#53 [At the hospital] Sonia walked to the reception. Susan was on duty....She took an envelop and put it on the desk. Sonia:Here is your promised trip to Cape Town as promised. We people who cry alot keep our promises. Do I have any message? Susan:Yes...she couldnt believe it....New schedule with new patients .... (Handed her the schedule and a file). Sonia:Thank you ..... [Sonia was at the psychiatric ward to help with behaviors] As she was talking to a patient. Her name was Tshidi..a 30years old lady. Sonia:Hello. My name is DR Mbatha....I mean DR Mogale. Tshidi:Your tag says Mbatha. Sonia:just call me doctorSonia. Thats my name.Im surprised you read my name tag .. Tshidi: Why? I seem illiterate? Sonia:No just that most patients dont bother. ..They do as we say...as their minds depends on what we say. Lets see....opening her file......You are declared mentally unfit. And that resulting you to be an unfit mother. Tshidi:I am perfectly sane.He is just trying to take my kids away from me. Sonia:He? Tshidi:My husband. ..well soon to be ex husband. He is divorcing me for someone else so he doesnt want to pay alimony. ...and I threatened him that he wont see his kids anymore. Sonia:How did you then end up here because a psychologist is the one referring you to a psychiatrist when you are mentally ill. Tshidi:I had few madness episodes that landed me here.But I can assure you that he put something in my food or anywhere which made me go crazy....She started crying. Sonia:Ive been a mental doctor for a decade and plus and I know that you patients have a tendency of being sane for couple of minutes so we would think you are okay then we release you. Tshidi:Okay I get it...but am not crazy. ...Cant you hear me?.Im not saying I havent gone mad . Yes I have but it was reasonable . My husband was cheating, and he and the mistress have a child together. .. Sonias mind went to that day Khaya left her...the conversation they had... Khaya:I am leaving. I have a new wife, a beautiful one for that matter and we are having a healthy baby boy. Sonia weeping Sonia:You cant leave us Khaya. we need you.You promised, you vowed. For better and for worse. Khaya; Well I cant! Why settle for this while I can have better? Sonia:He is your son.Your flesh and blood. Khaya:I wont be the first one to abounden my child. .. he took his suitcase and left the house leaving Sonia and Siyabonga. Her memory came back... Tshidi:Are you okay? Sonia:Yea...just tired sorry. Tshidi:Please believe me. Sonia:Listen. ...I can talk to Dr Hlatshwayo about moving you to a psychologist again. But no high hopes the procedure is long. Tshidi:I appreciate that. Its driving me crazy living with real sick people when you are okay. Someone who will ask you the same question a million times! Ill really be insane. Sonia:I have to go. Will come back soon. She called the male nurse to escort her as she left. At lunch. She went to look for Thabang at the cafeteria. She found him. Sonia:Hey. Thabang:oh....sit down. She sat. Sonia:I want to discuss a patient with you. Thabang:Which one? Sonia: Tshidi Maake. Thabang:oh ....what about her? Sonia: She is not mentally unstable as stated about her. Thabang:Dont let her play you. Sonia:His husband contributed to the episodes she had and she is dodging legal papers. Thabang:you believe her? Sonia:Check if she and his husband were in a divorce process. Then we can take it from the. Thabang:okay. [at home] The game was starting....Andile was given a phone to call Mandisa. He dialed the numberand it rang. Andile: hello. Mandisa:Andile! Andile:I called to ask you to come to Gauteng. Something bad happened. Mandisa:Is my daughter okay. Andile:Just come .
