but it is said that the bliss doesn't
last that long. The bad decisions she made years
ago came to haunt her and became her worst
niggtmare causing the whole kingdom and the
people living under their ruling to suffer. After the
false death of her first daughter and heir to the
throne the ancestors were mad, nobody can fool
the ancestors even the greatest witches have tried
but failed.
Msawenkosi was really heartbroken and devistated
that he shut down completely when he heard that
he lost his daughter whom he was looking forward
to meet. Despite that he was heart broken he did
not want to lose his wife he loved dearly so he came
back to his senses and decided to try one more time
to produce another heir to the throne.

Even though the ancestors were still angry that the

first heir was not introduced to them, they gave and
blessed the King and Queen with a cute baby boy
who was named Sqalosethu Praise Zwide and after
only a few months of giving birth Msawenkosi went
back to his dark side, he went out drinking and
Bonisiwe being a woman thought he was cheating
on her again so she decided to trap him back in by
falling pregnant with another baby boy whom was
named Ayavuya blessing Zwide.
When Ayavuya was 4 years old and Sqalo being six
years old their mother Bonisiwe fell pregnant once
again with her last born which was a baby girl who
was named Zamazwide Precious Zwide.

The King lost interest in his dear wife and he started

being distant, he would go find pleasure
somewhere else and despite his little afairs he was
present in his children's lives. Bonisiwe was angry
that he was finding pleasure somewhere else and
when she tried begged him to stop and he just told
her that he was tired of her.

That's when Karma started to strike on her,

whenever Msawenkosi would return from work he
would only pay attention to his kids and not his
wife, it was like she no longer existed in his life. A
year later they started receiving complaints from
the villagers that water no longer came put from
their taps and that the river which they fetch water
from has completely dried out. The King was
shocked and concern at the same time because it
has never happened before so he decided to
consult the royal seer who just told him that the
ancestors were angry at him and his wife, not know
and not caring what he did he decided to not pay
attention and thought it would rain and the villagers
would get water but nope instead of the situation
getting better it became worse.

The crops which grew in a huge farm owned by the

King started to wilt and die, all his fourth thousand
cattles, seven thousand goats, eight hundred
sheeps and forty two thousand chickens died. he
consulted the royal seer he told him the very same
thing and that the ancestors were not being clear
on what should be done. The King was frustrated
and didn't know what he should do next because
the complains from the villagers grew day by day.

It's been 28 years without receiving a single droplet

of water from the sky,the clouds have been clear
and the only thing they experience is the burning
heat nothing more.

Bonisiswe woke up early in the morning and when

she looked to her right where her husband should
be sleeping, it was completely empty and it has
been empty for years now she has accepted and got
used to it.

She got off the bed and she wore her slippers, she
rang her bell which would notify the maids which
work downstairs that she has woken up.

Every morning she would wake up and have her cup

of tea while reading her favourite novel 'Romeo and
Juliet' and while she would sit like that the maids
would make her bed and prepare her bath.

Once she was done she goes to the bathroom and

has a bath, she walks out of the bathroom wearing
her robe and she would sit in front of her mirror as
she lotions her body.

She got dressed into her vintage chanel red dress

and she wore a pair of 1,2 inch of her favourite
heels from vintage collection, she applied her make
up and she looked good for a woman her age.

She walks down the stairs and she found her last
born daughter who is still at school but will be doing
her grade twelve next year, she is the only one who
stays with her mother and actually came for the
holidays. Sqalo is in England taking care of his
business and Ayavuya is enjoying himself only God
knows where.

Bonisiwe: Ntombi'Zamazwide

Zamazwide smiles widely and rolls her eyes.

Zama: I don't know what you were thinking when
you named me but I'm glad you did not name me
Ntombi'Zamazwide

Boniswe laughs a little and she sat down.

Bonisiwe: don't be to excited about it we can still

change your name

Zama: mma come on, I'm already embarrassed

enough that my name is mixed with my surname
and having it be where watching the beach calling
the register and thinking she called my surname
twice but nope...my name is connected to my
surname and my surname is also there out alone
Bonisiswe felt like laughing as her daughter explain
but she did not want to make her angrier so she just
smiled.

Bonisiwe: what are we having for breakfast?

Zama: I don't know ask the maids they cooked

Bonisiwe: I will just wait till the food is served...

Zamazwide shrugs and she got busy on her phone

as they wait for breakfast, while they were seated
there Msawenkosi walks in and you could not miss
the dark aura he had around him as he walked in.

Bonisiwe smiles as he kissed his daughter on the

cheek and passed Bonisiwe as if she was not at the
table.
Bonisiwe: Good morning my King

She got up from her seat and she stood in front of

him, he sighs boredly and held the bridge of his
nose before placing his hand on his left hip.

Musa: Bonisiswe I saw you sitting there when I

walked in and I made a decision to not great you as
I entered the door so don't force it down my throat
cause you know I won't be doing something I'm not
willing to do

Bonisiwe: does the King mind if I ask where he has

been sleeping for the past few weeks?

Musa: I do mind actually can you move out of my

way I need to head to the office
Bonisiwe: Msawenkosi I am your wife and you can't
be answering me like that

Musa: I'm also a man and a man isn't asked such

questions, why are you concerned about where I
sleep? I thought we got through this phase

Bonisiwe: we got through this phase?

She scoffs.

Bonisiwe: you are being unbelievable right now

Musa I am your wife and I'm concerned about
you...about us

Musa: THERE IS NO US...

he hissed stepping closer to her and looking into her

eyes.
Musa: you should stop worrying about me and start
worrying about the useless boy called my son who
goes around sticking his tiny penis in thousand of
woman in England and Good God if you care about
him you should pray he doesn't get chlamydia

He plans to walk past her but she tops him and

looks into his eyes.

Bonisiwe: I guess he took after his father...

She smirks and Msawenkosi clicks his tongue

pushed her out of the way and marched upstairs,
Bonisiwe turns around to find Zamazwide getting up
from her sit.

Zama: isn't there a day where you two will just stop
fighting and just...just love one a other?
Bonisiwe: Zama you should...you shouldn't have
seen that

Zama: yeah I should have how about you look for a

room next time before talking about my father
supposingly cheating on you...argh I just can't wait
for schools to open so I can go back to my boarding
school I have heard and seen enough

She picks her phone from her counter and she

marked upstairs to her room same way her father
did.

Bonisiwe just sighs and breakfast was ready, she

went to the dining table and saw the large breakfast
that was made and she sighs realising that she was
going to eat all of this alone since nobody will be
joining her.
Few minutes later she finished eating and
Msawenkosi walks down the stares looking sexy as
ever dressed in his suit, he looks young even though
he is not.

He could feel Bonisiwe's eyes on him but he did not

bother to look at her instead he walks out and
drove out in his car, Bonisiwe sighs deeply realising
that her life has been a complete mess.

ANESU MTSHALI.

I can't believe I'm about to experience my first new

year with the people I love even though I just buried
the one I love most yesterday but I need to loosen
up a little bit and have some fun. I know its going to
be hard to love on from this but in order for me to
love on I need to take it out of my mind and focus
on other things like enjoying myself as we enter the
new year.

I step out of the car after Nqoba opened the door

for me and reached out for my hand as I walk out, I
held on tight to my side bag and adjust my
sunglasses it's pretty hot in here. For your new year
Nqoba booked us at a huge beach house a few
kilometres from where we were, I didn't know that
there is a part of Eastern Cape that is this beautiful.

He kissed me on the cheek as he closed the door

and placed his hand on my waist, I look to my left
and Mwandle for out of the car with Vezo and trust
me they are not dating and they won't, Mwandle is
vulnerable and I don't think Vezo has worked with
the vulnerable time, he looks like he would break
her a d trust me I might be judging that he might be
the type the breaks heart but have you seen the
juicy musculine buff guys standing in front of me?
Nqoba looks like the type to break your heart,
delete tour number and pass you as if he never put
his dick inside you...I'm glad he can't hear my
thoughts.

I'm grateful though that Vezo was able to convince

Mwandle to come along, she really needs to relax.

We went to our separate rooms and I went with

Mwandle to her room so I can if she was
comfortable.

Mwandle: you know you don't have to follow me

around to check if I'm okay right? because I'm more
then okay

I grin and held her hand.

Anesu: I just worry for you I don't want you to be

here with us kanti you are not comfortable
Mwandle: I am comfortable trust me and I'm glad
Vezo was able to convince me to come along

Anesu: about Vezo...there's nothing going on

between the two of your right?

suddenly she makes a mean face trying to hide the

smile that appears on her face, she thinks I don't
see what be happening when these two are
together.

Anesu: come on now don't be smiling because I

don't want you getting hurt

Mwandle: nothing is happening and nothing will

ever happen between me and Vezokuhle we are
cool and he just...he gets me
Anesu: he gets you...

I squat my eyes looking at her.

Anesu: of course he does well I will leave you to it

there was a knock on the door and I went to get it,

Nqoba was standing on the door with his shades on.
He gave me this dirty little smile of his which looks
like a smirk but isn't...you get me right? anyways
why is he here? shouldn't he be in our room getting
dressed for whatever the plans he has with the
boys?

Anesu: what are you doing here?

Nqoba: I'm waiting for you

Anesu: so you where standing all this time while I
was talking with my sister

Nqoba: yes I was standing here but trust me my

brother will take good care of your sister

I took my eyes and he smiles widely taking off his

shades.

Anesu: you are so unbelievable

he looks at me from toe to head and he licks his lips,

I really shouldn't have worn this yellow sundress.
it's not that short it just reveals a lot of my thighs
and gets stuck in my ass when I walk because I'm no
panty but don't tell him that okay?
I turned around to face my sister and he slides his
hand under my dress, I was quick enough to stop
him by smacking his hand and smiled at my sister.

Anesu: I will see you in a few then

Mwandle: okay bye

I walk out and close the door, I gave Nqoba the 'you
are so unbelievable' look and walked to our room
while he followed me.

I open the door and it was locked.

Anesu: you are busy following me while you haven't

even unlocked the...

He pinned me against the door before I could even

finish the sentence and our lips came in contact, he
pulls me closer by the waist and I wrap my hands
around his neck standing on my toes as I deepen
the kiss sliding in my tongue, he gladly sucked it and
moved to my button lip and we both move in sync.

He pulls out from the kiss.

Nqoba: I have been wanting to take this dress off

you...

Anesu: uh-huh...

I said and pulled him back in for a kiss but this time
it wasn't just a kiss, it was filled with lots of lust as
his hands search for the keys in his pocket. He
finally found them and he opens the door, he grabs
my one butt cheek.
I pull out from the kiss and I turn around to walk
inside, he follows behind me and held me from
behind after closing the door and I giggle seeing our
luggages in front of the bed...so I guess he did
unlock the room after all.

Nqoba: you mind me asking why you are not

wearing any panties?

how did he know that I'm not wearing any panties?

Anesu: who told you I'm not wearing any panties?

Nqoba: why would your dress constantly get stuck

on her ass when you walk if you were wearing a
panty?

Anesu: what if I'm wearing a G-string?

Nqoba: you don't wear those I know

I'm flattered but no I won't give in.

Anesu: I am wearing it and if you don't believe me

then it's fine

Nqoba: let me feel then

Anesu: feel or see?

He doesn't say anything but slides his hand under

my dress and his finger rubs on my wet folds, I bite
my lower lip looking in his eyes.

Nqoba: is this the latest G-string or what?

I gasped for air as his starts rubbing my clit, he can't
be doing this I have a Spa date with the girls and I
can't be...I remove his hands before things got out
of hand and I slowly push him to the bed.

I got on top of him and I sat on his hard erection, he

groans and moved his hands to my ass.

I lean for a kiss and I pull out after only a few

seconds.

Anesu: I'm sorry but I need to get ready for my Spa

date with the girls

I got off him and went to my suitcase.

Nqoba: a spa date? I didn't know about that...

Anesu: you know now

I look for my bikini and I found it, I placed it on top
of the bed next to him and he lifts up my bra
looking at me.

Nqoba: you are going to a spa dressed in this?

Anesu: it's going to be easy to take off

Nqoba: easy to take what off?

Anesu: the bra silly can you untie the ribon for me

Nqoba: what...

I heard him curse under his breath and hissed as I

sat on top of his bulge waiting for him to untie the
ribon, I felt rise underneath me.
Nqoba: is untieing this ribon the only thing you
want me to do?

Anesu: yes please

He untied the ribon and he plants a wet kiss on my

back, I stood up in front of him and allowed the
dress to drop on the floor. His eyes darkened and
he looks at me as I wore the bikini and trust me I did
not mind the fact that he was looking at me but
with those eyes? girl my knees be getting weak.

Nqoba: damn if it wasn't for the respect I have for

your ancestors and mine I would have ate you up
long time ago and we would be making baby
number six right now
he is scaring me now kanti how much stamina does
he have? and how long can he go? does this mean
I'm in vigina is gonna be on fire once I have...hell no
and thank you dead people (ancestors)

Anesu: you are freaking me out, I should go

Nqoba: you gonna go out dressed like that?

Anesu: yeah why?

Nqoba: they going to be touching your body?

Anesu: kanti how they suppose to massage my body

if they not touching it?

Nqoba: a guy won't be doing it right?

Anesu: I don't know but I heard they do it better...

he stood up almost immediately from the bed and I

wasn't expecting him to stand up that fast.

Nqoba: lay down on the bed and I will give you a

massage because there is no way I'm letting
another men touch your body

I laughed really hard and he stood there looking

kissed.

Anesu: oh I love you

I peck him on the lips.

Anesu: but I'm going...enjoy yourself with the boy

okay?
Nqoba: yeah sure I will

Anesu: bye

I took my purse and he smacked my ass on my way

out, I met with Mwandle on the hallway and she
looked sexy in that bikini.

Mwandle: I was about to come get you because I

thought you know...you two were...

Anesu: I'm a virgin relax and let's go

Mwandle's jaw dropped and I walk to Ntethe's

room, she is suppose to be out by now and she is
still in there with Fiso.
I knock in the door.

Mwandle: so you are telling me you haven't slept

with him yet?

Anesu: yes I haven't...Ntethe!

I shout.

Fiso: she will be out in a minute

he shouts from inside and I roll my eyes.

Mwandle: you are not joking right?

Anesu: I'm not baby sis I was stuck in the water for
twenty years who was I suppose to have sex with?
the fish?
Mwandle burst into laughter and I banger harder in
the door till it opened, she walks out with Fiso
behind her.

Fiso: enjoy yourselves

Anesu: you already ate up our time by eating her up

now she will be all flushed because of you...

Fiso laughs closing the door and Ntethe gave me get

famous hug whereby she would squeeze the soul
out of my body.

Anesu: okay that is enough you smell like sex

Ntethe: and you girl? you smell like salt

I gasped and she laughs along with Mwandle, wait is
Mwandle a virgin?

Anesu: yeah yeah very funny Trevor Noahs

daughter

I roll my eyes and we went to the spa.

We enjoyed our Spa date and I got to do what the

call manicure and pedicure, we decided to go for a
swim at the beach since it was very hot and I don't
want to lie we had so much fun. We decided to
leave the beach and go to the pool since I started
feeling a little bit weird at the beach.

We arrived by the pool side and the guy were just

chilling there having some beer laughing a storm,
they all kept quite when we walked in and I noticed
the way Vezo and Nathi were looking at Mwandle.
I shook my head and went inside the water, the bun
I did on my hair seemed useless because it started
being messy so I untied the hair band letting my
huge afro go. I swam by the pool and I felt cold so I
got out of the water, I went to sit by the pool chair
and Nqoba's shades which I stole from him while he
wasn't paying attention.

I sat there my whole body exposed to the sun and I

shouldn't be sitting on the sun like this because my
skin condition is not sun friendly. Speaking of my
skin condition somebody opened the huge sun
umbrella and I was not in the shade, i open my eyes
on the find Nqoba.

Nqoba: can you at least pretend to care about your

health

Anesu: I was going to open the umbrella

Nqoba: of course you were

I'm kidding I wasn't.

He walks back to his brothers and Ntethe giggles

sitting next to me.

Ntethe: he really cares about you and it's cute

Anesu: yes it's cute

Ntethe: so when are you doing the deed?

Anesu: do you have to talk about sex huh?

Ntethe: of course we have to talk about sex

Anesu: we will do the deed once we are married

Ntethe: what?

Anesu: yes he has been saying that he won't touch

me until he makes me his wife and I respect that
plus I don't think I'm ready

Ntethe: after all the things you have been telling me

you be doing with that man? come on

Anesu: we do it for fun and trust me I'm not ready

for that heat...

Ntethe: so you the one whose always cumming in

this case?

Anesu: okay can we stop now? this sexual topic is

getting me uncomfortable
Ntethe: okay I'm sorry my munchkin

She squeezed my cheeks and i smack her hand, she

laughs and Mwandle joins us. We had a girls chat
while we had some alcohol of course and let me tell
you a little secrete i was feeling a little bit to where
on my second drink and it official my body can't
handle alcohol.

NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

It got late and we took the little party inside, we

were listening to chill music while eating some food
which was on the table and Anesu was just dancing
with a red cup in her hand. She seems bubbly when
she is drunk and her bubbly is a little bit to much
and it's suppose to annoy me but for some reason I
don't know it seems cute.

I decided to join her on the floor and she jumped

into my arms when she saw me.

Anesu: babyyy!

She kissed me all over the face and I smiled, I held

her by the chin and made her look me up in the
eyes a d she did. I gave her a kiss as the count down
started, I pull out and look at her eyes lighting up in
excitement

Anesu: are we about to enter the new year?

Nqoba: yes baby we are

"seven...six...five...four...three...two...one...HAPPY
NEW YEAR!"

everyone in the room shouts including her and the

fire works went off.

Anesu: happy New Year babe

She giggles.

Nqoba: I'm glad I got to enter a new year with the

person I love most...

Anesu: stop talking and just kiss me

I did not hesitate I kissed her and I really want to

have her really bad, my balls have been green for
far to long and they way she kept on teasing me
today just took me to the edge.
I might as well be struck by lighting.

She pulls out from the kiss and I groan, I was still
enjoying that why did she have to pull out?

Anesu: let's get out of here and I think I have had

enough alcohol for the day

Nqoba: say no more

We left the others in the living room area and we

went to our room, when we got there she starts
kissing me pulling me closer to her as she led us to
the bed. She slowly sat on the bed and pulled me by
the shirt, I got on top of her and she deepens the
kiss as it got heated and I pull out.

She moans.
Nqoba: Anesu what are you doing?

Anesu: I want you Nqoba...

I felt my dick twitching in my pants and she pulls me

for a kiss, I move back.

Nqoba: you are drunk and you are not in your

correct senses so let's just put you to sleep

Anesu: No!

She grabs me by my sweatpants and she slides her

hand inside the sweatpants, I watch her eyes widen
as she grabs what she was looking for.

Nqoba: is that what you are looking for?

She bites her lower lip and she just making things
worse.

Anesu: he is big and I can feel the veins...how will...

Nqoba: that enough reviewing for the day and you

need to sleep

Anesu: but I don't want to sleep...I want to have sex

with you

Nqoba: you don't want that to happen not today

I'm trying so hard to resist her but she's just...this

should be considered as rape. She starts crying as I
lay next to her and pull her to my chest, she is being
dramatic. She should enjoy this while it lasts
because I'm making her mine soon and when that
happens...a man who is good in doing the action
doesn't say much.

Nqoba: remind me not to give you alcohol

She snuggles closer to me and I could hear her low

breathing, unexpectedly she slides her hand into my
sweatpants and she held him.

I felt like exploding on her hand and I swallowed.

Nqoba: babe that's a no go zone now take your

hand out

Anesu: I want to hold him

Nqoba: hold him and do what? he is not a toy okay?

that is not a toy and I'm sure it doesn't feel like a
toy
She gave me a few strokes with her hand and I curl
my toes...okay that not a good sign.

I remove her hand and I climb off the bed, I let out a
heavy breathe and she looks at me as if I was going
crazy.

Nqoba: Anesu Zesuliwe Zwide...

Anesu: don't call me by that surname

Nqoba: I don't care woman see if you touch me one

more time I swear to God you will sleep alone, I
can't have you tempting me like this...do you want
to see me being struck by lighting huh? I don't want
to mess things up for myself so get your hormones
together and get that voice that keeps telling you to
grab my dick out of my head okay? are we clear
Anesu: we are clear now come back to bed

I swear I will be dead by now and I'm never taking

her to a party that has alcohol if she is going to be
acting like this.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 49
ANESU MTSHALI.

In the morning i woke up with a terrible headache

as if i got ran over by a train, i was laying on
Nqoba's chest and he seemed to be fast asleep with
his eyes closed and his whole body facing upwards.
Anesu: Fuck...

i cursed under my breath as the headache

worsened and Nqoba let's out a laugh opening his
eyes.

Anesu: can you stop laughing you making my

headache worse

Nqoba: I wasn't the one who told you to consume

that much alcohol

he continues laughing and i rolls my eyes getting off

the bed, i went to the bathroom and i turn on the
shower tap before I got naked.

i step inside the shower and closed my eyes as the

warm water poured on my body, i start
remembering the stuff i was doing and saying while
iwas drunk last night.

i cover my mouth with her hand embarrassed and i

laugh silently, as i was busy laughing and couldn't
hear the shower glass door opening and Nqoba
stepping inside the shower but I felt his presence.

He wraps his hands around my waist as he stood

behind me and whispered to my ear.

Nqoba: what are you laughing at?

i held my breath as i could feel his cold lips on my

neck.

Anesu: nothing I was just thinking...

Nqoba: you know you wouldn't be standing in this
shower if I had lost control last night...

Anesu: I don't know what you are talking about

Nqoba: you know exactly what I'm talking about,

you were being so freaky I was hard the whole night
and do you know how much that hurts?

i slightly shook my head and how does he think im

suppose to know? i wws drunk in alcohol qhich im
never drinking again because it gives me the
courage to do stuff i never knew i was capable of
doing.

He moves his hands to my breasts, his fingers grib

on my nipples and he pressed on them making me
to release a moan as i received this pleasurable
sensation.
Nqoba: that was complete torture and you can't be
doing that baby...

i turned to face him and the way he was so tall the

water was pouring on his head then down on me. I
looks into his eyes as he doesn't break the eye
contact, his eyes yearning for me and he slightly
opens his mouth and licks his buttom lip.

I could feel him rise and I swallowed, I'm going to be

dead the day we decide to do the deed I swear, this
man right here seems like he doesn't play games.

Anesu: like I said I don't know what you are talking

about can I shower in piece?

Nqoba: mmh
Nqoba chuckles and i turn my back on him as i start
washing my body, Nqoba just stood there watching
my body as the water poured. i stood under the
pouring water and my hair was soaked up, i turn
around facing him soaking my hair even more with
my finger tips running on my sculp and I watch as
his eyes scan my body. From my perky breast which
are filled and round at the top and buttom, down to
my almost flat tummy and down to my private area
and round curves, moving down to my thighs
making his bite his lower lip aggressively and I
swallow nothingness as uNzwakele down there
starts pointing at me all veins popping.

Nqoba: do you want to touch him or should I say

hold him?

he smirks and takes two steps closer to me while I

took a step back and before I knew it I was stuck
against the wall, he stood in front of me and
uNzwakele poked me on the stomach. He grabs me
by the neck and his hand move from my neck up to
my face, he grabs me by the jaw and made me looks
up at him as he pulls my face closer to meet his.

he kissed me hungrily and I went his tongue access

to my mouth as I pull out from the kiss, I removed
his hands from my jaw and looked into his eyes
which were dark and filled with lust and I'm sure he
has me pictured in countless positions as we speak
and if it wasn't for my V-card my legs would be
shaking and my walls would be stretching, my
whole body handing itself over to him to do me as
he pleases but yeah...I'm a virgin.

I place my hands on his chest and slowly moved

them not moving my eyes from his, one hand of
mine moves down to his belly and I could feel his
abs till I reached his V-line, I could feel his breathing
changing and Good God you could not miss the way
his eyes were getting darker as I slowly grab him
with my hand making his groan.
 My hand was small around him but that didn't stop
me from grabbing him and I placed his one hand on
the wall, he groans once more on my ear as he held
me by the wrist and slowly moved my hand on him.
His groans grew louder so did his breathing and his
whole body shaking slightly, does this pleasure him?
I didn't stop I wanted to see where this would end
and as I continued to move my hands in his I just
increased the phase and he punched the wall, I
jumped a little and he whispered to my ear.

Nqoba: Fuck don't stop!

he groans and I didn't stop as I was still at it, he

pulls me closer burying his face on my neck and he
breathes out heavily. He removes my hand from
him and he lifts my leg positioned uNzwakele on my
nana, he starts rubbing his tip on the outside and
start losing it, he does this for a few seconds and
then he shoots himself on me.
The next thing I had his sperms covering my
opening and my vigina wanting more of what it just
felt,he moves his face from my neck and he pecks
me on the lips.

Anesu: what did I just do?

Nqoba: you just gave me a hand job

Anesu: huh?

He smiles and kissed me on the forehead, I'm

clueless I gave him a hand job? that is what they call
it? being new in this sexual life is kind of
embarrassing because you have to ask questions.
Nqoba: what you were doing is called and hand job
and you my sweetpie just made me cum and I have
to say you are warm down there...

he bites his lower lip.

Anesu: argh you are naughty...

Nqoba: says someone who started all of this

Anesu: whatever can we shower in piece?

Nqoba: we can't...

Anesu: why can't we? what will stop

us...what...what are you doing?
he went down on his knees and he gave my thighs a
kiss, he looks up at me as my breathing starts to
change and he parts my legs, he lift my one leg and
placed it on his shoulder. His fingers on my coochie
and he parts my folds, he pressed his warm tongue
in my clit and I closed my eyes.

He starts eating me up and It was juices down

there, the more he ate me up the more the
pleasurable sensation down there became worse
and don't think I will be able to hold the feeling
back anymore. I moaned and I grab his head
positioning him properly to go deeper and as I was
enjoying and moaning he suddenly stops...

he got up from his knees and he was licking his

mouth, shouldn't he be licking me dry down there?

he looks at me.
Anesu: Nqoba what are you doing? you are not
done? right

Nqoba: I'm hungry and I need to eat

Anesu: eat me first and then you can go

he chuckles and he steps out of the shower, I watch

him dry his body and walk out to the main room
and all this time I had my mouth wide open.

Anesu: argh! why do I have to be dealing with this

man? he turned on the buttons and he leaves me
like that...

I paused and thought...he is doing payback for last

night.

Anesu: BUT I WAS DRUNK!

I shout at the top of my lungs hoping he could here
me and walk back in here, I start crying and I sat on
the tiles, the next thing I saw blood all over the tiles
and i cursed.

Anesu: why did I have to get on my periods now?

Fuck!

i cursed and got up from the floor.

after bathing I went out and I dried my body, I walk

out and I went to look for pads on my toiletry beg
and I didn't bring any.

I sigh and took my phone, I called Ntethe and she

told me she also didn't bring them.

I dialed Mwandle's number and Vezo answered.

Vezo: hello she is not here

Anesu: why are you answering my sister's phone?

I shout.

Vezo: why are you shouting?

Anesu: because a guy answered my sister's phone

instead of her and Great God it's still seven in the
morning

Vezo: just know nothing happened...i will tell her

you called

Anesu: just get her to come to my room it's an

emergency
Vezo: I will do just that

Anesu: and please of I find out you slept with my

little sister I will...

Vezo: Bye Makoti

he hung up and I look at the call furiously. I just

stood by the window not wanting to sit down
because I might mess up the towel.

the door opens and Mwandle walks in.

Mwandle: morning sister Vezo told me you were

looking for me

Anesu: what was he doing in your room?

Mwnadle sighs.

Mwandle: before you get on the defensive and over

protective sister mode let me clear this up, nothing
happened between me and Vezo he just...he slept
with me since I had troubles sleeping and trust me
he did not touch me

Anesu: but he slept with you...

Mwandle: okay yes he cuddled me but that is not

why I'm here, you said there was an emergency?

Anesu: did you perhaps bring any pads?

Mwandle: I did actually let me go bring them for

you
Anesu: make sure nobody sees

Mwandle laughs a little shaking her head walking

out and she came back with a closed back of pads,
she gave them to me and I got dressed.

I stole Nqoba's sweat pant and oversized t-shirt

from his suitcase, I wore my shoes along with some
socks and I went downstairs.

I found everyone in the living room and as always

my man was in the kitchen making breakfast, I
would be helping him but he decided to leave me
hanging and now I got my periods so there is no
way to make up for it.

His eyes widen when he noticed I was wearing his

cloths and I just didn't pay attention to him. I went
to join Ntethe on the couch and I cuddled closer to
her.
Ntethe: why are you all covered up in...

She sniffs my t-shirt.

Ntethe: your man's clothes...girl we are going

shopping and you can go dressed like this

Anesu: mother nature called and I had to answer

after that wicked man left me hanging in the
shower...

I look at him over Ntethes shoulder and he gave me

a smirk, he thinks he can smirk at me? wonderful

Ntethe: I'm sorry girl but we are going shopping

right? I also need to start the preparations of my
wedding...
I look at her ring and gave her a hug.

Anesu: oh you deserve this and he deserves you...in

fact you both deserve each other

Nqoba: breakfast is ready

he leans over to kiss my cheek but I quickly stood

up, he is not getting any of that and Ntethe giggles
following me.

Ntethe: what did that man do that got you worked

up like this?

Anesu: I tell you once we are out of here...

We giggled and sat down for breakfast, I avoided

him the whole time and he noticed. I clean up with
Mwandle and Vezo stayed to do the dishes with
her, I see his effort though...

as I walk out the kitchen I bumped into Nqoba.

Anesu: watch where you are going

I didn't get the chance to walk away because he

grabbed me by the arm pulling me to the nearest
room and he closed the door.

Anesu: Nqoba what is this...

Nqoba: No what was that you just did out there?

Anesu: what?
Nqoba: see baby I understand that you are mad at
me for leaving you like that but don't you ever talk
to me the way you just did out there

he says in a calm tone.

Anesu: whatever I need to go...

I pushed him to the side and he pinned me against

the wall.

Nqoba: you don't walk away while I'm talking to you

Anesu: haaa Ngeke!

I noticed the way he kept on clenching his jaw line.

Anesu: I'm sorry...

Nqoba: don't ever do that again and learn to talk to
me properly I'm not your friend, I'm your man and
you should respect me

Anesu: and you should respect my orgasm and give

them to me...

He laughs a little and he kissed my lips.

Nqoba: I was just teasing you

Anesu: I didn't like the tease

Nqoba: let me make it up to you

His hands move to my ass and I remove them

feeling uncomfortable.
Anesu: I need to go out for shopping

Nqoba: why did you stop me from touching you?

Anesu: I'm on my periods and I just felt a little bit

uncomfortable

Nqoba: ohh so thats why you wearing my clothes

I laugh a little.

Nqoba: you experiencing any pains?

Anesu: not yet...

Nqoba: don't ever be afraid to talk to me about
stuff like that I'm your man and I won't touch you
anywhere unless you want me to

Anesu: thank you now can I go?

Nqoba: take this

he took out his black card but I froze when I saw my

initials on it.

Nqoba: I got this made for you

Anesu: Nqoba you can't...I can't...

Nqoba: you are my woman and I will take care of

you, if I don't then who will? it's your own black
card with your own money
Anesu: how much is in here?

Nqoba: it's a black card just know that

Anesu: you are not answering my question

Nqoba: just a couple of millions

Anesu: how much Nqoba?

Nqoba: five...

he doesn't have to continue.

Anesu: I don't want it

Nqoba: why?

Anesu: I did not work for it which means I don't

deserve it, I can't be spending stuff I did not earn
Nqoba this is tour money and you worked for it...

Nqoba: baby aren't you mine?

Anesu: I am your but...

Nqoba: can you let me be your man okay?

Anesu: but it's a lot

Nqoba: it's just a little cash

Anesu: it's five million for crying out loud

Nqoba: relax and go have some fun, what is mine is
also yours so don't deny the gift

Anesu: okay thank you

Nqoba: just doing my job as your man and please

use it responsibly

Anesu: I will, Ngyakthanda Lushozi (clan name)

Nqoba: iyakuthanda nawe indoda mama (your man

also loves you)

We shared a long passionate kiss till I pulled out

because I could feel it that he wasn't going to pull
out. I left with Ntethe and Mwandle, we went to the
nearest mall and we did some shopping.
We were enjoying ourselves and I bought my little
sister every single thing she wanted, I told her not
to worry and I even transferred her some money
after receiving help from Ntethe. we were having
some much fun and it's a pitty the fun was ruined
by my phone ringing.

Anesu: let me answer this it's Nqoba

Ntethe: okay...

I answered my phone.

Anesu: Lushozi...

Nqoba: you need to come back to the beach house

now

Anesu: what's going on?

Nqoba: stop with the questions and just get here

he shouts.

Anesu: few hours ago you tallied about respect and

now you are shouting at me to come back without
giving me the correct reason to...

Nqoba: it's about my mother...are you happy? now

get your ass here because we are leaving

he hung up and I felt guilty for talking to him like

that but he should have given me a straight reason
instead of...argh!

Anesu: we need to head back

Mwandle: why what happened?

Anesu: I will explain to you on our way there

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 50
NARRATIVE.

The drive to the beach house wasn't that long, they

arrived and they found the key already waiting for
them inside. Nathi was seated having his glass of
whiskey and Anesu walks in with the girls with
shopping bags in their hands. She noticed Nqoba
standing in the living room as if he was talking and
he had a glass of whiskey in his hand.

Anesu: we are here is everything okay?

Nqoba: you should go pack your bags we are
already late...

Anesu: excuse me?

Nqoba: we should have left here ten minutes ago

but we had to wait for you because you couldn't
understand and simple order instead you kept
asking stupid questions...

he half shouts as temper went from mild to high

and Vezo placed his hand on his shoulder trying to
calm him down before he utters some words he will
regret.

Anesu placed her shopping bags on the floor.

Anesu: a simple order? *laughs a little* you order
me around now huh? Nqoba you talked to me
about the respect I should be giving you and I forgot
to mention the fact that I also need to be respected,
I'm not your whore nor your bitch which means I
won't have you treat me like one...I am your
girlfriend and you should learn a better way to
communicate with me and let alone talk to me, you
can't talk to me as if I'm...

She sighs and laughs a little

Anesu: let me keep quite before you put the blame

on me when something happens to your mother
because I made you late by talking about 'stupid
stuff' as you would call it...

She took her shopping bags from the floor and

Ntethe gave her a smile, Anesu went to her room
and the girls followed.
Once Anesu was out of sight Nqoba sighs deeply
and Nathi just laughs.

Vezo: Nathi you should stop laughing this us not

funny at all and wena Nqoba...

Nathi laughs even more.

Nathi: I'm just happy my brother finally got a

woman who can stand her ground and point out
every wrong thing he does so he can fix it...its safe
to say he got his match

he laughs getting off the couch and heading to pour

himself another glass.

Fiso: Nqoba why did you talk to Anesu like that? you
do know its not her fault that we are late? we did
not know that we would receive a call from the
hospital, it was all unexpected...she was in the right
place at the wrong time and you can't possibly be
angry at her for the speed it took the car to get here

Nqoba sighs.

Nqoba: I need a drink...

he went to pour himself a glass of whiskey and Fiso

took the glass from his hand.

Fiso: you don't need a drink

Vezo: you need to go up there and apologise

Nathi: I'm also no expert in relationships but bro,

you can't be preaching about things you don't do
and by things I mean respect...preach what you do
and do what you preach

Fiso looks at Nathi.

Fiso: I think you are ready for a relationship now

Nathi: hell no I'm not

he gulps down his drink and Fiso laughs at him.

Nqoba: can you at least let me have a drink and I

will go...

Vezo gave him the drink and as he gulps it down, he

was about to head upstairs when Anesu came down
with her luggage. She avoids eye contact with
Nqoba and Nqoba could see she was fighting her
tears.
Nqoba: let me help you with the luggage

Anesu: I'm not disable I can do it myself we should

leave...I don't want you to be late yet again because
of me

Nqoba: baby...

Anesu: can you move?

She looks up at him.

Nqoba: baby I'm sorry

Anesu: okay move then

Nathi laughs.
Nathi: he is fucked...

he shook his head.

Nqoba: baby?

Anesu: Nqobuthando can you just move?

ngyakucela (I'm begging you)

Nqoba moves aside and Anesu walks to the car, she

placed her luggage at the back of the boot and got
inside the car waiting for Nqoba. Ntethe and
Mwandle came down few seconds later, they got
inside the cars and they drove to the hospital.

[INSIDE NQOBA'S CAR]

The drive was filled with awkward silence and
Anesu was just busy on her phone, Nqoba's heart
couldn't stop racing as he drove. He did not know
what awaits him at the hospital and he is just
stressed, he doesn't want to lose his mother at the
same time he doesn't want to lose the woman he
loves because of his careless actions and the way he
talks to her forgetting that she is his woman and
she should be treated like one all day with no
excuses wrapped around it.

He turns on the music trying to relax a bit as his

palms couldn't stop sweating, Anesu turned her
head in order to look at Nqoba and he noticed how
he kept on pressing his hand into a fist trying to
stop it from shaking.

She closed her phone and she held his hand, he

looks at her for a moment.
Anesu: your mother is going to be okay don't stress
yourself

She kissed his hands and he starts relaxing as his

eyes focused back in the road, They arrive at the
hospital and they went to Ntongolozi's ward only to
find doctors in her room examining her and they
could not see her properly.

Nathi: doctor?

The doctor moves away and Ntongolozi was sitting

up straight a wide smile appeared on her face when
she saw her sons at the door.

Ntongolozi: my children...

Vezo: mama you are awake

Ntongolozi: No I'm dead

Nathi laughs and walks closer to his mother, he

attacked her with a tight hug and now you know
we're Nathi gets his personality from.

Nathi: I thought I was never going to see you again

Ntongolozi: this is the main reason as to why you

should start searching for a girlfriend

Nathi: you are my girlfriend

Ntongolozi: boy get off me before i slap some sense

into your dumb head

She scolds him and he kissed her on the cheek

before stepping away.
Ntongolozi: are you three going to stand there like
statues or you are going to give me a hug?

The boys didn't waste time they walked closer to

their mother and they had a group hug, Nathi
feeling left out even though he had the first hug
joined in on the group hug.

The all move away and Ntongolozi smiles looking at

Anesu.

Ntongolozi: we meet again...

Anesu: sawbona mma how are you feeling?

Ntongolozi: seeing that you two were able to take

care of my boys while I was gone I'm more then
okay
Anesu smiles widely looking at Nqoba.

Ntethe: it was a tough job but we managed

Ntongolozi laughs a little and Ntethe smiled.

Fiso: doctor can we take our mother home?

Doctor: not yet she has to spend a night here and

then she can be discharged the following day

Fiso: thank you Doctor

The doctor smiles and she walks out.

Ntongolozi: so tell me what did I miss?

Vezo: a lot actually but it's best that we don't tell
you because you will freak out

Ntongolozi: you want to hide things from me now

huh? wait Nontethelelo come here my love

She opens her arms reaching out for Ntethes hands

who first points at herself not believing that she was
asked to come forward as if she has done
something wrong.

Ntongolozi: is there any Nontethelelo in this room

either then yourself?

Ntethe walks to Ntongolozi and she held Ntethes

hands, she looks at the diamond ring on her finger
and Ntethe starts giggling.

Ntongolozi: he finally popped the question?

Ntethe: yes he did mma

Ntongolozi: I have always knew that he would and

I'm so glad he chose you, you are a very good girl
and I think my son's heart is safe with you...take
care of it okay?

Ntethe: yes mma I will

Ntongolozi: if he gives you any problems don't be

afraid to tell on him and I will gladly give him a
hiding

Ntethe laughs and then looks at Fiso.

Ntethe: I will give you a call mma don't worry

Ntongolozi: don't forget to make grandchildren for
me I almost died and I almost lost the chance of
seeing my son's marrying and having children's

Ntethe: I will give you plenty grandchildren mma I

promise

Ntongolozi: you two shouldn't rest at night okay? I

need to see these small ones running around

She laughs a little and noticed that Nqoba has been

quite ever since we got here.

Ntongolozi: Nqoba you haven't uttered a single

word since you got here, what is bothering you?

Nqoba: it's nothing mma I'm happy you are awake...

Ntongolozi: Nqoba I know you for speaking your
mind and right now you are holding something back
and I can feel it

Nqoba: mma it's just that a lot has happened while

you were gone...

Ntongolozi: a lot like what?

Nqoba: you just woke up and I don't want to stress

you so let's leave it be

Ntongolozi: Nqoba...

Nqoba closed his eyes and breathes.

Nqoba: when were you going to tell me that I'm not

that man whores child and that I'm not my brothers
brother but their half brother?
Ntongolozi gasped.

Ntongolozi: how did you...

Nqoba: can I have the room? I want to speak with

my mother

Vezo: I will take Makoti and Mwandle home

Nqoba nods approving of what Vezo just said and

he walks out with them, Nathi also walks out with
Fiso and Ntethe.

Nqoba breaths.

Ntongolozi: who told you such lies?

Ntongolozi: lies? *chuckles* you made me grow up
thinking that useless man was my father, you chose
to hide this secrete from me and you never thought
that maybe one day I would find out? do you know
how Fucking hard i had to work in order to make
that useless man I called my father to see me as a
son whose worthy of his love? do you know how
Fucking hard i had to....

Ntongolozi: boy you will not swear at me or else I

will get off this bed and give you a hard slap on your
face because I can see you forgetting who brought
you into this earth

Nqoba: you brought me into this earth and you lied

to me mma

Ntongolozi: I only did what I thought was best for

you that time
Nqoba: you really have to explain all of this mess to
me and don't leave out any details because I will
find out

Ntongolozi sighs.

Ntongolozi: this is such a warm welcome from you

son

She laughs a little hoping Nqoba would smile but he

did not move a single muscle on his face, he just sat
down on the couch and crossed his legs folds his
arms looking straight at his mother waiting for an
explanation.

Ntongolozi: back in the days a girls would be told

whom she had to marry and I was one of those girls,
I was the daughter of a chief at my village and I had
suiters left right and centre but I was not interested
in none of them till this one day...
(Ntongolozi was walking with her crew of friends
coming from school and they walked with their
combination full of laughter, as they continued to
wall each of her friends will reach their stop and
their circle of friends decreased. Ntongolozi was left
alone walking back home and she decided to pass
by the tuckshop and bought those ice blocks they
make in the villagers using those transparent plastic
and they called it isqeda because it would quench
your thirst the minute you start sucking on it.

On her way to the tuckshop she noticed a group of

guys sitting on the tuckshop and she suddenly felt
her heart racing when this dark lookong guys with
pink buttom lips turned his head while laughing and
his eyes locked with hers, Ntongolozi had am option
it could either she turns around or she goes to buy
the ice block she has been craving since break time.
She decides to go to the tuck shop and when she
stood on the rock so the person inside the tuck
shop could see her.

Ntongolozi: sawbona mma can I have two ice block

"alright that will be four rands," she came back with

two red ice pops and Ntongolozi giggles because
they are her favourite.

Ntongolozi: four rands haa? when did the price

increase I thought they were still one rand

The lady laughs.

"how much do you have?"

Ntongolozi: two rand...

She shrugs and the lady smiles.

"I will give you the other one only if you promise to
pay me back."

Ntongolozi: that's tiny water I will make sure to pay

you back mma

She gave her the ice blocks and she giggles in joy as
she starts sucking it. She steps down the rock she
was standing on and walks away but she is stopped
by the same dark chocolate she locked eyes with as
she was approaching the store.

"sawbona Ntokazi enhle," she looks at him from

head to toe

Ntongolozi: I'm not interested thank you

She moves past him and he grabs her by the arm.

"what are you not interested in because I was just

greeting you?" he says with a silly smile on his face

Ntongolozi: I know you are about to court me and

for your information my father is the chief he will
have you beaten up for even trying so my best
advice is don't...now let go of my arm

"can I accompany you home?"

Ntongolozi: did you not hear what I just said?

"I heard you my ears work perfectly so...?"

Ntongolozi: you are not going to take no for an
answer huh?

" my name is Lungisani."

Ntongolozi: Ntongolozi

"shall we?"

she just gave him a smile and she finally agreed that
he accompanies her home, they walked in silence
and she didn't mind the silence at all but she could
see that he kept on stealing glances at me.

Ntongolozi: are you going to steal looking at me or

you are going to say what's on your mind?

Lungisani: you want me to be honest?

Ntongolozi: please

Lungisani: I have never in my life came a cross a

beautiful woman like you and I'm not going to lie
when we locked eyes I felt something deep inside
me which I can't explain...

Ntongolozi: it's just a feeling and it will go away

he laughs at her statement.

Lungisani: are you for real?

Ntongolozi: trust me I am for real and I have had a

lot of boys lie with their smooth words and you
think I'm going to take to heart what you say
because...?
Lungisani: I'm just different from those boys
because a boy talks and does no action and I'm a
man who is big on action

Ntongolozi: you big on action huh?

Lungisani: yes I am...

Ntongolozi: if I could tell you to kiss me right would

you?

Lungisani: I wouldn't...

Ntongolozi frowns.

Lungisani: I was taught to act like a man and think

like one so no I won't kiss you but I will go to your
father ask for his permission to court you and when
he gives me the permission I will get to know
you...make you my woman, send my uncle's to your
family so I can officially make you mine in the right
way and you will be my queen...

he steps closer to her and she held her breath.

Lungisani: and then I will get to kiss you for the rest
of my life and make you the happiest woman on
this planet...

Ntongolozi: you are joking right?

Lungisani: angiwenzi amahlaya ntokazi (I don't

make jokes)

Ntongolozi: my home is right over there and I

suggest you leave me here and I walk on my own so
my father doesn't scold me
he chuckles.

Lungani: okay so when will I see you again?

Ntongolozi: I don't know...

Lungisani: when we meet again will you give me the

chance to get to know you better?

Ntongolozi: I don't know

She shrugs and he smirks.

Lungisani: I will see you soon then and wait...

he picks a flower from the grass and he tucks it on

her hair while she looks up at him admiring his dark
skin and lips...argh!
Lungisani: I will make you mine keep that in mind

Ntongolozi: we will see about that

She smirks and she walks away, he watches her

walk and he whistled looking at her body posture
from the back.

Lungisani: awu ngadla mina...awuu mama

lapho...ungowami wena

he shouts and she giggles running off)

Nqoba: this sounds like a bed time story and I'm

already feeling sleepy can you fast forward?
Ntongolozi: little patience just like him *smiles*
when he told me he would see me soon I couldn't
wait till the following day to see him so I can get to
see his handsome face and listen to him talk, I met
him the following day on my way back from school
he paid for the ice block I bought yesterday and the
one I bought that day, he took me to the river and
we sat there talking, we got to know each other and
we did this for months...and I enjoyed his company
and the next thing I was madly in love with him...

Nqoba: I guess he was big in action then

Ntongolozi: he went to ask for my father's

permission to date me and he agreed, he opened
up to me and told me he was a prince and his father
was going to step down as king soon meaning he
will soon be king and he wants me to be his first
wife...I did not know what to say since we just
started dating but I was madly in love with him and I
agreed...few weeks later he showed up at my door
step wounded badly and he told me that there were
people after him trying to kill him, I was scared for
my life and his so I plead my father that he stays for
the night and he agreed since he was fond of
Lungisani, he stayed up all night and told him how
his brother was fighting with him to take over the
throne

Nqoba: and that brother is Lungani right?

Ntongolozi nods.

Ntongolozi: things got worse and out of hand,

Lungani kept on sending people to attach him and I
saw that he was going to loose his life and when
you are in love sometimes you have to make
decisions in order to save the person whom you
love, I met up with Lungani talked to him and
begged him to stop attaching Lungisani, he told me
the on my way that was possible was if I agreed to
marry him and be his wife...

Nqoba: okay I have heard enough so this old punk

has been mad ever since? who does that? tell me
you did not marry him

Ntongolozi: I'm his wife till this day so the decision

made is quite obvious, I married him and when I say
Lungisani was mad at me I mean he was
[Link] thought separating me from
Lungisani would keep me away from him but it
didn't, on our wedding night I was not satisfied so
the following day I went to Lungisani, we talked
things through and we made love...we would steal
seeing one another and few months later I found
out I was pregnant with you...Lungani was happy
and Lungisani didn't know when he found out his
father already declared him as the future king and
he had to pick a wife...he picked his wife but they
never married because Lungisani left her at the
altar when he found out I was pregnant with
you...he wanted to fight with his brother and
Lungani wanted to fight him also when he found
out about the baby being his brothers... the fights
did not end and that's when Lungani decided to kill
his own brother, everyone knew that he was eaten
by animal but i knew that Lungani was the one who
killed him...his father begged me to stay with him
even though I knew the truth, he told me that the
only way this palace walls would stay standing was
if I stayed and became faithful to my husband...I
learned to love Lungani and he learned to love me,
we worked things out and...yeah that's the story on
how you got into the picture

Nqoba: you are mad...you learned to love a man

who killed the man you loved? he killed my father
his brother mma

Ntongolozi: don't call me mad I had to do what had

to be done in order to protect you, I wouldn't have
been able to live with myself if something had
happen to you

Nqoba: where is my father's grave?

Ntongolozi: Nqoba we don't have to talk about him

it's the past I love Lungani now and...

Nqoba: I can believe you are saying those

words...you are divorcing him

Ntongolozi: that's my decision to make not yours

Nqoba: he didn't deserve you mma and after

hearing all the crap he did to you and my father I
feel like blowing his brains off

Ntongolozi: Nqobuthando!
She warns and Nqoba breaths.

Nqoba: so all this time you two sold us a lie? you

never loved Lungani and he never loved you, he
married you to piss off his brother and get the
throne all to himself...and all these years I
thought...I thought he was my stupid father and
now I find out he killed my biological father

Ntethe: this is why I didn't want to tell you this look

at how you are acting...

He was now phasing up and down mumbling the

same words over and over again.

Nqoba: I will kill him...I will kill him...I will kill...

Ntongolozi: Nqobuthando you are not killing your
father

Nqoba: HE IS NOT MY FATHER!

he hissed.

Ntongolozi: that man is your father despite the bad

decisions he made in the last he is still your father,
he took care of you and he changed....he is a good
man now and he...

Nqoba: for crying out loud mother he cheated on

you with Mrs Ngubane...

he shouts and Ntongolozi's jaw dropped.

Ntongolozi: what!!?
Nqoba: yes I found him Fucking her in our family
living room mma and it turns out they have been
sleeping together for a while now

Ntongolozi: he...he wouldn't...

Nqoba: mma you need to forget about that man, he

is a monster and monsters don't change in fact they
feed on you till they leave you with nothing but dry
bones...he doesn't deserve you mma

Ntongolozi starts crying.

Ntongolozi: I guess this is payback then

Nqoba: pay back yokunuka! just say the word mma

and I will have him terminated
Ntongolozi: you are not a killer

Nqoba just chuckles and sat back down.

Nqoba: mma why are you protecting that man?

Ntongolozi: I made a promise to your grandfather

Nqoba: you would rather have him cheating on you

then leaving him, start your life afresh and find new
love

Ntongolozi: this is a royal marriage not a game,

once you are in there is no way out...

Nqoba: death is the way out and just let me kill him
mma
Ntongolozi: No I will sort him out

Nqoba sat back defeated, he would have finished

this a long time ago if she would just allow him to
do it.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 51
NARRATIVE.

Nqoba left her mother at the hospital and went

back home after he tried to beg her to kill Lungani,
she asked that she does not tell him that she woke
up from the hospital and Nqoba listened and said
nothing when he got home.
He arrives at the palace and went straight to his
house, he wanted to see Anesu real bad but he saw
how late it was and that it would be wrong if he
came to her place that late.

He took one relaxing hot shower and wore his

shorts, he got into his covers and as soon he was
under cover he slept.

The following morning he woke up really early and

he took a shower, he went out the house and went
to check on the cattle in their kraal, he walked
around the palace checking everything and once he
was done he went back to his house.

he took out his phone and called Nathi, he

answered on the second ring.

Nathi: bhuti? why are you calling this early in the

morning?
Nqoba: you no longer greet you just start talking...

he chuckles and Nathi yawns.

Nathi: kanti who called? aren't you the one whose

suppose to greet me? you are bullying the wrong
person and you know how thus combination will
end

Nqoba laughs a little and smiled.

Nqoba: if you are sleeping who do you think will go

fetch mother at the hospital?

Nathi: you are...

Nqoba: I won't be picking her up because I need to
do something real quick so you need to wake up
and go fetch her

Nathi: you are such a bully...you should have told

me yesterday

Nqoba: just get up and stop complaining because

it's not going to help

Nathi sucks his teeth and he hung up, Nqoba shook

his head placing his phone down.

He stood up from his seat and he decided to go

make breakfast at the palace, he bumped into Nathi
who was leaving and Nqoba looked at him from
head to toe.

Nqoba: ugezile koda? (did you even bath?)

Nathi: does it look like i did not bath?

Nqoba: I mean you do smell good but you dropped

the call few seconds ago and already you are done
bathing?

Nathi: yes I was that quick now stop with the

questions

Nqoba shook his head walking inside the palace, he

started having flesh backs when he found his father
fucking Mrs Ngubane and he clicks his tongue
heading to the kitchen. He saw unwashed pots and
plates in the kitchen sink, he fumed in anger and
shook his head feeling disgust by the sight.

Nqoba: all she knows is to open her legs...she's a

fridge she opens and closes her cold hole
he clicks his tongue and he opens the dish washer,
he placed the dirty dishes inside the dish washer.
Cleaned around the kitchen and then he started
making breakfast, he connected on his little apple
speaker and started playing Kendric Lamars album
titled GMX.

He made breakfast for everybody else and he

moved in the kitchen while singing each song that
played through the speaker, Fiso and Vezo came
downstairs.

Them: good morning

they said at the same time and they laughed at the

fact that they did, they sat down on the kitchen
high chair at the same time and they look at each
other
Vezo: stop doing everything I do

Fiso: we are twins bro and we can't control it so chill

Nqoba shook his head and laughed.

Fiso: it's been a while since we had you inside the

palace

Nqoba: I was just trying my level best to avoid

Lungani and Mrs Ngubane

Vezo: you are calling him by his name now huh?

Nqoba: he is not my father why should I call him

something isn't?

He looks at Vezo who shrugs.

Vezo: maybe you should respect him atleast

Nqoba: he lost the respect I had for him when I saw

him humping somebody else's wife so don't go
there Vezokuhle

Vezo: okay...

Fiso: he really fucked her huh?

Vezo: we saw it with both our eyes I will get you a

clip from the cameras in the house so you can see

Fiso: you think I want to watch my father Fucking

somebody else either then my mother?

Nqoba: so you would rather watch him...

he closed his eyes.

Nqoba: I'm not going to say what you both just said
because I respect my mother

Fiso laughs.

Fiso: you are a mama's boy

Nqoba: of course I am that woman loves me and of

course you will call me mama's boy because you
haven't seen yourself when you are around mom

Vezo: we should record him and let him see for

himself

Nqoba: and then we will see who is mama's boy

they laughed and Lungani came downstairs, he was
dressed in his suit and he looked really good as if he
was going somewhere.

he came to the kitchen and he smirks widely.

Lungani: good morning boys

he smacks Vezo and Fiso on their shoulder, they

greet back but Nqoba didn't utter a single GOOD
MORNING He just continued to make those
pancakes.

Lungani: it's been a while since I had breakfast with

all my son's

Nqoba: you know the reason why we stopped

coming
Lungani: okay son this is enough what do I have to
do so you can forgive me?

he placed his hand on Nqoba's shoulder who looks

at the hand on his shoulder then dead at his father's
eyes.

Nqoba: first you are stupid to think I will ever

forgive you, second don't you ever call me your son
because I'm not and I will never be,
Lastly...*pauses* get your filthy hands of a whore
off my shoulder

Lungani nods multiple times and he steps back,

Nqoba gladly continues making breakfast and asked
his brother to help him set up the table.

he took out his phone and texted Nathi.

"where are you?" Nqoba asked through text

"we just drove in relax, what are you trying to do?"

"trying to fix this mess," he sent and he sat down

with a smirk on his face

Qedani came downstairs and she looked good, she

was wearing one of Ntongolozi's dresses and his
son's look at each other as she walks to Lungani
packing him on the lips.

Nqoba's hands form a fist underneath the table and

his other hands holds on tight onto the gun he had
tucked in the front of his pants.

Qedani: good morning baby

Lungani: good morning my love

he smiles.

Qedani: good morning my boys

The table went quite and nobody answered her, in

fact they just stared at her stupid ass whose feeling
confident dressed in another woman's dress, living
another woman's life and sleeping with another
man's husband.

Lungani: did you hear her greet you?

Vezo: we did it's just that we don't want to greet

back

Lungani: boy you need to...

Nqoba: he needs to what?

he hissed sitting up straight almost immediately

pulling out his gun and placing it slowly on the
table.

Qedani: Lungani what is wrong with this son of

yours? he brings a gun to the table now? this is
unacceptable...

Nqoba: call me his son one more time and I will

have your brain scattered on his plate for him to eat

His said gnashing his teeth together and Vezo looks

at his brother who was on deadly mode and ready
to cause trouble with his hand on his gun.

Vezo: Nqoba...
he shook his head and Nqoba steps back, he
brushed his buttom lip with his thumb and sat back
trying to control his breathing.

Qedani walks to sit on the chair Ntongolozi should

be sitting on, she opens the chair and she was about
to sit down.

Fiso: that chair belongs to our mother so you better

not be sitting there

Qedani chuckles.

Vezo: you heard my brother...

Qedani: your mother is not here, she is in the

hospital and probably on her last gate to
heaven...she is not coming back
She smirks.

"who is not coming back?" Ntongolozi asked

walking in with Nathi on her side, the smirk Qedani
had on her face suddenly disappeared and Lungani
jaw dropped.

Qedani: you are...what are you...

Ntongolozi: what am I doing here? well I would like

to believe that this is my house and I'm the Queen
so don't ask me a ridiculous question

Lungani: Sthandwa sami you are back

Ntongolozi: you expected me to die huh? well sorry

to disappoint you, what is she doing in my house?
Lungani: She...she...

Ntongolozi: you are Fucking her right?

Lungani gasped and got up from his sit walking up

to his wife, he held her hands and she looks at him.

Lungani: Fucking her? baby I don't even see her in

that way...

Qedani felt a sting on the heart.

Ntongolozi: uyakuphika (he is denying you) what do

you have to say?

Qedani: Lungani how can you...

Ntongolozi: shut up I don't even care what you have
to say...wena Lungani I knew the day you kept on
pressing on the fact that my son should get married
to that useless daughter of hers who would do any
chores to even save her life...

Qedani: don't you dare call my daughter useless

Ntongolozi: wena shut up I didn't even give you the

permission to speak and already you are opening
your mouth the same way you opened your legs for
my husband...

Lungani: baby I did not cheat on you...

Ntongolozi felt her blood boil and in a split second

she gave him a hot slap across the face, he held his
cheek fuming.
Ntongolozi: I have always wanted to do that...

She smiles.

Lungani: did you just slap me?

Ntongolozi: I can do it all over again if you keep on

lying to me because I know you were shagging her
while I was in a death bed

Lungani: okay fine I slept with her and she gave it to

me real good, even better then you do and...

Ntongolozi: do you think I care? do I even look like i

care? I am your wife and that is known by the
ancestors, I am the reason why this palace still
exists, I'm the reason why we all in this house have
money in their banks because I worked day and
night building you...building you to be a better man
and even when you took away the person I loved
the most I continued to support you...look at you
now, you think you have everything just because
you got a taste of something, Qedani doesn't love
you, she loves the luxury life you keep flashing at
her and she knows if she has you she has everything
kanti vele kwawena you have nothing...if I were to
divorce you this instant you will be left with nothing
because that same business you call yours your very
own father signed it under my name before he
died...so in a quick short summary I don't care if you
cheat on me because you just proving how of a
useless man you are and I? I can combine all the
skills I have and be twice the man you are...

Lungani: but the business is mine...father wouldn't

do that? why would he give everything to you
whereas he did not know you?

Ntongolozi: I guess the old man also knew how

much of a Fuck up you are
Lungani: this can't be right it can't...

Ntongolozi laughs a little.

Ntongolozi: security!

She shouts and security walks in.

"your majesty."

Ntongolozi: have this woman removed from my

premises

Qedani: you can't remove me...you can't...Lungani

say something
The man was still trying to digest the fact that all
this time he had nothing.

Ntongolozi: you can keep the dress it's worth a

fortune and I'm sure it will take care of your for a
fee months

She smiles.

Qedani: Lungani!

She shouts.

Ntongolozi: if she fights drag her out

Qedani: Lungani you can't let her do this...baby we

are...i love you...
She shouts as she was being dragged out like the
trash she is, Lungani took a sit down and the room
filed with silence.

Lungani: you motherfucker...

He was about to strangle Ntongolozi when all her

sons pulls out their guns and point them at him, he
steps back with his hands in the air.

Nqoba: I have been wanting to pull this trigger for a

long time

he cocks his and Lungani starts pissing his pants,

Ntongolozi stood there with a wide smile on her
face realising that she did not just raise gentleman,
she raided gangsters.
Ntongolozi: you thought you won huh? you are who
you are because of me...you thought I was going to
allow you to keep on pointing me around like you
did in the past? this is my revenge for killing the
love of my life...

Lungani: please baby...don't do this we can sit down

and talk, you know how much I love your right?

Ntongolozi: I have had enough of your crap...Nqoba

you have my word

She steps back and Nqoba walks closer, he had a

wide smile on his face as he points the gun on
Lungani's forehead.

Nqoba: this is for my father

he was about to pull the trigger when Mbhemu
walks in.

Mbhemu: stop!

he came in running and he stood in front of Nqoba.

Mbhemu: Nqoba don't pull the trigger the ancestors

will deal with him...

Nqoba: your bloody ancestors are slow...he killed

my father and he...

Mbhemu: you are heir to the throne and do you

think killing Lungani would make you any better
person then he is? he also killed his brother and
look at him right now, he doesn't have anything and
it it's fine if you feel like your ancestors are slow but
they do get the job done on the right time...
Nqoba: I don't care I want him dead and he will die,
I don't give a Fuck about the throne because I don't
want it...

he shouts with his vision blinded by the tears that

were in his eyes.

Mbhemu: Nqoba you need to calm down and...

Nqoba clicks his tongue and he walks out, he went

to his house and he locked himself in there and
began to smash everything that was made out of
glass. Once he felt that he has done enough, he sat
down drinking his whisky while looking at the mess
he just made.

He had his whole childhood taken away from him

by the man he called his father who wouldn't stop
training him to sit on that throne, he never wanted
to sit on that throne he just wanted to experience
some fatherly love from him.

he cursed when he felt some aching pain on his

hand, he did not realise that his hand was bleeding.

Nqoba: shit!

he stood up from the couch and went to rinse his

hand in the bathroom, he wraps a bandage around
his hand and he walks out the bathroom.

ha laid down on his bed till he fell asleep and he

woke up around half past six in the afternoon, he
was woken up by a call from Nathi and he declined
the call but he called again.
 Nqoba: what do you want Nathi? can't you see it's
late and can't you see that I'm not in the mood to
talk to anybody

Nathi: I know but you know how I feel when you are
not okay, you are my brother and I care about you
so let's go have a drink and talk

Nqoba: I think I want to be alone

Nathi: so you can smash that house to the ground?

hell no I'm outside the door and I'm already dressed
so get your ass out here...

Nqoba: fine give me a few seconds to get dressed

Nathi: oh I love you so much brother

Nqoba: I'm going to change my mind if you continue
to act gay

Nathi: just come out here

he hung up and Nqoba went to get dressed, he

wore all black and walks out on my to find Nathi
standing there.

Nathi: you took long enough

Nqoba: where is Vezo and Fiso?

Nathi: they went to see Mwandle and Ntethe

Nqoba nods and they walks to his car, Nathi offered

to drive and Nqoba did not mind. He drove to the
nearest Tavern, not the one filled with drunkards
that come once a week to eat their R350, this
Tarven was demure like and looked more luxurious.

They walks inside as a lot of woman flesh them

smile and they went to sit down on a vip area, they
ordered some whiskey and Nqoba gulps down the
first glass that arrived in one go.

Nathi: hey slow down, you don't want to get drunk

to early

Nqoba: you brought me here to loosen up so let me

loosen up and let go of my strees

Nathi shrugs.

Nathi: okay sure

They spent the whole night drinking and talking,
Nathi kept on comforting Nqoba about the incident
that happened at the palace and about his father.

Nathi: I know as a big brother you go through a lot

in order to make us happy and protect us, I just
want you to know that you matter to us and that
we love you

Nqoba: save those words for my funeral I'm not

dying

He gulps down his glass and he noticed a familiar

face on the crowd, the light skinned girl waves at
him with a wide smile.

Nathi: do you know that chick?

Nqoba: don't ask me stupid questions I don't know
her and let me go find out why she was waving at
me

he stood up fixing his pants.

Nathi: No you are lying you know that chick

Nqoba: even if I knew her I wouldn't tell you

Nathi: you are you going to hit that huh?

Nqoba shrugs.

Nathi: wait you have been hitting that? what will

And I say when she finds out?
Nqoba: she almost killed me the last time and
honestly I don't want to hurt her but I am a man, I
have need and my needs need to be taken cared of

He rubs his hard self.

Nathi: No I won't have you do Anesu like that she

loves you...

Nqoba: okay I won't smash her I will just talk to her

Nathi: I'm warning you this won't end well

Nqoba: what won't end well is me masturbating

every night picturing her naked and can't have all of
that because of some stupid ancestors

Nathi: argh! you shouldn't have told me that

Nqoba: don't leave without me

he took a shot and he walks up to the girl, she was

seated at the bar and she giggles looking at Nqoba.

Her: Hey you...it's been a while

Nqoba: it sure has been

Her: never thought I would see you again after you

scolded me about your wife seeing my lipstick on
your shirt

Nqoba: well you shouldn't have done that you know

Her: it was an honest mistake

Nqoba: don't let it happen again

Her: don't say that...I want you to punish me

She held held his hand and slowly slides it inside her
dress, she wasn't wearing any panties and Nqoba
became hard instantly.

Her: I'm already ready for you...punish me all you

want

Nqoba: with pleasure!

She giggles and got up from her sit, They walk away
and Nathi sat there shaking his head but stood
when his eyes got glued to this somebody who was
dancing and having the group of drunkards circling
around her as she danced to the bacardi song.
Meanwhile, Nqoba pushed the woman inside the
toilet and he locked the toilet door turning her
around and lifting up her dress, he had her bend
over and he unbuckles his pants taking uNzwakele
out who was hard and ready to enter the woman,
she moan as he starts rubbing his tip in her wet
folds.

Nqoba: Fuck

he cursed entering her.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 52
MWANDLE MSWELI.
It's half past six in the morning and she just received
an unexpected text from Vezo, he was asking to
take her out on a date if she doesn't mind. She
stood in the middle of the kitchen with a cup of hot
creamy coffee in her hand and she kept blowing
some wind trying to warm it up so she can have a
sip.

Her phone on top of the counter in front of her and

the screen glowing with the text from Vezo
displayed on the screen, She was deep in her
thoughts not even knowing if she should answer the
text.

She took a sip on her coffee, it's been a while since

she has been around a guy and she is not sure
about going.

Anesu walks out of her mother's room since she has

been sleeping there because she feels closer to her
when she is in her room, when she walks out she
spots Mwandle standing in the kitchen like a statue
staring at the phone in front of her.

Anesu: Good morning...

She says walking go the sink to pour herself a glass

of water and the only thing Mwandle uttered was...

Mwandle: mmh

She wasn't even paying attention at Anesu who

noticed after drinking the glass of water, she placed
her hand on her hip and looks at Mwandle.

Anesu: hello? Mwandle?

She snaps her fingers in front of her face and

Mwandle snaps her eyes shut for a second, she
opens them a second later and she looks at Anesu
with a confused look on her face.

Anesu: ngiyakubingelela

Mwandle: I heard

Anesu: are you okay?

Mwandle: I'm okay why are you asking?

Anesu: you seem off and you have been staring at

your phone for a while now, what is bothering you?

Mwandle: I need to ask you something

Anesu: okay I'm listening

Mwandle: how did you respond when Bhut'Nqoba
asked to take you out on a date?

Anesu laughs a little remembering the time they

spent at the waterfall.

Anesu: i just allowed him to take me there, it was a

surprise actually but still...I don't remember how I
responded anyways why are you asking me such
questions?

Mwandle: I'm asking you because I don't know what

to do

Anesu: about what?

Mwandle: Vezo just texted me asking to take me

out
Anesu: what did you say?

Mwandle: I haven't answered him

Anesu: why haven't you answered?

Mwandle: because I don't know how I should

answer

Anesu sighs.

Anesu: do you like him?

Mwandle: of course not, I don't like him...

She frowns and Anesu laughs a little, she stood in

front of Mwandle with a wide smile on her face.
Anesu: Mwandle...

Mwandle: yes sister?

Anesu: I'm not asking you as a big sister but I'm

asking you as your friend...I'm not going to scold nor
beat you up just because you told me you like a
man it's okay those are feelings you are suppose to
feel as a girl now I'm going to ask again...

She smiles.

Anesu: do you like him?

Mwandle: I don't know if I like him

Anesu: do you get butterflies when you see him?

Mwandle: I don't actually I just...I feel safe around
him and he makes me smile

Anesu: that's what I needed to hear all along, you

like him and it's okay because I think he also likes
you

Mwandle: argh! I don't know

She placed the cup down on the counter and he

palms start sweating with her heart racing, she
suede my felt really nervous.

Anesu: answer the poor guy it's not good to ignore

someone you know

Mwandle: okay I'm going to answer him...

She picks up her phone from the counter and she
texts him back.

"I would love to go out with you," the text said and
Vezo immidielty started typing

Vezo: "I will pick you up at eight?"

"okay cool see you then."

She placed her phone down and looks at Anesu who

was started preparing breakfast, she still burns a
few things but she is taking it step by step.

Anesu: don't look at me like that, what did he say?

Mwandle: he will pick me up at eight

Anesu: that's enough time for you to pick an outfit

Mwandle: oh my God I'm so nervous what if she

didn't show up?

Anesu: the more you speak negative things the

possibility of it happening becomes high, if you
think he won't show up then he won't

Mwnadle stomach became a knot as she started

imagining the way she would feel if he doesn't show
up

Ntethe: if who didn't show up?

She asked walking out of Mwandle's room with her

hair all messed up, she came to the kitchen.

Anesu: you love news Nontethelelo

Ntethe: come on don't be like that it's not like you
won't have the curiosity of wanting to know after
you heard your best girls talking about a...

She air quotes.

Ntethe: a HE who might not make it...I'm sure you

would be curious to know who they talking about
right?

Mwandle: you just making an unnecessary excuse

to save yourself from the fact that uthanda
uzindaba(you love gossip)

Ntethe: okay come on tell me, what were you two

talking about?
Mwandle: Vezokuhle asked to take me out and he
will be here at eight

Ntethe: the same Vezokuhle you woke up next to

on a new year?

Mwandle rolls her eyes to the back of her head and

folds her arms.

Mwandle: I thought I made myself clear that

nothing happened

Ntethe: well you weren't clear enough, when was

the last time you shaved?

Anesu gasped covering her mouth.

Anesu: Ntethe that's inappropriate now

Ntethe: she's going on a date with a man and you
and I both know that anything can happen while
she's out there with him

Anesu: she's not like you...

Ntethe: what do you mean she's not like me

Anesu: you are naughty and she's not

Ntethe: let the girl speak for herself...

She smiles widely and Mwandle just giggles.

Ntethe: are you still a virgin?

Mwandle's giggling disappears into thin air when
Ntethe asked the question.

Mwandle: we need to start eating...Anesu when are

you finishing with the breakfast?

Ntethe: avoiding the question...I see

She smiles widely and Mwandle gave in.

Mwandle: a girl doesn't kiss and tell it's my secrete

which I won't be telling anyone even my sister

Anesu: she's right it's her privacy and we should not

nag her about it, if she wants us to know she will let
us know

Mwandle: thank you sister

Ntethe: okay you two lovely souls win

Anesu: grateful to that

Ntethe: so it's official we belong to the Dube

brothers

Mwandle: I don't belong to anybody

Anesu: neither do i

Ntethe rolls her eyes.

Ntethe: you two are so alike let me rectify the

mistake I made, the three of us will becomes the
Dube brides
Anesu: says someone who already has a ring on her
finger

Mwandle: Iets not get ahead of ourselves

Ntethe: trust me your rings are on the way...aya

load.a

She laughs and the two sisters roll their eyes, Anesu
continued to make breakfast and they sat down
eating.

Anesu: so when are you going to start with the

wedding plans?

Ntethe: I think we will talk about that once we leave

for the city tomorrow and once we have our lives
on track we can start discussing the wedding plans
Mwandle: you are leaving tomorrow?

Anesu: of course we are not leaving tomorrow

Ntethe what are you talking about?

Ntethe: didn't Nqoba tell you we need to fly back

tomorrow?

Anesu: haven't talked to him since the ride to the

hospital to meet his mother, I tried calling him last
night but he did not answer

Mwandle: so you are leaving tomorrow

Anesu: I wasn't informed of anything, I will talk to

Nqoba

Ntethe: let's say we do leave are you going to stay

here?
Mwandle looks around the room realising that
there is nothing left for her to stay here for, she has
spent years denying herself opportunities of having
fun because she had to take care of her mother
who was sick and right now with her being gone
there's nothing left for her to stay for.

Mwandle: I mean the only reason I stayed here was

because of mom and with her gone I don't think
staying here alone is a good idea

Anesu: I also don't want to leave you behind

Ntethe: how about you two get a three room

apartment to stay in it

Anesu: why should it be a three room?

Ntethe: so I can have a room when I visit?

Mwandle: who's said we would want you to visit?

Ntethe laughs.

Ntethe: nobody has to say it cause it's known, ain't

no Big three without Nontethelelo

Anesu laughs.

Anesu: you already gave us a name huh?

Ntethe: we can change it along the way though but

we are sister's for life whether you like it or not

Mwandle: stop forcing it down our throats

Ntethe: oh no you need one of my hugs maybe they
will change that mind of yours

She got up from the kitchen high chair and started

chasing Mwandle around for a hug, Anesu just
shook her head and took a sip on her drink.

Ntethe: I will catch you

She shouts and Mwandle exits through the door.

Mwandle: no you won't

Ntethe: oh you don't know me wena, Come here

Mwandle! come get this hug

She chased her around the yard till she caught her,
the both fell on the ground and Ntethe got on top
of Mwandle, she pulled her into his arms and gave
her a tight squeeze hug kissing her all over the face.

Anesu stood by the door step and laughed at the

way Mwandle was trying escape Ntethe's hug.

Mwandle: sister don't just stand there come help

me, I can't breath

Anesu: oh trust me I know

Ntethe: tell me you love me

Mwandle: why do you have to be so violent? how

am I suppose to talk properly while you have your
hands wrapped around me like that...

Ntethe: okay say it

She loosens the grub and they were both covered in
mud.

Mwandle: I love you

Ntethe: louder!

Mwandle: hhayi Ntethe Ngyakthanda!

She shouts and Ntethe kissed her on the cheek.

Ntethe: that's more like it...don't just stand there

come help us up

Anesu: did I tell y'all to chase each other like little

babies?
Mwandle: don't be a mood spoiler

Anesu rolls her eyes and she placed the mug on the
floor, she walks to Ntethe and Mwandle who were
on the floor. She reaches her hand out for Ntethe
who gave her a mischievous smile and Anesu shook
her head knowing what she will do next.

Anesu: don't do it Ntethe I will kill you

Ntethe: I know you love me and you won't

Anesu: Nontethelelo...

Ntethe pulls her into the mug and Anesu wipes the
mud from her face, she finishes the sentence.

Anesu: don't you dare

She says in a low tone and she looks at Ntethe who
was laughing, Mwandle joined in and Anesu ended
up laughing.

Ntethe: I'm so glad I met you guys

Mwandle: can we stay like this for a few more

minutes

Anesu: did you see the time? your date is about to

arrive and you smell like mud

Mwandle quickly got up from the mud and the

speed she got up in was quite fast so she lands on
the mud once more this time on her butt.

She cries.
Mwandle: Ntethe this is all your fault

Ntethe: haaa!

Anesu: stop crying and let's get you up

they helped each other get up from the mud and

they head inside, They decided to make Ntethe
clean up the muddy footsteps that were all over the
house when they walked in.

They all bathed and Mwandle had to bath twice in

order to remove the unpleasant smell of mud from
her body, once she was done she started getting
dressed and when she went to her wardrobe her
eyes were caught by this elegant red slit dress. She
took it out from the wardrobe and she wore it, she
looks at herself in the mirror and the dress fits her
like a glove, it hugged her in the right places
exposing her well built body structure from small
sized titties to a round ass that's a size of her body,
it won't say it's big or small just know that it's the
size of her body.

The dress was above her knees in length and it

exposed her beautiful legs, she has those
"unyathela ngabantwana" kinda legs and they look
good on her. She wore her black heel and Ntethe
did her hair, once she was done she looked like a
Goddess.

Ntethe: that man is going to drop on her knees

today and ask you to be his, Girl you look Gorgeous

Mwandle: thank you

Anesu: you making me want to cry

Ntethe: ayyy Anesu stop! why do you always have
to cry?

Anesu: I'm just feeling emotional seeing her like

this, umuhle ngane kaMama

Mwandle: thank you sis

there was a knock on door and Mwandle starts

shaking.

Mwandle: I think this was a bad idea

Ntethe: I'm opening the door

Anesu: Ntethe give her a chance to breath first,

breath Mwandle
She closed her eyes and starts breathing, once
Ntethe saw that she was okay and once she gave
her a nod to open the door, she did just that with
no questions asked.

The door opens and Vezo's jaw dropped as he stood

stood at the door his eyes met with hers, she
giggles looking down with an unerasable smile on
her face.

He was dressed in a white shirt which it's buttons

are all buttoned up except for those buttons at the
top exposing his neck and a small part of his chest.
he had on black trousers and the fresh hair cut
making his skin glow really good, you could smell his
cologne from afar.

He had a bouquet of white rose in his hand, a gift

beg and a teddy bear.
Vezo: I'm sorry but I have to greet my lady first,
sawbona mama

Ntethe and Anesu giggling standing at the door as

they slap each others hands in the most discrete
unnoticeable way, not making a single sound.

Mwandle: hey

Vezo: looking at your beauty just took my breath

away, you look stunningly gorgeous

Mwandle: you look handsome yourself

She let's out a giggle.

Vezo: I brought you these

She steps closer and she took the gifts from his
hand, Anesu helps her with the gifts.

Ntethe: we will eat the chocolate for you

Anesu hits Ntethe on her arm with the back of her

elbow and she rubs her arm.

Ntethe: ouch?

Anesu: I will keep them safe for you

Mwandle: thank you

Vezo: niyaphila bafazi bobafo?

Ntethe: we are good guy to and yourself?

Vezo: since I finally was able to convince her to go
out with me, I'm perfectly fine and I'm in q happy
spirit

Anesu: take care of my sister and bring her in one

piece

Vezo smirks.

Vezo: I will try my very best to bring her in one

piece, are you ready?

Mwandle: oh my purse

She walks to her room to get her purse and Vezo

watches her walk, he smiles looking at her sexy legs.

Anesu: yeah smile all you want cause if you make

our sister cry?
Ntethe: we will sort you out

Anesu: sorting you out involves cutting your balls

Vezo laughs a little.

Vezo: I can assure you she is in safe hands

Anesu: mmh...

She mumbles and Mwandle arrives at the door.

Mwandle: they did not threaten you right?

Vezo: they did not say anything

Mwandle: I will see you guys when I return

Ntethe: we will be wait for the tea

Mwandle just laughs walking out and the two girls

stood by the window watching him open the front
door for her and helping her inside, they cheered
for her while they were inside the house but their
screams were loud enough for Mwandle to hear.

Vezo showed them a middle finger before walking

to the other side, he got inside and starts the car.
He drove to this restaurant which he had booked
for Mwandle and himself, he arrives and be parks
his car outside.

He walks out and helps Mwandle out of the car, she

thanks him and they walk to the restaurant. they
were welcomed by a waiter who stood by the door
and went with them to direct them to their table.
Mwandle: why is it empty?

Vezo: I had it booked for us

Mwandle: you did it for me?

Vezo: yes I did I would do anything to make you feel

how special you are to me

Mwandle: thank you...

She gave him a hug with her arms wrapped around

his neck, he pulled her closer and took a rather wild
sniff on her feminine perfume which he liked.

Vezo: you smell good

Mwandle: thank you

She pulls out of the hug with a smile on her face

and he pulls a chair put for her, she sat down and
he went to take a sit right opposite her.

Vezo saw how nervous Mwandle was.

Vezo: relax you are safe with me and we are going

to have a good time, I can assure you that

Mwandle: it's just that it's been a while since I have

gone out like this and on top of it all they have
never done anything special like this before

Vezo: let's forget about those who weren't able to

make the night special for you and let's focus on us
okay? it's you and I
Mwandle: I'm sorry I didn't meant to...

Vezo: no need to apologise I like my woman

expressive and it's okay to express yourself

Mwandle smiles.

Vezo: shall we order

Mwandle: let's have a good look on the menu first

Vezo: anything you want

They look at the menu together.

Mwandle: I'm sorry everything in here looks

expensive and I can't seem to find...
Vezo: order anything you want, I'm the man here
and I will pay

Mwandle: if you say so...

She shrugs and continues to look at the menu.

Vezo: I'm ready to order

Mwandle: so am I

She giggles and Vezo gave her a smile, he raised his

hand signaling the waiter that they are ready to
make their order.

"what would you guys like to have?"

Vezo: I will like one of your best steak, thick and
medium rare with a little touch wine to add some
flavour

"I get you sir and to drink?"

Vezo: a glass of whiskey your choice but make it a

best one

"yes sir and you ma'am?"

Mwandle: can I have honey and garlic glazed

salmon, chicken wings with creamy cheese source
and to drink I would would your best red wine
please

"coming right up."

The water left and Vezo smiles.

Mwandle: why are you looking at me like that?

Vezo: you are just beautiful and I can't get enough

of your beauty

Mwandle rolls her eyes and smiles.

Mwandle: how did you sleep?

Vezo: I slept wonderfully even though it's not the

same as the new years sleep I had with you

Mwandle: you are smooth I see

She laughs and smiles.

Vezo: I'm just saying sleeping without you next to
me feels like torture and I'm sure you feel the same

Mwandle: sorry but I don't

Vezo: argh! fare enough then, I think I got to ahead

of myself

Mwandle: you did

She nods multiple times with a grin on her face and

Vezo just laughs.

Vezo: this is why I enjoy being around you.

Mwandle: why do you enjoy being around me?

Vezo: you make me laugh and smile, you even make
me forget that I have tons of problems in my life

Mwandle: forgetting your problems isn't a food

thing, you need to get them fixed so you don't get
bothered but it's good to know that I'm one of
those that make you smile and laugh

Vezo: one of those?

Mwandle: yes there are many girls you have...

Vezo: trust me you are the only one that has been
able to make me laugh and smile this way

Mwandle: that is kinda hard to believe

The waiter came to pour drinks for them.

Mwandle: so tell me more about your childhood

Vezo: my childhood was...I won't say both by

because it did have those moments which were
good and apart from those moments my childhood
was just dull

Mwandle: but you had both your parents why

would your childhood be dull?

Vezo: you do not know how it feels to be royalty,

sometimes I wish I could just wake up and I'm not
part of the blue blood gang

Mwandle: you make it sound like torture, you all

have everything
Vezo: yes we do but sometimes it's not nice to have
everything which is why my brothers and I decided
to move to the city, we started working hard
because we really did not who having things being
given to us without having to work hard, we felt the
need to work hard because hard work builds a
person...

Mwandle: you are right hard work does build you

Vezo: what about yourself?

Mwandle: my childhood is actually filled with lots of

sadness, my father died when I was young which
means I only had my mother to take care of me, I
lost my big sister at a young age and I had to grow
up with my mother being constantly sick from God
knows what...I had to work twice as hard then other
students and despite all that I couldn't make it,
instead I worked at a garage as a cashier and here i
am again with nothing but a life filled with tears and
joy sometimes

Vezo: I'm really sorry you had to go through all of

that

Mwandle: it's okay...it is part of life

Food and drinks arrived, the combination got spice

up a little bit.

Mwandle: so you are telling me you used to date

three girls at the same time at your school?

Vezo: yes I'm telling you

Mwandle: did they not find out

Vezo: they did find out and...

Mwandle: what did they do?

Vezo: jumped on me in front of the whole school

Mwnadle: they best you up?

Vezo: yes and it's was so painful, I would never

forget that day

Mwandle : you deserved it though

Vezo laughs.

Vezo: I know

Mwnadle laughs.
Vezo: but I'm not the same person that I was in high
school, I am grown and I know what I want...

Mwandle: what do you want?

Vezo: I want you to be mine

Mwandle stood eating and she sat back.

Mwandle: Vezo you can't...

Vezo: I have been playing around and toying with

whatever woman i came across, I have learnt a lot
of lesson throughout everything and I'm done
toying around because I can now see what I have
been missing in my life this whole entire time...YOU
Mwandle: Vezo this is...I don't know we just met

Vezo: I know but I don't want to lose this

opportunity of making you mine, I want to be loyal
and I want to be a good man...

Mwandle: you don't need me in order to do all of

that Vezo...

Vezo: Mwandle firstly I need you to calm down and

listen to me cause I can see you are panicking right
now...

Mwandle closed her eyes and he starts talking.

Vezo: I have been...

Mwnadle quickly interrupts him.

Mwandle: I think we are better of as friends

Vezo's smile disappeared, his whole facial

expression changed and his mood dropped, he sat
back and Mwandle smiles nervously.

Mwandle: can you take me back home?

Vezo: we at still enjoying

Mwandle: I don't think there's nothing left to enjoy

after that whole combination, I'm sorry Vezo but
I'm not the right one for you

Vezo: that's not for you to decide

Mwandle: take me home please

Vezo: as my lady pleases

he requests the waiter to come with the bill and he

paid, they walk out the restaurant and Vezo cursed
before pulling her by the arm, holding her by the
waist and smashing his lips on her, she pops her
eyes open and doesn't respond to the kiss till he
pulls out.

Vezo: I'm sorry

Mwandle nods and Vezo unlocks the car, she got

handle the car before he could even open the door
for her and he sighs.

he walks to his side and once he was inside it was

awkward silence the whole ride back to the village,
he drops her off and locks the door.
Vezo: I had a good time with you...

Mwandle: thank you for the good time

Vezo: I'm sorry but I don't get it, everything was fine
all along...we were good and all of assuden you
changed on me? why?

Mwandle: can you unlock the car?

Vezo sighs and unlocks the car, she opens the door
and walks out. She bumps into Anesu who was
heading to Nqoba's car which was parked outside.

Anesu: you are back early how did...

Mwandle: just leave me alone

She quickly walks inside the house tears streaming
from her eyes.

CHAPTER 53
NARRATIVE.

Anesu stood there for a second confused as to what

was going on, She watches Vezo's car drive off and
she sighs deeply. Mwandle left here in an excited
mood and she came back crying, what seems to be
the problem? She asked herself as she walked to
Nqoba who has already got out of the car, he leans
on the car with a wide smile on his face.

Nqoba: Zwide KaLanga

Anesu: I thought I asked you not to call me by that
surname

Nqoba: it's your surname and you need to embrace

where you come from

Anesu: Nqoba I'm going to all back into that house

and leave you standing here okay? I'm not joking
trust me

Nqoba: why are you being moody so early in the

morning?

Anesu: your brother took my sister out and she was

happy when she left but returned in tears and that
doesn't sit well with me at all
Nqoba: I'm sure they will both resolve it there's no
need for the two of us to get involved in their
business

Anesu: I will get involved in all type of ways if that

brother of yours has my sister crying

Nqoba smiles and pulls Anesu for a kiss, she wraps

her arms around his neck and he moved his hand to
her ass grabbing it as the kiss gets deeper and more
passionate.

Anesu pulls put from the kiss and bites her lower
lip, she looks around and placed her hand on his
shoulder.

Anesu: we have neighbours and we should respect

them
Nqoba: I will keep that in mind next time, let's get in
the car I brought you something

Anesu: it better not be another expensive gift

Nqoba chuckles opening the door for her, she got

inside and she starts giggling when she saw the
bouquet of red roses at the back seat with some
brain takeaways from spur and chicken lickin.

Nqoba closed the door and he went to the drivers

side, he got inside and he smiles widely looking at
Anesu.

Anesu: you brought this all for me?

Nqoba: yes I did, I just wanted to apologise for

yesterday I know I was wrong for speaking to you in
that manner and I'm sorry for that
Anesu: I thought we talked about that and we were
through it, why all this?

Nqoba: I just wanted to spoil my woman, is that a

crime?

Anesu: not at all baby thank you

She picks him on the cheek and then moves back,

her smile suddenly disappearing from her face.

Anesu: where were you last night?

Nqoba: excuse me?

Anesu: you heard me Nqoba I asked you where

were you last night?
Nqoba: what kind of question is this?

Anesu: a question of a curious girlfriend who has

been trying to call her boyfriend the whole night
but no, he wasn't answering so I'm going to ask you
again and please don't lie to me...

Nqoba: I was out with Nathi for some drinks

Anesu: did you not see me calling?

Nqoba: I couldn't notice I was to busy

Anesu: busy with what?

Nqoba: having drinks with my brother wait hold

on...babe where are these questions coming from?
Anesu: I don't know...it's just that you always
answer my call or get back to me when you missed
one of my calls but this time

Nqoba: I'm just dealing with a lot family stress and I

just needed to let out some stress, I was out for
drinks and that is that

Anesu: mmmh okay...

She shrugs her shoulder and sat back realising a

deep sigh.

Anesu: you wouldn't cheat on me right?

Nqoba: baby...
Anesu: what? I know that you are a man and you
have needs like sex which I can't give to you
because of the rules my ancestors placed for me
which is to get married first and then we can do the
deed...I know I sometimes push your buttons and
that must be difficult for you but please don't go
around finding pleasure somewhere else because I
will leave you

Nqoba swallows and laughs a little.

Nqoba: how did we get to this topic?

Anesu laughs.

Anesu: I don't I just wanted to make sure that I have

my man only to myself and not with some other
women I don't know
Nqoba: baby i would never do anything to hurt you,
you are the only woman I love and the only woman
whose appealing in my eyes...even if there was to
be any woman, there is no woman I love more then
i love...you are my world baby and if I lose you, I
lose everything

Anesu: I love you too Nqoba

She smiles leaning closer for a kiss and he kissed her

hungrily, she pulled out from the kiss and she
started eating her hot wings from chicken lickin.

Anesu: so when were you planning on telling me

that we are leaving tomorrow?

Nqoba: shit...I forgot

Anesu: Nqoba this is not going to work if you going
to keep on acting like this, you need to be on the
right track and have a clear mind communicate with
me while there's still time

Nqoba: I had a lot on my mind but I promise to do

better in the future

Anesu: this is delicious...

Nqoba: we are planning on doing lunch with my

mother before we leave and I know a lot of drama is
happening in our family but she really wants to
spend one last time with us before we leave

Anesu: one last time? aren't you going to come back

for the throne?

Nqoba: I told them I don't want the throne

Anesu stops eating.

Anesu: why don't you want the throne anymore?

Nqoba: a lot of secrets are being carried by that

throne and I don't want any stress, I just want to
focus on rebuilding what Sphiwe took from me and
get my clients back into the business

Anesu: It looks like you already made up your mind

Nqoba: I have actually

Anesu: I need to go and check on my sister

Nqoba: okay come here...

he pulls her closer and looks into her eyes.

Nqoba: I love you and only you

yep the cheater in him is kicking in.

Anesu: I love you too

He packs her on the lips and she got out of the car
with her things, she stood outside the car and
Nqoba rolls down the window.

Nqoba: I will pick you up tomorrow for lunch and

then we are leaving

Anesu: I will see you then and travel safe

Nqoba: I will thank you

She blows him a kiss and he caught the kiss placed it
on his heart with a smile on his face, he watches her
walk inside the gate and inside the house.

he took out his phone and he went through his call

logs, he noticed that there was no call from Anesu
at night and he called Vezo.

he answered on the second ring.

Vezo: what do you want?

Nqoba: I know you might be having a bad day but

answer me like that, I need you to do something for
me

Vezo: I'm listening

Nqoba: can you hack into my phone and check if I
received a call from Anesu yesterday night

Vezo: can't you just check you call logs instead of

making me do all that?

Nqoba: I did but there's no missed call from her last

night but she told me she called, so can you get this
done for me?

Vezo: okay let me check

Nqoba hears some clicking and Vezo was busy on

his laptop.

Nqoba: is there anything?

Vezo: you actually did receive a call from Koti she's

not lying but the call was deleted
Nqoba: what do you mean deleted? how did that
happen?

Vezo: I should be asking you that and I don't even

want to know what you were doing that led to your
call being deleted but j know that whatever it is it's
not good

Nqoba clicks his tongue.

Nqoba: I will sort it out thank you

he hung up and he punched the dash board out of

anger, he starts his car and drives to this other part
of town. he parks his car outside her apartment and
he got out of the car, he went to knock on her door
and she answers.
She looked at him shocked.

Her: Nqoba what are you...

She couldn't finish her statement but Nqoba

strangled her and pushed her inside the apartment
kicking the door shut with the back of his foot and
pinned her against the wall.

Nqoba: how did you open my phone?

The woman was losing her breath.

Her: Nqoba I can't...

Nqoba: Gugu Fucking answer me

he shouts and let's her go, she fall down landing in
her butt and she held her aching neck catching her
breath.

Gugu: I...i...

Nqoba: stop stuttering and start talking or else I

will blow your brains

he took out his gun and points it at her.

Gugu: okay okay...after we had sex in the bathroom

and you decided we take this small steamy session
somewhere else and went to the hotel....

Nqoba: Fuck Gugu I know what happened stop with

the unnecessary details and tell me how you
unlocked my phone and why did you delete my
wife's call?
Gugu: I used your finger print while you were
sleeping, she couldn't stop calling and it was
annoying and I knew if you saw the calls you would
leave and I didn't want that to happen...

Nqoba punches the air out of frustration.

Nqoba: what did I tell you?

Gugu: Nqoba I'm sorry I just wanted you all to

myself and I knew that she meant nothing since you
came back for me...I just wanted her to be angry at
you and...

Nqoba grabs her by the shirt she was wear and

looks her dead in the eyes.

Nqoba: I asked you a question

Gugu: you told me no strings attached

Nqoba clicks his tongue.

Nqoba: you are not about to make me a woman

handler...don't you ever contact me again, delete
my numbers and if I see you anywhere near my
wife...if she find out about this I will kill you

Gugu: she's not even your wife she's just a girl and...

Nqoba was about to lose his cool and he had his

hand raised, he closed his eyes and cursed turning
around.

Nqoba: I'm a man of action and if you make any

stupid move I will have you terminated and there
won't be any trace of you ever existing, hope you
make a right decision for the sake of your life

he clicks his tongue and he walks out driving off, he

drove to the palace and when he got out of his car
he noticed Mbhemu standing outside his randovel.

he shook his head in disapproval and got inside the

randovel.

Nqoba: why does this old man have to know all of

my business? soon he will knock at my door step
and tell me how much I have fucked up...of course I
have fucked up but I have everything sorted she
won't be bothering me anymore

he talks to himself heading inside and he went to

his mother who was sitting on the couch with his
son's watching television.
he went and laid on his mother lap.

Ntongolozi: haibo!

Nqoba: don't ask any questions mma

Ntongolozi: what happened?

Nqoba: just know that it's a lot

Nathi starts laughing and stood up, Nqoba gave him

a side eye and Vezo was just minding his own
business busy on his phone and Fiso? he was just
focused on the television.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 54
MSAWENKOSI ZWIDE.

He got out of bed and scratches his body, he looks

next to him and a woman he probably doesn't
remember her name laid peaceful on the bed. He
shook his head looking at the empty pack of durex
condoms laying on the floor with the used condoms
scattered all over the place, he laughs a little
because he did not realise he used up the whole
pocket last night because of the stress he has.

He picks up his boxers from the floor and he wore

them, he started looking for his clothes till he found
every piece of clothing of his along with his wrist
watch.

He got dressed and he took out a few notes from

his wallet placed them on the nightstand and he
walks out the hotel room. He got inside an elevator
which took his to the ground floor, he walks to the
receptionist and he took out a few hundred rand
notes.

Musa: there's a woman I left in the hotel room I was

in, would you kindly wake her up for me and when
she does wake up give her this cash?

The receptionist nods and Musa walks out, he got

inside his BMW and drove straight to his palace. He
arrived there and he went straight to the room his
shares with the wife he wants nothing to do with.

She want in the room which was a complete releaf

from him and he walks inside the bathroom to take
a shower only to find Bonisiwe in the bath tub.

he sighs.
Musa: great she's here

he mumbles and Bonisiwe smiles.

Bonisiwe: you are back from whoring?

Musa: I don't want to argue with you this early in

the morning

Bonisiwe: how long will you continue like this

Msawenkosi?

Musa: the only thing you seem to care about is me

not warming up the bed for you at night instead of
you worrying about this family that's falling apart, I
might be whoring around but I am a man whose
working hard so that we can have food to eat and
clothes to wear...so don't start with me
Bonisiwe: Don't you raise your voice at me!

She warns and Musa laughs a little.

Musa: you are mad for nothing

Bonisiwe: you are my husband Musa and do you

know how embarrassing it is to have Martha
gossiping with the other wives about me being
unable to keep my husband in bed and...

Musa: for fuck sakes Bonisiwe if you keep on acting

like this...

he waves his hands in the air.

Musa: you won't ever attend those tea parties no
more, you will no longer be fit to attend those
events with other wives because you are going to
be broke...you are going to be a broke Queen and it
won't be my fault

Bonisiwe: what do you mean Musa?

Musa: we are on my left with fifty thousand on our

accounts combined together and we need to pay
for your daughters school fees which is twenty six
thousand meaning we are going to be left with...

Bonisiwe: twenty four thousand

Musa: with the way you are spending money that

won't even last us a single week, I don't know
where all our money is disappearing to and I don't
know why our ancestors have turned their back on
us but whatever it is I will have to sort it out so
please...stop stressing me out

he sighs and got inside the shower, Bonisiwe's jaw

dropped realising that she has gone really broke.
She did not think that things would turn out this
eay, the ancestors did not seem to be angry with
the decision she made of throwing away her first
born which leaves her wondering why are they
showing their wrath now?

Musa finished showering and he lotions his body,

he got dressed into his grey suit and he left for the
office.

He arrived at the office and he tried by all means to

avoid the workers who kept on complaining about
not getting their cash on their pay day and Musa
has been trying to make excuses but those excuses
seem not to help because he has been getting calls
from lawyers of his workers trying to sue him for
breach of contract.

He walks into his office and passed his personal

assistant who also stood up following him.

Musa: can I help you Susan?

Susan: uhm sir...

Musa: if you don't have anything to say you can get

out of my office because I need to prepare for my
meeting with...

Susan: about that sir the GMX company canceled

the meeting and took their business elsewhere

Musa: what do you mean they took their business

else where?
Susan: sir the news of you not paying your
employees has surfaced the socials and it's on
number one on Twitter, people are talking and
bashing your name

Musa: what does thus have to do with my meeting?

Susan: they said they don't want to associate with a

man whose unable to keep his building in check and
they said...

Musa: what did they say Susan?

Susan: they regret ever doing business with you

Musa placed down his things in the table and he

sighs.
Musa: Fuck!

Susan: what do we do now sir?

Musa: Susan why are you still here?

Susan: I'm still here because I love my job and it's

the on my thing that can keep me away from that
evil step mother of mine

Musa smiles a little.

Musa: get me a cup of strong coffee and put Tom

on call

Susan: yes sir

She walks out and later Musa received a call from
Tom, he tried to beg him to help him out but Tom
had nothing to offer. Musa was passed and stressed
out ad he tried to combine one with two but
instead of three being formed things became worse
and the business was drowning with zero clients
and investors. He is probably going to go down as
the world's first King to go poor and that sucks for
him, even his last option couldn't help.

he saw that staying in the office was pointless with

no clients walking in, he decided to leave and when
he looked at the time and noticed it was still right in
the morning and already he is heading back home.

he pack everything and head back home, he went to

visit the royal seer in hopes that he might help him
in his struggle.

he took off his shoes and got inside the randovel.

"a visit from my King after a long time? the
ancestors are happy to see you."

Musa: they are pretending with you these ancestors

are not happy, Chumuka tell me what's going on?

Chumuka laughs a little bit.

Chumuka: you are right the ancestors are angry but

not at you, they are angry at the decisions that
were made in these walls which resulted to what's
happening to your kingdom

Musa: what decisions?

Chumuka: the special one was taken away from

these lands and now the ancestors want the special
one back
Musa: what special one?

Chumuka: the one who is one with the water

Musa: why are you speaking in riddles just give me

a simple name and I will be out of here

Chumuka: it doesn't work like that, the ancestors

want to make you suffer till the one behind all of
this speaks the truth on what actually happened to
the special one

Musa: you know what? this is pointless

he stood up from the grass mat on the floor and he

walks out, he went to the palace and he found
Zamazwide seated in the living room watching some
television while enjoying her snacks.
Musa kissed her on the cheek.

Musa: how is my little princess doing?

Zama: I'm good dad and yourself?

Musa: I'm great

Zama: how was work?

Musa: hectic...

he sighs taking a sit next to her.

Zama: do you want to talk about it?

Musa: not really it's nothing I can't handle

Zama: okay if you say so, I just can't wait to go back

to school and see my friends

Musa sighs.

Musa: that sounds exiting but we need to talk about

something

Zama: if it's something bad I don't want to talk

about it

Musa: Stop acting like a child and just listen to me...

he shouts making her jump a little.

Musa: I'm sorry okay? I'[Link] under a lot of stress
right now

Zama: it's okay I understand work can be stressful I

also feel the same way about my school work

She smiles widely.

Musa: you know I love you right?

Zama: I love you too dad

Musa: and you do know that the situation here at

home isn't okay right?

Zama: yes I do know that...baba what's going on?

Musa: I don't think daddy will be able to take you
back to your boarding school this year

Zama: what!?

She jumps off the couch and looks at her father

with disbelief hoping that he was joking.

Musa: Zamazwide sit down

She sits back down.

Musa: now listen I know how much you love that

school but daddy isn't in the right space financially
which means we are going to have to enroll you in a
new school

Zama: but daddy I just made new friends and I love

them...
Musa: you just need to understand okay? I'm trying
my very best

Zama: but father where will I be schooling?

Musa: there is nice school here at the village

Zama: you mean that government school where

those dumb kids learn? I don't want to go there
baba

Musa: Zama watch your tone

Zama: but baba you are a king and I'm a princess,

what will people say when I start attending in that
cheap school? what will my friends say? I will lose
my friends and my image
Musa: you are sixteen years old for Christ sake and
you know nothing about image, right now you need
to suck that little attitude up because you are going
to register with your mother first thing in the
morning

Zama: but I don't want to...

Musa: do you want to be a woman who has no

education? do you not want to be educated?

Zama: I do baba but this...this is a lot and I just...

She starts crying and Musa pulls her into a hug

which she refuses, she pushed him away and stood
up running upstairs.

Musa: Zama...
Zama: leave me alone

She shouts and the next thing he hears her

slamming her room door shut, he cursed under his
breath and sat back.

Musa: what did I do to deserve such? I'm trying

here and every single thing I put my hands on
seems to go to waste...

he stood up and went to his garage, he looks at his

luxurious cars parked there and he took out his
phone. He calls a car dealer and he sighs deeply as
the phone rang.

"hello?"

Musa: it's King Msawenkosi Zwide Speaking

"your highness how are you?"

Musa: I'm not good at all, I need your help will you
be able to help me?

"depends on what you want me to help you with"

Musa: I want to sell you my cars

"how many and which brand?"

Musa: Five BMW, a Porsche and a rolls Royce

" damn those cars sound really expensive why do

you want to sell them? are you buying new ones?"

Musa: I just need some money that all

"okay Sir I will have my man to come by tomorrow
to inspect the cars and then we can starts talking
business."

Musa: I will see you tomorrow then

"yes sir."

Musa hung up and he sighs deeply looking at his

favourite cars, he really is about to lose everything.

[THE DUBE ROYAL PALACE]

Ntongolozi was excited about lunch which is why

she woke up early in the morning and started
preparing, she wanted to make each and very dish
with her own hands and out of love of course.
Lungani locked himself in his study last night and
drank his sorrows of knowing that he is nothing and
has nothing, he tried to beg for forgiveness from
Ntongolozi but she did not want to hear any of it.

She even moved to the guest room for her own

peace and sanity, she was done making the velvet
cake and she placed it inside the fridge so it can set
properly. She then took out her pots and the
ingredients she required and started cooking.

Nqoba walks inside the house and he smiles at the

sight of his mother back where she belongs which is
in her kitchen, he walks up to her and kissed her on
the cheek.

Nqoba: good morning mma

Ntongolozi: good morning darling it's good that you

are hear I could use some help
Nqoba: I would complain but I don't have anything
else to do plus I missed cooking with you

Ntongolozi: you going to miss me even more

because you are leaving, where are your brothers?
they should be down here helping?

Nqoba: let me go call them for you

Ntongolozi: you go do that and come back here

with them

Nqoba nods and he walks up the stairs, on his way

to Vezo's room he bumped into Lungani who looked
like a mess and they exchanged stares not uttering
a single word to one another.
Nqoba shook his head and he arrived at Vezo's
room door, he knocks on the door and barges in. He
found him peacefully asleep and he starts shaking
him.

Vezo: whaaat?

he covers his face with the blanket.

Nqoba: mother is requesting you downstairs and

she wants us to help her prepare lunch, why are you
even sleeping at this hour?

Vezo: dude just tell mother I'm sick

Nqoba: but you are not sick and if I tell her you are
she will come running up those stairs to check on
you like a little baby
Vezo sighs.

Vezo: alright I will be down in a few seconds

Nqoba: you seem down

Vezo: I just had a bad night

Nqoba: you want to talk about what happened

between you and Mwandle?

Vezo: don't even go there okay? I will meet you

downstairs

Nqoba: are you sure you are okay? I have a feeling

you were crying
Vezo: of course I was crying now get out of my
room dude

Nqoba raised his hands in the air and he walks out

giving him some space, he went to knock on Fiso's
room and he was busy talking to his fiance on the
phone.

Fiso: hold on for a second love...what is it?

Nqoba: mom want a helping hand downstairs

Fiso: I will be down in a second

Nqoba: don't let that turn into an hour

Fiso: yeah yeah close the door on your way out

Nqoba just chuckles and he walks out but left the
door open, Fiso shouts at the top of his lungs for
Nqoba to come close the door but did he listen? no
he did not he just laughed as he walked to Nathi's
room, he knocks on his door and barges in on my to
find him sitting in front of his computer with his
headsets on, a bottle of hand lotion on the table, he
pants lowers and his hand besting his meat.

His groans filled the room as he watching gay porn,

Nqoba just shook his head and he went to take off
the headsets from Nathi's ears making him jump
straight to stand on both his feet.

Nathi: wtf dude can't you knock?

he quickly wore his pants and shuts his laptop.

Nqoba: I knocked and you did not hear because you
were busy listening to other man moaning or
whatever it's called, are you gay?

Nathi: me gay? I'm not gay it's just porn dude relax

Nqoba: but it's gay porn

Nathi: it's porn that is all that matters

Nqoba: so you enjoy watching other man Fuck each

other?

Nathi: are you heading yourself? of course I don't

Nqoba: why were you watching it then?

Nathi: okay get out of my room, you have asked
enough questions go...

he pushed him but Nqoba pushed him stepping

back.

Nqoba: don't touch me with those hands you were

using to Fucking masturbate...

he shouts and Nathi quickly covers his mouth,

Nqoba pushed him once more and spits on the
floor.

Nqoba: I'm going to Fucking kill you

Nathi: I'm sorry I didn't mean to...

Nqoba grabs him by the neck and got on top of him,

he was about to punch him when Nathi moans.
Nathi: yes daddy!

Nqoba quickly got off him and he looked really

pissed making Nathi laugh real hard.

Nathi: it's a prank I wasn't masturbating I just heard

you annoying my brothers by knocking in their
room so I had to annoy you...now look how cute
you are

Nqoba: you still touched me with the hand you

were...argh! Good God

Nathi: we are brothers my sperms are your sperms

Nqoba: you are sick!

he walks out looking annoyed and Nathi just
laughed, Nqoba had to take a shower and change
into new clothes because he wasn't about to go
prepare food after he was touched with hands
which were used to ejaculate.

He finally walks back to the kitchen and he gives

Nathi a dead stare, they started making lunch and
they had fun chatting with their mother and getting
to learn new recipes even though Vezo did not
seem to be in the mood in the beginning but he
loosened up after a few minutes.

Once lunch was done and ready Ntongolozi went to

freshen up, his son's also went to freshen up. Fiso
and Nqoba went to fetch the girl's who looked
stunning in their dresses, they arrived at the palace
and Nqoba helps Anesu out of the car. He also
opens the door for Mwandle and they walks inside,
they were just on time as Ntongolozi came
downstairs dressed in a pink sundress which was
long and looked stunning on her in a way that her
skin was glowing.

Ntongolozi: my girls

Ntethe: hey mma

Anesu: I love the dress

Mwandle: hi

She waves awkwardly with a smile on her face,

Ntongolozi just smiles.

Ntongolozi: don't just stand there give me a hug

The girls giggled and they gave Ntongolozi a big

tight group hug making her smile.
The girls pull put from the hug.

Ntongolozi: y'all should marry these girls

Nathi: you really want me to be left single alone huh

mma?

Ntongolozi: I'm not the one who told you to play

around instead of finding a girl to love

Vezo: relax brother I got you

he rubs his shoulder and Nathi looks at him

confused.

Nathi: kanti aren't you and...

Vezo: can we start eating my starving

he starts a new topic trying to avoid Nathi's

question, Mwandle wanted to leave as in like
immidielty as she started feeling guilty for treating
Vezo in a bad way.

Anesu: you can say that again I'm starving

Nqoba kissed her on the cheek as he directs her to

the beautiful lunch sat up which was in the dinning
area that is outside, it had a buffet ready to be
eaten and the girls were surprised that Ntongolozi
went all out on the lunch.

Ntethe: mma this is beautiful

Ntongolozi: thank you I wanted it to be the best for
you guys since y'all are leaving me to die here all
alone

Fiso: mma we will see you soon during the wedding

relax

Ntongolozi smiles and they start serving themselves

to the mouth watering buffet, once they were done
serving themselves they sat down and started
eating.

Ntongolozi: speaking of wedding when are you two

planning on doing the wedding?

Ntethe: we want it to be nothing but the best so we

will take our time and next month we will get
married
Fiso: which is the month we met in and maybe we
can tie the knot on the same date, who knows?

he shrugs and Ntethe laughs a little.

Ntongolozi: I'm so happy for the two of you

Fiso looks at Ntethe and he kissed her hand.

Ntongolozi: and wena Nqoba when are you

planning to marry this beautiful girl?

Anesu laughs a little.

Anesu: we don't want to rush into things mma

Nqoba: but just know that anytime soon she will be

my wife and the mother of our children
Anesu: I'm not sure about the children part

everyone at the table laughs.

Ntongolozi: you two are funny but I'm glad y'all are
taking one step at a time and giving your
relationship a chance to grow you know...that is
good and wena Vezo?

Vezo: I'm just planning on focusing on my business

that's all nothing fun

Ntongolozi: what about that girl I heard you talk

about yesterday whom you were going out with?
what was her name again...Mwandle *smiles* isn't
that your name darling?
She asks Mwandle as she took a fork of chicken into
her mouth, Mwandle looks down and starts playing
her finger.

Mwandle: I...uhm...

Vezo: it didn't turn out the way I thought it would

now...*breathes* can we stop talking about it?

he snaps?

Ntongolozi: I only asked this once and already you

are chopping my head off? I know its none of my
business but I'm your mother and I wanted to
know...I'm sorry it didn't turn out well but that
doesn't give you the reason to snap on me like that
Vezo sighs and he looks at Nqoba who simply shook
his head, Vezo close his eyes for a second and he
smiles looking at his mother.

Vezo: I'm sorry I did not meant to snap on you

mma, you know how much I love you right?

Ntongolozi: uh-huh

Vezo sat back and he looks at Mwandle for a second

with his fingers on his chin, he shook his head and
sighs. Mwandle wanted to leave the table this
instant but there seems to be no meaningful excuse
to do so.

Ntongolozi: Zinathi...

She calls his name and he turns looking at her.

Nathi: yes mma?

Ntongolozi: when are you finding a girlfriend?

Nathi: when the time is right mma

Ntongolozi: what if the time right and the only

problem is you?

Nathi: what if there was no time at all?

Ntongolozi grins and shook her head.

Ntongolozi: I'm done with you boy...I give up

Nathi: it will be a surprise mma, I will bring

someone home one day
Nqoba: it shouldn't be a boy though

Nathi: I'm not gay brother trust me, I'm straight as a

ruler

Fiso: a ruler can also bend you know?

Nathi: it means you can also still bend then

Ntethe laughs and the girls join in.

Lunch was nothing but prefect even though Vezo

and Mwandle were avoiding each other, Vezo on
the other side was dealing with the feeling of being
rejected by the girl he happens to have feeling for
and Mwandle on the other hand is dealing with
GUILT. it's eating her up and if she hadn't friend
zoned him she would probably be the happiest girl
alive but no...girl decided to let the last get to her.
While everyone was enjoying themselves inside
Mwandle excused herself and she went to the
garden to look at the flowers, as she walks she
bumps into Nathi who was smoking weed.

Mwandle: I'm sorry I didn't mean to...

Nathi: it's okay do you want some?

Mwandle: I'm not a smoker but I could really use

that

She took the blunt and took one puff which made
her cough.

Nathi: don't give in to it, try again

Mwandle: you are a bad influence do you know
that?

Nathi: I know now try it again

Mwnadle rolls her eyes and took another puff but

thus time she got a hang of it, they sat down on the
grass and exchanged blunts not rumours.

Nathi: you looked uncomfortable in there

Mwandle: you noticed?

Nathi: I'm good at reading body language

Mwandle: of course you are...

silence.
Nathi: so what bothering you?

Mwandle: I think I made a wrong decision

Nathi: about what?

Mwandle: friend zoning Vezo after he took me out

and started confessing on how he wanted me to be
his

Nathi: you friend zoned Vezokuhle?

Mwnadle nods and Nathi laughs, they both laugh

and that's when they knew the weed was kicking in.

Mwandle: I just don't know what I was doing, I just

panicked and started remembering how my past
relationship ended and I don't want to be used like
that ever again...

Nathi: what happened in your past relationship?

Mwandle: he got into a relationship with me

because he wanted to sleep with me and once I
have him my virginity I found out he was in a
relationship with this other girl who was
pregnant...I was heartbroken because I thought he
was my safe space since he was there during my
hard times but he was just there for the treasure

She chuckles and took one last puff.

Mwandle: oh it is finished

Nathi: I'm stoned

Mwandle: Anesu will kill me

Nathi: she will start off with me and then she will go
ahead and kill you

Mwnadle cracks.

Mwandle: I don't even know why I just told you

that?

Nathi: told me what?

Mwandle: my past relationship...I never told anyone

Nathi: I have that effect on people

Mwandle: remind me to never smoke again

Nathi: I will

they both laugh and Mwandle placed her hand on

his chest, they both slowly brought their faces
closer to each others and stared into each others
red eyes which is a sign of them being high.

before things got my to hand Nathi moved away

and he said.

Nathi: I'm probably one of the brothers toy don't

want to get your little claws on, I will Fuck you and
forget you ever existed so...stick to my brother
okay?

Mwandle: Fuck what am I thinking...

Nathi: you are high that is the problem

Mwandle: it's your fault

Nathi: I didn't force you

Mwandle: maybe we should stay here till the weed

wears off?

Nathi: that's a good idea and a bad one, let's go

inside

Mwandle: okay fine...wait what colour are my eyes?

Nathi: what stupid questions that of course your

eyes will be red because you just smiles now let's go

Mwandle stood up from the floor and they walk

back inside, they tried to act normal and for some
reason God was on their side. They did not get
caught, after the lunch they had to drive to the
airport.

The bid Ntongolozi good bye and got inside the

private jet.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 55
NARRATIVE.

The girls sat in the dining area chatting a storm

about the future plans they have with one another,
The brothers were in another private room and
they were discussing business related stuff. The girls
sat there and Ntethe started talking about the
wedding plans.
Ntethe: I might look cool about this whole thing but
honestly I'm stressed out about thus wedding

Anesu: what is making you have stress?

Ntethe: I don't know how I will start with the

wedding plans, I want something that is simple and
not big where we will have our families and friends
gather to see us tie the knot but Fiso doesn't want
all that...

She sighs.

Mwandle: why doesn't he want all that?

Ntethe: I don't know you can knock on that door

and ask him...
Anesu laughs and went to sit next to Ntethe, she
held her hand and smiled.

Anesu: you love him right?

Ntethe: what kind of question is that? of course I

love him

Anesu: then you two should sit down and talk about
it as a couple, I'm sure Fiso will understand if you
tell him the actual reason why you don't want a
huge wedding

Ntethe: you are right I will talk to him

Anesu smiles.

Ntethe: now can we stop looking bored and let's

have some champagne
Anesu: oh no I'm good

Ntethe: why?

Anesu: I don't like my drunk side and plus I don't

feel like drinking I just want to be held by my man
before I start getting air sick

Ntethe: suit yourself then girl, Mwandle?

Mwandle: yes?

Ntethe: do you want some Champaign?

Mwandle: no I'm good thank you

Ntethe's jaw dropped in disappointment and she
looks at Mwandle worried.

Ntethe: are you okay?

Mwandle: I'm fine honestly

Ntethe: are you still bothered about what happened

between you and Vezo?

Mwandle: not really I'm just deep in my thoughts

about something but it's not that serious

Ntethe sighs.

Ntethe: okay if you say so then

She shrugs and stood up to pour herself a glass of
champagne , she sat down having her champagne
while they watched something on the small screen.

The private room door finally opens and the

brothers walks out, Fiso went to kiss Ntethe on the
cheek and whispered.

Fiso: I can't wait till we get home

Ntethe giggles.

Fiso went to join Nathi and Vezo who were seated

on the opposites seats in front of the girls, Nqoba
just stood behind the couch speaking on Anesu's
air.

Nqoba: are you feeling okay? I know how travelling

in the air makes you feel sick
Anesu: I'm managing but I feel cold

Nqoba: should I turn down the air conditioner?

Anesu: no I will just grab a blanket

Nqoba: you know I'm right over there if you need

me

Anesu: I know baby

She turns her head to the side and Nqoba meets her
half way, he kissed her on the lips and pulls out
biting his lower lip then smiled.

He went to join his brothers and it didn't even take

them a single minute they were laughing at some
jokes Nathi was busy making, it got late and they
were still flying in the air. Nathi went to sleep on
the other couch and Fiso was also fast sleep on his
seat which he had adjusted to lay back so he can
sleep comfortably.

Anesu was cuddling with Nqoba and Mwandle was

left with Ntethe who was sleeping next to her,
Mwandle did not feel like sleeping. She kept staring
at Vezo who was busy on his iPad with headsets on,
she wanted to talk to him really badly but seeing
how he kept on avoiding her during lunch? she
doesn't want to get herself embarrassed nor get on
his bad side.

Ntethe woke up and she covers her mouth as she

yawned, she rubs her eyes and looks around
noticing how almost everyone was fast sleep. She
smiled noticing her man fast sleep on a seat
opposite his brother Vezo who was busy on his
ipad, she was about to stand up and join Fiso but
noticed how Mwandle's eyes were glued on Vezo.

Ntethe smiled and moves closer to Mwandle.

Ntethe: why are you not sleeping?

Mwandle jumps a little out of surprise.

Mwandle: you are awake?

Ntethe: yes I am and I can see that your sister

already left you to go be with her man

Mwandle: yeah

She fakes a smile and her eyes move back to Vezo.

Ntethe: you do know it is bad to just stare right?

Mwandle: excuse me?

Ntethe: don't act stupid I saw how you were staring

at Vezokuhle

Mwandle: I don't know what you are talking about

maybe I was thinking

Ntethe chuckles.

Ntethe: baby I was not born yesterday you should

go talk to the guy and stop staring at him, it is wierd
you know

Mwandle: I don't think he wants to talk to me in

fact I think he hates me, I shouldn't have hurt him
like that
Ntethe: don't tell me go and tell him that

Mwandle shook her head and Ntethe sighs, she

shrugs and got up from the couch. She walks
towards Vezo and tapped him on the shoulder
making him take off his headsets.

Vezo: can I help you?

Ntethe: I need to sleep and if you don't mind can

we exchange seats?

Vezo: you looked comfortable sleeping on the

couch why do you want to take my seat all of
assuden?

Ntethe: are you going to give me the seat or not?

Vezo: where will I sit?

Ntethe: right there on the couch

Vezo takes a quick peak behind Ntethe and noticed

Mwandle pretend sleeping on the couch, he sighs
deeply.

Vezo: I know this is the trap to make me talk to her

Ntethe: you are right it is a trap now can you stop

acting like a boy and act like a man, go talk to the
poor girl and hear her out

Vezo: I don't want to hear anything Ntethe she told

me to get off and I don't want to be a nuisance so...
Ntethe: Vezokuhle stop being stubborn and go sit
with the poor girl, how long will you two avoid each
other?

Vezo sighs realising that Ntethe has a point.

Vezo: okay fine you can sit here and I will go sit
next to her

Ntethe: good now get up I need to sleep

Vezo got up and Ntethe sat down, he walks to the

couch and he sat down next to Mwandle who for
some reason has fallen asleep.

Vezo chuckles and shook his head when he saw

Ntethe moving from the seat she demanded and
cuddling with Fiso.
He looks at Mwandle and noticed how her eyes are
not fully closed, he could see that she wasn't
sleeping.

Vezo: I know you are not asleep

he said and placed his iPad on the table, he shifts

his body and faced Mwandle.

Vezo: you were staring at me few minutes ago and

there is no way you are asleep, so you can stop
pretending

Mwandle sighs and she sat up straight.

Mwandle: I'm sorry...

Vezo: what are you sorry for?

Mwandle: I'm sorry for staring at you

Vezo: it's okay and I don't blame you...I mean I

know I'm snack

Mwandle laughs a little and bites her lower lip

looking down.

Mwandle: but mostly I am sorry for ruining our date

the other day,I know that I was wrong for rejecting
you out of a bloom and...I know you possibly hate
me for what I did but I just...I wasn't...

She starts crying and Vezo moves closer to her.

Vezo: don't cry come on...come here

He pulls her into his arms and gave her a tight hug.

Vezo: it's okay

Mwandle shook her head and pulls our from the

hug.

Mwandle: it's not okay I should have atleast given

you a reason for rejecting you like that...I just got
scared when you started confessing how much you
want me to be yours and that made me to think of
my past relationship and how it ended, I did not
want to go through hell again...I didn't want to get
my feelings hurt Vezo, I was just trying to protect
my heart and...

Vezo: protect your heart from who? me? do I look

like i can break the heart of a woman I love?
Mwandle: it's just my past...

Vezo: what happened in your past?

Mwandle looks into his eyes with her eyes filled

with tears, she wipes the tears falling down her
cheeks and she took a deep breath. She starts
narrating everything and in the process she kept on
breaking down and crying, Vezo was angry that she
was treated that way.

Vezo: I didn't know and I'm sorry you went through

all that but trust me, not all of us are here to snatch
away your dignity okay? not all of us find joy in
making a woman cry unless it's under different
circumstances *smirks* I want to build a future with
you Mwandle...I want to make you mine and
shower you with love each and every single day, I
want to make you the happiest woman on this
earth...i know that you have a bad experience when
it comes to relationships but give me a chance and I
promise I won't ever break your heart

Mwandle: you promise?

Vezo: I swear I would never

Mwandle just gave him a tight hug as she cried and

he made sure to hold her tight the same way he
held her all night during the new year. She pulls out
from the hug and looks at his lip then back to his
eyes, he cups her chin and made her look up at her.

Vezo: be mine

Mwandle: I have always been yours Vezokuhle

Vezo: can I kiss you now?

Mwandle giggles and smashed her lips on his, he
groans grabbing her by the waist and pulling her
closer. She pulls out from the kiss and she got on
top of him, she packs him on the lips and Vezo grabs
her ass pulling her back for another steaming kiss.

a moan escapes her mouth making Vezo pull out.

Vezo: not here

Mwandle nods and lays her head on his chest, he

kissed her on the forehead.

CHAPTER 56
ANESU MTSHALI.

When they arrived at the airport they took different

cars taking them to different locations, Anesu was
slowly drifting off to sleep while Nqoba drove to
their new house mind you it's eleven at night. The
drive was silent and Nqoba kept stealing glances of
his sleeping beauty, when he was few metres away
from reaching the location of his house he gave
Anesu's thighs a small squeeze and then shook her
thigh waking her up.

Anesu: baby?

She yawns opening her ocean blue eyes and he just

bites his lower lip as he though of how he was able
to score a dime as a girlfriend.

Nqoba: we are about to reach the house

Anesu: really? thank you for waking me up

He took her left hand and gave it a kiss while his

right hand controlled the starring wheel, he finally
reached a one road lane which had beautiful trees
on the sides and he stops his car in front of a huge
metal gate.

The gate opens after on my a few seconds and

Nqoba drove in, he hoots his car at the security
guard at the gate and Anesu's eyes light up when
she saw the huge glass mansion.

Anesu: this is huge!

Her jaw dropped as her drives around the water

fountain and he parks his car right in front of the
door steps, he got out of the car and opens the
door for Anesu.

Anesu: you built this in such a short period of time?

Nqoba: yes I did, do you like it?

Anesu: why should I like it? I love it

Nqoba: I'm glad you love it because this is our new

home

Anesu: you are kidding right?

Nqoba: I'm not kidding

he pulls her closer to peck her on the lips and she

smiles looking into his eyes.
Anesu: this house is huge how am I suppose to
survive in such a large house

Nqoba: don't worry baby I will keep you company

Anesu: yeah right by being busy with your work

Nqoba: you know I will always come back for you

Anesu shrugs.

Anesu: baby...

She wraps her arms around his neck and stood on

her toes, she looks deep into his eyes and gave him
a short kiss on the lips which he did not want to
end.
Nqoba: yes babe?

Anesu: I'm hungry and I want to sleep

Nqoba: period cravings?

She nods her head and pouts her mouth.

Nqoba: let's go inside and I will prepare a nice meal

for you

Anesu: you would do that for me?

Nqoba: yes you are my woman and I take care of

my woman, now let's go
he squeezed her ass and received a dead stare as
she walks to the house, they arrived inside and
went straight to the kitchen. Nqoba started doing
his magic in the kitchen staring those pots and the
house was filled with a mouth watering aroma.

Anesu looks at her man in an apron and smiles.

Anesu: so when will you teach me how to cook?

Nqoba: anytime you want baby

Anesu: mhm...you are taking long though my

stomach feels empty

Nqoba: patience is key

Anesu: tell that to my stomach, let me go shower

and I will be back
She stood up and heads upstairs, she stood on her
tracks and looks at Nqoba.

Anesu: I love you

Nqoba stops what he was doing and he looks at his

woman with a wide smile on his face.

Nqoba: I love you too

Anesu blows him a kiss and she went upstairs, her

begs were already in their room and she sighs
looking around the room. She went to the meduim
sized tablet on the wall behind the door and she
was curious as to what the tablet could do. She took
it out from its socket and she started swiping in the
screen.
She pressed a button which deemed the glass
windows in the house and she nods with a smile,
she discovered the new things the tablet could do
and once she was done feeding her curious mind
she placed the tablet back where it belonged.

She started unpacking her begs and placed her stuff

nicely inside her walk in closet, once she was done
she took her stuff and went to the bathroom.

She strips naked and she steps inside the double

shower, she used the shower which was on the left
a d she started scrubbing her body. once she felt
clean enough she steps out of the shower and dries
her body with a towel, she wraps her body with a
clean fresh towel and she went to the main room.

She got dressed and wore her pyjamas, she went

downstairs and found Nqoba already dishing up.
She went to hug him from behind and kissed him on
his back, he turns around once he was done and he
cups her on her left jaw with his hand and he starts
devouring her lips before pulling out as he felt
himself rising down there.

Nqoba: the food is ready

Anesu: ngiyabonga Nzwakele (thank you Nzwakele)

he kissed her on the cheek and they went to sit in

the living room while they ate their food watching a
telenovela on the screen.

Once they were done Anesu went to do the dishes

and as she was in the middle of doing her dishes she
started getting cramps in her stomach, she felt the
urge to vomit and did it on the dust him which was
near.
She got up from her knees and she rinsed her
mouth, she pours herself a glass of water and she
drank it in one go.

He surprised her by hugging her from behind and

she frees herself from his grib, she pushed him
away.

Anesu: don't touch me...why are you touching me?

can't you see I'm busy with the dishes?

She half shouts and Nqoba had a shock facial

expression written on his face.

Nqoba: hawu...

Anesu: can you let me finish washing the dishes?

Nqoba nods and he walks back to the living room,
Anesu finished with the dishes and she went
straight to sleep. She slept peacefully in the bed and
she felt him climbing in the bed, he pulls her closer
to him and made her lay on his chest.

Nqoba: I don't know what I did for you to snap on

me like that but I love you okay? no matter what

Anesu: I didn't mean to snap on you

Nqoba: it's okay

Anesu kissed him on the chest.

Nqoba: I will leave early for work tomorrow

Anesu: it's okay I also have to start with my lessons

so I understand
Nqoba kissed her on the forward and they slept.

...

Morning came and Nqoba woke up early in the

morning, he plugged his phone inside the charger
and went to his indoor gym. He exercised for an
hour and he went to take a shower, while he was
inside the bathroom his phone starts ringing.

Anesu starts tossing a turning as the sound of his

phone ringing woke her up.

Anesu: Nqoba your phone...

She thought she was shouting but she wasn't, the

phone stops ringing and it starts ringing again. She
got frustrated and she got up waking to the phone
that was charged. She took the phone and it was an
unsaved number, she swipes the grew button
answering the call.

Anesu: hello?

The person doesn't say a word and Anesu could

hear them breathing.

Anesu: did you call to breath or you are going to say

something?

still nothing.

Anesu: okay bye then? nice breathing

The person drops the call and Anesu rolls her eyes
placing the phone down, she walks back to the bed
and went back undercover.
Nqoba walks out of the bathroom and he decided
to wake up his girl by kissing her, she covered her
mouth.

Anesu: morning breath baby...

Nqoba: I don't care give me a kiss

Anesu: I still want to sleep

Nqoba: you will sleep after giving me a kiss

Anesu covers her face with the blanket.

Anesu: no...you should check your phone someone

was calling and when I answered they just kept on
breathing not saying a word
there was some loud silence in the room.

Nqoba: you answered my phone?

Anesu: yes I did

She removes the cover and looks at him.

Nqoba: who gave you the permission to answer my

phone?

Anesu: I didn't know I had to ask for permission but

for your information was sleeping and you phone
kept on ringing, I wanted to sleep but the person
kept calling and I had to answer because I thought
that maybe it was important...
Nqoba: so you answered my phone?

Anesu: that's all you heard huh out of all the things I
have just said?

Nqoba: the question still remains baby why did you

answer my phone?

Anesu: what you have something to hide?

Nqoba: I don't but...

Anesu: shut up then

She got up from the bed and she walks to the

bathroom, Nqoba follows her to the bathroom.

Nqoba: baby I didn't mean to...

Anesu shuts the door on his face and he clenched
his jaw when he heard the door locking.

Nqoba: fuck...

he walks to his phone and he sent the number to

Vezo to check who it was, he was busy on his phone
when Anesu walks out of the bathroom giving him a
side eye.

Nqoba: baby I'm...

Anesu: save it

Nqoba: baby it's just that I have a lot of people

trying to kill me...
Anesu: you should come up with better excuses

Nqoba: baby I'm not hiding anything from you

Anesu: never said you were

She walks inside the closet.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 57
NARRATIVE.

Nqoba was done getting dressed and Anesu was still

inside the walk in closet, he walks inside the closet
and found her arranging her clothes. He stood next
to the closet island and he leans on it watching her
do the work, she turns around and looks at him for
a few seconds and continues with arranging her
clothes.

Nqoba: I'm leaving for work

silence.

Nqoba: do you want me to bring you anything when

u return?

Anesu: I would ask you to not bring yourself when

you return from work but that won't be possible
now will it?

She gave him a side eye and she shrugs, he moves

closer to her and held her by the waist from behind.

Anesu: Nqobuthando don't touch me please

Nqoba moves back and sighs.

Nqoba: baby what did I do wrong?

Anesu: nothing do you feel like you did something

wrong?

Nqoba sighs once more.

Nqoba: I know that I shouldn't have questioned toy

like that for answering my phone and I'm sorry

Anesu turns to face him.

Anesu: who was that calling you?

Nqoba: I don't know but since when do you care
about who calls me?

Anesu: since you came back home with a lipstick on

your shirt

She folds her arms.

Nqoba: oh we are back to that now huh?

Anesu: Nqoba instead of asking me all these

questions just tell me who was calling you so early
in the morning

Nqoba: I don't know the number but I sent it to

Vezo to find who it belongs to

Anesu: mmh
She turns her back on him and continues with what
he found her doing.

Nqoba: are still angry with me?

Anesu: who said I was angry?

Nqoba: why are you acting like this then?

Anesu: I just hate the fact that you can't trust me

with anything Nqoba

Nqoba: I trust you with everything baby

Anesu: just go to work I also have to meet up with

my tutor
Nqoba: I can't go to work while you are still like this,
can you atleast look at me

She turns around and looks at him straight in the

eyes.

Anesu: is that okay?

Nqoba: come closer...

he opens his arms and she rolls her eyes before

dropping everything, she walks closer to him and
stood in front of him with his hands on her waist.

Nqoba: I'm sorry for the way I acted

Anesu: I understand it's your phone and your

privacy
Nqoba: thank you for understanding

he packs her on the lips and she rolls her eyes with
a smile on her face .

Anesu: whatever...

Nqoba: Ngyakthanda yezwa MaNxumalo?

Anesu gave him a dead stare and looks into his

eyes, she doesn't like it when he calls her by her
real surname but when he looked at her with those
eyes after receiving that dead stare, the anger she
wanted to let out cooled down and he shoulder
relax.

He cups her left jaw with his hand and he pulls her
gave closer to his, she closed her eyes when their
lips slightly touched and he stares at her lips before
they collided. He pulls her lower lip and frenched
kissed her, she released a moan as he picks her up
places her on top of the closet island. The kiss got
heated as he kept grabbing and squeezing her
thighs, pulling her closer to feel his erection and she
didn't want to pull out but she had to since she saw
how things were slowly getting out of hand.

She looks at his lips as he still had his eyes closed,

he groans and opens his eyes.

Nqoba: when is mother nature freeing you?

Anesu: maybe next week

he squeezed her thigh.

Nqoba: I want to have you right now but...

he sighs moving back and helping her down.

Anesu: I will see you when you get back

Nqoba: okay

he looks at her as if he was waiting for something

and Anesu smiles.

Anesu: Ngyakthanda nami now go to work before

toy are late

Nqoba: I'm the boss baby I'm the boss

he kissed her forehead and he walks out, Anesu got

dressed and wore a pair of grey cargo pants with a
white sweater. She wore her white air force one
sneakers and she went through her phone viewing
the details Vezo sent her about her tutor, it
happens that the guy owns a tutoring company and
his name is Andile Ntshangase.

She had her breakfast and asked one of the drivers

to take her to Andile's company, she arrived there
and she went to his office.

She had to wait for him since he was on his way, she
sat down inside his office and already she could
smell his perfume in the room as he walked in
through the door with his manly intoxicating
cologne demanding that she turns around but she
doesn't.

He placed his beg on his desk and smiles looking at

Anesu.

Andile: Mrs Dube right?

Anesu shook her head.

Anesu: oh no it's Miss Mtshali

Andile: I'm sorry it's just that Vezo told me you were
his sister in law and I thought the maybe...

Anesu: I'm dating his brother

Andile: Zinathi?

Anesu: no Nqobuthand...uhm can we get started? I

have been waiting for a while now

Andile smiles.

Andile: I'm sorry I was stuck in traffic

Anesu: what matters is that you are here

Andile: okay so I will be your personal tutor and

Vezo has already brought in the gadgets you will be
using to study, we will meet on Wednesdays and
Fridays only the rest you will do online

Anesu: like online classes?

Andile: yes and after two months you will write

your matric and get your certificate

Anesu: just like that?

Andile: yes just like that

Anesu: let's get started then

They left Andile's office and went to this room
which looked like a class, they started with the
languages and they moved to the science subject
like maths, physics, Life science and Agriculture.

Andile looks at Anesu who was writing a small

maths test and he walks to her desk, he looks at
what she was writing and he smirks realising that it
might not take two months because she has all the
answers right.
.
.
.
Nqobuthando arrived at the office and first thing he
did was go to Vezokuhle's office of which he was
not in, he took out his phone while walking back to
his office and called Vezo.
he answered in the second ring.

Vezo: brother?

he breaths heavily.

Nqoba: you are not in your office where are you?

Vezo: I'm at my place....

Nqoba: what are you doing at your place aren't we

suppose to meet here at the office and...

he hears a moan and he froze.

Nqoba: are you having sex and talking to me?

Vezo: Fuck! I have to go

Nqoba: Vezo...

Vezokuhle hung up and Nqoba just shook his head,

he calls in his personal assistant and asked her to go
through his schedule today. She started talking
about the back to back meeting and conferences he
has to attend, it seems like she has a lot on her
plate.

Madison: ypu also having a meeting with Mr

Herman

Nqoba: is that all?

Madison: uhm...yes

Nqoba: you seem hesitant what's wrong?

Madison: while you were gone you received a call
from Mr M Zwide

Nqoba: who is that?

Madison: he is some Zimbabwean business man

and a Farmer, he is...well he was the best in the
business but he doesn't seem to be doing well? he
wanted to meet you and talk business but I told him
you weren't available

Nqoba: I'm not interested in any farming business

Madison: then you won't have a problem with him,

I will head back to work

Nqoba nods and Madison left, he started preparing

for his meetings and conferences. His brothers
joined in and helped him out in the business,
everything went smoothly and it was half past one
when they had their lunch.

They sat in Nqoba office and they ordered some

meat from the shisanyama Nathi owns, they sat
doing eating and Nqoba stood by the window on a
call with Anesu.

Anesu: how is work?

Nqoba: it's hectic I have a lot of work I need to do

Anesu: don't over work yourself baby

Nqoba: I'm used to this I will be fine, tell me how

was your first class?
Anesu: it was great I passed every test and Andile
tells me I will be done in a month and a half if I
continue with this phase

Nqoba: oh so I got myself a woman with brains

Anesu: every women has a brain

Nqoba laughs a little.

Nqoba: I might return home late tonight

Anesu: don't worry I already have plans with the

girls and I will be sleeping over at my apartment

Nqoba: you bought an apartment?

Anesu: to share with the girls yes

Nqoba: I tell you to use the money wisely and you
buy an apartment?

Anesu: it's my money not yours so stay out of my

business sir

Nqoba chuckles.

Nathi: hhayi you have been on that phone for

almost an hour and we are going to finish this food

He shouts and he laughs.

Anesu: you should go before he finishes the food, I

don't want my man starving

Nqoba: miss me
Anesu: you wish

She giggles and hung up, Nqoba walks to join his

brothers and he sat down on the couch.

Nathi: you are lucky they stopped me before i could

finish the whole thing

Nqoba: you don't love me and it's clear now

Nathi laughs and Nqoba starts eating.

Vezo: oh brother I forgot to tell you that I found

who the number belongs to, it's some woman back
from Eastern Cape called Gugu Nxasana
Nathi coughs when the beer he was drinking travels
through the wrong pipe.

Nqoba starts clenching his jaw.

Fiso: do you know the woman?

Nqoba: no I don't know her

Nathi: I think we should get back to work

Fiso: hold on a second aren't you the one who did

not feel like going back to work few seconds ago?

Nathi: I changed my mind I guess...

Vezo: Nathi you know something we don't about

this woman?
Nathi looks at Nqoba who shook his head and Fiso
did not miss that.

Fiso: why are you shaking your head?

Nqoba: Nathi is right we should get back to work we

have a lot we need to do

he stood up and something that wasn't suppose to

click, clicked in his head and he spits it out.

Vezo: is she one of your whores?

Nqoba: you know I don't have whore

Vezo: Nqobuthando if this woman was one of our

enemies she wouldn't have called you with a
number that was visible or the one we would be
able to track so this woman is someone you know...

Nqoba: it's none of your business

Fiso: did you cheat on Koti?

Nqoba: what kind of questions that? of course I

didn't cheat on her

he shouts and Vezo shook his head.

Vezo: I know you Nqoba and right now you are

lying, Zinathi did he fuck this so called Gugu
woman?

Nathi looks at Nqoba who gave him a dead stare.

Nathi: don't look at me like that wena I warned you
not to tap that at the Tarven and you did not listen
to me, look now she is calling you

Nqoba just clicks his tongue.

Fiso: how could you do Koti like that?

he shouts pouring his finger at Nqoba.

Nqoba: I made a mistake okay

Vezo: why was she calling you?

Nqoba: I don't know I blocked her and told her to

cut ties with me
Fiso: it's obvious she didn't want to cut ties with
you, how many times did you smash?

Nqoba:three times...I don't remember

Vezo: you don't remember? you do know hearing

that makes me want to punch you right?

Nqoba: you wouldn't dare

Vezo: Nqoba she the wife choosen by the ancestors

how can you be so careless? she is...She is special
and her specialness freaks me out sometimes
because it showed me a lot of flames while we were
dealing with the Sphiwe situation...after seeing her
dodge all those bullets can't you tell that she is
special? you cheated on her Nqoba and you are
going to have to lay down on that bed you made for
yourself because I know very well there ate
consequences coming your way
Nqoba: do you think I don't regret sleeping with
that woman? I was at my weakest okay and I
wanted to release some stress...I had no choice

Nathi: indlwabu mfethu shaya iDice one time bro

but don't cheat (masturbate bro play with that dice
one time bro)

Vezo: I'm disappointed in you and this time? I'm not

helping you out of any shit, when shut starts hitting
the fan? don't call me

he stood up and left, Fiso stood up and just shook

his head. Nathi just took some left meat on the
plate and he looks at Nqoba.

Nathi: I didn't mean to spill the beans kodwa nawe?

when you cheat make sure you cheat with a whore
with no brains because these ones with brains are
going to give you a huge problem

Nqoba: votsek Zinathi

he clicks his tongue as Zinathi walks out, he cursed

and sat back thinking about the decision he made.
He starts freaking out when the thought of losing
Anesu creeps into his head.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 58
ANESU MTSHALI.

She gathers her stuff and she was pleased with the
progress of her work so far, she walks to towards
the exit of the building and she heard Andile calling
her name. She turned on her foot steps and looks at
Andile who was walking in a fast phase to reach
where she was standing.

Anesu: Yes Mr Nxasana?

She asked once he was standing in front of her and

he just smiled because he doesn't like her calling
him in a formal way.

Andile: I told you that it's okay if you call me by

name

Anesu: Nothing is better then keeping things

professional at all cost

Andile: You are right...uhm I was busy with a small

meeting and are you heading out?
Anesu: Yes I'm going to meet with my friends

Andile: Do you want me to give you a ride?

Anesu: Thank you but I already have my driver

waiting for me outside

Andile frowns.

Andile: Okay then I guess I will see you on Saturday?

Anesu: Thank you once again

Andile: I'm just doing my job

He smiles and Anesu walks out the building, She

walks out and found the black BMW parked
outside. She greets the driver and asked him to take
her to Nqoba's place so she can grab her stuff. The
driver listened to the orders from the boss lady and
took her to Nqoba's house, she arrived and she
quickly rushed inside.

She starts packing a few things and once she was

done, she was about to walk out the room. She
walks downstairs and left the house with her night
beg, the driver took her to Mwandle's apartment
and when she arrived there she found Ntethe's car
parked outside the apartment.

She walks inside the gate and turns the door knob
walking inside the apartment, she found Mwandle
in the living room with this guy who had nails on
and they seemed to be chatting a storm with
Mwandle laughing out loud.
Ntethe walks back in the living room with a bottle of
wine in her hand and she screams when she saw
Anesu, she rushes to her and gave her a tight hug.

Ntethe: I missed you munchkin

Anesu: I missed you too Ntethe but I can't breath

Ntethe pulls out from the hug and took the beg
Anesu had in her hand, she led her to the living area
where she found her little sister chilling with this
stranger she doesn't know but her energy us telling
her otherwise.

Ntethe: I just missed you and I got a little bit excited

when I saw you

Anesu: Understandable, Sanbona

She greets Mwandle and the guy who was seated in
the couch.

Mwandle: Hey Sister, I thought you weren't coming

Anesu: I got caught up because I had to grab my

stuff from the house

Mwandle: Okay sisiter this is my friend Ayavuya, I

met him in one of my classes and we clicked so I
invited him over

Aya: It's a pleasure to meet you...I'm sorry but you

look like somebody I know I don't know if it's
because I miss her or what...

Anesu: Is it your girlfriend?

Aya: Oh no sweetheart I'm gay

Anesu looked at Aya with curiosity kicking in her
mind and Ayavuya just smiles widely.

Anesu: Gay?

Aya: Yes I'm interested in the opposite gender

Anesu: Okay that's cool, who do I look like though? I

want to know

Aya: You look just like my mother

He giggles with a smile on his face and Anesu just

smile.

Anesu: He must be beautiful then I guess

Aya: She's an angle trust me

Ntethe: Enough about parents so what are we going

to do tonight? because there no way we gonna sit
here the whole day

Anesu: We can watch a movie and sleep after wards

Ntethe: I love you best friend okay? But we can't be

doing that, we bed to loosen up

Mwandle: We need to loosen up and remember

that some of us are students

Anesu nods her head agreeing with Mwandle's

statement.

Ntethe: We are going to remember you hunnies but

when was the last time we had fun? I know we are
going to have insane on my bachelorette party but
we can't deprive ourselves the fun, come on guys

Ayavuya: We can go to thus party my boyfriend is

hosting at his house

Ntethe: Now he is talking to me

Anesu: is it a huge party or...

Ayavuya: You gonna find out when we get there

and trust me it's gonna be fun

Anesu: Though I'm not drinking

Mwandle: I guess we will go since Vezo won't be

here tonight
Anesu: Speaking of Vezo how are things going
between you two?

Mwandle starts blushing.

Ntethe: We can tell with those cheeks getting red

that something is honestly going down between
you two

Aya: She is even glowing

Mwandle giggles.

Mwandle: Well things are going great and the way

we can't get our hands off each other? Argh the
way he makes me feel safe around him and the way
he reassures me...
She covers her face with her hands and giggles even
more, everyone starts cheering her up and clapping
hands for her.

Anesu: Though he should not break your heart or

else I will kill him with my own hands

Mwandle just laughs.

Mwandle: I don't think you will even do that

because that man love me, I can see it in his eyes
when he slides himself inside me and...

Ntethe: Haa! Haa! Haa! Ibadi lethu, we did not ask

you about your sexual life haibo

Anesu: you gave it to him already?

Mwandle: my body decieved me

Aya: and there no convincing your body otherwise
when it starts showing that it wants some of it

Mwandle: girl!

She bites her lower lip and Anesu stood up, she
went to the bathroom to pee and t she saw that her
periods were over. Once she was done doing her
business she decided to go pour herself something
to eat either then alcohol since she doesn't like her
drunk side.
.
.
.
It got late and Ayavuya left because he had to go
get dressed for the party, the girls sat there for a
while and they were dancing while drinking. Anesu
was having her cranberry juice all the way but
without her alcohol she still had her moves shaking
her ass all the way with Ntethe behind her.

Ntethe: girl you gonna make me turn lesbain

She bites her lower lip and Anesu stood twerking,

she turned around to give Ntethe a dead stare.

Anesu: I will kill you

Ntethe: Girl you have the boobies and the ass

what's more to cry about? Your body is tea and...

Anesu: You are drunk

Ntethe laughs.

Ntethe: Yes I am
She nods and they laugh at her.

Anesu shook her head and decided to go shower,

the girls later joined in and they showered. They got
ready together and they wore matching outfits, the
colour of the day was red.

Anesu wore a micro mini tight dress with puff

shoulders, she looks at herself in the mirror as she
tied her hair into a neat pony tail. She wore a pair of
red pencil heels and did not apply any make-up, she
heads out applying lip gloss to her lips and found
the girls ready to go.

Mwandle: Girl those bow legs of yours

Anesu: I mean...
She giggles giving them a three sixty.

Ntethe: And those thighs

Anesu: Aww thank you guys, y'all look stunning and

girl those boobs...

She points at Ntethe's boobs which showed through

Plunging Neckline dress and Ntethe giggles.

There was a knock on the door and Mwandle went

to open the door only to find Ayavuya who was
dressed in bumshort and a crop top, he had a
weave installed with pair of heels on. One who does
not know how to identify a gay guy they would
mistaken him with a woman because from head to
toe everything in his body was tea.

Mwandle: Uyashisa babes

Aya: Wena? Uyisimokwe (you are smoking)

They laughed together at the door and they walk

inside house, Ayavuya started whistling when he
saw the girls and they just looked at her.

Aya: Relax I'm still gay

Anesu placed her hand on her chest in releaf and

Ntethe bursts into laughter which they all joined in.
They used Ntethes car which took them to the party
and the minutes they walked in Ayavuya
disappeared in the crowed.

Ntethe: I'm going to get us drinks

Anesu: Look for something that's non alcoholic

please
Ntethe: I got you baby

She disappeared in the crowed and Mwandle

started dancing to the loud music with her sister.
Ntethe came back with the drinks and the party
began, as they were dancing Anesu noticed Ayavuya
walking to to their direction hand in hand with a
cute guy who was wearing a cap and had a chill all
white outfit.

Aya: Girls I'm back I went to go get my man

"Ladies mantombazane."

Ntethe: Yebo sawbona...

Aya: Girls I would love you to meet Sinovuyo
Mwelase my boyfriend and baby these are my
friends Mwandle, Anesu and Ntethe

Them: Hey!

They said at the same time and they giggled making

Sinovuyo to laugh a little,They had some fun and
the girls were wasted except for Anesu. It got late
and they went back to the apartment, Anesu slept
alone in her room while Mwandle slept with
Ntethe.

It was in the middle of the night and Anesu was

tossing and turning in her bed, wind blowing inside
the room from the window she forgot to close. She
was sweating and her pillow was wet from all the
sweating, her eye brows furrowing as she wasn't
understanding what was happening in her dream.
Anesu: Nqoba!

She shouts his name and her tossing and turning got
worse this time, she was crying in her sleep and
opens her eyes with surprise Ntethe was walking
inside the room making her scream in shock.

Ntethe: Relax it's me

Anesu continued to breath heavily and Ntethe went

to close the window.

Ntethe: I just came to close the window since it was

making loud noise and I heard you calling out
Nqoba's name

She climbs on the bed and sat next to Anesu who

looked like she just saw a ghost.
Ntethe: was it a bad dream?

Anesu nods.

Ntethe: Do you want to talk about it?

Anesu: I don't know...I...I don't know

She starts crying as she pulled Ntethe closer so she

can comfort herself with her body, Ntethe got
worried immediately and pulled her even closer for
a hug.

Ntethe: What did you dream about?

Anesu: I don't know of it was a vision or a dream
but it felt so real and...I don't know how I should
feel about it

Ntethe: what was it?

Anesu: I saw Nqoba having sexual intercourse with

another woman in front of me and he fucked her
right in front of me as if he could not see me in the
room, I don't know what this dream means and at
the same time I don't know how I should feel about
it

Ntethe: maybe it's just a dream Anesu

Anesu: Ntethe you don't understand I don't just

have dreams which hold no meaning, everything I
dream about happens...I dreamt about my mother
saying her final goodbyes as if she was dead and
when I woke up she was indeed dead so tell me,
how am I suppose to take this dream when
everything I dream about turns out to be true?

Tears filled her eyes.

Ntethe: but honestly it might just be a dream that

holds no meaning, you should relax because we
both know Nqoba wouldn't cheat on you

Anesu: you are not him Ntethe, you don't live in his
mind and you most certainly don't know what he
does or think

Ntethe: but he does love you and if he truly loves

you he wouldn't do anything to hurt you, so you
should just trust him...

Anesu: I don't know if...

She quickly got up from her seat and rushes to the
bathroom, she starts vommiting on the toilet and
Ntethe walks in.

Ntethe: are you okay?

Anesu: yes I'm fine I just...

She vommits even more and she started crying as

she sat down on the cold tiles wiping her mouth,
she leans on the sink and cries.

Anesu: I don't know what is happening with me

Ntethe: you might have eaten something that did

not sit well in your stomach. Come on

Anesu cries even louder and Ntethe sighs.

Ntethe: Anesu you should get this dream out of
your mind because it's just a dream

Anesu: what if it turns out to be true?

Ntethe: it won't baby

Anesu: Nqoba has no idea how much I love him and

if any of this turns out to be true, I won't ever
forgive him

Ntethe: just focus on the bright side of things okay?

Anesu nods and Ntethe helps her get up from the

floor.

Ntethe: I will sleep with you okay?

Anesu: Thank you for being there for me

Ntethe: I'm your best friend and I will be always be

there for you love

Anesu: I love you Ntethe and don't ever change on

me

Ntethe: never in a million years bestie

They cuddled on the bed and Anesu couldn't sleep

because each time she closed her eyes she would
dream of the same thing over and over again. She
stopped seeing the dream when she started praying
and she also around half past three in the morning.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 59
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

I woke up early in the morning and I didn't get a

glimpse of sleep last night since I was busy with
work, I had to hold a meeting with my men that
work for me underground and check how things
were going. I also had to meet with clients to do
exchange and I arrived home around half past four
in the morning.

I had to wake up again and get ready for work

because we all know that money doesn't grow on
three, a person must be willing to work hard if they
want to continue living in luxury.

After taking a shower I walk out the bathroom and I

took my phone from the nightstand, I dailed my
woman's number since I miss her very much.
She answered on the second ring.

Nqoba: Babe good morning

Anesu: Morning Nqoba how are you?

Nqoba: I'm exhausted from work and I miss you

love when are you coming back?

Anesu: I was about to call you to come fetch me but

also I thought you would be heading to work by
now

Nqoba: I was about to head to work but I can pause

everything for you

Anesu: Okay that means you are coming?

Nqoba: send me your location baby I will be thete

Anesu: I will text it to you right now

Nqoba: Babe?

Anesu: Yes?

Nqoba: Are you okay? Something is off about your

voice my love

Anesu: it's nothing I just had troubles sleeping last

night

I can sense that she's lying to me.

Nqoba: Mind me asking why?

Anesu: I don't want to talk about it, I should get up
and pack my things

Nqoba: Okay I will be there in a few minutes

Anesu: Okay

Nqoba: I love you

She doesn't respond but drops the call which is

wierd but maybe she did not know I was not done
talking, still though that doesn't give her the right to
drop her phone like that.

I plug my phone in the charger and I optioned my

body, I got dressed and I wore a formal outfit which
was a pair of black trousers with a matching black
shirt.
I wore my shoes and gathered my files for work
from my study, my phone beeps receiving the
location from Anesu and I grab my car keys from
the counter then walked out.

I drove while listening to maskandi and I arrived at

the location, I wrote her a text telling her I was
outside and after a few seconds she came out with
her small beg.

I got out of the car and I leaned on it, she had eye
bags under her eyes and she looked tired. When I
opened my arms for her to hug me she went to the
back seat instead to put her stuff and later looks at
me.

Anesu: Can you please move so I can get in the car

Nqoba: Not even a small hug?

She gave me a side hug and the gave me a look

which was followed by a shrug.

Anesu: Is that okay?

Nqoba: does that feel okay to you? I get side hugs

now and that feels okay with you?

Anesu: Nqoba I'm sorry okay but I really am

stressed out with a lot of things and I have an online
class that's starting in a two hours on top of that I
need to take a shower and get a little bit of rest
since I didn't get enough sleep last night

I sighed and opened the door for her, these days I

just don't get her. If she's not being moody she
wants nothing to do with me and I don't know what
I did wrong to make her feel like this?

We drove in awkward silence as she was busy

onnher phone and we arrived at my place, I watch
her walk out the car and head inside the house. I
sigh and follow her inside.

Nqoba: Did you eat anything?

Anesu: No but I'm not hungry

She continues to climb the stairs and I sigh once

more, I decided to take out my phone and called my
personal assistant.

She answered.

Madison: Good morning boss

Nqoba: Morning Madison, how is my schedule
looking today?

Madison: It's not that much you have two morning

meetings and that's all but you have been receiving
a continues call from Mr M Zwide, he really wants
to talk to you

Nqoba: Okay call the clients and tell them a huge

emergency just came up so we will be moving our
meeting to this afternoon around half past five if
I'm unable to make it Zinathi will take over and give
Mr Zwide a call tell him that I'm agreeing to see him
tomorrow in the morning at seven and I will only
give him an hour since I have a lot of meetings to
attend tomorrow

Madison: I will do just that sir

Nqoba: Thank you

I hung up and walk upstairs to my room were I

found Anesu getting out of the shower with a towel
wrapped around her body.

I just took out the formal clothes I was wearing and

I wore a pair of shorts with a t-shirt, she looks at me
with a confused look.

Anesu: Are you not heading to work?

Nqoba: I won't go to work while things between you

and I are not fixed

Anesu: Really that was unnecessary

Nqoba: It is necessary babe I won't be able to

concentrate while I know that i left things sour in
the house between you and i, so yes I moved every
meeting I had and I'm here to fix whatever that's
broken between us and whatever that's bothering
you I'm here

She ignores me and she continues with what she

was doing which was drying her body, she lotions it
and she got dressed. She was wearing her top and
as she was wearing it, it tore on the side and she
cursed out loud.

She sat down on the bed and the next thing she was
crying, I got up from the small couch I was seating
on and I went to sit next to her.

Nqoba: Sthandwa sami...

Anesu: Don't Nqoba...

Nqoba: What is bothering you love?

Anesu: Last night I had a dream and in that dream

you were sleeping with another woman, I couldn't
see her face but I knew that it was a woman and
Nqoba I don't just see things like this unless I'm
being warned about something that has or will
happen. I was so hurt and I struggled with my sleep
almost the whole night because the I couldn't get
the image of you on top of another woman
groaning and...

She cries even louder and I felt guilty kicking in, I

made a huge mistake for letting temptations get to
me and the fact that she saw it happening in her
dreams is a sign that I have fucked up.

How are you suppose to tell the woman you love

that you cheated on her because you were having a
lot of stress and anger because of you family issues,
how am I suppose to tell her that I fucked the same
woman more then once because I was unable to
wait for her to give herself to me once the time was
right.

How am I suppose to tell her all this without losing

her? I am already in the buttom of fixing everything
it's just that I'm unable to find Gugu wherever she's
hiding and get to find out why she's calling me.

I also know what I'm about to do might make me

loose the woman I love entirely but I can't lose her
just because of one small hook up.

Nqoba: Baby I'm sorry you had to see all that but
honestly speaking I would never do anything to hurt
or ruin us, I know I'm not perfect and I have my
flaws and floor but I mean it when I say I love you
and I would never do something that will ruin what
we have...I can assure you that I have never and I
will never look at another woman the way I look at
you yet alone touch her the way I touch you

Anesu: I want to believe you trust me I do but

there's just something that keeps on telling me that
you are lying Nqobuthando and I can't just...*sighs*
I know it was a dream but my dreams always turn
out to be true so I'm giving you one last chance to
tell me the truth and even though I might not know
the whole story but if I ever find out that you lied to
me Nqobuthando and made me look like a fool, I
will leave...

Nqoba: Don't say it baby

I felt a lump on my throat and at the same time I

was to turn into a wizard so I can turn back the
clock.
Anesu: I will leave you Nqobuthando without
hesitation because it would be very clear that you
don't love me nor see me as your woman

Nqoba: Baby I'm sorry...

I can't tell her it will break her and I know how weak
she is in situations like these ones.

Anesu: You are sorry for what?

Her tears stream down her cheeks and I want to put

a bullet in my head right now.

Nqoba: I'm sorry you had to see that dream but it's
not true

Anesu: I know that I'm new in all this and

Nqobuthando you are my first love, I trust you more
then I trust myself and I love you more then I could
ever be able to explain into words because I can't
come up with enough words which will explain how
of a remarkable man you are. I don't want to lose
what we have which is us so please let's be honest
with one another in the future

Nqoba: I love you too baby and from now onwards I

will be honest with you

I pulled her into a hug and she squeezed me real

tight, we stayed like that for a almost five minutes
till she decides to pull out.

Anesu: I'm hungry...

She looks at me with those eyes of her and I got lost

in the ocean in her eyes, she bites her lower lip and
got on top of me with her arms on my shoulder.
Nqoba: I can make you food

Anesu: I don't want food I want something way

delicious then that

Nqoba: Is it? What do you want?

Anesu: I want you

Her hands move down to my shorts and she grabs a

hand full of my manhood, I jump a little and groan
while clenching my jaw.

Nqoba: We talked about you pushing my buttons

like this
Anesu: I'm not pushing any buttons I'm just telling
you what I want...

Nqoba: You do know that you are still on your

periods right?

Anesu: Mother nature went on a vacation and she

will be back next month

Nqoba: Really?

She nods biting her lower lip and I lift her up a little,
I made her lay on her back and got in between her
legs. It's funny how she chose to wear a skirt in this
situation which brought a smirk on my face.

Anesu: Why are you looking so happy?

Nqoba: I just love your outfit

Anesu: You love it because it's beautiful or it's giving
you enough access to touch your favourite parts on
my body

As she was talking she was slowly tearing her top

revealing her breasts which had hard nipples, I
became hard looking at those beauties and she
pulls my face closer to hers kissing me.

She locks her legs around my waist and I pressed my

hard self on her entrance, this woman does not
know how much she's pushing me and if I were to
Fuck her right now it would be over for her and her
precious juicy honeypot.

I pull out from the kiss and she looks at me with her
eyes half closed, I could tell that she was already
horny. I smirk and slide my hand inside her skirt
reaching her panty, I slide it to the side and she was
dripping wet which made me want to have myself
inside of her.

I slowly start playing with her clit and she gasped

with her mouth half open, she released a moan and
I pressed even hard on her clit making her moan
louder. I wanted to slide my finger pretty bad inside
her and make the her feel many more ways, she
looks at me in the eyes as I increased the phase. I
felt her whole body vibrating and I went slowly on
her clit, she grabs me tight pulling me closer to her
body and I felt her body getting tense. She looks at
me with a smile on her face as she cums and I
remove my finger licking them, she slides her hand
inside my shirts reaching out for my shaft.

She slowly gave it a stroke as she pulled it out

making me groan as it felt good, I placed both my
hands on the wall opposite me leaning on it as she
gave me a hand job that's out of this world. She
rubs my tip on her wet self and God! The way I
wanted to slide myself inside her as she did that
making me go crazy at the same time as she
moaned. I couldn't hold myself any longer I released
on her entrance, she moves her hand to her viginal
opening and she moved the hand back to her
mouth giving it a lick.

Anesu: You taste good

Nqoba: I should be saying that

She laughs and joins in as I collided next to her, she

fell asleep in my arms and woke up an thirty minute
later before her class. I made her something to eat
and I went to my study giving her some space to
work also.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 60
NARRATIVE.

A huge yard with a double story house with security

guarding the house in different angles, the grass so
green as if nobody has ever sat foot on it. The sky's
colour started changing from being blue to being a
combination of blue, yellow and orange. This was a
sign that it was morning.

Inside the house the living room was empty and so

was the kitchen, if you were to walk inside the
house you would think that nobody was inside but
as you climb the glass stairs you would hear groans
and moans coming from one of the room which had
it's door slightly open.

Ntethe had her bare back turned at the door with

her hands on the dash board of the bed balancing
herself as she effortlessly rides Fiso like a fully
experienced and trained porn star not that she was
ever one. He had his hands on her waist slowly
moving her in circular motions making him want to
nut instantly but he wasn't done, he wants this
feeling to last a little bit longer.

He enjoys having her walls clenched around his

shaft.

Ntethe: Fuck!

She cursed bouncing her ass up and down making

his grabs her butt cheeks gently parting them from
one another as he went in deeper and moving up
and down beneath her. He wanted control since he
had a lot of things in his mind he wanted to do to
her, he bites her lower lip and grabs both her thighs
flipping her over making him the one to be on top.
She looks into his eyes with so much fear of what
was about to happen to her, he pulls put and she
moans. He licks his hand and smacked her opening
before lifting her one leg placing it on his shoulder,
he hissed as he started rubbing himself onnher
entrance.

Ntethe: Put it in already

She begs as she breaths heavily and he entered her

unexpectedly starting off with a slow phase while
his half way inside her.

Ntethe: Ohhh babe! ahhh

She moans as he slides in fully penetrating her really

bed making her uterus lose its complete shape, he
gave her a hard thrust and gave her another one.
She cries out loud as he quickens the phase not
having mercy on her, he groans as he thrusts in
deeper each time making both their skin to collide
with each other making a clap which filled the
room.

Ntethe: Fisokuhle...

She moans out his name and he groans, he lifts up

her second leg and it was over for her. She couldn't
handle his roughness anymore, she gently pushed
him off as she cums with her whole body shaking.
He held her butt from underneath and pulled her
closer to him, he entered her once again and
started Fucking the her soul out of her leaving her
weak. He was about to climax and he went in
slowly, he grabs her neck and gave her a deep
thrust making her cry tears of pleasure and joy as
they both released at the same time.

He colups next to her and made her lay on his chest,

they were both breathing heavily.
Ntethe: Baby what did you eat last night that gave
you that much energy? Phew baby you are never
like this...

Fiso: I ate you last night and I was not fully fed last
night so I had to go for a morning treat before
heading out for work

Ntethe: About work baby you are always busy and

you seem to forget that we are having our wedding
next month yet you haven't given me the chance to
run you through the plans I have made so far, you
are making it seem like I'm getting married to
myself whereas in getting married to you Fisokuhle
and trust me I love you baby but we can't go on like
this

Fiso: we have clients and...

Ntethe: so your clients are important then your
wedding and I?

Fiso: That is not what I was trying to say?

Ntetha: What were you implying then?

Fiso: I'm just trying to say that work is a lot and...

Ntethe: You know what? I don't feel like hearing

your excuses anymore, I will do the wedding plans
and I will get married to myself hope that makes
you happy

She removes his hands around her and she climbs

out of bed heading to the bathroom to take a
shower, Fiso sighs when he heard the sound of
water pouring on the tiles and he got up from the
bed.
He walks inside the bathroom and found her naked
on the shower, he instantly got hard and he cursed
walking inside the shower. He hugs her from behind
and kissed her right shoulder as the water poured
on both of them.

Ntethe: You are really unfair sometimes babe

Fiso: I know and I'm sorry how would you feel if I

cancel my meeting today and tomorrow so we can
go through the wedding plans together?

Ntethe: You don't have to cancel your plans

because of me, you can go to work I don't mind but
what I was trying to tell you is that this is our
wedding not mine alone
Fiso made her turn around to face him and she just
pouts then giggles, she puts on a straight face
realising that he just allowed him to make her melt
just like that.

Fiso: I saw that smile there's no need to hide it

Ntethe: I wasn't smiling you are just seeing things

Fiso: Babe?

Ntethe: Yes?

Fiso: I'm not cancelling my plans because you forced

me into doing it or made me feel guilty but because
you are my woman and I can see how wrong I have
been acting concerning our wedding, I haven't been
paying much attention to us and our wedding which
makes me feel sad that you are doing all this hard
work alone whereas we both are getting married so
please forgive me love

She wraps her arms around his neck and he brought

his face closer to his, he was focused on her lips.

Ntethe: You do know that I can't stay angry at you

for long?

Fiso: Either can I phela wena you are my back nine

and without you I'm completely useless

Ntethe: That sounds cheesy

Fiso: How does this sound then?

He says his hands moving to her vagina and slowly

brushing it, a small smile creeps into her face and
she shook her head.
Ntethe: I'm still recovering from last night and this
morning

Fiso: One last round baby I won't take long I just

want to be inside you and feel you wrap your warm
wet self around me...

As he spoke his erection grew harder and harder,

she could feel his shaft poking her on her stomach
and his eyes were already red and looking lazy.

Ntethe: Do you want me to confess?

Fiso: I'm all ears Mrs Dube

Ntethe blushes.
Ntethe: I also want you buried inside me and
touching all those right places till I let out all my
juices...I want him inside me

She grabs his shaft and he groans.

Fiso: Say no more

He grabs her behind her neck making her turn

around and pinned her face against the wall gently
with both her hands on the wall, she arches her
back a little and parts her legs. He rubs himself
behind her and whispered to her ear, he slowly
entered inside her ad he whispered.

Fiso: I'm so glad I have you as my woman and I love

you to the moon and back...

She moans as he entered her.

Ntethe: I love you too...ahhh

...

They sat in the living room and Ntethe had her

wedding plan book in hand, showing Fiso all the
plans she had already had and Fiso listened to her
as she spoke.

Fiso: Why are you being simple? You know I can

give you a bug wedding if you want one right?

Ntethe: I don't care about a huge wedding I just

want our families to be together and weakness our
moment ad we tie the knot, that's the only thing
that would matter to me

Fiso: I hear you babe

Ntethe: You don't have a problem with a small
wedding right?

Fiso: Yes but before that I Thu k we should have an

engagement party to have our families along with
our friends together

Ntethe: That sounds like a great idea I wasn't even

thinking of it

She giggles and kissed him on the lips.

Ntethe: This is why are love you because you are a

handsome, sexy man with brains

Fiso: Sexy you say huh?

He leans over for a kiss and they kissed for a few
seconds till she pulled out.

Ntethe: Baby not now behave

Fiso: Yebo MaDube

Ntethe's cheeks flush and she rolls her eyes.

Ntetha: Look at these flowers, how did they look

and which ones do you love?

Fiso: The blue looks beautiful but it seems to much

so I'm going with white
Ntethe: I was thinking the same thing blue looks a
little bit dramatic and it's a no no, so we are picking
white

Fiso: oh I love this suit

Ntethe: I know you showed me this one online after

three months of dating and you told me you would
wear this suit on our wedding day

Fiso: You saved it?

Ntethe: For you yes I did

Fiso pulls her for a hug.

Fiso: Aww I appreciate you baby

Ntethe: Thank you babe

The kissed.

Ntethe: Oh baby haven't you noticed anything

wierd between Nqoba and Anesu?

Fiso: No why?

Ntethe: I kmow we don't talk about other people

relationships but this one concern me, Anesu had a
dream last night and in that dream she saw Nqoba
cheating on her and by the looks of things she
thinks it was true

Fiso clears his throat.

Fiso: I love this dress for you

He changes the subject and Ntethe looks at him.

Ntethe: Baby no don't do that

Fiso: Do what?

Ntethe: Changing the subject

Fiso: I wasn't I just having nothing to say because

my brothers business isn't mine but even if he had
cheated on her it's none of our business so we must
not involve ourselves

Ntethe sighs.

Ntethe: You are right I shouldn't have asked, let's

continue with this then...
.
.
.
It's now the afternoon time and Nqoba is
exhausted, he has been busy attending meeting
with his clients and he just came out of his forth
meeting. Money keeps flowing in his accounts and
his stomach grumbles as he sat down on the his
chair, his personal assistant Madison walks in.

Madison: sir sorry to bother you I just brought in

these documents

Nqoba: Thank you

She smiles and she was about to walk out.

Nqoba: Madison...
He calls.

Madison: Yes sir?

Nqoba: How much do I pay you per month?

Madison: Twenty five thousand

Nqoba: I will double that have a good day

Madison's fave was written with shock.

Madison: Excuse me sir?

Nqoba: you heard me Madison, you have been

great help in this company and this is my way of
thanking you always sticking by my side
Madison: Sir I'm just doing my job you can't...

Nqoba: I can because I'm your boss now leave my

office I want to give a call to my wife

Madison: Thank you sir

Nqoba nods and Madison walks out.

Nqoba took out his phone and he called Anesu, she

answered on the first ring.

Anesu: Nzwakele?

Nqoba: MaDube...

Anesu: We are not married...

She paused.

Anesu: Yet

She giggles and Nqoba smiles alone.

Nqoba: How are you?

Anesu: I'm good just missing you and yourself?

Nqoba: I'm missing you way more then you miss me

Anesu: So wassup?

Nqoba: I'm caught up with a lot of work and I

haven't eaten since morning worst part I'm
exhausted so can you bring me lunch wifey?
Anesu: Don't call me that till you put a ring on it
baby

Nqoba: I'm still thinking about it

Anesu: Still thinking? Hee! Hope you don't think till

the time is late

Nqoba: Late for what?

Anesu: I'm joking I will see you in a few

Nqoba: You are the best

Anesu: I know

He smiles hanging up and Nqoba got busy with his

work documents, few minutes later the door opens
and Anesu walks in. She was dressed in a black
sundress with a pair of heels, she had a medium
sized lunch beg in her hand.

She walks to his table with a smile on her face.

Anesu: Did I dress up well?

She turns around and he dress slightly lots revealing

her bums but she does not have a problem, Nqoba
just bites his lower lip and he laughs alone.

Nqoba: You look stunning, come give me a kiss

She giggles and she walks to the other side of the

table, she sat on top of his lap and he placed his
hand on her thighs. Her stomach filled with
butterflies loving the hand placement, She leans
over for a kiss and they kiss each other in a way that
things started rising, things started getting wet,
things started getting really hard and the spirit of
being horny kicks in.

She pulls out from the kiss.

Anesu: I brought your favorite

She got up from his lap and went to the other side
of the table, she took out a lunchbox with spur ribs
and wings. Another lunch box with bungers and
Nqoba smirks.

Nqoba: You ordered huh?

Anesu: No I did not

Nqoba: Angeke ngikuphikise mama

Anesu: That is good

Nqoba: You are a life saver

They moved to the small simple dinning area of the

office and they sat down eating their food, Anesu
kept humming while she enjoys the ribs and burger.

Nqoba: Did you hear about Fiso's engagement

party?

Anesu: Yes Ntethe told me

Nqoba: Oh okay

Anesu: Baby do you mind me asking?

Nqoba: I'm listening

Anesu: Where you ever in love with someone

before me?

Nqoba: Back then I was not the loving type but

when I met you all that changed

Anesu: So you have never been in love

Nqoba: I have but I never gave love a chance

Anesu: Why?

Nqoba: I don't know I guess I was just enjoying the

fun

He shrugs.
Once they were done eating Anesu packed
everything back into the lunch beg, she zips the
lunch beg and she felt him breathing on her neck
behind her.

Anesu: Nqobuthando...

Nqoba: You really look beautiful in that dress which

makes me want to...

He slides his hand under neath her dress and her

breathing changes, she bites her lower lip and he
moves his hand to her front area. He slides her
panty to the side and she pushes him with her ass,
she turns around and looks at him in the eyes
cupping his left jaw with her hand.

Anesu: We are in your office

Nqoba: I'm aware of that my love

Anesu: This is your work place and anyone can walk

in here any moment

He reaches for a button underneath his desk and he

pressed it locking the door, he looks at her with his
eyes yearning for her.

Nqoba: Nobody will be disturbing us now

Anesu: Pick me up

She wraps her arms around his neck and he lifts her
up, she looks into his eyes and she took his hand
directing it to her private area making her moan as
he slides his hand inside her panty.
Nqoba: I love the way you are always ready for me

She moans tossing her head back as he starts

rubbing her clit, he fights the urge to slide a finger
inside her once more and he was about to slide a
finger when there was a knock on the door.

He groans moving away and licks his fingers, he

pressed the button unlocking the door and Madison
walks in.

Madison: I'm sorry to disturb you Sir and you ma'am

but your Mr Zwide is here

Anesu was not paying attention as she was busy

fixing herself and you could not miss the frustration
written on Nqoba's face but he remains cool as he
wipes his hands with wipers just to be clean for the
sake of his client.
Msawenkosi walks in and he went to shake Nqoba's
hand.

Nqoba: Mr Zwide

Musa: It's a pleasure to finally meet you and thank

you for agreeing to have this meeting with me

Nqoba: It's okay...uhm love

Anesu: I will be out soon

She says her eyes glued on her phone.

Musa: This is your wife?

Nqoba: I would like her to be one some day, this is
the love of my life Anesu

Anesu smiles widely as she turns and her face

became cold ad her whole body froze, she looks at
Msawenkosi and a part of her knows that she has
seen this man somewhere but she rubs the thought
out of her head.

Anesu: It's nice to meet you sir

Musa: The pleasure is all mine

The shook hands and Anesu stopped blinking as she

was taken to a whole different universe in the back
of her head, she was standing in the room watching
the man crying as her small casket was being
dropped down the ground for burial.
She came back to reality and quickly moved her
hand from Msawenkosi's.

Anesu: I need to go

Musa nods and took a seat, Anesu was taking her

things from the table in a quick phase as if she was
in a rush and her phone slipped put of her hand.

Nqoba picks it up for her and placed his hand on her

shoulder with worry all over her face.

Nqoba: Are you okay?

Anesu: Ye...Yes yes I'm okay

She took the phone from his hand and she walks
out in a hurry with, she stops inside the elevator
and she breaths out heavily with tears filling her
eyes.

Anesu: it can't be him

She shook her head continuously.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 61
MSAWENKOSI ZWIDE.

His heart was racing in an abnormal way as he did

not know how the meeting will turn out, he only
wants what is best for his family and him failing as a
father is something he hates to the core.
He lands at the airport in the early times of the
morning and he had a car which was kindly hired by
Nqoba to pick him up, the driver took him to
Nqoba's hotel where he was booked to stay. Once
he arrived in his room he orders himself some
breakfast and sat down outside the balcony and
enjoys the view.

He sat there busy enjoying his food and as he stares

outside his phone rang on the table, he picks it up
and looks at the caller then he scoffs rolling his
eyes. You could see that he was annoyed and was
not looking forward into answering the call but he
had no choice.

He answers and placed the phone on his left ear.

Musa: Bonisiwe?

Bonisiwe: My love how are you?

Musa: Calling me by name would be much better,
I'm good yourself?

Bonisiwe: I'm also good

Musa: What do you want and why did you call me

because I thought i made myself clear when I told
you not to call me unless it was an emergency?

He asked.

Bonisiwe: I'm calling you because I am worried,

Zama doesn't want to go to school to apply and I
can't force her Msawenkosi just allow her to go
back to her boarding she is still a child and...

Musa: Uzwa ngengane wena manje? Usuzwa

ngengane wena Bonisiwe? (You are taking orders
from a child now? You are taking orders from a
child Bonisiwe?)

He raised his pitch and closed his eyes collecting

himself, he does not want anything to ruin his mood
today.

Bonisiwe: That is not what I'm trying to say...

Musa: What are you trying to say then? Because we

both know that there is no money, Zama is sixteen
year old and she is a grown as girl...

He paused.

Musa: You are going to take her to that school to

register and I want to see her new uniform first
thing when I arrive back at home, no child of mine is
going to disobey my order wena uma uzozwa
ngengane it's fine but I won't, I have a lot I need to
do and I don't have time for your nonsense

Bonisiwe: Okay fine

Musa ends the call and he breaths out sitting back,

he stood up and decided to take a short nap.

He woke up after his shirt nap and he took a quick

shower, his meeting was in less then twenty
minutes and he did not want to be late. He got
dressed and wore one of his best suits, he looked
super good and he smiled alone.

He took his file from the bed and he took an

elevator which took him down to the reception
area. He walks out and found Nqoba's driver
waiting for him. He got inside the car and it took
him to the Dube company building, he was taken to
Nqoba's office by his personal assistant.
The large looking blur glass door opens and the
personal assistant was the first to walk inside the
office, when he sat foot inside the office the
atmosphere suddenly changes as he felt a very huge
and powerful presence in the room though he was
not sure where it came from.

Madison: I'm sorry to disturb you Sir and you ma'am

but your Mr Zwide is here

He thought that maybe it was his nerves playing

games with him, he found Nqobuthando with a
woman and he laughs a little to himself seeing the
announce written on his face and he knew that he
disturbed something.

Nqoba went to his professional mode.

Nqoba: Mr Zwide

Musa: It's a pleasure to finally meet you and thank

you for agreeing to have this meeting with me

Nqoba: It's okay...uhm love

Anesu: I will be out soon

She says her eyes glued on her phone and looking at

her side view Msawenkosi lifts up his one eyes brow
as he saw a resemblance of someone in her.

Musa: This is your wife?

Nqoba: I would like her to be one some day, this is

the love of my life Anesu
Anesu smiles widely as she turns and her face
became cold ad her whole body froze, she looks at
Msawenkosi and their eyes locked.

Anesu: It's nice to meet you sir

Musa: The pleasure is all mine

He was still confused as to where he might have

seen her because she looks familiar to him,
something inside him felt a strong connecting
between them and he noticed that she someone
felt that connection which might have been the
reason she started acting wierd...He thought to
himself.

Anesu quickly rushes out and Nqoba looked worried

for a second, he relaxes and looks at Me Zwide.
Nqoba: You can take a seat

Musa: Thank you

He sat down and Nqoba also took his seat opposite

him, They meeting began.

Musa: Once again thank you for agreeing to meet

with me and I know how much of an annoyance I
was when I continuously called you...

Nqoba laughs a little then went back to his straight

face.

Musa: But we can both agree that you never give up

till you get what you want

Nqoba: How can I help you Mr Zwide?

Musa: I'm sure you have seen my file and got to see
how the numbers have dropped

Nqoba laughs once more.

Nqoba: I'm sorry continue

Musa: I'm a great business man and I do admit that

my business hasn't been doing well in a couple of
years, I have been going through hell and you might
see this as a joke like everyone has been seeing it
but I know you are a man of honour and you won't
laugh at another mens downfall

Nqoba: Unless his my enemy

Msawenkosi paused and Nqoba smirked finishing

his sentence.
Nqoba: Which you are not, I'm listening

Musa: I want to sell 10 percent of my company

shares from one of my children to you

Nqoba: you just said that your business it not doing

well so what makes you think I would want to buy
shares of a company whose numbers are decreasing
like the temperature in the north pole tell me

Musa: because I don't want to be a failure of a

father, I need to send my daughter back to school
and I need to...

Nqoba: don't start with your sympathetic reasons I

don't care whatever heart break or whatever you
might be going through, you are a man and you
forgetting about your pride and finding the courage
to plead for help from another man shows how
much of a great man you are so I will buy those
shares and I will come by next month after my
brothers wedding to view your land and maybe we
might find a solution to your problem

Musa: Thank you Mr Dube

Nqoba: Nqobuthando is just fine sir

Musa: since we are on first name bases I'm Musa

short for Msawenkosi

Nqoba: where do I sign?

He took out his pen and clicked it ready to sign,

Msawenkosi took out the contract he had written
down and Nqobuthando viewed it for a few minutes
then he signs the paper.
Nqoba: I have a something that tells me I should
trust you

Musa: what's there not to trust?

He laughs and Nqoba got up from his seat, he went

to his whiskey collection and poured two glasses.
He walks back to Musa and hands him the glass, he
smirk as he was about to make a toast.

Nqoba: what is your surname again?

Musa: it's Zwide

Nqoba: it's a pleasure doing business with you Mr

Zwi...wait...
He paused and looks at Msawenkosi remembering
Anesu's actual surname, a thought came to his head
and he paused.

Musa: is everything okay?

He snaps out of it.

Nqoba: Everything is just fine cheers!

Musa: Cheers!

Nqoba quickly stopped smiling and drank his

whiskey in one go, his finger taps the empty glass as
he was deep in his thoughts. He fakes a smile when
Musa complements his taste in whiskey.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 62
NARRATIVE.

Nqoba took a decision which was to knock off early

from work so he can be with his woman, once the
clock struck half past four he got up from his seat
and he gathered the files he will be working on at
home late at night. He locked his office and took an
elevator which took him to the down floor, he walks
out the building and unlocks his Porsche.

He got inside his Porsche and he drove home, he

arrives and he parks his car inside the garage with
his other cars. He steps out and used the garage
door which led him to the main house.
He was welcomed by a mouth watering aroma
which came from the kitchen, a smile creeps into
his face as he placed his brief case and blouse on
the couch. He made his way to the kitchen where
he found Anesu preparing dinner, she was focused
on what she was doing and he as amazed that she
was able to mix the ingredients to bring out a
aroma that screams hunger to his stomach.

Nqoba: My love

Anesu smiles lifting up her head for a few seconds

and looks down back at her pots.

Anesu: Evening babe, you are back early

Nqoba: Yes I am I just missed you and wanted to

spend time with you this evening only to receive
such a suprise
He hugs her from behind and she tilts her head a
little knowing what will come next, he smirks and
plants a wet kiss on her neck with his arms still
wrapped around her.

Nqoba: It smell nice in here what are you making?

Anesu: I'm making Ox tale and some rice with a few

salads

Nqoba: you finally learnt your way around the

kitchen huh?

Anesu: What are you trying to imply about me? Are

you trying to tell me that I cannot cook?

Nqoba: well we both know you can't

Anesu: Okay remove your hands from me

She says in a angry tone and Nqoba laughs.

Nqoba: Ngyadlala hawu (I'm joking) can't I no longer

make jokes now?

Anesu: Jokes were you degrade me and...

Nqoba moves his hands around her and he makes

her turn around to look at him in the eyes with his
fingers on her chin, lifting her head up to meet his
eyes.

Nqoba: That is not what I meant and if it did not sit

well with you I apologise, I was just trying to be
funny

Anesu: Uyabhora ke
She turns around and continues with the pots,
Nqoba chuckles and leans on the counter looking at
her his eyes focused on her ass which looked
perfect in her pyjamas shorts which reviewed her
butt cheeks.

Anesu: Stop looking at me

Nqoba inhales deeply and bites his lower lip, he

looks down at his pants and his somebody was
already pleased at the sight before his eyes.

Nqoba: You look beautiful tonight

Anesu: I'm sure that a complement meant for my

ass but I will take it, thank you

She smirks and Nqoba smiles.

Nqoba: Do you need assistance?

Anesu: I can manage I'm nearly done by the way but

thank you baby

She turns around and pecks him on the lips, she

turns back and turns off the stove.

Nqoba: I will go take a shower and the I will join you

in a few

Anesu: Okay love

He kissed her on the cheek and he went upstairs, he

took a quick warm shower and wore his sweat
pants. He went downstairs shirtless with a short on
his left shoulder, he found Anesu seated on the
couch staring at the blank wall as if something as
bothering her.

Nqoba: Baby are you okay?

He kissed her on the forehead and she snaps out of

her thoughts, she fakes a smile and looks at Nqoba.

Anesu: I'm fine can we eat? Are you ready? Okay

lets to

She stood up in a quick way attempting to avoid

him since he was sensing that something was
bothering her, he grabs her arm and looks at her in
the eyes.

Nqoba: Are you sure you are okay?

Anesu: I'm fine relax

He lets her go and they sat down at the dinner
table, they had dinner. He sat opposite her and he
kept taking a sip on his red wine, he enjoyed his
food but also he was concerned about Anesu
because she seemed lost in her world of thoughts.

Nqoba: Okay I'm tired of the silence, come here

Anesu: What?

Nqoba: Bring your plate and come sit next to me

Anesu complies and stood up from her seat, she sat

next to Nqoba who pulled the chair closer to him.

Nqoba: I have been watching you play with your

food for hours now and I wanted go enjoy this
evening but you are making everything sour so, tell
me what is bothering you?

Anesu: I'm sorry I did not mean to ruin the evening

for you, I just have a lot on my mind...

Nqoba: a lot on your mind about Mr Zwide

Anesu looks at Nqoba in the eyes which soften.

Anesu: How did you...

Nqoba: You are my woman and I know you, I

noticed how wierd you were acting when you met
Mr Zwide and I know that you think that he is your
father and I have Vezo looking for information
about him to confirm and...
Anesu: That information is useless because he is my
father Nqobuthando, I just met the man who
abandoned me and I saw him Nqoba...when I shook
his hand I saw everything once again

Nqoba: Are you sure?

Anesu: I'm very sure Nqoba

Nqoba: So what do you want to do now?

Anesu: what do you suppose I do?

Nqoba: reconnect with them and...

Anesu: stop right there, I'm not about to reconnect

with people who had a burial for me, people who
abandoned me...my mother died last year and I
never knew my father so I wish for everything to
stay like that, I don't want to reconnect or anything
because I have been through a lot and I'm not ready
for drama so no thank you. They should stay where
they are and I will do the same, I don't need them
and I'm pretty sure they don't need me

.
.
.
Msawenkosi arrives on his private airport, he had
his driver waiting for him. The driver took him to
the palace and he was in a very good mood that his
reasons to travelling was a success. He got out of his
car and when he was about to take things from
inside the car when he was approached by the royal
seer who a wide Colgate smile on his face.

Chumuka: My King is walking around with strong

energy all over him
Musa: Of course there is strong energy because our
lives will change

Chumuka: No no no forget about that, I'm talking

about the one whom you met today not the
business man but the woman whom you felt
connected to the minute you saw her

Musa: I'm lost

Chumuku: Come to my randovel I have something i

need to show you

Musa did not ask any future question he followed

Chumuka to his randovel, they both took off their
shoes and got inside. Chumuka started lighting
some insense and he burps as he starts chanting the
ancestors clan names, Msawenkosi was seated on
the grass mat feeling confused.
Chumuka: It's been years and since you have
already met her even though you are not fully
aware as to who she might be to you but you fully
deserve to know the truth

Musa: what Truth? Who is this SHE...

He qoutes with his finger in the air.

Musa: You keep talking about

Chumuka: I don't want to say it to you through

words so I believe that it's best you see it for
yourself

He paused and sighs, he stood up taking the cows

skin which was white all over. He asked Msawenkosi
to take off his clothed and lay on the cattle skin, he
closed his eyes and Chumuka starts took the clay
plate which had burning insense. He waves it on top
of his body and directs Msawenkosi to close his
eyes, he does as he was told and Chumuka started
chanting something Msawenkosi could not
understand because it was a foreign language he
has never heard before, in a split of a second
Msawenkosi was fast asleep though his soul and
spirit was in another place.

[IN MSAWENKOSI'S HEAD]

He stood still in his room which had a different

design then the one he has right now, that's when
he realised that it was his room design few years
ago. He heard Bonisiwe's screams and he snaps
turning his head to see where the scream came
from, Bonisiwe was in the bed giving birth and
Msawenkosi widens his eyes ad everything felt like
dejavu.
He stood there watching closely because he was
never there to weakness everything so thus us his
moment to see what fully went down the day he
lost his heir to the throne. Even though the sight
brought back his tears which started streaming
down his cheeks as he felt like he was going through
the pain of losing his daughter once more.

He was curious at the same time as to why

Chumuka was showing him all this, he watched
closely as Bonisiwe struggled to give birth as the
rain poured heavily outside with lightning striking
ad if the gods above were angry at something.
Bonisiwe finally gave birth and Musa chokes on his
silivia as he heard her little daughter crying, he
swallows the lump on his throat and wipes his tears.

He watched as they hand Bonisiwe the baby and he

elevates his eyes brow as he was shocked and
surprised as to how she responded to seeing the
baby. He clenched his jaw line and formed a fist
with both his hands.

Musa: but she told me the baby died the minute

she came out of her womb

He whispers to himself and he walks closer to the

bed, looked at how beautiful his little angle was and
his blood started boiling when he heard the vile
words she was saying to her own baby. He watches
as he orders the maiden to take the baby away and
he tried to snatch the baby from the maiden who
left with her but he couldn't because he was more
like a ghost standing there unable to do anything.

...
[BACK TO THE RANDOVEL]
Chumuka stood up on his two feets and he had his
hands on top of his head as he didn't know what to
do when he saw Msawenkosi shaking
uncontrollably. He saw the veins popping on his
forehead and he started sweating, Chumuka quickly
placed the clay plate down on the floor and went
down on his knees.

He starts shaking the king as he got worried that his

spirit and soul might not return to the land of the
living, he did a silent prayer and in the middle of his
prayer Msawenkosi shot his eyes open and sat up
straight trying to catch his breath.

Musa: SHE LIED TO ME!

He shouts with his eyes bloodshot.

Chumuka: I wanted to tell you but the ancestors

forbade me, they told me that when I felt like it was
right I should tell you and after feeling her energy
all over you I felt that it was time to tell you the
whole truth

Musa: All this time Chumuka, She told me a lie and

made me live with that lie? Who does she think she
is?

He half shouts and Chumuka had his head on his

shoulder trying to calm him down.

Chumuka: You need to calm down and...

Musa: I'm not about to calm down, do you know

how it feels to be betrayed? I feel betrayed right
now and most importantly I feel like an idiot

He got up and started dressed once he was done he

storms out of the randovel, he pushed the front
door open. The living room and dining area was still
empty, he was sure that they were still asleep but
he did not care. He marches upstairs and he barged
into his room only to find Bonisiwe fast asleep, he
clicks his tongue and went straight to the bathroom.

Musa: This woman doesn't know who I am

He chuckles and took a twenty five litre bucket, he

fills the bucket with cold water and carried it to the
bedroom. He stood right in front of Bonisiwe who
was fast asleep and he pours the whole bucket on
her sleeping self.

She woke up breathing heavily as if she was

drowning, she looks up at him and cursed getting up
from the bed.

Bonisiwe: Msawenkosi wtf! Are you crazy?

Musa: Yes I'm crazy

Bonisiwe: You came back all this way to pour cold

water on me, this is how you treating me Musa?
You don't respect me that much huh? I sleeping
around not enough for you now you have to wake
me up by pouring a bucket of cold water on me?

Musa did not pay her any hid, he just flipped the
bucket over and her sat on top of it. He looks at her
and you could see he wasn't about go play games
with her, you knew that with that look he received,
he was on Gangster mode.

Musa: Today I'm either in the mood nor even ready

for your nonsense so I'm going go be a gentle man
and I will give you two chances to tell me the truth
or else I will show you who I am exactly
He breaths with his eyes closed trying to control his
temper and Bonisiwe had no clue what was
happening. She rolls her eyes thinking Musa was
joking and was just forcing things not knowing that
behind that handsome gentleman he is, There is a
monster which she just woke up.

Bonisiwe: I don't have time for this I need to take a

shower and clean up this mess

She stood up and Musa gave her the most scariest

side eye.

Musa: Sit your Flat useless bum down

She sat back down.

Bonisiwe: What do you...

Musa: What happened to my daughter?

Bonisiwe: Zama went to school and registered even

though I had to force her, she did not knowing
and...

Musa: I'm talking about the first born daughter of

this family

Bonisiwe: She died Musa what kind of question is

this?

She laughs a little as her heart starts to race, Musa

did not show a single smile.

Musa: you have one last chance, what happened to

my daughter?
Bonisiwe: Musa you are really heartless for doing
this, I lost our daughter and..

She could continue her sentence because Musa was

in front of her in a split second with his hand on her
neck pinning her against the wall, he looks into his
eyes.

Musa: I gave you two chances and you lied to me,

how long are you going to keep on telling me this lie
huh? Don't you think I know that you told one of
the maiden that helped you give birth to get rid of
MY DAUGHTER because you did not like the way
she looked...you have the audacity to call me
heartless whereas you are the one with no heart
since you had the gut to get rid of a child you
carried for nine full months...
He roars out of anger and Bonisiwe was looking her
breath, he lets her go and he was tossing up and
down the room.

Bonisiwe: Musa what are you...

He slaps her hard in the cheek which she held after

realisation struck her.

Boniswe: You raised your hands on me

Msawenkosi?

Musa: I can gladly do it again trust me

Bonisiwe's jaw dropped.

Musa: Do you know how much pain I went through

when I lost my first child? A child I was looking
forward into being a father to, do you even know
how much that broke me? How stupid can you ever
be Bonisiwe? *clicks tongue* All my life you made
me feel like I out us in the situation we are in kanti
you know every well that we are in this situation
because of the decision you made, you took away
my first chance to be a dad by lying to me. You were
able to sleep all these years unbothered whereas I
had to attend therapy behind your back because I
had depression and anxiety...

Boniswe: Baby you...

Musa: shut up Bonisiwe Shut the hell up, you don't

know how angry I am right now? I can even kill you
with my own hands if I had a choice but I don't since
I decided go make you my queen and the mother of
my children
Bonisiwe: Musa I'm sorry I did not know that things
would turn out like this and it's not that I did not
regret the decision I made, I did regret it and...

Musa: You are lying to me Bonisiwe and it's not...

He brushed his head as if he was going insane and

cursed.

Musa: You know that I met her today huh? I shook

hands with her and she looks exactly like her my
mother, she resembles her and at first I thought I
was being delusional but I knew what I saw

Bonisiwe: She is alive?

Musa clicks his tongue.

Musa: I need to go...

He quickly went inside the closet and starts packing
his clothes into a luggage, Bonisiwe wanted to heat
more so she followed him.

Bonisiwe: Where are you going?

Musa: That is none of your business

He zips the luggage and walks out with it, he turns

around and looks at Bonisiwe in the eyes.

Musa: You will receive a call from my lawyer soon

because I want a divorce, I'm not going to stay in a
marriage that was built under a lie and I will make
sure that you leave without a single cent

Bonisiwe: Baby we can talk about this please don't

do this, What about the kids?
Musa: They are old enough and they will handle it

He walks out the room with her being his tail as she
begs him not to divorce her, Musa loads his luggage
inside his boot and quickly went to Chumuka's
randovel.

Musa: I'm going to bring my daughter back home

Chumuka: I will talk to the ancestors and ask them

to be with you, have a safe journey

Musa: Thank you

He walks out and got inside his car, he starts the car
and drove out the palace heading back to the
airport. He doesn't know what to expect but he
knows that deep inside he wants his daughter back
home not because she is the one who can change
their situation but because he wants to be a father
to her and make up for the time stolen from the
both of them.

CHAPTER 63
ANESU MTSHALI.

Half past ten the sticks point on the hanging clock

on the wall, Anesu was getting ready upstairs for
her best friends engagement party. Its not exactly
an engagement part but more like a reunion since
Mr Mnguni is not really fond of the Dubes. Let's
forget about that and move to our dearest water
goddess Anesu, she stood in front of the mirror
struggling to out on the dress she ordered few
weeks ago for the engagement party but what
shocks her is that the dress no longer fits her.

How was she able to gain so much weight in such a

short period of time, seven days? Who gains weight
in seven days? She groans in frustration and she sat
down on the bed. She starts crying real tears and
she wails out loud making Nqoba to rush upstairs,
he barged inside the room and who joy rushed to
Anesu who was seated on the bed crying.

Nqoba: What is going on babe?

She cries even louder and Nqoba pulls her closer for
a hug.

Nqoba: Talk to me my love

Anesu: It's the dress...

She sniffs and Nqoba elevates one eye brow in
confusion as to where this might be going.

Nqoba: You don't like the dress?

Anesu: No I love the dress baby

Nqoba: Then what seems to be the problem?

Anesu: It is stuck and I can't get it to zip up, I have

been trying Okay? Trust me I have been trying but
it's not...

She cries all over again and Nqoba wanted to laugh

bit also he was concerned.
Nqoba: Okay can't you pick another dress or
maybe...

Anesu: I don't want another dress, I want this one

Nqoba! I ordered this dress and I will wear it I won't
let any meaningless fats get in my way, never!

She snaps and Nqoba laughs a little before

considering to help her.

Nqoba: Okay stand up and let me try

Anesu: I have been trying Nqoba what makes you

think that you will be able to do it?

She asks him with her left hand on her left hip.

Nqoba: Calm down Okay? Relax those nerves a little

bit and let your man help you
Anesu: Okay fine

Nqoba: Stand up so I can help you

They stood up at the same time and Nqoba stood

behind her, he told her to hold her breath and she
does that even though it was a struggle. He zips up
the dress easily and Anesu breaths out, he looks at
her with a smile.

Anesu: It was first the food that I was unable to eat

now it's this stupid fabric thingy

She clicks her tongue and his smile widens, he hugs

her from behind and plants a kiss on her neck but
she was to irritated and pushed him away.
Nqoba: What did I do now? Am I to blame for the
dress that's not fitting you?

Anesu: You are the one that kept on feeding me all

the food...

Nqoba: Food you were crying for

Anesu: That's not the case

Nqoba: uyqngihlanyela wena, come

He stood there with his arms open and she turns to

look at him with her arms folded, he licks his lower
lip and she does the same then giggles.

Nqoba: woza phela

She shook her head and Nqoba frowns.

Nqoba: You don't want to hug me anymore?

Anesu: I never said that

Nqoba: Come give me a hug

She slowly steps closer to him and she hugs him

around his waist, he pulls her closer and kisses her
on the forehead.

Nqoba: You look beautiful in that dress

Anesu: Thank you babe

Nqoba: No complement for me?

She shook her head and he laughs pulling out from
the hug but she won't let go.

Nqoba: You didn't want to hug me minutes ago now

you don't want to let go

Anesu: I don't want to let go because you smell

good

Nqoba smiles widely like an idiot who just received

a complement they aren't expecting.

Nqoba: Thank you

She looks up at him with her chin on his chest, she

pouts her lips and he chuckles. He leans closer and
pecks her on the lips making her stick out her
tongue.
Nqoba: amanyala Zesuliwe (that's disgusting
Zesuliwe)

Anesu: It doesn't look disgusting when you sucking

it

Nqoba chuckles and he pecks her on the lips once

more.

Nqoba: I love you

Anesu: I know

He frowns and she smiles, she used her once hand

to touch his cheeks.

Anesu: I love you too

She finally pulls out from the hug and continued to
get dressed, she got dressed and Nqoba was just in
his study busy with a phone call since he was
already dressed.

Nqoba: Okay? You are here?

He nods listening to the speaker.

Nqoba: I will see what I can do but a plan will be

made

The door opens and Anesu appeared in her black

tight dress which hugs her in the right places
revealing her beautiful posture, her black pair of LV
heels with a touch of cold and a cold purse. A cold
necklace and she had her afro tied into a neat bun
with edges, she had no make up on but still had a
beautiful glow.
Anesu: Are you ready?

Nqoba: We will talk later

He hug up and rubs his hands together looking at

the goddess in front of him, he adjusts his pants as
his shaft starts misbehaving down there but he held
himself as he stood up.

Nqoba: Now this is my wife

Anesu: Put a ring on it baby and then you can claim

all this

She does a three sixty and she looks at him with a

wide smile on her face.
Nqoba: I wish you could always have that smile in
your face

Anesu: With you by my side? I will always be this

happy

Nqoba: We can leave now?

He brushed her right cheek with her thumb looking

into her blue eyes where he found himself
swimming in the ocean in her eyes till she blinked.

Nqoba: Have you eaten?

Anesu: I don't feel like eating

Nqoba: At least take some fruits

Anesu: I will eat once we arrive at the party don't
worry about me

Nqoba: An apple then?

Anesu: Baby!

She pouts shaking her head.

Nqoba: Okay fine but if you don't eat anything will

force you to because I can't have you dying in me

Anesu: I love you and thank you for carrying about

me?

Nqoba kissed her on the forehand and they walk

out, They got inside his Rolls Royce and they drove
to Fiso and Ntethe's house. Few cars were parked
outside and Nqoba noticed his brother's car, he
smiles widely and Anesu noticed.

She rubs his hand with a smile on her face and parks
the cat next to his brothers car, He walks out to
open the door for Anesu.

She got out and thanks him, they walk inside the
house and they were welcomed by Ntethe's loud
scream as she came from the pool side.

Ntethe: Anesu baby

Nqoba: I'm the one allowed to call her that

Ntethe gave her a side eye.

Ntethe: Don't bore me, love finally you are here I

was so excited to see you and impatient at the
same time we have a lot of wedding plans to go
through and the Dresses!

She screams and pulls Anesu for a tight hug.

Anesu: Slow down girl

She giggles and they pull out from the hug.

Ntethe: How are you Sbari?

Nqoba: I will be good once you direct me where I

will find the guys

Ntethe: Just use that exit and you find them

somewhere there

Nqoba: Thank you

He kissed Anesu on the cheek and Nqoba left the
ladies, Ntethe took Anesu's hand and went to her to
see the decoration outside.

Ntethe: How are you feeling?

Anesu: I'm not okay at all I had a bad day

Ntethe: What happened?

Anesu: I struggled eating and the stupid dress

wouldn't fit

Ntethe: We should go to the gym

Anesu: Oh please do that alone I don't even want to

say foot on that place, ever!
Ntethe laughs out loud and they start chatting
about their dating life, the door bell rang and
Mwandle arrived with Vezokuhle and you could not
miss the glow on the girls face.

Mwandle: Hey ladies

Anesu: you are glowing little sister

Mwandle: You are also glowing

Anesu: You are also glowing Ntethe

Ntethe: It's the perks of dating the Dube brothers

They clap hands and they laugh really loud, few

minutes later Ayavuya arrived and everything
became epic. The door bell rang and Mrs Dube
arrived with his cheating husband.

All the boys came downstairs and they went to

greet their mother, leaving their father standing
there as if he does not exist.

Ntongolozi: My boys, how are you doing?

Nqoba: We are good mma

Nathi: Speak on your behalf and say you are good,

mma I'm not okay this thing of being the only single
brother in this room is really affecting me mma
kancane kancane my girlfriend...

He rolls his eyes.

Nathi: As if we don't know they have girlfriends buy
they have to make it known all the time

Ntongolozi: hhayi Nathi uhlezi utefa nje

Nathi: Mma but listen...

Ntongolozi: I'm listening?

Nathi: I missed you

He smiles widely and Ntongolozi rolls her eyes

giving Nathi a tight hug, she gave hher other son's a
hug and when she was about to give Fiso a hug. She
smiled looking at him and brushed his cheek.

Ntongolozi: Once again I am proud of you and I'm so

happy for you, you deserve this my boy and you
have my blessing
She gave him a hug and looks at Ntethe.

Ntongolozi: My child please take care of my boy

Okay? I'm leaving him all to you to take care of

Ntethe: Yes mma I will take care of him

Ntongolozi smiles.

Lungani: Congratulations Son

Fiso's smile fades and he just kept quite, Anesu

noticed the awkwardness that started filling up the
room.

Anesu: Anybody wants drinks while we wait for the

Mnguni family?
She smiles widely.

...

They sat down having drinks and starters while they

wait for Mr and Mrs Dube, Ntethe was panicking as
she thought her parents won't arrive but all the
panic went away when there was a knock on the
door. Mr and Mrs Mnguni walls inside, Ntethe
quickly rushed to give her mother a huge and Anesu
smiles realising that Ntethe is naturally a hug
person.

Ntethe: Mom I thought you charged your mind

about coming here since I know you don't like Fiso
and his family...
Mrs Mnguni held her hand squeezing it shaking her
head.

Mrs Mnguni: All that doesn't matter anymore

because you love him and he loves you, we are here
to support you right my love?

Ntethe looks at her father.

Mr Mnguni: Can we get over and done with this?

Ntethe frowns and so does Mrs Mnguni.

Ntongolozi: Mr and Mrs Mnguni it's a pleasure to

meet you once again and I'm really happy that we
got to meet under such beautiful circumstances
Mrs Mnguni: It's a pleasure and we are grateful of
how amazing your son had been treating our
daughter...

Mr Mnguni chuckles and Ntongolozi looks at him.

Ntongolozi: Let's get this engagement party started

She smiles widely.

They went to the area which was decorated

beautifully outside, they sat down their seats and
the engagement party began. Every family member
was given the chance go say something in their
hearts and give out gifts, Ntethe gave Fiso his
engagement ring. They exchanged words and the
event went smoothly, Nathi stood up excusing
himself.
He went to the bathroom and when he was about
to enter the bathroom, he bumps into Ayavuya and
they share and awkward moment.

Nathi: Excuse me

He tried passing by squeezing into Ayavuya who just

chuckled as he noticed how wierd he was acting.

Aya: Are you Okay?

Nathi: Yes I'm okay I just need to relieve myself and

I will feel a little bit better

Aya: You know you don't have act wierd around

me? Right?

Nathi: Who said I was acting wierd?

Aya: Your body language

Nathi: You are just seeing things

Aya chuckle and walls downstairs shaking his head

with a smirk on his face.

Nathi: I wasn't acting wierd Right? I was just trying

to pass and you know like...I wasn't being wierd
Right Nathi? Yes

He answers himself while standing in front of the

mirror and he went to do his business.

...
Anesu was seated downstairs having her plate full
of food downstairs with everyone else, Fiso was
enjoying himself with his brother's and Mr Mnguni
was able to loosen up after a few minutes or two,
he was chatting a storm with the other men.

Nqoba was nowhere to be seen and that worried

Anesu, she kept looking around till she felt his cold
lips on her cheek.

Nqoba: Are you looking for me?

Anesu: Yes where did you disappear to?

Nqoba: Do you want to find out?

Anesu: Oouuu you have a suprise for me?

Nqoba: If that's how you want to look at it

Anesu: Let's go then

She locks her fingers and she stood up, she went
updates with Nqoba who led the way. They arrive
inside Fiso's study where she found Msawenkosi
Zwide seated on the couch looking nervous.

Anesu quickly turned around shaking her head.

Anesu: No I'm ready for this Nqoba

He blocks her from leaving the study and he felt his

tears build up in his eyes the same way hers started
getting watery.

Nqoba: Just give him a chance to hear him out

Anesu: Why do you have to force me? I want
nothing to do with that family Nqoba don't you
understand

Nqoba: I don't care no matter how stubborn you

are, he is your father and you need to talk to him

Anesu: You also have issues with your father but I

have never once forced you to fix those issues with
him now have I?

Nqoba clenched his jaw.

Nqoba: You won't bring my issues into this

Okay?My father died years ago and I never got to
meet him even though I wanted to know him and
get to have something nice to say about him but I
can't, you have that chance with him he is here with
you so give the man a chance and stop being
stubborn it's not going take you anywhere
Anesu blinks away her tears and she shook her
head.

Nqoba: I will be outside

He kissed her forehead and he walks out, Anesu

wipes her tears and she turns around to look at her
father. She bites her lower lip trying to stop her
tears from coming out and she starts trembling.

Musa: Ndodakazi (daughter)

Anesu burts into tears and the rain starts pouring

outside, the clouds gathering in the sky and turning
dark grey in color with lighting and wind blowing
forcefully.
Musa: I know might not want nothing to do with
this family but I don't blame you, I'm in deep pain to
know that you had to grow up without tour real
parents, I'm in deep pain that the chance of being
father to you was snatched away from me. I'm
deeply sorry that you had to living a life without a
father and I'm sorry you were thrown out like that
and rejected as if you were nothing but with all
that? You are my daughter and that's a fact that
can't be changed, you are my flesh and blood...

Anesu shook her head as she cried out loud while

listening to her father's words.

Musa: Trust me princess I knew nothing about you

being alive, I was told a lie that you died and a fool I
was I believed that evil woman. You don't know the
pain I went through...

Anesu: No you don't know the pain I went through!

She snaps and swallows.

Anesu: I had to spend every year watching other

children celebrate father's day with their father's, I
had to watch my very same peers attending parents
meeting with both their biological parents and I had
none of the two. Forgive me mam'Abuse for saying
that, for a second I am grateful that I drowned in
the streaming river for twenty years which paused
all the pain I felt as a child. I had to watch my own
mother deny me. Send me away and tell the people
around her that she does not want me, calling me a
"thing" I don't even know how I felt at that time
when I saw all that, I have been through a lot sit but
right now I'm in no space of allowing people into my
life, I am fed up of everything Okay? Thank you for
taking your time to come here but I can't reconnect
with you, I can't...I'm not ready I just...I don't know

She wipes her tears.

Musa: I know me suddenly popping up like this is
not normal and it's a lot for you to take in but like I
said I'm not at fault here, either then wanting to fill
in the space I missed as a father I also need your
help. Your motherland need you, your nation is
dying and it needs you in order to survive. We
haven't had rain for twenty years, we have run out
of cash, we have lost all out farm animals because
of the drought a d mostly the anger of the
ancestors...we need you

Anesu: This is a lot right now, what you are telling

me is a lot. I don't know what to say...

Musa: Come back home

Anesu: And stay with that woman who threw me

away? No thank you sir you are wasting your time
right now, I'm sinselry sorry for what had been
happening to the lands and your business but I'm
not about to out everything that woman did behind
me and come back into her life ad if she did not
wrong me. EVEN if she were to apologize, I want
nothing that will involve me seeing her physical
appearance or even hearing her voice...anything
that involves her? I want nothing to do with her so
I'm sorry but I can't help you

Musa sighs.

Musa: This was a bad idea

Anesu: Indeed

Musa: But I'm not to blame

Anesu: Indeed but I think you need to leave

Musa: So you are going to let millions of people die
because of the grudge you are holding for your
mother?

Anesu: My mother died last month and is buried six

feet under so the person you are claiming to be my
mother ISN'T MY MOTHER AND SHE WILL NEVER BE
MY MOTHER!

She hissed and opens the door for him.

Anesu: So please...

Musa felt his eyes burn but held his tears back, he
nods multiple times and walls toward the door with
his hands inside his pocket.

He stops in front of her and looks into her eyes.

Musa: I will be in the city for a week and I won't
leave this place till I have gained your trust and
remember...

He paused.

Musa: Ngyakthanda Ndodakazi

Anesu felt like crying but held back her tears.

Anesu: Nqoba will escort you the same way he

brought you inside without everyone noticing

Musa nods and walks out, Nqoba looks at him and

Musa shook his head. Nqoba sighs and escorts
Musa through the back door where no one will
notice him.
Anesu went to wash her face and went back
downstairs.

Ntethe: It was raining outside are you Okay?

Anesu: I'm fine just period pains

She lied and Ntethe noticed, she went to stand

alone by the balcony watching the car as it drove
off.

Aya: That car looks familiar

Anesu snaps out of her thoughts.

Anesu: huh?
Aya: I'm saying that car looks familiar, it looks like
my father's car or maybe my eyes are deceiving
me?

Anesu: They are deceiving you

Aya: Anyways what's up with you?

Anesu: I just want to go home

Aya: So early?

Anesu: I'm not feeling well that's the problem

She took a sip on her juice and her eyes wondered

at the gate, she saw a woman dressed in a brown
dress with a grey hoodie. She had her hoodie hat on
and by the looks of her round belly you could tell
that she was pregnant.
The woman looks up and her eyes lock with Anesu's
making her heart race for some reason she does not
know.

Anesu: Who is that at the gate?

She points and Aya looks at the gate.

Aya: Who are you pointing at?

Anesu looks back and the woman was gone, Anesu's

jaw and shoulders drop.

Anesu: But she was there and she looked at me

Aya: I think your eyes are also deceiving you, let's
go inside its getting cold and this sudden change in
weather is concerning

Anesu walks back inside with Aya who was talking

to himself, she wasn't listening to a word he was
saying because she was thinking about that woman
she saw. She was very sure that she saw that
woman but the question is who was she and where
did she disappear to?

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 64
NARRATIVE.

The engagement came to an end after a short while

and everyone went their separate ways, Ntongolozi
wanted to spend one day with his son's so she
decided to stay at Nqoba's house and let Lungani
travel back to Eastern Cape since he was never
interested in coming in the first place.

Nqoba parks his car inside the garage and everyone

came out of the car, Anesu's eyes were heavy and
she just wanted to sleep.

Ntongolozi: Son you have done it again this house is

massive, when are you building me one like this
one?

Nqoba laughs a little.

Nqoba: I have built enough houses for you mom so

let me spoil my wife now
Ntongolozi: I have been hearing you calling her your
wife whereas you have done nothing to make that
possible

Nqoba: Just trust the process mma

Ntongolozi: There is no process I want to trust here,

you are slow and that's it

Nqoba laughs out loud as they made their way

inside the house, Nqoba went to show his mother
the room she will be using and he went to his room.

On his way to his room he received a call from Vezo

and he answered.

Nqoba: Talk to me

Vezo: I found her location brother

Nqoba: Are you sure?

Vezo: I'm very sure so how are you going to solve

this?

Nqoba: I don't know I will decide when I get there

Vezo: Own up to your mistake and don't make a

bad decision that will catch up with you in the
future

He scoffs.

Vezo: Why am I telling you this because you have

already made a huge bad decision

Nqoba: This is the support I get

Vezo: When you hurt our sister in law and do
buckshot? Yes that's the only support you will
receive from me

Nqoba: Good bye and thank you

He hung up and he sighs deeply.

He continues his walk to his room.

He found Anesu standing by the window staring at

the grey clouds which were forming in the sky, she
was folding her arms and Nqoba could see that
something way bothering her.

He went and stood behind her, he sighs and placed

his hands on her waist but she quickly moves his
hands and turns around to look at him.
Anesu: I did not like what you did today

Nqoba: What did I do now?

Anesu: You brought that man and forced me to talk

to him knowing very well that I want nothing to do
with that family

Nqoba: You want nothing to do with that family?

Are you sure about that? If you honestly want
nothing to do with that family why are you still
friends with Ayavuya because we both know that
you are aware that he is your brother

Anesu's jaw drops and Nqoba laughs a little.

Nqoba: You thought I wasn't going to find out? I
always make sure to get information on the people
you associate with

Anesu: You are stalking the people I'm friends with

now huh? You are a detective now, you do know
that's invading my privacy

Nqoba: I have to be a detective because I want to

keep you safe

Anesu: I don't want you to keep me safe Nqoba I

can take care of myself why can't you just listen to
me and trust me with that?

Nqoba sighs and held the bridge of his nose, he

shook his head and clenched his jaw.
Nqoba: Stop avoiding the point of this whole
conversation we both know the main reason of this
combination so don't switch up

Anesu folds her arms and taps her foot on the floor.

Nqoba: Musa did nothing to you Anesu, he had no

clue that were alive and right now he does not need
you pushing him away. He came all this way to talk
to you and fix things with you...

Anesu: That's the thing I don't want to fix things

with him

She shouts.

Nqoba: I know but you should...

Anesu: Nqoba I'm a grown woman okay? First you
need to stop treating me like I'm incapable of
making my own decisions, when I tell you I don't to
fix things with that man I mean it. It was really
uncalled for of you to sabotage me into talking to
him and...

She laughs a little.

Anesu: Why are you so focused on my issues?

Nqoba: I care about you and...

Anesu: Sometimes I just don't need you to care

Okay? You have a family that is falling apart, I
watched you point a gun at your father wanting to
kill him because he cheated on your mother with
your finances mother...
Nqoba: DON'T YOU DARE!

He warns with his eyes getting red and continuously

clenching his jaw trying to tame the beast in him.

Anesu: You see how sensitive that topic is? Did I

ever put you in one room with your father and
forced you to talk things through with him? No I
never did that and the reason being is that it was
none of my business, no matter how much I care
about you I would never put myself in the middle of
you and your family issues

Nqoba: You are just an ungrateful bitch

He clicks his tongue and walks to the bathroom,

Anesu follows him.

Anesu: What did you just call me Nqoba?

She shouts.

Nqoba: All I did was just try to help you and right
now you are connecting two things that don't even
connect because you don't want to admit that you
at wrong

Anesu: So that gives you the reason to call me a

bitch?

He was running if anger and all he did was pick up

his car keys, he has a lot going on in his head and
arguing with a selfish inconsiderate person isn't
something he wants to do.

He walks out the room leaving Anesu shouting for

him to turn back, Anesu slams the door shut and
screams out loud with years streaming down her
cheeks. She unzips her dress which gave her a
struggle which made her opt into using a pair is
scissors go cut the dress. She walks inside the
bathroom and stripped naked, she sat on the tiles
as the water pours above her head.

She starts crying and her screams fill the bathroom,

she doesn't know what to do and having him talk to
her in that manner was not what she was looking
forward to.

The water became cold and Anesu turns off the tap,
she steps out of the shower and wraps a towel
around her body. She walks to the main room and
she just wore a robe, she cuddles herself on the
couch and cried.

She dozed off while she was crying and woke up on

the middle of the night, she walks rubs her salty
eyes and she made her way downstairs.
She went to the kitchen taking out some chocolate
and mint ice cream, she sat in the dark living room
and she starts eating the ice cream while she cries.

She heard foot steps approaching and she quickly

wipes her tears, the lights in the living room switch
on and Ntongolozi stood by the wall looking sleepy.

Ntongolozi: You are up at this time just for ice

cream?

Anesu: I'm sorry mma I didn't mean to wake you

Ntongolozi: You did not wake me I was thirsty for

water
Anesu nods and took a spoon full of ice cream
making her brain freeze, Ntongolozi shook her head
and she walks to join Anesu on the couch.

Ntongolozi: You know I heard you two fighting

Anesu: I'm sorry you had to hear all that mma, it

was not our intention

Ntongolozi: What is happening between you two

that's causing y'all to fight like this?

Anesu: It's a lot mma for my first experience in a

relationship I wasn't expecting this to be this
difficult, I'm being tested and I'm failing. I know
Nqoba cares for me but also at the same time he
just acts reckless without thinking when things
concern me which scares me. I don't know if I have
lost trust in him or trust in myself, I don't know if I
want to be in this relationship anymore because
things are becoming a little bit difficult

Ntongolozi sighs

Ntongolozi: Anesu listen to me, Nobody on this

earth has a relationship that flows smoothly with no
bumps along the way. The path isn't easy it had
throns which can cause splinters, which can cause
pain and may make ones heart bleed. I myself am
proof that relationships or let me rather say
marriage isn't easy, I almost lost everything I
worked hard for because of a man who doesn't
know how to keep him pants [Link] honestly
speaking you and my son are a great match, I have
never seen Nqoba give himself and going all out the
way he is right now. I have never seen Nqoba
overprotective of anyone either then his brothers
and myself, I have never seen him lose his mind
because of a woman. I have never seen the smile
and joy on his face till he met you, things might
seem bumpy at the moment but it won't always be
like this. You need to be strong Anesu, you need to
learn how to communicate and work things through
like adults or else there won't be anyway forward.
Life will throw challenges at you and if you truly
love my son you will stand by his side even when he
does the most stupid things, I'm not saying tolerate
it or don't be angry at him all I'm saying is stand by
his side, if he loses you he won't be repaired ever
again. Nqoba has been through a lot though this
shoild never be an excuse for his behaviour and in
whatever that's happening between you two I'm
not saying you should forgive him all I'm saying is
listen to each other and work things through, if you
do all that this relationship will work smoothly

Anesu sighs.

Anesu: I hear you mma but all of this is difficult

Ntongolozi: You are the one that's making it
difficult, sometimes you need to stop being
stubborn and dear I love the fact that you are able
to out my son in place but sometimes you need to
stop being hard headed and just listen because you
won't be anything without guided from others neh?

Anesu: Thank you mma for this talk

Ntongolozi: I'm just doing my job as a parent and a

future mother in law

Anesu smiles widely.

Anesu: I should go sleep even though I don't think I

will be able to sleep with him out there

Ntongolozi: I will see you in the morning, you

should get some sleep he will be back
She rubs her hand and she walks back upstairs,
Anesu sighs and stays at the living area for a few
minutes. She went to dispose the empty ice cream
container and went straight to sleep, she kept
tossing st turning hut stood when she heard the
sound of the door opening.

His cologne fills the room and Anesu shuts her eyes,
she heard some shuffling as he went to take a
shower. He later came back and got dressed. He
climbs into the bed and he wraps his arms around
her.

Nqoba: baby?

Silence.

Nqoba: I know you are not sleeping

He kissed her shoulder.

Nqoba: Okay I'm sorry for the way I talked to you

and most importantly I'm really sorry for swearing
at you and calling you a bitch, I was angry and I
shouldn't have allowed my anger to take over. I
hope you forgive me for my actions

Anesu opens her eyes and turns around to face him.

Anesu: Thank you for the apology and you are

forgiven, I'm also sorry for crossing the line and
talking about your family issues I know that you
were just trying to help me which I'm grateful for
that but you shouldn't have called me a bitch

Nqoba: Ngyaxolisa Anesu

Anesu: I forgive you

Nqoba: Thank you

He kissed her on the forehead.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 65
NARRATIVE.

Ntongolozi was in her son's kitchen making

breakfast as she hums the same lyrics over and
over, she seemed to be in a good mood and it might
be because she's away from her husband who gives
her problems. Nqoba walks down the stairs case
feeling and looking exhausted, he has a lot in his
mind which is dressing him out but all the dress
fades away when he saw his mother in the kitchen.

His mother has always been his first wife and he is

one of her son's who love her truly but really show
it that often. He went to give his mother a kiss on
the cheek before walking to the kitchen counter
and taking a seat.

Nqoba: Good morning mma

He smiles.

Ntongolozi: Good morning Nqobah

Nqoba: You know I don't like it when you add the

HE

He qoutes in the air and Ntongolozi rolls her eyes.

Ntongolozi: I will do whatever I want

Silence.

Ntongolozi: So how is work? Is the business running

smoothly

Nqoba: Everything is flowing accordingly and we

making money but most importantly making our
mother proud by leaving a mark of ours in the
business industry

Ntongolozi: That's the man I raised

Nqoba: and you? How are things going back at

home? Had Lungani went back to his ways?
He picks up a sausage and his mother gave him a
stare.

Ntongolozi: You know I don't like that. Atleast wash

your hands before sticking your hands in the food I
made

Nqoba: Ngyaxolisa Ndlovukazi (I'm sorry Queen

mother)

Ntongolozi sighs.

Ntongolozi: Everything back at home is really tense,

Lungani is trying by all means to be better and make
me forgive him but...

She sighs.
Ntongolozi: I just won't let such betrayal slide so
fast but we will work on it we always do

Nqoba nods.

Nqoba: You can still leave him

Ntongolozi: I have lost a lot to let so much I have

built out of my pain to just slide out the palm of my
hands as if I don't have any control

Nqoba: I hear you

Ntongolozi: So tell me, why were you arguing with

Makoti?

Nqoba: You heard?

Ntongolozi: The way you two were shouting at one
another even the sound proof walls could not take
it

Nqoba: It was just an issue which we talked about

and we are good now

Ntongolozi: You do know that you have a rare jam

in your captive? That woman upstairs is rare to find,
Love her, respect her and don't do anything that
will make you lose her

Nqoba chokes on his saliva and Ntongolozi stops for

a second, she looks at Nqoba with curiosity written
all over her face.

Ntongolozi: What did you do?

Nqoba: What did I do? What do you mean?

Ntongolozi: You coughed when I started talking
about you making stupid decisions that will cause
her to leave you, did you make a bad decision that
will make her leave you?

Nqoba: No I did not, it's just a coincident nothing

much

Ntongolozi: Nqobuthando you are my son, you

came out of my vigina after a carried you for nine
full months, changed your dippers and watched you
grow in front of my eyes and you cannot, I repeat
you cannot and you will never fool me

Nqoba: Mma? Calm down

Ntongolozi: mmh, speaking of woman when are you

marrying her? You two have went through a lot
already and on top of that you have been together
for a long while now

Nqoba: I have a plan in motion just wait and see, I

will make you the happiest mother on this planet
and I will also make you a grandmother

Ntongolozi: I love the faith you have in yourself

Nqoba: My mother taught me to have faith and be

patient because everything has it's own time of
happening all you have to do is wait

Ntongolozi: Ngoba you have a brain that's works

bakusolani?

They burst into laughter and Anesu was walking

down the stairs, she didn't look okay and as she was
about to reach the last stair case her phone drops
on the floor.

She cursed under her breath.

Anesu: I hate this day already

She rolls her eyes picking up the phone and walking

to the kitchen, she looked irritated and she smiles
when she saw her favorite people.

Anesu: Good morning mma

Ntongolozi: Good morning dear

She looks at Nqoba and leans closer to peck him on

the lips.
Anesu: I saw you few seconds ago and you already
received your good morning

Ntongolozi: I'm still standing here

Anesu laughs and Nqoba just smiles with his left

hand brushing Anesu's booty on the other side of
the counter his mother couldn't see.

Anesu: You know mma I don't know what I should

do with you, how can you prepare breakfast while
you are a guest and on top of that you have a
daughter in law in the house?

Ntongolozi smiles.

Ntongolozi: I did not want to disturb you two plus I

love using the kitchen and it's not a big deal, you
will suprise me next time
Anesu: Most definitely I will

Ntongolozi: What are your plans today?

Anesu: I'm going to attend my classes and after that

I will return to cook dinner then take a nap after

Ntongolozi: Okay, oh I forgot to tell you two I will be

leaving this evening around seven

Anesu: So soon?

She pouts and moves to the other side to give

Ntongolozi a tight hug, Ntongolozi squeezed her
really tight and they both giggle.

Ntongolozi: I will return on your friends wedding

Anesu: You will spend a week with us right?

Nqoba: Haaa in whose house?

Anesu gave him a bored look.

Ntongolozi: Am I no longer invited here huh?

Nqoba: That's not what I'm not saying

Anesu: You are always welcome here mma

Ntongolozi smiles and Anesu went to setup the

table and they sat down once the food was ready,
They sat down and had their breakfast. Once they
were done Anesu had to leave for her classes and
left Nqoba with his mother to bond.
.
.
.
Nkanyezi was phasing up and down using her hands
to blow some air to her face after the information
she found out, she knew that her plan was about to
fall apart.

Nkanyezi: I told you to keep your distance and don't

let them find you and you decide to go to his
brother's house? What if he saw you? Do you want
to lose your Life?

She shouts and Gugu shook her head.

Gugu: I just wanted to see him and...

Nkanyezi: GuguLethu? Nqobuthando does not care

about you the same way he never cared for me, so
just because you have his heir inside that womb of
yours does not mean he won't terminate you if you
try to ruin his relationship with that Zebra of his

She clicks her tongue.

Gugu: But I'm still going according to our plan

Nkanyezi: The plan was for you to seduce him and

fall pregnant not fall in love with him in the process,
don't be like me Gugu use your brain

Gugu: Okay I'm sorry I shouldn't have went there so

what do we do now?

Nkanyezi: We stick to the plan Gugu

Gugu: This won't work Nkanyezi, I have had people

follow me around and I know that he knows I'm
alive and plotting plan to ruin his relationship I don't
want to die Nkanyezi

Nkanyezi: Stop panciking

Gugu: I'm not panicking just...

She breaths and with her eyes closed.

Nkanyezi: Don't worry we are about to check soon

She smiles widely staring outside the window.

.
.
.
Anesu just got out of her classes and the time is half
past three, she was driven by her personal driver
back home and as the car drove. She was on a
phone call work Ntethe.

Anesu: I miss you girl

Ntethe: I miss you two munchkin

Anesu: How are things going between you two?

Ntethe: Should I explain using the sex he has been

giving me since last night? Maybe that will be
enough to convince you that we are obsessed with
one a other

Anesu: spare me the detials

She rolls her eyes with a smile, she can't hide the
happiness she has for her friend.
Ntethe: Uyaziphuthisela shame you would have
learned a thing or two (you are missing out shame)

Anesu: Ngizozubonela ntombi when I get there (I

will see for myself girl when I get there)

They laughed and continued to chat, Anesu hung up

once Ntethe said her goodbyes and she went inside
the house. She greets Ntongolozi who was in the
living room watching television.

Anesu: Sawbona mma

Ntongolozi: Hey baby, Nqoba told me to tell you

that a meeting came up at the office and he had to
leave

Anesu: Thank you mma

Ntongolozi smiles.

Anesu went to take a quick shower and she wore a

black dress.

She went downstairs and starts preparing dinner,

she was happy that she finally knows her way
around the kitchen after a few lessons from
Mwandle. She spent the rest of the day in the
kitchen till it started to get dark, she sets her pots
aside and she decides to call Mwandle to check her
up.

Mwandle: Sister hey...

Anesu: Why did you have to answer like that? Is he

threatening you already?
Mwandle: Don't be ridiculous

Anesu laughs a little.

Anesu: How are you little sister?

Mwandle: I'm good and yourself?

Anesu: I'm managing

Mwandle: That's great to hear so when are we

seeing each other? I miss you and I have a lot I want
to tell you

The door bells rang and Anesu quickly rushed to the

door, she opens the door with a smile on her face.
There a woman stood in a brown dress and hoodie,
the very same woman she saw at the party
yesterday. Anesu looks at the woman confused and
she felt her heart racing suddenly.

Anesu: Excuse me can I help you?

"I'm looking for Nqobuthando is he here?"

Anesu: No he is not here may I ask who are you?

"I'm the mother of his child."

Anesu: You are the mother of what child? Which

child?

"You don't know?"

She asked with a smirk on her face.

Anesu: I didn't know what?

"Let me fill you up a little bit, I'm the woman who

left the lipstick on his shirt and I'm the woman who
has been making him busy trying to find me, he
slept with me not once but more then once and I'm
carrying his child, his first born child and heir to the
throne."

Anesu's throat got dry and her jaw dropped, she felt
like her whole blood was sucked out of her veins.
She felt like a biltong which was dry and she did not
know what to say.

Tears build up in her eyes.

Anesu: He wouldn't

"But he did and I'm here to see him."

Ntongolozi: Anesu who is at the door?

She asked and looks at Gugu in confusion as she

stood there.

Gugu: Hey mother-in-law

She giggles.

Ntongolozi: Ungazonginyela wena, who are you?

Gugu: I'm Gugulethu the mother of your sons first

born child

She smiles widely and Ntongolozi gasped covering

her mouth, Gugu brushed her belly looking at
Ntongolozi who quickly looks at Anesu who was
frozen in her position.

Mwandle: Hello?

She asked over the phone and Anesu hung up, she
wipes her tears and laughs a little trying to hide the
pain. Realization strikes her again and she shook her
head countless times, Gugu allows herself inside the
house.

Anesu: I can't do this mma...

Anesu ran out of the house.

Ntongolozi: ANESU!

She shouts.
She went to one of the car and she lets out a heavy
breath she did not know she was holding in that
long, Tears stream down her cheeks and the driver
looks at her through the review mirror.

Driver: Ma'am are you Okay? Should I call the boss?

Anesu: No just drive

Driver: Where to?

Anesu: JUST DRIVE!

She shouts at the top of her lung and burst out into
tears.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 66
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

He was driving back home and he was frustrated

because he was unable to locate Gugu since she
disappeared before he could even find her. On the
way back home he was looking forward for dinner
since Anesu made dinner, the weather was starting
to change as he stops when the robot turned red.

He took his phone and he dailed Anesu's number

but it went straight to voicemail, he looks at the
screen of his phone with lot of confusion. The robot
turns red and the rain starts pouring, Nqoba turns
on the wipes of his car and he drove straight.
He tries calling Anesu's number but she did not and
answer once again, he left a voicemail for her.

Nqoba: Baby I'm on my way back is there anything

you want me to bring for you

There was a huge rumble and a the dark grey sky

flashes as if the people on earth were being taken a
picture, a lighting strike drew on the sky and the
rain pours with so much strength.

Nqoba hung up and continues driving, he couldn't

see properly on the road because the rain had
heavy raindrops splashing on his front screen of the
car. There was another loud rumble and Nqoba just
a little when he could feel the earth shaking, he was
really confused and scared at the same time. How
could he feel the earth shaking while he was in the
car? He asks himself and his phone rang, it was his
mother and luckily his phone was now connected to
the car.

He pressed the green cellphone button on the

steering wheel and smiles.

Nqoba: Ndlovukazi yami

Ntongolozi: Ndlovukazi yamasimba, I thought I

taught you correctly what did I miss?

Ntongolozi says calmly.

Nqoba: You did teach me well mma, why are you

talking like this?

Ntongolozi: I'm really disappointed in you, I did not

expect you to do something reckless like this
Nqoba: Mma what are you talking about? What did
I do?

Ntongolozi: So you go sticking your penis in

someone else's vigina and you tell me you don't
know what you did? Boy don't make me angry then
I already am right now

Nqoba heart skips a beat.

Nqoba: Mma what are you talking about I'm lost

Ntongolozi: There is a woman here named

Gugulethu, she came to your house and claims that
she is pregnant with your child but guess who
opened the door and whom she told all of that?

Nqoba's heart starts racing.

Nqoba: Anesu...

He froze and cursed.

Nqoba: Fuck

Ntongolozi: Yes you fucked up

Nqoba: Where is Anesu Mma?

Ntongolozi: You know you don't deserve that girl,

she is something you don't deserve and i don't
know why the ancestors linked the both of you. I
was expecting much better from you Nqobuthando,
how could you do something like this to Anesu?
Nqoba: Mama I don't need you lecturing me right
now just tell me where she Is?

Ntongolozi: I don't know where she is because she

left the second she heard about your incapabilities
of keeping your pants up

Nqoba: Mama I swear I tried to fix it

Ntongolozi: You tried to fix it, you did not try to

explain it to her? So you thought hiding something
huge like this would go well for you?

Ntongolozi sighs.

Ntongolozi: I'm really disappointed in you son and

right now need to come back to your house, take
care of this woman and your unborn baby because
I'm leaving I'm not going to sit here with this
woman I don't even know. I'm not going to sit here
and play happy mother-in-law with a woman I don't
know on top of that I'm not about to be all smily
faces with a woman that made my daughter in law
run away so you better fix this

Nqoba: Mma you are not helping right now

He hung up and he went to park his car on the side

of the road, he locks all doors and he took his phone
with his hands trembling. He dails Anesu's number
and placed the phone on his left ear, he kept
tapping the steering wheel as the phone rang but to
his disappointment she did not answer.

Nqoba: Baby please answer the phone and I...and I

know you want nothing to do with me at this
moment but please answer the phone so we can
talk and I can explain
He begs and the sky flashes with lighting strikes
showing in the sky.

He tries calling her once more but she did not

answer the call, he decides calling Ntethe but she
also did not answer. He became frustrated and he
called Fisokuhle who answer on the second ring.

Fiso: Nqobuthando?

Nqoba: Fiso I need your help, do you know where

Ntethe is?

Fiso: I can't reveal that to you

Nqoba's jaw dropped.

Nqoba: Fisokuhle I'm asking you to tell me where

your girlfriend is, this is important Okay?
Fiso: she's my fiance not my girlfriend and also we
warned you but you did not listen to us, we adviced
you to tell her the truth now you have a baby
outside your relationship on top of that with your
side piece as my biggest brother I was expecting
you to do better and honestly speaking I'm
disappointed in you

Nqoba clicks his tongue and he hung up, he dails

Vezo's number and he answers.

Nqoba: Vezokuhle before you start with the lecture

just tell me where she Is?

Vezo chuckles.

Vezo: You are on your own on this one and don't

even think of barging into my house and forcing me
to tell you where she is because I will beat you up
not because you came here when I told you not to
but because you hurt a person who did not deserve
to be hurt. I might sound heartless but don't ask for
my help because I won't help you, you did this now
fix it

Nqoba hung up and he clicks his tongue, he felt like

he was losing his mind. He placed the phone down
and he leans his head back on the seat, he closed
his eyes trying to stop tears from coming out of his
eyes.

He breaths out and he tries her once again, she

answers.

Nqoba: Baby?

He says and he only hears her crying silently

followed by a sniff.
Nqoba: Baby please hear me out Okay? I'm...

She hung up and he felt like running his car into

another car so he can die instantly, He starts the car
and he was fumming of anger, he was driving on the
high way with his lights on so he can see properly.

As he was driving a huge lightning bolt came from

the sky and strikes in front of his car causing him to
hit the breaks fast, he lost control of the car but
quickly got the control back. The car was standing
side ways on the road, he breaths heavily and when
he thought it was over. Another lighting bolt sticks
on the road in front of him, another huge lighting
bolt follows which flashes in front of his eyes and he
saw his life flash right before his eyes.

There was a huge rumble.

He starts the car and he drove home, he drove
carefully because he saw that his life was in danger.
He knew the meaning behind all of this and it
angered him that the problem he was hiding all
along finally came to light.

The security guards open the gate and he drove in,

he saw that his mother's car was still parked outside
and he breaths out in relief. He parks his car outside
the door step and he got out of the car, he walks
inside the car with his clothes wet.

Nqoba: Dammit!

He clicks his tongue and he walks to the living room

where his eyes met with Gugu's he slowly clenched
his jaw line marching towards her and was stops
right in front of her.

Nqoba: What are you doing here?

Gugu: I'm here to see my baby daddy

Nqoba: Did I not tell you to stay away from me?

Gugu: How am I suppose to stay away from you

when I'm carrying your baby? I can't take care of
this baby alone he or she needs her father and trust
me I won't allow my baby to grow up without her
father

Nqoba: That baby is not mine

Gugu: You wish, You are the only guy I slept with in
these couple of months and you can't tell me that a
whole human can't be formed during that time

Nqoba: Who are you working for and who sent you?
Gugu: I'm not working for anyone and nobody sent
me

Nqoba clicks his tongue.

Nqoba: I don't have time for this

He turns around and bumps into his mother who

stood him.

Ntongolozi: Where do you think you are going?

Nqoba: I'm going to find my woman and talk to her

Ntongolozi: Do you think she wants to talk to you

after finding out about this...

She points at Gugu.

Ntongolozi: I wouldn't even blame her if she chose
to leave you

Nqoba: Don't say that

Ntongolozi: Too late for that I already said it

Nqoba: Mma I really don't have time to listen to you

telling me how much I messed up because I know
that I messed up so please...spare me a little

Tears build up in his eyes.

Nqoba: I almost lost my life on my way back here, I

was striked by lightning three times mma and this
isn't normal. I know that wherever Anesu is she is
crying and heartbroken so I'm not going to rest till I
fix this, I can't lose that woman mma I love her with
every part of me mma

Ntongolozi: You don't love her if you had loved her

you wouldn't have slept with another woman not
once but...I don't even want to know how many
times you slept with that woman over there

Nqoba: Mma I love Anesu and I can't loose her

Ntongolozi: You lost her the moment you slept with

another woman, lied to her about it and made her
pregnant all I'm saying to you is that you should
forget about her because she won't forgive you

Nqoba closed his eyes with his two fingers, Tears

stream down his cheeks and he was quick to wipe
them.
He breaths out with his hands shaking.

Nqoba: I can't live without her

Ntongolozi sighs.

Ntongolozi: You did this to yourself and I'm afraid I

can't help you on this one, you are a man and you
should fix your problems alone. I have my bags
loaded inside the car and the pilot is already waiting
for me, I won't sit here and watch this nonsense you
just did so I'm leaving...

Nqoba: Mma you can't also leave me

Ntongolozi took her hand beg from the counter and

Nqoba blocks her.
Nqoba: Mma you can't leave me also, I need your
assurance and guidance

Ntongolozi: Nqoba i gave you some guidance and

you did not take it, you were suppose to take care
of that girl and not do her like this. I might sound
like a heartless person but I am your mother not the
fixer of your problems, you are old now and you
don't need me fixing your problems all I can say
is...that even if that child is not yours you have no
right to ill treat that woman, she might be carrying
the Dube heir while we are unsure of the truth you
should guard her with your life

She gives him a tight hug followed by a kiss on the

cheek, she brushes her cheek and she walks out.

He turns around and he looks at Gugu who was

rubbing her belly, she looks up at him and smiles.
Gugu: Do you want to touch?

Nqoba: No

He clenched his jaw.

Gugu: I'm hungry and I need to sleep, where is your

room?

Nqoba: The kitchen is over there you are not disable

but pregnant and we won't be sharing a room, you
can use any of the guest rooms upstairs and till we
find out whether that baby is mine or not stay out
of my business, you are not my girlfriend, wife or
anything but you are just a person who I made a
mistake and slept with and now I have to live with
that mistake for the rest of my life

Gugu: Nqoba it's not like I wanted this to happen

Nqoba: Pray that baby is mine or else I will kill your
for real this time

He looks at her from head to toe and be walks

upstairs to his room, he took out his phone and
dails Anesu's number which went straight to
voicemail.

Nqoba: Anesu Baby please answer the phone so we

can talk, I know this is a lot to take in but I can
explain just give me the chance to explain...

He paused.

Nqoba: I love you Okay? Nothing will ever change

my feelings for you

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 67
ANESU MTSHALI.

When the driver took off leaving Nqoba's house she

broke down instantly as if she was going through
the pain she went through when she lost her
mother, the driver did not know what to do
because she did not tell him the exact details as to
where she wants to go. He drove to the nearest
garage to seek shelter because the rain droplets
were starting to drop from the sky with the could
turning dark grey as if a huge storm was
approaching.

He got out of the car and gave Anesu enough space

to cry her lungs out, she felt betrayed and felt like a
fool that he was able to lie to her all this time even
though she saw everything in her dream, she still
chose to believe him because she loves him.

Her eyes were burning from all the tears and

rubbing her eyes, she wipes her tears and she steps
out of the car. She went to the driver and she stood
in front of him.

Anesu: Thank you for giving me space, can you take

me to my sister's apartmemt?

Driver: Yes ma'am

Anesu smiles faintly and she walks back to the car,

she sat at the back seat and the driver got inside the
car. He drove to Mwandle's apartment even though
it was dark and he drops her off, she asked that he
does not tell Nqoba about her whereabouts.
She was walking to the apartment door step and
she knocks on the door, Mwandle opens the door
and looks at Anesu worried.

Mwandle: Anesu what are you doing here? Why did

you drop the call on me while we were talking?

Anesu felt numb she couldn't talk, she just looks at

Mwandle in the eyes and her eyes slowly fill with
tears which stream down her cheeks when her eye
lids were full of tears, she did not blink she just
stared at her sister and allowed her emotions to
take over. She felt weak and her knees started
failing her, she lets out a wimper and nearly falls
down on the floor but Mwandle caught her on time.

Mwandle held her in her arms giving her a tight hug

as she cries.
Mwandle: What happened? Why...why are you
crying?

She just broke down and Mwandle walks her to the

living room, the sat down on the couch and Anesu
pulls Mwandle closer as if she was a toddler pulling
her mother who was breast feeding her, she cries
out loud not saying a single word and that worried
Mwandle.

Mwandle: Anesu talk to me

She begs and Anesu's phone rang, Mwandle took it

from her hand and she looks at the caller ID,
Nqoba's name was written on the screen.

Mwandle: It's Nqoba

Anesu: Don't answer it

Mwandle: Why?

She shook her head and she sniffs.

The phone stops ringing.

Mwandle: Anesu please tell me what's going on,

how am I suppose to comfort you if I don't know
what's going on?

Anesu shook her head countless times and

Mwandle starting putting scenarios together.

Mwandle: What did he do to you Anesu?

Anesu's phone rang again and you could see that

Mwandle was angry.
Mwandle: Anesu if you don't start talking I will
answer this phone and ask him myself because you
don't want to say anything, what did Nqoba do to
You?

Anesu: Don't answer the phone!

She shouts choking on her tears and snatching her

phone from Mwandle, she continues crying and
Mwandle just sat there comforting her. It's like she
has been storing her tears in a JoJo tank because
they way she cried, she couldn't stop and the more
she cried the more the weather got worse.

Mwandle decided to take her to her room and she

put her to sleep since she saw that crying wasn't
going to help her, she sat in the living room with her
phone in hand.
She took one quick look at Anesu's room door
which was wide open and she sighs, she dails
Ntethe's number and she answers.

Ntethe: Hey sisi, how are You?

Mwandle: I'm not good, are you in a good space to

talk right now?

Ntethe: Yes Why?

Mwandle: it's about Anesu

Ntethe: What happened?

Mwandle: She just came to my doorstep crying

tears that could drown the whole earth, she doesn't
want to tell me what's going on and Nqoba kept on
calling her but she did not want to answer
Ntethe: Do you think he did something?

Mwandle: I don't think, I know my sister is never

like this and I swear Nontethelelo if Nqoba did
anything to hurt her he will face my wrath

Ntethe: I'm coming

Mwandle: Are you sure? Have you seen the

weather out there?

Ntethe: The weather is like this because of her,

she's in pain so you should do everything to keep
her calm and make sure she does not cry

Mwandle: she's sleeping right now

Ntethe: That's great, give me a few minutes and I
will be there

Mwandle: Thank You I will see you then

She hung up and looks at her sister who was

sleeping on the bed in the dark room with lighting
flashing through the white curtains in her room.

Few seconds later Ntethe arrived and the minute

she came through the door, her main concern was
her best friend Anesu.

She took off her raining coat and she gave Mwandle
a hug.

Ntethe: How is She?

Mwandle: She's still alseep

Ntethe: She is not sleeping...

She panicks placing her side beg on the counter and

rushing inside her room, she was no longer in the
bed. Ntethe and Mwandle looks around the room,
the saw the curtains of sliding door which was in
the bedroom blowing and wind entering the room.

Mwandle: She's outside

They rush outside and Anesu was standing in the

middle of the yard, her eyes looking up at the sky as
if she was commanding it. The rain starts pouring
once again and it was epic, Mwandle and Ntethe
stood there watching Anesu.
The atmosphere starts chanting and the wind starts
strengthening, the trees bending as the wind blew
and the leaves moving up in the air.

Anesu let's out a loud scream and thunder starts

rumbling in the sky, followed by a huge flesh and
she kept screaming.

Ntethe: ANESU!

She shouts but Anesu could not hear her.

Mwandle: Anesu please stop!

She also shouts hoping that he would respond when

hearing her voice but none of the worked, Anesu
let's out another loud scream and this time the
weather responds to her.
Ntethe: Anesu you are going to kill everybody

Anesu stops screaming and she drops on the floor

with her knees, the weather cools off and they
quickly rush to her. She was in tears , she seems to
be exhausted from all the crying. She couldn't take
it anymore and she just felt like loosing her life that
very moment, Mwandle and Ntethe help her up.

They took her inside and they took her to the

bathroom, she sat down on the tiles and she wipes
her tears then tried to control her tears.

Ntethe: What happened?

Anesu: He cheated on me

Mwandle and Ntethe both gasped.

Mwandle: He did what? When?

Anesu: I don't know the exact details of when but

the first time it happened we were in Eastern Cape,
he came back with a lipstick on his shirt and when I
asked him he did not give me a straight answer...

She laughs a little with tears streaming down her.

Anesu: He manipulated me into thinking he did not

do it and I believed because I loved him and thought
that I was just being a jealous girlfriend, I asked him
nicely about it and he lied to me, I believe him and I
feel stupid for believing him...

She wipes her tears.

Anesu: I feel betrayed right now because he is the

first person I have ever loved, he was there when I
did not know who I was, he took me in and treated
me like his queen. He protected me and guarded
me, he made sure I was treated well under his
guidance. He introduced me to his brother's who
later became my brothers, he showed me love and
made me feel love for the first time. He taught me
how to love and he made me trust him then he
does this *chuckles* you know I told you that
everything I see is always true but you did not
believe me, my guardians showed me what was
happening and I did not listen to them because of
the trust I had in somebody who did not respect me
enough he chose to go find pleasure somewhere
else. Yes I am a virgin but I asked him if he would
wait and he gladly told me that he would wait, he
assured me that he would never hurt me only to
find out that he has already done more then hurt
me.
Ntethe: I really don't believe this, how can he do
something this pathetic? Nqoba seems like loyal
man...

Anesu: He isn't, he wasn't all along he was lying to

me and that's not all. He made a woman pregnant
and the bitch had the audacity to come to our door
step and tell me that she's carrying his child, the
heir to the throne and that he slept with her more
then twice...

She breaks down.

Anesu: I trusted him guys

Mwandle: I'm sorry you had to go through all this,

you don't deserve all this pain you are feeling and
mostly he doesn't deserve you
Ntethe: This is a huge betrayal but friend we won't
tell you what to do, this is your relationship and you
make the shots

Anesu: I'm done with him, I don't want to see him

ever again

Ntethe: I'm sorry baby don't cry, there are many

men out there who would kill to have you as their
woman and trust me his not the only men out there

Anesu: You are right about that, I just need to give

time to myself figure myself out and try healing
from all this

Mwandle: But you do know it won't be easy to

move on from a person you love like that?
Anesu: I know but feelings are just feelings and they
can be controlled, I won't let feelings control me
and I won't let that man manipulate me ever again.
I will make it clear to him that we are done and I
don't want any explaination from him, he made a
whole human being and I'm not about to be step
mother, it's not happening I'm just not ready

Ntethe: Whatever decision you want to make we

are here

Anesu: I will be staying here and I just need some

time alone so I can...

Her phone rang and his name flashes on the screen,

she starts running with anger and declines the call.

Ntethe: That's my girl

She smiles.

Anesu: I will take a shower and can you please

order a lot of food, I have an appetite of a lion and
I'm sleeping afterwards.

Mwandle: Consider all that done, I will start

ordering

Ntethe: I'm going to spend the night over

Anesu went to her room and she took a warm

shower, she spent half an hour crying on the
shower and then spent the other thirty bathing. She
got out of the shower and she wraps a towel
around her body, she walks out the room and she
stood in front of the mirror looking at herself.
Anesu: Don't I look beautiful enough that he had to
cheat on me?

She shook her head removing the negative thoughts

from her head and she starts drying her body, she
finished up and she lotions her body.

She wore a pair of sweat pants and a sweater, she

wore her socks since she was feeling cold. She sat
down on her bed and starts scrolling on the old
pictures she took with Nqoba, she blinks away her
tears and sniffs wiping her tears when she heard a
knock.

She raises her head and looks at Mwandle who

stood by the door.

Mwandle: The food is here

Anesu: I will be there in a minute

Mwandle gave her a smile and walks out, Anesu's

eyes fill with tears when he name appeared on her
screen once again. Why can't he just leave her
alone? Why can't he see that she wants nothing to
do with him?

She placed her phone on silent and stood up, she

looks at herself in the mirror and smiles faintly.

Anesu: You deserve better so don't accept nonsense

She walks out the room and she spent time with her
friends who comforted her, They were there for her
and made her feel loved, they shared the pain and
slept on the same bed when they went to sleep.
.
.
.
She over slept and they allowed her since they
knew she wasn't doing okay emotionally, They gave
her the space she required and don't push her into
anything. She yawns and stretches her body sitting
up straight, she rubs her eyes and she got out of
bed.

She went to wash her face and she walks out her
room, she went to the kitchen and found Mwandle
preparing breakfast. She looks at Mwandle with a
smile which she returned.

Anesu: Good morning sis

Mwandle: Morning, How are you feeling this

morning?

Anesu: I'm just taking baby steps but I will be fine

Mwandle: Great

Ntethe walks out the room and gave Anesu a hug.

Ntethe: Good morning baby

Anesu: Morning

Ntethe: So what are we doing today?

Anesu: I have classes which I don't feel like

attending because I just want to sit in the bed the
whole day and eat ice cream while crying

Mwandle: How about we go out for some

shopping? I need some groceries
Anesu: That sounds like a great idea

Ntethe: Okay we are going for shopping I guess

They were disturbed by a knock on the door and

then Anesu heard Nqoba's voice.

Nqoba: Babe please open the door i know you are

in here

Anesu: What is he doing here?

She groans in frustration and she covers her face

with her hands as her eyes fill up with tears.

Mwandle: I can open the door and tell him to leave

though I will do that after giving him a hot slap for
hurting my sister
Anesu sighs as there was another loud knock.

Anesu: I'm not ready to see him, I don't even want

to talk to him just...Tell him to go away

She got up from her seat and went straight to her

room. Ntethe and Mwandle went to open the door,
she opens the door and Nqoba stood at the door
step dressed in his suit.

Ntethe: Oh you even dressed in a suit looking all

good after you hurt our friends feelings

Nqoba: Good morning I just want to talk to my

woman that's all
Mwandle: You have no right to claim my sister like
that, you cheated on her and she doesn't want to
see you

Nqoba: I just want to talk to her and explain

everything to her

Ntethe: You want to explain to her how you made a

whole human being? Do you think she wants to
hear that

Nqoba held the bridge of his nose getting

frustrated.

Nqoba: Olay I don't have time to argue with you

two cause this is between me and Anesu, I don't
even know where and how you two enter so before
I start uttering harsh words...
Ntethe: Utter those harsh words and I will gladly
take you to the buttom of the ocean, you won't play
with our friend like this, she's not a toy and we
know that she deserves better

Nqoba clicks his tongue and starts shouting.

Nqoba: Anesu!

Mwandle: You are making noise

Nqoba: Anesu baby let me explain please

He shouts.

Ntethe: We told you she doesn't want to talk to

you, respect that
Nqoba: Stay out of it!

He snaps and Anesu could here them fighting one

another, she got annoyed and got out of the room.
She walks to the door and taps Ntethe on the
shoulder asking her to love aside, she looks at her
with worried eyes and Anesu nods.

Nqoba's eyes soften and his temper drops when he

saw her.

Nqoba: Baby...

Anesu: Why are you fighting them or you can't

understand what they are saying, I don't want to
talk nor see you Nqoba

Nqoba: Give me a chance to explain myself, I know I

broke your trust and...
Anesu: Don't even continue, I don't want to hear
anything you have to say because it's all rubbish.
You cheated on me and that's out of question, You
are grown man and you knew what you were doing.
You knew that you were dating me when you kissed
her, fucked her and went over to do it again and
again and again, I don't care about your explanation
because it doesn't mean anything and it won't
change anything. We are done Nqobuthando, you
broke my trust and I just can't do this relationship
thing with you, you don't deserve my love and you
don't deserve me so just go back home and take
care of your baby momma, forget about me and
don't bother me Nqoba, don't be a pain in the neck
just leave me alone okay?

She turns around and walks back to her room

without hearing anything he has to say, he stood at
the door with his jaw dropped.
Nqoba: Ntethe please talk to her she can't do this

Ntethe: She can and she just did, respect her and
get out of our door step before we call security

She closed the door in front of his face and

Mwandle rushes to check on her sister.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 68
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

Inside the tall building with multiple glass windows,

with a huge company name written in bold for you
to notice the minute you enter the gates. Inside the
building everyone is busy with work, glued on their
computer and ipads, it was busy and there was no
commotion.

On the first floor at the top, the empty block with

the bosses office and his business partners who
happen to be his brother's. Inside the heads office,
the room dark as if there was no life form inside. He
sat on his chair facing the outside, a glass of
whiskey in his hand and a half empty bottle of his
finest scorch. He sat there watching the vehicles
driving by, he has been sitting there for our almost
half an hour.

He has regrets and he wants to turn back the clock

and do things better but there's no possibility that
could be done. His eyes slowly fill with tears as he
starts thinking of the way he loves and adores
Anesu, he knows deep down that he messed up and
he regrets everything. If it was up to him he would
kill Gugu but he knows that he isn't heartless, he
doesn't want to make a mistake of murdering an
innocent soul that might happen to be his.

His office door opens and Madison walks in, she

was hesitant but clears her throat.

Madison: Boss?

Nqoba: I told you not to disturb me

Madison: I'm sorry sir but you have a meeting in ten

minutes and your clients are already here

Nqoba: The meeting will start in ten minutes not

now so do me a favour a get out

He gulps down the whiskey.

Madison: Once again I'm sorry sir

She walks out closing the door and Nqoba stood up

from his chair, turns around and when he turned
around had an intention of throwing the glass on
the wall. He throws the glass but the door opens
and Vezokuhle walks in, he dodges the glass by
dunking.

Vezo: What the hell?

He asked and Nqoba's heart skips a beat with his

eyes slightly wide with the fear he had that he
might have hit him with the glass, he turns around
and wipes the tears he had in his eyes.

Vezo turns on the light and Nqoba turns to face

him.
Nqoba: I didn't hear you knock? You lost your
manner now?

Vezo: My apologies, Are you Good?

Nqoba: Don't act like you care

Vezo: Of course I care you are my blood

Nqoba: Where were you as my blood brother when

I asked for your help?

Vezo sighs.

Vezo: You are still holding that grudge I see

He sat down on the chair and Nqoba gave him a

side eye.
Nqoba: Who told you to sit down?

Vezo: I'm also a owner of this company and

everything in this room, I have shares to so lower
that anger and place your grudges to the side

Nqoba clicks his tongue.

Vezo: I came here to check on you and instead of

being welcome, you are acting like a child? When
will you grow up? I know that this isn't you,
Nqobuthando doesn't act like this and you cheating
is a sign that you have lost your way

Nqoba: You don't know me

Vezo: I know you very well to write a whole novel

about you, I am your brother, raised the same way
you were raised. I know you Nqobuthando but the
person I'm seeing right now isn't you, how could
you do something like that to a person you claim to
love?

Nqoba lost power and he just sat down, he covers

his face with his hands and wipes his tears in a low
key way, he sniffs.

Nqoba: I allowed my dick to lead me, I shouldn't

have let the temptation get the best of me. I
shouldn't have slept with that woman it's just that I
was angry and I wanted to take out my frustration
on some object, I wanted to Fuck so bad...I wanted
to be rough and...

He breathes covering his mouth and paused.

Nqoba:You know how I am Vezokuhle, I am a man

and I have needs okay, that is no excuse I know but i
have been abstaining from sex for a long time and
trust me I was willing to wait for her but when I saw
the open door I just...I lost it and forgot about
everything

Vezo: You went back still and used no protection on

top of that

Nqoba: It was all a mistake which meant nothing to

me I swear and now I have lost the love of my life,
she told me she was done with me and doesn't
want anything that involves me

Vezo sighs.

Vezo: I won't be sympathic for you because you did

this to yourself but also I understand that you were
frustrated and just wanted to do all those nasty
stuff but again, sex isn't something you should take
out your frustration on yes it's nice but also she was
there for you to talk to but you decided not to

Nqoba frowns.

Nqoba: That is where I messed everything up now I

have a woman that I don't love staying in my house
with a child that might not be mine

Vezo: You should take responsibility to your

mistake, you can do better this time. I'm not telling
you to love Gugu but I'm telling and asking you to
take care of the baby, that's the innocent person in
all this and it's a pity that he or she has to be a
middle person.

Nqoba: I'm trying but she's making everything hard

with her feelings, I can see it in her eyes and the
way she's acting that she caught feelings
Vezo: Another Nkanyezi

He smirks.

Nqoba: Don't remind of that virus

Vezo laughs.

Vezo: But you should sit down and talk to her, make
yourself clear or maybe draw out a contract which
she will have to follow

Nqoba: You are smart I will call in our family lawyer

and ask him if he could get one ready

Vezo: I'm sure he will have something

Nqoba: So Fisokuhle is really getting married in two
days

Vezo: Yeah his gonna be a husband

They laughed.

Nqoba: He has always been a lover and he deserves

all the happiness

Vezo: We are going to have a bachler party

Nqoba: No strippers I have done enough sins

already

Vezo: Tell that to Zinathi

Nqoba: That whore of a man

They laugh.

He looks at his watch and cursed.

Nqoba: We have a meeting

Vezo: I forgot

He stood up and they walk out heading to the board

room, the found the rest of the brothers and they
went ahead with the meeting.

...

It was late and he walks out the building with his

brief case, he unlocks his car and he got inside. He
drove out and heads home, he arrives home though
it no longer feels like home without her presence.
He steps out the car with his brief case in hand, he
walks inside the house only to find Gugu in the
kitchen eating a sandwich. She was wearing one of
Anesu's dress and a hoodie of his, he clenched his
jaw and his hands form a first.

Nqoba: That dress doesn't belong to you

He placed his brief case on the counter and looks at

her.

Gugu: I know but I wanted something nice to wear

and I went to your room, found a few dresses I
loved and here i am dressed in one

He was about to grab her neck and pull out her

osopogus with his bare hands but he controls
himself, he tames the beast in him.
Nqoba: You went to my room?

Gugu: You heard me

Nqoba: Without my permission?

Gugu: But I thought you told me to make myself

feel at home

Nqoba: This isn't your home but my house, the only

reason that you and I are breathing the same air
right now is because of that baby inside your womb
either then that you mean nothing to me, you are
nothing and you will remain that, you are just
something I fucked and...

Gugu: You enjoyed

She smiles and Nqoba grabs her arms roughly
looking her dead in the eyes.

Nqoba: DON'T PUSH ME YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE

THE PERSON I BECOME WHEN ANGRY, I WILL MAKE
YOU GIVE BIRTH TO THAT BABY RIGHT NOW WHILE
STANDING ON YOUR FEETS

He clicks his tongue and she swallows.

Nqoba: You are my least favorite person right now

so don't make me lose my temper, I'm not afraid of
killing you would be the first person I have killed so
step on my toe...

He looks at her from head to toe and clicks his

tongue.

Nqoba: You are not welcome in my room ever again

He took his brief case and walks upstairs, Gugu just
rolls her eyes and clicks her tongue. She took out
her phone and dails Nkanyezi's number, she
answers on the second ring.

Nkanyezi: Hello?

Gugu: Nkanyezi...

Nkanyezi: Don't say my name, where are You?

She whispers.

Gugu: I'm in the kitchen

Nkanyezi: Stupid why are you calling me? Do you

know how observant that man you staying with is?
He will find out about our little relationship and he
will kill you

Gugu: I'm sorry it's that he is hard to crack

Nkanyezi: What did you do the last time that made

him want the cake?

Gugu: I was there for him and slowed him to vent

then it happened

Nkanyezi: Do just that, right now he is having a

heart break and he needs someone to be close to,
you should be that person. You should focus more
on making him love you rather then making him
hate you, if he is annoyed by you then our plan
won't work

Gugu: We should use a love potion

Nkanyezi: I tried it the last time and it did not work

Gugu: How come? A love potion always works

Nkanyezi: So are you trying to tell me that I'm

taking nonsense?

Gugu: Okay I'm sorry

Nkanyezi: Listen we can't keep talking like this,

continue with the plan Okay?

Gugu: I will thank you, I will see you soon

Nkanyezi hung up.

Gugu placed the phone on top of the counter and
she sat there eating her sandwich while deep in her
thoughts. She just made him annoyed by wearing
Anesu's clothes? How will she be able to get closer
to him when he seems to not want anything that
involves her? She thought and sighs.
.
.
.
The girls were out at the mall, They just finished
checking their dresses and everything is ready from
wedding decorations, food, invitations etc. They
decided to go to Mug&Beans to get something to
eat. They sat down as a crew having loud chats and
they were lucky that the were given a place to sit
outside or else everyone in the restaurant would be
looking at them.

Anesu was glued on her phone with her hoodie hat

on, she wasn't that deep into the convisation. She
was going through her texts with Nqoba and looking
at their pictures, Mwandle snatches the phone from
her hand and turns it off.

Anesu: What are you doing? Give me back my

phone

Mwandle: So you can sit there sulking while

watching the same picture you were watching when
we drive here

Anesu: They are my pictures so leave me alone

Ntethe: Its not healthy though

Anesu: I know but I just can't get him off my mind

Mwandle: Get him off your mind or else you are

going to get depressed
Anesu: But I feel depressed right now

Ntethe: You are not stop being stupid

Mwandle: While you are depressed like that you are

going to miss out on some yummy stuff

She points behind her using her eyes and eyebrows.

Anesu: What?

She turns around and Spots Andile, his tutor.

Anesu: That's my tutor and I missed class, oh my

God his approaching us
She turns around facing her friends and she took
her milkshake from the table, she starts sucking the
milkshake through the straw.

Andile: Good afternoon Ladies

Mwandle: Hey

Ntethe: Good afternoon

She hits Anesu with her elbow.

Anesu: What?

She hashed her teeth whispering to Ntethe and

quickly got rid of her annoyed facial expression, she
looks at Andile with a smile on her face.
Anesu: Mr...

Andile: Don't you even think about it, we are in

class nor need for formalities address me with my
name

Anesu smiles.

Anesu: Hey Andile, what are you doing here?

Andile: Its a public place and I should be asking you

that, You missed two classes this week

Anesu: I know its just that I have a lot going on

and...

Andile: A little text to notify me would have been

better, I was so worried and started to thinking
something bad happened to you
Ntethe: Ncoah isn't that thoughtful

Anesu gave her a bored look.

Anesu: I'm sorry I should have done that but I will

make sure to attend my classes next week

Andile: Please

Anesu: It was nice seeing you

Andile: Dismissing me already?

Anesu: Oh no sorry I'm not

Andile: I'm just pulling your leg, have a great day

and hope to see you soon
He leans over and kissed her on the cheek, he nods
goodbye to the other ladies and he left.

The girls starts screaming.

Mwandle: Oh my God!

Ntethe: Firstly his hot

Anesu: Haibo future Mrs Dube

Ntethe: I mean I have to tell the truth, he does have

something but nothing compared to my man

She pouts and Mwandle rolls her eyes.

Mwandle: Are you sure he only tutors You? Nothing
happened between the two of You?

Anesu: Nothing happened and nothing will ever

happen so keep your thought to yourselves

Ntethe: Never say never

Anesu groans in frustration and ate her fries.

Anesu: Okay how about we go clubbing tonight?

She decides to change the subject.

Mwandle: Since when do you like clubs and have a

feeling of going out?
Anesu: Since now, I want to have fun and get drunk
so I can forget about my problems

Ntethe: That is also not healthy all you need is a bed

and us cuddling you

Anesu: We did that yesterday and now I just want

to have fun, when was the last time we went out?

Mwandle: Its been a whole but still...

Anesu: no buts this has to be done

She looks at them and giggles when they nod.

Anesu: I can't wait

She smiles.
Mwandle: We haven't forgotten about the hot tutor
though

Anesu rolls her eyes and laughs.

Anesu: He is not hot...

She turns her head to the side a little bit and

mumbles.

Anesu: He is not that bad

She smiles to herself.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 69
NARRATIVE.

They sat there for almost and hour, They split the
bill since they all insisted on doing so. They took
Ntethe's car which took them straight to their
apartment, They arrived and the minute they got
there Anesu started making food for herself since
she felt hungry even though she ate minutes ago.

It got late with the sky dark navy with small starts in
the sky, a half moon in display. The roads busy and
the breeze welcoming, They got ready to head to
the club. They wore the same color but different
outfits, they spent almost half an hour doing their
make-up. They wanted to look good and have the
best night of their lives, Once they were all fully
dressed they took Ntethe car and went to the
nearest club.
They arrive and there were a lot luxurious car
parked outside, a line of people waiting to enter.
The girls step out of the car with their heels tapping
on the rough surface, They model to the door and
stood in front of security.

Ntethe looks at the security guy in the eyes with a

serious look on her face.

Ntethe: Don't just stand there open the door unless

you want to lose this job you have

She half shouts at the security guard who just stares

at her, after a few seconds of awkwardness Ntethe
and the security guard burst into laughter.

Ntethe: You should have seen your face

"You should have seen your face," he laughs and
Ntethe leans over for a hug.

Ntethe: Hey Lux these are my friends, Anesu and

Mwandle we are here to have the best time of our
lives

Lux: You sitting area is ready for you like you

requested

Ntethe: You are the best

She winks and Lux grants them excess, They walk

inside and a beautiful woman dressed in a bikini
directs them to their table.

Mwandle: Okay how do you know that guy?

Ntethe: He is an old friend of mine

Anesu: Old friend huh?

Ntethe: wait...no!

She shouts and the girls laugh.

Ntethe: It's not like that he isn't my type

Mwandle: Yeah right

Anesu: Let us get this party started, can we have

some shots

Ntethe: You are ready for this huh?

Anesu: You have no idea

The bottle girl came to serve them with their shots
of Jägermeister.

[Biri Marung by Ego Slimflow, Mr Pilato, and Tebogo

G Mashego] starts playing and the club went crazy.

Re phusha smokolo
Kae tshaba tsokolo
Bae rata voroso
Bare biri marung
Atletse mabotlolo
Ke bogobe bja skhokho
Ba nrata ke esta so
Bare biri marung
...
The song continues playing and more drinks came,
Anesu kept drinking bottle after bottle. She was
having the time of her life as she drowns her
sparrows with the alcohol. The lights were then
turned off and everyone went straight to dancing
mode, They played amapaino songs and the girls
were having so much fun. They took videos and
post on their Instagram story, the amapaino song
stops.

[Gas Pedal by Sage the Gemini starts playing ]

Everyone paired up with a partner and Ntethe was

with Mwandle, Anesu picks a random guy from the
crowed. She stood in front of him with her back
facing him, she kept swaying her ass waiting for her
favourite part.
...
Slow, grab the wall
Wiggle like you tryna make yo ass fall off
Hella thick I wanna smash 'em all, now
Speed up, gas pedal, now
Speed up, gas pedal
...

The time flew from half past seven to half past

eleven, The girls were exhausted and drunk. They
sat down having their shots and slowly jamming to
the music, Anesu felt her blender getting heavy and
she ignores it. She felter her blender getting
heavier and heavier, she decides to stand up and
when she stood up blood started dripping down her
legs. She felt the liquid in between her thighs and
thought maybe she peed herself but when she saw
the blood she started panicking.

Anesu: GUYS!

She shouts with her eyes out and the girls

immidielty stood up.
Mwandle: What the...are you Okay?

Anesu: I'm fine I don't know how...

She starts feeling sharp pain from her abdomen and

she gasped in pain.

Ntethe: Maybe it's your period

Anesu: Its not my period I already got them...ouch!

She wraps her arms around her abdomen and she

starts wailing in pain.

Mwandle: Okay this is a emergency

Ntethe: I can't drive because I'm drunk

Mwandle: Dammit! Anesu sit down I will call Vezo

Anesu: No don't call him I will be fine I just need to

use the bathroom and...argh!

She moans in pain as the blood dripping down her

legs became worse.

Ntethe: This doesn't need a toilet but a doctor, baby

call Vezo

Mwandle nods and rushes out the club, Ntethe

stays with Anesu who was groaning in pain as it got
worse. The dress was filled with blood and so was
the seat she was sitting on.

Anesu: It hurts

She cries and Mwandle walks back in.

Mwandle: He is on his way

Anesu: What is the problem?

Ntethe: We will find out once we get to the doctor

Anesu: I can't take this sharp pain

She squeezed her eyes shut and the pain started to

become unbearable, she was getting weak each
moment and Vezo walks inside the club. Mwandle
spots him and raised her hand in the air so he can
see them, he walks up to them and gasped when he
saw all the blood.

Vezo: What happened here?

Mwandle: We were partying and the next thing she
stood up going to the toilet and blood started
dripping down her legs

Vezo: Koti can you walk?

Anesu shook her head.

Anesu: I don't think I can in all this pain

Vezo: Can I carry you to the car?

Anesu: Please

Vezo nods and he lifts her up from the couch, Lux

cleared their path and Vezo walks out with Anesu.
He made her sit at the back with the girls and he
drove straight to the hospital, he arrived and quickly
rushed her inside.
Vezo went to the doctor as he walks into Anesu's
ward.

Vezo: Doctor do you know what might be wrong?

Doc: We are still going to examine her and we will

get back to you

Vezo nods and allows the doctor to walk inside the

ward, Vezo walks back to the girls who looked
stressed.

Vezo: I have never seen something like this

Ntethe: I hope she is okay

Vezo: I should call Nqoba and...

Mwandle: You know that they no longer together
and having him here right now isn't a good idea

Vezo: You are right

He sighs and dat down.

.
.

ANESU MTSHALI.

I woke up with my head heavy and I could still feel

the pain in my lower abdomen even though it's not
that much compared to the pain I felt while I was at
the club, i don't know the reason blood came out of
my private area and right now I'm laying on this bed
dressed in a hospital gown waiting for the doctor to
tell me what happened.
I don't even know what they did to me because the
minute I arrived they injected me with something
that cause drowsiness. Mwandle is seated next to
me along with Ntethe and it cute how they are
worried more then I am. I'm sure it was something
that involves my periods, it's nothing serious.

The doctor walks in and Vezo stood up, he acts

exactly like his brother. Why am I thinking of that
lunatic anyways?

The doctor sighs looking at me then back at the

paper he had in hand.

Doc: Miss Mtshali

Anesu: Yes doctor?

Doc: I come bearing good news and bad news
depends on how you will look at it

He looks at Vezo then back at me.

Vezo: I will be outside

He walks out.

My stomach became a knot and my heart starts

racing for some reason I'm not aware of.

Anesu: What do you mean good and bad news? I

was having my periods how is that bad news?

The doctor sighs.

Doc: You weren't having your periods ma'am

Anesu: What do you mean I wasn't having my
periods, what was wrong then?

Doc: You were three weeks pregnant

Ntethe covers her mouth.

Mwandle: Oh my God...

She gasped and starts crying, why is she crying and

what does the doctor mean when he says that I was
pregnant?

Anesu: I think you must be mistaken, I'm a virgin

Doctor and I don't think I can fall pregnant as a
virgin
Thus doctor has jokes.

Doc: Did you take part a pre-ejaculate action?

Anesu: What is that?

Doc: Did your partner pre-ejaculate fluid into your

viginal opening by any chance?

Anesu: Yes but I can't fall pregnant right?

Doc: You actually can even though the possibility

are low but it is possible

Anesu: wait doctor wait...What?

Doc: You were pregnant

Ntethe: Why are you dating it in past tense?

Doc: because she lost the baby

Mwandle gasped and I felt like a sharp spare was

stabbed right through my heart.

Doc: we found a huge amount of alcohol in your

system and the baby in your womb could not
handle the percent of alcohol in your system which
resulted to you having a miscarriage

A What? I can't be hearing thus directly, I was

pregnant and lost the baby? How come I did not
know about the pregnancy?

Anesu: I had a baby inside my womb and I wasn't

aware?
Doc: I'm sorry Miss Mtshali, you will have to come
tomorrow so we can clean your womb before it gets
infected and...

Anesu: What?

Doc: Your womb got damaged and I don't think you

will be able to have kids in the future, I'm truly sorry
Miss...

His voice starts fading in my ears and I couldn't hear

anything he said afterwards.

My cheeks start inching and my squeeze my eyes

hut trying to stop myself from crying, I heard the
door close and felt someone giving me a side hug. I
start breathing uncontrollably before breaking
down in whoever's arms. How come I did not see
any signs of pregnant? I had a whole human being
inside me and I wasn't aware, I wasn't going to drink
the alcohol if I knew. I wouldn't have touched the
alcohol if I knew I was pregnant, I lost my first baby
and in the future I won't be able to have any babies.

So the man I love cheats on me with a other woman

and makes her pregnant, I lose my first born child
with him just like that? I don't think the God is being
fair right now? Why does bad luck keep following
me? What have I done to God that makes him want
to punish me in such a bad way.

Anesu: Guys why is all this happening to me?

Mwandle: It's okay you are going to be fine

Anesu: It's not okay Mwandle, I lost my first born

baby which I did not even know I was carrying, I lost
a piece of me I didn't even get the chance to
connect with...you can't tell me that losing
something treasureous like that is okay and on top
of that I won't have babies in the future?

Mwandle: Everything happens for a reason

Anesu: What is the reason Mwandle? What is the

stupid reason? Why did I even drink the stupid
alcohol?

I bursts into tears and Ntethe comforts me, i spent

half an hour crying and i couldn't stop. I was in deep
pain and my whole body felt numb, my heart felt
like it has been chopped into pieces. Ntethe and
Mwandle gave me some space, I told them not to
say a single word to Vezokuhle for now. I shouldn't
have went to the club, I shouldn't have drank that
alcohol. I place my hand on my belly, I slowly rub
my belly and cried non-stop.

Anesu: I'm truly sorry

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 70
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

When it was time to sleep he couldn't sleep, he

would close his eyes but instead of sleeping he
would toss and turn. He did this the whole night
and when he could not bare the discomfort, he
decided to head to the gym. He arrived in his in
door gym, he stares at himself in the mirror and he
took off his vest.

He stares at his physical appearance and he plugs in

his favorite album by Kendrick Lamar, he wears
gloves around his hand to protect them. He stood in
front of the punching beg and he gathers his
thoughts, he was angry at himself for being stupid.
He was angry for ruining something special, the only
thing that made sense to him.

He starts punching the beg along to the beat of the

song, sweat dripping down on his forehead. His
whole body wet and he took out his anger of the
punching beg. He groans at the same time with
each punch he threw at the bag, he spent an hour
punching the beg and not taking any break.

His whole body was aching and he was breathing

heavily, he gave the beg one last punch and he
steps back letting out a loud exhale.

Nqoba: Fuck!

He cursed as he starts stretching his arms and body,

he disconnects the music and he walks out the gym.
He walks down the stairs and he went to the
kitchen, he took out a glass from the carboard and
he went to the sink.

He opens the tap and water pours into his glass, he

fills his cup up and turns off the tap once the glass
was full. He drank the water with his eyes focused
outside the open blind and he heard someone clear
her throat, he turns around only to find Gugu
dressed only on a t-shirt.

He moves the glass away from his mouth and looks

at her from head to toe, he exposed thighs and he
round belly showing on the t-shirt she was wearing.

She bites her lower lip and slowly walks up to him,

she stood in front of him her eyes focused on his
physic. She was about to place her hands on his
chest but he quickly pushed her hands away before
she could even touch his skin.
Nqoba: Don't even think about it, Why are you up at
this time?

Gugu: The loud music woke me up and how can I

sleep while you are unable to sleep?

Nqoba just chuckles.

Nqoba: I see where this is going and it's not going to

work so I suggest you go get some sleep

Gugu: I don't want to sleep, I want something else

Nqoba: I don't think I will be able to help you with

whatever that you want

He gulps down his water and he was about to move

away from the sink when she grabs her by his
manhood looking straight into his eyes, he groans
and clenched his jaw.

Gugu: Can you just give me what I want?

Nqoba: How am I suppose to give you something

when I'm not aware of what it is

Gugu's lips slowly form a smile and she steps closer,

he used his right hand to hold her waist while his
left hand slowly reached for something on the sink.

He pulls her closer with his eyes locked with hers,

he brought his face closer to hers and he slightly
brought his lips to hers though they did not touch. It
was like he was teasing her on had a plan in motion,
his left hand finally grabs something sharp. He pulls
out a knife and he slightly brought his left hand
which had the knife of her back, she felt the sharp
part of the knife slowly piercing through her skin
and she gasped.

He gave her a dead stare and whispers to her ear.

Nqoba: I'm not weak to fall for your stupid acts, the
man standing in front of you is different from the
man who gladly forgot his morals and slept with a
woman whose vigina pairs with every penis it
comes across. I was stupid then but I'm not stupid
now, you made me lose the one person who owns
my heart and the one person whose is able to tame
the beast in me and right now I'm on revenge mode
so watch your steps, try another act like this one
and I will...

He pressed the knife deeper on her back and blood

starts dripping on her back.
Nqoba: This knife will go straight into your belly, I
don't care if it's my Fucking baby cause I have done
worse. I can be heartless when I want so don't make
me go there, I will feed you that baby cause it's
quite obvious that you are not appreciating the fact
that I'm allowing you to stay here...

Gugu: Nqoba you are hurting me

Nqoba: That is the aim

He removes the knife and gently pushed her.

Nqoba: Don't poke a snake from it hole cause you

won't be able to handle it's venomous bite

He clicks his tongue and he walks upstairs, he stops

on his track and he looks at her.
Nqoba: When I return from work tomorrow we
have a meeting and a score to settle

He walks up the stairs and Gugu stood there

disappointed. He arrives in his room and he went to
take a shower, Once he was done taking a shower
the minute he laid on the bed he went straight to
sleep.

ANESU MTSHALI.

She spent the night at the hospital because the

doctors had to do a dilact to clean her uterus, the
following morning she was woken up by the nurse
and she was taken through the whole procedure,
she told them she was a virgin and the Nurse told
her that they will use Minimally invasive techniques
to minimize potential discomfort and damage. They
took blood tests and gave her fasting instructions,
she had to spend the whole day with an empty
stomach in order for the procedure to be done
properly.

She sat in her ward and she stared at the television

screen with her mind focused on something else
either then the television.

The door opens and her friends walk in bringing a

smile to her face.

Ntethe: Hey Munchkin

Anesu: Hey cuddle bear

Mwandle: How are you feeling?

Anesu: I feel numb, Lost and in a lot of pain

Mwandle: I'm really sorry for you loss, what are the
doctors going to do?

Anesu: I'm going to do a dialect to clean my uterus

to minimise infections in the womb

Ntethe: We are here for you all the step of the way

Anesu held both their hands and smiled.

Anesu: Thank you guys

Mwandle: When are you planning on telling Nqoba?

Anesu frowns.
Anesu: I don't know when but right now I want to
focus on your big day which is tomorrow, I will tell
him once I feel like telling him

Ntethe: But you do know that he deserves to know

right?

Anesu: I'm aware of that

She sighs.

Anesu: When I go in for the appointment can you

call someone for me

Ntethe: Who?

Anesu: My father
She swallows after uttering those two words as if
she just ate lemon.

Mwandle: I thought you wanted nothing to do with

him

Anesu: I know that I wanted nothing to do with him

but last night I had a dream, i saw countless dead
bodies and my hands were filled with blood as if I
was the one at fault for their deaths

Ntethe: What does this have to do with your father?

Anesu: He once told me that back at home, they are

going through something more of a curse because
of my disappearance. He said something about the
ancestors being angry about the fact that my
mother lied about my death, They haven't had rain
for twenty years and the only reason to get rid of
this curse of theirs is for me to go back home and
I'm thinking of doing that after your wedding

She looks at Ntethe who pouts.

Ntethe: You are going to leave me?

Mwandle: But those people aren't your family I'm

your family, you can't just go help people who
threw you away

Anesu: Mwandle I know you are my family and it's

not like I'm going to forget about you the minute I
leave, you will always be my family I just want to
help my father since he is innocent in all this

Ntethe: Thank God you finally realised that

Anesu smiles and frowns looking at Mwandle.

Mwandle: But still...

Anesu: Thingokazi I don't need to start an

agreement with you, I'm going through a lot right
now and I'm trying to fix my problems and myself.
This journey back home seems to be the only right
first step

Mwandle: I'm sorry it's just that I don't want to lose

you to them

Anesu: You won't lose me to anyone, I will always

be your sister and you will always be mine blood
related or not do you hear me?

Mwandle just gave Anesu a tight hug and kissed her

in the cheek.
Mwandle: I wish I could carry your pain with you

Anesu: That's thoughtful of you but this is my

journey and I'm the one whose going to have to fix
all this

Mwandle: I love you okay?

Anesu: I love you too baby sister

She squeezed into a hug and the door opens, the

doctor along with the nurses walk in. Mwandle
moves away from her sister and she stood next to
Ntethe.

Doctor: It is time
Anesu nods and tries getting off the bed, she was
able to stand on her feet and the Nurse came in
with a wheelchair. She sat on the wheel chair and
they took her to the ward, she sat on the bed and
they gave her Anesthesia to minimise discomfort.

After a few seconds the anesthesia kicks in and she

lays down on her back, she was positioned to sit
with her feets in stirrups. They start with the
procedure a d they removed the tissue remaining
tissues from miscarriage, the health care provider
examines the uterus to ensure that all the tissue
was removed.

After they were done she was taken to a recovery

room to recover from the anesthesia and she was
given medication for the cramps.

She slept.
She was woken up by her active nostrils who could
recognize a familiar scent, she slowly opens her
eyes which felt heavy and she flaps her eyelids
open.

She saw a man figure standing next to her bed and

she closed her eyes, she opens her eyes once again
and she saw Msawenkosi standing there dressed in
casual clothes.

He noticed that she was waking up and he went to

help her sit up straight.

Musa: Princess

Anesu: Baba?

Msawenkosi's heart melts.

Musa: Are you okay? Why are you in the hospital?
What happened to you? Did you even eat you look
drained

Anesu: Slow down Musa

She laughs a little and stops.

Musa: Answer me

Anesu: I don't want to talk about it right now

Musa: I'm not going to push you into anything, your

friend gave me a call and told me you wanted to see
me

Anesu: I changed my mind...

Musa: Regarding?

Anesu: I will go back home with you

Musa: You will?

Anesu: Yes I will not because I have forgiven my

mother for what she did but because I just after
losing my ch...

She clears her throat.

Anesu: I feel like I should visit my homeland and

connect with my people to find some healing

Musa: Okay I understand dear but why do I feel like

you are hiding something from me?
Anesu: I'm not hiding anything from you

Musa: Look at me

Anesu hesitates and finally looks at her father.

Musa: What brings you to the hospital and what's

bothering you?

Anesu shook her head as her emotions started

rising all over again, she did not want to cry.

Anesu: Baba please...

Musa: Talk to you father, I'm here for you and there
is no need for you to keep your feelings inside, you
can talk to me as your father and I will listen to you
Anesu: It's a lot and I just...

She breaths.

Musa: Break it down for me

Anesu: Do you remember Nqobuthando?

Musa: Dube right?

Anesu nods.

Anesu: His and I broke up...

Musa: Did he hurt you?

Anesu nods.
Musa: What did he do?

Anesu: He cheated and made a whole human being

Musa: How did you react to that when you found

out?

Anesu: I broke up with him

Musa: Good girl...

Anesu's jaw dropped.

Anesu: How is any of that Good? I love him baba

Musa: But he did something that broke the

foundation of your relationship which is trust, if you
had stayed he would have done it again so it's good
you left him. I won't have a child who allows a man
to control her decisions by manipulating her
feelings, you need to be a woman and also think like
a man. Your father is here now and I will protect
you...

Anesu: That is not the whole story...

Her eyes fill with tears.

Musa: What happened?

Anesu: I was also pregnant with his child

Musa's jaw drops.

Musa: was?
Anesu: The reason for that past tense is the reason
why I'm in this hospital

Musa: You lost the baby?

That came out as a whisper.

She nods and starts crying, Musa stood up and went

to give his daughter a hug.

Musa: I'm sorry sthandwa sababa everything is

going to be okay, don't cry okay?

He comforts her till she stops crying.

Musa: Does the father of the child know?

Anesu: He doesn't

Musa: You should tell him

Anesu: I don't want to tell him because I don't like

the way he will see me, he will consider me as a
useless woman who lost his child. He won't see me
as a woman, he will start comparing me to the
woman who was able to give him a child and will
call me a disgrace

Musa: No man will call my daughter a disgrace,

losing a child is normal...

Anesu: I won't be able to have children in the future

Musa was out of words.

Musa: Okay we really need to take you back home
there is a lot that has to be fixed but honestly
speaking Nqoba deserves to know, out your
thoughts aside. You know what type of a man he is
since you spent time with him, you can't hide a child
you lost from him because that every same child is
also his. So you need to tell him before we leave

Anesu sighs.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 71
FISOKUHLE DUBE.

Have you ever been so sure about a decision you

made that even when you think about it you know
that deep down you have made a decision you will
never regret? That is how Fiso is feeling today as he
us about to tie the knot with the love of his life, the
only person who understands him when he is not in
the good mood, when sad, when he is going
through something. The only person who loved him
for who he was and isn't afraid to be herself when
around him, a person who commited to the
relationship before it even turned into one.

He stood in front of the full body mirror dressed in

his white tuxido with a red rose on his left pocket,
he appeared smart and handsome.

He couldn't not stop smiling to himself

remembering the first day he laid his eyes in her, it
was like a fairytale and he shook his head realising
that he has been adjusting the same cufflink the
whole time.
He finishes up and he looks at himself, his brothers
walk in and he starts getting nervous. Deep down
he does know that Ntethe won't leave him in the
altar and change her mind because she loves him
but you know what fear does to other people.

Vezo: Look at you looking like me

Fiso rolls his eyes and scoffs.

Fiso: You are full of jokes

Vezo smiles widely.

Nathi: You cleaned up nice brother

Fiso: Thank you, has she arrived?

Nqoba: Why are you nervous all of assuden?

Fiso: I don't know why but my never are really

playing games with me

Vezo: Everything will be fine relax, this day will go

smoothly for you

Fiso breaths out and there was a knock on the door,

the door opens and Ntongolozi walks in dressed in a
red dress. Her eyes fill with tears when she laid her
eyes on her son, he opens her arms and Fiso smiles
like a baby as he went to give his mother a hug.

Ntongolozi: You look so cute baby

Fiso: Thank you mma

Ntongolozi: I really can't believe that you are
divorcing me for real

She fakes tears and the brothers just laugh, Fiso

pulls her into a hug.

Fiso: You know that you will always be the first lady

Ntongolozi: No words can explain how happy I am

for you son, I hope your brothers learn a thing or
two from you in fact you should start giving them
lessons on how to keep a woman

Fiso laughs.

Nathi: Mma we don't need lessons we know what

we are doing
Vezo: The way things are looking I feel like we will
be having another wedding soon

Nathi: And Bhut'Nqoba will marry his baby mama

He bursts into laughter and Nqoba gave him a side

eye.

Nqoba: I will forget that mom is here and I will lick

your ass, ungijwayela kabi

He clicks his tongue and Nathi laughs, Vezo joins.

Ntongolozi: Speaking of baby mama, I saw her few

seconds ago

Fiso: You brought her here?

Nqoba: Once she saw the invitations she insisted on
going and you know I don't like it when a person
constantly nags me so I took her with

Nathi: What were you thinking I warned you?

He smirks and Nqoba punches him on the arm left

playfully, Nathi rubs his left arm looking at his
mother.

Nathi: Ouch! Mma

Ntongolozi: Its none of my business you should get

a girlfriend soon so you stop calling me each time
your brothers give you what you deserve

Nathi: Mma I deserve...

He was about to complain but Ntongolozi raided a
finger stopping him.

Ntongolozi: This is your brothers big day so let's

focus on that shall we?

Fiso smiles widely.

Fiso: Thank you

Vezo: We should get going and stand on our posts

Fiso's heart starts racing but he kept calm, he walks

out with his brother's. It was cloudy outside, the
venue was in a lodge owned by Vezokuhle's friend.
The lodge was in front of the beach, It was a small
and simple wedding with family and friends only,
the team of the day was red and white since it's the
month of love.
The aisle was decorated with red and white roses,
Fiso stood on the aisle with pastor in the middle. He
fixed his suit and clears his throat, he looks at his
mother who was seated on the front row who gave
him a wink boosting his confidence.

The entrance door opens and the bride maids along

with the groomsmen walk in, with their arms locked
around in one another's arm.

THERE GOES MY HEART BEATING

'CAUSE YOU ARE THE REASON
I'M LOSING MY SLEEP
PLEASE COME BACK NOW

AND THERE GOES MY MIND RACING

AND YOU ARE THE REASON
THAT I'M STILL BREATHING
I'M HOPELESS NOW

They walked down the aisle in the same rhythm of

the song, Mwandle and Vezo kept smiling at one
another ad they walked. It was as if they were
seeing each other getting married, Nathi paired
with a woman he doesn't know but plans on
smashing after the wedding, he smirks alone as he
walks.

Nqoba looks down at Anesu who had her eyes fixed

on reaching the aisle which seemed go be far, she
wanted to be away from Nqoba instantly.

The way he looked at her it's as if he wanted to tell

her how hopeless he felt without her.
...

I'D CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN

AND SWIM EVERY OCEAN
JUST TO BE WITH YOU
AND FIX WHAT I'VE BROKEN
OH, 'CAUSE I NEED YOU TO SEE
THAT YOU ARE THE REASON

She unlocks her arm around his and he held her

hand looking into her eyes, she looks at him for a
second and removes her hand from his grib.

Gugu folds her arms and clicks her tongue.

Nqoba went to stand on the groomsmen side and

he could not keep his eyes off Anesu who kept
avoiding eye contact, she kept tapping her free
hand on her left thigh wanting to be over and done
with what was happening.

Nqoba finally looks away.

Everyone stood up and Fiso's eyes were focused on
the door, he bites his lower lip trying to calm his
nerves which were up on a hundred percent. The
entrance door opens and light shines on the
entrance as if an angle was to walk out and indeed
his thought were exact. Ntethe took a step forward
with her father by her side, she was dressed in a
white gown with silver pearls, a vail with a small
crown on her head, her make up on point and she
smiles when her eyes met with his.

Tears fill his eyes and blur his vision.

[ I believe in you and I by Whitney Houston starts

playing]

I believe in you and me

I believe that we will be in love eternally
Well, as far as I can see
You will always be the one for me
Oh, yes, you will

I believe in dreams again

I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I'm free
'Cause I believe in you and me

I will never leave your side

I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down
I will always be around
Just to be right where you are
My love, oh, you know I love you, boy
She walks as the song played and she finally
reached the aisle, Mr Mnguni looks at Fiso and he
smiles.

Mr Mnguni: Take care of my daughter, treat her like

the princess she is and if you bring her broken I will
break you

Fiso: Thank you Sir, I will take care of her

Mr Mnguni gave Ntethe a kiss on the cheek, he

hands her over to him and he went to stand next to
his wife.

She looks at him with a wide smile onnher face.

Ntethe: You look handsome baby

Fiso: I want to kiss you right now

He whispers and Ntethe smiles, the pastor laughs.

Pastor: let's close our eyes and thank the Lord for
keeping us all safe, for giving these two souls a
chance to live one another and for him to bless
them with eternal happiness

Ntethe: Amen

Everyone closed their eyes and the pastor starts

blessing everything, she held his hand and started
praying along with the pastor and so did he. The
words that came out of their mouths was powerful
and left the crowed shocked.

Pastor: Amen

He opens his eyes.

Pastor: We are gathered here to...

ANESU MTSHALI.

Ntethe's big day was a complete success, she seems

happy and I'm glad that she finally got the marriage
she deserves. After the exchanging of vows and
rings, we went to the after party or celebration
party. Everyone sat on the table that had their
name and to my luck being unfavourable to me, I
sat opposite Nqobuthando and his baby mama.
What was her name again? Gugu? Argh I don't even
care what her name is.

I sat there and watch the two of them whispering

into each other's ear and he laughs out loud, is it
me or mu jealousy getting the best of me. Why does
he seem happy with her? Did he plan all this or he is
doing all this to make me angry? I think it's working
because my eyes are glued on them, my eyes move
down to her hand which was on her belly bump.
She gave her belly a gentle rub and my cheeks start
stinging at the sight of all this, Why did I have to
lose my baby? I should be the one sitting there with
him and laughing like that, I should be the one with
that belly bump.

I move my eyes from her belly and when I raised

them, he was staring straight at me. I quickly look
away with my heart racing, was he staring at me all
along?

Musa: You are staring to much dear

Did he have to tell me that? I know I'm Staring to

much but it's just that I can't help myself.
Anesu: I want to get out of here, I can't stand this
sight...

Musa: You can't stand the sight of him with another

woman or the sight of her carrying his baby?

My cheeks sting again and I felt tears building up in

my eyes, after a few seconds my eyes were blinded
completely with tears.

Anesu: Are your words suppose to comfort me or

break me more?

Musa: It was just a simple question, you should talk

to him

Anesu: Excuse me
I stood up and walk out the room wiping the tears
that were flowing down my cheeks, it luck that I did
not wear any make up.

I decided to go to the beach side to clear my mind

and I took off my shoes, I walk on the sand with my
bare feets. I close my eyes as I could hear the waves
splashing and creating a loud sound which made my
heart jump out of excitement. I felt connected with
the water and I sat down on the sand, I cuddled my
legs and watch the sun setting on what seems to
look like the end of the ocean but we all know that
the ocean doesn't end.

With my eyes closed I could feel the sudden change

in the atmosphere, my nostrils fill with an
intoxicating scent which made my whole body
shiver ad I felt his heavy intimidating presence.

I shoot my eyes open and I sighed.

Anesu: Why did you follow me?

He chuckles and he stood next to me.

Nqoba: I could see that you are not okay so I just

wanted to check on you

Anesu: Well I'm fine there is nothing for you to

worry about, you should go back inside and check in
your baby mama she might be looking for you

Nqoba: There is no need for you to bring that up

I shrug rocking back and forth.

Nqoba: Can I join you?

Anesu: No

He does not listen to me because he never does, he

sat down next to me and I just let him be.

Nqoba: You know I have been meaning to talk to

you...

He paused and I just froze.

Nqoba: I did not mean to allow my sexual desires to

get the best of me and I never meant to hurt you, I
was stupid and a fool to think that I should hide
something like this from you. I know you asked me
to tell you the truth and I decided to keep
everything to myself, I did this because I was afraid
of losing you which happened anyways. I broke your
trust and I regret everything I did, shouldn't have
done it and honestly I miss you baby...
I close my eyes.

Anesu: I need to tell you something

The words quickly escape my mouth and he looks at

me with his eyebrow elevated up.

Nqoba: What do you need to tell me? I'm listening

Anesu: If it was for me I would have not told you

this because it's my business but you also deserve
to know the truth I will tell you...

Nqoba: Ngilalele (I'm listening)

Anesu: I went to the club with Ntethe and Mwandle

the aim was to drown myself with alcohol in order
to numb the pain I felt in thought that I would
forget about my feelings and what happened but
something worse and unexpected happened...

I play with my fingers.

Anesu: Do you remember the time when you

released your sperm on my viginal opening not once
but twice?

Nqoba: uhm...yes I do remember but what does

that have to do with what you have to tell me?

Anesu: It has something to do with what I'm about

to say because i was pregant and i did not know
that I was pregnant and if I knew trust me I
wouldn't have went to the club and drank all that
alcohol...
Nqoba: Wait Wait you were pregnant? Wait...

He paused and looks at me.

Anesu: I had a miscarriage and lost the baby

His jaw drops and I could feel his eyes getting heavy
on me.

Nqoba: How is that even possible? You are a virgin

though?

Anesu: I know that it is confusing but I'm also

confused as you, I don't know how all this
happened but I'm shattered to know that I won't be
able to have children of my own. I also want to
apologise for loosing your child...
Nqoba: Hey hey there is nothing to apologise for
you weren't aware of the human you were carrying
inside you

Anesu: But still I drank the alcohol and caused the

baby to die, I killed the innocent soul because of my
selfish acts. I killed my very first born because I
thought about it feelings and forgot about him or
her now I will never be able to carry a child, I will
never be able to be mother. I will never know how it
feels to carry a soul and I will never have those
sleepless nights guarding the baby, I will never
connect with my baby while breast feeding him or
her...

I wipe my tears and he sat closer, he gave me a side

hug and I push him away.

I don't want him near me.

Nqoba: Stop fighting me

Anesu: Don't touch me!

I shout, he pulls me to his chest and I let my tears

flow out.

Nqoba: It's okay

Anesu: I'm sorry Nqoba, I'm sorry that I failed you...

Nqoba: You did not fail and you will never fail me,
this doesn't me anything even though it hurts and is
unexpected but this doesn't and won't determine
anything. being unable to carry a child does not
mean you are not a woman, you are a strong
courageous woman and you are still the same in my
eyes...
I don't know why his words give me so much hope, I
don't know why I'm being recieved by my body and
heart for feeling safe around him. I don't know why
I don't want him to let go of me, he held me in his
arms as I broke down.

Anesu: Thank you...

I sniff pulling out from the hug.

Anesu: I needed to hear those words

Nqoba: You are going to be okay

Anesu: I will try being okay even though there's a

scare left open in my heart that I won't ever be a
mo...

He placed his finger on her lips.

Nqoba: Don't you dare speak negativity, you will be
a mother and you will carry my child

I roll my eyes as an image of Gugu whose already

carrying his child creeps into my head.

Anesu: We are no longer together so I doubt that

will ever happen

Nqoba: I will fix this

Anesu: There is nothing you will fix here

I gently live away from him and stood up, he sighs

looking at me.

Nqoba: I will notify my family so we can cleanse you

Anesu: My father thought of the same thing

Nqoba: I saw you brought him as you plus one

Anesu: Yes we decided to fix things and give our

father and daughter a relationship a chance

Nqoba: So you are telling me that relationships can

be fixed and second chances are given

Anesu: Those terms don't apply to you

We look at each other for a few minutes, I look

away.

Anesu: We should schedule for cleansing before I

leave for Zimbabwe
Nqoba: You are leaving?

Anesu: Yes I'm leaving my homeland needs me,

They need their princess and I have to reach out

Nqoba: You are going to stay there permanently

Anesu: Depends on how things night turn out

Nqoba: I will never see you again?

He looks at me in the eyes and he had this sad facial

expression, I got lost in his eyes and we were
disturbed by someone clearing his/her throat.
I turn my head to find Gugu standing behind up, I
quickly stood up realising that this was my time to
leave.

Gugu: What is happening here?

Nqoba: Nothing that concerns you

I walk past him giving him space to talk to Gugu but

he held my arm, I stop and look at him. He placed
his hand on my waist and he looks deep into my
eyes searching for my soul.

Nqoba: We are not done talking

Anesu: We are done talking

He shook his head.

Anesu: We are done...

He sighs and loosens the his grib on my arm, I walk

back inside and went to my father to notify him that
I told him. He gave me a tight hug and we talked
about how we are you going to squeeze the
cleansing ceremony in all our plans, I went to
congratulate my friend before leaving.

My phone rang as I walked out and it was a call

from Nqoba, I stare at the screen for a few seconds
and declined the call.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 72
MSAWENKOSI ZWIDE.
He sat inside his black SUV with his daughter, the
SUV was taking them to the airport to board a plan
which will take them to Zimbabwe. Yesterday the
Dube family along with Msawenkosi as the head of
the family came to a decision on how Anesu will be
cleansed. He sat there with a lot on his mind, he
looks at Anesu who was wearing a green dress and
had a white doek wrapped around her head.

He saw how her mind was somewhere else, he

looks at her with concern written all over his face.
As she sat there she could feel his eyes on her but
she told herself that she won't turn around no
matter the cost, Musa sighs and he got busy on his
phone.

They arrive at the airport and Msawenkosi was the

first to get out of the plane, the driver unloads the
begs out of the car and took them to the cargo of
the plane.
Anesu sat inside the car and she let's out the tears
she was holding throughout the whole ride from
Nqoba's place to the airport, she lifts her head up
and stares up at the ceiling of the cat trying to stop
her tears from coming out.

Anesu: God please grant me the strength to

overcome all this, give me strength as I'm about to
go meet the woman who threw me away and
wanted nothing to do with me. Shine your light on
me and protect me from whatever bad situation i
don't know that might be coming my way...

She sighs.

Outside Msawenkosi stood there and he had one

hand on his hip, it seems as if he did not believe
what was being said through the phone by his
eldest son Sqalosethu.
Musa: I'm telling you to board a plane this instant
there will be a huge meeting that will be held and
you are telling me that you have plans?

Sqalo: Baba I have plans and work to do, I can't just

cancel everything because you have me a late call
that there will be a meeting

Musa clenched his jaw.

Musa: I'm the reason you are there doing that job
and I'm telling you that you will board a plane and
come home or else I will come there and bring you
home myself. You know me well enough to know
that I'm capable of doing anything, notify you
brother Ayavuya

Sqalo: But Father this is...

Musa: No buts, I don't want to hear any excuses am
I clear?

Sqalo: Yes father you are clear

Musa: Good I don't know why you being stubborn

like this, act like a man argh!

He clicks his tongue and hug up, he turns around

and Anesu was making her way inside the plane. He
took out his wallet and paid the driver, he went to
board the plane and he sat on a different seat
wanting to give his daughter some space. Though
that did not stop him from asking...

Musa: Are you okay princess?

Anesu slightly nods her head.

Musa: You know I won't believe you till you open
your mouth and utter to me that you are okay

Anesu smiles a little.

Anesu: I'm fine tata it's just that I get nervous when
ever I board a plane and the only person whose
able to calm me down when I'm like this is Nqoba,
plus I'm also thinking on hos your wife will react
when she sees that I'm alive

Musa: She knows that you are alive

Anesu's eyes widen.

Anesu: How does she know? You told her?

Musa: Yes I had to confront her after I found out
that she lied about your death and I almost...

Anesu: You almost killed her?

Musa sighs and his nods slowly.

Musa: I would have killed her but I remembered

that I'm a man and I should learn to control my
feelings

Anesu: You are no difference from Nqoba

Musa laughs a little.

Musa: Tell me more about this Nqoba of yours...

Anesu: He is not mine

Musa laughs a little once more and nods.

Musa: Okay he is not yours now tell me how did you

two meet?

Anesu: Well the way we met is quite different from

the way ordinary couples meet, let me just say we
met under wierd circumstances. What people tell
me is quite different from what I felt or thought,
They said I walked out of the beach with no clothes
on but personally I did not even know that I had no
clothes on. I walked down the road naked and
across the road Nqoba was hosting something
because there were a lot of media people and
something told me to go see what was going on. It
was both curiosity and something I can't explain in
words as to what it was actually, when I got there
he was talking. Personally I have never seen a man
who looks so handsome, flawless and screams
respect, intimidation just by looking at him that was
when his eyes and mine locked...

She smiles alone remembering how everything

went down and Musa was listening attentively.

Anesu: He looked at me as if he knew me and

because he had paused from his statement, the
people taking pictures and videos turned their
heads to look at what or should I say who he was
looking at. When they saw me they started clicking
pictures, that when I heard his voice filled with both
anger and care as he pushed through the crowed to
catch me as I was falling due to being blinded by the
countless flashes of cameras in front of me. He
covered me up ad I fell in his arms, I don't
remember what happened after that but I woke up
in the middle of the night remembering everything
from being pushed into the river by some bullied
back at the village. I told him my actual name and
he promised to find my family since at that time I
was separated from my mother and my sister...

Musa: The woman who took care of you all these

years?

Anesu: Yes my mother *smiles*

Musa: Yes her, during your narration of your story

you told me you drowned...

Anesu: Yes I drowned and stayed underwater under

the protection of some spirits for twenty years. So
while y'all had no rain I was stuck inside the
water...

Musa: You came out grown?

Anesu nods her head and laughs a little.

Anesu: I also don't know how it all happened but I
came out fully grown

Musa: You are indeed like your grandmother, you

even have her eyes...

Anesu: You lie, you are going to tell me storied

about her right?

Musa: I will defiantly tell you but most stories are

known by our royal seer Chumuka

Anesu: oh okay

The plane took off and they continued to chat, the

flight was five hours long. Anesu slept through the
flight and she was woken up by her father who
notified her that they have arrived, she woke up
and sat up straight rubbing her eyes. She sighs
deeply gathering her emotions and courage, she
stood up taking her side beg.

She walks out the plane and she stood by the door,
she looks up the sky which had grey clouds which
were slowly gathering forming a union of dark grey
clouds. She walks down out of the plane and she
looks up at the sky, she closed her eyes and inhales
the air of her homelands.

She walks down the stairs and she went to the black
BMW which had a munber plate with her father's
clan name, she opens the door for herself and she
got inside the care.

She looks at her father and he held her hand with a

smile on his face.

Musa: Are You ready?

Anesu: No I'm not ready

Musa: I can assure you that everything will be okay

and I won't let anything bad happen to you in that
palace while I'm around. I'm your father and your
should treat me like your father, be open to me
about anything because that's the only way we can
strengthen our relationship

Anesu nods and the driver starts the car, he took

them to the Zwide royal palace. The ride from the
airport to the palace was really long, They had to
pass a few mountains before the saw a board which
showed that they are approaching the palace. They
passed the village which did not seem to be in a
good state, it didn't look clean either. Anesu stares
outside the window with pity all over her eyes and
she looks at her father.
Anesu: Is this how people are living?

Musa: Without rain it has been hard, the lands are

dry and no crops are growing for everyone to
provide for their family by planting crops. Animals
are dying because of the poor land conditions and
all this had left everyone penniless, some even
moved out of the village to seek shelter somewhere
else since they saw how we have been failing them
as their rulers

Anesu: That will all change because I'm here now

Musa: I hope it does

He smiles and so does Anesu, the driver stops at the

gate where the royal seer was standing. He smiles
widely as the back door opens, she steps out of the
car and thunder rumbles in the hidden corners of
the sky.
Msawenkosi steps out after his daughter, Anesu
looks at the huge palace before her eyes and she
looks at the royal seer.

Chumuka: Nkosazane yamanzi, Zwide, Nxumalo,

Mkhatshwa, Nkabanhle, Wena wasegudunkomo,
Hlubi

He shouts the Zwide clan names and there was a

huge roar of thunder, Anesu was overwhelmed with
mixed emotions and she wanted to cry but held
back her tears.

Chumuka: Welcome home lost princess but I come

bearing bad news

Musa: What bad news?

Chumuka: She can't sat foot inside the yard because
she is still not cleansed, which explains why it's not
raining but the dark grey clouds do explain that
something has to happen...

Anesu's jaw drops.

Musa: But the Dube will bring the animal to cleanse

her tomorrow

Chumuka: She still has dark energy around her and

the ancestors changed their mind, They want the
man responsible for leaving a dark dot on their pure
angle to be present along with his mother and
father, They need to pay an amount for his reckless
act of even thinking of ukusoma with their princess,
he also needs to cleanse her with two goats

Musa sighs.
Musa: Why are you notifying me about this now?

Chumuka: Like I said the ancestors changed their

mind

Musa: So where will my daughter sleep?

Chumuka: I will take care of that

Musa: I don't like this at all

Chumuka: You have no choice but you have to trust

me with her, she's in safe hands

Musa: Fine
He quickly said before he thought of changing his
mind visits.

Chumuka: Thank you my King, you can enter the

palace and leave the princess here with me

Musa: I don't like this at all

He mumbles as he turns to face his daughter, he

placed his hands on her shoulder.

Musa: I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting this to happen

but I can assure you that you are in safe hands with
Chumuka

Anesu: I know father and don't worry about me, I

will be fine
Musa pulls her into a hug and kissed her on the
forehead, he pulls out from the hug and Anesu
could feel someone eyes on her as she pulled out
from the hug.

She looks up inside the palace and at the balcony

there stood Bonisiwe in her velvet dress, she had a
coffee mug in her hands and guilt written all over
her face. Anesu's facial expression changes, the
smile that was on her face because of the embrace
she just recieved from her father disappeared. She
had her eyes brows furrowed and he eyes focused
deadly on Bonisiwe, Bonisiwe did not take her eyes
of her either and as she stood on the balcony
looking down at her.

A long line of lighting flashes in the sky right behind

Anesu causing the sky to glow as if it were a camera
taking a picture, Msawenkosi followed were Anesu
was looking at only to see his wife.
Bonisiwe walks back inside the house and Anesu
still stared at the spot she was standing on.

Musa: Don't worry about her she won't bother you

Anesu: She the last thing I should worry about

Musa: I will see you tomorrow

Anesu nods and Musa got inside the car which took
his hands the palace yard, Chumuka looks at Anesu.

Chumuka: You shouldn't be angry if you about to do

something like this, you are a special human being
and anger should be the last thing you should be
focusing on triggering

Anesu frowns.
Anesu: I will try to control myself

She inhales and exhales.

Chumuka: Follow me

He starts walking.

Anesu: Where are we going?

Chumuka: Stop with the questions and start moving

Anesu's listens and follows Chumuka, he walked to

this place far from the palace which was filled with
a lot of trees and bushes. They walked in deeper
into the place and Chumuka stops in front of the
entrance of a cave which was dark inside.
Anesu: What is this place?

Chumuka: This is a legendary cave where your

ancestors would visit to cleanse themselves, find
healing and connect with their ancestors. This is
were your grandmother used to visit, she loved this
place and it was dear to you. This cave was filled
with the most pure water and the wonders the
water could perform was beyond explaination,
when your grandmother died the water
disappeared and from my ancestors I was told that
only one person will be able to bring back the water
in this cave and that person is you

Anesu: How will I be able to all that?

Chumuka: You will have to spend the night in this

cave, pray, ask for forgiveness from your ancestors
for swearing at them and losing hope in their
powers. You will light a white candle and you will
pray, after praying tomorrow when the Dubes
arrive with the animals to cleanse you and the
money used to pay for their son's reckless actions
you will be cleansed in here then spend another
night on this cave and the following morning you
will wake up to see the water. When you set foot
inside the Zwide yards, your powers shall be
revealed to all and the twenty years curse of no
water shall end. You will heal, you will restore the
greatness of the Zwide's, challenges you shall face
because there's no path to success that doesn't
have thorns.

Anesu: I hear you

Chumuka: You are the future of this palace, you and

your destined soul shall make these walls high
again. You shall rule both nations and become the
greatest of all times
Anesu: But Nqoba and I broke up

Chumuka: I won't tell you everything my dear

because what's the fun in that? I will send someone
to bring you something to keep you warm and I will
also send you something to eat. You are safe in here
and you should not worry about anything, your
ancestors will protect you

Anesu: Thank you

Chumuka left the cave leaving Amesu there, the

cave was really dark and she could not see the
beautify of this cave. Chumuka indeed the royal
helpers to bring Anesu's something warm and
something to eat, They brought her some warm
water to bathe. She finished up with everything and
she took the white candle that was given to her.
Before she lit the candle she went through her
purse, she took out the blue bracelet that was given
to her by the Dube royal seer. She wore it and we
was on her knees, she took out a match stick and
tries lighting the candle but it doesn't light.

She tried again but luck.

Anesu: Anesu forgive, let go of all the grudges and

do this with a clean heart so it can be a success

She exhales and she lights the candle, to her luck it

lit. She starts praying to her ancestors and asked for
forgiveness, she also promised to take care of the
homeland and the people. She also asked for their
guidance and that they don't forsake her, she asked
that everything that will be done tomorrow to be a
complete sucess and once she was done.
She opens her eyes, the moon was shining on the
meduim sized hole at the top of the cave. The
whole cave lights up, it was white in color and it's
like the rocks had starts in them. Her eyes light up
and she smiles widely, she covers her mouth with
her hands and removed them.

She gathers her hands together and she thanks her

ancestors, she slept.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 73
NARRATIVE.

The whole night a loud concert played in her head.

She could not even get a small wink of sleep as the
concert went on with no intensions of stopping. She
sat at the edge of what suppose to be a dam with
her legs hanging inside the whole, her eyes looking
up at the still grey dark clouds. The sky has been like
this ever since she arrived, the clouds all gathered
together with the liquid particles impatiently
waiting for the orders from the watergoddes to
start crying after twenty years of being unable to
shed a single tear.

She closed her eyes with her fingertips tracing the

blue bracelets around her wrist, she felt a great
energy emerging around her as she had her eyes for
the longest time. She felt a presence of not one but
numerous people which we should regard ad spirits
ad they aren't with us physically but spiritually.

It's as if she way connecting with a spirit that her

body and soul has been longing to connect with,
she was disturbed by the entrance of Chumuka who
cleared his throat.
Chumuka: Princess...

He stood at the opening of the cave with his hands

joined together, he was dressed in a traditional
attire.

Anesu: I did not see you there

Chumuka: I know you were not here

Anesu stood up from where she was seated and she

turns to look at Chumuka, she was curious into
knowing what he meant.

Chumuka: I can feel their presence but mostly your

grandmother's

Anesu raised one eybrow up.

Chumuka: Your ancestors really love you and they
can't wait to reunite with you

Anesu: I can't wait to start my life afresh

Chumuka: The Dubes have arrived and we should

begin with the ceremony but first you should bathe

Anesu: Okay...

Medians walk in with warm water and some clothes

she should wear, Chumuka left with the royal
helpers and Anesu freshens up. She wore a dress
and she walks out the cave, already Ntongolozi and
Lungani were waiting outside with their beloved son
who was accompanied by his brother Zinathi.

Anesu: Sanbona (greetings)

She says with her head bowed down and they greet
back, she uncomfortably felt his eyes burn through
his skin like a laser. She raised her head slightly and
she immiedtly locks eyes with him, the royal seer
noticed and he clears his throat resulting to the
both of them to look away.

Chumuka: Boys don't just stand there bring the

animal so we can begin with the ceremony

Zinathi gave the royal seer a side eye which Nqoba

noticed, he grabs Zinathi by the arm and they went
to fetch the two goats.

Chumuka: This ceremony has to be done here

because of our circumstances and that this whole
situation was unexpected, we all know that as we
are gathered here to cleanse this pure soul from the
bad luck that is surrounding her. To those who
might not be aware of what happened, the princess
here lost a Dube heir which she wasn't aware that
she was carrying and the Zwide ancestors demand
that your son should pay a prince for his reckless act
and cleanse our special one from all the darkness.
The child shall be given a name so in the future the
parents don't face any problems because of their
failure to recognise their child. He or she shall bring
light into your paths and will be a good angle to
both of y'all...

The men nod their head showing sense of

understanding as to what the seer was saying.

The ceremony began, the two animals were

brought in and they were slaughtered. Anesu was
cleansed in a respectful manner inside the cave and
once the ceremony was over. The Dube were given
a place to stay inside the palace since they will be
leaving in the evening, Anesu was told about
tomorrow's process where she would be introduced
to her ancestors.

Anesu was seated outside the cave when she heard

heavy footsteps approaching, she raised her head
to see through the trees as to who was coming but
anticipating started to kick in when she could not
see any physical form of a human. She got up from
the floor and she follows the sound of the footsteps
piercing through the bushes, the more she walked
the far she got from the palace. The foot steps stop
when she approached a bare field and on that field
stood a woman, you could tell that this was a
female because of the floral dress she wore. The
woman had her back facing Anesu, she had white
hair and Anesu stood there with her heart racing.

She froze in the same position not knowing if she

should turn around or stay to see who was the
person.
"There's no need for you to be afraid," Says the
female voice with her back still facing Anesu.

Anesu: Who told you I was afraid?

"I can hear your heart beating from a distance and I

can tell that you are afraid of me," the woman
chuckles and Anesu scans the female figure in front
of her.

Anesu: Is there a reason for me to be afraid?

"There is need for you to be afraid..." The woman

paused and slowly turns around, Anesu's heart skips
a beat when she saw the face of the woman. It
wasn't just a woman but it was an old woman, with
wrinkled skin but she still looked beautiful with a
white patch on her left eye, both her eyes ocean
blue and she smiles revealing her white teeth.
"Sawbona Ndoniyamanzi."

Anesu: Gran-Grandmother?

She stutters not believing the words which came

out of her own mouth.

"Now you see that there's nothing you should be

afraid of," she smiles opening her arms

"Come give grandma a hung."

Anesu did not wait for her grandmother to repeat

herself, she ran to her grandmother as if she did not
have a sense of doubt few seconds ago. She gave
her grandmother a tight hug which the old lady
gladly returned even kissing her on the forehead,
after maybe a second realisation struck her
resulting to her quickly pulling out from the hug.

She looks at the old woman who looks at her

curious yet with a smile on her face.

"What is wrong?" The old lady asked

Anesu: How are you here? Aren't you dead?

"Aren't you a special being?"

Anesu: I am but...

She breaths out.

Anesu: I just want to be sure that this is real and not

a hallucination
"Hush now, you are special and this is just the
beginning. I had to cross the gate in order for me to
come give you a short visit..."

Anesu: Why did you cross the gate to come see me?
Am I in danger?

"No I wanted to see the woman who will be

carrying the Zwide legacy, I wanted to see the
woman whom I have been protecting all along. I
wanted to see the woman who is said go look like
me and here i am...I wanted to give you my blessing
while looking into your eyes and seeing that you
deserve this gift or not."

Anesu sighs.
Anesu: Honestly with everything that is happening
sometimes I think that I don't deserve this gift,
sometimes I feel like I don't know...I'm not special?

That came out more as a question rather then a

statement.

"From the minute you started to develop inside

your mother's womb we gave you the gift, we saw
how worthy you are to carry this gift."

Anesu: Okay but grandmother having this gift is not

easy, what advice would you give me?

"Firstly you must be determined, push hard in order

to reach your goal which is to be on the good side of
the people under the ruling of the Zwide and even
when challenges come, don't be deterred by
difficulties. Be consistent in everything you do, work
hard and faith because we will always stand by your
side in everything you do."

Anesu: Thank you I will do just that

"I believe in you and trust that this whole family

legacy is in great hands..."

Anesu was disturbed by someone tapping her by

the shoulder, she turns around only to find one of
the maidens behind her.

Maiden: Ma'am the royal seer is requesting to see

you and who were you following because I have
been running after you almost got lost in the
wounds looking for you

Anesu: I was following my...

She turns back to her grandmother only for her to
see no one, her jaw drops and she frowns after
wards.

Anesu: Nevermind, shall we?

The maiden nods and Anesu walks back to the cave

with the Maiden, she found Chumuka indeed
waiting for her. They took a walk and started talking
around the village, people would stop and ask
questions and Anesu would respond.

As they walked a car from a distance drove to their

direction is great speed, They did not move out the
way because they thoughts that maybe the cat
would slow down. Chumuka quickly moved out the
way and when he looks at Anesu she was standing
on the way, he shouts Anesu's name and she turns
her head to look at him then turned to face the car
that came face to face with her when it breaks a
foot in front of her.

Anesu's heart starts racing as she stood there with

her eyes closed, the drivers door opens and a men
steps out of the car. Dressed in a navy tuxedo and
the minute he set his one foot on the ground
everyone around paid attention to him, his aura
points on a hundred and seventeen.

He looked frustrated as he took of his shades and

starts shouting.

"Are you blind or stupid? Couldn't you see that you

were walking in the wrong side of the road?"

Anesu opens her eyes and a figure looking like his

father but in his youngest form stood in front of
her.
Anesu: I'm sorry but I don't see how any of this was
my fault

"You were walking on the wrong side of the road

and..."

Anesu: Yes i was but you were driving at a high

speed and if you went to a driving school you would
know that you should not drive on a high speed
when driving on a place that contains a lot of
people because you might cause an accident and
yet again I'm not blind nor stupid

"Who do you think you are to talk back at me? Do

you know who I am?"

Anesu: I'm nobody but again let you be warned that

a nobody can be a somebody you weren't expecting
them to be, I don't know who you are and I'm not
interested in knowing who you are

The males jaw drops and he looks at the side of the

road only to see Chumuka.

"Mkhulu?"

Chumuka shook his head and he signals Anesu that

they should continue walking, They walk back to the
cave and Chumuka left Anesu there heading back to
the palace.

SQALOSETHU ZWIDE.

I collect myself as I watch the people at the village

shaking their head looking at me with disapproval,
why are they looking at me as if I was at fault that
woman who talked back at me in a manner I wasn't
expecting is the one at fault here. Though I'm used
to making people feel small and getting the upper
hand in everything. I should have ran her over with
my expensive car but what is more concerning is
how Chumuka knew the woman.

I got inside my car and drove home, I can't believe

father made me drop every important thing I was
doing to attend this meeting of is his. I drove inside
the yard and park my car on the parking area, I step
out of the car and to my greatest suprise my
mother walks out of the house and approaches me
with open arms.

My heart melts as we both share a hug, does this

woman know how much I missed her? I don't think
she's aware of the gap I have been feeling without
her by my side.
Sqalo: Hey Queen

Bonisiwe: Hey my boy, you have grown look at

yourself

She smiles and I frown.

Sqalo: You are being dramatic though how are You?

Bonisiwe: I'm trying to be okay a lot is happening to

me but I will be fine no need to worry

She knows that I will worry, she knows that I want

nothing bad to happen to her. She knows that I can
go to any extent to avenge for her if someone has
caused her pain.

Sqalo: Mother?
Bonisiwe: Yes darling

Sqalo: Has father done something to hurt You?

Bonisiwe: He did nothing *laughs a little* don't

worry

Sqalo: Does it have something to do with his sudden

demand of us to return home?

Her facial expression quickly changes.

Bonisiwe: Did he tell you why you had to come

back?

Sqalo: No he did not tell me but he told me that it

was urgent
Bonisiwe: listen Sqalo...

She held my hand and looks at me, okay I don't like

where this is going.

Bonisiwe: You know that I love all my children

equally and that I would never do anything to hurt
or bring this family down?

Sqalo: Yes of course mma I am aware...

I laugh a little.

Why is she talking like This? Is there something

she's hiding from me?

Sqalo: Is there something I'm missing here?

Bonisiwe: Your father will...

She stops talking when we both heard my father

clearing his throat, my mother quickly let's go of my
hand and turns to face my father. He stood there
with both his hands inside his pocket, dressed in a
black pair of long pants and a white golf shirt.

Musa: Son you have arrived?

Sqalo: Yes father I have arrived as you can see

Musa: What makes the two of You to stand outside

for the longest of time? What are you two
discussing because I saw when Sqalo drove in, what
us your mother filling your mind with again?
Bonisiwe: Msawenkosi he is my son and I was just
giving his a warm welcome

Musa: You would never know what to except from a

woman like you who...

He paused and looks at me.

Musa: Come inside son we have a lot we need to

discuss and wena go think about the decisions you
have made

He turns around and walks back inside the place, I

look at my mother with one eyebrow elevated up as
a sign of confusing and I follow my father as we
both walked to his study room upstairs.
He pours himself a glass of whiskey and I move to
the table to pour myself a drink when I received the
most deadly stare from my father.

Musa: Don't tell me you are about to drink my

alcohol without my permission, didn't you have
enough back over seas with your whores

I chuckle and move back rubbing the tip of my nose,

I took a seat rubbing both my hands together.

Sqalo: I'm sorry father

Musa: I did not mean to lower your spirit or mood it

was just a question and I was also just trying to tip
you off that I know about every useless, disgusting
things you do overseas

I sigh.
Why can't this old man stay out of my business?

Sqalo: Father did you call me to tell me how you

hibeslty feel about me or What?

Musa: Don't push me

Silence.

He sighs and he sat up straight after gulping down

his glass of whiskey, he looks at me dead in the eyes
and I knew that he was serious.

Musa: We have something important we need to

discuss but firstly where are your sibling?

Sqalo: They are on their way

Musa: Good I won't get into details but I will give
your mother the platform once we are all under the
same roof so she can explain herself...

Sqalo: Explain herself regarding what?

Musa: There has been a huge secrete she has been

keeping from me and this family which resulted to
our family falling apart but I'm not there...

Sqalo: I'm confused

Musa: You will get enough clarity in all this

tomorrow after the ceremony

Sqalo: What ceremony?

Musa: We will be welcoming your long lost eldest
sister

Sqalo: Eldest sister? I have a sister? You are kidding

right?

Can the earth swallow me? Did this man over here
just tell me that I have a sister I did not know off?
How is that even possible?

Musa: Yes you have a eldest sister and you will see
her tomorrow

Sqalo: How do I...how...who...

I paused.

Sqalo: How do I have a sister that I don't know of?

You are joking right father?
He shook his head.

Sqalo: How is this possible father I'm the eldest

though

Musa: unfortunately you are not the first born

I stood up from my seat and went to pour myself a

glass of whiskey, is he trying to tell me that the
inheritance I was suppose to get once he steps
down as king will be passed down to someone who
just came into the picture all of assuden?

You have got to be kidding me.

I drank a glass full and look at my father.

Sqalo: Are you sure she is your daughter?

Musa: I am more then sure

Sqalo: This can't be

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 74
NARRATIVE.

The day everyone thought would never come- came

knocking like an unexpected visitor, the sun rays
kissed Anesu on the face and she slowly opened her
eyes only for the sun to blind her vision. She quickly
used her hand to cover her eyes as she shut them
close, she opens her eyes one more time and yawns
widely.
She got up from the grass matt and when she
looked at the dam it was filled with ocean blue
water, the water sparkled as the sun rays struck on
the water surface and the sight was magical. Anesu
took a swim and when she got out of the water she
felt like a new person, as she stood there with a
cloth wrapped around her body Chumuka walks in
with the maidens who will help Anesu get dressed
for the ceremony.

He stood there dressed in his traditional attire and

he looks at Anesu with a wife smile on his face.

Chumuka: Princess it's time

Anesu swallows nothingness.

...
Words circulated around the village about the
return of the lost princess, some knew the whole
story and some didn't. Traditional healers and
spiritual people dreamt about this day hundred
times but never knew when it would come, Children
ran around from door to door wanting to pass the
words to their parent about the invitation they have
received from the Zwide palace.

"Mama come let's go see the princes," the child

shouts with excitement to his mother who sat
outside the doorstep sorting the samp.

"Ayy you are making noise, the princess is not real

they are just trying to give us false hope. It won't
rain did you see the sky? My child don't expect
something huge from something that will
disappoint you."
The child frowns.

"But mama it is said that..."

The mother chased the child away annoyed and the

child quickly ran to the direction of the palace,
everyone at the village those who believed took
their time and dropped everything they were busy
with in order to meet the princess and maybe see
her. The outside gate was packed with more then
ten thousand people who stood there with the sun
busing them but despite that They stood there
joyfully singing and waiting to see their water
goddess.

The palace gate opens and guards started coming

out, they opened a path were the princess would
walk on and surprisingly the people obeyed wore a
blue corset which had crystals of different shades of
blue, she wore a silver necklace around her neck
and underneath she wore a leg out tight skirt. Her
afro lose and she had a crown on her hair, she
looked natural without any make-up on. She had
silver earrings on and she wore the blue bracelet
she was given by the Dube royal seer and a few
bracelets made out of silver tiny diamonds and she
had no shoes on.

...

ANESU MTSHALI.

Breathing was a biggest tast I had to do, I don't

know why suddenly I'm unable to breath. I know
that I'm holding my breath but the concerning part
is I don't want to exhale, I can't believe that all
these people gathered here came to see me. For a
second I felt special then the negative thoughts
creeped in like a cockroach creeping into the most
tinyest hole, the negative thought also found a
smallI hole to creep into. I felt tears building up in
my eyes and I quickly remembered that I have to
hold myself, I took a deep breath with my eyes
closed. I open my eyes and I started walking on the
cleared path, elder cheering and children looking at
me as if I were something rare that their eyes have
seen.

I walked and I felt some constantly touching the

cape which was attached to my corset, I could feel
their energy and their energy was felt heavy on me.
This felt like the long walk to freedom, I was never
there but after experiencing all this walking I can
relate what it felt like on that long walk. I'm just
kidding, I know I am exaggerating but I don't blame
myself for being extra...have you seen these
people? Can you hear their cheering? This feel
legendary but at the same time it feels spiritually
overwhelming.
I breath out in releaf as I saw the gate of the palace,
the last step felt like I have reached the finish line as
I stood in front of the gate. I look at the guard and
they both gave me a bow before opening the huge
gate, when the gate opened my father stood there
with his family.

When his eyes land on me he gave me the most

beautiful Colgate smile I have ever seen, I could see
that he was a proud father and I gladly returned the
smile but it erased from my face as if the person I
looked was an eraser, my so called mother erased
the smile I had on my face and I could not read her
facial expression but it was blank, no feelings or
guilt just blank. I look to her left and there stood my
brother Sqalosethu who almost ran me over by the
car, I look at him straight in the eyes and his jaw
mopped the ground and I smirk. On his side stood
Ayavuya who looked at me, I could tell that he was
flabbergasted. I would be if I were him. But still I
understand what he is going through, next to him
my youngest sister Zamazwide. Chumuka told me
all about them and speaking of that very gifted soul,
he stood in front of me with a wide smile on his
face.

Chumuka: Welcome home princess

I smile and step inside the yard it i felt the hair on

my arms lift up, They stood still as if I was electrified
or near a magnet. Yes my spiritual inner self is being
drawn to connect with my ancestors and as I step
closer deep into the yard, i felt a powerful aura
surrounding me and I walk to my father.

I bow in front of him.

Anesu: Your royal Highness

Musa: My princess, you may rise

I rose and looked at him, he pulls me into a side
hug. I move to my mother and I step a little bit
closet in front of her, I wanted to look at her in the
eyes and there is no way I'm going to bow down for
her but get again I was told to not hold grudges
but...Okay that's enough adding into the drama.

I took one look at my father and he nods.

Anesu: Your Highness

I bow in front of her and she doesn't utter a single

word, works for me. I move to Sqalosethu, he still
had his jaw moping the floor and God this was
satisfying.

Anesu: We meet again, your majesty

Sqalo: You are my sister?

Anesu: I'm not sure if that is a statement of a

question, a question would be stupid coming from a
no it all like you but to clear things up yes I am you
sister, your eldest sister

I noticed him clenching his jaw as I emphasised the

part whereby I'm his eldest sister and the
interesting part is that he has no idea how I'm
enjoying this.

Anesu: Told you that the person you consider a

nobody might turn out to be something way more
then what you expected, how does it feel?

He was about to open his mouth.

Anesu: Don't bother asking I don't really care
anymore *smiles* it's a pleasure to meet you once
again brother

I did a little bow and stood in front of Ayavuya, he

was dressed in a dark blue suit and he looked pretty
handsome. He looked more manly unlike the
Ayavuya I met back at the city, with nails on and
make up. He looked more of a snack in his
masculine form, he looked at me as if he was still
trying to connect one and two.

Anesu: I'm sorry I did not tell you

That's the first thing that came out of my mouth.

Aya: You knew all this time that we were related?

Anesu: Can we discuss this some other time?

Aya: Of course, welcome to the family Big sis

Anesu: Thank you

I smile and this little one next to Ayavuya had some

attitude, she looked at me from head to toe as if
she knew something i did not know or maybe they
already fed her with a bad view about me.

Anesu: You must me Zamazwide

Zama: Yeah

Okay that was expected but What little miss? Why

the attitude?

Anesu: Okay...
I'm not about to attend to this, she had been told
something and she's acting in the information she
was given.

Chumuka walks with me to the huge randovel with

father following behind me, he starts lighting
impepho and chunting the Zwide clan names.

Chumuka: BoZwide, Mkhatshwa, Nxumalo I'm

kneeled before you to introduce the daughter that
was snatched from you at her birth, a daughter who
was snatched her inheritance and the daughter who
is said to bring piece in these lands and rule
eternally. I'm pleading with you to welcome her
with warm arms and take care of her in these
lands, protect her from all the harm that might fall
on her. Guide her and give her strength, I'm asking
that you don't forsake her and with this animal
bracelet it will symbolise her being part of this
family...
A goat was slaughtered and they used the animal
soon to create a wristband for me, the goat was
white in color and even though the wristband smelt
really bad it was bearable. Once all traditional stuff
was done and I was introduced to my ancestors, I
walk out of the randovel.

Musa: You need to address your people

I slowly nod and I went up the balcony so everyone

could see me, I stood there and used a mic to
speak.

Anesu: Greets everyone, My name is Anesu

Zesuliwe Zwide your lost princess. I wasn't exactly
lost but that doesn't matter, I have heard that you
guys have been living under a curse of not having
water. I'm really happy that I will be able to help
you break this curse, I promise to be nothing but
the best and hear each and everyone of you. We
will rebuild what has been broken and we will build
a strong bond between our people, while I'm alive
no one living under the ruling of my family will
suffer. We will bring life back to our soils and grow
plants once again, we will trade with traders from
different worlds and we will be wealthy once again.
I really won't overwhelm you with words but from
this day onwards you shall have rain, you shall not
suffer and you shall live with no fear of being poor
with that being said...

I placed the mic down and I closed my eyes, I

chalanted my inner spirit. With my eyes closed I was
overwhelmed with so much power and my whole
body went from being warm to being cold. I
shivered and I opened my eyes, I look up the sky as
the grey clouds put of nowhere gathered in the sky
and I was amazed as to how quick the clouds
gathered in the sky. The atmosphere thickens and I
inhale, I slowly exhale and the rain starts pouring.
The way it poured some people immidielty went to
seek shelter and some just stood there embracing
the rain pouring on their skin, when was the last
time they experience something like this? 20 years
long, that seems like a life time.

I turned around and found the Queen staring at me,

she looked at me from had to toe as if she could not
believe how a girl like me was capable of doing
something like this.

Anesu: Excuse me

I pass her and went to the kitchen, I poured myself

a glass of water and my hand was shaking. I drank
the water from the glass with my hand shaking and I
don't know why I was feeling like this all of assuden.

Sqalo: What witch craft is this you are performing in

broad daylight
I lowered the glass and disposed the left over water,
I looked at the glass for a few seconds and I turned
to face the male figure that stood behind me with
an aura of stupidity.

Anesu: I don't understand

Sqalo: How were you able to make it rain?

Anesu: I don't know it just happened

Sqalo: Don't lie you controlled it

Anesu: Why do you care?

Sqalo: I care because you are a walking dark cloud
and energy, what you just did is total witchcraft. No
living being is able to do such...

I chuckled not at his word but at his stupidity.

Anesu: You are insulting me right now I suggest that

you keep whatever personal opinions you have
about me to yourself because it won't be nice if I
start acting of the anger that those words shall
create.

Sqalo: Are you threatening me?

Anesu: if you feel threatened that's fine but I was

just saying

Sqalo: What do you really want? I know you are not

my sister, how come you look like that and...
Anesu: Okay I have given you enough of my time
your mother will give you the answers

I walked past him.

I have never met someone who is stupid and can't

use his brains, would I have entered the randovel
and wore a animal wristband if I hadn't been his
sister? Sometimes you just have to read through
everything.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 75
ANESU MTSHALI.
After spending almost the whole day around people
I was fed up, not gonna bad way trust me. I just
discovered today that I can't stand being around a
large number of people as their different energies
feel heavy on my shoulder. Eversince the whole
transformation I feel like I can sense people energy,
it ad if I can read them through the energy I feel.

I honestly enjoyed being around my people and by

the way things went it's safe to say they also
enjoyed being around me, I excused myself as I was
seated with my father outside the small tenth
having a small chat as he introduced me to the
council and the people I should go to if I need
assistance in anything.

I went inside the palace and I still can't comprehend

well as to how huge this palace is, which makes me
realise that I almost made my father lose all of this
because of my heart that doesn't want to let go.
Ad I walk to my room, I heard a male voice calling
behind me. When I turned it was Ayavuya, he gave
me a grin as he walked closer to me.

Aya: Are you deaf or are you just trying to avoid

me?

Anesu: None of the above, I was in a hurry and I

don't know where my thoughts were drowning hey

I laughed a little and he just smiled.

Aya: I have been wanting to talk to you, I did not

want to disturb you as it was your ceremony so I
feel like this is the right time to ask questions

I sighed.

Anesu: You really aren't going to let this go?

Aya: Not a chance

Anesu: Let's go to my room then, I don't think I will

be able to answer all your questions so I won't
make any promises

Aya nods and we walk to my room, he closed the

door behind us and I walk to my bed. I sat down and
removed the heels I was wearing, I love looking
classy and beautiful but if this is the torture I will
have to go through. That's a huge no from me.

Anesu: Shoot, I'm listening

Aya: Did you know that I was your brother when we

met?
Anesu: I won't say I knew complete but I was
suspicious till I got to know the truth

Aya: Did you not think that maybe I deserved to

know that you were my sister?

Anesu: It was not my place to reveal all that plus I

did not want to be the cause of conflict between
you and your parents

Aya: But yet again I deserved to know

Anesu: I know you deserved to know but i was also

right to hide it from you, Imagine if I had told you
do you think you would have confronted your
parents with a kind heart or you would have bit off
their head?

He sighs and he nods as if he got the point.

Aya: You are right

Of course I'm right, as much as I wanted him to

know that we were siblings I did not want to be the
war starter.

Anesu: Are we good now then?

He gave me that smile of his and he pulls me in for a

hug, I assume that is his way of telling me that we
are good.

He pulls out from the hug and he screams in a

girlish manner.

Aya: I can't believe you are my sister, Girl we going

to turn this whole palace upside down
He looks around as if the walls had ears or
something which made me laugh.

Anesu: You are funny but wait, I have a concerning

question I need to ask before I allow my silly mouth
to disclose the truth

Aya: Do my parents know that I'm into guys?

Anesu: You just read my mind

Aya: Of course they don't know if they knew I would

be dead, I would be sitting here dressed in these
clothes if they new

Anesu: But Father looks like he is very accepting and

welcoming

Aya: Welcoming? My father?

He laughs a little as if I had said a joke but did I? My
father does look like a welcoming and accepting
father.

Aya: He might be like that toward you but that does

not mean he is like that to the rest if us, he would
kill me if he ever found out

Anesu: Then trust me your secrete is safe with me

We did a pinky promise and we spent some more

time chatting till he had to leave in order to change,
I think he looks better in his male form not that I'm
judging him or anything but yet again my opinion
does not matter as it is his life and not mine, his
choices not mine so Anesu just shut your thoughts.
I decided to go take a shower to freshen up, the
way I was exhausted I felt like a shower would not
do what I want so I took a warm bath. I soaked
myself inside the warm water and sat there with my
head leaning on the inside of the tub.

I felt all my problems go away and spinner when I

felt the water getting cold, I decided to come out. I
tried my body and drained the water out the bath
tub, I wrap a towel around my body and walk to the
main room.

I tried my body and got dressed, I wore my long

sleeved silk black sleep wear. I stood in front of the
mirror and stared at the reflection of this beautiful
creature I once despised with my whole heart.

I smiled and walk out the room, if it weren't for my

stomach which doesn't want to stop grumbling I
would have went undercover and slept but yet
again I can't sleep because I still have a meeting
with the rest of the family.

I walk down the stairs and I found the madains

preparing the table, I went to the kitchen to pour
myself a glass of water and I stood there staring at
the food with my mouth watering.

Sqalo: What brings you here? Are you here to

poison us?

He says with a chuckle, what does this brother of

mine want from me? What have I done to him that
makes him act like this?

I turned around and faced him.

Anesu: Interesting fact my empty stomach brought

me here
He chuckles.

Sqalo: What do you really want from my family?

Huh? What really brings you Here? How much do
you want? I can wire you the money and...

Anesu: You should find something that will

entertain you because I? I am not in the mood to
entertain someone like you

I roll my eyes and placed the glass aside once I have

cleansed it, something about Sqalo makes me inside
turn and my hair stand still as if I had seen a ghost.

Sqalo: Listen here you will pack your bags and you
will leave this place...
He steps closer and he grabs me by the arm, he
looks at me straight in the eyes and u could read
the anger in his eyes.

Anesu: I'm not going anywhere this is my home as

much as it's your, I have right to be here the same
way you have right to be here...

Bonisiwe: Who said you have rights to be Here?

I shift my eyes and there stood the devil with horns,

she looked at me as she had her arms folded.

Anesu: I don't need to be told by you that I have

rights or not...

Bonisiwe: A simple ceremony and you are already

riding on a high horse?
She claps her hands twice in disbelief.

Bonisiwe: Trust me you will fall down that horse

very soon, this is not your place you won't even
survive a month here

Why does this woman hate me so much?

Anesu: Was throwing me away not enough?

I felt my heart getting heavy.

Bonisiwe: I wish I had strangled the life out of you

to save me the problem I'm facing right now

A sharp pain pieced through my heart as if I had

been stabbed with a dagger, my whole body tensed
up and my cheeks started inching. The smile on her
face did not do me any justice, why is she enjoying
all of this? Why can't she atleast pretend? Did she
have to say that?

Bonisiwe: You are not wanted here so I suggest that

you do as my son says, take your things and we will
pay you enough money to stay out of our lives

Ayavuya walks into the kitchen and I saw that he

wanted to turn his back when he saw the two
predators who were ready to devour the pray
before their eyes. I was saved by my father who
entered the kitchen and the energy he carried
devoured each and everyone in the room.

Musa: What is going on here?

He looks at each and everyone of us.

Bonisiwe: Nothing I was just congratulating our
daughter on today's ceremony which was a great
success

She steps closer to me and she gave me a side hug, I

wanted to push her so bad and smash her face on
the wall but I'm not a bad person. I won't let her
turn me into a bad person, my mother raised me
well and she would hate if I allowed someone to
change who I am.

She whispered into my ear.

Bonisiwe: If you won't leave I will make you leave

myself

She was about to give me a kiss but I moved my

face away from meeting her lips, for sure if I had
agreed my whole face would have rot.
I look at her head in the eyes and she walks to the
dinner table, my father looks at me concerned.

Musa: Are you Okay?

Anesu: Yes I'm fine I just want to get over and done
with this meeting and sleep

I walk past him and went to take a seat next to

Ayavuya, we all sat around the table and we prayed
then we ate. The room was silent but nor
completely silent, you could hear to sound of
utensils which was a sigh that everyone was eating.

Anesu just sat there playing with her food.

Bonisiwe: You should eat and stop playing without

food
Anesu: Don't tell me what to do

Bonisiwe: You know the servants worked hard to

prepare the food and you are being disrespectful...

Anesu: Not that I asked you but okay...

I roll my eyes and sighed. Anesu this is not you,

don't let her change you.

Musa: Anesu don't talk like that to your mother

Anesu: That woman is not my mother!

I shout out loud with my fist both on the table and

my eyes staring deep into Bonisiwe's eyes, the
smirk she had on her face made me angrier.
Musa: Anesu!

He roars.

Anesu: WHAT?

I snapped turning my head to his direction.

Musa: Don't you ever, no matter how angry you are

do not raise your voice when talking to me

Anesu: I'm sorry father but I can't just sit here and
listen to this woman, she can pretend but I can't
which is very frustrating so I would rather go to
sleep then sit here and listen to her blabber
nonsense
I stood up immiedeitly and my father bangs the
table, it seems like this is a habit of our in this
family. We sure do like banging the table, is it the
fact that we are able to take out our frustration on
it or it's the sound.

Musa: Sit down Anesu

Anesu: But Father

Musa: You won't give me any buts

I look at my father then back at Bonisiwe, I sat down

and kept rocking back and forth. Ayavuya held my
hand under the table .

Musa: Thank you now let's enjoy thus meal so we

can commence with the meeting
I forced myself to eat, I did not feel like eating but
did I have a choice? Be my guest and Guess if I had
one. Once we were done the table was cleared by
the servants and moved from the dinning room to
the living room.

Musa: Okay I would like to thank each and everyone

of you for the good behaviour, as you might have
seen and actually read through the lines from
today's ceremony. Anesu is not adopted but she is
our daughter, I know that all you know is that you
are the only children we have but Anesu was the
first to be born...

Zama: So where was she all this time?

Anesu: Ask your mother that

Zama: Mother?
Bonisiwe: I won't answer to no kids

Zamazwide frowns.

Musa: Bonisiwe you can't say such, the child wants

to know and since all of this is your doings you
should explain everything to the kids

Bonisiwe: I have nothing to explain, that is not my

daughter

Sqalo: Thank you mom, Get out

He points at me as he stood up approaching me.

Musa: Touch her Sqalosethu and I will give you a
hiding so bad you will hate me for the rest of your
life

Sqalo steps back and swallows.

Sqalo: Apologies baba

Musa: We both know you don't mean that

Sqalo looks down.

Musa: Bonisiwe start talking we don't have all day

Bonisiwe: I told you that I have nothing to say

Musa: Bonisiwe I don't have time for your nonsense

tell these kids how you are not the good parent you
preach to be, tell them how you lied to them for
their entire lives and almost ruined this whole
family. Tell them Bonisiwe because trust me we will
sit here for the rest of the night till you spit out the
truth

Bonisiwe: I am a good parent that won't change

because of this thing...

Musa: She's not...

She interrupts him.

Bonisiwe: How will I talk if you keep interrupting me

and defending her? You want me to tell the truth
then let me Msawenkosi

She shouts and my father sat back clenching his jaw.

Bonisiwe: Your father is telling the truth, Anesu is
your sister and she is...*swallows* my child

She said the last word ad if it was hard to say.

Musa: Good go on

Aya: How come we did not know about her? Where

was she all along?

Bonisiwe: You did not know about her all along

because i threw her away when she came out of my
womb, happy?

I chuckled and shook my head letting the tears fall

down my cheeks, I was so quick to wipe the tears
because I did not want to satisfy them. I could feel
Ayavuya's eyes on me and it was heard to not meet
his gaze so I positioned my eyes to the floor.
Zama: Mama why did you do that?

Bonisiwe: I don't have to explain myself, you are

just a kid

Anesu: No tell her...

Bonisiwe gave me a side eye.

Anesu: Don't look at me like that tell your daughter

how you told everyone in the room when you gave
birth that you don't want me, tell her that the first
word that came out of your mouth when you saw
me was calling me a thing. Tell her how you gave
me to another maiden and told her to get rid of me,
tell her how you lied to my father and told him that
his first born baby died. Tell your lovely children
who speak so highly of you that you lied to their
father and made his grieve for a child that wasn't
dead tell them...don't look at me like that don't you
dare, you are not fit to be a mother, God should
have made tour womb unable to carry a child
because the was you have an evil heart no one
could tell that you are a mother. You threw away
your own child because of the way she looked, I
would have understood maybe if you had not
thrown me away but made me live a life of you
hating me but throwing me away as if I was some
sort of animal? That's not it...

I shook my head wiping my tears and her jaw

dropped.

Bonisiwe: How do you know?

Anesu: How I know is not important but what's

important is that you are the worst out of the worst
mother's here on this earth
Musa: Anesu...

Anesu: No father let me talk, I can see that you are

failing to put her on the right place I will deal with
her. Do you perhaps wonder why we are inches
away from being broke?

Sqalo: We are going to be broke?

Anesu: You did not know?

I chuckle.

Anesu: Guess you not the only person that

woman...
I point at Bonisiwe.

Anesu: Has been lying too.

Bonisiwe: Okay that's enough, are you trying to

bring this family to the ground

Anesu: The only person in thus room whose aim is

to bring thus family down to the ground is YOU!

Sqalo: I won't let you talk to my mother in that

manner

Anesu: His defending the devil *mumbles and

chuckles* Okay my apologise but for your
information I am not going to leave thus place
whether you take me ad tour sister or not. I have
lived twenty years without you in my lives so having
you hating me won't make a difference but it will
bring me piece, I will stay here and work on bring
this kingdom right back on its feet. You can try
stopping me but if you want to rush with your life
then go ahead...

I stood up from my seat.

Anesu: Can I be excused father?

Musa: We are not done

Anesu: I am done I can't bear being in the same

room with this disgusting woman

I look at her from head to toe and my father nods, I

gave Ayavuya a faint smile and made my way
upstairs. I close the door behind me and locked it, I
sank down on the floor and I started crying. Life was
way better before the universe decided to reunite
me with my family, not that I don't appreciate the
unity but if it's going to come with such difficulty I
don't think I will be able to face it.

My phone vibrates on top of my bed, I rose

[Link] floor and slowly walked to the bed. I stare
at the screen and tears fall down in the flashing
screen which showed Nqoba's name.

I wipe my tears and answered the call before

placing it on my ear, I remained silent till he decided
to speak.

Nqoba: Zesu are you there?

Anesu: Nqoba I'm here, what do you want?

Silence.
Nqoba: You don't sound okay

Anesu: I have only said a few words and already you

think I'm not Okay? Nqoba what do you want?

Nqoba: What are they doing to you?

Anesu: That's none of your concern

Nqoba: Stop pushing me away, don't shut that door

Zesu. I know you and I can tell you are not okay by
the sound of your voice and the way you were
breathing. I know you and despite that you are far I
can still sense if you are not okay

Anesu: I'm fine Nqoba now way do you want?

He sighs.
Nqoba: Would it be okay if I told you that I want
you?

Anesu: I dropping the call

Nqoba: Are going to drop the call because you

don't want to talk to me or you are going to drop
the call because deep down you know that you feel
the same way

Anesu: Don't be stupid

Nqoba: You know I don't like being called stupid

Anesu: And you also know I don't like lies

Nqoba: Why would I lie? You know that I want you, I
need you back in my life because right now I'm a
whole mess without you. I miss you Anesu

Anesu: Okay thank you

He chuckles.

Nqoba: You know I just got back from work and I'm
seated in the living room going through our pictures
on my iPad

Anesu: Shouldn't you be with your baby mama?

Nqoba: I kicked her out

Anesu: Oh you did? For what reason?

Nqoba: Because I felt like I disrespecting my woman
for allowing her to stay under the same room with
me, I know I made a mistake but my mistake won't
stand in the way of me being there for my child

Anesu: Why are you telling me all this?

Nqoba: Because I'm not yet ready to lose you

Anesu: You should forget about me

Nqoba: I can't you are the love of my life and my

heart yearns for you, it only wants you nobody else

Anesu: Nqoba it's late and I need to sleep

Nqoba: I know it's late but can you stay on the

phone just for a few minutes
Anesu: I'm not going to ruin my sleeping plans
because if you

Nqoba: Baby?

He calls.

Anesu: Call me by name

Nqoba: Sthandwa sami

Anesu: Since you are playing games I'm dropping

the call

I hung up and placed the phone aside, it rang again

and it was him. I fought the urge of answering but
failed.
Anesu: Nqobuthando it's late and I don't have time
for your games

Nqoba: Okay I'm going to let you sleep but hear me

out

Anesu: What?

Nqoba: Ngiyakuthanda MaZwide

Anesu: Good night Nqoba

He chuckles.

Nqoba: I miss your stubborn side

Anesu: Good night Nqoba

Nqoba: Why can't you hang up like you did few
seconds ago?

Anesu: Thank you for reminding me

Nqoba: I'm joking wait...

Anesu: What Nqoba?

Nqoba: I love you Okay?

Anesu: I heard that the first time

Nqoba: I thought of switching the language in hopes

that you would say it back

I laughed silently.
Anesu: Are you drunk Nqoba?

Nqoba: I might have had a glass or two

Anesu: I knew it

Nqoba: No no no these are not words that are

coming out under the influence of alcohol, these
words come from the deepest part of my heart
where my love for you stays. I meant it the first
time and meant it the second time, I'm going to
repeat one more time

Anesu: That won't be necessary, Good night

I hung up and shook my head laughing, at least he

brought a smile on my face. I charged my phone
and I slept.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 76
ANESU MTSHALI.

The following morning she laid in her bed peacefully

and one could tell that she wasn't going to wake up
any moment sooner as she looked comfortable
inside those sheets. She laid on the bed and
suddenly she starts tossing and turning, she was
having a dream...

"In her room she woke up and she got ready for a
morning run, she had energy of a cheetah and she
wore her tight leggings with a sport bra. She took
her wrist watch and her phone with her airpods, she
plugs in her favourite jam as she sat on the small
chair tying her shoe laces. She stood up from the
chair and stood in front of the mirror tying her hair
into a neat bun.

She walks out of the room with her airpods in her

ears and she made her way downstairs, she went to
the kitchen and greets the maids who were
preparing breakfast. She fills her bottle with tap
water and she walks out the palace, she walks out
the gate and starts with her morning jog.

While she ran villagers would greet her and she

would wave back and she continues to run with her
forehead sweating already showing that the jog was
doing the job. she bumps into this male figure
dressed in a hoodie, as she bumped into the male
their bodies touched it was like an electric field
which pushed them apart and suddenly she felt her
whole body burning as if acid was being poured on
it.
She swallows the huge lump on her throat as she
fights her words to come out so she can apologise.

Anesu: I'm...I'm sorry sir I didn't see you there

The person doesn't respond but picks up the bottle

of water which she dropped on the floor, he hands
her the bottle and when their fingers touched that
electric field came back, her whole body burns as if
she was in a volcano.

She tried her very best not to show it as she fakes a

smile, she looks up at the the male figure standing
in front of her and she saw his face but did not
recognise him.

She decides to continue with her run as she felt like

she was in a fire pit she stood away from him, as
she continued to run she felt as if she was wet. She
slows down on her tracks and she stops, she looks
down at the sport bra she was wearing and her
body had a red dagger on it with blood dripping out
pouring onto the ground.

She suddenly felt the pain and she coughs out

blood, she tried to hold the knife and remove it but
her hands were shaking. She closed her eyes and
she grabs the knife with both her hands, she pulls it
out and she groans in pain as more blood poured
out.

She raised her head up and she turns to look around

only to find the same male figure staring at her with
a wide smile on his face and his eyes getting darker
the more she stared at him.

Anesu starts feeling dizzy and she lost her balance

leading her to fall down on the group, Suddenly the
scene shifts as if the soil was a little teleport.
She laid inside a dark cave with slaughtered heads
of people, she felt pain on her hands and she saw
the knives which were stabbed in both her hands
and she screams. Her scream echoed inside the
cave and she screams even louder when she she
saw the large knife on her left leg..."

The dreams fades leaving her sweating and tossing

on the bed she laid on, her chest moving up and
down. She could hear her own heart beat in her
ears as she and her eyes shut, she shoots her eyes
open and she shouts.

Anesu: NQOBA!

She breaths heavily , panting with tears at the edge

of her eyes as her eyes search for that one human
being she usually feels safe around when she has
dreams like this. Her whole body shaking like an
earthquake.
Realization struck her, Nqoba was not here and he
won't be here anytime sooner. Her eyes search
around the room and it was still dark outside, She
got out of bed and went to the bathroom, she
opens the sink and slashes cold water on her face
and she breaths out.

Anesu: What was that?

She asked herself as she stared at her own image on

the mirror.

She decides to take a shower in order to relax her

nerves and she steps out of the shower. She dries
her body and wore a oversized t-shirt with a short,
she took her phone and looks at the time.
Half past four in the morning the clock read, she
decided to go downstairs to make something to eat
since she felt hungry. She walks bare foot and
slowly opens the door peaking outside, the whole
house was dark and that creeped her out because
of the dream she just had. She swallows and she
walks out the room, every small sound and shadow
freaked her out.

She walks down the stairs and she went to the

kitchen, she opens the refrigerator and took out
some polony and cheese. She starts making a
sandwich and as she sliced the tin pieces polony,
she heard a huge sound of something dropping on
the floor shattering into pieces.

She jumps and held in tight on the knife in her hand,

her heart beats in an abnormal way with her
forehead literally sweating. She steps back and
leans on the Tv as she saw a shadow approaching
the kitchen, she screams at the top of her lungs and
the person appeared, it was Ayavuya who quickly
went to cover Anesu's mouth with his hand.

Aya: Relax...

He says shushing her and Anesu trembled into his

arms dropping the knife on the floor, Aya looked
freaked out and worried as he comforts her.

Anesu: You scared me Ayavuya, what are you doing

out here at this hour?

She cries and pulls out from the hug.

Aya: I'm sorry I did not mean to scar you, I didn't

even know you would be here.

Anesu wipes her tears and breathes for a moment.

Aya: You look shaky what's going on?

Anesu: I had a dream which scared the crap out of

me Ayavuya, I thought I was dying and I thought I
wasn't going to get out of the dream. I could feel
the pain and I just...it felt so real

Aya: You are going to be fine, I'm here and it's only
me. No need to worry

Anesu nods and wipes her tears.

Anesu: Why are you sneaking out anyways and

what did you break?

Aya: I'm going to suprise my boyfriend, it's his

birthday and I want to give him a suprise
Anesu: You do know that we have an important day
today right?

Aya: darn it! Okay I know I promise that I will be by

your side and give you a tour in the family business
but darling this is my marriage

Anesu: Did he propose?

She rolls her eyes.

Aya: No he didn't but he might but that's not the

case Anesu, I already made plans and I would hate
to miss this day

Anesu: Okay fine so it seems I will go with father

then

Aya: Why do you seem angry about that?

Anesu: Because...

She rolls her eyes and sighs.

Aya: Because?

Anesu: He is an old man and I want someone almost

my age to help me through the process but it's
okay. I understand that you have NEEDS...

Aya: Why are you emphasising the word Needs?

Anesu: Because it's something major to you

Aya: Girl I would choose that shaft of his...

Anesu: Okay that's disgusting now stop

Ayavuya laughs.

Aya: I hate to leave you but I have to go, I will see

you when I return and please. When father asks
about me just pretend you never heard the
question

Anesu: I will try me level best bring me something

nice

Aya: I will try me level best

He smiles and picks up the small bag he had, he

walks out the house and Anesu shook her head. She
took her sandwich and she went upstairs to her
room, she sat on her bed enjoying her sandwich .
Once she was done eating. She dozed off while
watching Tiktok and she was woken by her father
who shook her. She slowly opens her eyes and she
jumps a little when she saw her father who smiled
at her.

Musa: You really do love sleeping

Anesu: How long have you been here?

She sat up straight and wipes her mouth.

Musa: I have been here long enough to watch you

sleep even though I was a little bit concerned if you
forgot about our little plans for today

Anesu: Argh!

She searches for her phone underneath her pillow.

Anesu: The alarm was suppose to sound at...Argh!

She sat up straight and got out of the bed.

Anesu: I'm sorry father I did not mean to be late it's

just that I dozed off and couldn't hear my alarm

Musa: Relax it's okay sweetie we have all the time

in the world, I will be downstairs having breakfast
and you can join me once you are done

Anesu: Okay I will be quick I promise

Musa: Ungarobi (don't rob)

Anesu gave him a bored look and he laughs

standing up, he walk out the room and Anesu went
to open the curtains. She made the bed and she
went to take a shower, she got done and got
dressed.

She wore a long tight black skirt and a long sleeve v-

neck top, she tied her head into a neat bun and
wore some jewelry. She took her handbag and she
wore her pair red buttom heels, she walks out the
room and went downstairs.

She found her father seated having breakfast.

Anesu: Baba are we alone in the house?

Musa: Yes everyone is gone

Anesu: ohh

She sat down and they had breakfast.

...

After having breakfast they took an SUV which took

them to the farm, the driver parks the car on the
parking area and Anesu got out of the car. She
walks around the farm with her father narrating
what happened to the crops and animals, Anesu
seemed to be listening but her mind was
somewhere else. She stood in the middle of the
empty frield of burnt crops and she uses her hand
as a shovel and fills her one hand with soil. She
closed her eyes and breathes, she does a silent
prayer.

Anesu: I'm here now all had been forgiven, shed

lights on the work that's about to be done in this
land. Whatever curse that was on top of these lands
shall break this very moment, new crops shall grow,
live stock shall no longer die. Let me be the roots of
everything and l promise I shall take care of these
lands, the family business shall rise to the top of the
pyramid and we shall sell and receive customers as
if it was the end of the world.

She pours the soil back down on the ground and

turns to her father.

Anesu: We should go inside because it's about to

rain

Musa: You going to make it rain?

Anesu: Of course I'm about to make it rain

She smiles and walks inside the shop, she walks to

her father's office and sat down. She smiles looking
outside the window as the rain poured while there
was no sign of clouds in the sky.
Anesu: So tell me about the other family business

Miss sighs.

Anesu: How bad is it?

Musa: It's really bad we have employees suing the

company because they have both been paid for the
past few month

Anesu: What's the exact number of few months

father?

Musa: it's been seven months and more

Anesu sighs.
Anesu: That's really bad, how much do we have in
the business account?

Musa: it's empty

Anesu's jaw drops.

Anesu: Empty as in like there is nothing?

Musa: Yes

Anesu: Should I ask about the family account?

Musa: We are left with maybe ten thousand

Anesu: This is bad

Musa: Its really bad and I know

Anesu: What have you been doing with all this
money?

Musa: Ask your mother

Anesu: You know I don't talk to that woman so

please spare me for a second and that woman is not
my mother

Musa: Okay I understand your anger but I'm also

not a saint in all this

Anesu: What did you Do?

Musa: I kinda used some of the money for my

sexual needs
Anesu: Father!

Musa looks down.

Anesu: All of it?

Musa: Not all of it but some of it

Anesu: Wow this is just perfect, what are we going

to do with all these problems when we don't have
any money?

Musa: Some business man is going to invest into our

business and own some of the company shares

Anesu: Does this business man have a name?

Musa: Its your Dube boyfriend

Anesu: He is not my boyfriend father

Musa: But he is my son-in-law

Anesu: Whatever you want father but don't involve

me

Silence.

Anesu: When are they coming?

Musa: They will be arriving tomorrow

Anesu: Where will they stay?

Musa: They will stay with us at the palace

Anesu: I don't think that's a good idea

Musa: Why?

Anesu: I don't know but it's not a good idea

Musa: Its a perfect idea

Anesu looks at her father in a suspicious way.

Anesu: Father what are you trying to Do?

Musa: I'm not trying to do anything

Anesu: Father I can see it, you are trying to do

something and whatever it is, it's not good

Musa: You are being paranoid

Anesu: Whatever father, I have five million in my
credit card. I will donate four million and maybe we
can be able to solve some of our problem using the
money

Musa: You have five million?

Anesu: Perks of dating a rich man I guess

Miss laughs a little and Anesu joins him.

Musa: But you do know that you have to work for

your own money?

Anesu: That is what I'm about to do

Musa: That is good to hear also I have a business
proposal for you

Anesu: I'm listening

Musa: Since you are the first born how would you
feel if I make you the CEO of the all the family
businesses

Anesu's jaw mops the floor.

Anesu: What?

Musa: You heard me loud and clear

Anesu: But Father I did not even finish my matric

Musa: You have royal blood running through your
veins, you can be whatever you want with or
without your matric

Anesu: But Father...

Musa: I don't need an immediate answer but

consider it

Anesu: Father I just...I don't know

Musa: Like I said take your time

Anesu sighs.

CHAPTER 77
NQOBUTHANDO DUBE.

Dropping off from work after a hard long day only

to return to a mansion which is filled with boredom
and utter silence, living in that house without Anesu
has been really boring and dragging. If I’m not busy
with worj, I’m at the gym keeping myself fit and if
it’s not that I’m just watching the huge screen that I
bought to get rid of boredom but seems to not be
doing the job.

I park the car inside the garage and step out

heading inside, I enter using the door in the garage
which took me to the main room in the house. I
threw my car keys on top of the counter and went
straight to the fridge, I tok out a bottle of water and
drank it while leaning on the counter deep in my
thoughts.
Today I nailed a very important deal from Italy and I
now I have to head to Zimbabwe in a few hours o I
can take a look at what has to be done regarding
the Zwide business. After drinking half the water
inside the bottle my phone rang and I took it out of
my pocket. I checked the caller identity and it was
Gugulethu, I stared at the phone till it went straight
to silence.
Nqoba: I don’t have time for this

Honestly I don’t have time for this woman, she

keeps complaining about tiny things. She wants me
near her every single second and I told her straight
in the eyes that I’m not her lap dog. She won’t tell
me to jump and expect me to ask how high, nobody
controls me.
I walk upstairs to my room and the phone kept
ringing in my pocket, I simply placed it on mute and
I plugged the phone into the charger. I unbuttoned
my shirt and walked inside the closet disposing all
the clothes I had worn inside the laundry basket.
I walk out the closet and went to the bathroom, I
took a shower and once I was done. I did the rest of
the stuff that had to be done like lotioning and
getting dressed, I wore a pair of formal black pants
with a white shirt with silver matching cufflinks. I
wore a pair formal shoes, I went to take a small bag
and started to pack the clothes I would need.

My phone vibrates and I pick it up only to see

Zinathi’s number and name on the screen, I swiped
the green cellphone symbol and answered the call.
Nqoba: You are exaggerating
Zinathi: Come downstairs and let’s get over and
done with this trip, I left a lot of whore for this and
you delaying will make me change my mind
Nqoba: One day you are going to die because of
these whores
Zinathi: Okay fine but get your ass down here
He hung up and I placed my phone into my pocket, I
took my wallet and the small bag I had. I walk out
the room and went to study. I took some
documents and made my way downstairs.
I took my house keys and locked the house, I walk
towards the car and placed my back inside the boot
I get inside the front seat and Zinathi was playing
Megan thee stallion which made me to give him a
side eye as he played singing the lyrics.
He kept ringing and constantly taking out his
tongue, doing those sassy things girls do whenever
their baddie side awakens. This kind of character
showed by my brother right now makes me
question my brother’s sexuality.
Nqoba: Turn this nonsense off and drive to Gugu’s
apartment
Zinathi: You missing your whore already?
Nqoba: I’m not missing anybody and I don’t have to
explain myself to you so drive this car or I will leave
you behind
Zinathi: Okay jeez I’m starting the damn car
He starts the car when I sat back, he starts playing
King Vons music. We drove in silence and he parks
right in front of the apartment, the gate opens and
he drove in.
He parks outside and I look at him.
Nqoba: Stay in the car
Zinathi: Where else would I go? Of course I will stay
in the car
I roll my eyes and got out of the car, I walk to the
door and I knocked. Gugu opens the door and she
folds her arms Ioading her drama. She looks behind
me as if she was expecting me to walk in with
someone.
Nqoba: Can I come in?
Silence.
Nqoba: Okay I won’t be that long, I’m leaving for
business and I will be away for a week or two so if
there’s…
She interrupts me.
Gugu: You can’t leave me alone here I’m pregnant
with your child
Nqoba: So you can talk now when…
Gugu: How am I suppse to…
Nqoba: Don’t ever interrupt me when talking
Gugulethu, how many times do I have to tell you
that?
Gugu: I’m sorry Nzwakele it’s just…
Nqoba: You are also now allowed to call me by any
of my clan names, I’m Nqoba or Mr Dube nothing
else
Gugu: I’m carrying your child
Nqoba: We are not sure if that is mine so don’t
climb that high horse early because it won’t be nice
when you have to get down
She sighs.
Gugu: You can’t leave me Nqoba, we have
appointments
Nqoba: You have a driver and it is not compulsory
for me to be there so you will be fine
Gugu: Nqoba please…
Nqoba: I wasn’t asking for your permission Gugu I’m
leaving whether you are against it or not, call me
when there is an emergency either then that bye
I turn around and left her there, I got inside the car
and Nathi was back to his Megan Thee Stallion
playlist.
Nqoba: How many times do I have to tell you not to
play this kind this kinda music when I;m around, you
are making me start questioning your sexuality.

Nathi bursts into laughter and switched the music

drivinf out of the gate.

NKANYEZI NGUBANE.
She stood in front of her huge mirror in the middle
if her closet, she was wearing a red extra mini skirt
whch revealed her butt cheeks even though she
wore some stocking underneath. She wore a black
crop top and a silver salmon necklace and on her
feet she wore a pair of glass long heels, she had a
curled weave on and make-up wore her. She looked
like a stripper you would find in a club, he was busy
loading e things inside her small side beg then she
heard her door bell ringing.
She rolls her eyes.
Nkanyezi: Who could it be so late?
She asked herself as she made her way downstairs
as the whole house filled with the sound of her
pencil heel tapping on the tiles.
She rushed to the doo and opens it only to find
heavily pregnant Gugu, she rolls her eyes and
mutters under her breath.
Nkanyezi: Kanti when is she giving birth?
She said turning around walking inside the house
with Gugulethu following her behind.
Gugu: you look…
Nkanyezi: Stunning I know girl…what are you doing
here? Shouln’t you be at home being the pregnant
baby mama of a the richest man in thr world
Gugu: I wish I was home but I came here because
I’m starting to feel like this plan of ours is not going
anywhere, I can’t keep pretending Nkanyezi.
Mkhuseli keeps calling me and asking about my
whereabouts,he should forget about me because I
love Nqoba but yet again the main problem is that
he found the pregnancy test and he feels as I got rid
of the baby on the other hand Nqoba has suddenly
become a stranger. It’s as if he knows I’m not
carrying his child, can’t you believe that he left me?
I know he is going back to that useless witch
Nkanyezi sighs.
Nkanyezi: Look Gugu we will figure out something
but right now I have to go party and release some
stress

Gugu: You can’t release any stress Nkanyezi, you

brought me into all of this. You promised me gold
Nkanyezi and you are making me feel stupid.

Nkanyezi: Listen didn’t you I tell you I will figure out

something? I have bigger problems apart from
having to think of a plan on how I will make Nqoba
love you. He doesn’t care about you and I need to
come up with a better plan so please just let me go
release all the stress I have and then we can talk
about the plan on making him love you even though
HE DOESN’T okay?

She half shouts leaving Gugu with her eyes wide

open.
Nkanyezi: Great look…
She took out her phone checking the time.

Nkanyezi: My uber is right outside and I hav to get

going, I don’t care if you stay or leave but lock the
door on your way out

She walks out and Gugu shouts.

Gugu: How are you going to get in if I lock?

NKanyezi waves some pair of keys in the air and by
the looks of things it seems like that was the a way
of telling her that she has got a spare key.

She walks to the uber swaying her ass and got

inside the car, the driver inhales and exhales the air.

Nkanyezi: You like what your see?

The driver clears his throat getting back on
professional mode making Nkanyezi laugh at the
top of her lings.

Nkanyezi: Take me to the 108 club in street seven

The driver nods and he starts the car, the drive was
filled with silence and the driver finally arrives at
the club. The driver drops her off and she stood
outside the club, she took out a small bottle like
container which had white powder in it.

She scoops a nail full of the white powder someone

with a fast mind would know I’m talking about
cocaine anyways let’s leave the slow minded
one(jokes) she walsk inside the club and the whole
room felt small, she felt like she had the room in the
palm of her hands.
She danced walking inside and orders some shots
from the bar, she starts partying from half past
eight till twelve at midnight. The room filled with
people as the time went by, Nkanyezi stood in the
middle of the room. Her head spinning like crazy
and everything looking funny, a she stood there
confused a masculine huge hand held he around the
waist and pulls her closer to feel his enormous hard
erection pocking her on the ass.

She turns around to face the guy who was dark

skinned, tall and with eyes that were dark. He looks
at her with pleading eyes as his hands moved to her
ass.

He grabs her butt cheeks.

“ I know this is random, do you want to go home

with me?”
His energy overwhelms all over her and she wraps
her arms around his neck biting his lower lip.
Nkanyezi: Who are you stranger?
“Just somebody who wants to have a nice time.”
Nkanyezi: Do you have a car?
The guy chuckled and pulls her out of the crowd.
Nkanyezi: Wait let me take my beg
She took her beg and walks out with the man, he
opens the door for her and she got inside. He also
joins her and he drives off to his place.
They arrived at the guys place and it was like
nothing she has ever seen before, the house
seemed to be twice as large then Nqobas house. He
had a lot of sport cars parked outside, he chuckles
watching her reaction.

“ You are not here for that now are you…you are
here for me,” he said getting out of the car after he
parked it right in front of the door step.
He opens the door for her and he picks her up out
of the car lifting her in bridal style and he walked
towards his huge mansion door. He unlocks the
door with his face and Nkanyezi looks at him.
Nkanyezi: How am I suppose to get out then?
“Relax there is a key.”
Nkanyezi nods.
“You are planning on leaving me already?”
Nkanyezi: Nope it’s just curiosity

He smiles and carries her upstairs to his room, he

placed her down and she took a step back till she
reached the bed behind her. She threw herself on
the bed and opens her legs a little, the guy stares at
the sight before his eyes and he slowly walks
towards the bed unbuttoning his shirt. They both
don’t know how their clothes left their bodies and I
know you will hate this line but they had sex and
the rest was history.
She woke up in the morning with her whole body
hurt and her clothes scattered all over the place,
she looks next to her and the bed was empty. She
wondered where was the guy but then she saw this
as an opportunity of leaving the house.
She picks up her clothes from the floor and got
stressed, as she tiptoed to the door the guy walks
out of the bathroom and cleared his throat.
“Where do you think you are going?”
Nkanyezi turned with a smile on her face.
Nkanyezi: I didn’t think you were around
“Is that why you were sneaking out or there is
another reason?”
Nkanyezi: No there’s no other reason, look I don’t
know you and you don’t know me. We had sex and
that’s it

The guy had a smirk on his face.

“You think it ends there?”
Nkanyezi: Of course it ends here what do you think?
“You belong to me now.”
Nkanyezi laughs.

Nkanyezi: I’m leaving and you…

She points at the guy.
Nkanyezi: You are crazy
She clicks her tongue and walks out the room, she
requested an uber and it took her to her place.
…

She arrives at her place and Gugu was already gone,

she shoots up straight to her room and went
straight to sleep. The urge to pee forced her to
open her eyes and she steps out of the bed to go
releave herself, she walks to the bathroom with
sleepiness all over her eyes.
She sat on the toilet seat and did her business, once
she was done and when she was up on her feet. She
felt dizzy and shook her head thinking that maybe
the dizziness would go away, she went to the sink to
splash cold water on her face. The dizziness became
worse and she balanced herself with her hands on
the basin of the sink.
She looks at herself through the mirror and the
background behind her turned black, she thought it
was because she was dizzy. She splashed water on
her face once again and she looks at herself on the
mirror, a shadow of a man standing behind her, she
jumped and she picked up a clean towel to wipe her
face.

Once she was done wiping her face the dark

background was gone and the shadow also, she
breaths out in relief. She walks out the room and as
she walks, she screams at the top of her lungs
when she saw the very same man she slept with last
night seated on her bed.

“Surprised to see me my love?”

Nkanyezi: How…
She breaths out shaking a little bit.
Nkanyezi: How did you get inside here?
“That’s not important but what’s important is that
I’m here.”
Nkanyezi: I’m going to call the police, what are you
doing here? Answer me and who are you?
He chuckles standing up from the bed and walking
towards her, the more he walks towards her the
more the dark aura around him overwhelmed her
making her whole body shiver.
He was standing in front of her and she looks deep
into his eyes which seemed to be darker than
normal.
“Don’t you remember?”
Nknanyezi: Don’t I remember what?
He chuckles and brought his face closer to hers, he
heads for her ear and when his lips touched her ear,
her whole body shivers and her hair thickens as if
she has seen a ghost.
“You belong to me now.”
Nkanyezi: What do you mean by that?
She asked slowly while shivering.
“I mean that you and me are one.”
Nkanyezi: Huh?
“You slept with me right?”
Nkanyezi: Yes but what does that have to do with
you owning me?
The man just chuckles and the sound of his chuckles
scared Nkanyezi to death.
“Relax I won’t hurt you.”
Nkanyezi: Who are you?
“Not who but what,” he smirks

CHAPTER 78
ANESU MTSHALI.
Here once again I’m being woken up by this very
same dream, I checked the time and it’s half past
four in the morning. I’m even scared to go out and
take a little jog, let alone go out for a walk. I don’t
know what this stupid dream means but all I can say
is that it’s worrying me really bad.
I step out of the bed and I when I stepped out of the
bed I felt a sharp pain on my heart and followed by
another pain where my heart dropped a little bit as
if I was experiencing some shock but the weirdest
part from what’s really happening is that nothing in
front of me seems to be shocking me.
Fighting the sleep that filled my eyes but couldn’t
actually allow it to consume me as I don’t want to
go over that dream of mine one more. I’m still
considering my fathers proposal of making the CEO
of the company and I mean I do deserve it since I
am the first born and by right the position should be
mine but yet again I know the drama that will arise
with me taking the seat next to my father as the
CEO.
I was busy thinking about this major issue when I
heard some stumbling coming from the corridor
and I honestly felt frightened but yet again
conserned. What if it’s a thief? I slowly walk to the
door of my room and I slightly opened the door only
to find Ayavuya laying on the door.
Anesu: Aya you scared me
I laughed a little.
Anesu: You know I was ready to scream thief and
having the guards walk in to kill you…oh my gosh!

I gasped when I saw his face, I went down on my

knees and I touched his bruised face which had
cblood coming out of her noise. I shook him trying
to wake him up but he was not responding.
Anesu: Aya please don’t play like this
I felt my tears at the edge of my eyes as he did not
move a single inch of his body.
Anesu: Ayavuya WAKE UP!
He opens his eyes and flinched in pain.
Anesu: Oh thank God, you scared me for a second
there. What happened to you? Why are you all
bruised up?
Aya: Anesu? How did you get here?
Anesu: I heard some sound coming from…that’s not
important, what happened to your face? Is
someone break inside the palace or what?
He balanced himself with his hand on my shoulder
as he sat up straight.
Aya: Nobody broke inside the palace if that was the
case we would be on lock down already
Anesu: Then?
Aya: I don’t want to talk about it okay? I just want
to…
He tried to get up but that was a huge task. He
flinched in pain and went back down instead.
Anesu: Aya you are hurting yourself with all this let
me take you to your room so I can take care of your
wounds and then you will tell me every detail on
what happened with you
Aya: Anesu…
Anesu: I was not asking you Aya now let’s get you
up
He flinched in pain as I helped him get up and as I
walked with him to his room direction, he shook his
head.
Aya: Don’t take me there, it’s too far. Take me to
your room
I did not argue with him, I took him to my room and
helped him lay o my bed and he looked badly
beaten up, it’s like a gang of people beat him up.
I attend to his wounds and his now seated opposite
me.
Anesu: Okay now it’s time to speak up
Aya: Speak up about what?
Anesu: Aya I’m not stupid and I’m your sister, you
can’t expect me to not be concerned after I saw you
in that state
Aya: I don’t want to talk about it
I sighed.
Anesu: How was your date ke? At least tell me it
was okay?
He rolls his eyes.
Aya: I don’t want to talk about that either, I
shouldn’t have gone there
Anesu: Kanti what happened there? Did he do this
to you?
He burst into tears in a split of a second, did I say
something wrong? That doesn’t seem to be the
case. Argh!!
He wipes his tears.
Aya: I shouldn’t have went there, I should have
stayed here with you. He lied to me Anesu, he made
me look like a fool. When I arrived there I found him
on top of another man fucking him and to tell that I
was pissed I started…I marched straight to him and
confronted him and his whore only for him to get
on top of me and beat me up. His stupid whore
helped him out and that pissed me off even more, I
couldn’t do anything, I was weak. I had to come
back home and I just…I hate him.

Damn why do men find it easy to cheat these day? I

stood up from my seat and I went to give him a
tight hug.
Anesu: Everything is going to be okay
Aya: It’s not Anesu…he broke me
Anesu: shhhhh! Hush now
I kissed him on his forehead and he cried even
louder.
Aya: Look can I hide in your room for a while, I can’t
be seen in this state
Whaaat? I have to go meet with Nqoba alone? Okay
fine I understand he is not oaky but…oh my word.
.
.
.
DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 79
NARRATIVE.
Morning came and Nqoba lands at the airport with
his brother, the royal cars were already waiting for
them. The gaurds load the begs inside the car and
they took the two Dube brother to the palace.
Nqoba sat anxious opposite his brother, his palms
sweating as thoughts cloud her mind. He sat there
thinking of how long it has been since his sight was
blessed with the only human beig who fills his
stomach with butterflies, the only woman in this
earth who makes him nervous.
Zinathi could notice that something was bothering
his brother as the car thickens with silence.
He chuckles.
Nathi: Are you alright brother?
Nqoba snaps out of it and looks at him brother
trying to catching what he was saying because he
did not hear the question clearly.
Nqoba: Huh?
Nathis: I’m asking if you are alright, you have been
to quite for my likings
Nqoba: I’m just thinking about business
He clears his throat and Zinathi laughs a little.
Nathi: Are you nervous because you are going to
see her?
Nqoba: Is it that obvious
Nathi: It’s easy to read you brother
Nqoba sighs deeply.
Nqoba: I just…I fumbled the most beautiful woman
who had the purest intentions and it’s as of this
moment that I realise that I messed up. There isn’t a
moment I don’t…
Nathi: Don’t vent to me, sit down and fix things with
her
Nqoba: I will try speaking to her even though she
has the most hardest head
Nathi: That right there is the truth
They laughed as they arrived at the palace and they
could not believe their eyes, the car stops and they
got out of the house.
The front door of the palace opens and Msawenkosi
walks out with the widest smile, he went to greet
the two brothers with the widest smile.
Musa: You travelled safely?
Nqoba: Yes sir the flight was pretty amazing and
once again I want to thank you for allowing us to
stay in this beautiful house of yours
Musa: It’s an honour, come inside and I will
introduce you to the family and I’m sure you must
be starving
Nathi: To death sir we are
Nqoba hits him with his elbow so he can shut the
hell up and show a little bit of manners, Nathi looks
at his brother while he brushed where Nqoba poked
him with his elbow.
Nathi: What? I’m just being honest, what’s the
crime in that? Aren’t you starving?
Nqoba: I am starving but…
He interrupts him before he could even finish.
Nathi: No futher statement just shut up and let’s
follow the kind gentle man so we can fill our
stomach with food
He quickly says following Msawenkosi who led the
way, Nqoba just shook his head.
They walked in and Msawenkosi introduced the
guest to the family members and what concerned
Nqoba is that Anesu was not in the dining table.
His eyes search the room but he couldn’t find her
anyone.
Sqalo: It’s your first time seeing such lavish?
He says to Nqoba.
Nqoba: Excuse me?
Sqalo: You are staring around a lot, aren’t you use
to this kind of life
Nqoba simply chuckles.
Nqoba: Who are you again?
Sqalo: I’m the big brother and the first born, heir to
the throne
Nathi burst into laughter but stops when Nqoba
gave him a dead stare, Nathi clears his throat and
minds his business.
Nqoba: I think you should stop day dreaming, that
woman over there?
His eyes land on Anesu who was walking out of the
kitchen with a transparent medium sized bowl filled
with omelettes inside, she was laughing with one of
the helpers.
She stops laughing when her eyes locked with
Nqoba who was seated across the dining table with
his eyes glued on her, he watched the way she
walked carrying the lands she walks on like the
Queen she is. She was dressed in a dark blue tight
long dress which made her skin glow, in his eyes she
was moving in slow motion but in reality she wasn’t.
Anesu: Good morning everybody, the omelettes are
ready
She smiles breaking the eyes contact and sat down
next to Zamazwide.
Nqoba: Now that’s the first born and heir to the
throne
He mumbles under his breath.
Nathi: What was that brother?
Nqoba: Oh nothing, it’s nothing
Nathi smiles looking at Anesu.
Nathi: How are you my lovely sister? It’s been a
while
Anesu: I’m good and yourself?
Nathi: Besides annoyance of Nqoba whinning about
this trip and how excited he is to meet you, I’m
perfecty fine
Nqoba felt like killing Nqoba and the way he looked
at him, if looks would kill he would be dead by now.
Nqoba: I wasn’t whinning trust me
Anesu: Even if you were to whine who cares?
She looks at Nqoba straight in the eyes.
Nqoba: A lot of people have hearts and are less
bitter then you, so I’m sure they would care
Anesu: I guess I got the bitterness from you
She ate the piece of toast out from the fork while
her eyes were focused on him, burning his ego
down to the ground and she turns to Nathi.
Nathi: It’s good to hear that you have been doing
okay Nathi
She smiles.
Nathi: Damn!
Sqalo took a bite on his toast and watched both
Anesu and Nqoba.
Musa: Mr Dube
Nqoba: You call me by name sir it’s okay no need
for formalities
Musa: Okay then Nqobuthando and Zinathi, my
princess over there…
He points at Anesu.
Musa: She will show you to your rooms and then
she will be the person you will be discussing
business with
Sqalo: Father why her? But I’m here
Musa: I don’t answer to you Sqalo, You left this
family and went overseas for whatever bullshit you
be doing there and you had no guts to come back
home when I told you that the family business
needed you so you are going to shut the hell up, if
you want to pack your things and go back overseas
then do just that. I won’t have a child question my
decisions
He clicks his tongue out of anger, Sqalo stood up
and Msawenkosi looks at him.
Musa: You are not about to make me embarrass
you in front of our guests
Sqalo swallows and he sat down.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 80
ANESU MTSHALI.
I hate the way my father doesn’t talk things through
with me but goes ahead and throw it on my face.
He knows very well that I broke up with Nqoba but
it feels as if he wants me to be around Nqoba, he
doesn’t know that I don’t want to be around him.
Being around him won’t change anything, him and I
are over so he should forget.
Right now I’m walking them to their room and Nathi
decided to go inside his room to freshen up so we
can leave, I was left with Nqoba.
I walked him to his room and the only thing you
could hear was the sound of my shoes, he seems to
be walking slowly behind me on purpose.
I turned to face him.
Anesu: Can you walk a little bit faster I don’t have
all day
I turned back with my head facing ahead and for
the fact that I did not wait for his response. I
stopped in front of his room and fold my arms, I
sighed.
Anesu: This is your room, if you get lost or anything
there are people who can assist you, anything you
need?
I look up at him and he stood in front of me with
both his hands inside his pocket.
Nqoba: I need you is that too much to ask for
He says.
Anesu: I’m afraid you are asking for something I
can’t give to you Nqobuthando
I pushed him to the side and he grabs my wrist but
before he could grab on tight I yanked my arm out
of his grib.
Anesu: you should be out by eleven forthy tell your
brother the same thing

I left him there and went to my room, I sat there

and decided to freshen up since everyone will be
doing the same thing. I took a quick shower and
honestly that shower was suppose to be quick but I
felt really cold and the water felt really warm. I step
out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my
body, I walk to my bed and picked up my phone.

I checked the time and it was eleven fifty, I can't

believe I lost track of time. The way I got dressed it
was as if I was having an adrenaline rush, I picked
out a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt.i don't
even know why I'm wearing a short sleeve when I'm
going to feel cold in a split of a second but I don't
want to ruin the outfit with a jacket.

I wore my sneakers took my purse and I walked out

of my room.

I walked downstairs while writing Ayavuya a text

that I was leaving and that he should take care of
himself.

When I arrived downstairs I felt a little bit bad that I

had to make Zinathi and Nqoba wait after I told
them specifically when we had to leave, they were
seated in the living room. Zinathi enjoying a
sandwich making me wonder if he ever gives food a
break because everytime I see him, his always
stuffing food into his mouth and the concerning
part is that he never gains any weight.
Why don't man gain any weight? Nevermind, my
eyes move to Nqoba who was seated on the couch.
Leg on top of the other and his eyes glued on the
television.

He was wearing a black formal shirt and a pair of

black jeans, a pair of black sneakers and he had a
jacket in hand.

Anesu: I'm sorry I made you guys wait, I had to

freshen up and I lost track of time

Nathi: Don't worry Sister-in-law we don't mind

waiting right brother?

Nqoba doesn't say a word but stood up with one

hand inside his pocket and the other hand grubbing
fighting of the leather jacket he had in his hand.
Anesu: I guess that means we can leave now right?

Nathi: Yes let me clean this plate in the kitchen and

I will be right back

I nod and he left for the kitchen, I look at Nqoba

and he was staring at the family picture which was
hanging on the wall.

I think he felt my eyes on him which is why he

turned to look at me, he looks at me from head to
toe and a smile creeps into his face.

Nqoba: Nice jeans

I look down at the jeans I was wearing and I don't

know if I should take that as a complement or what
but to lay it on the table I did not understand what
he meant.
Nathi: Okay we are all ready to go. Wait where is
your brother?

Anesu: Which brother? If you are asking about that

respect lacking brother of mine then I don't know

Nathi: I'm talking about Ayavuya

Shit, what do I say Now? I'm sure if I were to lie

right now Nqoba would see right through me.

Anesu: He said he won't be able to join us because

of some personal issues

Nathi: Okay you two will find me in the car

He walks out and I look at Nqoba who looks at me.

Anesu: You can go

Nqoba: I wouldn't be a gentleman if i weren't to

allow my lady to go first

Anesu: Whatever Nqobuthabdo

I roll my eyes and followed Nathi, Nqoba walked

behind me and as I walked I could feel his eyes on
me. I know he was looking at me as I could feel it
but the way his eyes felt on my skin, he wasn't just
looking at me for the sake of looking.

He had other mischievous thoughts in his head that

I don't even want to know of.

I got inside the car at the back and Nathi asked me

to seat at the front, I wasn't about to argue with his
because I knew that he would have his way of
making me agree even though I did not feel like
doing so.

Nqoba was the driver of course, i directed him to

the farm business first and I introduced him to the
stuff.

Anesu: Okay guys this is where the magic of nature

takes place, we produce a lot of things here with
the help of our workers. The farm was not in a good
state when I arrived but as you can see everything is
falling right back to place.

Nathi: Nice

He smiles and follows me.

Anesu: This is where the female cattle are taken in
for milking and then the milk is transported into the
factory where it is filled into containers and which
are then stored in boxes which are taken by these
trucks over there, safely delivered to our faithful
customers

I points at the trucks which are loading the milk, I

showed them the rest of the farm. The butcher, the
fruit and vegetable section and so on.

We went to the family business where all the shit

happens, we walked inside the building and it was
half empty. We took an elevator to the conference
room which had boxes and sighed deeply.

Nqalo: And then? What's with all these boxes?

Anesu: It's the law suits from our employees and

with all of this our business can shut down, we have
already lost a lot of customers and it's not looking
good

Nathi: All these people are suing the company?

*scoffs* for what reason Now?

Anesu: Well it's happens that my father not entirely

him though but he has been using a lot of the
business money in a way that he used a it of money
and deprived the workers their wages which led
them suiting and threatening the company, already
we don't have good name in the business segment

Nqalo: That doesn't sound good at all I mean my

company has never been sued before but mainly
because no one has the audacity to even do so

Anesu: Well that's good for you but in this case we

are not you
Nathi: This is bad like really bad

Anesu: Will we be able to get this fixed

Silenced filled the room it's became so thick that I'm

sure one would be able to walk on it.

Nqoba: I can fix it for you

Nathi turns to look Nqoba as if he had gone crazy.

Nqoba: Give me a night

Anesu: What?

Nathi: You are exaggerating Nqoba we can't erase

all of this in one night
Anesu: Nathi is right this is a lot of work and it
needs a lot of time, we have to go to court and
meet with the judge and...

Nqoba: I won't go through all the process I have my

ways

Anesu: Your ways are not always best Nqoba

Nqoba: Anesu you called me here to help and I'm

helping can't you just...

Anesu: I won't allow you to do illegal stuff through

our family business, I won't remember how much
danger your illegal business brought to me Nqoba. I
almost

Nqoba: Ohh wow...

Anesu: What?

Nqoba: You not going to bring all that drama up

now are you

Anesu: Nqoba can we do this the right way

Nqoba: Anesu you don't trust me to do this

Anesu: How am I suppose to trust you when you

cheated on me Nqoba, how can I trust you
something this major when you failed when it came
to my feeling how are you suppose to fix all of this

Nqoba: Anesu we are talking business now and you

are dragging this that don't concern this business
We kept arguing and I noticed Nathi leaving the
room but I did not mind him, we continued arguing
till the room went silence. I looked at him in the
eyes and they way I was so frustrated about this I
wanted to cry and he could see, he walks closer to
me and I step back.

Anesu: Stay where you are don't come any closer

Did this Zulu man listen? No he did not, he steps

even closer till my butt touched the cold table
which was behind me. Our bodies touched and I
could smell his cologne riding inside my nostrils like
a wave, filling my stomach with countless
butterflies. I watched his hands motion to my waist
like an innocent child who does not know what is
happening, he held my tiny waist and stood still in
front of me. He moves his one hand away from my
waist and he cups my cheek with his hand and his
touch burned my cold skin.
Why is his temperature always higher then mine?
He made me look at him in the eyes and the way he
lickedhis button lip, I swear it made something in
my body twitch.

Nqoba: MaZwide

Anesu: Don't call me that

He knows very well I like it when he calls me that

way.

Nqoba: Sthandwa Sami?

I swallow.

Nqoba: Is that better?

I slowly shook my head but deep down my heart
was dancing and my vagina dripping wet of you
know what(wiggles eyes brows)

Nqoba: Mama I will never break your trust like the

way I did the last time and if you just put trust me in
me this one time I will have your family company
name cleaned out and back in the good books

Anesu: But Nqoba doing things illegally might get

you arrested and...

Nqoba: I'm a Big man I can take care of myself and I

wouldn't get myself into something I don't know

Anesu: Let's say I allow you to do this? What do you

want in return?
He exhaled deeply and links his forehead with mine,
we were now breaking the same air. He looks at me
deep in the eyes, with those eyes of his. Those eyes
which screamed nothing but lust for me, he brought
his lips closer to mine and I held my breath as if my
life was depending on it.

Our lips slightly touched.

Nqoba: As much as I want you to be mine again I'm

not about to use the good I'm about to do as a way
of getting you back

Anesu: Nqoba...

Nqoba: But it's been a while since I got to taste

those lips of yours and I badly want to feel them
but...
He groans moving back.

Nqoba: I dropped important plan, cancelled deals

because I wanted to be here with you and help you
over come this but mainly because I love you so
much I'm not willing to see you suffer even if it's for
a few seconds my heart wouldn't be able to bare
such pain

Fuck you Anesu why can't you forgive him Now?

Why can't you fall into his arms and let him devour
you? Why do you have to so stupid and play hard to
get?

Nqoba: Ngyakuthanda MaZwide and I'm not going

to step down on this till I have it all done, whether
you like it or not

Anesu: But one night is not enough

Nqoba: Do you trust me?

I looked into his eyes and I know he is yearning to

hear me say that I trust him, I sighed deeply letting
loose of all my chains which were locking in my
pride and trust.

Anesu: I trust you

Nqoba: Thank you

He breaths out and he kissed me on the forehead

before moving away from me, he tucks his hands
into his pocket and smiles looking at me.

Anesu: So what do we have to do?

Nqoba: You won't do anything but go back to the
palace right after you have given me all the files
which belong to the people who work under this
company, their files much have their banking
details, phone number and their location

Anesu: What will you do with all that?

.

Nqoba: I will tell you in the morning now where is

everything?

Anesu: I think it's inside those boxes

Nqoba: Perfect.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 81
NARRATIVE.

Zinathi decided to go back to the palace since he

could not handle the heat that was slowly building
up in the room Anesu and Nqoba shared, he knew
that if he stayed even longer he was going to burn
because of the heat which is why he decided to
leave.

The uber dropped him at the palace and when he

arrived to his surprise the palace was empty, the
family members gone but the workers were there.
He made himself at home and went to the fridge to
take out something to eat, he was really
comfortable as he thought he was alone in the
palace.
He walks upstairs and that's when he saw Ayavuya
limping his way to his room, the very same Ayavuya
whom he was told he would not be available to go
on tour with them showcasing the A wide family
because of personal issues.

He raised a brow as he watch him and wonders why

Anesu would lie about his presence at the palace,
Nathi walks to the room and doesn't even knock. He
barges inside the room and asked...

Nathi: Why are you limping?

He asked Aya who had his back facing him, he had

froze right on his tracks. One? It's because he did
not expect anyone to be in the palace which is why
he left his room.

Aya: Nathi what are you doing here? Shouldn't you

be with Anesu and your brother?
Nathi: I was but... you are ignoring my question,
why are you limping?

Aya: It's nothing I just fell while exiting the shower

Nathi: Don't lie to me, turn around and look at me

Aya: What you are asking is not really necessary

Nathi: I won't ask again Ayavuya

Aya had no choice and he slowly turns around,

Nathi flinched and his face filled with anger at the
same time as he saw the bruises on Aya's face.

Nathi: Lift up your shirt

Aya: Okay that's enough demands can you leave my
room now I want to be alone

Nathi took a quick step forward as if he was

approaching him which made him step back.

Aya: Okay okay what is it with you?

He lifts up he shirt and his skin was close to being

purple, Nathi's anger worsened.

Nathi: Who did this to you?

Aya: Why do you care?

Nathi: That's a stupid question to ask, did you even

see yourself? Who could do such a thing?
Aya: It's none of your business Nathi just do what
you came here for and leave me alone

Nathi: I'm not leaving you in this state

Aya's jaw drops.

Nathi: Don't have me asking you again Ayavuya

Aside

He clenched his jaw and Aya saw that he was

serious, he told him about the surprise he had
planned for his boyfriend which led to him finding
the very same boyfriend he claimed to love and
claimed to love him cheating on him with another
guy.

Nathi: What is his name?

Aya: What do you want to do with his name?

Nathi: Nevermind

He took out his phone and types a message to his

brother Vezo to look for information on Ayavuya's
boyfriend and he slides his phone into his pocket.

Aya: Can you leave Now?

Nathi: let me see those wounds

Aya: It's not that bad it's just...

Nathi walks up to him and Aya lifts up his shirt,

Nathi touched his skin which was bruised making
Aya flinch in pain.
Nathi: Give me the details of your family doctor

Aya: Why are you so demanding? Can't you ask

properly in a proper manner?

Nathi looks at him.

Aya: Okay look the thing is that my family kinda

stopped paying the doctor which makes us to have
no doctor

Nathi: I will call someone to come here instead

Aya quickly stops him.

Aya: You can't!

Nathi: What will stop me?

Aya: I don't want my father to see me in this state
because if he does, he will ask a lot of questions and
if I tell him the truth he won't see me for the man I
really am and I don't want that, I know he is already
disappointed in me and I don't want him to be
disappointed even more

Nathi remains silent for a few minutes as if he was

thinking and he finally starts talking.

Nathi: I have a plan and if you don't run with it then

I don't know what we are going to do to help you

Aya: I never said I needed your help

Nathi: Just like the sister

He smirks and Aya rolls his eyes.

Aya: I'm listening what is the plan?

Nathi: I will take you to a hotel and I will call the

doctor there, you will be treated without your
father knowing

Aya: That sounds like an idea coming out of your

stupid mind

Nathi: Did you just call me stupid?

Aya shrugs and Nathi squeezed his rib.

Aya: Ouuuucchhh! Nathi that is not funny

Nathi: That's for calling me stupid

Aya rolls his eyes.

Nathi sneaked Aya out of the palace and he booked

a hotel while they were heading there then he
called the doctor, the doctor arrived to treat Aya
and Nathi excused himself when his phone rang.

It was Nqoba and he answered the call.

Nqoba: Where the hell did you disappear to?

Nathi: You wanted me to sit there and listen you

argue with your ex? I'm not crazy and seriously
speaking I have better things to do other then that

Nqoba: Whatever I need you to come back

Nathi: Are you two done fighting?

Nqoba: Can you be serious for a second?

Nathi: Okay sorry, wassup? What do you need me

for?

Nqoba: I want to clear the Aside company name

tonight and that means staying up all night

Nathi sighs.

Nathi: But Nqoba that's a lot of work

Nqoba: I know but we can do this I know we can

Nathi: Yes we can do it but it's risky, how will you be

able to pay all of these people?
Nqoba: We can't discuss the details over the phone
just be outside when I get there, I'm going to drop
MaZwide there

"Don't call me that," Anesu says in the background

making Nathi laugh.

Nathi: I'm not at the palace but I will be there in a

few minutes mind waiting for me?

Nqoba: Where are you? You found a new whore

already?

Nathi: I'm not always busy with whores Nqoba

Nqoba: Just get your ass here

Nathi rolls his eyes and he hung up, he walks to the

cafeteria to get Ayavuya something to eat. He went
back to his hotel room and he found him wrapping
up with the doctor.

"Mr Dube."

Nathi: Doctor, thank you for coming in such a short

notice

"I'm just doing my job and Sir over there is lucky

that he did not break any rib either then that he is
okay, prescribed him some medicine for the pain
and he will be okay in two days."

Nathi: I will have your money transferred

"I will take my leave."

The doctor left and Nathi walks up to Ayavuya who
was getting dressed, he looks at him and placed the
food on top of the bed.

Nathi: I bought you something to eat

Aya: Thank you

Silence.

Nathi: I'm afraid that I have to leave my brother

needs me but I promise to be back to check on you,
I will send someone to give you to medicine

Aya: You have done enough for me already

Nathi: I'm just being a gentleman

Aya: You can't be a gentleman if you are still a
demanding person

Nathi: I become like that when worried

Aya: So you were worried about me?

Nathi clears his throat and took out his phone.

Nathi: I don't mean to cut our conversation short

but I really need to get going

Aya: I understand

Nathi: Take care of yourself

As he was about to leave Aya grabs his arm and

looks at him in the eyes.
Aya: Thank you for helping me Zinathi

Nathi: It's a pleasure

Aya smiles and let's go of Nathi's hand.

He took a uber which took him to the palace, he

arrives there and Nqoba was already there. He
looks at his brother Nqoba who was talking to
Anesu who was wearing his leather jacket, he smiles
admiring how good they look together and
wondered when he would experience such love.

Nqoba kissed Anesu on the forehead and he

watched her walk inside, Nathi taps Nqoba on the
shoulder and he turns around.

Nqoba: I know you were watching us so shut up

Nathi: I won't say anything so what do we have to
do tonight?

Nqoba: I will need you on the calls and the twins

will do the transferring of money, I will deal with
the court

Nathi: Where will you take such money?

Nqoba: I did not win business man of the Year five

times in a row for nothing

He smirks.

CHAPTER 82
NKANYEZI NGUBANE.

She just arrived from a her shopping spree, she has

been getting from God knows where. She arrives at
her apartment and she opens the door walking
inside with the shopping bags. As she walks inside
the apartment approaching the kitchen he found
the strange guy seated on top of the counter eating
an apple with a knife.

Nkanyezi's jaw drops.

Nkanyezi: What are you doing here? Did I not tell

you that I don't ever want to see you and I don't
even want to do how you got inside my apartment
but what I know is that I want you out
"I think you are forgetting that you belong to me,
you and myself are one," he says getting off the
counter.

Nkanyezi: I'm tired okay? I'm not your sex machine

meaning you can't just come here demanding to
have sex with me, I don't even know you for
goodness sakes yet alone know your name

"My name is iimportant but what I know is that I

want you to take off your clothes."

Nkanyezi felt like crying.

Nkanyezi: I just got out from a wonderful shopping

spree and the last thing I want is to be disabled
because of your rough sex
"Where do you think you got the money you are
spending?"

Nkanyezi: You! You sent me the money? Why did I

not see this, what do you want from me?

"Stop with the questions already and just get naked,

I don't have all day."

He took off his belt and his pants drop to the floor,
he was already hard and read making Nkanyezi
swallow.

Nkanyezi: I can't do this with you

"Don't make me do this in a way that I don't want

to, it's still good that I'm asking nicely. The last one
tired because of this and I would hate to kill you
because you are what I need to get closer to my
treasure."

Nkanyezi: What do you mean I'm what you need?

The strange clicked his tongue and walked closer to

Nkanyezi, he tears the clothes off her body and
threw her on top of the couch. Opens her legs and
enters her, she cries while he did whatever he
wanted with her, even though this was by force she
started to enjoy it the more she looked into his dark
eyes which got darker as they had sex.

The rest was history.

.
.
.
NARRATIVE.
Nqoba and his brothers worked really hard all night,
clearing the bad name of the Aside family in the
court. He managed to clear their name and they are
now dealing with paying the unpaid employees
their full amount and writing them notes that they
are asked to return to work immediately.

They were able to finish everything by three in the

morning, Vezo and Fiso left the video chat to be
with their woman. Nathi drove to the palace with
Nathi who simply went straight to his room, Nqoba
went to his room and when he arrived there he
went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

Once he was done he wore a pair of sweatpants

and a vest, he went downstairs to look for
something to eat before he goes to sleep. He arrives
at the kitchen and he looks at the fridge but he
simply lost his appetite since he had to make the
food and there was no time.
He just took out a bottle of water and heads
upstairs, he looks at Anesu's room and fights the
urge to not go there but the urge of going there
won.

He walks to her room and he wanted to knock but

he didn't want to wake her, he walks inside and he
watched her laying peacefully on the bed. He looks
at the position she slept in which made him laugh a
little, he walks closer to the bed and he placed the
bottle on top of her night stand.

He climbs inside the bed and he snuggles closer to

her, she pops her eyes open and he whispered to
her ear.

Nqoba: It's me relax

Anesu: What are you doing here?

Nqoba: I did it mami your family name is cleared

Anesu: Really?

She turns around to face him and when she saw him
nod, she gave him a tight hug and he made her
climb on top of her.

Anesu: Thank you so much!

She kissed Nqoba on the lips by mistake and paused

when she realised what she equally had done.

Nqoba: uhm...

Anesu: I'm sorry

Nqoba: No no no don't be

Anesu: You should probably let go of me now

Nqoba: I love you Anesu

He squeezed her waist a little bit and she bites her

lower lip.

Anesu: Nqoba you are misbehaving and on top of

that you shouldn't be here

Nqoba: Why are you fighting this?

Anesu: I don't want to be your fool anymore Nqoba

Nqoba: You aren't and you were never a fool here, I

was
Anesu: It's good you realised that now please
leave...

Nqoba: MaZwide...

Anesu: Nqobuthando

He looks at her in the eyes and slowly moved his

hands to her thighs and a smile grew on his face
when he felt that she was wearing a nightdress.

Anesu stops his hand before it could enter inside

her night dress.

Anesu: Don't!
Nqoba: Is this night dress new or something, I don't
know it

Anesu: Funny

She rolls her eyes and removed his hands [Link]

thighs, she moves from on top of him and was not
surprised to see the bulge that showed on his
sweatpants.

Nqoba: Okay can I at least spend a night in here

Anesu: It's not happening

She shook her head.

Nqoba: Come on, it's nearly morning I won't even

stay that long. I miss sharing the bed with you and I
just want to hold you
Anesu: All that is done by people who are dating
and you and I aren't so, switch that touch out of
your mind

She turns on the lamp next to her bed and Nqoba

just laid there.

Nqoba: Let's make a deal then

Anesu: I'm listening

Nqoba: Make me something to eat and I will leave

you alone

Anesu: It's...

She checks the time on her phone.

Anesu: It's Three in the morning and we are
approaching four

Nqoba: I was working all night and I'm starving

Anesu: You are blackmailing me now

Nqoba: I'm just asking that you make me something

to eat how is that blackmailing you?

Anesu reads his face and she rolls her eyes, she got
out of the bed and Nqoba smiles looking at the
length of her night dress.

Anesu: Keep your eyes to yourself will you

Nqoba: I will try

Anesu rolls her eyes.

Anesu: Well don't just sit there smiling like an idiot

get up and let's go feed you

Nqoba: Yes ma'am

She rolls her eyes once more and Nqoba rolls her,
he watched her move her ass as she walked.

Anesu: Stop staring at my ass

Nqoba: How can I stop staring when it's the one

calling me to stare at it

Anesu turns around and folds her arms.

Anesu: Walk in front

Nqoba: What?

Anesu: You heard me angithi you are busy staring at

my ass so you go walk in front

Nqoba: No I'm good here

Anesu rolls her eyes and Nqoba laughs at her, they

arrived at the kitchen and Anesu makes him
something simple and easy. He sat there watching
her move around the kitchen and he was smitten.

Nqoba: I can send my uncle's first thing in the

morning and you can be mine in a blink of an eye

Anesu looks at him.

Anesu: Really?

Nqoba: Of course I would

Anesu: But the thing is I don't want to be your wife

Nqoba: Really?

He stood up and Anesu looks at him as he walks to

her direction.

Anesu: Uyaphi?

Nqoba: Uhlanganaphi?

Anesu: Stop being forward Nqoba

Nqoba: I missed you so bad

He stood in front of her and wraps her around her

waist with his face buried on her neck.

Anesu's breathing changes, her chest moving up

and down. She gasped when she felt Nqoba's warm
tongue on her skin and she melts, she stops plating
the food and she tilts her head to the side giving
Nqoba enough excess to suck her neck.

Anesu: Nqoba...

Nqoba: Yes my love

Anesu: Pl...please...

She let's out a whimper while biting her lower lip.

Nqoba: I missed hearing the sound of your begging

Anesu: I'm not...fuck!

She cursed and let's out a moan.

Nqoba groans and moves away from her while he

fixed his sweat pant trying his very best to hide his
erection.

Anesu turns around to look at Nqoba who had red

eyes, she looks down at her sweatpants and back to
his eyes.

Anesu: You should eat

Nqoba nods and be ate the food in silence while
Anesu steals glances at him, once he was done he
washed his own plate and they walked upstairs.

They both walked to Anesu's room and she stops at

the door, she turns to look at him in the eyes with
both her hands pinned on either sides of the door
frame.

Anesu: You journey ends here mister

Nqoba: Does it?

He pulls her by the waist and she slowly nods.

Nqoba: Are you sure?

Anesu nods.
Nqoba: I want to hear you say it

Anesu: I...I...I want you

She wraps her arms around his neck and he pulls

her closer leaning for a kiss, he smashed his lips on
here and he devoured her lips while they stood in
that position. They hungry kissed one another and
Anesu releases a moan making Nqoba groans as his
erection started showing.

Anesu pulls out from the kissing leaving his wanting

for more, she turns around to open the door and
Nqoba follows her inside. He closed the door
behind him and he walks towards Anesu, cups her
face and gave her countless pecks on the lips. She
looks at him in the eyes as he pulls her button lip,
he moves his hands to her ass and gave it a
squeeze.
She released a moan and they share a slow
passionate kiss filled with desirable emotions for
one another, emotions channel their inner sex
demons and Nqoba carries her to the bed.

He lays her gently on the bed and they kissed, the

room was heated with emotions and desire for one
another flying in the air. After a long minute of
kissing one another, they both pull out.

They stare into each other's eyes and just smile,

they cuddle each other to sleep.

CHAPTER 83
NAARATIVE.
The feeling of waking up months arms of the person
you love is the most wonderful feeling ever,
sleeping in the arms of your lover makes all demons
go away. Anesu slept peacefully without
experiencing a single nightmare but it is said that
from all the happiness come stress.

[Loud knock on the door]

Musa: Anesu! Anesu wake up darling

Anesu shoots her eyes open and she looks next to

her only to find Nqoba who was fast asleep.

Anesu: Father? I'm not dressed don't come in

Musa: Okay I'm looking for Nqoba and I was

wondering if you know where he is?
Anesu looks at Nqoba who was slowly opening his
eyes.

Nqoba: Whose making noise so early in the

morning?

He asked and yawns, Anesu covers his mouth.

Anesu: Quite father is at the door

Musa: Anesu? Are you still there?

Anesu: Yes father uhm...I don't know where he is

father I'm sorry

Musa: Okay that weird, come downstairs I have

good news to share with everyone
Anesu: I will be done just give me a few minutes to
freshen up

She shouts.

Musa: Okay I will be waiting, when you find Dube

tell him that he should also join us

Anesu: I will do just that

She heard footsteps and she breaths out, she

removed her hand from Nqoba's mouth.

Nqoba: That was scary

Anesu: If he had found you here...

Nqoba: Relax and come here

He pulls her closer and she got on top of him, he

squeezed her ass and she leans over for a kiss. They
kissed and Nqoba slowly helped her take off her
night-dress. She was only left with her breast and
underwear, she watched his eyes glow and giggles.
She leans over for a kiss, as they kissed she moves
her hand from his chest down to his pants where
she felt his shaft making him groan and pull out
from the kiss.

Nqoba: You are being naughty now

Anesu pouts and pecks him on the lips, he smiles

sitting up straight and he squeezed her breasts

Anesu: You should leave before my father comes

back and finds you here
Nqoba: Let me shower with you

Anesu shook her head.

Anesu: That is not even this close to happening

Nqoba: I have a feeling that I can't change your

mind

Anesu: Well you can try

Nqoba: You sure?

Anesu: Suprise me

Nqoba: Say less

She giggles when she felt his warm tongue on her
nipple which made her whole body shiver, she let's
out a moan as he starts giving her wet kisses as he
moved to her neck

While he kissed her on the neck hi right hands made

it's way inside her underwear where she found
deadly river of her juices, she was wet and ready for
him. He plays with her clit and makes her moan, she
flips her head back as he increased the phase
making her dig her nails on his back.

Anesu: Nqob...ahhh fuck!

She moans and Nqoba let's put a groan.

Anesu: Please...ahhhh...don't stop!

Nqoba: We have to go downstairs remember that

Anesu: I...I...ahhh...fuck that...I want to stay here
with you and do this all day...ahhhh

Nqoba increased his finger movement on her clit

making her cum on his hand, he took it out and
licked it.

She was breathing heavily and looked flushed.

Anesu: Let's stay locked in here

Nqoba: You want your father to murder me

Anesu frowns.

Nqoba: Okay I need to go now, I will see you

downstairs
Anesu: Okay

He pecks her on the lips.

Nqoba: I love you okay?

She remains silent and breaks the silence by

clearing her throat.

Anesu: I will see you downstairs

Nqoba chuckles and climbs out the bed, he walks

out the room and made sure he was not seen. They
freshened up and went downstairs, they arrived
and Msawenkosi looked really happy.

Nqoba: Good morning everyone

Musa: Morning Dube, I was looking for you

Nqoba: You were? I'm sorry I was just busy with

something sir

Musa: Understandable, I have announcements to

make today

Bonisiwe rolls her eyes.

Musa: With the help from the two Dube brothers

I'm am happy to announce that our family company
is now back into the good books, I don't know how
they did it but all I can say is that I appreciate the
work and effort.

Nathi: We were just helping

Nqoba: It's how business works right? We help one
another

Sqalo: These two cleared the law suits that the

company had? What about the unpaid workers?

Nqoba: All paid full price for each check they missed
and on top of that they will be back at work by
tomorrow

Sqalo's jaw drops.

Sqalo: It can't be, who are these people? What if

they are using their demons just like this so called
sister of mine to lure these people to do whatever
they say

Nqoba gave him a deadly stare.

Nqalo: Can I be excused sir? I don't want to end up
harming someone whereas I'm a only here as a
guest

Musa: I'm really sorry for what you just heard?

Sqalo: Is he threatening to kill me? H e would kill

me? Does he know who I am?

Nqalo: Sir?

Musa nods and Nqoba stood up.

Sqalo: Stupid man

He clicks his tongue and Nqoba turned around, he

grabs him by the collar and lifts him up from the
chair he was seated on.
Nqoba: What did you call me?

Nathi: Nqoba put him down

Nqoba: I want him to repeat what he just said to me

and I will show him whose stupid

Sqalo: Since you heard me why do you want me

to...

Nqoba pushed him against the wall and he starts

punching him on the face. Once he was satisfied he
moved away, he smiles a little and kicks Sqalo's leg.

Nqoba looks at Anesu who was not paying attention

to any of the drama but sat there enjoying her food.

CHAPTER 84
ZINATHI DUBE.

It's been three days and I have been visiting Aya at

the hotel, he is slowly recovering and it's actually
nice that with this little time I'm getting to know
him a little bit more. With the short time spent with
him all I can say is that he is a nice person to hang
around, he is easy to talk to and he kind of knows
how to handle my sarcasm and my attitude which I
like.

Most of the people I have met they take me as a

rude person because of my sarcasm but the truth is
that they just don't understand where I come from.
I arrived in front of his hotel room door and I had
takeouts that he asked me to bring for him, I
knocked on the door and he took long to answer.
After almost a life time long of waiting he opens for
me with a towel around his waist, hair and body
stripping wet.

He looks at me and gave me a smile.

Aya: Crackhead

Nathi: You should stop calling me that I'm no crack

head

Aya: You act like one though

He looks at me from head to toe studying my outfit

which was a pair of jeans and a redbet black t-shirt.
He smiles once more and he allows me inside the
room, I placed the takeaways on top of the table
and I sat down on a couch which was opposite his
bed.

It's seems like I arrived at the wrong time, he stood

there drying his hair with a towel and I sat there in
silence. I watched him lotion his body and I didn't
move a single itch as I sat there, he turns around to
face me and squirts his eyes.

I shirt my shoulder.

Nathi: What?

Aya: You are looking at me

Nathi: I'm not

Aya: Can you turn around I can't dress with you
looking at me like that

Nathi: We are both man

Aya: You want to see me naked?

Do I want to see him naked? I clear my throat and

moved uncomfortably on the chair. Why am I
feeling hot all of assuden?

Nathi: That's not what I was implying

Aya: Turn around then

Nathi: Okay
I shrug my shoulder and luckily the couch could
spin, I turned around and faced the other direction.
I took out my phone and I looked at the text I
received from Nqoba about a certain event that will
be taking place tomorrow at the palace and that our
brothers will be arriving this evening.

"That you for the short notice," I text him back and
he sent me an emoji rolling it's eyes, I sent him a
middle finger and he left me on seen.

I raised my head up and my eyes land on the vase

which was almost like a mirror, it showed the
reflection of Ayavuya getting dressed. I looked away
but something inside me told me to look at him
again, he had his back facing me and I could see his
butt cheeks.

I smiled alone.
Nathi: Cute butt

I said out loud for him to hear and the next thing a
pillow is thrown at me, I laughed shaking my head
and I came to join him.

After a few minutes he came to join me while he

wore a pair of sweatpants and baggy shirt.

Aya: You bought everything I asked for?

Nathi: Yes I did

Aya: Wonderful

He takes the takeaways and he took his food.

Nathi: Aren't you forgetting something?

His eyes look up at the roof and he looks back at
me, he shook his head.

Aya: Nope I'm not...wait am I?

I frowned.

Aya: Oh Thank you Nathi

He placed his hand on my on thighs and I felt a

feeling I have never felt before, something in my
body slightly started to rise and I don't know if it
was because of the hand placement but whatever it
was it's making me feel wierd.

I cleared my throat and he saw how uncomfortable

I was and he moves his hand.
Aya: Are you Good?

Nathi: Yeah I'm great I just need a second

He nods and starts eating, I stood up and I went to

the bathroom to cool myself off and I walked out, I
went to join him and we are in silence.

Aya: Nathi can I ask you something?

Nathi: Okay...

I wipe my mouth.

Aya: You don't feel anyway wierd around me right?

Nathi: Should I feel wierd?

Aya: I don't know but...

Nathi: Can you stop asking me these questions

Aya: I'm sorry

He continues eating and once we were done, we

both cleared the table at the same time causing our
hands to slightly touch me and we both looked a t
each other in the eyes.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Nathi: I have to go...

Aya: Oh

He frowns and I stood up, I can't be around him

after all that awkwardness. First it was me feeling
uncomfortable with his hand on my thigh, I don't
know this feeling that I'm feeling. I don't know if I
should love this feeling or not.

I picked up my things without saying a single word

and I approached the door, he stops me.

Aya: You are not leaving because of me right?

Nathi: I really don't know but I need to get out of

here

Aya: Nathi please don't go, I will...I will stop making

you feel uncomfortable and...
I shook my head and grabbed the door handle.

Nathi: Honestly I can't I have to go

Aya: I understand but thank you so much for the

help, it was nice spending time with you even
though it's sad that we had to end our meeting like
this

Nathi: I will see you at the palace right

He nods and I walk out of the hotel room, with the

door shut behind me I let out a breath. I can't
believe I just did that, I'm running away from
another man? A gay man? But I'm not sort of
attracted to him right? Am I? Are you Zinathi? You
can't be fucking Gay though? I mean me? The whole
fuck Boy Zinathi falling in love with another man?
But honestly though he really had a cute butt...argh
why am I thinking of his butt? Fuuucckk! My brother
warned me.

I got inside the uber which took me straight to the

palace, I bumped into Nqoba heading out with
Anesu.

Nqoba: Just the man I was looking for

He came to me.

Nathi: Huh?

Nqoba: I need you to pick up your brothers at the

airport and the ladies, they will be staying here at
the palace

Nathi: Okay I can do that

Nqoba: Great I trust you with this

Anesu: Please be on time at the airport

Nathi: Relax I got this Anesu

She smiles.

Nathi: Wait what is the even about again?

Nqoba: We are trying to get the company

customers, investors and get this business working
again

Nathi: He came up with this idea?

Anesu: Yes he did

Nathi: He is is smart

Anesu: I know

She widely smiles and she walks to the car, she got
inside and Nqoba smiles.

Nathi: Are you two back together now?

Nqoba: We aren't but we are going to get there, I'm

not going to leave without putting a ring on that
womans finger

Nathi: Can't wait for that moment, you two deserve

each other

Nqoba: We know
I roll my eyes.

Nathi: Brother I have a question

Nqoba: I'm rushing but I can listen to you for a

moment

Nathi: Okay I don't know how I can ask this but

uhm...

Nqoba: Use your words

Nathi: Right uhm...

How do I ask my brother this?

Nqoba: Zinathi I don't have all day

Nathi: Okay look, I have something that's really
concerning. I think I might be interested in uhm...in
uhm...

Nqoba: Interested in What?

I sighed.

Nathi: Another man

I couldn't read his facial expression as if was plain,

he loves doing this. I'm sure he must be freaking out
inside and he just doesn't want me to see it.

Nathi: Say something Nqoba

Nqoba: What do you want me to say?

Nathi: Tell me what to do

Nqoba: You want me to tell you what you have to

do with the feelings you have?

Nathi: Brother I don't know this is scary and I don't

want you to start hating me if I end up...

Nqoba: Wait hate you? Look even if you might be

interested in another man that's none of my
business and even though it's kind of a lot to take in
but yet again it's none of my business. I will never
hate you for that, you are my brother and ad much
as I don't say it that often I Love you

Nathi: Now you sound weird

Nqoba: See why I don't say it, I have to go really

He left me standing and I went inside, I spent

almost five minutes thinking about what I should
do. Maybe I should ignore this feeling but...argh...if I
see him again I don't think I won't be able to ignore
the feeling ever again.

I went to pick up my brothers and their women at

the airport, I sat inside the car while waiting for the
plane to land and finally they arrive.

I step out of the car and leaned on the car as I

watched them step out of the plane.

Nathi: Brothers

Vezo: Asshole
Nathi: I call you this nice and you call me an...fine
you are not getting a hug

Fiso laughs a little.

Nathi: Fiso...

He snaps his fingers and placed one hand on his hip.

Fiso: You are crazy, come here I missed you

Nathi: I know I know I'm contagious

He smiles looking at Mwandle and Ntethe.

Nathi: Sister in laws

Mwandle&Ntethe: Hey Nathi

Nathi: Are you Good? Are they treating you Good?

Nkanyezi: Well as you can see

Mwandle: He is treating me real good

He looks at Vezo who bites his lower lip and I just

wanted to unsee all that.

Nathi: Okay we should leave as in like ASAP

Fiso and Must be laughed walking to the cars.

CHAPTER 85
NARRATIVE.

[THE DAY OF THE EVENT]

The palace filled with business men and women

[Link] different nations, Kings and Queens
who heard about the event which the Aside
company will be holding in order to adverse their
business to other business companies who might be
interested to work with the Zwides. Anesu was
seated in the room with the documents her father
had handed her for behind the CEO of the country,
she saw the benefits of everything but she knew
that with all those benefits there will be sacrifices.

She will have to stay here in Zimbabwe for the

longest time in order to fulfil the business, she kept
on clicking the pen with hesitation and she sighs
deeply. She clicks the pen once more and she
hesitates on signing the document, she looks at the
documents and thought about it once more.

Anesu: I can't...

The door opens and Nqoba walks in, he was dressed

in a different suit. It was an Italian black tuxedo
shipped from Italy and he looks at Anesu with a
smile creeping onto his face.

Nqoba: Are you busy?

Anesu: Kinda what do you need?

Nqoba: You father wants you to come downstairs

he wants to announce something that involves you I
think, yeah that is what he said

Anesu: Shit!
Nqoba: Is everything okay?

Anesu: My father is about to announce to all those

people put there that he will be making me the CEO
of both our family companies and I don't knowing I
really want to be the CEO because that means I will
have to stay here permanently

Nqoba: You are not coming back

Anesu: Why would I come back? I mean I do have

friends there and people I care about but again my
family needs me

Nqoba: What about us?

Anesu: There is now us Nqobuthando we broke up

remember?
Nqoba: I thought we were good and...

Anesu: You thought wrong it was just a moment of

weakness, everything meant nothing. I'm not about
to throw away what happens to be my future
because I want to be with a man who lied to me and
made me look stupid in front of a lot of people.

Nqoba: You will never forgive me now will you?

Silence.

Nqoba: You are going to keep on bringing this up

everytime as an excuse, I have been trying to show
you how much I'm willing to fix this relationship of
our but because of your stupid trust issues and
selfishness...
She interrupts him.

Anesu: You are calling me selfish for putting my

feeling first? Are you hearing yourself?

Nqoba: I am hearing yourself Nqoba, I don't want to

leave something that might actually build the future
for me for you to just make me look stupid...I don't
want to be with a person who doesn't respect me
and value my feelings

Nqoba: A person who doesn't...Anesu for goodness

sakes I love you, I love you, I love you, I love
you...I'm not perfect but I'm trying my level best to
be perfect for you, I'm a person and it's normal to
make mistakes in order for me to learn a lesson and
trust me I have learnt my lesson. I have spent days
without you, I have spent days not seeing you, not
touching you, missing the way you smell and how
you roll your eyes when I annoy you and you have
nothing left to say to support yourself...Anesu...

I sighed.

Anesu: I don't have time for this okay, I don't I need

to go downstairs and talk to my father before he
announces without hearing my answer

Nqoba: Here you go running again, run that's what

you Good at, you can't face this...you can't face us
which is why this whole thing keeps falling apart,
you are undecided and...

Anesu: I'm scared Nqoba and...

Nqoba held himself from uttering something he was

going to regret, he clocks hi tongue and walks out
slamming the door behind him. Anesu let's out and
loud scream then she fans her face with the file
trying to dry her tears.

She walks to the door and breaths out, she walks

out and when sat her foot out of the room he
shoulders started to feel heavy as she felt darkness
roaming around inside the walls of the palace.

She felt as if someone was watching her, she felt

this dark energy but she could not tell where it was
coming from. She walks down the stairs and her
father's eyes land on her, he smiles widely as he
told everyone...

Musa: Now that's my daughter

Anesu: Hey Dad...

Musa: I have been looking for you but I'm glad
Nqoba told you to come down, we have an
announcement to make

Anesu: About that announcement...

She watches as Nqoba walks past them while

gulping down a glass of whiskey with one hand on
his pocket.

Anesu: Can we talk about this in private, please

Musa: Are you okay?

Anesu: I am okay it's just that I want us to talk

that's all

Musa: Excuse me gentleman I will be right back just

a moment
He walks upstairs with Anesu and went to his study,
he closed the door and Anesu kept panicking with
her palms sweating.

Anesu: Dad I know you gave me this opportunity

with a kind heart but yet again, I really have things
to consider. I have a life and I can't just stay here,
despite this family needing me. I feel like I have
done enough and I just need to start something of
my own, something with my name and something
that I can be proud for which is why...

Musa: You can't be CEO?

Anesu: Yes I'm really sorry though for giving you

false hope

Musa: I more then understand sweetheart

Anesu: Thank you baba

Musa: Even though it's going to be hard to let you

go I have to...

He froze and his eyes roll to the back of his head, his
eyes turn completely white and then the next thing
he collups to the floor. I gasped and I rushed down
to see what had happened to him but I stopped
when I saw familiar person standing right in front of
me.

" He really does have to let you go encase that's the

last time he will ever see you," a dark skinned tall
man with dark eyes stood there dressed in all black.

Anesu: Who...who are you?

"Your sister asked me the same me the same thing
but I told her that she shouldn't ask as to who I am
but she should ask what I am."

Anesu: Wait wait did you just say my sister? What

does Mwandle have to do with this? I swear of you
do anything to her I will murder you with my very
own hands

He shook his head.

"I meant the sister your father had been hiding

from this family for the longest of time but you will
find out who I'm talking about because you are the
last ingredient to my recipe."

Anesu: I'm not going to ask you again, who are you?
"I'm your worst nightmare," he waved his hand in
front of her face and everything because blank, dark
and she colours next to her father.

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 86
NARRATIVE.

The event had to end early after the king was found
laying on the floor not responding when they tried
to wake him up, the royal seer told everyone that
there someone walking in the path of darkness was
present in the room. As stood in the room unaware
of what to do next, Nqoba noticed the necklace
Anesu was wearing this evening in the floor.

He picks up and he waved it on the air.

Nqoba: This is Anesu's necklace

Fiso: Do you think she was here?

Nqoba: She was here, I saw him walk upstairs with

her and that's the last one I saw her

Vezo: What does this mean?

Nqoba: Fuck she was taken...

He sat down on the chair and starts panicking.

Mwandle: What do you mean she was taken?

Where is my sister?

Nathi: As you can see we are all trying to find out

Vezo: Don't talk to her like that

Nathi: How did I talk to her, I just told her the truth
in the most kindest way

He rolls his eyes.

The people at the palace went searching for the

princess, Bonisiwe praying that they don't find her.
Sqalo praying that she is found dead or crazy so she
can give them piece.

...

Anesu woke up with a very painful headache, she

looks around and when she was trying to get up she
noticed that she was chained. She quickly snaps
back into reality as she saw herself chained in the
middle of a large circle of black candles and heads
of dead cows and animals, a large skeleton of a
monkey and in front of her she saw Nkanyezi
chained on the wall with good dripping on her body.

Anesu: Nkanyezi....

Nkanyezi: Help me

She says weakly.

Anesu: What are you doing here?

Nkanyezi: I don't know but I want to be out of here,

that man is a monster, he is a psycho and he wants
to kill me
She starts shaking went the strange man walks
inside the cave dressed a black robe, He looks at
Anesu with a wide yet scary smile on his face.

"Well well well look what we have here, now this is

going to be nice."

Anesu: Get these chains off me

"Not so fast water princess."

Nkanyezi: You promised me that you would let me

go

"Let you go?..."

He laughs and Nkanyezi cries.

"This is going to be a long night."

Anesu: You are going to take these chains off me or

you will regret keeping me here

"Regretting is something that will never happen, I

have been waiting for the longest time for this
moment. I have waited for a long time to see the
famous princess who my people have been crying
about the woman who holds the powers I need, I
will sacrifice your sister and marry you which will
make me the most powerful man to ever live in this
planet."

Nkanyezi: Sacrifice? No no no please don't...

"Silence!"
Anesu: My family will come find me and I will burn
you down with this cave

"Did you burn me down with this cave in your

dream?"

Silence.

"You saw everything but you were stupid enough to

think of it as a dream now you are here."

Anesu: What is she doing here?

"She is your sister."

Nkanyezi: You are crazy she's not my sister

Anesu: I would rather die

The man laughs.

"I guess I have to take you down to memory lane

and lay everything down for you for better
understanding, Nkanyezi grew up raised by a fake
father and her mother never told her how she
actually came into this world. Well listen, As almost
everyone in this village knows that your father is a
man whore and can't keep his pants up. While he
was in a relationship with his current wife he
cheated on her with your mother Nkanyezi and you
were conceived but when your mother wanted to
tell your father a bombshell was dropped on her
face when he told her that he should forget about
her, forget that anything ever happened between
them and that's why your mother left him found a
man to pin the pregnancy on and that's how you
became Nkanyezi Ngubane but your real surname is
Zwide," he smiles widely.
Anesu: You are sick, this woman cannot be my sister
you just be mistaken

"I'm not mistaken she is your sister."

Anesu: After this long time she abused me and

treated me As if I was...She called me name and
after experiencing all that you tell me that she and I
share the same surname and father?

She scoffs and Nkanyezi was crying.

Anesu: That is why you kidnapped the both of us?

You want to use us as your Sacrifice?

"You are correct and by the time your so called

family finds out you will be dead and I will yield
power of eternal life."
Anesu: There is no such thing as eternal life

She laughs.

"I have talked to much, I need to start."

He went to take a bowl and filled it with a lot of

herbs, he came back with a knife and he starts
chanting as he approached me. He looks at me and
smiles widely approaching Nkanyezi.

"I will start with you blood has to spill, any last
words?"

Nkanyezi looks at Anesu with tears streaming down

her cheeks.

Nkanyezi: Anesu I'm really sorry for all the bad

things I have ever done to you, I'm sorry for stealing
your shirt and using dark magic on you to make
Nqoba hate you, I did not like that he was starting
to love you more then me. He looked at you in a
different way and that pissed me off because I did
not want to lose him, he had been together for the
longest time and losing him was going to break him.

Anesu: So you were behind him hating me?

Nkanyezi: I'm sorry Anesu if I had know that you

were my sister I wouldn't have done all that I did I
swear and uhm...Nqoba Did not get Gugu pregnant,
I planned it and I thought that it would...

Anesu: You planned it?

She half way got up from the floor and she stood on
her knees.
Anesu: You made me go through all that after I kept
on thinking of your feelings and you did not even
think of mine, do you know how many times I had
to tell Nqoba to consider your feelings and forget
about me kanti you...you are...you know what fuck
you, fuck you, you ruined the only thing that meant
my happiness

Nkanyezi: I'm sorry please forgive me

Anesu looks at Nkanyezi with anger in her eyes.

"Are you two done?"

Nkanyezi: I'm sorry

She mumbles and in a second her head was

chopped off making Anesu scream, her screams
echoed the cave and she closed her eyes as she
trembled with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Anesu: Please please please...

She cries and it's starts raining outside.

"I will feed these to my animals and then start with

the ceremony for our dark wedding and I will feed
you to my animals and all shall be well," he does an
evil laugh and that scared the crap out of Anesu.

She was breathing in an uncontrollable way and she

closed her eyes trying to calm herself, she tries to
use her powers but failed.

Anesu: Why can't I...

"You can't use your powers here there's no way of
stopping me."

She starts crying and the man did not care, he

continued with the ceremony. He took the blood
that belongs to Nkanyezi and he pours it all over
Anesu, he steps into the circle with a knife in hand.
He held Anesus hand and he slits the palm of her
hand, blood comes out and he smiles widely.

Anesu: You are going to burn in hell

"Hell is home."

He smiles.

"As we join our blood we bind our soul into one."

He slits his hand also and he squeezed Anesu's hand
on his, he looks at her as her eyes roll to the back of
her head and she starts shaking.

He starts chanting and wind started blowing in great

force, Nqoba barges into the cave followed by his
brothers. He hand a gun in his hand and when he
saw Anesu shaking, he shot the strange man on his
back countless times but the bullet did not go
through.

Vezo: Don't just stand there save her

Nqoba: I can't step inside the cross, I don't have the

same powers as her. I might die and if I stand here
she might die, I don't want that to happen

Fiso: You know what let's...let's...fuck I don't know

Nqoba: Fuck this I'm going inside the circle

Nathi: Nqoba don't...

Nqoba ran into the circle and then minute he

stepped inside the circle he felt as if he was getting
drained, he took a knife out and when he aimed for
the strange man head he shoots his eyes open and
before he could even stab him he do it first,
Nqoba's eyes widen as he could not believe that the
strange man was quick enough to stab him.

Nqoba: Fuck!

Vezo: Nqoba!!

He shouts and blood starts coming out of Nqoba's

mouth, he coughs out blood.
"You are not suppose to be here, how did you get
here?"

Nqoba: That...that does not matter

"It doesn't matter for real because you are too late,
she's mine now."

Nqoba: In your dreams

He took out some powder from his pocket which

the royal seer gave him in order to help him fight
the dark magic, the man screams in agony as he
held him face moving away from Anesu.

She drops down on the ground still shaking and

Nqoba fell right next to her, his eyes slowly closing.
Nqoba: I...I love you and I'm sorry for not being
good to ...*coughs* You

He closed his eyes and the candles stop buring, the

brothers look at one another and they step inside
the circle since it was now safe.

Nathi: Nqoba wake up....

Fiso: Anesu, Anesu

He shook her but she was just quite and she looks
at his brother.

Fiso: she's not responding

Vezo: We need to get them out of here and rush

Nqoba to the hospital
"You boys ruined everything," the strange man said
getting up with skin peeling off his face, he looked
angry and ugly at the same time.

"You boys ruined everything for me, you don't know

who you are messing with. I'm going to kill you all,
nobody is leaving this cave i will..."

Anesu shoots her eyes open.

Anesu: What happened...Vezo...Ohh Fiso it's you,

what are you doing here?

She sat up straight and her heart skips a best when

she saw Nqoba laying there with a knife on his
stomach.

Anesu: Nqoba? What happened to him?

She pushed Fiso to the side and rushed to Nqoba,
she held his cheeks and shook him.

Anesu: Nqoba you can't die...you can't die...WHO

DID THIS?

She shouts and looks at the brothers then her eyes

land on the strange man, she stood up and
approached man.

"Anesu you don't want to do this."

Anesu: I told you I would burn you down in this cave

of yours

"You can't use fire, you are a water goddess."

Anesu: I warned you to let me go, I begged you to
stop but you did not listen. Now you just killed the
person whom I love, do you know how much he
means to me? Do you know? I don't think you do

She held his clothing and looked deep into his eyes,
she concentrated into his eyes and the more she did
that that's when he started screaming as if he was
being hurt. He shouts as his skin started to perish
and after a few minutes his robe fell on the floor
with his ashes on the floor.

Nathi: I don't mean to disturb your powerful

moment but my brother needs a hospital

Anesu: He doesn't, we need to take him to the royal

seer he will know what to do

Vezo: He has a knife in his stomach

Anesu: A knife used for dark magic, he might still be
alive so let's ask less question and let's starts
moving.

DESTINEDSOULS
CHAPTER 87
NARRATIVE.

They arrived at the palace and they quickly took

Nqoba to the randovel, the royal seer looks at
Nqoba's body and his eyes were more glued on the
knife in his stomach.

" This is really bad," he says with a worried facial

expression
Anesu: What do you mean it's bed? You can save
him right?

Silence.

Anesu: You can save him right?

She shouts with tears blinding her vision.

"It's to late, we can't save him."

Anesu starts wailing as if she was looking her mind,

she shook her head wiping her tears.

Anesu: No no no you can't tell me that, you are the

most power royal seer and my family ancestors
entrusted you to take care of this family. You can't
let him die....

"He is already in the lands of the dead."

Anesu: He isn't, he is alive and he will come back to

me

"I'm sorry my princess."

Anesu: Don't apologise, I WANT YOU TO BRING HIM

BACK!

She shouts and it starts pouring rain outside.

"Princess you know that tour tears and anger can

flood the whole village and I'm sure you don't want
that to happen."
Anesu: Okay use tour herbs make me drink
something that will take me to the land of the dead
and I will bring him back myself

"I can't do that my princess, once you go there they

won't allow you to come back. I can't risk your life."

Anesu: Then find a way of being him back to me, I

need him back he can't die

Musa had enough.

Musa: Okay Anesu that's enough

Anesu: Don't touch me, You do

something...think...think
She looks at the royal seer with desperation written
all over her face

"There is a way but I'm not sure that what you

want."

Anesu: What I want is to have him back

"I can bring him back but in order for that to fully
happen, you have to marry him traditionally."

The room filled with silence.

Anesu: I will marry him, I will do whatever let's get

this done

Musa: Sweetheart are you sure

Anesu: I'm more then sure, let's bring his back

"Okay then, we are going to need a cows call

bladder so you mean should go out there and
slaughter a fan cow."

Vezo: Fiso and Nathi let's go

Nathi: I can't slaughter a cow

Everyone in the room turned to look at him.

Nathi: On second thoughts I'm a professional when

it comes to slaughtering cows, let's go

They left the Sandoval, the guys went to the kraal

and they picture a white cow with no spots. It was
slaughted and they took out the 'inyongo'. Inside
the randovel the royal seer was performing the
ritual pleeding with the ancestors to bring Nqoba
back to the land of the living.

The king walks in with the inyongo from the cow

and they pouted it on both Anesu and Nqoba, the
royal seer was able to also connect with the Dube
ancestors. He introduced Nqoba to the zwide
ancestors and begged that they protect him and
bring him back, he also introduced Anesu to the
Dube ancestors with the help of the brothers who
assisting in the ceremony.

"I don't know if this is going to work but I hope it

does," the royal seer said

Fiso: What will we do with the knife?

Anesu: I will remove it and heal him

She approached him and she slowly removed the
knife from his stomach which she cried as it was a
sight hard for him to handle, once the knife was
removed she went on and need him.

" let's give him about a week to recover."

Anesu: He will wake up right?

"Let's pray and hope he does, we just did something

unthinkable but we had no choice but I'm sure the
ancestors will understand."

DESTINED SOULS
CHAPTER 88
NARRATIVE.
[A week later]

It's been a week and for the past seven days Anesu
has been constantly visiting Nqoba in his room since
he was moved out of the Sandoval, he was suppose
to have made progress by now but by the look of
things they just seemed to loose hope.

She stood by the balcony of his room watching the

busy village which she could see as she stood there,
she breaths out and plays with the cattle skin
bangle she got from the sudden traditional wedding
she had to go through in order to save the man he
love.

So this technically and traditionally makes her Mrs

Dube, she laughs at herself and shook her head. As
she stood there inside the room, Nqoba slowly got
up from the bed and sat up straight. He was
surprised to see himself inside the room because
the last time he was at the cave trying to save the
woman whom he loves with all his heart.

He got out from the bed and he noticed the the

sliding door to the balcony was open, he got up and
walked towards to door which was opened.

That's when she saw Anesu standing there dressed

in a knee left black dress, looked deep in her
thoughts. She seemed to be crying and Nqoba just
stood there with a smile on his face.

Nqoba: Shedding tears for me baby girl?

He softly said and Anesu truns quickly not believing

that she just heard the voice that she has been
hearing to hear all along.
She did not waste any time, she ran to his direction
and gave him a tight hug making him smile.

Anesu: You are alive

Nqoba: Breathing and healthy

Anesu: I thought I lost you

Nqoba: I thought I had lost you too

She pulls out from the hug.

Nqoba: Wait what happened?

Anesu: You almost died

Nqoba: I did? How am I still stand there because as
far I remember I was stabbed and the next I don't
recall

Anesu: We did a little something to save your life

Nqoba: You did what?

She looks into his eyes and gained the courage.

Anesu: We had to get married traditionally

Nqoba: What?

Anesu: Yes

Nqoba: Wait what?

Anesu: We had to get fast Nqoba and I wasn't ready
to lose you

Nqoba: Right after we fought?

Anesu: About that I wanted to apologise, I did not

mean those harsh words I said to you

Nqoba: I didn't mean the words I said either

Anesu: I'm sorry Nqoba

Nqoba: It's the past now

They looked at each other and Nqoba smiles.

Nqoba: So I had to be losing my life in order for you

to marry me?
Anesu: Not entirely but I wasn't just going to let you
die Nqoba, you are important to me...

Nqoba: You can do better then that

Anesu rolls her eyes and smiles wrapping her arms

around his neck.

Anesu: What I'm trying to say is that I love you

Nqobuthando

Nqoba: So I really had to be dying in order for you

to...

Anesu: Come on now don't be like that

Nqoba: I'm just kidding, no back and forth this time

Anesu: No lies also

Nqoba: No lies

Anesu: So before that I have to tell you something,

Nkanyezi is...well was my sister

Nqoba: What the hack?

Anesu: Yes I know it's sounds wierd

Nqoba: That's uncalled for

Anesu: I know

Nqoba: I have a surprise for you

Anesu: Really? Are you sure you just woke up and I
think I should notify everyone

Nqoba: My surprise first and then we can notify

everyone

Anesu: Okay it seems important

He held her hands and directs her to the room, he

made her stand in the middle of the room.

Anesu: Okay this is wierd

Nqoba: I know but stand there

Anesu: Okay I'm standing

Nqoba went to the wardrobe where he took out the
bag he came with, it seems like he was looking for
something.

Nqoba: Now where did I place you? You there you

are...

He smiles taking out a small box which Anesu did

not see of course, he walks with the box in his hand
and he smiles looking at Anesu who was clueless as
to what was about to happen.

Nqoba: I have been having this question in my mind

but I was just wondering as to how I will ask you, I
have seen though that the world decided to make
the decision for us before I could actually ask
properly...

Anesu: What are you doing?

Nqoba: MaZwide, Sthandwa Sami I'm a man of a
few words. I came all this way with a plan of making
you mine, I came here with mindset that I would
not leave till I got down on my knees and asked you
to be my wife. Well it seemed that the universe
planned ahead of us but here I am now...

He got down on his knees.

Nqalo: Anesu Zesuliwe Zwide, you taught me how

to love. You loved me when I was hard to love, I was
patient with you and gave you my all, I was there
for you when you needed and me and you where
there for me when i needed you. I used to laugh at
my mother when she tell me about the love she has
for my father as if she was stupid but I never knew
that I would be the one telling her about the
woman I happen to have fallen in love with, Today
I'm standing before you with this ring in hand and
one knee on the ground.
He smiles and Anesu was already crying.

Nqoba: Stop crying

Anesu laughs and wipes her years nodding.

Anesu: But this is so beautiful

Nqoba laughs a little.

Nqoba: MaZwide Sami, will you make me the

happiest man to work on this planet by allow me to
shower you with happiness for the rest of your life,
will you marry me Sthandwa Sami

Anesu: Yes yes yes I will marry you even though we

are already married but yes
Nqoba slides the diamond ring into her finger and
he got up then kissed her, they shared a passionate
kiss tangled with a lots of emotions.

Nqoba pulls out from the kiss.

Nqoba: I love you

Anesu: I love you more

[A MONTH LATER]

It was after the wedding and they were having their

first dance, she looked happy and so did the family
members. They danced to the song till it was over
and the crowd clapped for them as they went to
their seats, they sat down and Anesu stood up to
make a toast.

Anesu: I would like to thank everyone for joining us

to celebrate this lovely day, I would like to thank my
husband for making me the happiest woman and
honestly Nzwakele it's an honour to be your wife. I
have never thought that I would actually find myself
standing in front of y'all in this wedding gown and
wearing a ring and sharing the same surname with
this handsome face over here

Nqoba: That's me everyone

Nathi: We know that

He shouts and Nqoba gave him a dead stare.

Anesu: Don't bully my husband Nathi....okay Okay I
want going to take long, I have a gift for my lovely
husband and I think you are going to love it

She took out a thin small box which was wrapped in

pink cover, he took the box.

Nqoba: What is this?

Anesu: open it and find out

Nqoba opens the present and his jaw drops.

Nqoba: Is this what I think it is?

Anesu Nods.

Nqoba: Don't lie to me

Anesu: Oh come on

Nqoba: I'm going to be a father?

Anesu: Yes you are going to be a...

Before she could even finish the sentence he stood

up and went to embrace her, she started crying as
he hugged her and continuously thanked her.

Nqoba: Thank you baby, thank you so much my

love. You do not know how much this means to me,
thank you MaDube I will make sure to be with you
every step of the way.

He pulls out from the hug and pecks her on the lips.
He looks at her in the eyes.

Nqoba: I'm going to be a dad

He shouts and everyone cheers for them both, but

I'm sorry to say this.
