Chapter 88: Untitled chapter
I mean, they are married of cause they'll fuck and have kids.
She spoke and spoke, I have literally just known so much about her family in just a short amount of time. She is a radio, that's all I can say. She moves from this topic to the next, if you don't listen attentively you'll be so lost. Worst of all, she speaks really fast.
Emilia: Oh sorry, guys I told you I speak alot so forgive me.
Faith: No don't apologize. We're still just amazed that's all.
Emilia: Anyways, you'll get used to me. Let me take you to a very breathtaking place here, my father took me there and he told me its a very soothing place. I've been addicted to it since then.
Me: Can it be our last stop? I'm so tired
We've been travelling around Langelihle and it was still just half of it. We had just a few hours till dinner and she took us to a small mountain near the lake.
Emilia: Take off your shoes or you'll slip and fall.
We took off our shoes and walked there. She was right, it is such a beautiful calm and cool place. I stood there and the tears just fell. I didn't speak nor even think alot, they just came out. I sat down and let them be. There's something about this place that screams natural healing.
Emilia: Is she okay? She's crying
Faith: Let her be, she needs this. Shes been through alot.
They remained silent and I closed my eyes for a while. I let go of all the pain and all the weight that was on my shoulders. Mostly, I let go of all the false hope I had about Kelvin accepting our child. I forgave him and forgave myself. I made a vow to be the best mother I can be to my child and be the best version of me. After all else has failed, I have come out with a great gift from God. Being with Kelvin was one of the best experiences of my life which I will forever treasure in my life. I learnt alot about him and about myself. I realized my greatest capabilities and grew not only emotionally and mentally but intellectually as well. I gained wisdom and strength. Our break up, that has been the biggest lesson of all. I will stand and walk tall, with my head held high and be the best version of me.
Me: We can go
Simi: We were about to wake you up, we thought you've fallen asleep.
I laughed at them and we headed back to the house.
Emilia: I have to wear the royal attire again. Let me shower
She knows her way around the house, we all went to our separate rooms and I checked on my phone first. I had missed calls from Mike, I called him
Me: Mike
Mike: I've been calling you, I wanted to check up on you. How are you doing?
Me: I'm great hey, I've been busy all day so I didn't pay much attention to my phone. How are you doing?
Mike: I'm fine. I've decided to focus on Brenda, Kendra doesnt want me, she made that clear so I'll focus on Brenda.
Me: Wadla fish boh. Just stop toying with Brenda's feelings. You treating her like a second option.
Mike: I realize what I've been doing is wrong and I apologized. She's just been acting different today but I guess she's still angry.
Me: I called her earlier and she was happy
Mike: Too happy for my liking, I'm not the reason for that happiness and that's not a good thing.
Me: Do you hear how crazy sound? Are you listening to yourself Mike? Cha you Zee men must think you own the world.
Mike: Don't get personal
Me: Don't get personal? You seriously think Brenda's happiness depends on you? Only she can control and have an impact on her own happiness. She can create her own happiness, she can be happy with or without you. You should be grateful that she's happy and not burning your stupid ass. Don't take advantage of her sweet heart. And if you're just with her because you're licking your wounds, leave that relationship before its too late. Leave before someone gets hurt. Bye Mike
I ended the call and went to take a bath. I wore a royal blue dress, it was causal but formal as well with black pencil heels. Didn't put any make up on and put a short fringe weave and carried a clutch bag.
Simi: We've been waiting for you, you took your own time
Me: Sorry ladies.
We went outside, Faith locked up. There were many black SUVs waiting for us and we were ushered into different cars. I greeted my driver and sat down and scrolled on my phone looking on social media platforms. We were travelling in a convoy, I got a text from Simi " I feel like I'm some sort of royal princess" I laughed at it and didn't reply. It did feel like we're some important high class royalty. The car stopped and the driver went out. Oh my word? He opened the door for me and put his hand out for me to hold. When I came out, he took my bag and gave it to a maiden behind me and held my hand as I walked towards where the family was standing. This is life I tell you! The smile on Simi's face! Priceless.
Her smile was not as priceless the smile the old but not so old man infront of me had.
"If I was still young and fresh and had to get married. I would marry you beautiful dark african girl. What a beautiful black child."- He said as he kissed my hand. The woman next to him smacked his hand and laughed, I figured she is his wife. Naye was standing next to Simi, she's more beautiful each time I see her
Naye: I'm glad you've joined us. I hope Emilia didn't overwhelm you with her forvever talking self.
Faith: She was a great tour guide, we really enjoyed her presence.
Simi: I must say, you have a very beautiful land. Langelihle had been nothing but great to us so far.
Me: We will indeed enjoy our stay here. It's a beautiful place to be.
Naye: We could stand here all day and chat because the stories never end. Let's go inside please.
We went inside and the King was sitting on his throne. We all bowed down and they said some praises
King: You may rise
Naye went to stand next to him.
King: Welcome to Langelihle my daughters.
Us: Thank you my King.
The Queen introduced us to everyone that was there, it was their kids, the kings parents, his brother Prince Manley and his wife who is Nayes cousin. Two of their friends who introduced themselves as Nasi and Belinda with their husbands.
