Insert 18:

It was 16pm ,Mbuso drove to Zakhona's place ,he found her sitting on the couch drinking wine

Mbuso: hey

Zakhona:hey

They have been getting along these days and that's why Mbuso thought his plan is working

He sat on the couch next to her

Mbuso: there's something you need to promise me

Zakhona: what is that (took out her cigarette , lighted it and smokes just infront of Mbuso)

Mbuso: I didn't know you're also smoking, you're really a gangster girl

Zakhona didn't answer as she kept taking a puff and exhaling it

Mbuso: Uhm... Tommorow ,ingane zasekhaya are going back to school

Zakhona:(stopped smoking) huh? Those are good news

Mbuso: yeah but not for you

Zakhona: mxm (took a puff )

Mbuso: I need you to do me a favour ,look at me

Zakhona turned her face slowly as they made an eye contact

Mbuso held her hands

Mbuso: please ... please just do it for me

Zakhona's eyes were stucked in Mbuso's eyes

Mbuso stopped the staring and Zakhona also did

Zakhona: what do you want me to do for you

Mbuso: please ...help me keep them safe

Zakhona: help you? Are you crazy?

Mbuso: the only way you can do that is to not plan something that can harm them ,just please

Zakhona: mxm ,let go of my hands then

Mbuso let her hands go ,he moved and sat on the same couch as her ,he sat next to her as he held her hands again

Mbuso: please

Zakhona didn't know what to say ,but deep inside she felt like agreeing to what Mbuso was saying

Mbuso: look at me ,if you look at me straight in my eyes ,you'll see the begging

Zakhona: who said I can read your eyes

Mbuso: you can ,just look at me

Zakhona: no ,you just let my hands go and stop thinking you can fool me

Mbuso: fool you? I am not fooling you ,what are you talking about?

Zakhona: okay it's fine Mbuso ,I won't do anything to harm them

Mbuso: promise me

Zakhona stucked for seconds

Zakhona:f...fine...I...I.. promise

Mbuso attacked her with a hug

Mbuso: thank you ,(kissed her cheek)

As he took the glass of wine and took a sip ,then left

Zakhona: did he just hug me ? And kiss my cheek?
