He is always not home, and sometimes comes back late at night. Zakhona stays home with her baby, but they have a nanny,she cleans for them and guard the baby.

.

Its morning he is in a shower,bathing for going to work. Zakhona is ironing his clothes,he didn't even notice that she woke up after him.

When he came out of the bath, with a towel wrapped around his waist

Mbuso: morning

Zakhona: morning sthandwa sami

Mbuso: you're up

Zakhona: yes.

She says handing him his clothes as she quickly went to bed.And got undercovers

He dresses,takes his bag work and was ready to go out

Zakhona: Mbuso I am still that same old Zkahona you loved.

Mbuso: huh?

Zakhona: you're lately not has been paying attention to me. Angazi sekumele ngizikhunge yini.

Mbuso:(sigh) you know I'm working

Zakhona: yesterday I waited for you, you usually come back at 17pm but I waited until 19pm

Mbuso: I was working night shifts

Zakhona: mxm

Mbuso closes the door on his way out. After he was gone, Zakhona gets off bed going to the wardrobe. She takes out her bag,then takes a cigarette and a lighter in it.

She smokes but without Mbuso knowing that. If he could find out, it would even create more problems and arguments.

She went to the bathroom, locks the door and lights it, she released a breath in enjoyment

Owethu is a quiet baby, doesn't like crying. She's now 7months old

When she was dragging the last drag, someone knocks.

Mbuso: haibo Zakhona open the door

He says knocking aggressively

Zakhona: (clears throat) what do you want?

Mbuso: I forgot my phone at the side of the bathtub

When she looked, there it is. His phone

What is she gonna do? Even if she flushes the cigarette but he will smell the smoke.
