While the talk of pregnancy spread like wildfire among the kids, there was another shift happening at Miracle House. Xolani, the new boy from Aliwal North, was beginning to feel the weight of his own burden. He had spent weeks trying to blend in, trying to keep his true self hidden from the others. But the rumors about Nandi and the gossip swirling around the house made him realize something: he wasn't the only one who was different.
The whispers and sideways glances directed toward Nandi were a reminder that this house—full of people who had suffered, endured, and learned to survive—wasn't always the easiest place to find a home. And yet, Xolani found himself drawn to Sisonke. There was something in the way Sisonke carried himself—something brave and vulnerable—that made Xolani feel like he wasn't alone. They had both been through their own pain. And now, in the midst of Nandi's secret, they would have to find their own way of surviving, too.
