It's already morning and they are all preparing for leaving. Zakhona is still still sleeping and that's giving them a chance to gossip about her

Aunt: Kant umakoti sleeps for how long 

Buhle: Mbuso go wake her up ,we will be late 

Mbuso: we will leave with our own car ,so yeah... please don't disturb my wife from her sleeping

Buhle laughs in disbelief

Buhle: being inlove is making you crazy

Mbuso: uqinisile

He says going upstairs, yena he already bathed and wore his tracksuits with black sneakers.

While he took out clothes and iron a skirt for Zakhona to wear

As she wakes up

Zakhona: Mbuso?(rubbing her eyes)

Mbuso: babe it's 8am ,wake up we need to go 

Zakhona: 8am??? Mbuso why didn't you wake me up 

She says panicking as she got out of the bed

Mbuso: your water is ready ,go bath but first come here

He says kissing her ,and the iron falls as it touches Zakhona skin ,and she screams, moving away from him

As he take it and switch it off

Mbuso: sthandwa sami

Zakhona: ouch Mbuso?

She says rubbing where it touched her 

Mbuso: let me see

Zakhona: ungilimazile 

Mbuso: it was a mistake makaOwethu

Zakhona keeps rubbing where she got burnt a little by the iron

Zakhona: now I will have this on my arm 

Mbuso: hawu ngyaxolisa sthandwa

Zakhona: mxm 

She says making her way into the bathroom 

30minutes later ,she was wrapped with a towel and lotioning her body 

Mbuso gets in

Mbuso: your are not done yet 

She nods 

Mbuso takes the clothes he took out of or her ,and gives them to her

Zakhona: I am not even gonna wear that. You know that's not gonna even fit me 

Mbuso:(sigh) I didn't know

He throws them on the bed as he kneels infront of Zakhona 

Mbuso: sthandwa sami you are angry at me?

Zakhona: why would I be

Mbuso:(Chuckles) that i made the iron hurt you?

Zakhona: why would I be

She is answering him while busy lotioning herself

Mbuso: did it hurt?

Zakhona: no it was numb

She says standing and takes out her tracksuits from the wardrobe 

Mbuso: cha you have moods shem ,ukwenzani kodwa uOwethu

He says going out of the room leaving her to start dressing , because he noticed that the thing that stops her form dressing is that he is here.

It's 20mins later and they are all leaving ,she couldn't even eat because the time was against them ,they don't want to arrive at night in rurals.

.

Aunt: umakoti will leave with our car with us ,as women

Mbuso: no ,she will be with me 

Aunt:Kant yena she is always next to her husband and not wanting to just stay a minute away from you 

Zakhona: hay mah I don't have a problem..going with the same car as you

She is lying ,she is just saying cause she has to be polite and sound nice otherwise nje ,she would be making it clear ukuthi bayamudakelwa

Mbuso: no I am not asking you. Zakhona..?

Zakhona: yebo babakaOwethu

She is doing that "bowing" of respecting now ?these two are just acting 

Mbuso: you are disobeying your husband's rules?

Zakhona: cha akunjalo

Mbuso: good ,then that means when I say you are leaving with me what will happen??

Zakhona: i do as you say 

Mbuso: exactly ,let's take the bags into the car

Buhle was taking a video of that.

They are on their way ,and Zakhona is a bit of suprised when he sees Mbuso taking a way the shouldn't be taking

Zakhona: where are we going kant?

Mbuso: Eish I forgot to tell you...we are leaving with Thabani

Zakhona: Thabani who??that ..friend of yours 

Mbuso nods

Zakhona: we will be with him in the same car?

Mbuso: unfortunately yes sthandwa sami, there was no other way

Zakhona: Mbuso you should have told me ,we are now officially together. And you have to inform me when taking decisions

Mbuso: I couldn't find time to tell baby ,ngyaxolisa

Zakhona: mxm 

Mbuso parks outside the gate where Thabani lives as he came out with a suitcase. At the boot there was no space for more loads ,so he was obviously gonna sit at the back with his suitcase

As he got in

Thabani:(releasing a sigh) sanibonani lovers

Mbuso: sure mfeth

They handshake as he started the car and they left. Mbuso and Thabani were the only people talking and laughing along the way while Zakhona was busy with her phone.

Mbuso: we will start at the shops before we take our way to home ,we cannot come home with nothing 

Thabani: yes and I also want something to drink

Zakhona turns back to him and continued with her phone

Thabani: haibo Mbuso ,why is Makoti looking at me when I talk about drinks ,is she also ...like ...

He says indicating drinking alcohol

Mbuso: tsek that's none of your business

Thabani: that means yes? Makoti you are an alcohol fan kant, ngena Lana

He says handshaking Zakhona's hand while she isn't interested

Mbuso: Zakhona you will not drink alcohol along our way

Zakhona stares at Mbuso wanting to argue but decided to keep quiet because there is someone else at the back. She has to behave and not appear as a talkative wife

Thabani: stop playing with the poor girl wena. Uphuzani madam 

He says asking Zakhona as she gives Mbuso a stare 

Mbuso: Zakhona I am not playing with you for real 

He says crossing his fingers

Zakhona: juice is fine 

She says fixing her hair as she sits in a comfortable way

Thabani: I will bring brutal fruit for you 

Mbuso: ungadakwa Wena

He says while Thabani gets out of the car as Mbuso also does.

Zakhona doesn't get out of the car ,it's not that she was waiting for Mbuso to open the door for her..she just didn't think of also getting out. As Mbuso opens the door for her

Zakhona: thanks (rolling her eyes)

As she closes the car door herself.

Zakhona: what are we buying?

Mbuso: grocery, and you asap wife ,you will be choosing the things we must buy

Zakhona: sofika ebusuku ekhayakini? [We will arrive at night at your home]

Mbuso: I don't care mxm.

Zakhona: aah I also don't know what to buy for ceremonies like this one of yours

Mbuso: there's no ceremony for me ,it's for the whole family 

Zakhona: mxm same thing 

Mbuso: it's not . We had to make Zulu traditional alcohol but we have no time for that ,as you said we shouldn't arrive at night

Zakhona: so who would had made the alcohol?

Mbuso:(chuckles) I can 

Zakhona:(smiling)haibo Wena

Mbuso: let's go sthandwa sami

He says grabbing her hand as they go to the shops. It took them an hour to come out from the shop. Phela uMbuso kept insisting that they buy more things cause he knows how talkative and gossiping they are at his home

Zakhona:(sigh) I am so tired. They managed to squeeze some of the plastics in the boot and Thabani had to struggle sitting with more plastics at the back sir 

He opens the beer bottle, it hissed as he twisted off the cap, releasing a refreshing sigh of carbonation.

And he have a sip

Thabani: it's so cold and refreshing

He burps

Mbuso: the juice is also goods angithi my love?

Zakhona nods with a fake smile while her mouth is full of the juice

.

on their way , Mbuso's phone rang

Mbuso: arghh who is calling I am driving. Please answer it for me

Zakhona takes it and checks ,it's Sihle

She poses for seconds as Mbuso notices

Mbuso: who is it 

Zakhona: Sihle

Mbuso stops the car as Thabani makes that whistle of his indicating that Mbuso is in a deep problem

Zakhona: why are you stopping the car ,you are still chatting with uSihle?

Zakhona is now facing Mbuso straight 

Mbuso: (clears throat) makaOwethu give me the phone 

Zakhona: I can't give you the phone while I do not get answers of what I am asking you.

Mbuso:(sigh) give me the phone

As he takes it from Zakhona ,and calls Sihle back. Zakhona is a little bit surprised and confused when he is putting it on loud speaker

Sihle: unjani baba womntwana

Zakhona almost fainted as she is thinking that ,Sihle is definitely pregnant with Mbuso's baby kant No ,it's not like that 

.

Mbuso: yes I am the father of my child and the love of my life ,what do you want?

Sihle: 10k

Mbuso: for what

Sihle: for me ,and spoiling myself

Zakhona is listening attentively and trying figure out what is going on here. While Thabani is busy with his beer bottle but ears betraying him

Mbuso:(smiling at her) I'll uZakhona that you keep blackmailing me with the baby that is not mine
