BoitumeloI have been locked up in here for months now, I have not seen Thabiso since the day he locked me up. I wish I could see him, just once so that I can apologise to him for what I have done, as for Lehasa, am sure he even stopped looking for me, if he was even looking. My mother, I hope she is okay wherever she is, I know she is worried sick about me and I wish I had a way of contacting her and let her know that I am okay.I know that this is my doing, if only I had used the portion the way my mother instructed, then I would not be here now. My greed got me here and I have no one to blame but myself. Am sure that I have lost my job my now, when I ge

A week later at BaTlakwana, the day of the funeral has arrived, many people attended the funeral, the king’s and queens from different kingdoms came to pay their last respects to the fallen king. Lerumo and Letsi were among those present at the funeral, also Papi’s business associates were there but they didn’t come to pay their last respects but to look out for their interests.They wanted to meet with Tsietsi after the funeral to find out what will happen to the business since Papi died. Tsietsi on the other side has not been himself the whole week, he doesn’t talk to anyone and looks like someone who is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. The elders thought that he was grieving his father’s death but that was not the case.

It's been five months, Thabiso was healed and Mapula went back to school. Now Mapula finished writing her matric exams, she and Thabiso have decided to stay a bit longer in Cape Town before going back. The date for her maturity ceremony was set for the first week of December, so they will be going back a few days before that. They have been doing well as a couple with no obstacles. Mapula was not scared anymore about going to the secrete river as the events of the past five months have prepared her well.Kwezi was going along with them to support her friend at the ceremony, she wouldn’t miss it for the world and wouldn’t take no for an answer from her parents when she asked them about going.

Lethabo was released by his brother the day Mapula arrived in Le Sotho asked for a car and drove to the capital. On the way, he called one of his associates and he updated him about what had been going on in his absence.

He parked his car then went and knocked on the door, elder Simon was shocked to see him. “Hello, Simon” the elder swallowed hard before answering. “Where have you been?” he asked instead of greeting back.

Sometimes humbling yourself before another person is not a bad thing, especially when your sanity, family, and all those who depend and relay on your actions to survive and have a better tomorrow. Look to you for answers. The people of Manzini kingdom depended on king Sbanisezwe to humble himself and make things right for them and their kingdom. But not only that, Sbanisezwe owes it to his son to make things right.He is the parent after all and he was supposed to reprimand his son when he did wrong, encourage him when he did right, and help him back on the right path when he went astray. But our dearest lion king of Manzini could not bear the thought of bowing down to a child because he was taught that children obey their elders and do as they are told by them.
