Kgosi and his father got out of the car and Gorata ran to him.
Gorata: abuti  ausi Kele and ausi Mphonyana attacked ausi Dineo
Kgosi’s face instantly became hard.
Kgosi: what do you mean attacked Dineo
Gorata told him what happened and he rushed inside fuming....he got inside Dineo’s room and he found her on the phone.
Dineo: ummm let me call you back Mara
Marang: ok shap
Dineo: shap
She ended the call.
Kgosi: did they hurt you or the baby
Dineo: ne ba ka nnyela ( they would shit themselves)....im not a weakling Kgosi and i wouldn’t let them
He sighed.
Kgosi: I’ll handle them don’t worry about them....i don’t want you fighting mama....i don’t want anything happening to you or my princess
Dineo sighed and she nodded.
Dineo: how’s your cousin
Kgosi: holding on....i don’t even know why he doesn’t just die
He walked closer and got in bed and kissed Dineo.
Dineo: that’s not a nice thing to say Kgosi
Kgosi: I wouldn’t say that if he was a good person
He kissed her again and this time it got heated....he got between her legs and hungrily kissed her....her hand reached for his dick and her underwear got wet instantly when she felt his huge bulge....he left her mouth and went to her neck and she lost it...her moans where out of this world.
Kgosi: fuck!!!
He said stopping and he put his forehead on hers.
Dineo: please Kgosi  
She whispered to him, she was even shaking she wanted him so bad.
Kgosi: we can’t....not here anyways
Dineo: Kgosi please....
Kgosi: I want to make love to you so bad but not here Mmabontle...not in my father’s house
He said firmly.
Dineo: mxm
She said trying to push him off her but he was just too strong.
Dineo: get off me Kgosi
She said firmly and he just looked at her.
Dineo: get.. off.. me
She said through her teeth.
Kgosi: why do you like acting out when you don’t get what you want
Dineo: just get off me Kgosi....
Kgosi: I asked you a question
Dineo: im pregnant Kgosi and I need sex....
Kgosi: and you think I don’t know that
He said getting off her looking annoyed.
Dineo: mxm
She turned and looked the other way and tears filled her eyes then they fell.
Kgosi: Mmabontle...
She ignored him then he heard her sniff and he quickly turned her to face him.
Dineo: ntlogele ( let me go)
Kgosi: why are you crying
Dineo: ntlogele Kgosi ( let me go Kgosi)
Kgosi: mama look its not...

Kgosi: askies
Dineo: you heard me
He looked at her for some time then he clicked his tongue and he got off the bed and fixed his boner then he walked out leaving Dineo looking angry.
Dineo: I blame you Richard....i blame you....i don’t even know why you left me to suffer like this....i blame you
She said crying.

THE FOLLOWING DAY
 
It was an awkward morning for the family....Dineo and Kgosi weren’t speaking to each other....Kgosi’s siblings that attacked Dineo were tense around Kgosi cause they fear him....they don’t know whether Dineo or Gorata told him or not and as for the King, his mind is occupied by what’s happening in his family and what Kgosi went through in a foreign country....everything was just too much for him and now his nephew was struck by lightning.
Voice: papa
Mphonyana disturbed him from his trail of thoughts.
King: mmh
Mphonyana: I have an ask
They all looked at her.
Mphonyana: do you think is wise to allow what’s happening in the family to continue
King: what are you talking about
He said frowning.
Mphonyana: her...
She pointed at Dineo and Kgosi frowned so did Dineo.
Mphonyana: she was sleeping with abuti Tirelo and now she has moved to abuti Kgosi....do you think abuti Tirelo is happy with what’s going on
Dineo breathed out trying to calm herself.
King: there’s a lot you don’t know Mphonyana
He said dismissing her.
Mphonyana: still papa....this girl ruined by brother’s marriage and now she has moved to the other brother....she couldn’t even wait to give birth and she’s already sleeping with abuti Kgosi and ya’ll are quiet about it....its like you’re condoning her ratchet and loose behavior
Kgosi got up.
Kgosi: my king talk to your daughter before she loses her teeth....no wonder that guy ended the engagement no sane man will want to get married to this rubbish nxa
Then he walked away and Dineo got up too and walked away with tears in her eyes....she hated how this pregnancy makes her weak and a cry baby.
Gorata: you know ausi Mphonyana I just feel sorry for you
Mphonyana: ooh shut it you traitor
King: THAT’S ENOUGH!!!
They kept quiet while Queen Boitumelo just shook her head looking at Mphonyana.
Keletso: what she said it’s the truth papa....what you’re condoning is shameful and...
King: I WILL NOT REPEAT MYSELF!!!
He said hitting the table hard with his open hand making everyone to jump.
King: nxa
He got up and walked away looking angry and Queen Boitumelo also got up and she clicked her tongue looking at Keletso and Mphonyana then she walked away going after her husband.
Gorata: great....just great
Keletso: wena traitor we are still gonna deal with you
Gorata: before you “ deal” with me don’t forget that Kgosi is my brother and he will deal with you too
She got up and Keletso quickly got up ready to slap her and Gorata ran away.
Keletso: nxa
Mphonyana: I wish mama was well she would know how to deal with these traitors nx
Keletso: don’t worry o tlo tsoga ( she’ll wake up ) and she’ll deal with them
Mphonyana: mmmmh
 
-----------
 
In her bedroom Dineo called Kgosi and he answered after the third ring.
Kgosi: Dineo
She rolled her eyes...she was done with all this.
Dineo: can you please organize transport for me ....im going back to Pretoria
He kept quiet a bit.
Kgosi: we are leaving in two days’ time
Dineo: Kgosi I don’t wanna argue with you....if you cant just say so I can go to the main road and find a taxi
Kgosi dropped the call and she looked at her phone not believing that he did that.
 
IN THE AFTERNOON
 
Dineo and Gorata walked out of the palace and they found Kgosi and Botlhale standing closer to each other talking then Botlhale giggled shyly blushing and Kgosi smirked at her.
Gorata: that’s Botlhale his ex fiancé...she’s a princess
Dineo swallowed hard.
Dineo: lets go
Kgosi turned and frowned seeing them with umbrellas on their hands.
Gorata: ausi Botlhale
She smiled at her a bit.
Botlhale: hi Gorata
She then looked at Dineo thinking that Dineo will greet her but she didn’t even look at her.
Gorata: abuti, ausi Dineo and I are going for a walk and before you say anything we will be accompanied by a guard
Kgosi looked at Dineo.
Kgosi: where are your manners
Dineo: I shoved them down my ass
She rolled her eyes making sure that he sees them rolling.
Dineo: let’s go Gorata before I start puking
She had a disgusting look on her face looking from Kgosi to Botlhale then she walked away and Gorata followed her, she turned to look at her brother and he was looking at them with an angry look on his face.
Botlhale: wow
Kgosi: let me go do something I’ll see you
Then he walked away not waiting for her response.
Botlhale: bathong
She stood there dumb folded.
 
ON THE ROAD
 
Gorata: are you ok ausi Dineo
Dineo: yeah
Gorata: are you and abuti ok
She sighed.
Dineo: I don’t know
Gorata: huh.... is it because of ausi Botlhale
Dineo: no just that your brother can become a dick sometimes
Gorata’s eyes popped out.
Gorata: ausi Dineo!!!
Dineo: eish sorry man just that....he can really make a person angry sometimes
Gorata: mara le tlile go ba right ( but you’ll be alright)
Dineo just shrug her shoulders.
Dineo: so tell me about your boyfriend
Gorata looked behind at the guard then she whispered.
Gorata: who said I have one
She said blushing and Dineo laughed looking at her.
 
AT THE PALACE
 
Keletso was sitting on a chair next to the bed reading her mother a story on the book she was holding when Queen Motlalepula quickly opened the eyes gasping for air which startled her daughter.
Keletso: mama!!!
She said with her eyes popped out.
Keletso: mama you’re awake!!!....you’re awake
She quickly got up screaming and she rushed to the door screaming for her father
 
----------
 
ON THE ROAD
 
Dineo: ouch
Gorata: what’s wrong
Dineo groaned rubbing her belly and the guard rushed to them.
Guard: what’s wrong
The pain subsided as quickly as it came and she sighed.
Dineo: it’s nothing i think the baby kicked too hard or something
Guard: we should go back
He took out his phone and made a call.
Guard: bring the car by Modipa’s side
Then he dropped the call...Dineo wanted to protest but that sharp pain freaked her out a bit and she’s not taking any chances with her baby...maybe its stress “she thought”.
 
----------
 
 
Everyone was inside QueenMotlalepula’s bedroom as she lay there unable to move her whole body except for her mouth and eyes.
QMotlalepula: my...my King forgive me
King: for what Motlalepula
Keletso looked at her father not pleased with the tone he was using.
QMotlalepula: for every bad thing I have ever done to you and our family
The King didn’t say anything.
QMotlalepula: Kgo....Kgosi forgive me too
Tears ran down on the side of her face since she was facing up.
QMotlalepula: im....i went to see a witch to make sure you die in that plane crash
Everyone: WHAT!!!!!
Kgosi just closed his eyes looking down with his jaws clenched.
QBoitumelo: what did you just say Motlalepula
QMotlalepula: im sorry
She said crying.
Queen Boitumelo went to the couch on the corner on the bedroom and she threw herself on it as the pain she went through when Kgosi disappeared came rushing like a lightning.
QMotlaepula: i....i...ooh God
She cried.
QMotlalepula: i....i used your unborn child Keletso for the sacrifice...i sacrificed your unborn baby to have Kgosi killed
Keletso let go of her mother’s hand as if it electrocuted her hand.
Keletso: wh...what??
Her heart was beating fast.
Mphonyana: mama o reng ( mama what did you say)
Her heart was also beating fast.
QMotlalepula: I also made sure every time you get pregnant you miscarry as a sacrifice....for Kgosi to remain wherever he was and never comes back here if he was still alive so my son can be the next King
Queen Boitumelo released a loud cry while the King just looked at his wife with nothing but hatred.
QMotlalepula: Mphonyana I took away your blessings so you don’t get married cause I wanted to train you to take over the reins when im gone.....your engagement ended because of me...i made sure you never get married and that no man ever sees you as a wife material so you remain here and continue where I left off....when the time came and I went to go be with my ancestors I planned to possess you and work through you
Mphonyana slowly stood up shaking as tears gushed out.
QMotlalepula: I forced Mmabatho to abort her baby because the baby wasn’t Tirelo’s
Gasps filled the room.
QMotlalepula: and....and my son died for my sins.....the man Mmabatho slept with killed Tirelo just because I killed his unborn baby....my son died because of me
She cried.
QMotlalepula: I killed my son and now he wants me dead....he’s tormenting me....please forgive me
She continued to cry.
QMotlalepula: Mothusi and his son were also plotting with me but betrayed me....after Kgosi disappeared Mothusi then wanted his son to sit on the throne....he betrayed me....please forgive me
***BANG BANG!!!***
They all jumped frightened....the gun shots sounded not that far from the palace....Kgosi ran out of the room as his heart pounded against his chest then the WAR horn was heard being blown....the King rushed out too followed by Queen Boitumelo and everyone else except for Keletso.
QMotlalepula: forgive me my daughter
Keletso’s body was shaking as she cried.... she couldn’t believe her miseries were because of her own mother, her own mother.
Keletso: ngaka ela e rile mmangwane ( that traditional healer said aunty) is the one who made me miscarry every time I fell pregnant
QMotlalepula: I told him to tell you that...forgive me
Keletso: why mama....why....why
She said crying and Queen Motlalepula gasped with her mouth wide opened and her eyes popped out and she was gone....Keletso shook her.
Keletso: NO YOU’RE NOT GONNA DIE JUST LIKE THAT....I NEED ANSWERS....WAKE UP....WAKE UP DAMN IT!!!
She shook her violently then she started hitting her corpse crying her lungs out.
