[ Ayanda's pov 🎀 💞]

Kwenzo: Tell me about her.

Me: Well, she's all I have besides Zamo. My dad passed away in a car accident when I was little...

Kwenzo: I'm so sorry

Just then, Mamzobe walks in with a tray of pancakes and apple juice in a glass on the side of the Carmel syrup. Mamzobe: Sawubona mfana wami.

She says, putting tray on the coffee table Kwenzo: Sawubona ma [ he say trying to steal one of my pancakes]

Mamzobe instantly hits his hand and says...

Mamzobe: That's not for you.

I laugh at him. Kwenzo: hawu MA, are you really doing this to me?

Mamzobe: Yes, and futhi, go make your own. I have work to do around the house. Aya, don't let him bully you into giving him. He knows I'll hit him so hard that he'll fly to Japan.

I laugh with tears coming out of my eyes. Mamzobe walks out, and Kwenzo turns to me and tickles me Kwenzo: What are you laughing at. Mmh

Me: I'm.....so..sorry....Kwenzo.

He stops and tells me to eat. I can't eat with someone watching while they're not eating, so I offer him he says no, and I end up feeding him while he feeds me. We finished up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Kwenzo suddenly asks a random question Kwenzo: Why did you become a doctor

Me: I've always wanted to sew what it looks like inside of a humans body ( he side eyes Me and I laugh) not only that but it felt like a calling like u was ment to do it and after my dad I was sure that I wanted to be a doctor.

Kwenzo: Ngiyakwesaba manje[ he says referring to what i said about always wanting to see inside of a humans body] Where were you at the time of the accident.

Tears suddenly blurred my vision, and a lump formed in my throat, remembering everything that took place that day. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down before answering. Me: No, but because I was at school, i couldn't get to the hospital on time. I felt guilty like I was also supposed to die on that day or at least be there for him. I had nightmares about it, and I suffered from ptsd. I went to therapy, and everything got better. Even though I still get the nightmares, it's not like before when they would come every night. But that's in the past now. And because it is just the two of us, she gets worried when I don't call to check in.

Kwenzo scans my face for a while. Kwenzo: You miss, don't you

I nod Me: More than ever

Kwenzo: Then why don't we go visit her. Plus, she needs to see her future son-in-law before my uncles send the letter this Saturday

Me: Really?

I ask, getting excited.

Kwenzo: Yeah.

Me: I'll quickly go shower.

Kwenzo: Okay.

I quickly run up the stairs and run to the room. Right, hair situation. Today's a big day, Mum's going to meet Kwenzo, and im gonna see her after a long time. She has absolutely no idea he even exists, let alone that we're engaged! I'm so nervous. I have to get this hair looking presentable.Cornrows are out. I take my time. I don't want to add any extra stress by being rough. I have a quick finger detangle, just to get the major knots out. And yoh guys, when i tell you here, there's always a lot of volume after taking them out. It's like my hair is saying, 'Freedom!' Into the shower. Then I cleaned my hair with sulfate-free shampoo, really focusing on my scalp. This is my 'calm before the storm' moment, just me and my hair. Deep conditioner time. I'm definitely not skipping this today. My hair needs to be soft and happy. Slathering it on, making sure every strand gets some love. I'm going to let this sit for a good twenty minutes under the cap. Maybe it'll calm my nerves a bit, too.Rinsing out the deep conditioner now. Feels amazing, so much smoother. Next, the regular conditioner. Generous amount, and then the wide-tooth comb. I'm taking my time here, making sure it's tangle-free. Cool water rinse to seal it all in. Stepping out, feeling a bit more human. Leave-in conditioner is a must, then a good helping of moisturizer to keep it hydrated. And a touch of oil for shine. Now, the style, you know what fock it, I'm just leaving it.

Now I have to go back in the shower to bathe, yohh. I wear a shower then shower which took me almost 45 minutes to do. I look at the time, yoh yoh yohhh, I spent almost 3 hours and I'm still not done. Don't look at me like that... I know you also do the same.

I brush my teeth again and wrap a towel around my body, and walk to the closet. Lotion my body, put on roll on, and wear my underwear, im not gonna wear my bra because i want to wear an off the shoulder dress. I go to my side where my clothes are neatly packed and take out a white, off-the-shoulder dress with a blue floral pattern. The dress has short sleeves with elasticated cuffs and a fitted bodice that ties at the front with a drawstring. It also has a high slit on the left leg, revealing a significant portion of my thigh. I wear small stud earrings for my double piercing with my necklace that says Aya. My dad bought it for me the day before he passed away. I take out the shower cap and comb my hair out. Also, I forgot to mention that I got a permanent anklet. I go to the makeup section and put on mascara, lip liner, and lip gloss only. I never really was a make-up girly

I look hot if I do say so myself. I walk downstairs. I hear voices in the kitchen, so I go there. Kwenzo had his back to me.

Kwenzo: That was one quick shower—【 he turns to look at me】

His jaw was on the ground. Mamzobe turned to look at me as well, and her jaw also dropped. I started feeling a little self-conscious Me: Why are guys looking at me like that? Should I go change?

Mamzobe: cha cha mntanami, you look amazing.

Me: ngiyabonga ma.

Mamzobe shoves Kwenzo with her elbow, and it looks like he had snapped out of whatever that was, and the first thing he said to me was...

Kwenzo: Where did you get that hair

Mamzobe hit the back of his head, and he said...

Kwenzo: I'm sorry, what I meant was you look beautiful and that your hair is beautiful like this.

Me: Thank you, Kwenzo.

I said, blushing.

Kwenzo: Are you ready

Me: Yep
