The gangster girl:

Insert 74:

Zakhona has a very painful flue ,she had been in her house since from yesterday and Mbuso decided to go to her house.

He found no one in the dining room as he made his way upstairs and kept hearing Zakhona's moans in pain

He peeps in the room as she saw Zakhona wrapped in a blanket and covered her face with a blanket 

Mbuso:(in whisper) babe?

Zakhona: Mbuso go away I don't want to see you or be with you 

He got into the room and closed the door ,as he sat on the bed 

Mbuso: what's wrong?

Zakhona:I said leave (sniffing)

Mbuso: I can't leave you crying like this ,tell me what's wrong?

Zakhona: I don't know I have headache, my eyes hurt ,my nose are blocked ,my whole body hurts and feels tired

Mbuso: oh you're sick ,let me sit with you then 

As he got undercovers and put Zakhona's head on his lap and kept brushing her forehead

Mbuso: have you eaten?

Zakhona shakes her head saying "no"

Mbuso: you have to eat 

Zakhona: I am not hungry

Mbuso: you will not heal if you don't eat your food ,you have to eat 

Zakhona: I said I am not hungry 

Mbuso: you will eat I am telling you ,not begging you

Zakhona: Mbuso we need to talk about something serious (sniffing)

Mbuso: what is that 

Zakhona raise her head up and face him

Zakhona: why you slept with Sihle?

Mbuso:(sigh) you see what I mean? You always want us to fight 

Zakhona: how can you say I always want us to fight while you always cheat on me? (Moving off from him)

Zakhona: Mbuso I am sick and tired! I have been ignoring your cheating for too long ,how many times you cheated on me?

Mbuso: you're sick you shouldn't be shouting 

Zakhona: if you didn't want me to.always shout then you wouldn't have hurted my feelings

Mbuso:(sigh) Zakhona I am not here to fight with you ,I am here just to see you 

Zakhona: see me my foot? Let me promise you this ,if I ever found that you and Sihle had sex and that she got pregnant ,she will regret the day she was born. I will make sure she doesn't survive ,that she is kind of my sis doesn't mean anything now

Mbuso: your sis?

Zakhona: yes! She is my cousin ,you know that she is the only family I am left with? And now you ,the father of my children have slept with her ,how am I supposed to feel?

Mbuso:(coughs a little) I never knew she was your cousin

Zakhona: even if she wasn't ,that doesn't give you a right to cheat on me with my neighbour

She got up the bed and took out her gun from the drawer as she showed Mbuso 

Zakhona: I last used this 2yrs ago ,but the day I find her it will be reused again 

Mbuso: stop saying that 

Mbuso got up the bed as he tried coming closer to Zakhona as she pointed him with the gun

Zakhona: don't come closer to me ,don't 

Mbuso: you can't kill me 

Zakhona: I can ,you don't want to see what I am capable of doing do you?

Mbuso: if you want to kill her then which family will you be left with 

Zakhona: stop asking me stupid questions and get out of here ,

Mbuso: sthandwa sam ...(coming closer to her)

Zakhona: fuseg get out 

Mbuso: don't say that to me 

Zakhona: or what? Am I scared of you?I am not scared of anyone ,get out of here 

Mbuso: (clenching his jaws) okay when should I come back 

Zakhona: come back for what?

Mbuso: oh you mean it's over between us?

Zakhona: (sniff) you are the one deciding ,I don't care 

Mbuso: okay ,call me when you are ready to face me and we can fix things (he left)

As Zakhona started wailing in her room .

Mbuso went straight to the club cause he was so stressed and had stress. Like ...how can he do this? How can he be this foolish?those were the questions in his head 

He was drinking until he was drunk ,girls kept throwing themselves on him but rejected them ,until Andiswa came to him 

Mbuso: Andiswa I am not in a mood for that ,I am dating Zakhona now so I don't want to.cheat on..

Andiswa: no I am not here for that ,I am not here to seduce you like I always did ,I am here to say my goodbyes 

Mbuso raised his eyebrows ,and stood as he grabbed Andiswa's hand for them to go outside.

They stood outside ,as he looked at her to start talking

Mbuso: to say your goodbyes?

Andiswa had a black colour under her eyes and even lost weight. That means losing her baby really stressed her 

Andiswa: I got a job offer somewhere ,in another place and not here

Mbuso: so you're leaving for the job

Andiswa: yes ,I now want to live my life ,a clean life actually I want to start on a clean slate

Mbuso:mm ,so where are you going?

Andiswa: I am sorry but I can't tell you the name of the place ,cause I don't want my old life people to keep coming back in my new life ,I want to start a new life with new people

Mbuso: Zakho.. sorry Andiswa ,sorry I mixed up your name with Zakhona just that theres a lot in my mind

Andiswa nods in understanding

Mbuso: i wanted to say ,it's not like I am gonna follow you I just want to know 

Andiswa: I know you won't follow me but as I said ...I want to start a new life ,with new people

Mbuso:(sigh) come here 

They hugged 

Andiswa: goodbye
