At the reception
_-Narrated the family has made it to the hospital , waiting to go do a body review on gogo and Mkhulu . This news just shattered most of them as they remember when they last saw them at the BRAAI well expect Auntie and Uncle who couldn't wait to get Nomathemba and get out of this place.
"let's go " says the Doctor
they all stand up following the doctor until they get to the end of the room
"so are you going to go in as a family or one by one"
Auntie:"as a family"
everyone else agrees as they enter the room . The doctor uncovers them
Ma'Sthe :"oh no ..." she says wailing out loud as Jim takes her into his arms "it can't be them look they look awful"
Uncle just stares at them without a sting of regret whilst Auntie kinda feels hurt but they had no other choice they had to go on with the plan
Auntie:"l can take it anymore " she says faking tears "can we go out now"
They all drag each other out they find the doctor waiting outside
Auntie:can we see the grandchild "
Doctor:'"ye...."
MaSthe :"grandchild my foot are you referring to that hoe"
Jim :"kanti why wasn't she in the car with them when it happened"
the doctor gasps shocked of how they speak of Nomathemba , they're not even afraid to show their hate towards the girl infront of people
Uncle:"Mam please take us to her " he says to the doctor " Nina you can go home to rest"..
Ma'Sthe:"it's better than seeing that useless girl , let's go"
Jim:"you will die next busy putting her under your armpits instead of letting her live on the streets " he says leaving
Auntie:"Doctor"
She nods then heads to Nomathemba's ward
