Rahulโ€™s car is parked outside and Thembi is wondering whose car is parked outside her home.

Thembi: (she calls her mother) Mom!

Linda: Yes?

Thembi: Come here.

Linda: What is wrong?

Thembi: There is car outside the gate, do you know who it belongs to?

Linda: (she looks at it) It belongs to your husband.

Thembi: (she is shocked) My husband? What husband?

While they are still busy talking, Rahul opens the car door slowly and climbs out of his car. He walks to their house and opens the door..

Rahul: Greetings, ladies.

Linda: Greetings to you, Rahul.

Rahul: How are you, my wife?

Thembi: (She is crying) Your wife?

Rahul: Yes, and I have come here to fetch you.

Linda: (Carrying Thembi bags) Here, take her bags.

Rahul: (He takes Thembi bags)It was nice doing business with you.

Linda: I know.

Rahul: My wife, letโ€™s go.

Thembi: (She wipe her tears) I am not going anywhere with you.

Linda: (Holding Thembiโ€™s hands) Go with him, he is your husband now.

Thembi: (Surprised) Mom, how could you do this to your own flesh and blood, your own daughter? (She cries). I never expected this from you, my own mother.

Linda: I have done what I was supposed to do.

Rahul:I don’t have time for this nonsense (he points to Thembi) and as for you, I have married you. You have to do whatever I tell you to do.

Thembi: Mom I am only 16! Please don’t do this to me!

Rahul takes Thembi forcefully.

Linda: Goodbye my dear daughter, itโ€™s time for me to enjoy my money.
