A elegant black lady opened the door but was comfused when she saw him. She had long , thick braided hairs with jet black eyes with thick lips and pointy nose.
For a second, even Samuel was surprised because he never expected his sister in law to be so beautiful not to ntion she seed to fit right in the environnt and was wearing loose garnts but with distinctive patterns. She also looked young, less than thirty while Ze because of his constant missions in the wild looked older and rough with more masculine attributes.
Even his skin was way darker than her other half. Samuel and the woman kept staring at one another before she said sothing in her native tongue which was Nguni language.
He didn't know it at first but just hearing it, he beca 'fluent' in it because of his connection with the Source.
" I thought it was Zwelibanzi." She sounded sad. Samuel heard it and knew it was full na of Ze. His last na was even more complicated that's why everyone just called him Ze for short.
" Hello, Are you Zwelibanzi's wife? Is he inside?" Samuel had already heard her mumbling but he still asked because it was respectful. It was their first et and he didn't know what kind of person the other party was.
" No, he is out... wait, you can speak out language?" The woman was so shocked that he covered her mouth with both hands to stop herself from shouting.
It's like she had never seen a foreigner speak her tongue before but from the pronunciation to the cadance, everything fit perfectly.
Even the flow was like a native of her tribe. She was sure if she just closed her eyes, she wouldn't be able to tell that it was him speaking!
" I try. I hope it's alright. I am not good at it so.." Samuel felt embarrassed getting such a huge reaction from her. For him, he didn't need to do anything extra and it didn't even take any effort but from her perspective she must think he grew up around her hotown!
" No, no. It's absolutely perfect. I can't believe soone here could speak to without the situation getting awkward. Ever since I arrived here, I have to do a lot of chances to fit in but seeing you speak my language fill with pride. Wait! I should go and call him. I am sure you are here for sothing important!" The woman was so enthusiastic that she dragged him inside and made him sit in the living room.
She was tall, just a couple of inches shorter than him and had strong body by the look of how she easily dragged him. After giving him a reassuring smile, she went upstairs to get her phone.
The phone wasn't that common in her hotown but when she arrived here, her husband taught her basic functions so that she could contact him.
Even though she never had any formal education, she could understand the symbols which were just letters and follow the sequence. It showed that she was smart, it's just her environnt was not rich enough for her to allow the luxury of education.
Ze worked so hard just because, he wanted his children to be able get educated and not have to struggle like him for years just to learn broken English. Even now, his accent was sotis so thick that people didn't understand him.
Samuel didn't know what to do so he just sat down only to be t by two curious pair of eyes who were looking at him from the kitchen door.
A pair of boy and girl evident by their hair and clothes but other than that they looked similar probably Ze's children. Maybe because they were young and small, both were cute enough to make his heart lt.
The boy stood tall and nudged his sister who seed be the younger on when he saw Samuel looking in their direction. The girl also noticed his gaze and shrank back behind his big brother but after few seconds, she poked out her heard to continue staring at him.
For this, Samuel ca prepared. He knew there were kids around so so sweets were a must but not just any sweets. These were handmade ones but he pulled the covers off and placed it in his large jacket pocket.
" Co here. I have a gift for you." He simply laid the sweets on the table and moved away a few ters. It was not right to lure them in with sweets but he could feel their anxiety.
Without sothing, they would not approach him especially the little girl who seed to be around sa age as Elise.
Her hair was braided beautifully like a princess and it evem reached down to her knees. With darker skin like Ze, her bright grey eyes shone even brighter which was big enough for anyone to get lost in them. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire
The boy was a head taller than the girl. His style was more boyish with a full black track suit. His complexion was more light like her mother and fortunately, both seed to inherit their mothers beauty genes.
The kids were smart they diid co closer but kept their distance. Samuel knew what they were thinking so he kept moving away from them until they took the next step toward the table.
This continued till they reached the table with the sweets. it was wrapped beautifully, even when most of the packaging was removed, the wrapper itself looked fancy.
Simce there was a picture drawn on it, they knew what it was but they weren't able to open it.
" Can I help you? I promise I will not do anything but you have to tell your nas in return. What do you say?" He tried to make a deal with them not knowing if they understood him.
They looked at him for a second before looking at the sweets on the table. The girl was already salivating and even the boy was trying to act tough but when she gave him the puppy eyes, Samuel knew the deal was done!
