I'm just laying in bed thinking, umah kfanele adinwe kanje naye her marriage ended because of cheating. Ubaba ube cheat strong kwathi umah esemubamba wathi ufuna ukuthatha unkosikazi wesbili, ilapho ke umah I decide khona ukuth ngeke Esaqhubeka no baba wafuna I divorce, I guess he was in love ngoba akazange anqabe after that he moved out wayakoshada ne side chick, umah wasala kanjalo wasikhulisa. Ubaba tried to be in our lives but we just couldn't let him after what he did to my mother. uNtando my older brother moved away that's why singekho close akabuyi njalo he only comes if it my mom's birthday. Umah unezingane ezu two kphela that's why I didn't want to move away like my brother. Let me just go home bazongfica khona.
Mangifika ekhaya I find umah epheka, ay lomuntu begula izolo kodwa u busy uyapheka
