Yammy: Good morning family!
Them: Morning.
Yammy: Where's everyone else?
Its just our parents as well as my aunt.
After some time, we hear some people giggling till Anzo comes into view, holding Nokhuthula bridal style.
Awww these two lovebirds!
He comes towards the table and places her on her chair. He then comes around and kisses me on my cheek, then does the same with mom, and shakes dad's hand. He tries to kiss MaVilakazi but she stops him.
MaVilakazi: Yeyi! Don't you dare! I had to listen to you guys going at it the entire night, please don't come close until you bath at least. Nx I mean I get it, yeses back in the day while we still living in Italy, there was this fine gentleman by the name of Alessandro, oh did that man not make me scream my lungs out every night. Lord have mercy but that man...
Dad clears his throat while we stare at her in shock.
The table goes silent.
We then burst out in laughter while Nokhuthula looks uneasy.
Anzo tries to hold her hand but she quickly let's go.
Anzo: Ah aunty do you see now, my woman won't even let me touch her.
MaVilakazi: I'm so sorry honey I'm only joking.
Yammy: Let me go check on the rest.
I first walk to Nomvelos room and stand in front of her rooms door. I bang once on the door then whisper/yell...
Yammy: Yow i swear to god if yall don't come out this fucken room in about 0.3 seconds...
Suddenly the door opens and Thabo comes out looking guilty as fuck.
I start pushing him and throwing tiny fists at him.
Yammy:You FOOL!
I whisper/yell.
Thabo: The fuck are you doing banging the door in my room.
Yammy: The fuck? Excuse you! This is Nomvelos room!
I slap him on his head.
He holds his head.
Thabo: Shit.
Yammy: Yeah shit jou moer! Gaan uit jou bloody fool. (Get out!)
He runs to his room while I go inside Nomvelos room.
I walk in and close the door and breathe out.
I keep quiet.
Few seconds later she starts laughing and I join her.
Nomvelo: I'm so sorry.
Yammy: It's okay, I didn't think you had it in you.

The next day we all wake up bright and early in order to get ready for Nomvelos graduation.
