It's another day. And today Mbuso is not going to work, they wanted to spend their Saturday together, they even told Suko(nanny) not to come. But...Buhle tends to ruin everything.After cleaning and eating breakfast, they were sitting on the couch. And she is holding the baby,kind of playing with her
Mbuso: hey baby Owethu. Unzani Nana
Zakhona: you saw her since the morning nje. Why you're greeting her now
She is talking while playing with her cheeks, when she attempts to kiss her Mbuso stops her
Zakhona: haw..yini Mbuso?
Mbuso: no you're not kissing my baby with that mouth sthandwa sami. Angithi ngishilo ngathi angithandi uma ubhema uqede uzocabuza ingane [I told you that I don't like it when you smoke and then after that you kiss the baby]
Zakhona: haibo Mbuso are you being serious?
Mbuso:(sigh) I'm not fighting babe. Just that I think it's not healthy
Zakhona: Ohhh but it's healthy for you? Nje yesterday we were kissing and you never complained about that I'm kissing you with the mouth I'm smoking with? And Wena you do kiss the baby with the mouth you use to kiss all the sluts?
She is pissed off
Mbuso:(sigh) ay okay kiss her then. Kiss her
Zakhona hands him the baby as she stands up to leave
Mbuso: where are you going?
Zakhona: to get some fresh air outside
Mbuso: you're not leaving the yard today .
Zakhona: huh?
She says turning to him
Mbuso: yes. Me and you have plans. We planned that we're gonna do our own picnic in the house angithi?
Zakhona: but your sister will be here
Mbuso: no we'll take her back home uyazihlanyisa loyo
Zakhona: what do you mean
Mbuso: we'll take her back home...
Just as when they were talking someone knocks and she went to open.
Buhle: hey skoni
She is carrying bags and pretending to be happy to see her
Zakhona:(fake smile) hey
Buhle: Bhuti!Ohhh I forgot there's that little pumpkin
She says letting go of bags and attempting to go and take the baby.
