DINTLE
Kumkani : ls everything okay with them?
Samkelo: Mkami are you okay...
Dintle (whispers) : No, l remember
Samkelo: what do you remember , is it about that night?
Dintle (nods) : Three years ago on November 16 , l had chosen to spend the day with my ex boyfriend ... when it was getting late l decided to go home you know what was usual ?
Melody : It was quiet ?
Dintle : Exactly it was quite , You know why ?
Melody : Maybe because there was no one home ...(shrugges)
Dintle: Let me rephrase it was three years ago on November 16 , l had been with my ex boyfriend the whole day instead of being with my family ...when l got home it was so quiet .
Anashe : Oh no...
Dintle : It's not because there was no one home , l got inside my family was right there lying lifeless on the cold floor ... swimming in a pool of blood .
l feel myself getting more angry , lm angry because something has triggered my insanity .
Samkelo : Breathe mkami breathe...
Dintle : No Samkelo no ...I saw my family lying dead on the floor , l heard a voice a man's voice even if l'd hear that voice from miles away l would recognize it with no don't at all ... but l never thought l would hear it again .
Kumkani : So in other words you've heard the voice now ?
Dintle: You .
l say pointing at Melody's man and he gasps .
Dintle: l know you the one who killed my family -
Melody : no don't you think you being harsh now .
Samkelo : Are you sure he's the one ?
Dintle : Call me crazy but l know this man has the very same voice of the man who had been talking to himself that day . I may have a mental illness but not a hearing problem okay !
l start crying ,when Samkelo tries to console me l move away towards this man
Dintle : Say something did you kill my family ?
Zoliswa: I don't even know who you are and you accusing me , don't you think you're mistaking me for someone else ?
Dintle: You've been quiet , guilt is slowly eating you ....You did I .
Start hitting him feeling the rage within me , the room starts to get smaller ...lm feeling hot all of the sudden l just want closure but this man is not saying anything to me . l feel someone pull me back it's Samkelo .
Melody : Please leave , everyone now !
Anashe : What is happening here ?
Melody : Just leave please .
Anashe: okay babe let's go , thanks for inviting us.
Samkelo carries me out like some pack of potatoes .
Samkelo : it's going to be okay .
He says before getting inside the car with me . I feel so empty perhaps l made a fool of myself and Melody probably thinks lm crazy.
