Insert 86:

Zakhona went upstairs and stand infront of the mirror,she doesn't know what she has to wear that looks good and suitable to wear infront of her inlaws

All of a sudden she sees Mbuso standing at the door as she turned to him 

Zakhona: Mbuso?

He is quite and just looking down ,looking at his hands 

Zakhona: Mbuso what is wrong with you? With us ..

She says coming closer to him and stood infront of him as he raises his eyes up at her 

Mbuso: get dressed we have to leave ,time is running 

Zakhona: (sigh) talk to me 

She says holding his hands

Mbuso: Zakhona nothing is wrong ,just wear a coat on top ,at least so we can leave 

Zakhona: fine 

She says going to her wardrobe and taking out a black coat ,Mbuso is looking at her thighs ,acting like he is not impressed or something 

His eyes are really glued to her thighs following her every step she moves

She puts a coat on top and take her phone with her car keys 

Zakhona: now let's go 

Mbuso: (sigh) 

He now keeps sighing like there's something he wants to say but don't know what to say 

Mbuso: did spending your birthday with you mean something to you?

Zakhona: huh?

It's not that she didn't hear what he said ,just that ...where does this question come from all of a sudden?

Mbuso: did my existence in your birthday party mean something to you?

Zakhona: Mbuso I don't understand you, where does that question come from all of a sudden

Mbuso: just answer my question (he is saying calmly)

Zakhona: yeah ...your existence meant something ,I enjoyed spending my birthday with my squad

Mbuso: you are telling me about your squad but I am asking about me

Zakhona:(frowns) Mbuso ..yeah I enjoyed spending my birthday with you too okay?

Mbuso: sure ,let's go now 

He says taking her purse on the table and left as she followed him 

When they arrived downstairs ,food is finished 

Zakhona: (smiling awkwardly) let me take this to the kitchen quickly

She says taking the tray to the kitchen and they all left. They were following her car ,while she was making a call to Cindy

Cindy: huh? You mean today you was visited by the Gatshenis?

Zakhona: it wasn't a visit ,they were here to come with me to Khaya's grave.

Cindy: hay come on its the same 

Zakhona: mxm it's not ,ngithi mina I had to greet and guess how I greeted

Cindy: how?

Zakhona: I said "ninjani boMah nobaba nawe Buhle" like...I greeted them one by one 

Cindy: where as the need ,all you had to say is "ninjani"

Zakhona:(laughs a little) I was confused my head was spinning I didn't expect them I just thought it's Mbuso cause I saw his car

Cindy: you are crazy Shem 

Zakhona: oh I forgot tell me ..about yesterday ,didn't I do nonsense infront of Mbuso?

Cindy:(laughs) yesterday was lit 

Zakhona: tell me 

Cindy: both of you were dancing ,kissing, planning your wedding ,wuu and Mbuso kept kissing your stomach. We were just in a romcom show ,cause it was romantic and also funny 

Zakhona is now looking on the mirror of the car at Mbuso in the back of her car. She can see him ,and also him can see her 

Zakhona: it was also romantic huh?

Cindy: mm 

Zakhona: let's talk later I am about to park at the graveyards

Cindy: no problem bosslady 

She drops as she parked her car ,and they all got out of the cars

Zakhona: (nervously) you can follow me 

They followed her leading the way to Khaya's grave as she showed them 

Nandi: oh my dear son 

Nandi is now crying ,while Zakhona doesn't know what to do or how to react 

The moment is so sad and emotional.

Mbuso kneels next to it looking at it 

Nandi and Buhle also do the same now Fakazi and Zakhona are the ones standing 

Zakhona:(with a low tone) I ..I am now leaving 

She says trying to leave as Fakazi grabbed her hand 

Fakazi: you can stay , Mbuso needs you at this moment 

Buhle: she must leave this is family time 

Fakazi: Buhle ..stop it 

Mbuso is not here ,but looking at Khaya's grave as all the regrets he has came back into his mind 

Nandi: oh my dear son ,don't worry we are now here

Buhle: happy belated Khaya

Zakhona's eyes widen a little, it was his birthday??that's what she is asking herself

Fakazi: Mbuso go take the things in the car ,we need to sit also come with the food 

Mbuso sniffs wiping his tears before he turned to Zakhona as they made an eye contact.

This is not the way Mbuso usually looks at her ,this one is different

He stood up and went to his car

Fakazi: go help him (reffers get to Zakhona)

Zakhona nods as she went to Mbuso at the car boot side 

The boot is opened and he is taking out the plastic of food and sheets

Zakhona: let me help you 

She says taking the sheets 

Mbuso tries to leave as Zakhona stopped her 

Zakhona: baba ka Owethu what is going on?

She is trying to beg him to talk to her 

Mbuso: the drinks are in the front ,they are just two of them so I believe they won't be too heavy

He says leaving without answering her 

Zakhona sighs as she take the things and went them again.

They sat on the sheets and took out the cake 

Zakhona feels really bad
