TSHOLOFELO:(talking to herself) I don’t know where’s that Thabang……I can’t seem to go home without seeing him . Aah why do you care Tsholofelo it’s not like you need him to get home, You can even spend a day without seeing him.

THABANG: (Came running from behind and scared) Hey you!

TSHOLOFELO:Ahh! (she got frightened) you gave me a fright Silly boy…..I actually missed you…I mean “Miss me”

THABANG:I expected that of you…why do you bottle up everything to yourself just say you missed me it’s normal of you (he took Tsholofelo’s bag from her shoulders) come on give me your bag I’ll walk you to the corner

TSHOLOFELO: Thabang I got dreams that needs to be fulfilled….I can’t afford to shatter them cause of love …I can only Walk on a single road and where it ends I’ll continue the other!

THABANG: (heart broken) What about us ain’t we unlike charges! I’ll wait till you’re ready then!
