NARRATED

Lizwi stood tall, in front of Thulile who was confused about what had made Lizwi this angry. They stood still for a few minutes having a stare down until Lizwo started speaking.

Lizwi: "You better help yourself and tell me why before I put my hands around your neck and squeeze that little life out of you. Uwufunani ngempela umndeni wami?!" (what exactly do you want from my family?!)

Thulile: "I'm confused, what are you talking about?"

Lizwi: "You are the one who burnt my wife's hospital?!"

Thulile: "Oh my god! When did it burn?! How is she?!"

Lizwi: "Ey fokof! Drop the act and give me the answers I need."

Thulile: "Bakithi, Nkosi... why would I burn your wife's hospital?! especially when she has welcomed my daughter with open arms?!"

Lizwi: "Ey wena! Don't think you can fool me! I know you don't like my wife for whatever reason and I clearly heard you that day when you were trying to convince Xoli that we are bad people!"

Thulile: "That was my mistake and jealousy speaking. I got jealous seeing that Xoli was so hapoy to move with you guys and she didn't even have to think twice about it. I spoke to my therapist and I know I was wrong for that, that means I wouldn't do something so evil to jeopardise my daughter's comfortability."

Lizwi: "Lalela lana ke wena, you may fool your stupid husband and everyone else here but you won't fool me! I know you and how evil you are. Trust me, if i dare find out that you were involved in this or even if you knew something that you're not telling me right now, uzongazi." he says cooly walks off.

BACK IN JOBURG***

Letho was crying in her daughter's arms after telling them what had happened. Her kids all kept quiet for a moment before Fana asked a question.

Fana: "What started the fire?!"

Letho: "Everything in my hospital is in check Bafana, you know I always made sure that professional contractors did check ups every month so if the problem was from my side then I would have known."

Sqalo: "We are so sorry mah. Has dad found out who did it?!"

Letho: "I don't know, he said he had somewhere to be and he is still not back." Right then the door opens and Lizwi walks in. He looks around the room before greeting in a low voice. He moves Swelihle from her seat so he can cuddle his wife.

Lizwi: "I'm sorry themba lami but I promise you that I will find whoever did this!"

Letho: "Don't bother it Lizwi. It's fine." she says wiping her tears.

Fana: "May I please be excused?I will be back just now." he walks out and shortly after Sqalo follows him. He finds Fana outside leaning against the wall, just staring at his phone.

Sqalo: "Are you okay man?"

Fana: "Yeah I'm good."

Sqalo: "No, you're not."

Fana: "Have you noticed anything weird about Jerry?"

Sqalo: "Not really why?"

Fana: "Earlier on nje I sensed some sort of tension between him and Sweswe. It got weird when he sat next to Sweswe and she shifted from him and then left the room after. She only came back to the lounge room when Jerry left."

Sqalo: "Do you think..?"

Fana: "I don't know man but I will find out and it better not be true."
