Insert 105:

They all didn't like the way Mbuso spoke to them earlier. It's 13pm ,he is not here and left with Thabani. They are still doing preparations for the ceremony tommorrow and Zakhona came to the kitchen, she felt cared and awkwardly around them

Zakhona: can I ask if is there somewhere I can help?

Aunt: no no ,go sleep or watch TV or rest. You are pregnant angithi your husband will eat us alive if you help us

Zakhona: mah I never said to Mbuso you made me work hard

Nandi: oh uMbuso is now a sangoma and just predicted that which time you woke up at?

Zakhona:(sigh) I told him but not the way he talked to you. I didn't want him to do what he did

Aunt: better help us go rest as a special treated wife. I already called someone to help us

Zakhona: someone?

As they heard a knock on the door as she went to open the door. It's a female, 

Zakhona: hey ,you can come in

Her name is Thandolwethu 

As she came in ,she is sort of confused who is she. And what does she want here

Nandi: come daughter and help us here

Oh..they called a girl to help them cook while Zakhona is right her? She didn't tell Mbuso to say what he said to them earlier, why don't they understand.

Zakhona: can I also help ngyacela

Nandi: Koti go and sleep or wait for your man to come back wherever he is

Aunt: angithi vele you cannot live without her

They are talking while busy with the cooking and chopping.

As she go to the room ,and closes the door and release a sigh. 

She is kind of concerned about who is that girl and how is she related to the Gatshenis. Why would they call her

She gets a call and it's Mbuso

Zakhona: sthandwa sami

Mbuso: are you still fine

Zakhona: no and that's your fault 

Mbuso: sorry but I couldn't let them just like that 

Zakhona: I never asked you to talk to them for me Mbuso. And now they are replacing me with a file I don't know

Mbuso: replacing you with a girl?..Uhm we will talk about that ,I am few minutes parked away from the house , please come over ,it's on the right when you are at the gate

Zakhona: mxm fine 

She says dropping the call as she take a jacket then went out ,passing them as they stared at her. They probably gossiped about her when she left.

She find Mbuso and Thabani in the car as she get in

Zakhona: Mbuso why you called me

Thabani: let's go

Zakhona: to where

Mbuso: we are just taking a walk and going to see some places from this valley

Zakhona: taking a walk with a car?

Mbuso: khona lokhoke

He says starting the car

Mbuso: you said who is the girl you talked about on your phone?

Zakhona: Thandolwethu, that's her name

Mbuso poses for a second and clears his throat

Thabani: Thando is still alive? I last saw her may years ago

Zakhona rolls her eyes

Zakhona: why you know her

Mbuso: she is ..my ex from long long ago sthandwa sami

Zakhona:(laughs in disbelief) what?

Mbuso: yes , please don't take this in a bad way ,it's just an ex from long ago and I no longer have feelings for her and I never had

Zakhona: no no its not that 

Mbuso: then what is it

Thabani is busy drinking his bottle of beer ,he is an alcohol addict shem

Zakhona: your family decided to call her ,to come and take my position and work as the bride of Gatshenis

Mbuso: she is not working as a bride of Gatshenis, you are the bride not her

Thabani: mina Shem I always get forced to listen to your issues, Mbuso you shouldn't call me to come with you if you guys are going to continue like this.

Zakhona: cha your family is disrespecting my position and value

Mbuso: I will talk to them .

Zakhona: oh so they will strike at me again when you are not at home? It's better cause I am leaving tomorrow

Mbuso stops the car

Thabani: and then?

Mbuso: you are leaving to where?

Zakhona: going back to solve my problems instead of creating myself more problems where I don't belong. You made a good decision by stopping the car because i am going back with my legs

Mbuso: Zakhona you can't walk while heavily pregnant

He says facing her

Zakhona: I will 

She says getting out of the car ,as Mbuso follows her walking behind her

Mbuso: babe you are drawing eyes on us

Zakhona: I don't care ,just go back to the car and go where you wanted to go spend your day 

She says continuing to walk ,then they hear the engine of the car starting when they turn

Thabani started the car and left 

Mbuso: nxx that fool (clicking his tongue)

Mbuso: I can't let you go without ...
