(It has been two days since the day of the meeting. Kegomoditswe is still in the flat with Asiphe and Lusapho.)

(Lusapho is coming back from the store. He has an envelope in his hand.)

Lusapho: This letter was sent to our mailbox and it has my name, yours and Mom Kego’s name on it. I haven’t opened it yet, though.

Asiphe: Well, open it then, and let’s see what’s inside.

Lusapho: There are three letters in here, with all with our names on them, and they all come from your mother.

Asiphe: I said I don’t want anything to do with that woman.

Kegomoditswe: It’s okay, Asiphe, let’s hear what she has to say. Read out the letters, Lusapho.

Letter1: To Asiphe, my daughter

I know that I caused you a lot of pain, and that I don’t deserve your forgiveness. I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you about your biological father, but that man caused me a lot of pain, and he broke my heart. His actions forced me to become overprotective, and that’s why I thought it would be best if you knew nothing about him. I’m really sorry, and I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. I love you.

Your mother
NOLUYOLO

Letter2: To Kegomodistwe

You see, on that day, God sent me an Angel, and that Angel was you. I want to thank you for raising Lusapho into the man that he is today, you have done a great job, and he very is lucky to have been found by such a kind and loving mother. Please continue doing that, and may the good Lord kindly hold you in the palms of His hands, and shower you with countless blessings. I’m sorry for the troubles I caused you. Thank you.

Sincerely
Noluyolo

Letter3: To Lusapho, My Son

No words can justify my actions, but I want you to know that I did what I did to ensure that you get a better life. I had nothing to give you back then, and had I kept you with me, you probably would have not survived because you were not even allowed to enter that house. I had no home or family to go to. Your father was the only family I had, and he had turned against me. I’ve always hoped that I would see you some day, and you have always been in my heart. I couldn’t tell your sister because I didn’t even know how to face her. I didn’t know how to tell her that I have a son, and that I don’t know his whereabouts because I had abandoned him immediately after giving birth to him. I’m not proud of my actions, but I did what I had to in order for you to live. I’m really sorry. Take care of Asiphe, and make sure that you also take good care of my unborn grandchild. Regardless of the relation that you two have, please do not pin it on the child because all of you did not know anything about this. Now that I have finally seen you, I’ll find rest. I love you very much, my son; I always have, and I always will. Please find it in your heart to forgive me. I wanted all the best for you, but little did I know that our meeting would be through your sister. I’m sorry.

Your mother
Noluyolo
