“Are you crazy? You could have gotten us killed by that ugly looking person” says Amo

“I am sorry, I did not mean to fall on him and he seems to be speaking another language different from ours, and besides he looked friendly”

I left him standing there, him looking in complete shook, he looked confused but I had to leave, I heard someone coming and I was right, it was my older brother Mooketse,

“We have been waiting for you Bontle, it’s time for introductions, and you know this and you not even ready” he says

“I know and I am sorry, I just got distracted by something”

My oldest brother is a very big tough guy, he looks like my father, broad shoulders, big eyes just like me, his dark and full of muscle, his the lead hunter in my village and all the ladies love him even though he has a wife and 3 children.

I get home and find everything prepared for me, my traditional clothes, and my sister in law ready to bath me which I hate.

“You look beautiful, your mother would be so happy” My sister in law Masego says, tearing up

“I don’t want to marry him sis, I feel like there is more to my life than just marriage, I know I have to, but I do not want to”
