She folds her arms as she sulks and glances at him .



Kgothatso : why are you this competitive ?

Mandlawenkosi  : you're also competitive , you kept pulling my arm making me lose .

Kgothatso : you scored 20 and I scored only 3 Mandla , you're not fair ! 

Mandlawenkosi : okay , I'll let you win next time .

Kgothatso : I begged you .



He starts laughing ..



Mandlawenkosi : you're so cute .

Kgothatso : I'm just going to sleep , I'm too tired and angry at you for making me lose .

Mandlawenkosi : we'll play some other time , don't worry you'll win .

Kgothatso : yeah right ..



She stands up and stretches her arms .



Kgothatso : goodnight , you sleep in the other guestroom for the night .

Mandlawenkosi : okay , goodnight and sleep well .



She nods and walks upstairs , she goes into her bedroom and opens the covers . She gets in bed and covers herself while Mandlawenkosi turns the TV off and walks to his bedroom first , he takes his pajamas and walks to the other guestroom . He then changes into his pajamas and jumps in bed .



— MORNING ..



He puts on his sneakers and ties his shoelaces , once he's done . He takes his phone and car keys then walks downstairs ..



Mandlawenkosi : are you done ?

Kgothatso : almost ..



She applies lipgloss on her lips and places everything she's gonna need in her bag .



Kgothatso : lets go , wait .. no my slides . I'll be back ..



He sighs and leans against the couch watching her run upstairs .. he chuckles lightly and shakes his head . After a few minutes , she runs back down holding her slides .



Kgothatso : lets go .

Mandlawenkosi : are you sure you're done ?

Kgothatso : yeah I'm done , lets go ...

Mandlawenkosi : you won't have to come back to get anything else ? your phone ?

Kgothatso : my phone is in here , lets go now .



They walk out as he locks the house , she waits for him to finish locking up and they walk to the cars .



Mandlawenkosi : selection ...

Kgothatso : the range rover .

Mandlawenkosi : come ...



He opens the door for her and she jumps in , he then closes the door and walks to his side . He jumps in and starts the engine ..



Mandlawenkosi : seat belt ?

Kgothatso : oh yeah , sorry .



She puts on her seatbelt and he drives off , she lowers the top mirror as she glances at herself side to side .



Kgothatso : i should've done makeup , I look so bad .

Mandlawenkosi : no you don't .

Kgothatso : ai you just don't want to hurt my feelings ..



She says reaching out for the mascara in her handbag and applying it on her eyelashes .



Kgothatso : maybe you should make a u-turn so I can get my makeup .

Mandlawenkosi : Kgothatso come on ..

Kgothatso : oh you want them to say my skin is somehow ?

Mandlawenkosi : your skin is fine Kgothatso , I'm dead serious . You look fine .

Kgothatso : I'm gonna cry ..

Mandlawenkosi : you look beautiful ..



She sighs and presses her lips together .. she applies lipgloss again and closes her handbag , she throws it in the backseat as he sighs .



Mandlawenkosi : waba busy ..

Kgothatso : I'm all over the place , you woke me up too early and I didn't like that .

Mandlawenkosi : and I'm supposed to apologize ?

Kgothatso : yes ..

Mandlawenkosi : okay I'm sorry .



She nods .



Kgothatso : you're forgiven , but only on one condition .

Mandlawenkosi : what condition ?

Kgothatso : I need some drink , a krusher .

Mandlawenkosi : Are you serious ?

Kgothatso : you're just gonna go in there and order it for me , it takes less than five minutes to prepare .



He shakes his head and faces forward ..



Kgothatso : a husband that doesn't listen to his wife is not a good husband at all .

Mandlawenkosi : you won't play that game with me ..



She rolls her eyes facing forward ..



He parks the car infront of KFC as she smiles lightly and looks aside ..



Mandlawenkosi : what do you want ?

Kgothatso : an oreo krusher and a burger please .

Mandlawenkosi : you just said you wanted a krusher only .

Kgothatso : now that we're here , I also want a burger and fries ..

Mandlawenkosi : hmm ..



He takes his card from the wallet and jumps off the car .. she giggles , after a few minutes , he comes back with the food and krusher . He jumps in and hands them over to her .



Kgothatso : thank you .

Mandlawenkosi : now your mood just changed because of food .

Kgothatso : mxm ..



She says smiling , he starts the car and drives off .



Kgothatso : I'm grateful .

Mandlawenkosi : yes I heard you the first time .

Kgothatso : don't shout at me .

Mandlawenkosi : I'm not .

Kgothatso : I'll send you to get me an ice cream .

Mandlawenkosi : you'll go by yourself , really .

Kgothatso : haa ?

Mandlawenkosi : you're torturing me .

Kgothatso : that's what a wife is supposed to do .



He smiles lightly and continues driving ..



— CENTURION , BAB'NDLOVU'S HOUSE .



He parks the car besides the other cars that were parked there and turns the engine off .



Mandlawenkosi : lets go .

Kgothatso : let me put on this doek because they say I'm a slay queen .

Mandlawenkosi : you don't have to .

Kgothatso : I want to .



She says jumping off the car and opening the back door , she takes the doek from her handbag and begins wrapping it around her head .



Kgothatso : can you come help me ? I'm struggling to tie it .



He jumps off the car and walks to her , he stands behind her and helps her wrap the doek around her head . Mpiyakhe walks out of the house as his eyes fall on the both of them .



Mpiyakhe : you're letting him help you ? he's going to **** up .



They glance at him ..



Kgothatso : I trust him .

Mandlawenkosi : you heard that ? she trusts me .

Mpiyakhe : you two look a lot brighter , marriege is having a very positive impact in your lives . This is beautiful man ..

Mandlawenkosi : there you go ..

Kgothatso : thank you .

Mandlawenkosi : is everyone inside ?

Mpiyakhe : not all , just mom and the bitter 4 .



He glances at Kgothatso ..



Mandlawenkosi : lets go ..

Mpiyakhe : relax , they're not going to strangle you .

Kgothatso : you're scaring me ? I'm not even scared .

Mpiyakhe : I can tell .

Mandlawenkosi : Stop scaring her ..

Mpiyakhe : you're defending her ?

Mandlawenkosi : am I not supposed to ?
