{Sindi woke up early in the morning, preparing to go and visit Paul. When she there, Paul had the courage to tell her how he felt. Paul said this, after Mr Khumalo left them to catch up.}
Mr Khumalo : {KNOCKED.}
Paul : Whose it?
Mr Khumalo : It's me.
Paul : Give me a second. I'm coming.
Mr Khumalo : Okay.
Paul : {DRESSED UP AND WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR.} Sindi...
Sindi : Hi...
Paul : I didn't know you were back in town.
Sindi : I just came back yesterday. I went to Mr Khumalo's place. But you weren't there, so Mr Khumalo suggested that I took a nap. And that he was going to bring me here when I woke up. So, here we are.
Paul : Here you are.
Mr Khumalo : {CLEAR HIS THROAT.}
Paul : Oh sorry. Please come in.
Mr Khumalo : I won't be long, I have to go to the gym.
Paul : Actually I was about to go there myself.
Mr Khumalo : {TELLING PAUL TO STAY WITH SINDI IN SIGN LANGUAGE.}
Paul : But.
Mr Khumalo : What's wrong?
Sindi : I can go home and come back later.
Paul : But I can just hang out with Sindi instead.
Mr Khumalo : Great. Let me be on my way to the gym. See you guys.
Sindi : Goodbye.
{MR KHUMALO LEFT AND PAUL'S ANGER RAGED SO HIGH. IN A WAY THAT SINDI GOT SCARED, BECAUSE SHE HAD NEVER SEEN PAUL IN THAT WAY BEFORE. BUT HE CALMED HIMSELF DOWN, BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE DONED SOMETHING HE WAS GOING TO REGRET HIS WHOLE LIFE.}
Paul : Where have you been?
Sindi : I was in Cuba studying.
Paul : And you didn't think of saying goodbye.
Sindi : I received this scholarship in a very short notice. I had to go there asap.
Paul : You could have sent me a message.
Sindi : I didn't have a phone back then.
Paul : From your parent's phone, to Mr Khumalo's. I didn't have a phone too.
Sindi : I'm sorry.
Paul : I thought you have moved on with your life and that you were planning on staying there.
Sindi : You mean to tell me that you have moved on.
Paul : There is this girl that I met few weeks back.
Sindi : Ohh.
Paul : We're just friends. Remember when I said there was something I wanted to tell you, then I said we talk about it some other time.
Sindi : Yes.
Paul : It made see that life can change in a matter of seconds.
Sindi : What are you really trying to say?
Paul : I don't want to lose you again.
Sindi : You won't. I'm here to stay. I'll always be there for you.
Paul : That is what you said the last time we were together.
Sindi : I meant everything I said. Then I received a scholarship. I couldn't turn it down. It was an opportunity of the lifetime.
