ANASHE
We are seated in the lounge just watching some series and Samkelo is busy screaming "amanga" l can't help but laugh at his stupid self .
Samkelo : On a serious note how can these people act the things they do it's unbelievable l bet the writers of this story are witches there's no way a normal person can think of this .
Kumkani : That is why a person has an imagination bafo .
Anashe : And l think this is brilliant thinking to be able to imagine such and even have people. act out an imagination is really cool .
Samkelo : Hayi ngeke shame that's why l prefer documentaries , something thats real not imaginations .
l chuckle , where's the fun in that . l honestly think documentaries are creepy l know right very creepy than horror movies l tell you .
Samkelo : So awusho my sister nawe you want to be an actor of your own imagination or what .
Kumkani : You wish to know what she wants to be .
Samkelo : Yeah maybe l can fund her studies ...
He shrugges,what ?
Anashe : You being for real , you would do that for me ?
Samkelo : You my sister so why not ...
l can't help but feel emotional , being surrounded by these two man who seem to care for me .
Anashe : l really want to study business management but I never got to finish school because already at the age of 15 l had to work to stay alive with my grandma ...so l just hope someday l could go to college lf l could .
Kumkani : Would you like to go back to school though?
Anashe : Uhm lm not sure ...
Samkelo: You can do home schooling to you know ...what grade did you end at ?
Anashe : Grade ten .
l say playing with my hands it's kind of embarrassing .
Kumkani : You were fifteen in 10th grade wow , so l take it you didn't study for four terms but that's not a problem we will get you the best tutor and you will study online .
Samkelo: And it's still the beginning of the year so you can do this .
my tears flow , l can't hide the way lm so happy right now.
Samkelo: No don't cry please ...
Anashe: These are tears of joy brother (chuckles) l really don't know how to thank you guys .
l wrap my arms around their necks .
Samkelo (smirking) : One day you will know how .
Kumkani : Don't listen to him , there's no need to thank us ..we will be doing this because we want to okay.
l nod looking at both of them .
Samkelo: Okay , okay guys l need to go to my house l left my computer there l'll be back in a jiffy
Kumkani : Ungabe usabuya.
Samkelo : Anashe see Kumkani doesn't want me in his house ... tell him you want to spend some time with me coz his always uptight .
I just giggle ...l love their brotherly bond .
Anashe: Just go and make sure you come back .

He walks out
-
Dintle has been released and the transportation from the mental institution is driving her home , she keeps on giving them directions to where she stays
Dintle : Yes stop right there.
she says to the driver and he stops .
Dintle : Thank you .
Driver: No problem just take care of yourself .
Dintle : l'll do so bye .
she jumps out of the car and the car drives off .
Well she stood in front of the gate buzzing but no one came to open the gate so she decided to wait a little longer and after thirty minutes a black mustang stops infront of her .
A tall figure hops out of the car .
Dintle : Samkelo
she says with a low voice
Samkelo : And then ? what are you doing here ,is this where you stay ?
Dintle : lm sorry I just wanted to talk to you.
Samkelo: About what l -
he takes a deep breath remembering what Anashe said they did have a talk that he will need to face Dintle one day . And this this one of the day he has to face her.
He opens the gate .
Samkelo: Come in .
she follows behind Samkelo like a lost puppy.They enter and he threw himself on the sofa , Dintle just stood there not knowing what to do .
Samkelo: Please take a seat .
She nods finally seating .
Dintle: Uhm hey ....
Samkelo (chuckles) : Just say what you here for awuzelanga ipet talk angisho .
Dintle: Yeah uhm l just wanted to say sorry about everything , everything l put you through . You didn't deserve that . And l want to thank you for taking a stand in this whole situation , l went to the mental institution because of you and l indeed found help . lm getting better thank you .
Samkelo remains quiet and she sighs .
Dintle : l will understand if you haven't forgiven me but please find it in your heart to forgive me ...that's all l wanted to say .
she stood up and he didn't bother stoping her as she was about to walk outside the door he held her arm softly his eyes were now red .
Samkelo : Why didn't you tell me you have bipolar ?
Dintle : it was going to change nothing Samkelo you probably would've left me as soon as l told you .
Samkelo : I value honesty , l loved you but when you started showing me the crazy side you just became toxic for me . l wish l knew about your sickness because l would've helped from the get go .
Dintle sniffs wiping her now falling tears .
Dintle : What matters is you helped me at the end and l thank you for that , l just want to focus on bettering myself now and not endanger people with my sickness .
Samkelo : Ngyakuzwa .
Dintle : l must get going now it's getting late .
Samkelo: You going to Uber ?
Dintle : yes l got my phone .
Samkelo nods letting her go and she walks out , he's feeling somehow like he isn't whole at this moment .
