Zakhona: huh?

Mbuso: promise me 

Zakhona shifts away from him,as she looked at him in a suprise

Zakhona: how can you suspect me of that? How can I kill my baby and if I wanted to kill my babies why I killed one and not two of them?Answer me

Mbuso: sthandwa I am sorry I was wrong ,I shouldn't have said that 

Zakhona: ay Futsek nxx 

 (Folding her arms)

Mbuso: usuyangithuka manje? [You are now insulting me?]

Zakhona: and I can even repeat it ,nje uyangidakelwa

 Mbuso: Zakhona stop saying ngiyakudakelwa 

Zakhona: you are 

Mbuso:(clench his jaws) stop saying that ,I am not ...

Zakhona: Masimbakho ke (she sleeps)

Mbuso opened his mouth wide open in a suprise

Mbuso: Zakhona you said what? You said Masimbakho to me?

Zakhona didn't even bother herself to answer as she pretended to be snoring already

It's early in the morning, Zakhona is fixing Zakhona's bags ,so that she can wake up and prepare for them to leave .

She woke up ,rubbing her eyes and yawning, Mbuso's face is frowned because of yesterday I guess

Zakhona:(yawning) morning 

Mbuso: morning ,go take a bath so we can leave 

Zakhona: mm already? I wanna eat i am soooo hungry ,I am craving for pizza so bad

Mbuso: already having cravings?

Zakhona: yeah ,

Mbuso: mm ,go bath and I'll get you some pizza 

Zakhona: thank...thank you (she notices that Mbuso is mad at her)

She woke up with her pyjamas ,and went to him , wrapping her hands on his waist

Zakhona:(smiling) what's wrong?

Mbuso: nothing,you are the one noticing something wrong

Zakhona: Mbuso talk to me hawu

Mbuso: mxm you pretend like you don't know what you did yesterday

Zakhona:(acting confused) what did I do?

Mbuso: ungithukile [you insulted me]

Zakhona: (chuckles) oh that 

As she moves from him and made her way to the bathroom 

After 20mins of a shower ; it wasn't that long ,she came back with a towel wrapped around her 

Mbuso is sitting on the bed ,eating his food

Zakhona: ngyaxolisa [I am sorry]

Mbuso continues eating ,as Zakhona went to sit next to him ,holding his lap ,

Zakhona: I am sorry ,

Mbuso: your pizza is there (pointing it on the table)

Zakhona: I can see a pizza and I want it so bad right now but ...say you forgive me 

Mbuso: weZakhona we are gonna be late ,eat or dress up first 

Zakhona sigh and take her clothes, and went to the bathroom, she couldn't dress infront of Mbuso, she came back and attacked the pizza

She was eating like it was a long time she last eaten 

As Mbuso was sitting on the chair and busy with his phone

Zakhona: I am like this ,as you know I am a gangster girl so...everytime when I am angry I feel like saying insulting words 

Mbuso: mm okay 

Zakhona: haibo Mbuso I said I am sorry ,how long are you gonna be so mad at me

Mbuso puts his phone on his lap 

Mbuso: when you say sorry well

Zakhona: but I am saying sorry 

Mbuso: that is not a sorry ,you are just saying it because I am angry at you 

Zakhona: I was wrong I should have said those words , please forgive me baba wenganezami [father of my children] oh ...sorry I mean baba wenganeyami [father of my child]

Mbuso: come here (smiling)

Zakhona: for what nowM

Mbuso: I forgive you ,now come here

Zakhona: thanks for forgiving me ,now ...no need to come there 

Mbuso: I am not gonna bite

Zakhona:(rolls eyes) fine 

She walks towards Mbuso 

Mbuso: sit here (soft slapping his lap)

Zakhona: haibo for what again

Mbuso: I am not gonna kiss you or do anything to you 

She sits slowly 

Mbuso: that's it ,now ..(making an eye contact ) I wanted to tell you ,never wear white again ,never wear another colour expect black 

Zakhona: what?

Mbuso: take that off,

Zakhona: I hate black now! It makes me feel ugly

Mbuso: ayy this pregnancy is ruining you Shem ,get your ass off my lap and lets go 

Zakhona stood up ,and laugh a little in disbelief ,then took her bags ,they left ,on their way in the car ...it was so silence ,Zakhona was just facing the window side ,looking at the view of the way 

Mbuso: what will be the name of our baby

Zakhona:(Turns to him smiling) huh? Already?

Mbuso: yes ,

Zakhona: you name it 

Mbuso: don't say it ,she's a girl I know 

Zakhona: (laughs a little) okay Mr predictor

Mbuso: she will be Owethu

Zakhona: why 

Mbuso: cause she's ours 

Zakhona: (smiling)I love it ,the second name will be named by me ,when she is born ,i wanna see the gender first 

Mbuso: okay mama (placing his hand on her stomach)

While continuing to drive 

Zakhona: mama ?

Mbuso: what's wrong ,you don't want me to call you like that?

Zakhona: let me ask? Are we back together?

Mbuso: did we ever break up?

Zakhona chuckles shaking her head as they continue with the way 

He dropped Zakhona off her house and left ,

It has been a long journey for her ,but she is now making sure that she maintains healthy life,the doctors gave her many pills,medicines she can't even remember the function of them.

She called Cindy

Zakhona: how is the plan going Kant? You have been quite
