Mom:Clyde stand up.
Clyde:and go where?
Mom: don't embarass me in front of our guest please.
She grabbed my hand and took me to the varenda ,I saw this we'll build man , light skinned standing by there.
Mom:hey Mr Mkhize
The guy turned and looked at us and he couldn't take his eyes of me , mom broke the silence.
Mom:here is your bride ndodana(son)
The guy:Ngiyabonga ma(thank you)
Mom:okay let me leave you so that you guys can get to know each other
She whispered in my ear
Mom:do not do anything stupid wankwa (do you hear me)
I stayed in the same position for a while recalling all the events first mom forced me to wear a dress and a hair wrap, secondly she wanted me to serve those people in there "are they my in laws?" , "is mom really getting me married to person who is twice my age?", no I can't be , what is wrong with this lady? Dad is not even here "why did she not let me chose a man I like not this pink giant in front me" I hate this lady .The pink giant waved at my face it seems like he's been trying to talk to me
Me:ohh hi , excuse you said what?
Him:you are not in this world, is everything okay?
Me:why are you here?do you know me?
Him: I don't I'm also shocked as you are, my uncle just told to come here to see my wife
Me:wife?what are implying to when you say see your wife?
Him:Our family arranged marriage for us , without us knowing
Me:what ??
I don't understand this lady who gave birth to me how can she do this without telling ? What did I do wrong that she hates me this bad
Him:hi ,hi ,are you still here?
Me:mh pardon?
Him:are you fine?
Me: how can I be fine when I'm getting married to someone I barely know, even if I knew you my mother knows that I'm not into males but he still goes ahead and arrange marriages for me , I'm I a bad daughter tell me huh?
He pulled me in a hug , and made me cry in his arms he did not say anything he just listed to my sobs .
Him:I don't want to do this either
Me:so why don't we just talk to our parents about this issue , call off the negotiations
Him:you see , the person I said it's my uncle he's been a mother and a father to me I don't know my parents I don't want to disobey him.
Me:I'm doing this I'm sick and tried of mom trying to control me ,is now or never .
I rushed to the house , he came after me running .
Him: please don't do this
Me:leave me I hate being her toy.
All the people from the lounge stood up after hearing me shouting
Xhosa elder:what is this now?Mkhize what did you do to our bride.
Him:no I ..
I interrupted him before he could finish his statement.
Me:our bride , our bride nonsense
I said walking straight to my mom
Me: today I choose my self , you can get married to Mkhize if you want to but I will not do that , I'm sick and tired of being controlled by you.
Mom: Clyde are you crazy you agreed to this mou's yesterday
It's my mother after all ,all she do is lie and lie
Me: wow mom you are such a hypocrite
I slapped and pushed her , then rushed upstairs .
