2 MONTHS LATER
REA
MA: RELAX
PHONE BREAKS
ME: HAO MASEGO
SEGO: (CLICKS TONGUE)
ONE MINUTE IT WAS MOAGI CONTROLLING OUR MOVEMENTS AND NEXT ITS RAFAEL TRYING TO SHOW UP FOR HER AND THE BABIES. SHE WAS FEELING OVERWHELMED AND DUE SOON SO I UNDERSTAND.
MA: NANGU uPHULE iPHONE (SHE JUST BROKE HER PHONE)
ME: (SIGHS)
SHE DIDN'T DESERVE THE TRAUMA AND STRESS. SHE LOOKED SO GOOD, SHE DIDN'T DESERVE THE PAIN SHE WAS GOING THROUGH.
PHONE RINGS
MA ANSWERS HER PHONE
MA: SON
...: WHY IS MASEGO NOT ANSWERING HER PHONE
MA: UH.. HER PHONE BROKE
MOAGI: I WANT TO KNOW IF SHES STILL GOING TO THE DOCTORS APPOINTMENT, I NEED TO ASSIGN SOME SECURITY WITH HER
MA: I DON'T KNOW. SHES IN HER ROOM AND I DOUBT SHE WANTS TO GO ANYMORE. YOU ARE STRESSING HER
MOAGI: IM TRYING TO PROTECT HER
MA: NO YOU'RE NOT IF HER BABIES LIVES ARE AT RISK DUE TO YOUR DECISIONS, BOTH YOU AND RAFAEL
MOAGI: ARGH, RAFAEL DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE AROUND HER, I WONDER WHO TOLD YOU THAT SPEAKING LIKE THIS MAKES YOU A SAINT, ALL OF A SUDDEN
MA: I PLAYED MY PART IN THE TRAUMA BUT THESE ARE HER FIRST BABIES. I DON'T WANT HER EXPERIENCE TO BE RUINED BECAUSE OF TWO SELFISH MEN WHO DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH TURMOIL AND PAIN WE GO THROUGH WHILE PREGNANT. I HAVE APOLOGISED MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE AS MUCH AS YOUR DAD DID ALL THOSE THINGS TO ME. I DID NOT PACK UP MY BAGS AND LEAVE WITH MY BABIES, I ENDURED WHAT HE PUT ME THROUGH AND WORSE, ALSO INFLICTING THE PAIN HE PUT ME THROUGH ON YOU GUYS AS WELL. I AM A SHITTY MOM, I GET IT. BUT I WONT BE A SHITTY GRANDMA. I WILL SHOW UP FOR MY GRANDKIDS THE WAY I WAS SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP FOR YOU, SO I DO NOT CARE IF NOT REPORTING BACK TO YOU WHEN WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING IS SELFISH. RAFAEL CHOSE TO PROTECT HER, HES NOT SELFISH, BUT YOU ARE, FOR RESTRICTING YOUR LITTLE SISTER OF HER HAPPINESS. I KNOW YOU FEEL BETRAYED THAT HE WENT FOR YOUR SIDTER WHILE YOU GUYS WERE NOT IN GOOD TERMS, BUT USING YOUR OWN SISTER TO GET BACK AT HIM IS SELFISH, LET ALONE WHEN SHE IS PREGNANT. (VOICE CRACKING) IF YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM HER, YOU WILL COME TO THIS DAMN HOUSE AND COMMUNICATE LIKE YOU ACTUALLY GIVE A FUCK OR JUST DON'T CALL OUR PHONES EVER AGAIN.
SHE HANGS UP.
MA: (BREATHING HEAVILY) OH..
I GET UP QUICKLY AND GO TO HER
ME: (YELLS) LESEGO. ROXXY. COME!!
LESEGO RUNS TOWARDS ME, MOUTHFUL OF CAKE
L: WHAT HAPPENED ?

ME: SHE WAS TALKING TO MOAGI. IT WAS REALLY BAD L.
L: (KNEELS DOWN) MAMA

ROXXY: AND THEN ?
SHE PLACES HER PLATE ON THE TABLE AND HELPS US
L: MAMA, HAI. VUKA
SHE HITS HER GENTLY ON THE CHEEKS AND L POURS HER WITH WATER
MA: (GASPS)
