tears of the heart
Nicole
"Mom(I just toke numerous deep breaths)I don't feel good about this marriage" I just turned around my aunts and mom looked shocked by my statement.
" Mntanam tshada namhla lilanga lakho"[my child get married it's your day] Aunt Lungi strictly said.
"Yeah don't tell me you are having cold feets" mom said looking straight into my eyes. I could feel my palms sweating and the dress just suffocated me. The only thing that they care for is that the guy has paid Lobola and engaged me with a diamond ring, I mean Levy has been my best friend since last year I entered university .I think marriage and all this is happening too fast.
"No mom I will get married" I said unsure
"Then stand up your father is outside the door waiting for you to finish." Aunt Lungi said plainly.
"Go girl the dias is awaiting for you" Aunt Dudu said happly trying to clear the thin air in the room." Mhh mom can I make a call "
I just took my phone and dialed the number.
"Hello" her voice sounded like she was whispering .
" Dear I am sorry love I can't make it to your wedding I am currently busy with work pressure. I was about to call you" if she can't make it who is the one going to give me advice even Gallete is busy with work.
" Okay that's fine "
" Okay I have to go love" she just cut the call it seems my last hope just vanished. God I really hope he is the one cause I really need you to bless this union.
8 hours later
I am now married and stuck with him " are you alright Nicky" I just looked at him and smiled " just tired from the wedding and all " I said shifting in the couch " oh I see yeah you are right the wedding was tiring " he said looking at his watch then his phone started ringing. " Can you excuse me it's an important call " I just nodded and watched as he climbed up the stairs answering the phone call. I just followed up the stairs and went to the guest room. I prepared the bed and climbed it.
Morning 11.06
Levy :" wifey remember on Wednesday we are supposed to be at home in America" I just shook my head. Even this novel now seems boring. I just shoved it aside stood up and went to the kitchen to drink some water. I just noticed how he sneaks to either answer a call or to call someone. He could be cheating, oh hiding something big.
