I'm really bad at forgetting to upload, so the rest will be up this weekend (18-26) and thanks to everyone who has read it so far.


Chapter Fifteen


I heard the door open to my sister’s room. I sat up immediately, and Miele did the same after pausing the movie we were watching. She was smiling and I had never seen her so happy. I asked her so how did your tarehe go? She grabbed a ponytail holder to tie up her hair as she alisema it was amazing and he proposed. The three of us squealed loudly as she showed us her engagement ring after our hug. She told every little detail from where he took her and all the steps leading up to the proposal. She got changed into her pajamas and quickly joined our party. The three of us ate junk, taka food, watched movies, and just caught up. I knew I missed my sister when she wasn’t here, but I can tell now that the three of us will we be closer than ever. As the night came to an end, I realized I’m not letting anything hurt my family ever again.


Chapter Sixteen


In the morning the three of us got up together. We decided we would spend the whole siku shopping and just doing stuff sisters do. The three of us took our kiti, kiti cha at the meza, jedwali wear our parents, Helia, and Ms. Faragonda. I smiled as my sister and Helia told the news of their engagement. Mom and dad were thrilled and gave them hugs before moving onto the subject of the engagement party. Mom came up with the idea for it to be a black and white theme ball on Friday night while inviting all of Linphea and the royals from all the realms. Flora agreed and Helia alisema as long as it makes her happy I don’t care. I was excited because that meant we could go buy new ball gowns, so after finishing our meal we called for the limo to take to the mall. We went to a dress duka and as soon as we walked in we each found a dress we fell in upendo with immediately. Miele’s was a short bubble white dress with a purple sash that tied in the back. My dress was a chai party length retro style white dress with a sweetheart neckline and a purple orchid on the waistband. While Flora’s dress was a sweetheart neckline, form fitted, floor length, and black with a small pink belt. After buying our dresses, we hit all the little boutiques, the salon and the chakula court before heading back nyumbani with our many shopping bags. Back at the palace we head back up to my sister’s room. I looked at my sister and something was wrong, so I sat on the kitanda and asked sis, what’s wrong wewe don’t seem yourself? She sat inayofuata to me along with Miele before replying I’m worried about this party. What happens if my Marafiki think that I just ditched them and don’t want to be my Marafiki again? I looked at the concern in her eyes before saying sis, they are your best Marafiki and they will welcome wewe back with open arms because I’m sure if they were in your shoes the same would have happen. She smiled and gave me a hug as she alisema thanks for being such a great sis and being strong for everyone. The three of us then talked forever before cleaning up and heading down to dinner. After that the night came to an abrupt end, I stayed in my sister’s room again because the only way someone is going to get to her is over my dead body.


Chapter Seventeen


I woke up to the sound of laughter. I scanned the room before noticing my sister and soon to be brother-in-law watching TV together. I threw a mto at them and alisema could wewe two upendo birds keep it down over there? The two blushed for a moment before Flora threw the mto back at me and alisema good morning to wewe too sunshine. At that point all three of us laughed. I sat up and asked so what are the plans for today. Flora flipped her hair over her shoulder before saying mom alisema we get to start planning the party. From the decorations to the chakula which will take all of today and tomorrow. I sighed at I undid the braid in my hair to put my hair up in a ponytail before heading to my room to get dressed. As much as I upendo parties, I really hate planning them. Also balls are the worst because everyone always has a tarehe to dance with and I only have myself to dance with. I really hope someday I can find someone who loves me as much as Helia loves my sister. I sigh as I pull on a white sundress with a pink rose on the waist with white sandals before heading down to the ballroom. For the first two hours we tasted probably about fifty different meals, then we got to look at like a thousand different draperies, meza, jedwali cloths, napkins and center pieces, and once that was over we got to listen to every available band and DJ. Once the clock stroke seven o clock, we all headed to kitanda early because of the stressful siku of making sure everything is where it needs to be for the ball two days from now.
