Naledi’s mother : Naledi !..

Father : Dont come near her

Naledis mother : You lied Naledi …why ?

Naledi : I can’t handle you ma..u hit me everyday ..do u want me to die ?..i would never think of killing myself..i was suicidial but i wouldn’t do that to myself..

Naledi’s mother : What were u depressed about ?..Are u crazy ?

Naledi : I was raped by my own boyfriend last year..he promised me love and cheated on me with my friend who left me for other friends..Luckily i still have my other friend Akhona..

Naledi’s dad : Whos that boy who raped u last year ?..How could he do that ?

Naledi’s mother : Who told u to have a boyfriend ?..u were in grd 9 damnit..

Naledi : I’m staying here with dad untill finish school ; go to university and get a job..

Father : You as a mother had no right to hit her at all ! ..You nearly killed her ! Get out and never come back..

Naledi : i faked my death to run away from u and ur toxic ways..

She was about to go upstairs and Naledi’s mother left..

Father : Naledi..come back here ; breakfast time ; i’m going work..

He drives off and Naledi makes jungle oats with milk and sugar and eats

She showers and wears a pink tracksuit..She sits on the couch and cries..She still feels depressed but she has hope..She watches Tv..
