Turning Table

Part 181

"Well, we all here, may you kindly advise what is the purpose of this meeting? "

I bite my lip and look at the door ooh how I wish Sam would just walk through that door

Me: Thank you all for coming ... I promise not to take much of your time since you all know that we have a funeral to prepare for ... "

They all nodded

I proceeded to say "Before, I start I would like to introduce you to Simon Moyo, Simon is Oyama's distant cousin, and he was appointed by Oyama to help me deal with his family should Oyama pass on, so that is why he's here ..."

Nicky: Simon Moyo? ... were you not married to Ngozu? "

Sy looked at me and then back at Nicky, we were all confused, how on earth did she find out about Sy's past,

Nicky: ooh you most probably wondering how I know about this, well let's just say it's the pros of marring an intelligent man, I know a lot about the Ngeve family now and I'm glad to say that thank God that man gave me away because that is one fucked up family "

Zuko: However you feel about that family does not change the fact that you have Oyama's DNA running in your veins so you are more like them than you claim not to be "

Nicky: But I'm glad I don't walk in the room and remind people of how Oyama looked like, you wearing the man's face! "

Zuko: Niki don't fuck with me like that uyezwa"

Nicky: look in the mirror and you will see you have more than just his DNA ... "

Zuko was on his feet and fuming with anger, pointing his finger at Nikiwe

" Haybo! stop the madness you two, Kufiwe lekhaya! "My mother shouted at the two hotheaded adult kids before us, but looks like she was screaming on deaf ears because they did not stop,

Nicky: ooh wait it's not only that ... you also have his last name... Mr. Nqeve!"

And just like that, they started bickering like teenagers, lord this has been the new normal ever since they meet each other its always too much talking, too much laughing, too much fighting and talking over each other you could swear they are teenagers, Will looked at me to do something, but I too wanted him to help with this shit! Sy shook his head and walked out, ooh great looks as I annoyed him even more with my undisciplined kids.

"These children are giving me a headache urg, wena fix this uyangizwa!" my mother said pointing a finger at me before she made her way to the kitchen, I breath out loud trying to compose myself, but I too felt annoyed by their behavior that I found myself shouting

Me: HHHHAYI MANIi!!!! Bloody cut it off! "

They both stopped talking and looked at me

Me: Are we forgetting that a few hours from now, my in-laws will walk through that door and take me to Nigeria? And Nina all you do is act childish; Do you know the stress I have been going through trying to find ways on how I will deal with this mass Oyama created when he chose to die before signing those bloody divorce papers! ... I know that this does not matter to you that Oyama is dead, good riddance you may say! But to me, it will be like walking out of jail and going to supermax prisons yet again, and don't get me started on the details of the horrific treatment I will find waiting for me there ... is that what you want? Is that what you want to see me go through, course I would rather choose death than be A miserable widow! "

"Sorry ma-Rose I did not... "Nicky said but I cut her off with my hand, I looked at her and all I could see was Shame and sorry written on her face, good! Now she is ready to listen to me. I turned to look at Zuko and spoke
