Lindokuhle : What do you mean?
Tar Bora : He’s Gay not Bisexual.
Lindokuhle : So he doesn’t like girls at all?
Tar Bora : Yep! and he’s always been like that.Even when we were growing up,umjita never showed any interest in girls even if we went out namanye amajita he would hang out with other guys or just disappear without telling us where he’s going,sometimes go home…but he started doing that after he confessed his feelings for me.
Lindokuhle : So he’s the one who made the first move?
Tar Bora : Yeah.It wasn’t me.But after he confessed his feelings for me,I couldn’t suppress my feelings for him anymore…I was still in a relationship with Sesethu.
Lindokuhle : And Sese? what happened with her?
Tar Bora : She’s the mother of my second child,I loved her but unfortunately I’ve always had these feelings for Thulani and I couldn’t ignore them.Sese once caught me in bed with Thulani and few days after she demanded that I choose between her and Thulani because she was not going to compete with a guy…
Lindokuhle : Then you chose Thulani over her? How did you do that because she would have told the whole Township about your secret.
Tar Bora : No,she’s not like Sisanda. I made her believe it was a mistake,something that would never happen again and asked her for a break and continued my relationship with Thulani.
Lindokuhle : (laughing sarcastically) Bonga you’ve always liked this guy neh?
Tar Bora : It’s late,let’s go and sleep.
Lindokuhle : Stop avoiding my question,Bonga.Tell me what happened because you guys never got back together.
Tar Bora : A lot happened.
Lindokuhle : And Sisanda? How did it happen? You broke their friendship Bonga.
Tar Bora : It was a mistake.Thulani and I were in a bad space and it happened.Sisanda has always wanted me so don’t pretend like you don’t know that.
Lindokuhle : I know about that.
Tar Bora : Yeah that’s how everything happened.We’ll talk tomorrow,I’m tired.(going out to his backroom)
Lindokuhle : Okay then.Goodnight.
