Amo: nna eng ( what)
Jabu: entlek nchaele mo..... o nagana gore o Queen Nefertiti wena neh...the Queen of Egypt.... ( tell me here....you think you’re Queen Nefertiti right...the Queen of Egypt)

***then he walked out looking angry....Amo swallowed hard and she sat on the edge of the bed and she sighed, she doesn’t even know when she decided to pack up and move back in....but when she thought of that woman Lorraine she just felt a rush of panic take over her and she started packing....on her way here she told herself that she won’t let some bitch take what’s hers just like that, she told herself that she’ll do anything to save her marriage***

Sbu: eya Rakgadi ( yes aunty)

Cass: yeah right
Mbali: leave the boy alone Cass
Cass: uyajola lo ( this one is dating)
Phumi: don’t mind him Sbu
***Sbu nodded and he continued to eat...he was nervous about the game next weekend but knowing his family will be there to support him meant everything to him.....then Amo walked to the dining area and the room became quiet....she walked to where Lorraine was sitting which was next Jabu and she stood behind her***
Amo: get up
***Lorraine frowned***
Lolly: askies
Amo: I said get up I want to sit
***Lorraine frowned then she chuckled lightly***
Thandi: really Amo

Amo: this is my house Thandi so I don’t get were you fit in

Ruslan: amour no
Thandi: wa bona wena...wena.....heh...nxa

Sbu: baba may I go eat in the lounge
***he said not looking pleased at all and Jabu nodded and Sbu walked away with his plate then Lorraine took her plate***
Lolly: I’ll go join Sbu excuse me
Jabu: go take another chair and come and sit this side
Lolly: no its fine Jabu I’ll go join Sbu
Jabu: Lorraine!!!
***she sighed....Heath got up and went to take the chair for her and put it on the space next to Jabu and Lorraine sat down much to Amo’s annoyance, in fact she was angry and right now she despised everyone sitting on the table cause it looked like they have turned against her and approved of Lorraine***
Jabu: o right
***he asked Lorraine and she nodded and Amo chuckled***
Amo: so im already replaced huh
***she said looking at all of them***
Cass: you’re looking for a fight and you’ll get it if you continue with this shit

Amo: ebile o na le molomo ( you even have mouth to talk)....so you gonna let her talk to me like th...
Phumi: AI MAN ENOUGH!!!!
***she roared and they looked at her startled ***
Phumi: Amogelang or whatever the fuck your name is....his family despise you because of what you did to Jabu....you rejected his family and made him choose between you and them and on top of that you got him arrested for fucks sake what did you think was gonna happen....secondly you compared your husband with his brothers and you think his brothers wives will like you after that....huh....
***silence***
Phumi: wa tena wena mxm ( you’re annoying)
***she got up with her son in her arms***
Phumi: Thandi please show me where I can put him down
***Thia was asleep...Thandi got up with Lile and walked away and Phumi followed her...Mbali got up with Kalu in her arms too***
Ray: where are you going?
Mbali: I need to change his diaper baby...come Leya
***Leya got off her father’s lap and followed Mbali as Amo’s tears ran down her cheeks***
Amo: so you gonna sit here and not reprimand them with the way they are talking to me
***she said with a breaking voice***
Jabu: Amogelang not now
***she got up and pushed her chair back with force and it fell backwards ***
Amo: I want all of you out of my house!!
***Jabu closed his eyes trying to keep his cool***
Amo: get out of my house now or I’ll call the cops to come and throw you out !!!

***he pushed his plate way from him roughly making it crash with other plates and bowls on top of the table and he got up and walked away looking angry....Cass breathed out loud while Heath looked mad angry and Ruslan just shook his head***
Cass: this one was send by the devil himself to test Jabu
Ruslan: not now Cass

*** Well Sbu and Lile left with Thandi and Ruslan.....Jabu didn’t want his children to witness anything bad happening cause he thought Amo would start another fight but surprisingly she didn’t.....her and jabu didn’t even share a bed that’s how bad things are between them.....Anyway now Lorraine is in the kitchen making herself some cup of coffee, she had a rough night...she didn’t sleep a wink thinking Amo might attack her during the night....she would wake up whenever she heard any noise no matter how faint it is....What Amo said to her made her feel uneasy right after everyone left....She told her that she’s ready to have blood in her hands if needs be to save her marriage and that spooked her.....Anyway after the coffee she’s gonna get ready for her flight back to KZN , staying another night here was a no no....she stood there sipping her coffee slowly thinking about the drama that happened yesterday and the creepy but fascinating couple being Phumi and Castiel....her thoughts were interrupted when someone clapped their hands dramatically, she turned and it was Amo***
Amo: you have no shame you home wreaker
***Lorraine rolled her eyes***
Amo: Jabu will never leave me...he’s just using you shame....using you to make me jealous

***Sbu was in the kitchen making himself a cup of coffee....They slept late with Mpe playing PlayStation....as he was finishing preparing his coffee he felt someone standing behind him and he turned only to find Carl standing by the entrance of the kitchen with a naughty look on his face biting his lower lip....he turned back and faced down crept out with his eyes popped out....he cleared his throat***
Sbu: umm can..can I help you
Carl: yes you can
***Sbu turned and looked at him***
Sbu: you want some coffee too
***he said taking a sip from his coffee***
Carl: nope but I won’t say no to having you for breakfast

***he said to himself shocked to the core***
AT JAY’S HOUSE
***Nomhle is in the kitchen preparing food for the kids more especially Tiara...all the male kids slept over at her house and it was just chaos everywhere.... she’s worried about Tiara and her state of mind since MJ broke up with her...yes Jay told her what was going on and even though she’s pleased that Mj broke things off she was worried about Tiara...you know how painful first breakups are so imagine that happening to your twelve year old...even though she was angry that she was dating at her age but she still felt sorry for her, first breakups are hell....With all the boys at her house, the noise was too much yhoo....sometimes it get too quiet and she would find them discussing what looks like something serious then it will get noisy, like right now it’s too quiet and she wondered what they are up to....she wiped her hands and went to check on them...she found Lwandle, Lwandile and Thula while Mnqobi and Lwazi weren’t with them***
Nomhle: where’s Mnqobi and Lwazi
Lwandle: they went to the bathroom mama
***she frowned***
Nomhle: both of them
***they nodded looking innocent***
Nomhle: ok let me go check on them
Lwandle: mama ummm Mnqobi went to the bathroom downstairs and Lwazi to the bathroom upstairs....they both went to pee but I think Mnqobi has to poop
Nomhle: ooh
Lwandile: yes mommy
Thula: mama im hungry
***he made a sad look on his face and Nomhle sighed***
Nomhle ok let me go finish up
Thula: ok
***she went back to the kitchen***
Lwandle: that was good Thula
***he whispered to him***
Thula: but im really hungry
Lwandile: it doesn’t matter she didn’t go to check on Mnqobi and Lwazi
Lwandle: mmhh
***he nodded***
UPSTAIRS
***Mnqobi slowly opened the door and he peeped in and saw that Tiara is sleeping hugging her teddy bear and he also saw her phone on top of the side drawer..... he slowly went in and he went down and crawled slowly from the door towards her side drawer as Lwazi kept a look out outside the door....inside, Mnqobi slowly got up and reached for her phone and he went back to kneeling on the floor and he put in the pattern Lwandle showed him hoping that it’s the right one cause even Lwandle wasn’t sure it’s the right one...Lwandle is an observant child so he always observes everyone in the family who owns a phone and Tiara is not an exception ....anyway the phone unlocked and he took out a paper and pencil and he went to her WhatsApp and clicked on “ baby” then he clicked on the icon at the top right then he went to ”view contacts” and he scrolled down and saw his numbers then he wrote them down.....he then went back to their chat and he read them then he frowned***
Nomhle: are you two ok
*** she said as they walked to the lounge and they nodded...the boys made eye contacts amongst themselves and Mnqobi nodded then they smiled and sat down.... Nomhle frowned at them***
Nomhle: what are you all up to
***the boys looked at each other***
Them: nothing...
***she looked at them for some time without saying anything ****
Nomhle: mmmmh
***she gave Mnqobi and Lwazi’s their food and she went back to the kitchen to take Tiara’s food to her room***
Lwandle: so what do you have planned bafo
Mnqobi: we gonna need a phone
Lwandle: we can use mama’s phone
Mnqobi: no we need a phone he can’t call back on....
***they all kept quiet thinking***
Lwandle: I will make a plan
Lwandile: we should all have his numbers
Them: yeah
Lwandle: by the time we are done with him he will never look at our sister again
Them: mmmmh
Mnqobi: what about the teacher
Lwandle: aah that one....i told her I love her and she laughed at me
Lwazi: don’t worry we will help you get her
Lwandle: kanjani ( how)
Mnqobi: we will think of a plan right bafozas
Them: mmmmh
***they continued to eat while chatting***
