●Leakwe ●

[I was on the phone with my mom]

Thandeka: When are you coming home? It's been 3 weeks now. Isn't the princess getting well?

Leakwe: She is, but she claims she's still sick. Maybe a few more days, then I'll come home.

Thandeka: Make it fast. People are waiting for your arrival. The church ladies can't stop asking me.

Leakwe: Mom, it's not me who gives instructions here. I myself want to come home, but it's the king of refuses .

Thandeka: Hang in there, okay?

Leakwe: Okay. Where is Dad?

Thandeka: You know your father,his watching football on Saturday.

Leakwe: How I wish I could join him. I'm tired of being here.

Thandeka: Hang in there. Always remember the reward when you think of giving up, my son. Please, this is big. hang on for a few days only.

Leakwe: Okay, ma.

Thandeka: Mmamoruti is calling me. Son, we will talk later. I love you.

Leakwe: I love you, Mom. Bye.

[I really need to leave this place. It's getting creepier each and every second, especially since I no longer see Rerohle or feel her presence. I miss her. She promised to be with me all the way, but here I am, all alone. I hope she's safe. Oh, my best friend, maybe that's why you couldn't see my future. Your time has come to meet your ancestors. I only wish to know where your parents buried you. I'll come visit you in the graveyard everyday]

●LUCIFER ●

Lucifer: KENTSE, KENTSE!

Kentse: Granny, you woke me up.

King Khutse: Mom, is everything okay?

Lucifer: Kentse, what nonsense is Raymond's mom telling me?

King Khutse: Mom, please...

(Lucifer interrupted Khutse)

Lucifer: You shut up, and you, Kentse, explain yourself.

Kentse: What is there to explain? I no longer want Raymond, and that's it. My heart belongs to someone else.

Lucifer: If you weren't sick, a hot slap would have landed on your face right now. Now listen here, girlie. You are going to marry Raymond, and that's it.

Kentse: But Granny, I no longer want him.

Lucifer: I said you are going to marry Raymond. That's the end of the story. You better call him and apologize. Do that by the end of today.you controlling us ends here .

[ i blame Khutse for spoiling this child. Kentse will marry Raymond by fire, by force. I'm tired of her stubborn and attitude.and change her mind over and over again]

(Lucifer left the room. It was now Kentse and her dad.)

●KENTSE ●

Kentse:dad, I don't want to marry Raymond. (crying)

King Khutse: But Kentse, why?

Kentse: I don't love him anymore. My heart loves someone else.

King Khutse: And that someone else is the one you want to get married to now?

Kentse: Yes, I want him to marry me.

King Khutse: Kentse, what will happen if someone else comes and charms you again? You will also leave this new one. Like now you are leaving Raymond.
