I'm so late I quickly took a shower, I wore my long hugging dress and a blazer. I didn't even eat breakfast I drove to work. I've been answering calls the whole day I'm really tired. "Miss Zungu" it's my colleague Mr Collins he's white and sexy yeah I do have hots for him. Me:"Hey Mr Collins" Him:"I'm not feeling well please cancel all my meetings" I'm not getting paid for that he should get a PA Me:"Okay I will do so" I faked a smile He left. I canceled his meetings, I'm working for a law company. I knocked off around 4pm and drove to my apartment. I'm really lonely even on social media I really don't Chat with people. I dished up for myself after cooking, there's nothing I can do I watched soapies my phone rang it's Mom. Her:"Nontombi" Me:"Hey mommy" Her:"You no longer want to come home?" Me:"Eish Mom I will try to come on Friday" Her:"Please do so" I come from a very strict family, my grandfather was a king, after he died dad had to take over but as for me I'm not interested In all of this I hope I won't get involved in their Royalty things. Actually on Friday I'm planning to tell them that i will look for a boyfriend I'm old next year I will be turning 25 it's embarrassing. I went to bed. It's Friday after work. I saw Noma from a Distance she's walking I stopped my car next her, she got in Her:"You're lifesaver I'm so tired" I laughed Me:"Where are you going?" Her:"Rushing to my room I want to go home the prince is going to choose a third wife tomorrow" I laughed Me:" He's hot?" Her:"Very hot but Rude baby girl" Me:"I never met him" Her:"It's your loss. You know it's going to be nice neh come with me" Me:"I'm not interested and besides that I want to spend time with my family" Her:"You forgot that you're a princess? What If you will be the third wife" Me:"I would die immediately" We laughed Her:"Can I please pack my bags you will give me a lift right?" Me:"Yeah if you stop this topic of yours" Her:"I will stop my friend" I waited for her outside I'm thinking about what we were talking about, Qhawe has 2 wives now he wants the third one? I'm sure he got lot of money or his family i feel sorry for the third wife how can you allow yourself to be a third option? Let me Google him "I'm back Let's go" I put my phone down I drove to my apartment it's getting late I don't like driving at night. Our drive to KZN was long my eyes are tired I dropped Noma at her home she's not staying far from my home. I saw my brothers cars outside I'm bored I don't want to see them especially Nkosenhle. I opened the door they all kept quiet it seems like I disturbed their serious meeting Me:"Manzini" I greeted my father and sat down Nkosenhle:"What about us?" I kept quiet Mbongeni:"Lindo I don't like your attitude, you already started dating" Mom:"Please stop it" Nkosenhle:"No Ma Lindo is full of nonsense these days" Me:"I'm tired of you abusing me and controlling me I d...." a hot slap landed to my cheek Dad:"Nkosenhle Stop it Man" I don't know whether I should cry or what I hate my family Mom didn't even try to stop him I quickly wiped my tear. I can't run to my room they will say I'm disrespecting them. Dad:"Tomorrow the Prince is going to choose a wife my child Please be there" Me:"Ndabezitha I don't want to be on that group" Dad:"I was not Asking you Princess" Me:"He won't choose me I don't see the need of going there" Dad:"Your traditional attire is ready" I thought he's joking. Which Prince? If it's Qhawe I swear I will die I feel like they planned the whole thing. Mom:"I hope he will choose you" Me:"And I will be the third wife? Over my dead body" I stood up and went my room Mbongeni:"Lindo!!!!" He was shouting mxm f**k him and his family I won't attend any ceremony they rather kill me nxn. My tears couldn't stop coming out I feel so much pain why did god gave me a family like this one. I ended up sleeping . I was woken up by a knock on my door I checked the time it's 8am. I went to open it's my mother Her:"Hey baby how are feeling?" Me:"Good. Can I continue with my sleep?" Her:"Lindo please prepare yourself we will be late" Me:"I'm not going anywhere" Her:"Okay. Please at least dress up" Me:"Mom I said I'm not going anywhere if you no longer want me here at home you should've at least told me than treating me like this" "Lindokuhle we can't debate with you we're running late" That was my father he was giving me a serious face. I went to take a bath Mom gave me the traditional what what do I really have to show my breasts? The skirt is short I feel too exposed last time I wore these things I was turning 21 they did Umemulo for me. I brushed my braids. Nkosenhle got into my car he thought I will come and sit with him? I won't i have too much anger towards him. i went to Mbongeni's car I didn't greet him "Let's go" he said. I got in the car they drove to Umngongovu Kingdom. It was packed I hate being around a crowd. I sat with another girls they're so beautiful the ugly one is me here I'm getting relieved I know that he won't choose me. We're waiting for the prince to come it's been an 1 hour people are singing. They stopped their attention was focusing on something which means the prince is coming I'm scared to raise my head, my heart is beating fast.
