CHAPTER FOURTEEN

 

 

The Beauty of Nature

 

 

Together Nobuhle and Rossi joined a group of different tourists at the popular sunset musical concert in Cape Town. From the eastern slope of Table Mountain, people gathered in the magnificent Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. On one side were a number of dining tables arranged beautifully around a musical band. The guitarist played a couple of strings resonating into the pristine fynbos flora and evergreen forest that stretches across the stunning landscape. The hotel manager from JoziStar went in front of the band and everybody. He asked the guitarist to allow him a minute to welcome everyone. He reflected on the significance of the historical occasion to South Africa tourism and his hotel as the event sets the beginning of summer. The band singer pulled forward with her two exotic dancers. An up and coming Afro pop band from Cape Town. The beautiful song began, arousing the guitarist more than anyone. Their music was highly regarded as soulful and exciting Cape Town beat. In the same time, Jay-Jay and Mr. Noel were on their way heading for the garden. The two men had become friends and managed to find Nobuhle's mother in their effort to surprise their friend. Back in the garden, the hotel manager went back on stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, that was Yolanda, the finest and youngest musical group in Cape Town. Now allow me to introduce our lovely young woman Nobuhle." Everyone applauded as Nobuhle joined the manager and received the mic. The Ghanaian couple gave her a big hand. "Thank you." She said. At last Mr. Noel arrived in the garden with Nobuhle’s mother. Jay-Jay followed them behind. "Kirstenbosch was established in 1913 to promote, conserve and display the extraordinary rich and diverse flora of Southern Africa. It's the first botanical garden in the world to be devoted to a country's indigenous flora." Nobuhle read while her mother, Mr. Noel and Jay-Jay stood in the background admiring her. "This garden displays a wide variety of the unique plant life of the Cape Flora. A home to over 7000 plants including many rare and threatened species. All of which are capable of contributing to an improved quality of life for all South Africans, and everyone in South Africa." At his table Rossi sat sternly as Nobuhle noticed her mother in the crowed and continued. "I want to use this opportunity to say. It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from or if you're black or white. Kirstenboch is opened every day for everyone to appreciate, and enjoy the exceptionally rich plant and animal life of South Africa. Clearly, everyone was excited as Nobuhle said those words. The hotel guests all cheered at her. Her manager, Mr. Noel and Jay-Jay gave her a big hand of applauds. "Thank you." Nobuhle said and the band singer took stage. Moved by Nobuhle’s words the guitarist aggressively pulled a couple of very expressive strings. The Ghanaian couple got up and started dancing to the music. Jay-Jay also enjoyed the music while Mr. Noel went on and on saying something to the ear of Nobuhle’s mother with big smiles. Nobuhle and Rossi left the crowed and proceeded walking down a serene footpath for exploring the garden. "You know when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with some who appreciates you " "You want it to start as soon as possible." Rossi added "The doctor said I'll be fine. If I take care of myself." Nobuhle told him as they walked down the garden slowly disappearing into the sunset. "So how may I help you?" he asked "You love me don't you?" Nobuhle responded jovially. "You don't think that's going to change cause you're HIV positive do you?" "No. I don't think so. Not anymore." she replied stopping to face him for another moment of her life. "I bet you want to go horse riding as often as you can." "Yes but not without you... holding me..." She said in a soft voice as Rossi pulled closer to her. "And now?" he asked admiring her lovely face and her charming neckline. "Kiss me. My neck." Nobuhle whispered "You’re making it worse." Rossi responded starting to kiss her. "You’re never going to change are you?" he asked smiling "At least I’m happy now." Nobuhle replied "We’re all happy." "Yes we are." she added and finally the whisper of their voices faded into the sky
