2394 Words10 Pages

You're taking Mapitsi's child to raise as your own.

How many women would do something so selfless?

When were you going to tell me Mapitsi's child will be living with us?

Celia! But...

No! Now must I take care of a toddler?

No, I can't.

- What do you want from my sister?
- You know that I only date grown women.

Anyway, she and your mother were wondering if I'll be coming to Turf in December.

Don't you think MaNtuli would want to know that you're a snake?

I'll tell them why you can't come.

Being a loan shark is not a great idea.

I'll do this whether you like it or not.

If you can't support me, there's the door.

Go write your test, or whatever you're doing today.

Go!

Alpheus...

It's nice, isn't it?

What do you know about nice? …show more content…

You know, he'd sell just about anything to make money.

Just last week Wallet was hiding from him.

I heard about that.

Maybe this was the reason for that.

Sister, I hope that he knows that being a loan shark is illegal.

Actually, I wonder if Charlie will ever live a straight life.

Charlie and a straight life?
That's like paraffin and water.

They don't mix, Brother.

It's open!

- Hello.
- Hi.

What's up?

Look, Emkay, you can't come to Turf in December.

As far as I know, your mother would love to have me there. I don't have beef with her.

- Dude, it's my home.
- Yes, and it's her home too.

So until she says I'm not welcome,
I'm going.

Why? Don't you have your own family to spend time with?

Dude, just stay away from Turf and my family, okay?

Are you scared that your mother will find out that her son's Judas Iscariot?

Here we go again!

Can't we just forget about the case?
What's done is done.

It's easy for you to say because you're free, right? Boy, I've just come to tell you not to come to Turf in December. That's it.

I spoke to my mother this weekend.

I told her about how you and Tbose have betrayed me.

She said she'd call your mother and warn her that no one betrays her son and gets away with …show more content…

That's what you should be worrying about.
Don't let that happen, sister.

- Morning.
- Morning, Ntate Maputla.

Do you want some tea?

No, I'll make it myself.

Hey, did I tell you about the drama with Charles Kunutu at the hospital?

Yoh!

Look at the time! I'd better get going or I'll be late.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye, sister.

Really, Meikie?

You told that woman about our issues with Mapitsi?

- What doesn't she know about us?
- Oh please, John!

MaNtuli knows all our secrets.

You know that woman's louder than Berry FM.

No! Please stop telling her our business.

- Bro, we have a problem.
- Dude, I'm studying.

And why aren't you at the library?

Are you deaf?

- We have a serious problem.
- And I said I don't care.

Bro, our parents are about to find out that we're testifying against Emkay.

- How?
- Emkay's mother is going to call my mother.

- How did you find out?
- Emkay's just told me.

- This is a mess.
- My mother's going to kill me, bro.

What are we going to do, Tbose?

Has your brother-in-law lost his mind?

- What has Charlie done now?
- You don't know that Charles's a loan shark?

- What?
- The whole of Turfloop is full of his posters.
