Chapter Twenty Four.

In town I meet up with Nyiso, Anita and Siba. I know I haven't spoken to Siba in ages, But I'm glad she could be here to support me in this. I was going for all the last of my fittings and got a confirmation from Anita, that Bangi is currently at his. She shows me pictures of his outfit and he looked pretty drool worthy. He had on a white tuxedo...beaded by the shoulders and some of the beads come to the front and back of the tuxedo.

My man looked amazing, even in his fitted pants. His second outfit was just as spectacular.

I fit my dress and I was still happy with how perfectly it still fit me. It even made my butt look bigger. I grin, when I look at the beautiful and full mermaid tail.

"And here's your cape." Monique says and she walks in holding it with three more people. Okay, I won't lie. This sounded smaller on paper.

"Holy Balls mge...Bangizwe better faint when he sees this." Nyiso says.
"If he doesn't I'll push him." I chortle. "Are their dresses also here for fitting? I want to make sure that Nyiso's dress still fits her."
"Would you like to see them all? I'm sure Monique can get them all dressed for you. Aha." Anita says writing something down.
"Please."

The last time I saw them in their dresses they weren't done. Especially the beadwork. Unlike mine. And I'm quite impressed with how much I loved this white dress, since it wasn't just a plain white dress. I loved the beadwork that dominated the top half.

"Monique, her isicolo...is it ready?" Anita.
"Both of them are actually." Monique says before she's allowed to go off with Buhle, Siba and Nyiso.

I go with another one of Monique's assistants to fit my second dress, which was a simple royal blue dress that was off the shoulder. The mermaid shape fit perfectly and the bottom wasn't as extreme as my actual wedding dress. It was easy to move around in this one too. I take it off as soon as I'm satisfied.

I spot Ama among the ladies now, she's also dressed in the her braidsmaids dress. 

I gasp, looking at their beautiful knee high red dresses. Nyiso's dress was below the knee out of choice and wanting to stand out as my matron of honour. Her baby bump looked in place. "Monique, I love them all."
"You know me and my team by now darling. We make miracles. Nonkanyiso, your dress has stretch fabric around your belly area, which will accommodate your bundle at any given day." Monique reassures.

"So are you 100℅ satisfied?" Anita asks looking up at me.
"Absolutely." I say.
"Aha." She writes something down once again.

When we finally leave without the dresses since she Promised to be the one to deliver them on time a day before my wedding, Siba excuses herself to go back to work. Anita does the same, her path only leading her to the venue. I had to go fetch the ring I had made for Bangi from the jeweler Anita once again recommended. She really knew her stuff this lady.

'Sthandwa sam, can I call?' The text from Bangi read.

'Yes.' I text back, hurriedly. It felt like I hadn't heard from him in ages.

And soon enough my phone vibrates and I answer. Buhle was seated next to me minding her own phone, but Nyiso had her eyes on me.
