I dried my hands nge towel exhonywe pha for izandla, I opened the door ndaphinde ndavala because bendifuna uthambisa umziba wam iyeza for the scars but andawu valisisa this time Umnyango uBusie noAce bebethetha but ndingayi hoyanga lento bebeyithetha. I took off my gown and hanged it on the shower door-handle, I lifted up the pyjama top ndakhulula ibandage ebifakwe all the way around isisu sam nomqolo and put it aside. I took off the dressing, ibine gazi and threw it in the bin. I opened the top drawer and took the cream out ndayiqaba kwi cut then dressed it, I covered it nge bandage then ndalungisa itop yam ndanxiba ne gown yam, I heard igama lam kulanto ithethwa ngo Busie I stopped and listened carefully Busie:I was told ekhaya mna ba umalume was accused things he didnt do! I didnt know it was her. Ace:we have to tell uThulani Busie:but Thulani really loves Thandeka and he would do anything for her! Ace:thats why we should tell him! Busie:but then theres a chance that they could break up manyani kengoku, I dont want them to break up! Ace:because of whats happening to him? Busie:not only that, Thandeka is the only girl that knows how to control my brother and so far she has shown him nothing but love Ace:I sense another but coming... Busie:yeah we could tell Thulani this but what if this is another way of destroying the little family Thulani and I have... Thulani is my only family... I walked out of the door and pretended as if I didnt hear anything phof ewe I didnt hear anything because I didnt know who they were talking about and why. I dont know why my name was even mentioned phana. We went down to the kitchen, bekubuhlungu xa ndisehla ibingathi amadolo ayagexa ngathi ndizokuwa so ndabambelela kwi rail uAndile ebehamba ecakwam endibambhe engalweni. Safika ekitchini uQ noNono bengekho, I poured them iJuice ndazigalelela amanzi, we sat down sancokola njee, Andiles phone rang he got up and answered it, Busie and I carried on talking Ace:ooLuzuko baphandle bacela ubavulele I got up and pressed ibutton yovula igate next to the phone, they drove in then I closed the gate.
