As i was about to open the kitchen door I heard two voices arguing, I listened attentively and it was my mother inlaw to be and my fiancée. There was so much anger and hatred in their conversation. I was so looking forward to meeting her for the very first time so I knocked out early to prepare my house so it can be homely for her. I just wanted to impress her and make our home comfortable for her and I came home early for the most uncomfortable conversation between mother and son. She kept on saying she is a single mother of kids with different fathers, Thabiso why would you want to marry such a loose girl? Keletso is the right girl for you and suddenly it was silent and I heard Thabiso whispering to his mother " let's talk about something else her car is outside mme hle".
Wow that's all the man who's marrying me in a couple of months has to say about this? He didn't even try to defend me. I was hurting but I needed to put on my fake smile and the "I just got here so I didn't hear anything act". But I studied drama as a hobby few years ago so this is going to be easy. I finally opened the door and walked to the sitting room with the brightest smile any drama student would flash even with a heavy heart. I thought she would Atleast pretend to like me just as I'm pretending to look happy to finally meet her. But her face turned red when she saw me and I was shocked to learn that Thabiso 's mother is an albino. Why didn't he ever mention this to me before? I've seen pictures of all his family except his mom's and his older brother, he would say they hate taking pictures with a passion but now this is shocking and even the drama diva mode in me fainted and I couldn't hide the fact that I'm shocked.
I snapped out of it after a few seconds and walked towards her to give her a "welcome to our home" hug and she pushed me back so hard I almost fell on my glass coffee table then she stood up just as fast and rushed to check if I'm okay as if she cares . Thabiso just stood there, he did nothing and said nothing...His mother then said "in our culture it's an abomination for makoti to hug mmatswale, are you okay? Please forgive me " did this woman just say abormination? Which culture is she even talking about?perhaps she meant the "evil mothers inlaw society nxla in my house nogal? Nxlah boloi (nxla witchcraft)... and I could tell from the tone of her voice that she wasn't sorry at all but I pulled my self together and decided to play along before I commit murder in my house,I stepped away from her and decided to smile and nod my head " I'm okay mme,I'm sorry but Thabiso didn't warn me about the culture" I sat next to Thabiso but Lord knows I just wanted to go all ratchet on her. Then Thabiso 's phone rang and BANG the caller ID was written "Keletso "....
