She says side eyeing Mbuso

Mbuso: don't deceive her ,if she continue with this I will take her phone away

Mbuso: you will use your mind ,or borrow Buhle's phone when you want to do a research

Khosi: no I can't live a life of asking others their phones

Mbuso: I just remembered...Khosi today you were supposed to go to school

Khosi: you was suppose to drive me to school

Mbuso: you had to remind me 

Zakhona: you're skipping school?

Khosi: I thought my mom was too controlling but..(sigh) she's better than you guyz

A guy greets them 

Guy: sorry can I ask ,are you related or a couple

Zakhona:(with a smile) he is my brother

She says holding Mbuso's hand as he looks at her in a confused manner

Mbuso: what did you want

Guy: sorry my guy..your sister is so hot can I talk to her aside

Zakhona is smiling instead of forking this guy. It looks like she is enjoying seeing Mbuso jealous

Mbuso: can't you see she is pregnant? And has a ring on her finger

Guy:(chuckles) the ring is not glued to her finger ,it can come out 

Zakhona: sorry, I love my man and I don't think I want or need someone else expect him 

Guy: come on we can start by being friends

The guy says grabbing Zakhona's other hand

Mbuso clenches his jaws as he is putting his hands on his pockets

Mbuso:she told you I am her brother ,then what makes you have a right to court her infront of me 

Khosi is no longer here and they never noticed that 

Guy:(chuckles) can I talk to her ,I really asked her not you 

Mbuso folds a fist as Zakhona grabs his hand 

Zakhona: Uhm I don't want to talk to you...Mbuso let's go please 

She says grabbing Mbuso as they left w the trolley behind

Zakhona: Mbuso fighting is not a solution

Zakhona: yes you are my everything sthandwa sami ..you are my brother, boyfriend, soon to be husband, lover ,smile keeper .. everything nje

Mbuso: stop making me a fool

Zakhona:(laughs a little) I just wanted to hear what he wanted to say

Mbuso: obvious he was going to court you ,what else did you want to hear

Zakhona: that 

As she began to look around

Zakhona: Mbuso where is Khosi?

Mbuso: huh?(as he looks around)

Zakhona: come on let's look for her, I will go in that row and you go to that row

Mbuso: no you can't be alone ,you want more boys to keep courting you

Zakhona: Mbuso the baby's life is more important now than about boys

She says going for looking Khosi ..

It's been 10minutes long and Mbuso is more worried, he is not seeing both of them now 

He met a lady who works in this store and approach her

Mbuso: hey

Lady: hey sir how can I help you?

Mbuso: hey you look beautiful anyway I wanted to ask...have you seen a pregnant lady with a young girl 

Lady: is that not them 

The lady points the line of people next to them 

As he go to them 

Mbuso: Khosi where were you? 

He said hugging her 

Khosi: I was just looking around ,nothing much come on

Zakhona is not attending them ,as she is ready to go to the till 

Mbuso: what did you buy

Zakhona: you can see

When they were out of the store , Mbuso now wants them to go buy clothes

Mbuso: Zakhona your clothes don't fit you and you know that 

Zakhona nods as they got into the car driving to cloth store he is talking about. When they were done with the shopping ,all of them were tired and went straight to their house 

Khosi: at least I enjoyed my day instead of staying in this house for the whole day 

Zakhona: help me take the things from the car boot 

Mbuso: no I will help you 

He says as Khosi took the plastics of her clothes.They all went straight to their rooms cause Zakhona said she was too tired for cooking yena

.

Mbuso is lying on the bed and looking at what Zakhona is busy with

Mbuso: haw fit your new clothes for me phela

Zakhona: I am tired 

She says taking out her earings while looking at herself on the mirror. Mbuso stood and wraps his arms around her while they were standing infront of the mirror

Mbuso: you looked beautiful today 

Zakhona: mm just like her

Mbuso: like who

Zakhona: Haw Wena you never told told a girl besides me that she is beautiful?

Mbuso:(sigh) no, remind me

Zakhona: the girl from that store ,you said she is beautiful before asking for us ..I heard you 

She is not shouting but just speaking calmly ,as she takes Mbuso's arms off her and take out her clothes from her bag where she packed her clothes

Zakhona: I am going to change 

Mbuso: where are your pyjamas then? 

Zakhona: I forgot to pack them ,

She says closing the bathroom door as Mbuso sigh ,and went to Khosi's room 

She is lying on the bed and busy with her phone 

Mbuso: you're bored?

Khosi: too much ,I can't wait to go to the rurals maybe hearing sound of chickens and cows could clear the boredom

Mbuso:(chuckles) okay (he sits on the bed) what do you want us to do ...to clear the boredom

Khosi: give me attention

Mbuso: huh? Khosi we give you attention

Khosi: for me it's just like I am here to disturb the couple bonding

Mbuso: no you're not here to ..

Zakhona opens the door

Zakhona: let's go downstairs for eating 

She is wearing tracksuits and morning shoes

 Mbuso: mm we forgot to order food ,instead of starting from A ..and cook

Zakhona: there are cereals and noodles downstairs ,to hold the hunger for that certain time while I am cooking

Khosi get out of bed ,as she is ready to go downstairs

Mbuso: we will follow you

He says to Khosi ,as she sigh and leave them

Mbuso stands and holds Zakhona's waits

Mbuso: if that compliment to that girl made you feel not right. I am sorry 

Zakhona: okay ,now let me go 

Mbuso: haw stop just for a little bit ,

Zakhona: ufunani

Mbuso: I promise to never compliment another woman expect you okay?

Zakhona: I already heard you

Mbuso: prove that

Zakhona: if you don't believe me then it's fine ,I want to go cook them come back to sleep I am tired

She says releasing herself from him and leaves ,then Mbuso follows her

.

It's an hour later ,they cooked something quickly and they are already eating

Zakhona: Khosi which grade are you in

Khosi: grade 7

Zakhona: oh okay 

Khosi: thanks for the food

Mbuso: it's definitely deliciously delicious, I never knew you can cook like this

Zakhona nods and fakes a smile

They suddenly hear a hoot outside and Mbuso's phone beeps and quickly checks the massage ..it's Thabani, saying "we're outside"

He even forgot about the party he told him about ,and it's not like he was gonna attend it 

Mbuso: it's Thabani

Zakhona: who is Thabani

Mbuso: one of my best bro friends 

He says going to the door and opens ,as he went outside

Khosi: I will just go to sleep ..greet bhut Thabani for me 

She says leaving as Zakhona nods 

.

As Mbuso let them in ,and he goes to the car. There are girls in the car

Are they crazy??how can they even come at this fucken time and moment 

Mbuso: Thabani

Thabani: zithini? Are you no longer coming to the party?

Mbuso: no I am not ,there's my woman inside what's wrong with you

Thabani: oh you already got back together?

Mbuso: yes so please get the fucken out of my yard before she sees this 

Thabani: how can we leave without seeing her, my sister in-law

He says making his way into the house carrying a bottle of beer on his hand

One of the girls blows a kiss for Mbuso as he nods and clicks his tongue following Thabani

.

Zakhona was packing the plates from the table as she turns to them 

Thabani the three times whistles of complimenting

Thabani: Kant ubambe into enje

Zakhona: unjan

She says feeling awkwardly

Mbuso: sthandwa sami stop entertaining this one ,and go to sleep I will follow you in bed after few minutes later

Thabani: no no no ,you can't leave yet I am still telling you how hot you look my sister

Zakhona: thank you,..Uhm Mbuso let me go and wash the plates

She says leaving 

Mbuso:(whispering) Thabani please please my bro I am begging you..tell the girls to go away ,with you not to be here. This is not the right time for that 

Thabani: they cannot go without you, we still have a party to attend 

Mbuso: go celebrate that party I won't be attending it. You will ruin things for me mfeth

Thabani is a little bit drunk ,and that's why he doesn't understand the situation Mbuso is facing right now

Thabani go to the door and shows his head outside ,calling them to come in

As Mbuso panicked immediately ,what is he going to do? How will he explain this to Zakhona?

They are three of the girls ,as they come in with alcohol, and that made Zakhona hear that there are more people in the house not only them 

She appears in the dining room where they were sitting while Mbuso was standing

She stands looking at Mbuso to talk about what is happening

Mbuso:(stutters) these..these girls are not here for me 

Girl 1: I am so hungry ,... please dish up for us

Thabani: ee ee ee (popping his eyes out) 

Thabani: you already ruined the poor girl?

He says pointing Zakhona's belly

Mbuso comes to Zakhona
