Bafana's POV:
I wake up the next morning with a pounding headache and I pop a few of the painkillers on my bedside table given to me for my shoulder. I can't help but overthink about what happened yesterday with the Russians and the deal gone wrong , I can't help but constantly think of ways to protect my family, the company.....and myself as well. I lay on my bed facing the ceiling and let my thoughts drift me away into a realm of overthinking. Finally I decide to snap out of it and I go and take a cold shower. After the shower I decide to go and chill by the pool and sis'Nomsa offers to bring me a drink.A few minutes into that my brothers arrive and join me.
Gazi: Sho bafo.
Bafana : Sho.
Mandlendoda: kunjani buthi?
