Mkhulu: heh?
Thandi: he cheated and got Omphile's aunt pregnant....the same woman who killed him
Mkhulu: ini? (what)
***she told them everything that happened except for her new relationship with Ruslan cause she was scared they might judge her somehow but at least she gave them a hint about both of them "moving on" ***
Gogo: ooh nkosi yam (ooh my God)
***she said with her hands on top of her head***
Thandi: ngiyaxolisa gogo no mkhulu for not telling you....my mind was all over the place and when they called me and told me James was killed by his girlfriend and that im supposed to sit on the mattress for him that's when I realized that I should've told both families of our break up
Mkhulu: so his family didn't know about the other woman
Thandi: his brother knew and my brothers also knew but I told them to stay out of it and that I'll handle it then he left for Limpopo and since then I haven't seen him
Mkhulu: yeses!
Thandi: then I heard ukuthi he came back but he never, not even once came to see the boys, he would only call them and make promises that he would come see them then he wouldn't show up
***she sighed***
Gogo: what did I say to you when you told me James proposed Thandi?
***Thandi looked down and she swallowed hard***
Gogo: ngikhuluma nawe Thandi (im talking to you Thandi)....what did I say?
