Stolen Heart

Chapter 31

***Nokukhanya's POV

Sante and I packed our clothes as soon as we got home then loaded them in the car with all the importance necessities. We chilled in the lounge waiting for the clock to hit 8PM. The time was getting closer so I started gethering everything we will need even latex gloves. We said a small prayer before doing what we had to do. Walking to my backyard , I feel kind of confident? I don't know but definitely fearless. We stood next to the mango tree and held hands then started praying. After the prayer I kneeled on the floor next to this flower and my instincts kept leading me to this small flower right under the tree. 

Me : "Dig here."  He wears his gloves. He sprinkles the water around the flower and it changes it's color to black that's when I start praying hard. He keeps on digging as I pray. It took a while for the flower to be removed and then he continued digging.

Sante : "I see something."  I move closer to him and I feel myself getting sick when I see what's inside. We find my once favorite lace pantie tied with red wool , my husbands underwear also tied separately with red wool , a stabbed picture of us , a little doll with needles all around and a tiny plastic with hair inside.

Sante : "What crazy shit is this?"

Me : "Oh my God!"  We put all together , I take a quick snap then Sante grabs a scissors I didn't even know he was carrying , he starts cutting all  these things then pour it with petrol and sets it alight. When it's done burning he pours it with the water. We go inside the house , shower and change then we hit the road. He drives us to his grandparents house in Alberton where I first met his family.

Gogo : "Aibo Nomusa so late!"  She exclaims. Nomusa is a name I was given when I married into the family. She leads us to the lounge where we find Mkhulu , we exchange greetings then sit. Sante tells them everything.

Gogo : "Hawu hawu hawu! People are cruel out here! Why would someone do that? To you futhi bantabami?"

Mkhulu : "The question we should ve asking is who did it?"

Sante : "We don't know because as far as I know my wife doesn't have friends."

Me : "Yeah and uBabuNkomo didn't really say it was a friend but she said it was someone close to me."

Gogo : "Yabonake , this is where you start giving it all to God. Strengthen your belief , your trust in God and your Gods. Kneel and pray. In the end , they always show themselves uzobona nawe."

Me : "Ngiyabonga Gogo."  She smiles.

Sante : "Can we please be excused , it's been a long night."  We bid goindnight and walk to our room.

Sante : "Stop overthinking it babe. Kuzolunga."  He says  bringing me to his chest as I cry.
