Nkosenye:What is wrong with you?
Noma:I am serious, I don't want her here.
Nkosenye:Why? What did my mother do to you? I never chase out your family.
Noma:I will leave Nkosenye if you don't chase her away.
Nkosenye:You can leave if you want but you are not taking my children anywhere!
Noma looked at him with her mouth wide open, this is the first time Nkosenye has disagreed with her.
Noma: Nkosenye!
Nkosenye:I am not kidding, you want to leave. Then go, but my  children are going nowhere. Now if you will excuse me....
He left her and went back to his mother. A seconds later Noma appeared carrying a bag with the biggest frown on her face.
Noma: I'm going home. I will be back when she is gone.
She clicked her tongue and went out.
Mom: What's wrong with her?
Nkosenye:U Noma uyahlanya mah(Noma is crazy mah). I don't have time for her nonsense, not today. Are you hungry?
Mom:Yes but let me see my grandkids first.

SMANGA
Maybe I'm thinking too much but Nontando is not herself these days. When I call her it's either she doesn't answer my calls or she gives me attitude. I don't know what is wrong with her, I don't want to think that she is cheating on me because I swear I will kill her; I will not hesitate. I call her again and it rings unanswered. She is testing me, I call her again and this time she answers out of breath. Please let this not be what I'm thinking.
Nontando:Yes.
Smanga: Nontando where are you? I have been calling you.
Nontando:I didn't hear it ringing, sorry.
"Babe let's take a shower", says a male voice in the background. I felt dizzy for a moment there, I balanced with the door since I was standing.
Smanga: Nontando.
I called out her name in a whisper. She dropped the call. Nontando is cheating on me! Me!? Smanga!? Since I know my way around Tech, I tracked her phone to find where she is. After I found her location, I rushed to my car driving to the place. I was sweating all the way.

Nontando quickly dropped the call and stood up from the bed wrapping a sheet around her body.
Bonga:Hey what's wrong?
Nontando: That was Smanga, he heard you calling me babe. Why were you calling me babe Bonga?
Bonga:Sorry I didn't know.
She paced around the room biting her nails.
Nontando:Oh God what am I going to say to him!?
Bonga:Shhh calm down Ntando. Maybe he didn't hear anything.
The intercom rang and he went to answer it
"There is a man causing chaos here. He says he wants to come inside"
Nontando:Oh God that's him. I can't allow him to see me Bonga.
Bonga:Go to the back an ask one of the guys you will find there to drive you home. Hurry, I will talk to him.
She quickly wore her clothes and did as Bonga told her....
Meanwhile Bonga went outside and found Smanga shouting like a mad man. When he saw Bonga he ran towards him, Bonga stood there dumbfounded as to why Smanga is running. He couldn't finish his thoughts as Smanga gave him a punch that made him to lose balance.
"Where is my girlfriend!!!!?Huh!!!?" , He shouted. The bodyguards held Smanga back from Bonga as he was now climbing on his back.
"Leave me, leave me alone"....
Bonga:Dude I don't even know who you are. There's no one here.
Smanga:I want to see for myself. I tracked her phone and it showed that she is here.
Bonga told the bodyguards to let him go and Smanga ran to the house like an athlete looking for Nontando.
"Nontando!! Nontando!!! Where is she!!!?"
Bonga:I told you no one is here.
He calmed down a bit as he realised that he may have acted a little bit dramatic. He looked down and took a deep breath.
Smanga:I'm sorry man, I thought she was cheating on me. I must have tracked wrong because her phone showed your house as her location. I'm sorry.
Bonga:It's okay, I probably would have acted the same way if I was in your shoes.

NKOSENYE

Noma has been at her home for a week now, I honestly don't know what suddenly changed her heart towards my mother. My mother also left as she felt she was causing troubles for my marriage, if only she knew this marriage was long dead. I take my phone and call Noma,
Noma:Yes
Nkosenye:When are you coming back home?
Noma:Is your mother gone?
Nkosenye:Yes... She said she doesn't want to cause problems for us so she left.
Noma:I will come back this afternoon.
She dropped the call and I sighed. I went to check on Asemahle & Lindokuhle and they were playing games in their room. It's funny how they are a boy and a girl but they get along so well. I smiled looking at them...
.......
She looked around the room scanning if she is really gone.
Nkosenye:She is gone, I told you.
She went to the bedroom to unpack her clothes, I followed her.
Nkosenye:Aren't you going to say hi to the kids? They missed you and you didn't call to even check up on them.
Noma:I came back didn't I? I will see them when I'm done unpacking my clothes.
Nkosenye:Oh.
.
.
.
Bab'Gumbi:So basically Nkosenye chased you out?
MamGumbi:No, I'm the one who decided to leave. Nkosenye said Noma wouldn't return unless I Leave. I don't know what's the sudden change because I thought we were getting along pretty well.
Bab'Gumbi: Nkosenye is weak, he is allowing his wife to control him. I didn't raise him like that.
MamGumbi:Be patient with him baba, you know he suffers a lot from negative thoughts and depression.
Bab'Gumbi:That is for white people. That boy needs to man up. Indoda enjani evele iphihlike nje ikhale? Zona iyngane zakhe ziyothini nje zibona ubaba wazo etetema!?( What kind of man just bursts into tears? What will his children say if they see their father crying!?)
MaGumbi decided to keep quiet because it's clear her husband won't ever be considerate when it comes to Nkosenye's emotional wellbeing.

NONTANDO
You should have seen the way I rushed inside when the car dropped me off, I quickly took a bath to get rid of Bonga's scent. I have to find a way to convince Smanga that it's not what he thinks. I fucked up.
"Smanga is here!!!", that's my mother shouting. I looked at myself in the mirror and forced a smile on my face. I went out nervous for life, he was leaning against his car. I walked towards him.
Nontando:Hi...
He looked at me up and down. I don't know what he is thinking.
Smanga:Get in the car!
He commanded.
I brought my ass inside and he drove off.
Nontando:Where are we going?
Smanga:Shut up!! Fuckin shut up!!!!
He shouted and pressed on the wheel, I screamed a little. He drove us to a place I don't know, I was starting to be scared. What if he wants to kill me where no one will find me?
Nontando: Smanga please take me back home.
He parked in the yard and told me to get out. I did and he dragged me inside, this was a house that was still in construction.
Smanga: Look around here. Look at this house. I built this house for you, for us.
I looked around and it is exactly how I told him I would like my house to be, I felt tears threatening to come out.
Smanga: Nontando why are you cheating on me?
Nontando: I'm not cheating on you babe.
Smanga:Angisona islima mina(I am not a fool). I heard a man's voice on the background.
Nontando:Baby that was the TV I swear, you know I love watching series. I wouldn't do that to you my love. Please believe me...
