8 months later…Today is the first day of our final exams.What a year it has been. I should actually write exams on all the drama that has happened. But Molise and I are in a good place. I’m actually glad that I came out here. I’m glad that I decided that my marriage was worth the chance he asked me to give him. He’s such a hands-on father and such a “within-the-feelings” husband. Exams are honestly so stressful! Yoh! But I must...
My parents and I have just arrived here at the royal house to see Rena. We heard that she’s back. Plus, all the Mohales live here now. She’s not even talking to me, but I brought flowers and a gift. I’m hoping that she will forgive me nyana. “Is Khotso okay?” I hear my mom ask my dad as we walk towards the door. “Ey, he’s been hectic lately. Between this thing with Legoa and everything that’s going on with Rena, I...
“I’ve brought you some tea. Carol will bring your lunch in the next thirty minutes. I thought I’d bring you some tea before I went to take a nap”, I say to my new husband. Yes, my new husband.My family killed Tumelo. I lost my baby. Then the very next week, lobola was paid for me. The week after that, I was married off to this family… the Raborife family. I’m married to their only son, Bokang. He’s not royalty...
“Why does my house look like this?” My dad says. It’s 6am. Where is he going? I was going to clean up before breakfast. He’s already wearing a tracksuit and a beanie looking super shady. “Papa, I’m working”, I say. My mom comes down the stairs in a lingerie gown. These two probably just had sex. They can never get enough of each other. “Ruri Seete! And then?!” My mom. “Guys! I couldn’t sleep. I’m nervous as hell. So, I worked through the...
Today, I’m going to my mom’s gravesite. I miss her so much. I’ve put enough money away to put a tombstone for her. Reahile helped me find a company to do this properly for me. Reahile wanted to help me pay for the tombstone, but I have to do this alone… for my mother. This is a me thing… a me thing that is for her. He understands and I’m grateful. I let him help me with building the house...
For a very weird reason that I still don’t know, I slept at Mnqobi’s house yesterday. And before you start thinking that I’m weird because he’s my man and he’s been my man for a good six months now… Mnqobi Khuzwayo still lives with his parents! You read right! He has a back room, yes. A whole bachelor pad that has a bedroom, a bathroom, a TV/dining room and a kitchen. But still, he shares a yard with his parents. Today I’m...
We are preparing to head out to Khanya’s housewarming. I should actually say that it is Khanya’s and Ruri’s housewarming party because Ruri had everything to do with the prep, the decor, the invitations and the theme. But she’s not moving in, so it’s just Khanya’s place. It’s an all-white themed party. Yesterday, Wehweh, Ruri and I went to get our hair done. This salon is a branch of a salon owned by Koena Msomi. I knew she had quite...
Bongani is supposed to arrive today. Wehweh promised to give me the room for the weekend so I can just connect with my man. I’ve even applied for leave at work. As I sit in this very boring lecture, I decide to text him so I see where he is. “Hey babe. I cannot wait for you to get here.” No response. In fact, there’s only one tick. I’ll take it he’s in his flight. Thendo decided to ditch her lessons today because she...
Rena is back in the kingdom, so I’m here at her home sleeping over and catching up with her. We slept late last night just chatting away about her travelling, my relationship with Khanya and the drama with Khanya’s mother… then Reahile arrived extremely FURIOUS. He had come to speak to Aunt Phuthi and Uncle Khotso. He was with my parents when he arrived. So obviously, Rena and I eavesdropped on the conversation. We just do that because the...
This week has been normal. Very normal. Just the way that I like my life. I still live like I was born into royalty and there’s nothing I can do about that. But I attended all my lectures. I came home after lectures, studied, was lazy after studying, ate food - chef-cooked food - but I ate… then I slept. I also haven’t heard from Reahile all week and that was a bonus for me. His approach was very...
