(Nandi, Sihle, and Nolwazi are at the restaurant waiting for Zibulo)

Nolwazi: Look at how beautiful you are.

Sihle: She looks so beautiful indeed.

Nolwazi: You see even Sihle who was against the makeover is complimenting you.

Sihle: Was that necessary?

Nolwazi: I’m just highlighting that she is really beautiful.

Sihle: Why do you have to highlight that using my name?

Nandi: Please guys don’t start with your fights here, we are in public.

Zibulo: (Taking off his shades) Hi ladies.

Nolwazi: (Sighs in relief) There you are.

Zibulo: (Looking at Sihle and Nandi) Which one is my girlfriend between these two gorgeous ladies?

Nolwazi: It’s a play girlfriend, Zibulo, don’t catch feelings.

Zibulo: (Smiles) Or am I having a polygamous relationship? I’m also fine with that.

(They all stare in disgust)

Zibulo: I’m just joking guys, let’s get to business.

Nolwazi: So, you and Nandi (pointing at her) will be going to the restaurant Senzo has dined in. You’ll be holding hands and act like you bumped into Senzo. Then Nandi will introduce you to him. You will have to act like the rich serious guys who are full of themselves. Make him feel small.

Zibulo: I got it. Are you going to pay me now or after the job is done?

Nolwazi: Focus on doing the work we will talk about your payment after.

Zibulo: Okay, (extending his hand) let’s go gorgeous.

****

(Zibulo and Nandi are holding hands as they are walking towards the restaurant Senzo has dined in)

Zibulo: Can I ask you something?

Nandi: Okay.

Zibulo: You know you are beautiful, right, and you can get any man that can treats you right?

Nandi: What makes you think Senzo is not treating me right?

Zibulo: If he was treating you right, we wouldn’t be here doing what we are doing. Just forget about this guy, you deserve better.

Nandi: Can we please focus on what we are here to do?

Zibulo: I was just saying.

Nandi: (Rolls her eyes)

Nandi: Oh, there he is (Takes out a mirror and cleans her face) I look good right?

Zibulo: You look gorgeous.

Nandi: (Rolls her eyes) Let’s go in. Wait…let’s use the other entrance so that when we go in he can immediately see us.

Zibulo: Let’s go.

(They hold hands and get in)

Nandi: (Looking down) Is he looking at us?

Zibulo: Yes

Nandi: (Whispering) Let’s pass like we don’t see him.

(They walk past him, Senzo turns his head as they pass)

Senzo: Hello Nandi.

(She smiles then slowly turns her head)

Nandi: Oh, hello Senzo!

Senzo: Have we become enemies?

Nandi: What?

Senzo: You just passed me like I’m some stranger.

Nandi: I didn’t see you; I no longer see people these days. I only see my boyfriend.

Senzo: Oh…I see. (Looking at Zibulo) Hello “boyfriend” (He extends his hand for a handshake)

(Zibulo looks at him disgustedly from head to toe)

(Senzo slowly puts his hand in his pocket)

Zibulo: (Putting his arm around Nandi’s waist) Let’s get out of here babe. (Looks at Senzo) See you around…uhm…whoever your name is.

(They leave)

(Nandi and Zibulo are at the corner of the parking lot)

Nandi: (Laughing) We got him! (Gives him a high five)

Zibulo: He will never recover from this one, I’m sure his ego is bruised.

They laugh.

Zibulo: Think about what I said though.

Nandi: What’s that? What did you say?

Zibulo: This guy doesn’t deserve you, you deserve…

Nandi: (Cuts in) Woah, you are still there? Let’s go Sihle and Nolwazi are waiting for us.

(They leave)
