mr zulu : i thought she’s here to meet her husband & why are you slaving her ?

ma zulu : i’m not slaving her ‚ just teaching her makoti duties .

me : it’s fine baba .

i smiled then walked to her room ‚ i found clothes scattered all over the closet ‚ i sighed then started packing ‚ after an hour & half i was done . i’m tired & hungry . i went to the kitchen & dished up then sat on the stool & started to eat my food .

ma zulu : are you done ?

she said behind me ‚ i rolled my eyes & nodded .

ma zulu : uthini ?

me : yes mah .

ma zulu : okay good ‚ your husband will be back later on ‚ make sure you cook some food for him .
