Suzie: Afternoon Auntie, how was your day with my baby?

Auntie: Afternoon madam. Your baby is feeling well today, and she kept playing a lot.

Suzie: That is wonderful. Where is John?

Auntie: He is in the lounge, watching television.

Suzie: (Goes to the lounge.) Hi love, why are you busy thinking so hard?

John: Hi love, it is you. I am just thinking about my business. I got many delivery orders, but my problem is finding a lorry.

Suzie: What happened to your lorries?

John: My lorries are stuck, and I do not have any money to fix them and pay the mechanic.

Suzie: Why didn’t you tell me before so I can help you by borrowing you money to pay the mechanic?

John: I do not know, but that is interesting, my love.

Suzie: I am coming now, and we can negotiate about it. (Leaves the room.)

John: (Speaking alone.) You do not know anything. I was thinking about Auntie, not my lorries like I said. She is so beautiful. Her shape, her face, and her voice is so charming, especially nowadays. She is getting elder. She is about to reach 17 years, so she is old enough. I need to say something about my love for her, but how. I need to plan this just like a man. (Sees Suzie coming back to the room.) Hi love, are you back?

Suzie: Yes I am. Do not worry, love, I will give you some money from my savings. How much did you say you need?

John: Oh, thank you my love. You are so helpful. I need only little amount, not too much.

Suzie: I asked you how much.

John: It is only three thousands rand.

Suzie: I thought you needed a huge amount. Stop worrying, because all your problems are solved.

John: Thank you very much. Come closer, and let us have a kiss.

Suzie: A kiss, after so long?

John: Ag, do not worry, this kiss we are sharing is to show the happiness between us.

Suzie: Yes, I see.

John: My love, I have a plan for our holiday.

Suzie: What plan, do not tell me you want to change the bookings for Durban.

John: No, I did not change anything, but I planned to go first and you will come after.

Suzie: Why?

John: Please Suzie, for the sake of our house and my business.

Suzie:John: Auntie and the workers who did overtime during the holidays.

Suzie: So, now what is the problem?

John: My love, you know very well that, nowadays, workers steal profit, and there are so many robberies during the festive season. I do not want to leave Auntie alone. I am afraid they will kill her. I want you to look after my business during these holidays.

Suzie: You are crazy, John. I am not going to agree with you on that.

John: Suzie, why?

Suzie: The only thing I can allow or assist you with is to hire security for our house, and your business must close.

John: Are you telling me or asking me?

Suzie: I am telling you.

John: No, No, Suzie, I need the money. Will you give me that money while my business closes for two weeks?

Suzie: I will sacrifice for that.

John: That is good. We will see, but let me use plan B.

Suzie: Plan B for what?

John: Plan B is to take leave for a week in order to rest before I go on holiday.

Suzie: Are you mad, John? What are you up to, and why are you thinking such stupid things? You are going on holiday for three weeks in order to rest and enjoy. I am not going to let you do that.

John: Okay, okay, I will listen to you, madam boss. I better go to sleep.

Suzie: You better go, Sir Boss. Why does this man want to go on holiday alone? There is something I do not understand. I need to check up on his ways. Always when he talks, he includes Auntie’s name. Does he love her. He cannot fall in love with that street kid, this child who does not even know how to wash her herself, or it is just my imagination?

John: (Speaking alone.) This woman cancelled all my plans. I was very stupid to inform her. Look, now all my plans have failed. But truly speaking, I love this girl, she is so romantic.

Tell us: What do you think about John wanting to get into a relationship with Auntie?
