Stolen Heart

Chapter 30

***Khensani's POV

So we were now in KZN but in Makazi's house , KwaMashu because momma had to speak yo dad first and prepare him well that's what she said. We were in the lounge with my twin brother watching TV when we heard mom's voice.

Mom : "I have a huuuge surprise for you Sakhe." I look at Yanga , just then she wslks in with a man. They both sit down after greeting us.

Yanga : "Dad! You never call me anymore."

Mom : "Yima wena. Sakhe look at the girl next to your son."  I frown. He looks at me.

Sakhe : "Hawemahh!"  He exclaims covering his face , mom rubs his back. The man stands up and crouches in front of me holding my face.

Sakhe : "Is she..aibo! Thandeka , is she who I think it is?"  Mom nods with a big grin. He moves Yanga next to me and lays me on his chest. He keeps brushing my hair as mom tells him how they found me and how I grew up.

Sakhe : "I'm sorry you had to go through all of that babygirl."  I press my lips together and nod. He continues asking questions about me and I'm happy that he is. Mom makes lunch and we sit eating together.

Me : "Your name is Sakhe?"  He chuckles.

Sakhe : "Only my wife calls me that?"

Me : "You don't mean wives?"  Mom and Yanga laugh while He looks at me shocked.

Sakhe : "Uhm...no. I mean your mother."  I nod.

Me : "Okay. How many more siblings do I have?"

Yanga : "Dad will answer that."  I look at dad.

Sakhe : "Uhm only one. It's your big brother Siyanda."  I nod.

Mom : "You have to go before it gets dark."  He looks at mom pleadingly.

Sakhe : "Please sthandwa sami. I missed you and I've just gotten to know my daughter. Can we atleast book a BnB?" 

Mom : "No Sakhe. We are heading to eHlomohlomo on Friday anyway so you'll see me , us."

Sakhe : "Tonight kuphela ke please."

Mom : "You have a whole Kingdom waiting for you."

Sakhe : "I don't care about it mina Thandeka and I'm thinking of stepping down because it's been nothing but a curse to our love."  Mom shrugs.

Mom : "Do whatever Sizwe , I don't care."  She then walks out. I look at Yanga and he is lpoking at Sakhe.

Me : "Sakhe , where's your family?" He chuckles.

Sakhe : "Call me baba. My family is in KwaMakhutha , I haven't seen them for like ten years."

Me : "Aibo why?"

Sakhe : "Family disputes." I nod.

Me : "How come you became king of another village that your family doesn't have history in?"  He keeps quiet for sometime.

Sakhe : "I don't know my child but I guess it's luck."  I nod.

Me : "Ohh okay."

Sakhe : "I better get going before it gets dark." He bids goodbye to us and mom then leaves. My phone rings and I answer without checking the caller id.
