Nosipho : The Gift

39-Reunited at last

Bokang
We are on our way back to Joburg .My baby has been quiet the whole time,she looks exhausted.I am so happy that i found her and i hope that bastard didnt traumatize my baby.
Senzo:Boss are we going to your place
Me:No ,we are heading straight to her house,what time is it?
Senzo:3:30 am.
[Hope wakes up]
Me:Oh hey,you are awake?
Her:How far are we?
Me:15 minutes away.
Her:How is my mom holding up.Is she ohkay?
Me:...
Her:Bokang
Me: Baby
Her:Thank you.
[I kissed her on her forehead]
Me:Its my job my love.
[She chuckles]
Her:I love you Ntate Mokoena
Me:I love you Mabuthelezi.
[She stopes smiling]
Me:What's going on,are you Ohkay?
Her:...
Me:They really miss you at home.
Her:Really?
Me:mhm.
Her:I cant wait to see them.

Hope
I am really grateful of Bokang,he is indeed a blessing to my life.I wonder how they got me.We finally arrived in Joburg and we are now nearing my house.I dont know what to expect or even how to act.I am really angry though,Why would they hide such a huge thing from me.
...
We arrived at my house,i see Rato's mom is here and also a car that i cant recognise with a number plate of MaKhumalo. I wonder who's car is that.Bokang entered first with his men.They all headed to the lounge where everyone was surprisingly. I walked behind them slowly.When i finally entered i heard people gasping
Mom:My baby
I looked around and i saw unfamiliar faces.But what caught my eye was this girl who looked exactly like me.It was like i am starring myself in the mirror.I frowned.
Her:Hey Hope.
The woman next to her, started shaking her head.
The woman:My baby,Nosi is this really you
[I frowned more]
Me:Sorry who are you?
The woman:I am you mother.
I looked at my mom,suddenly i felt overwhelmed.It came to my mind that these were my family.My mother and sister.
Me:Zanokuhle how could you do this to me.Why?
Mom:Baby i...
Me:Save it mama.Kore it all makes sense,you never wanted me to meet your family. Few weeks i asked about Kzn and you dismissed me kanthe you knew that you stole me!
[She looked confused because she didnt understand how did i know]
Me:Bab Nkosi told me everything,and uGogo
The girl:Gogo?
[I just starred at her and i knew she knew what i was talking about cause she just changed her face]
Me:Yes Gogo.[i scanned more in the room]
Me:Rato what are you doing here.Does Dad know that i am not his child.
Rato:yeah.
Me:Great,i am leaving with Baka Zulu tomorrow Morning.
Mom:But you just got here.
[I left everyone and went to my room]

Nomasonto
I still cant believe Nosipho is alive and i actually saw her with my own eyes.I feel like i am dreaming.Zano is busy crying here,nxa tears of crocodile.Busi and Gugu are just sitting there.Everyone is just frozen,i finally broke the silence.
Me:Bokang,how did you find her?
Him:Umhm its a long story ma.
Me:Where is Nkosi i want to kill him with my own hands.
Him:My guys are with him.
Me:Your guys?
Him:
Is Bokang a gangster or something.
Me:Did he do something to her cause if he did..
Him:Not really but i think you should talk to her,she will tell you what really happened.
Me:I know exactly what he wanted from her.
Him:...
Me:My husband is coming,i want you to take us to him and wena[pointing at Zano] ,he is going to deal with your ass.
[ i stood up and went to check up on Nosipho]

Gugu
Its tense in here Ma Zano is still crying and nobody is paying attention to her.My aunt is just here shocked as i am. The Nosipho i saw now is not the same Nosipho i heard about.This one is cold and mean,she didnt even greet us properly and when she said Gogo i knew she has been to the forest.Atleast she now know who she is.
[I whispered to my aunt]
Me: dont think its a great idea that Baba is coming Mamncane.
Her:Me too,Sonto knows what she is doing.
Me:Dad is going to go nuts.
Her:I know right.
Me:Aunty,did you feel the coldness in Her.
Aunty:Who your mother?
Me:No,Nosipho
Aunty:Give her time,she is still angry and confused baby.
Me:I hope so.
[She smiled]

...
Its around 9 am and the house is so tense.Nosipho is still in her room,i think she is sleeping.Mama also disappeared ,Mam Zano went to her room and she locked herself in there as per usual.Bokang left after he went to talk to Nosipho.Rato is making breakfast as always,she is so caring.I decided to go take a shower but when i got to the guest room bathroom it was occupied and the general bathroom was also occupied.So i tried my luck and knocked on Hope's room.There was no response so I left but the door opened.
Me:Oh hey,sorry if i woke you.
[she smiled]
Her:No problem.You can come in.
Me:Thanks
[She moved from.the door and i entered]
Me:I was looking for a free shower.All the other ones are occupied.
Her:You can use mine.
Me:Thanks
[I left her standing there and i went to the bathroom to take a shower.]

Hope
I cant believe i have a twin sister,and im a royal.While my sister is taking a shower,i decided to fix my bed .I looked myself in the mirror and i feel changed,i even look different.I dont know whats going on,but something is going on.Then i remembered "greet Nompilo for me" from Gogo.I wonder who is Nompilo.As i was about to do a messy bun  the bathroom door opens and its her,my copy
Me:Oh you are done
Her:yes,thank you.I love your style.Its very unique.
[She said looking around my room]
Me:Thank you.Its funny how i dont know my own sister's name.
[She laugh]
Her:Sorry,i didn't introduce myself.I am Gugulethu,your twin sister.
Me:Hey Gugu,what a lovely name.
Her:Thank you Hope is not a bad name too.
Me:Mxm
[She laughs]
Her:I should update Ndalo,she's been sick and worried about you.
Me:You know Ndalo?
Her:Yes,she visited few weeks back.We had a common friend who recently passed.
Me:You mean Olwethu Zungu?
Her:Yes.
Me:Oh and Ndalo didnt care to tell me?
Her:I asked her not to.We had to do things the right way but clearly we should have come the sooner we learned you are alive.
Me:Maybe all of this had to happen hey.
[She nodded]
Her:i wanted to ask.What do you mean by Gogo?
Me:Our great grandmother.
Her:You've been to the forest?
Me:Yes,last night was my first.
[She smiles]
Her:It was beautiful wasn't it?
[I smiled]
Me:It was.She said i must greet Nompilo.
Her:Ncoah i hope i would greet her back.
Me:Wait,you are Nompilo?
Her:Yes,ancestral name,My first name.
Me:Then what's my name?
Her:Nosipho,Nosipho Zulu.
Me:Thats what they called me.
Her:ubaba uzojabula ukukubona
[I smiled]
[There was chaos outside the room]
Voice:Ndodakazi yami,uphi?
[The door opened]
Me:Baba
[He came to hug me]
Him:My baby.
He looked miserable,like he hasn't been eating,sleeping and bathing for days.
Him:what did they do to you?
Me:Nothing,baba nothing
Then suddenyl i remembered that he is probably like this because he learned that he is not biological parent.
Me:Its ohkay dad im alright.
Gugu:Let me give you space.
[She left]
Dad and i talked.I told him i am sorry he had to find out that we are not biological father and daughter buthe must know that he will always be my dad. He was really not doing ohkay.We then joined everyone for breakfast.

Gugu
On the table it was me,aunty,Nosipho,Mr Buthelezi,Rato and her mother.Mom was not here,She disappeared again.
Aunty B:We wre glad that tou are ohkay Nana.
[Hope just smiled]
Her:I am also grateful that i am.Bojang really helped me,i dont know where i would habe been if they didnt rescue me from that place.I wonder where is Zanele,i am gonna have her arrested.
Aunty B:Trust me,she will get what coming to her...
[Mom entered the dining but she was with dad]
Mom:Good morning.
[Dad scanned around the table]
Us:Morning
[His eyes stopped at Hope,as expected]
Dad:Noma?
Mom:Baba,this is Our Nosipho.
[Dad paused for a bit]
Dad:What do you mean our Nosipho Nomasonto?
[She let down a tear]
Mom:Nosipho was kidnapped baba,she did not die as they said.
[Dad looked at me and i nodded to confirm]
Dad:You mean to tell me this is Nosipho?my Nosipho?
[ he walked slowly to her,Nosipho just faced down]
Dad:Mtanami?
Her:Sawubona Baba.
[They hugged]
