I just finished cooking lunch , i was now waiting for Grandma to arrive she's been gone for too long .I kept on analyzing what she said , she told me that I'm coming from royalty then jiki jiki later i bumped into a King can she be telling the truth.. Grandma entered at the door so tired she looked so pale ..

Me :grandma are you okay ?

Grandma :i really feel like I'm going to die soon ..

Me :please gogo don't say that .

Grandma :I'm not lying to you my child that's why you must go back to your people , they need you ..

Me :my people? grandma what are you talking about?

Grandma :16 years ago , your mother got banished from her village because she stood up for herself and told everyone that the prince was molesting her..

Tears rolled down my cheeks ..

Me:*crying* that means I'm a bastard child , i can't believe this .

Grandma :I'm so sorry my child .

Me :i hate myself , i wish I was never born , i wish my mother died with me .

Grandma :don't speak like that my child , you're still young.

Me :aren't you hungry grandma ?

Grandma :no I'm not , Nongoma village is your home my child just go home ..

Me :what must I say when I arrive there ?

Grandma :you must say you're looking for Nomathemba , Zuzeka's mother..

Me :but i can't leave you alone like this grandma who will take care of you..

Grandma :don't worry my child just know that I'll be always be with you *taking off her necklace*here this will keep you safe ..

I took the necklace with my both hands and wore it .

Me :*guilty* yazi grandma yesterday i lied..

Grandma :about what ?

Me :yesterday i met with King Zwelibanzi from Emathafeni Village..

Grandma gasped..

Grandma :that man is the enemy of your village , stay away from him ..

Me :but i saved him yesterday after being thrown like a dog outside some car ..

Grandma :you did a very good thing my child by saving him but please be careful .

Me :i hear you gogo , i will .

Grandma :i think you're ready to go now , go my child and claim what is rightfully yours ..

Me :but gogo I'm scared .

Grandma :trust yourself my dear you can do it ..

Me :what if I get lost and end up being in a wrong village .

Grandma :you won't get lost don't worry as soon as you go out that necklace that's in your neck will be your direction..

Me :but how ?

Grandma :if you go the right way it will glow yellowish but if you're going the wrong way it will be green and if you're in danger and it will red , take note to that ..

Me :okay gogo thank you so much and thank you for making me this young lady i am today ..

I went to her and we shared a hug .

Me :I'll miss you gogo ..

Grandma :I'll miss you too my dear , now go ...

I was wearing my Zulu traditional attire and i was walking barefoot , i went outside the yard and started walking , to be honest I was really scared but i had to.
