Selby : Langa don’t forget to take the Zulu beer to the elders by the tree “ he pat his shoulder and walked pass him
Langa : “ yebo baba”
Selby  turned and looked at his son , he was wearing a black overall and  black all star with bucket hat , he shook his head , because he reminds him so much of him when he was growing up.
Langa made his way to the main house and found Zoe and his mom busy in kitchen , he looked at Zoe and winked at her ,Every time he looks at her its felt  like his first time , his heart started pounding and he had butterflys on his stomach , the way he loves her its  bigger than the universe and he feels as if god loved him so much that he took time to create a women that completes him , 
Langa : “ yoo look good baby “ referring to Zoe hugging her from behind who was wearing a blue sishweshe and dock , she looked like a real makoti
Zoe : ngikhathele Dlamini“
Langa mom shook her head and smiled , she has never seen such love from young couple it melted her heart and made her feel all fuzzy inside
Langa Mom : “ how is the meat ? “ she asked Langa  popping his love bubble
langa : “ give it 45 minutes or so”
langa’s Mom : “ Zoe  I need you to check on the catering team how far are they with the food  “
Langa kissed her cheek and made his way out
Zoe : “ I’m on it mama“  Zoe replied and went the opposite direction as Langa

Back at Portia house ***
She was a walking Zombi and could not believe what happened last night ,she prayed so much that she knew that God was teaching her a lesson with her actions , she dressed up and asked her brother to drive her to Mpume house , she looked at phone and typed a message to Nkonzo but deleted it ,she was lost of words and was so ashamed of herself  she ended up typing “ I’m so… so .. sorry , I never meant for you to find out like this “ she switched her phone off and wept inside ,
Mpilo her brother was having an unsettling feeling the whole morning  as if there is something wrong like he going to receive bad new of some sort , he looked at her sister who looked like a mess
Mpilo : “ u-right popo “ Portia could not hold it in any more and bust out and cried , Mpilo rushed to her and held her tight
Mpilo : what’s wrong sisi ? talk too me please “
Portia : “ my world is crumbling down I don’t know how I can fix it Mpilo I feel so used , I’m so ashamed of my actions , I don’t know how I will face the world  “
Mpilo :  “ please mtaka ma , talk to me what wrong? “
Portia , did not say a word she cried and held on to his brother arm , she knew that telling him about the baby she is carrying  will be the end of their relationship , she was wormed to stay away from Zweli and she went out and did the opposite and to top it up she is pregnant and the worst part  Zweli wants nothing to do with her , she was emotionally broken because part of her was in denial that she never felt anything for Zweli , the fact is she never stopped loving him and maybe that was the reason why she gave him her body to feel close to him , she hates that she loves Zweli so much but knew deep down that he is not good enough for her and Nkonzo was the ideal guy that she wanted to be with so badly  but never loved him 100% , Mpilo just comforted her till she was culm
Mpilo : “ I can not allow you to go to the wedding like this “
Portia nodded
Him : “ drink this and take a nap , will talk when you ok “
Portia took the pain killers and down them , and she pray to wake up from the bad dream she currently in

Keven : “ Susen Nene , I will be representing you so you need to tell me everything “
He took out his note pod , voice recorder and pan ,
Keve : “ so can we start “ he looked at her  , Susan was not responding to non of his question she was busy rocking herself and looking into space , what ever happen in that house triggered a mental breakdown on Susan , he took out his phone and called the Judge to give him permit , Susan will need to be booked in hospital and she need to be examined , she not in her right state of mind
Judge : hayi mani Keven its Sunday for goodness sake “
Keven : “ you ow me and I know you can pull some strings “
Silence , judge breath out loud
Judge : “ fine , my office in 30 minutes “
Keven : “ thank you “
