Mbuso: mm and I will tell the doctor to stop you from having an access to buying alcohol in any store

Zakhona: do you know who I am? I am the gangster girl ,I can do anything

She says going to pour it and switch the stove off in the kitchen

Zakhona: yoh I am now tired of this arm folded like this 

Mbuso: come sit here

He says patting the space on the couch next to him 

As Zakhona sat next to him ,drinking her alcohol

Mbuso wraps his arms around her neck

Mbuso: the doctor said you must go to her to take the bandage off ,only after 3 days 

Zakhona: has 3 days is too long you 

Mbuso: it's not be patient 

He says kissing her cheek 

Zakhona: usebenzaphi? [Where are you working?]

Mbuso: huh? 

Zakhona: no it's just that ,I am asking myself. You brought a house,you have a car and can buy anything you want but I never heard that there's somewhere you are working at 

Mbuso:(sigh) i was ..banking my money ,and my dad also helps me when it comes to money ,while I was at the University he would transfer it to my account so yeah

Zakhona nods

Mbuso: and again he promised me that he would hire me in his company so I could survive even when he is gone

Zakhona: oh okay ,but...you brought our house with the money you get from your father

Mbuso: no it is mine, he was transfering it to me when I was at school

Zakhona: okay I hear you 

Mbuso: Wena? What's your story when it comes to ... education

Zakhona:(rubs her nose) I..I completed matric but I never got a chance to go to the University

Mbuso: why

Zakhona:(clears throat) I didn't want to 

Mbuso: why

Zakhona: my parents died when finished my matric ,and I had to gain braveness and power so I can get revenge. I didn'tt get time for school

Mbuso: oh I understand ,it means you have a certificate of matric?

Zakhona nods

Mbuso: then why we don't go look for a job for you 

Zakhona: me? Haibo Mbuso I don't want a job I can already survive on my own

Mbuso: by living life of crime? A wife who is a gangster?

Zakhona: yes ,I will be gangster wife what's wrong

Mbuso: you ain't serious

He says letting go of her

Zakhona: why do you want to change me?

Mbuso: I am not changing you I am helping you an our baby , Zakhona you almost killed her by boxing while I warned you 

Zakhona: so you mean I had an intention of killing my baby?

Mbuso: no I never said that 

Zakhona: what did you say then?

Mbuso: (sigh) you know what let's stop this topic 

Zakhona: no make it clear what did you mean?

Mbuso: I meant ..everytime when I warn you ,you don't listen then at the end you cry and say you regret while I warned you 

Zakhona: so I wanted to kill my baby? 

Mbuso: let's stop this topic

Zakhona: why?

Mbuso: because it makes us argue ,I don't like it when we always argue like this 

Zakhona: you are the one who always want us to argue. An hour doesn't end without us arguing because of you 

Mbuso's phone range ,as Zakhona clicks her tongue and left him ,going upstairs

She can't even climb the stairs well 

Mbuso: baba? 

Fakazi: where are you my son?

Mbuso: with Zakhona 

Fakazi: oh okay ,we need to see you it's important

Mbuso: urgent?

Fakazi: no it's not urgent but it is important, see us before the end of day 

Mbuso: Yebo Boyabenyathi

Fakazi: how is my grandchild and her mom

Mbuso: they are all good ,Uhm..baba I also have something to tell you 

Fakazi: we will talk about it when you are here then

Mbuso: okay ,sengiyaluvala ucingo 

He says dropping the call ,and went upstairs to Zakhona

The room was locked 

Mbuso:(knocking) sthandwa Sam?

She doesn't answer him 

Mbuso: I am leaving now , I have to go home there's something important they need to share with me 

She still doesn't respond

Mbuso: uyezwa? Ngyakuthanda take care of yourself 

He says leaving 

.

He drove to his home, and when he parked outside ,there were cars parked 

As he got inside the house there were elders

His uncles and aunts from Gatsheni relatives

Mbuso bows his head greeting as they greet back ,handshaking him and hugs from his aunt

Mbuso: baba? 

Fakazi: you can sit 

His father is pointing him to sit on the mat as he sat 

He is confused what is happening

Uncle 1: don't be surprised why would we drive a long distance to here in suburbs. We don't like everything that is happening ,you actually brought disgrace in this family by impregnating a girl who is the biggest enemy in the Gatshenis

Mbuso is getting irritated by what he is saying to him,is this what they called him for?

Mbuso: with all due respect ,what was I called for
