Two men are digging in the cemetery with few of the deceased family and friends.The wife managed to “convinced” the whole family to bury Nkosiyabo in another secret place. It takes a few minutes for the whole process to be completed. It’s been weeks since Nkosiyabo was buried and it’s been a Glamorous for Zinhle Khumalo,endless shopping in Sandton and vacations overseas.it’s been a whole lot of interesting month for her! She’s about to be crowned Queen of Emzimtoti in the next few days…

A praise poet takes it to the stage to present the king to the people. It’s the big event indeed for Emzimtoti. The bride to-be is seated on her her Kings left side. The traditional chants a few words and he takes a long glances at the her. He takes a small Calabash and it drops down before he can even get to her ….an indication of a bad omen….in a moment of that event the king drops dead from his throne, police sirens and helicopters fill the compounds. Zinhle Khumalo is handcuffed and taken to prison.

I feel my breath living my body as this woman repeatedly stabs me on my stomach. I see all the memories of the wicked things I did to Nkosiyabo, at least I’ll be at peace.My stay in prison has not been what I called a “luxury”. I saw no point in fighting back when I was convicted for aggravated murder,when the judge announced the sentencing to be 30 years in prison, I lost everything strength to fight back but at least my soul would be at peace now…..

Seating in a comfort of table ,The Man takes a sip of his expensive cognac , he is staring at his pregnant wife and his 5 year old son nkosiyabo junior. “Check mate!”,he says as he stares at his late’s ex- wife’s picture……Nkosiyabo Khumalo The die hard himself!

THE END
