Chapter 06
They have agreed on that Buhle will stay for only three days.And they couldn't even do their so-called little picnic because of Buhle.
.
Mbuso left and didn't say where he was going, but he was probably going to Sihle. But he made it look as if he is going because of Buhle causing drama.
They are sitting on the couches and watching TV. It's awkward and Owethu is asleep upstairs.
.
Zakhona:(clears throat)ubani iskhathi laphoke? [What time is it?]
She checks for her
Buhle: it's 18h00 skoni
She never forgets the name "skoni" in every sentence she says.
Zakhona:(sigh) where's Mbuso kanti nxx.
She says clicking her tongue.
Buhle: maybe he will walk in anytime now. Don't be too worried skoni
Zakhona:(sigh heavily) I am. Mbuso is undermining me yazi. I'll show him who I am
Buhle: you are the man yini kant skoni?
Zakhona: your "skoni" thing is boring me. Cut it off
She says standing up to leave.
She went upstairs to her room. Buhle also turned the TV off and went to sleep in her room. Zakhona wasn't asleep, she was waiting for Mbuso until she heard a car outside. She wears her gown and went downstairs and opened the door
It's not Mbuso. And she is going to the car.
Cindy comes out
Zakhona: Cindy??
They hug.
Cindy: bosslady
Zakhona: why would you come so late? You're back in town?
Cindy: cause you said so. So yeah, I'm back
Zakhona:(sigh) Uhm..you would be so mad at me if I tell you that... Uhm. Me and Mbuso already fixed the little problem we had
Cindy: the little problem? It's not a little problem bosslady? Yazi I left home, and came all the way to..
Zakhona: ay nawe. I'll give you money to go back mxm
Cindy: ohh okay. How much?
Mbuso's car comes in. The gate is open? Cindy also got in without ringing the gate bell
Zakhona: nasi lesfebe somfana.
Cindy: haibo
He parks it and comes out of the car. Relaxed ,with his shirt unfolded
Zakhona: Mbuso?
Cindy leaves them as she made her way inside the house. Clearly she's sleeping over
Mbuso: sthandwa sami
He says trying to hold her hands
Zakhona: where are you coming from??
Mbuso:(clears throat) from..uSihle
Zakhona:(laughs in disbelief) are you being serious njengamanje? You left me here hanging with your.stupid too forward sister, and went to see that chick?
Mbuso:(cleches jaws) dont describe my sister like that. And again, I wasn't there to see her Zakhona. I was there to see my baby
Zakhona: ohh you left Owethu here and went to see your special precious baby?
Mbuso: it's dark outside. Please let's go inside. And again, I'm too tired for this mfeth
Zakhona: Mbuso..
Mbuso: just stop
He says leaving her standing, as she followed her inside. Cindy is on the couch
Zakhona: Cindy a guest room is the third room when you pass ours
She nods, as Zakhona was following her husband upstairs.
He took off his shoes, and his pants. And was left with his boxers as he got in the bed.
Zakhona sighs as she take off her gown and get into bed.
Zakhona:(calmly) Mbuso you're hurting my feelings everyday
Mbuso:(sigh) sthandwa sami it's not like that
She turns and closes her eyes.
