I wake up and my mom is looking at me.
Me: Ma ??
Mom: lets go tuu.
Me: Kuphi ?
Mom: let him explain.
Me: explain what ? That he is a Cheater. No thank you. I already know that.
Mom: what if you are…
Me: ma ??
Mom: okay, Let’s go and hear him out and come back, deal.
I look at her.
Me: fine.

Quinton got home and locked himself in his room. No Nandi. No kids. Just himself and ran upstairs.
Gia: this is bad. This is so bad.
Njabulo: tell me about it.
There is a knock on the door and Gogo walks in.
Gogo: where is he ??
Me: upstairs….
Gogo: Ngena Nandipha.
She walks in wearing a striped dress with slippers, whilst carrying Nefi. Sbahle walks in and Ntando walks in carrying Thingo

Phone Beeping
I look and it’s a message from an unknown number.
Come outside, I can explain
-unknown
I head out with nefi in my hands and there is someone sitting outside.
Me: hello ??
She looks by me and gets up
Me: Gia ??
…: Mia… Miaandy. Gia's twin sister.
Me: uhh ?? What !!
Mia: I was the girl on the phone, Bahle was asking for my help about something very important.
Me: (breathes out) more important than his family, and he didn’t communicate. How should I know.
Mia: you really are stubborn…
She gets up and comes to me.
Mia: Hi Twin (talking to Nefi)
Nefi: (pouts)
I look at Mia
Mia: lets go ke.
Me: where ?
She walks away
Mia: follow me.
I follow her behind the house
Mia: bro…
I see Quinton sitting on a chair, playing with something on his hand
Mia: Q !!
She goes to him and I just stand there. Q had a tendency if zoning out and I bet it was happening right now.
Me: (rolls eyes)
…: ohh you found them.
I turn around and its Gia.
Me: you didn’t tell me you had a twin.
Gia: (chuckles) I didn’t think she was gonna come back after our fight.
Me: mhh…
Gia: here comes Q, let me go…
She leave and I turn back, with Q heading towards me.
Quinton: I didn’t cheat. I would never cheat…
Me: why didn’t you tell me that Gia is a Twin.
He looks at me
Quinton: I thought Gia told you…
Nefi: Sisi (Points at Mia)… Mama…
I place her down and she walks towards Mia who was cheering on her, whilst clapping her hands.
Quinton: Baby…
I fold my arms.
Me: Bahle.
He looks at Me.
Quinton: I guess you are mad, since you are calling me by my 2nd name.
Me: Spill.
Quinton: can I explain after showing you something.
Me: what ??
He lets out his hand and someone covers my eyes with a cloth. we start walking and after sometime, we stop.
Me: uhh ??
Mia: you ready ?
Me: I guess…
The cloth is removed from my eyes and I open them.
