Mthunzi : hayy Bafo angazi uqamukephi mina ngavele ngam shayisa ..

Mthunzi explains to his brother , Bhekisizwe over the phone

Bheki : So is she okay ?

Mthunzi : yes , she is just unconcious

Bheki : that's good , I would pull up but I'm busy here

Mthunzi : busy with what ? Were we not supposed to pull up at church ??

Bheki : uh-uh not me , Sbonelo and you

Mthunzi : come on !

Bheki : hayi Bafo , sharp

He sighs

Mthunzi : sharp

He hungs up & takes the medicine given to him by the nurse , it will give the girl less pain what's her name again ...Lira..something like that , he brushes it off and walk to the ward

Mthunzi : here is her medicine , it will probably make her feel better quicker

Gontse takes the medicine & place it on top of the bed , they share a 2 seconds eye contact but Gontse breaks it by looking down at her sister

Mthunzi : how old are you?

Gontse looks at him

Gontse : why ?

Mthunzi : I just want to know

Gontse : I'm 20

Mthunzi : and her ?

Gontse : 24

He nods ; these girls are so pretty & packed!!

Gontse : how old are you ?

Mthunzi : a man never tells his age

Gontse rolls her eyes

Gontse : you call yourself a man ?

Mthunzi : what am I? A doll ?

Gontse : a ant !

He chuckles

Mthunzi : have you ever seen a Ant built as fine as me ?

Gontse : who said you are fine ?

Mthunzi : your Grandmother

Gontse : how Dare you ?

Mthunzi : how dare not me ?

Gontse : you disrespectful little Ant

Mthunzi : oh shut up

She stands up he just stares down at her , she is so short

Mthunzi : look how short you are ...with so much attitude it doesn't suit you

Gontse : you don't get to tell me what suits me

Mthunzi : sure I do get to put your short ass on top of the fridge and leave you there right?

Lerato is lost in Mthunzi's handsomeness as he argues with her little sister , his voice his tallness his dark eyes his big body...just everything about him...

Mthunzi : oh you are awake

He snaps Lerato out of her thoughts , Gontse turns to her sister and gasp hugging her carefully not to hurt her

Lerato : I'm alive Gontse ...

Gontse : I thought you left me

Lerato : I'm alive baby relax

Mthunzi just stares at them with a smile hidden , this is beautiful to watch how they love each other ...he doesn't want to ruin it ...he knows if one gets in the family or in a relationship with him , it would break this beautiful bond

Mthunzi : Hi

Lerato : hi

Mthunzi : how are you feeling?

Gontse : I'll go check on koko okay ?

Lerato nods and Gontse leaves them

Lerato : feels like I've been thrown under a bus

Mthunzi : ( chuckles ) I'm sorry , I really wasn't focused on the road

Lerato : neither was I , I'm sorry to get you in this mess

Mthunzi : what matters now is you okay right ?

Lerato : ( nodded ) yes , definitely

She smiles , he returns it

Mthunzi : Mthunzi ...

Lerato : Lerato

Mthunzi : Lirato?

Lerato : ( giggled ) no , Lerato like Leee

Mthunzi : I'll stick to Lira , I can't say it

Lerato : whatever may be

They both laugh , Gontse is standing outside...somehow she is feeling jealous of her sister talking with this Mthunzi , but why would she ?? He's just a man that knocked her sister out

Mthunzi : can I get your number ? Because we might go our different ways from now on I wanna constantly check If you are okay

Lerato : uhm sure

He gives her his phone and she punches her number in it

Mthunzi : save them as future wife

Lerato : hebana ?

Mthunzi : please , you will be my wife pretty soon

She laughs saving the number and giving him his phone back , he takes it

Mthunzi : thank you again I'm sorry

Lerato : it's okay I'm sorry too

Mthunzi : once you get better I'll take you out that okay ?

Lerato : okay
