It was around 21:30 thobile and her new family were sitting on the lounge watching tv but thula was nowhere he left in the morning as well all know he has a job that he has to take care off.

Uhm thobile it's a month since you and my brother are married don't you get bored being in the house all day?

Why would i?...concentrating on the t.v.

Well it would help if you get a job or maybe go back to school.

Sigh....please can i watch t.v. in peace my mom is at home khensani so please spare me the lecture.

Throwing hands in the air as a sign of surrender.....I'm out heading to her bedroom.

My daughter what's eating you? I mean you've been quite the whole day you okay

Yes mama I'm okay....sniffs

No no talk to me cause clearly you not okay what's wrong baby?

I don't think marriage life is for mama i mean look at me sitting here crying about someone who doesn't even love me i mean he's well educated has money comes from a well known rich family what do i have? A struggling family no money I'm not well educated I'm just a failure mama.....crying

Shshshsh....you are not a failure you hear me....you not i mean when i first came here i didn't have a thing i came just like you but i was wild i was those typical party girls worst of all I'm not from here so imagine being from the big city being married to a person whose from the rural areas i mean back to square one but do you want to know what kept me going?

Money?

Smilling....nope patience kept me going my baby i told myself I'm here i must just stop sulking and grow up i must tell myself i can do it ..you know i had dreams of my own too but life had it's own direction for me now trust me when i say you gonna get through this atleast you and thula are trying right?

Wipping her tears nodding..

Continue trying baby okay be you don't change never show a man your vulnerable side cause he will take advantage of you yea be emotional and all that but don't back down when shit goes down you hear me?

Yes mama i hear you though is not easy really.

Shifting close to her as they shared a hug....thank you mama
