Act 3, Scene 1: They are inside the house shouting at Tholakele.

Thandolwenkosi: Finally, you back or you decided to have dinner with by their house.

Hlengokuhle: We were stacked in traffic even if I did so I don’t see a problem I’m old enough to do what I want.

MaDlamini: Not while you still under my roof.

Vanessa: Okay that not a way to talk to someone, Hleh sit down dear so we can talk.

 Thandolwenkosi: Who gave you permission to act like a mother in front of my sister and Mary?

Hlengokuhle: Nothing bad I said to her Tholi was just standing there by us with her grandmothers talking plus her father was present so……

Bonita: Mother she was on and on about forgiveness and preaching, told me to unite with that stupid family wherein we are not even related.

Tholakele: Then mom tell me grandma Lwazi is grandma’s twin who happens to be grandma Mary’s sister how come you say she is not related with us?

Elias: You just must listen to us and stay away from them you may not understand now but later you will.

Tholakele: Mom grandma I asked you a question.

Hlengokuhle: My daughter they wont answer you for they don’t have an answer.

Tholakele: Mom I am calling dad to come fetch me and I will go spend the night in grandma Mary’s house.

Bonita: (she stands in front of the door) What wrong with you child why won’t you listen (cries)?

Tholakele: Mom what wrong I’m sorry!

Gcinokuhle: Are you happy now look what you have done.

Hlengokuhle: My grandchild those are crocodile tears she has been like this from childhood.

Tholakele: Wait grandma, mammie why are you crying what happened?

Thandolwenkosi: That because your favorite Mary killed my daughter your aunt.

Tholakele: (laughs) No she is harmless.

Thandolwenkosi: That woman and her children are evil do you know that Jean forced your mom to have an abortion so that she could marry your mother’s boyfriend Gerald and it never ended there she took away Moffassa from your mom after she was done with him, she left him. As for John is a murder, he tried killing grandma and Mary that witch covered that.

Hlengokuhle: Please gather all the correct proof before believing a thing they say those were rumors we heard from your mother and grandmother.

MaDlamini: Why do you think your great grandma lives here with us? Mary is the one who suppose to look after her till she tried to kill her, and we took her bought her here.

Tholakele: (sits down) That not true what kind of human beings are they?

Hlengokuhle; There are always three sides to a story.

Gcinokuhle: Think about it my dear has you heard her children talking about their father it only Busiwe who knows her dad.

Tholakele: I think I have heard enough (she leaves with Bonita).

Hlengokuhle: Why do you hate your sister this much what wrong has she ever done to you? Why do you lie about her, what is it that you gain by doing so? Isn’t it enough that she is alone all by herself she has no family besides her children and Thandolwazi on top of that you went and took away her mom as she is here, she is not even allowed to visit her, hasn’t she suffered enough?

Thandolwenkosi: That woman took away from me, and her daughter took away from my daughter they will pay for the rest of their lives.

Hlengokuhle: By ruining her reputation? It enough now, they had to relocate because of you its time you move on now (she leaves).

Vanessa: Thandolwenkosi I wouldn’t be saying these things if I were you about my sister for I know they are not true and there will come a day where you will have to apologies to her; for you keep on taking every little thing that giving her hope all 5 of us know what really happened about your daughter, you the one who had a hand in it you could have stopped it from happening but you choose not to.

MaDlamini: Don’t act as if you don’t benefit from it.

Vanessa: Fine I do but I don’t go around insulting people because if we were to talk about evil people we should start looking within this house. When you point at someone calling that person with names look at all the three fingers are pointing back at you.

Elias: Don’t speak like that my dear.

Vanessa: No, it true (silent moment) I wonder what will happen that day Bonita come to know the real culprit behind her sister’s death how will she withdraw all the bad she has said.

 Thandolwenkosi: Zip it! Vanessa it enough now there is a serious matter we need to address now Gcina, and I must upgrade, and my mother will help us.

 Elias: You have gone there to find out so fast (to Vanessa) my dear we should go there and find out.

Vanessa: When I get time we will go there (to Thandolwenkosi) if you considering this upgrade matter and you are really willing to make your mother help you (shakes her head to disagree) then I’d see that you worse than the devil himself.
