Awkward!
Nkanyezi is currently crying and I don't know how to comfort her.
I mean, I can motivate her and stuff but ...Yesh! Accidentally killing a innocent child is no joke.
I also would be traumatised like her infact I think it would be better to put me in a cage and throw away the key after locking it.
It sounded like alot of guilt to live with to be honest, worst part is that she had no knowledge of what was happening.
"I am really sorry Nkanyezi " I try consoling her and I walk towards her and embrace her.
She turns stiff in my arms for a minute, then eventually relaxes.
I comfort her for a good five minutes, until she starts to smile a little and I could she the spark of life in her eyes shinning a little.
Well, I've done my job! Maybe she could help me with my problem?
"Nkanyezi, can I ask you a question?" I ask her nervously
"Yes of course anything "she says with a warm smile on her face. Well that's progress, better this look then the look of sadness.
"This may sound weird but I need to remind myself of a few things" I told her trying to cover up my tracks to ensure that nothing seems suspicious.
"Alright, go ahead". She encourages me.
"Do you know how old I am?" Good question stupid.
"Yes, you are 18 years of age. You know for your beauty, cooking and dancing skill. That is why when the palace sent out a notice for a new concubine to join the Kings harem, father had high hopes for you during to your beauty. People say the Kings harem is filled with beauties so I think you will not look inferior" she said in endearing voice.
Okey I'm flattered that she thinks I'm beautiful but I'm really not looking forward to being a side chick!
"Oh yes of course. Will you be attending the wedding ceremony? " at least I'll have 3 people routing for me rather than just Nomathemba.
"Would you want me too?" She asked shocked.
"Yes of course, we are sisters" daar.
"Oh of course silly me!" She laughed at herself.
Her laugh sounded sad, I guess being invited to things are not a normal for her.
"Well then I better go and get ready, I'll see you....Melo..." she looked like she just committed a crime but you could see the hope in her eyes, hope of a sister relationship, hope of someone who looked at her as being normal.
Sigh
"Alright Yezi" I said absent minded.
I have bigger fish to fry, like figuring out how I can return to my normal life.
So I got kidnapped and failed to escape. The man strangled me till i passed out then I....went to hospital?
Maybe I'm in a comma and this is one of those out bodly experiences where you get to live another life until your out of the comma.
Yes! This must be it. I should just relax and be neutral, soon I'll wake up from the comma and go back.
Okey now that-that's sorted. Let me get ready for this farce wedding.
