Tar Tulz : I didn’t think Lisa would be so dramatic.To decide to pack her bags and leave just like that?

Tar Bora : I thought she was cool.

Tar Tulz : Yeer!

Tar Bora : She never imagined it would be her own father but the saddest part in this is his ex wife not letting him to see the children.If Sisanda or Sesethu were to do that to me I would go crazy babe.

Tar Tulz : That’s why other people prefer to stay in the closet.

Tar Bora : True,but we should accept that not everyone is open minded.They should just give Lisa some space I’m sure she’ll come to her senses.

Tar Tulz : I’m sure he’s regretting it wherever he is.

Tar Bora : Uzobastrong_He will be strong.I was thinking we should go and see Madlamini.What do you think?

Madlamini : You can’t hide it forever mntan’am.Let me go hang the washing.Your mother will be here any minute.

Tar Bora : Umakazi usendleleni_.my aunt is on the way?

Tar Bora : What is she hiding?

Madlamini : She’s pregnant.

Tar Bora : What? I didn’t know you were dating anyone.Who’s the father?

Lindokuhle : Stop it,Bonga.

Tar Tulz : I hope it’s not Ura.

Ura : Your cousin? Seriously? How do you take me for? Of course it’s not him.

Tar Bora : Ura?

Lindokuhle : I’ve never been in any kind of a relationship with any of your friends.Why Ura though?

Tar Tulz : No nothing.

Tar Bora : You are hiding something.

Tar Tulz : He told me about his pregnant girlfriend.

Tar Bora : Which one?

Tar Tulz : To be honest I don’t know.

Lindokuhle : Ezi chomi zenu ziyawathanda amantombazana yoh ha.a sana_.These friends of yours like women.

Tar Bora : Akajampisi umjita_.He doesn’t looks like one.

Lindokuhle : I hope he doesn’t ghost the poor girl.

Tar Bora : I don’t think he’d do something like that.

Lindokuhle : Let’s hope so.

Lindokuhle’s mother : Hello everyone.

Lindokuhle : Hi mama

Lindokuhle’s mother : I am also fine Madlamini.I came as soon as I can.Can I get a cup of tea,Lindokuhle

Lindokuhle : Okay,mama.

Lindokuhle’s mother : Excuse me Madlamini,there’s something I need to discuss with Lindokuhle.(following her to the kitchen)

Madlamini : Please don’t be too harsh on her.

Lindokuhle’s mother : What’s this I hear about you being pregnant? Just by letting you to come and stay with her,you fall pregnant?

Lindokuhle : Madlamini told you?

Lindokuhle’s mother : How long were you planning to keep it a secret? I was going to find out,anyway.I let you to come stay here to take care of her.Madlamini is getting old.Who’s going to take care of that baby when it’s born and what about your studies?The baby will ruin everything mntan’am.

Lindokuhle : I don’t know how it happened mama.

Lindokuhle’smother : Does your boyfriend know you are pregnant?

Lindokuhle : No I haven’t told him.

Lindokuhle’s mother : You will have to tell him because I want you to focus on your studies,soon you will be graduating.How is the baby going to fit in all of this? You can’t expect Madlamini to look after your child at her age and I have a full time job which means I won’t be able to help you with the baby.You will have to tell the father of this baby so that he can tell his family.You will need their help.

Lindokuhle : No mama so you want me to give away my baby?

Lindokuhle’s mother : What I’m saying is you will get your baby after you’ve graduated.I don’t want you to be distracted by a child.I want you to focus.

Madlamini : You two,what are you thinking about.You have been quiet.

Tar Bora : We are thinking of buying a house,oledi.

Madlamini : Buying a house,Why?

Tar Bora : Thulani and I are married,oledi.We think buying a house would be good for us.

Madlamini : Bonga,your mother left you a house mntan’am,What is wrong with it? No mntan’am you have do something about it,it has been empty for years now ever since your mother died.Buying a house would be a waste of money mntan’am I’m telling you .Think about it.

Tar Bora : Everything in that house reminds me of my mother and my childhood..

Madlamini : I understand mntan’am but you have to do something about it.Your mother left that house for you.You are the only child she had.You have to honor her wishes and accept that house.I know it’s not going to be easy after everything that happened there mntan’am but your mother would be very happy wherever she is.

Tar Bora : Okay oledi let me talk to Thulani and hear what he thinks we should do about it.

Tar Tulz : How about we go and see it tomorrow?

Madlamini : Please bantwana bam.There’s nothing wrong with that house.

Tar Bora : We will go there tomorrow.

Wanda regrets telling his daughter about his secret love life.

Wanda : What I want to know is how did she find out about my relationship with Mamba because now she’s using that against me.What if I never see my children again.

Ura : To be honest I don’t know taima.She was already gone when I got here.

Wanda : I should have kept this to myself and not tell anyone especially Lisa.

Ura : I think she’s the one who told her everything.

Wanda : Why am I not surprised.I could see the disappointment in her face.She couldn’t stand me.I should have taken her serious the minute she said she was leaving.

Ura : I also thought she would come around.

Wanda : But why didn’t try to stop her?

Ura : I did but she didn’t listen to me.Now I see I should have tried harder.

Wanda : No this is not your fault.I should have been here when she left so that I could try and talk to her.I deserve everything that is happening to me right now.I’m such a terrible father.I failed all of you.

Ura : No taima You didn’t fail anyone here.Lisa is just behaving like a spoilt brat that’s all.She’s an adult,she needs to grow up!

Wanda : I’m sure right now you all think I chose a man over you.My ex wife was right,maybe I don’t deserve children.

Ura : Taima don’t forgot you raised me alone after my mother died.You didnt reject me even after everything I put you and this family through when I was still a teenager.

Wanda : I did what any parent would have done for their children.

Ura : Still,I really appreciate you taima.Stop thinking about this and focus on the positive side.

Wanda : Like what?

Ura : You and your relationship with Mamba.I know about the braai last night and I know there were no straight guys either.

Wanda : Of course your friends told you.

Ura : No,I saw you guys when we were passing by his house last night and anyone would have noticed.

Wanda : I’ll tell him to be careful next time.We don’t want people knowing about this.

Ura : What would you say if he would ask you to marry him?

Wanda : (almost chocking in his coffee) What? No no he would never ask me something like that.

Ura : How do you know? These things happens taima.

Wanda : No,I have never imagined myself marrying another man and besides it’s not that deep and he has never mentioned something like that before.

Ura : I thought you two were serious about each other.I mean look,Lisa is gone before you even got a chance to know her and on the other side you might never see your twins again.You’ve sacrificed a lot already.

Wanda : You wouldn’t understand.I’m not comfortable having this conversation with you.

Ura : Relax taima it’s not like I will judge you here.Do you still love this guy or not?

Wanda : I do but that’s just not enough.I’m worried about the things he does.He has so many skeletons in his closet.When we started our relationship he did something that put him into jail and I had to wait for him but still he hasn’t changed.When he came out,he told me he was out on parole but still he goes around threatening people with unlicenced firearm.I still don’t know how they let him go just like that.There’s just so much I don’t know about him.

Ura : So taima in other words you are scared you might lose him again.Taima everyone knows Mamba is a gangster.

Wanda : I know and yeah I’m scared I might lose him again.I care about him but I just wish he could change.

Ura : But still taima one day he will ask you to marry him and you will say yes.

Wanda : Not me.I would never say yes to another man’s proposal.Imagine what would people say.There are still many woman out there if I were to take a wife.

Ura : I thought you were done with women and wanted to commit to this guy.

Wanda : Done with with woman? Now I don’t know what you are talking about.

Ura : I thought you were happy with him and you would never date women again.

Wanda Mamba : I’ve only dated two guys in my life and Mamba is the second guy I’ve ever been with.So I don’t think I can choose. Mamba has not been out for too long.He might do something and go back to prison and when he goes back I might never see him again.How can I commit myself to someone like that.

Ura : Eish ndicinga ndisejayvin nam kanjan_.I think I’m also in trouble.

Wanda : What did you do?

Ura : My girlfriend says she’s pregnant.

Wanda : Which one are you talking about? Remember I know you.

Ura : The one you know

Wanda : And you don’t believe her?

Ura : I don’t know I mean what if the child is not mine.I can’t raise another man’s child.

Wanda : Unathi I think it’s time you grew up and took responsibility for your actions.You can’t go around impregnating women and when they tell you they are pregnant you start running away.

Ura : I don’t know taima I will see what I do once the child is born.

Wanda : Be careful about the decisions you make.You don’t want to end up like me.I need to lie down a bit we will talk again later.

Ura : Sure taima.
