CHAPTER 02 .

— KGOTHATSO'S MANSION , SANDTON .

She rolls around the bed crying silently and wincing in pain , her back aching more and more .

Kgothatso : oh , please .. what's going on with me ? why am I feeling so much pain ? What's happening ?

She tries getting up but fails , she begins hearing sounds of a groaning man as she tries looking around for the voice but it's not visible .

Kgothatso : he's in pain .. but why is the pain also with me ? (breathes heavily) goshh ..

She reaches out for her phone and dials her twin brother's number ...

Kgothalo : I'm sleeping ..

Kgothatso : something is wrong ..

Kgothalo : what do you mean something is wrong ?

Kgothatso : the pain is getting worse , I'm hearing voices Kgothalo , voices I don't know .

Kgothalo : do you want me to come ?

Kgothatso : I'm not gonna be able to sleep at all .

Kgothalo : I'm on my way , just give me a couple of minutes .

Kgothatso : okay ..

She places the phone down and lays on her stomach , she clenches her teeth .

Kgothatso : I'm feeling someone's pain , why ..

She shuts her eyes trying to reconnect with her ancestors ..

Kgothatso : who is he ?

She breathes heavily rubbing the beaded bracelet on her wrist . A man laying on his stomach flashes right infront of her eyes and she quickly opens her eyes .

Kgothatso : who's this ..

Kgothalo drives into her yard as the security guard opens for him , he jumps off the car and walks to the door . He scans his fingerprint and walks inside heading straight upstairs .

Kgothalo : sis ?

Kgothatso : in my bedroom .

He walks in and glances at her back ..

Kgothalo : no you're actually getting worse .

Kgothatso : there's a man I keep seeing , his groaning voices .

Kgothalo : huh ?

Kgothatso : I didn't see who he was but .. I saw him laying just like me . His voice is the one I heard , I think .

Kgothalo : I don't understand why you're feeling the pain instead .

Kgothatso : i feel like I'm supposed to help him but how can I help him when I don't know who he is ?

Kgothalo : it's hard .

Kgothatso : can you spend the night ? I'm literally dying and I don't want to be alone .

Kgothalo : anything for you .

Kgothatso : with me though , you know I'll only sleep when you cuddle me .

He smiles and nods .

Kgothalo : anything for my twin baby .

Kgothatso : your pajamas are in the second closet .

Kgothalo : sure thing ..

He walks to the closet and takes out his pajamas , he changes into them and walks back to the bedroom .

Kgothalo : make space ..

She shifts over and he gets in bed ..

Kgothalo : are you gonna be able to sleep though ?

Kgothatso : I don't know and I'm so sleepy .

Kgothalo : where are the herbs you normally use for healing ?

Kgothatso : my ancestral room .

Kgothalo : let me go get it .

He jumps off the bed and walks to her ancestral room , he grabs the bowl of herbs and walks back to the bedroom .

Kgothalo : lets see ..

He jumps on the bed ..

Kgothalo : it's gonna hurt .

He starts applying the herbs on her back as she winces and presses her lips together..

Kgothatso : it stings , it literally stings .

Kgothalo : I'm sorry .

He goes all the way down as she screams lightly .

Kgothatso : oh my goshh ...

— NDLOVU HOUSEHOLD , CENTURION .

He groans wincing in pain feeling the herbs stinging him ..

Mpiyakhe : why is she using herbs ?

: I think she feels the pain as well .

Mpiyakhe : then she must come here and help you .

: you know the only way she'll help me is if she marries me .

Mpiyakhe : would she agree ?

: do i know who she is ?

Mpiyakhe : Manzini will find her and when she does , she'll talk to her and make her help you .

: the herbs are helping though ..

Mpiyakhe : I'm wondering , why does she even use herbs ? Is she a sangoma or something ?

: I don't know , as long as she helps me . I don't want to die , I'm 27 and I have a few years of my life to enjoy .

Mpiyakhe : you're gonna marry someone you don't love ?

He sighs .

: you don't want me to die do you ?

Mpiyakhe : I was merely asking if you're ready to marry someone you don't know or love .

: what if she's ugly ?

He says chuckling .

Mpiyakhe : now that's a problem .

: I have a feeling that she's beautiful though .

Mpiyakhe : hmm ..

: once I get better , we can divorce because I'm actually inlove with someone else .

Mpiyakhe : and our ancestors don't know her , they don't recognize the one you love . They recognize the one you don't love and know .

: weird ..

He sits up ..

: they're gonna help me for a while , I feel so much better .

Mpiyakhe : you do look better ..

: what if I randomly meet her and we don't recognize each other ?

Mpiyakhe : I think you're gonna feel a connection between the two of you , she is the chosen one after all .

: will she even agree to marry me though ?

Mpiyakhe : if she's helping you spiritually , then she'll definitely want to help you .

: yes ..

Mpiyakhe : I hope she doesn't squit upon seeing your eight pack abs .

: Shut the fuck up , this is not a joke Mpiyakhe .

Mpiyakhe : I'm quiet ..

He sighs .

: I hope we locate each other soon as in like tomorrow because I can't handle the pain anymore .

Mpiyakhe : I know , lets hope that Gogo Manzini will locate her and plead with her .

: then the lobola shit and everything .

Mpiyakhe : you're gonna be a married man soon , halala .
