(Two weeks later, Nkosana is walking with Manqoba.)
Nkosana: So ‘Mimi’ is her nickname?
Manqoba: Yeah, that is what we all know her as…
Nkosana: So do you still think I made a mistake?
Manqoba: (Looking at him) Yes! This girl asks you for money every weekend, she drinks every weekend and only sees you when it suits her. It has been two weeks: where is she now?
Nkosana: She went to see her mother, at least that’s what she told me this time around.
Manqoba: (He covers his face) Ohw my friend, you will never learn will you? She has a mother now, huh? She is with that Lwazi guy, I tell you!
(Nkosana’s phone beeps and he reads the message. It says: “Hi Nkosana it’s Mihlali. I am sorry to tell you this but it’s over between us! I’ve just realised that I love Lwazi more and I can’t lose him because of you. XoXo”. Nkosana calls her immediately.)
Nkosana: Mihlali, what’s going on now? I thought we were fine!
Mihlali: You’re just not my type but thank you for everything, it’s has been a pleasure. (She hangs up.)
Manqoba: Nkosana, what is going on? Why are you crying?
Nkosana: (Showing him the SMS) You were right, she is with that fool! She is really wicked and horrible, she played me! She sucked all my money dry,
I am done with love!
