(At the Hospital)

MaShenge: Where's my daughter?

She said that walking over to Manqoba Who has already told the doctor about his decision. It wasn't so easy for him to decide on something like this but he had no choice.

Manqoba: There's busy with her at the Theatre
Mr Buthelezi:What did the doctor say?
Manqoba:(sighed)I had to come up with a decision because they wouldn't survive both. They had to save one of them
MaShenge:Oh My Lord
Mr Buthelezi:What did you choose?I don't even know why there's asking you to make a decision because you're not her family
Manqoba: I'm her baby daddy!
Mr Buthelezi:Yes,it ends there now what did you choose
Manqoba:I choose her,I couldn't watch her die
MaShenge:My daughter is going to be shuttered!
Mrs Zwane:What about you my son?How do you feel about all of this.

Manqoba ran his hands on his fade,so defeated. He doesn't know how to react right now but he sure knows that his heart is bleeding.

Manqoba:I don't know Ma,my heart is heavy
Mrs Zwane: Your father will fly down tomorrow, we're here for you
Manqoba:(nods) Thank you Ma

He immediately stood up after that as he saw a Doctor approaching them. He was hoping that his son is alive and healthy though he knew very well that he didn't choose to let him live but a hope was still hanging over him.

Doctor: Buthelezi family,well Miss Buthelezi is fine. She's just unconscious
MaShenge:What about the baby?Is he fine?
Doctor:(shook his head) Unfortunately he couldn't make it, I'm sorry.

A tear escaped from Manqoba's eye as he wiped it off standing on his feet.

Manqoba:How long will it take for Hlobisile to wake up?
Doctor:The medication we gave her is a little bit strong so it might take 8-9 hours or more
Manqoba: Ohk (looks at the parents) I'll be outside, I need some air
Mrs Zwane: Manqoba take care of yourself, please don't do anything stupid
Manqoba: Don't worry Ma, please call me if ever Hlobisile wakes up without me being here.

He said walking out of the hospital. He took a drive to a quiet place far from the houses as tears streamed down uncontrollable. He placed his head of a steering wheel as a painful sob escaped.

Manqoba:Oh God!

He was exhausted From crying as he looked up wiping off his tears. All he had ever wanted was a baby;his own blood but now everything it's not the same. He pressed the accelerator driving back to the hospital.

Manqoba:Ma, how's Hlobisile?
Mrs Zwane: She's not awake,I think we should go and look for a B&B
Manqoba: I'm not going anywhere, I'll just drive The Buthelezi's to Hlobisile's Apartment since it's enough to accommodate them but I'm coming back
Mrs Zwane: Manqoba please don't do this to yourself
Manqoba: I'm doing nothing mom,you won't understand anyway
Mrs Zwane: Have you contacted your wife?She has to be here supporting you, she's your wife.
Manqoba:I don't need her, I'm fine Mom and please leave Nomtha out of this because wherever she is... she's not worried about me.
Mrs Zwane: I'm sure she's worried,I mean she's your wife
Manqoba:Are you coming with?
Mrs Zwane: There's no use staying in Johannesburg so I'll go back to KZN
Manqoba:Mom, Hlobisile needs us!
Mrs Zwane: She's not my family,she also failed carrying your son so what's the use of staying here?
Manqoba:Mom you don't mean that
Mrs Zwane: I'll find my way out,but I'm worried about you and I hope you'll be fine.

Mrs Zwane said that walking out. Manqoba turned over to look at the Buthelezi's.

Manqoba:Can we leave, I'll drop you off at Hlobisile's Apartment

They nod without saying anything because honestly they were so tired.

(At A Hotel)

Zola:You look beautiful,as always.

Nomtha was quitely looking at him as he turned on his seat to look at him. He stood up with a glass of whiskey on his hand walking over to where she was. He gulped the whiskey placing the glass on the cabinet but it slipped and broke causing Nomtha to jump a little.

Zola:Relax

He says already behind Hera's his hands went to her waist pulling her to be biting her earlobe.

Nomtha:Mmmh

Zola:I fell inlove with you since we became best friends. You didn't acknowledge my love for you,he came and you immediately hooked up with him.
Nomtha:I loved him, hence I still do.
Zola:No you don't,tell me you don't.

He said placing his lips on her neck and she tilted it to the side giving him access to her neck.

Zola:If you love him as you say you do,you won't let me do this.

He turned her around smashing his lips on hers. They were so different from the last time he forced his tongue on her,she immediately responded placing her hands on his chest while he picked her up.

(At the Hospital)

She slowly opened her eyes and scanned the surroundings. She slowly coughed dry as she realised that she's at the hospital. A doctor walked in right away

Doctor: You're awake,how are you feeling?
Hlobisile:I..N..need w.. water

He nods walking to the cabinet pouring some water for her as he helped her drink. He then placed the glass back looking at her

Hlobisile: What's wrong?What happened?
Doctor:You were involved in a car accident Miss Buthelezi
Hlobisile:(panicking)M..My baby (her hand went to her stomach) Where's my baby?My baby
Doctor:Miss B....

Manqoba walked in immediately as he was about to tell her.

Manqoba:I will talk to her,can you please excuse us?
Doctor: I'll come back to do some check-up,but you'll stay here for some week or maybe two.
Hlobisile:My baby...

The doctor walked out and Manqoba took few steps to her and held her hand.

Manqoba:How are you feeling?
Hlobisile: Where's my baby Manqoba?I..I.. Where's he?
Manqoba:(faintly)He..He didn't make it,he couldn't

Hlobisile looked at him and tears just streamed and she started Shaking her head.

Hlobisile:No..no.noo...noooo not my baby!!

A painful cry escaped from her as Manqoba tried to calm her down. His heart was really broken.
