Manqoba take his pledge, finally a lot of his
actions make sense to me. The way he is so
observant and the way he carries himself is that
of a Dominant, well I’ve read about it in fact
most of my novels are BDSM I’m fascinated by
this lifestyle. I watch him as he gets up, his
whole demeanor has changed he exudes a
certain air of confidence and his body language
is no longer the relaxed Manqoba its one I’ve
experienced a few times when we were making
love.

A nurse walks in a few minutes after Dr
Peterson left and found Mpume lying still with

Nurse : yes Dr
Dr : what’s her bp levels
Nurse : 135/82
Dr : okay that’s good atleast her pulse is picking

injection
Dr : welcome back Miss Zikode. We almost lost
you there for a second
Mpume just looks at him
Dr : Nurse please put in her drip on her foot,
Miss Zikode I’m putting you on suicide watch
which means that every fifteen minutes a nurse
will come check on you. Your medicine will be
administered through your drip. Get some rest
I’ll check on you in an hour.

Michael : hi Mpume
Mpume : hi
Michael : I have to say I thought we were
making some groundwork clearly I was
mistaken.
Mpume : Dr Peterson I’m tired OK. Day in Day
out my family comes here to check on me
hoping by some miracle that they will find me
in a better mood. Keeping up appearances is
exhausting because you have to laugh even
when you don’t want to. Yesterday I saw the
disappointment in my father’s eyes when he
found out what I tried to do. I wish I succeeded
maybe I wouldn’t be feeling like this.
Michael : I’m sorry you feel that way but it’s the
way of life. You can’t go through life with no joy
or hurt. We live in a life of seasons where times
changes. Your life has been a constant downhill
but who's to say that now your uphill is here.
Mpume : people like me don’t have uphills Dr
Peterson. We are constantly in a world of hurt
and pain. People take and take and take until
there is nothing left but a shell of a person
inside.
Michael : okay then I will begin your uphill with
giving you the one thing that anchors me.
Mpume : and what is that
Michael : it’s a Bible…tell me have you ever set
your foot in a church
Mpume : yes
Michael : what made you stop
Mpume : the last time I set foot in a Church was
the day of my mother’s funeral.
Michael : what made you stop
Mpume : he took the most important person in
my life and left me to suffer so I stopped going
to church. Either way I wouldn’t have been able
to go with all the responsibilities that fell on my
shoulder.
Michael : okay we will delve deeper on those
responsibilities as we proceed with sessions. So
did you have a certain scripture that you liked.
Mpume : not really I only knew Psalms 23, well
everyone knows that one.
Michael : okay let’s reestablish your
faith…please open Galatians 5 vs 1
Mpume : Galatians 5:1 “For freedom Christ has
set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not
submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
Michael : I want you to meditate on this
scripture and find the meaning of this scripture
in your life.
Mpume : okay
Michael : alright then Miss Zikode, see you
tomorrow

reason why I called you here is because I would

you guys.
Thando : eish Sisi some of my Sundays are

want to see you faces on Sundays. Do we
understand eachother.

Manqoba : THOBEKA!!!
Pearl just stands shocked to see her brothers
after 4years. She had even forgot what being
around them was like. Ntando pushed past
Manqoba and pulled his sister in his arms
where she just burst into tears.
Manqoba : Rutherford what is my sister doing
here
The Don : ummm
Just as The Don is about to answer Ruthless and
the gang enters.
Zithulele : if you have no business being here
get the fuck out before you get caught in the
crossfire.
All the gentlemen that had come for the open
night scrambled towards the door passing
bodies as they go towards their cars.
Manqoba : now back to my question what is my
sister doing here
The Don : I didn’t know it was your sister man, I
wouldn’t have bought her if I knew.
Zithu : baby girl go get all the ladies in this place
we are getting you guys out of here
The Don : you can take your sister but you not
taking my girls.
Zithu : try and stop us
The Don : boys get them
Ruthless and the gang starts shooting at Don's
guys while they shoot back. Don runs towards
his office with two of his guards flanking him
while shooting at the guys. He calls to his guys
stationed outside but noone answers.
Zithu : you guys cover me I’ll go after
Rutherford
Mlu : I’ll go with you
The Don looks at his cameras and sees Zithu
and Mlu approaching his office.
Guard : look at camera 6
The Don : ah the girls are all in one room
Guard : let’s get the girl they won’t shoot if you
use her as a shield
The Don : good idea let’s go through the back
Zithu : Andile how many people are in the room
Andile : only two people, one coming behind
you
Mlu quickly turns and fires a shot
Peter : what the hell Mlu
Mlu : shit man sorry
He looks at his arm and sees it’s a flesh wound
Mlu : its just a flesh wound man stop being a
baby
They enter the office and find no one there
Zithu : Andile there is no one here
Andile : they are moving away from you
Zithu : they never came across us which means
there is a secret door here find it before they
get away from us
They start rummaging through the office trying
to find the secret door with no luck
meanwhile…
Pearl : Don’t worry guys my brothers will get us
out of here
The Don : I’m not so sure about that
Pearl : Don let us go before you get killed
The Don : that’s why I have you so I won’t get
killed
Pearl : what are you talking about
The Don : take her
The guard takes Pearl and they walk towards
the lounge where most of Don's guard are
laying dead and only a few are left.
The Don : Well well well I underestimated you. I
just thought you were really good businessmen.
Michael : you are a coward hiding behind a girl
The Don : you going to let me go then you get
the girl
Zithu : I don’t think so…he says behind him
The Don : I swear I will shoot her right here
right now
Michael : before you do let me reintroduce who
we are. I'm Merchant of Death and behind you
is Skull and The Bishop. Should I continue?
When The Son realised who the guys are he
started shaking with his gun rattling.
Manqoba : Ntando now
Ntando shot The Don on his arm then Pearl ran
towards Michael who pushed her behind her
while Thando shot the guard in the head.
Manqoba : Bishop get the girls, I’ll take
Rutherford to the warehouse.
Michael : Ruthless call Mkhize so he can clean
this mess. He'll meet us at the warehouse so he
can deal with locating the girls families.
Ruthless : okay
Peter and Mlu go and get the girls while Thando
and Ntando picked up The Don and walked with
him to the car.

Baba parked his car and went inside. He found
the house so spotless but as he went towards
the bedroom the smell was so bad he
immediately closed his nose. He entered the

I can hear the voice getting closer to the
kitchen
Me : uban lo okhulumayo
(Who's that)
Anele : its our older brother
Me : what older brother
Voice : dombolo wathula ngikubiza
(You are quiet while I’m calling you)
I turn and come face to face with my rapist. I
ran away from him in town and he followed me
home. I feel myself perspire and getting a bit
dizzy. I hear Anele's voice from afar calling me
then lights out.
NARRATED
Anele : Mpume
Nkosi runs to catch her so she doesn’t it her
head on the floor.
Nkosi : landa amanzi Anele
(Fetch water…)
She quickly runs to get water from the sink and
gives it to Nkosi. Baba comes running not
knowing he's too late, Mpume has already seen
Nkosi.
Baba : kwenzenjan
(What happened)
Anele : uMpume ubone uNkosi waquleka
(Mpume saw Nkosi and fainted)
Nkosi : bengingazi ukuthi ukhona
(I didn’t know she's here)
Mpume rouses and comes face to face with
Nkosi yet again. She gets up grabs her phone
and runs out the house. They scream after her
as she runs out the gate going towards the tap.
Zithu hears his phone ring in the bedroom. He
quickly rushes out of the ensuite to answer his
phone.
Zithu : MaZikode
Mpume : please come get me
Zithu : aybo baby kwenzenjan
(What’s wrong)
Mpume : Zithu angifuni ukuba la ngicela
uzongilanda
(I don’t want to be here please come and fetch
me)
Zithu : okay I’m coming…he says taking his keys
and going towards the door
Mpume : I’m not at home
Zithu : ulaphi
(Where are you)
Mpume : ngingasempompini. Ngakulesihlahla
esikhulu esingala ujika khona mawuyekhaya.
(I’m by the tap. Near the big tree where you
turn when you going to my home)
Zithu : ngsendleleni.
(I’m on my way)
Mpume : okay
Mpume sits staring at the spot that changed
her life forever, where this so called older
brother took a big part of her soul.
Baba : Ngelosi yami
(My angel)
Mpume looks at him then looks back at the
spot.
Baba : mntanam ngicela sihambe siyekhaya
khona sizokhuluma kahle
(My child can we please go home so we can talk
about this)
Mpume : liphi ikhaya? Anginakhaya mina. I
should have accepted that four years ago.
(Which home? I don’t have a home)
Zithu's car stops next to them then Zithu gets
out of the car.
Zithu : are you okay
Mpume : yes can we go please
Zithu : where are your bags
Mpume : I left them in the house
Mpume walks towards the car then stops and
turns to look at her father.
Mpume : yabo la ume khona is the exact spot
where I was violated by that animal you have in
your house.
(You see where you are standing…)
She says then enters the car.
Baba : ngicela ukhulume naye angivumele
ngichaze
(Please talk to her to allow me to explain)
Zithu : kuzoba ngathi nami ngyamujikela
(It’ll be like I’m also betraying her)
Baba : bengithi ngifuna ukuyilungisa lento
bengingazi ukuthi uzoza Lana. No MaGumede
uyeza bengingafuni ukuthi uMpume ambone.
(I wanted to fix this, I didn’t know she would
come here. MaGumede is coming I don’t know
want Mpume to see her)
Zithu : nami ngyafisa ukuke ngixoxe naye
lomama kodwa othi nginakekele uMpume
ngizobuya ntambama sihlanganise amakhanda

(I also wish to speak to this woman but let me

Baba : ngingabonga ummm
(I’d be grateful)
Zithu : Zithulele Khoza baba
Baba : Khoza
They shake hands then Zithu enters the car and
they drive off.
Zithu : are you okay
Mpume : yeah I just want to get out of this
place
Zithu : for now siya la ngibooke khona
ngizobuya ngilande impahla zakho.
(We going to where I booked so I can come
back and fetch your clothes)
Mpume : okay
Baba stands looking at the spot with Mpume's
words ringing in his ears. It ignites the hate he
has developed for MaGumede but it didn’t stop
him from feeling like such a failure. He failed
Mpume by not realising how much she has
endured the past five years in the hands of
MaGumede. He has also failed Nkosingiphile
and he feels like its because of him that he
ended up doing such a cruel act on his own
blood. He needed to make things right but first
he had to deal with MaGumede. He drove back
home to wait for her arrival. As soon as he
drove in his kids came out of the house with
worried expressions on their faces.

She just cries silently
Zithu : ngibuza umbuzo, uMpume ukwenzeni

regalia with my cousin’s daughter as my
Magotshana. Who will help get me things if I go
to Manqoba's home. Zithu was the head of the
lobola negotiations with Michael and Mlu. They
decided to handle everything themselves and
Gogo allowed them. Both families were singing
against each other and it was so much fun.

everywhere and speeches were done then
everybody retired for the night because
tomorrow was umabo. Isigcawu was going to
be at a park near Manqoba’s home in Nanda

ceremony and people could walk by foot. Busi
and her bridesmaids slept esihlahleni as
tradition says. In the morning Pearl goes to give

Busi gets up and starts dancing towards me and
it looks like she knew what she was doing. The
guys from my family start celebrating and
dancing. The families start dancing together
then we all leave going back home and as the
gate opens Busi breaks out in a run towards our
backrooms.
