Insert 24:

Mbuso had no choice but to leave the door unlocked

An hour later ,Zakhona woke up ,rubbing her eyes

Zakhona: how can he cover me with the blanket instead of helping me to my room ,eish...my head is aching,and this couch also made my neck painfull

She woke up ,took her phone and checked the time ,

Zakhona:(sniffs)its late

She went upstairs,changed into her pyjamas ,went to open the drawer for her pills

Zakhona:argh they're not here

She took the one in her pockets ,it was the "something" that she was checking in her pocket hiding from Mbuso when he was in the kitchen

She chew them ,they weren't tasting bad

She went to sleep

It was morning already...

Yesterday Mbuso came late in his home

Zakhona woke up ,it was 8am ,she went to bath and wore a tighting black t-shirt and her black short ,with her socks that are also back ,and put on her white morning shoes ,with her gown ,

Today she wasn't preparing to go out ,she made bread,eggs and a tea ,she ate ,just as when she was eating she heard a knock on the door ,it was Mbuso

Mbuso: hey

He attacked her with a hug ,Zakhona didn't even bother herself to hug him back she has

no energy

Mbuso: you're so hot (touching her forehead) your temperature is too high Zakhona what's going on ?

Zakhona:(sniffs) morning Mbuso

Mbuso: eish the way i am worried i even forgot to greet ,morning ,how did you sleep

Zakhona:good

They went to sit on the couch Zakhona's eyes were sleepy

Zakhona: why do you keep visiting me ,i don't like visitors when i'm sick ,i even told Kholeka not to come for this week

Mbuso: well i cant stop checking you while i know you're sick

Zakhona: mxm (sips tea)

Mbuso: shorts suit you ,but its cold to go out wearing them dont you think

Zakhona:today i'm indoors

Mbuso: mm okay

Zakhona:yeah

Mbuso laughs a little

Zakhona: why you're laughing ,is there something wrong

Mbuso: no it's just that you're more beautiful when you're sick

Zakhona:mxm

Mbuso: serious

Zakhona: thanks but I know

Mbuso: let me help you

Zakhona: with what

He took the plate ,cut the egg into pieces

Mbuso: say Ah

Zakhona: Mbuso come on

Mbuso: you come on

Zakhona:(laughs a little and sniffs) you know ,I can see you , pretending like you care for me while I know very well that you're busy planning something against me

Mbuso sigh ,as he puts the egg back to the plate

Mbuso: I care ... I mean...I think I now care ,at first I didn't but now I think we can try and be friends at least , please

Zakhona: I'll never be friends with you ,put that in mind

Mbuso: okay ,can I ask

Zakhona: sure you can ,only if it's not a stupid question

Mbuso:(smiles) is it true that you wanted my sister to come live with you

Zakhona: mxm , I wasn't serious when I said that ,who told you

Mbuso: Khosi ,you scared her you know ,she couldn't even sleep alone In her room ,she slept with me holding me so tight

Zakhona:(laughs a little) really

Mbuso nods

Zakhona started coughing

Mbuso: let me get you some water

Zakhona: wait (coughs) all I need right now is my pills ,( she puts her hand in her pockets )

Zakhona: arghh my pills !

Mbuso: what's wrong with them

Zakhona: these ones I kept in my pocket are finished ,and I can't see the other ones(coughs)

Mbuso looks down suspiciously ,and worriedly also guilty

Zakhona kept coughing and Mbuso didn't know what to do

Zakhona: please don't tell anyone about my pills

Mbuso: no let me just get you water

He rushed to the kitchen ,came back and help her drink the water

Mbuso: Zakhona ...can I ask ,what are the pills for

Zakhona: thats a stupid question ,of course pills are for sicknesses

Mbuso:like I mean ...what sickness do you have

Zakhona: I don't think that's your business ,all I have to make sure is that I don't die without getting revenge

Mbuso: die? What do you mean

Zakhona swallows hard as she looks down ,tears fell from her eyes

Mbuso: shh ,it's fine you don't have to talk about it

He side hugs her ,Just at that moment ... Bobby let himself in

Zakhona wipes her tears quickly as she stood up

Zakhona: Bobby

Bobby: bosslady ,is it back

Zakhona nods

Bobby: don't worry ,you'll be fine soon ,just like always

Zakhona attacked Bobby with a hug ,and for seconds Bobby pulls out

Bobby: can I ask ,who will take over during your absence ,like i mean ,Minny is gone...

Zakhona: you can take over

Bobby:(with a smile) what? Thank you so much bosslady ,I promise I won't let you down

Mbuso was just watching them with his hands tucked in his pockets

Zakhona: (whispers) Kholeka ..

Bobby: noted Bosslady (he left)

Zakhona turns to Mbuso

Mbuso: so ...the sickness usually happens

Zakhona: can you leave please ...I want to be alone

Mbuso: I can't do that ,I can't leave you

Zakhona: come on just leave ,

Mbuso:no I won't

Zakhona: Mbuso whats wrong with you

Mbuso: nothing ,i just care

Zakhona: if you care then listen to me

Mbuso: what

Zakhona: leave for goodness sake

Mbuso: okay okay okay (raises his hands in surrender)

As he left , Zakhona release a big sigh

Zakhona: god just let me finish with them , before you take me
