It’s sunset, I spent the day with my mother talking and catching up on stuff. Now it’s time to get on with what am here to do, I walked to the backroom where my mother’s shrine is and she was already busy doing her thing. I took my shoes off and went in.

Ghost/TokeloI have been waiting for this guy for a while now, am sure he wants me to sweat before he comes and gives me whatever news he has for me. I just hope its good news or at least something I can negotiate. I was snapped out of my thoughts by a guard hitting on the bars with a baton making one hell of a noise, which I don’t even know why guards always feel its necessary to make their presence known by doing that.He gets in front of my cell and stands there looking at me as if sizing me up. I remained seated and waited for him to say his peace. “El prisionero se levanta!” ‘prisoner stand up!’

Tokelo/GhostIt’s been three weeks since I have returned home and business is doing very well, both my law firm and my other business. The Mexican cartel kept their word and cut ties with Tsietsi’s father, then flew me back and met Lebo at the airport for their diamonds. I also went through the contract they gave me and signed. It was a good deal after all.Today am meeting Leo at the warehouse, he called me to tell me that he has found the mole, one that has been working with the king of BaTlakwana and I can’t wait to get my hands on that son of a bitch. I am going to make him wish he was never born, am driving to the ware house listening to jazz thin

Ghost/TokeloWhen he got out of the warehouse he went to his car and drove off. He went to his safe place, the beach to cool off and think. ‘how could Tools do this to me’ ‘how can he betray me this way?’ ‘he was my brother for God sake. Why could he not just ask me for money when he needed it instead of choosing this route, the one he knew very well will lead him to his grave.’ As he was deep in thought his phone vibrated in his pocket.He fished it out of his pocket and checked who the caller was. The princess’s name flashed on the screen and a smile

Mapula When I turned, I felt that my body was sore, when did my bed get so hard? I wondered; mother must buy me a new bed. I tried to move but it seems I have a lot of blankets on me and it is hot.

It’s Thursday and my day to rest without a man next to me. But I must say I like the competition between these two, each one wants to do more than the other, the gifts I have been getting are amazing and expensive too. My phone rings and I picked it up from the coffee table then checked who the caller was. It’s that damn Lesego aah! he drives me crazy acting like Thabiso’s savior, why can’t he just get a life?“Thabiso is not here” that’s what I said when I answered the phone. “What the hell did you do to him?” he yells at me. “Hey!

Everything has been going well on my side and I have enjoyed my time back home more than I thought I would.Since this year started, I have been feeling like a new person, I don’t know how to explain it but I feel different, more confident, and more powerful if I may put it that way.

Lebo and Kwezi were the happiest. Enjoying themselves and each other's company as her father kept an eye on them. He did not like Lebo close to his daughter at all, that was mainly because he looked older than her and he did not like that.Zasembo was enjoying herself, she was introduced to all the royals of Bakoena including Reneilwe, Thabiso’s sister and lover to Tokelo the king of Bakoena.

Mapula-The Rain Queen Love
Since Lebo was still not well enough to go out, he decided to have the date in his chambers in the west wing, in his in-house cinema there. He selected a movie, made popcorns and snacks. Then when he was done, he sent a guard to get him black roses, dark chocolate, cream cheese, and crackers. When the guard came back with what he needed he set up everything then took out a bottle of chilled champagne and set everything.He then went to shower and change then went to the cinema to check on everything one last time. When he was satisfied he went out to find Kwezi, he was wearing sweat pants and a hoodie with sneakers. He was in comfortable home wear and hoped that it will not be a turn-off to his lady. He saw his sister first with her husband sitting in the lounge with him brushing her protruding tummy as she laid on his lap.“What a sight, can you two tell me where to find Kwezi.” He commented, Mapula lifted her head from Thabiso’s lap and looked at he
Mapula-The Rain Queen It is not up to us now
Lethabo was pleading with his niece and nephew to let him go but they were having none of it. “My niece and nephew. Please I beg you my brother’s children, let me go and I promise never to do such a thing again.” He begged them on his knees, the pain on his arm was also not giving him any rest, Ngwedi had to bite his arm and the bite was now causing so much pain. But he could take that pain and get his arm treated as long as they let him go, he still had a chance.“It’s not up to us now uncle, look,” Mapula told him and pointed at the river that now had a hole opening in the middle and the alligators that already gathered there waiting. “Oh, dear niece, I am begging you here, please don’t take me there, please have mercy on me.” He pleaded; he could not even imagine what would happen to him if they took him there. “No, no one will take you there, dear uncle…” before Tokelo could finish Lethabo cut him of
Mapula-The Rain Queen He is awake
Lebo still hasn’t woken up yet and it had been two days. Mapula went to check on him and told them that he will wake up when he is ready but Kwezi would have none of it, she insisted that a doctor should be called in to check on him. Indeed, the palace doctor was called, she checked on Lebo and said the same thing Mapula did. That he will wake up when he is ready, she was that he only needed motivation to wake.Kwezi has been waking up early for the past two days to go to Lebo’s chamber to check on him, this morning was no different, she took her bath then got ready for the day and went to Lebo’s room to check on him. She got in then sat on the bed next to him. “Lebo, you have to wake up now, its been two days and its lonely here without your jokes.

He also did not like the idea of leaving her behind as they have grown close.He even thought of how calm his beast had been around Zasembo but also wondered if it’s because he had to help her or was it because it was content with her. He thought of all the mistakes he made with Mapula and did not want to repeat them with Zasembo. So, he decided that if Zasembo felt the same way about him she will show it somehow.Because this time he was determined to keep his kingdom safe and do the right thing for once. Zasembo’s journey taught him a lot about people and now he didn’t want to put his own people in danger because of his own selfish reasons. While he was still deep in thoughts,
Mapula-The Rain Queen Lock them in the cells
In the palace the people were still shocked by what the queen mother said, the queen of the land could not stop crying, because traditionally a new born baby or a still born is buried by the elder women of the family only, the mother is not involved, this was so that they don’t put too much stress on her while she just given birth. That is why elder women of the family buried the child and the queen mother knew this very well.Back in the day African women did not go to hospitals to give birth, yes hospitals were there but the elder did not believe in them, they believed that women were made to give birth and could do it without the help of other people or hospitals. They believed that women were more than capable of giving birth in the comfort of their homes being helped by older women that have given birth before.If a child was a still born, the child would be wrapped up and buried under the stack of firewood. That was a sacred place where only women were allo
