UNEDITED

No Zingisa's father looks scary people ,I almost peed myself ,and I don't understand that how did he know that we were here ,I mean how does he even know about me even though my father caused the drama that he caused in his household no my father people ,he's annoying ,now it's game over for me.Its just over for me ,he looks angry ,what if I'm going to die people?but nah Zingisa won't allow that to happen ,I mean he loves me and he had proven that to me and I love him too but people it's a lot eyyy ,our love has brought too many problems to us.I just stood behind Zingisa and held his hand which was shaking ,he's scared too ,and so am I
Radebe:Nguye lo Zingisa?(Is this her Zingisa?)
Zingisa:Uzofuna ntoni apha tata?(What are you doing here dad?)
Radebe:Ndikubuza umbuzo uwuphendula ngombuzo!ngumhlaba wam lo ,ndizakuya apha ndifuna ukuya khona ,ndiyaphinda ndiyabuza ,nguye lo na?(I'm asking you a question you answer it with a question!this is my land ,I'll go wherever I want to go ,I'm asking you again ,is this her?)
Zingisa:(Looked at me)Ewe nguye bawo(Yes it's her king)
Ayabonga just left us there ,I mean it's too much for him already and it's actually going to get really awkward and tough people ,I'm so scared ,I can't even breathe properly
Radebe:Andizanga ngokulwa kemna apha ,kodwa Dumile undiphoxile nyana ,wena Zingisa kudala undiphoxa kodwa apha undiphoxe Kakhulu ,ungade uzise utshaba lwethu apha ,ufuna sife Zingisa?!(I didn't come here to fight you guys but Dumile you've disappointed me son ,Zingisa you've been disappointing me but you've disappointed me over this time ,how could you bring your enemy here ,do you want us to die Zingisa?!)
This person said he didn't come to fight here but he's the one who's yelling already ,weird!
Zingisa:Akanabungozi uMbali tata ,ndiyamthanda uMbali tata!(She's not harmful dad ,I love her dad!)
Radebe:Suthetha ndithetha Zingisa!!enye into andikhathali ukuba uyamthanda okanye akanabungozi na ,kodwa into endiyaziyo kukuba andimfuni apha lomntu wakho ,makahambe ,ngoku hayi ksasa!!(Don't speak while I'm speaking Zingisa!another thing ,I don't care whether you love her or that she's not harmful at all but what I know is that I don't want her here ,she must leave ,now not tomorrow!!)
What?!No Zingisa have to do something ,where would I possibly go ,I don't have a home ,no I hate Zingisa at this point ,I mean if I didn't choose him ,none of this would've happened ,I regret it ,I curse the day I met him ,no it hurts ,am I crying?Ohhh now my tears are disappointing me
Zingisa:Kodwa Tata(But dad)
Radebe:Thula , ndithethile ndigqibile (Turned to Dumile)undiphoxile nyani mfo kaBala uyivuma njani into enje yenzeke kwakho?!inyala!!bendicinga ukuba ubhadlile ikanti unguthonqo nawe!!(turned to me)goduka wena ,andikufuni apha!!(Shut up ,my word is final*you've disappointed me Bala ,how could you allow this to happen in your house?!rubbish!!I thought you were smarter than this but clearly I was wrong*go back home ,I don't want you here)
Zingisa must say something ,he just looked at me straight in my eyes ,I see pain ,he has lost hope ,he looks very sad but he's not even trying to keep me here ,he doesn't want to talk anymore I can see ,it hurts people ,it hurts so much ,I don't even know what to do anymore ,it hurts so bad.
Dumile:Bawo ,andikhathali noba ungandithuka kangakanani ,noba ungandibetha akukho ngxaki ,mna owam umsebenzi kukuba ndincede apho kuncedeka khona ,ndiyayiva inkosi ithi ithethile igqibile kodwa ndicela ukhe umamele uZingisa ukuba ufuna ukuthini kuwe ,andithi thamba Nkosi kodwa ndicela uve isikhalo sonyana Lo owakho ,ndiyakucela(My king ,I don't care whether you swear at me or you beat me up ,I don't have any problem with that ,my only job is to help people ,I hear you king that your word is final but please listen to what Zingisa wants to say to you ,I'm not asking you to show remorse but please listen to your son's cries ,I beg you)
Why isn't Zingisa talking now?What the hell is he doing?this is our only chance and he's ready to blew it ,I hate Zingisa ,I hate him!!
Mbali:Zingisa?
He just looked at me and looked down again
Radebe:Ayikho into akazoyithetha uZingisa ezandenza ndithambe iyandidika lento eyenzeka apha ndenziwa isbhanxa ngumntu endimzeleyo kwamna kubanguye ophinde asifake engxakini ,andifuni nokuva ukuba ufuna ukuthini uZingisa ,undidikile ,makathathe umntu lo wakhe bamke apha kwam!(There's nothing that Zingisa could possibly say to me that will make me rethink my decision ,this whole thing bores me because I'm being made a fool by the person I gave birth to and he's getting us into trouble ,I don't want to hear what he wants to say to me ,he's annoying I tell you ,he must just take his lady over here a s leave!)
I have to do something ,why can't I just stop crying?!
Mbali: Ngiyak'cela Radebe ,ngicela nje uboleke uZingisa izindlebe zakho ,ngiyakucela(Please Radebe ,please just listen to what Zingisa wants to say to you ,please)
Radebe:Unaso nesibindi sokuthetha nam ,kulungile makathethe uZingisa ndimamele(You have the audacity to even speak to me ,fine ,speak Zingisa I'm listening)
Zingisa:(Looked at me and sighed then looked at his father)Bawo ndikuphoxile ndiyavuma kodwa umntu akazikhetheli ukuba athande bani ,angathandi bani ,ukuba bokuya ngam ngendingamthanda uMbali ndisazi kakuhle ukuba ulutshaba lwam kodwa ndiyaphinda tata ndithi uMbali akanabo ubungozi kuthi nabantu basekuhlaleni.Elapha nje akasenalo ikhaya bawo , uGatsheni umgxothile.Elapha nje ukhethe mna Kuba endithanda ,ndicela nam tata undivumele ndimkhethe ,ndimtshate ,ndiyayithanda lenzwakazi tata ndicela nje bawo undivumele ndimkhethe ,xa uthi makahambe uthi aye phi engenalo ikhaya nje?kaloku ukhumbule bawo ukuba ndithe ugxothiwe lomntu ,xa ezakubuyela kuGatsheni angafa nokufa tata kwaye loo nto andifuni yenzeke kumntu endimthanda ngoluhlobo endimthanda ngayo uMbali ,azange ndakhe ndathanda umntu ngoluhlobo Tata kwaye ngeke ndiphinde ,ndicela undiyeke ndimthande Kuba akanabo ubungozi ,yintyantyambo ebomini bam lomntu ,ke ngoko ke bawo ndiyeke ndibe ngumcecesheli kule ntyantyambo kuba endibonisa uthando kwaye ehombisa obu bomi bam ,ndicela uthambe tata ndiyakucela.Ndilikhaya lakhe uMbali ,apha ndikhoyo ukhona naye kuba elakhe ikhaya ndim kwaye nelam ikhaya nguye.(My king I've disappointed you I know but a person doesn't choose whom to love but the heart does ,if it worked like that then I wouldn't have fell in love with Mbali knowing very well that she's my enemy and I repeat ,Mbali is not harmful to us and to our people.As she is here she has no home ,her father Gatsheni banned her from their kingdom.As you see her here she chose me because she loves me so please father I beg you to let me choose her too ,let me marry her ,I love this lady and please my king let me choose her too ,where would she go if you kick her out?Remember that I just said that her father banned her from her kingdom so she no longer has a home ,if she goes back there Gatsheni may even kill her and I don't want that to happen to a person I love like the way I love Mbali ,I've never loved a person like this and I doubt that I ever will ,please let me love her as she is not harmful ,she's a flower in my life dad ,therefore please let me water this flower as it loves and decorates my miserable life ,please show empathy dad.I am Mbali's home ,wherever I go she goes too ,I am her home as much as she's my home ,home is her and home is me)
I just felt my heart melting ,this is so sweet ,I love this man ,I love him so much ,he didn't even fight but he showed his father that he respects him and wants his blessings in this and that he loves me ,but I doubt his father even cares about that.He then looked at me and smiled ,wiped my tears and held my hand tight.
Radebe:Ndiyakuva nyana kwaye andinamsebenzi nalonto undixelela yona ,ukuvelana kwam naye kukuba ahambe ksasa ekseni ilanga lingekaveli ,uhambe uyomfunela indawo Lo mntu wakho kodwa le kude nalapha , andifuni ukuphinde ndimbone apha ,kwaye ekuseni nawe ndifuna sidibane(Turned to the guards)madoda ,nigadeni apha ukuba lomntu uhambile na ekseni ,nenze isiqinisekiso sokuba uyahamba ,nivile(I hear you son and I don't care about that ,she can leave tomorrow morning ,first thing in the morning I want her gone before the sun even rises ,i want her gone ,I don't want to see her here ever again ,and I want us to talk when you come back home tomorrow morning*gentlemen ,secure this house and make sure that this person leaves tomorrow morning)
The guards just nodded and waited outside
Zingisa:Kodwa tata uzakuhlalaphi?(But dad where would she go?)
Radebe:Zininzi eziyure endikunike zona kwaye uyindoda uzakulakha icebo kwedini(I'm giving you plenty of hours and you're a man so come up with a plan)(Turned to Dumile)Make sure that something like this never happens again otherwise you'll be in deep trouble
Dumile:Uvakele Bhungani (Understood)
He then left us there ,this man is heartless ,he's just like my father ,how could he?no it hurts people ,I just want to scream and cry or die ,why is everything this ruined ,why can't I love Zingisa in peace ,and why the hell is Zingisa not saying anything ,he's just gazing at the door and Dumile is looking at us ,no this is so boring people ,I hate Zingisa at this point!!
Dumile:Are you guys okay?
Zingisa:Ewe Du(Yes Du)
I removed my hand from his hand and turned to look at the other side ,and tears escaped ,I didn't want Dumile to see me crying ,they like making that a big deal and it's annoying people.
Dumile:Khathi ndiniphe ixesha ,ndizanivusa ekuseni ke(Let me give you sometime ,I'll wake you up in the morning)
Zingisa:Enkosi mfondini (Thank you man)
He then left us there and I cried out loud ,I cried my lungs out and Zingisa hugged me from behind
Zingisa:Uxolo s'thandwa sam , ndicela wehlise umoya ,yonke into izakulunga ndiyakuthembisa ,shhhhhh(I'm so sorry my love ,please calm down , everything's going to be okay I promise ,Shhhhh)
Can you believe this guy?!he's giving me hope meanwhile he gave up and lost hope a long time ago ,pathetic!.So I started pushing him and held me tighter ,it hurts people I can't even breathe properly ,I don't understand people ,why?!
Zingisa: Mbali ndiyakucela(Mbali please)don't push me away ,let me be there for you
Mbali:Ngiyekele Zingisa (Leave me alone Zingisa!)
I turned to him and punched him with my weak fists ,I doubt he even felt any pain ,I was just pushing him ,kicking around and screaming till I had a headache but I continued ,telling him to leave me alone and he just held me tighter and cried too.I lost energy and the next thing I was buried in his arms ,why does it have to feel this safe in his arms meanwhile it's not safe around him?I don't understand but it hurts.
Zingisa:Ndixolele bhabha , ungakhathazeki ndiyakucela ,yonke into izakulunga ,ndiyathembisa ,ndiyakuthanda(Forgive me baby ,don't be worried please , everything's going to be okay ,I promise ,I love you)Let's go to bed
He stood up from the floor ,and helped me up too and we went to Dumile's bedroom and slept there ,he pulled me closer to him and kissed my cheek ,his arms were all around my waist.
Zingisa: Ndiyak'thanda Mbalenhle (I love you Mbalenhle)
I just sighed ,I don't want to say it back ,I hate him!.I then slept.
