Nelisiwe was the 5th and last born child in her family. She was a short and curved black beauty.She would swing her hips in confidence where ever she walked,it was as if she knew her worth.She was the apple of her father’s eye.

The room would light up in her presence.Every one wanted to befriend her but she only befriended Sizwe the light skinned ,tall and handsome prince.Their bond grew stronger by the day that one would think they were in a romantic relationship.Nelisiwe and Sizwe did everything together.

She eventually came of age and suitors came in from far away lands to ask for her hand in marriage.Nelisiwe would reject every proposal,Until one day when their village king Qawe himself elder brother to Sizwe asked for her hand in marriage.

King Qawe was a polygamous man who already had 3 wifes but no children. There was something about the king she couldn’t resist.It might have been his physic for he was a tall dark and handsome man with long eye lashes similar to hers and broad arms.King Qawe showed Nelisiwe nothing but love to the extent of jealousy arousing amongst the sister wifes.

Nelisiwe faced a lot of challenges in the palace.Her sister wifes vowed to make her life miserable because of the amount of jealousy accumulating inside their hearts.Only three people had her back,Her personal maid Nomsa , the king’s younger brother Sizwe and the King’s personal body guard Mvelo the dark,tall man who was also Nomsa’s brother.

The king went on a journey and his second wife Mvuleni plotted to have Nelisiwe assassinated during her village walks.This resulted in her hiding in Mvelo’s hut when one of the maids revealed this plot against her life.Luckily her and Mvelo were discussing about Nomsa’s suspicious illness.This was the last place anyone would go looking for her .Nelisiwe spent the three days and nights in Mvelo’s hut.

On the fourth day Nelisiwe went back to the palace’s main house for two assassins had been caught and one fled.Three days later the fled assassin came to finish his job Luckily Sizwe over head the plot and quickly hid her in his chambers .She hid there for five days until the King returned from his body and soul cleansing journey.This ritual was performed if the King was suspected of having infertility.

The king glimmed with pride and joy.The whole village celebrated upon hearing the news except for two people.

Sizwe immediately confronted Nelisiwe about her pregnancy.This is because he had tasted his brothers personal chambers during her hid out.The following day Mvelo had the same question for her.Nelisiwe had began shivering with cold one night during her stay in Mvelo’s hut, which resulted in him caressing her for extra warmth.

The king had also been with her after his first ever cleansing journey. They decided to keep it to themselves until the child was born.Months later the cries of a child were heard from the king’s palace.Nelisiwe had given birth to a bouncing baby boy.The boy was fair ,handsome with long eye lashes but short.
