The gangster girl: 

Insert 82:

Mbuso drove to Zakhona's house,and was stuck at the gate because of the bodyguards stopping him from coming in

Bodyguard 1: firstly Madam said we mustn't let you in and secondly she is not here

Mbuso: where is he

Bodyguard 2: at the boxing warehouse

Bodyguard 1: you ,the madam didn't give us the permission to keep telling people that she has joined boxing 

Mbuso:(clenches jaws) she left and went to play boxing again?I told her not to ,this thing will affect my baby

Bodyguard 1: baby ?

The two bodyguards look at each other confused

Bodyguard 2: you impregnated her

Mbuso:(sigh) i am not here to chit chat with you ,I want to talk to her ,give me the location of where she is 

Bodyguard 2: we can't do that ,I still too young to die for something little like this 

 Mbuso: then I will wait for her 

Bodyguard 2: rather wait for her I wonder how long are you gonna wait cause maybe she will be in her warehouse today celebrating her...

Bodyguard 1: shhh ,you are too talkative 

Mbuso: mxm I don't care with your silly talking ,let me go wait for her in the car 

He left them talking as he got into his car and turned on his phone ,being busy with it 

An hour later ,he is already asleep inside the car ,even snoring ,he was woke up by the sound of someone knocking at the window. When he opened his eyes it was Zakhona looking so confused ,as he pulls down the window of the car 

Mbuso:(yawning) sthandwa sami 

Zakhona: I am not your sthandwa ,futh what do you want here 

Mbuso:(rubbing his eyes)ngize kuwe maka Owethu 

He says holding her hands 

Zakhona: come out from the car then and again..let go of my hands

She says pulling her hands back to her ,while Mbuso got out of the car and stretches himself

Mbuso: let's go inside ,when did you arrive ?

Zakhona: just now 

Mbuso:mm ,ey..I fell asleep in the car waiting for you 

They got inside as they went to sit on the couch. Zakhona knew that Mbuso has something serious to say

Zakhona: let's talk ,what's wrong 

Mbuso: Zakhona what makes you be stubborn like this? I asked you very well to stop boxing ,it will affect our baby please

Zakhona:(sigh) I didn't ,I wasn't there to play boxing 

Mbuso: mxm anyway I am here for a request  

Zakhona: sure talk

Mbuso: hay Wena stop saying sure to me

Zakhona: why (being confused)

Mbuso: you are making it sound like I am one of your buddies

Zakhona:(laughs a little) mxm

Mbuso: I wanted to ask if you buried Khaya's body or burnt it. 

Zakhona: ..(sigh) I buried it 

Mbuso:(nods) mm where ,

Zakhona: aw Mbuso ,

Mbuso: it's his birthday today ,and we have to do something honourable for him, since we couldn't make his funeral honourable

Zakhona closes her eyes as she sigh and opens the again ,she then stood and sit next to Mbuso and holded his hands making him look at her

Zakhona:(nodding) fine ,I will show you his grave but not today okay?

Mbuso: why not today 

Zakhona: it's my birthday ,I want to celebrate it with my squad ,tonight in this house 

Mbuso: Zakhona you didn't tell me it's your birthday

Zakhona: shh for now lets focus on making Khaya's birthday a good day , please come here 

Opening her arms

Mbuso: I don't want to be in your arms 

Zakhona: then where

Mbuso: you know (looking at her lips)

Zakhona: Mbuso come on this is just a comfort hug nothing more 

Mbuso: yeah it will also be a comfort kiss nje 

Zakhona: mxm ,this is the second time you deny a hug from me did you notice that 

Mbuso side smile

Mbuso: please come her 

He grabs her chin to look at him ,as they engage into a deep kiss and Zakhona responded

Seconds pass and Mbuso pulls out

Mbuso: happy birthday

Zakhona: thank you 

They hugged ,as Mbuso was smiling

Zakhona's pov: 

The squad just arrived ,I already prepared the braai stand ,I want to enjoy my day with my family ,yes they are the only family I have ..or should I say ,I had 

I brought all types of alcohol that I ain't gonna drink Shem ,I will not eat braai meat and make cheers with one bottle 

.

I am in my trecksuits that I was wearing when i was at the shops in the morning , please don't ask me about the kiss ...I just responded because it's my birthday and to comfort him. I really feel his loss ,Khaya was still young and I know it's all my fault none of this would have happened.

I am in my room ,busy looking at myself in the mirror " +1?"

I decided to take my phone and go downstairs ,they are all busy walking around and I don't know what are they doing.

Zakhona: Cindy , please let's all gather at the lounge 

We all gathered there

Zakhona: I appreciate all the love you guyz show to me ,I love all of you and appreciate you. If I die ,I want you all to know that you really made me proud ,there's no day where you refused doing what I am telling you to do...eish I don't even know what to say (they laugh) I am not used to speeches ,let's just say cheers 

I take the bottle of Savanah on the table ,it's so cold ,and we have a toast 

I don't know what happened but I opened it and drank all of it
