INTRODUCTION
This drama is about two young high school students James and Sinothando who are doing matric at
Mavimba high school. These two students are in a battle of bringing their love alive as long as they
promised each other and the promise was forever in love with each other but they knew that it is not
going to be a nice battle so they were ready for anything as long as they can be able to fight and win
the battle of living together forever as they grow older and grey. After Sinothando was rejected from
University of Zululand because she didn’t meet the requirements for the course she wanted which was
BCom in Law studies so she went the other way around and she went to WSU to study for teaching.
Now the pressure for them is so high and they were worried that they won’t be able to see each other
for about a year or maybe never see each again other because James was going at the University of
Johannesburg and he had no hope of coming back until he finished his studies in sound engineering.
It was messy journey to both of them but as much as they wanted to keep their love alive they also
must work hard on their studies to make their families happy and proud. Luckily they met after 2 years
when they visited their families on December holidays and they had a chance of reconnecting again.
The lover’s knot was as strong as before and it presented the unbreakable bond eternal connection
between them. It was the best holidays for them and they knew that they had one year to go before
they settle and focus on them also their future as one thing. They had unprotected sexually contact
for the first in 2 years and Sinothando was about to be on her periods a day after the contact so she
got pregnant even thou a child is the gift from god but they never plan any of that. Sinothando
discovered that after 8 six weeks when she noticed her sudden changes on her body structure and
she started having mood swings and her mother Mrs Maseko noticed everything but she was waiting
for Sinothando to convince everything to her. Remember James has no idea that she is pregnant so
she told her friend Fikile about the changes in her body immediately she suggested that Sinothando
takes a pregnancy test to be sure that she is really pregnant or what. They made a test at Fikile’s
home and the test confirmed that she is really pregnant she freaked out a bit because what but then
she realised that she has to tell her mother and James about the news. So she left Fikile’s home and
she was so scared worried about her studies at the same time about what her mother will say when
she hears the news however whether she like it or not she has to tell her mother either way. When her
mother heard the news she didn’t freak out but she asked the father of the unborn child and Sinothando
told her mother the father of her unborn child and they prepared to go at James’s home to report the
pregnancy to his parents. Cekiso family was shocked by the news but then they came to an agreement
and when they called James who is their son luckily he didn’t deny that the child might be his. So the
two families immediately they had a strong bond concerned about the unborn child. However

asked the father of the unborn child and Sinothando told her mother the father of her unborn child

shocked by the news but then they came to an agreement and when they called James who is their
son luckily he didn’t deny that the child might be his. So the two families immediately they had a
strong bond concerned about the unborn child. However 6 months later while the two lovers were
finishing their studies and when Sinothando’s belly was starting to be no longer a secret the
university threatened kicked her out of the school because they claimed that she was being a bad
example to the university so she had no choice to leave the school. And luckily two weeks after she
was kicked she gave a birth to a baby boy named Simangaliso because his birth was a miracle and
a blessing in disguise. Sinothando called his boyfriend James telling him about the news starting
from how she was kicked from school then the baby boy’s birth. James was obviously happy to hear
the news and excited to see the baby boy when he returned home from university. The university
agreed to let Sinothando her final exams after she gave birth so another miracle was with her luckily
the Cekiso family wanted to take care of the child until she’s done with her studies and her mother

ACT 1 SCENE 7

“It’s Saturday and the match BLUE DEVILS VS WESTKINGS is about to start. DON and JAMES are
watching from a distance while SINOTHANDO is looking for JAMES on the other side. Few minutes
later they found each other and they finished their unfinished business. Fikile surprised others with
party hitting later after the match and James wasn’t sure about coming to the party so he said no.”
DON: (enthusiastic and passionate) This match is going to be awesome bro.
JAMES: You seem so passionate bro what makes you be so sure about that?
DON: According to my knowledge BLUE DEVILS are the best dominating team in the log right now.
JAMES: I know but BLUE DEVILS’s defence is so poor. And if they don’t fill the spaces WESTKINGS
will win even by counter attacks.
DON: I know bro and the last game they filled the spaces and they managed the game well.
JAMES: YES!! Kick off.
DON: We’re been waiting moment bro.
JAMES: There is a new player in the field today bro.
DON: (surprised) Who is he?
JAMES: (pointing at the field) Number 9 of the BLUE DEVILS.
DON: That’s Mel Bee. He was the best striker of EASTKINGS.
JAMES: (looking amazing staring at DON) EASTKINGS bro?
DON: Yeah.
JAMES: The same team that is on one in the log?
DON: The same team bro.
JAMES: He is dominating in this match already.
DON: And he is going to be the man of the match watch and see.
JAMES: (laughing at DON) You are exaggerating now bro.
DON: Serious bro. Please watch the game until the end of the match.
JAMES: Okay bro lets watch the game.
DON: It’s half time already let’s go get some refreshments. (they went to a Somalia shop across the
street finally SINOTHANDO found JAMES on their way back to park. When they were rushing the
second half)
DON: (pointing at the park’s game) Holy Moses bro. isn’t that Sinothando?
JAMES: (looking focused at park’s gate) Oh thank god. There she come.
DON: You knew about this?
JAMES: Yeah bro but I didn’t plan this I swear.
DON: So what’s going to be?
JAMES: Chill. Let’s go hear what is she going to say.
DON: And she is coming with Fikile.
JAMES: I said chill bro. I got you.
DON: They’re almost here. (they all four met at the park’s gate and James greet them. Sinothando
wanted to have a long facial conversation with James. Don and Fikile had no choice but to give them
space to have the conversation alone.)
JAMES: (smiling) Hello ladies.
FIKILE AND SINOTHANDO: Hey Jay.
DON: Jay?
SINOTHANDO: Is that a wrong thing to say Don?
DON: (smiling) Not at all Thando.
JAMES: Leave her alone Don.
FIKILE: (smiling looking at Sinothando) Somebody is defending his girlfriend.
JAMES: (smiling) And you are not telling a fairy-tale my dear friend.
SINOTHANDO: (blushing) So you are going to talk about me as if I’m not here huh?
DON: They both admire you Sinothando and you have to understand that.
SINOTHANDO: (smiling) I understand that so much.
FIKILE: (opening her arms to hug Sinothando) Come here friend.
SINOTHANDO: (smiling while going to straight to Fikile’s arm) My loving.

SINOTHANDO: Absolutely Jay.
FIKILE: Guys me and DON will go finish up the game now. I believe you need privacy to talk your talk.
SINOTHANDO: (smiling at Fikile) Thank you so much girlfriend. And we need that talk so badly.
DON: (rocking James) Boy later bro.
JAMES: See you. (they left James with Sinothando)
SINOTHANDO: I’ve been looking for you James. Where were you?

Sino the case is deep than I thought you know.

SINOTHANDO: Come on Jay I have the whole day and I don’t mind being ears.
JAMES: The thing is that I’ve having deep feelings every time I see you or hear somebody mentioning
your name.
SINOTHANDO: (smiling) Jay what are you to say exactly?
JAMES: What I’m trying to say is that I really like you and I would like to make it officially.
SINOTHANDO: (blushing) What took you so long Jay. I’ve been to hear that coming from you.
JAMES: (smiling) Somethings need a right moment to be done and I believe this is the right moment.
SINOTHANDO: It is the best moment Jay.
JAMES: So what now?
SINOTHANDO: (laughing) I will think about it.
JAMES: (getting little nervous) Think about it?
SINOTHANDO: (laughing) Stop being nervous James. I’m just joking.
JAMES: Do you blame me for that?
SINOTHANDO: (blushing and smiling at James) Not at all. Anyway I really like you too James and I
would like make it official with you. Please don’t take my heart for granted.
JAMES: (smiling at Sinothando) Why would I do that to someone I love so much with all my heart.
SINOTHANDO: (blushing) You love me now?
JAMES: (giggling) No I don’t love you. I adore you so much.
SINOTHANDO: You’re so funny Jay.
JAMES: This is just the start. Take a chill pill and you will see how fun and loving I am.
SINOTHANDO: (laughing at James) No need to advertise yourself Jay I can see.
JAMES: (smiling) That is not true Sinothando.
SINOTHANDO: (smiling) What is real then?
JAMES: What I am telling you is real.
SINOTHANDO: Full of jokes huh?
JAMES: If that’s how you are going to put then yeah.
SINOTHANDO: (laughing) You such a boredom already.
JAMES: (laughing) oh really miss-know-it-all?
SINOTHANDO: (turning slowly looking at James) I really enjoyed myself today. And you are good
company to hang out with. So I would love another date someday (blushing)
JAMES: (looking straight to Sinothando’s eyes} I really enjoyed myself too my love.
SINOTHANDO: (smiling) Why did we take time to make things official?
JAMES: I guess we didn’t have guts at that time Thando.
SINOTHANDO: Guts for what?
JAMES: (smiling) Come on Sino.
SINOTHANDO: What…
JAMES: I’m falling for you.
SINOTHANDO: (blushing) oh really?
JAMES: (smiling) I’m not really a good liar.
SINOTHANDO: (laughing) You sound like a big fat liar
JAMES: (smiling) Me? A liar. You guess wrong.
SINOTHANDO: I wonder who you want to convince right now.
JAMES: It’s you Sinothando.
SINOTHANDO: (smiling) I’m not convinced sorry.
JAMES: It feels to see you smiling every minute we’re talking.
SINOTHANDO: I’m glad you are noticing how happy I am.
JAMES: Happy?
SINOTHANDO: Is that shocking you?
JAMES: Not at all. Just wanted to hear you say “Yes”
SINOTHANDO: Stop being dramatic.
JAMES: Oh so you telling me that I’m the drama king now?

JAMES: Okay. I will make time for you.
SINOTHANDO: (smiling) Thank you my boyfriend.
JAMES: (smiling nicely) I like the sound of that.

I love the chemistry between us. It’s a super turning on.
JAMES: (smiling) Your lips.
SINOTHANDO: (blushing) What’s wrong with my lips Jay?
JAMES: (smiling) Come closer. I will show you what is wrong with them.
SINOTHANDO: I know what you are trying to do and it’s not going to work.
JAMES: And what is that?
SINOTHANDO: You want to kiss me Jay.
JAMES: Do you blame me?
SINOTHANDO: I didn’t say that.
JAMES: I still want to kiss anyway.
SINOTHHANDO: (blushing) What are you waiting for Jay?
JAMES: (slowing moving close kissing Sino when he was done. He told Sino that he loves her with a
smile on his face) I love you Sino.
SINOTHANDO: (smiling) I love you too Jay.
JAMES: Let’s go look for others.
SINOTHANDO: (luckily Fikile and Don popped out park game and seem like the match is over. Fans
are singing and dancing 1-0 against EASTKINGS.) Wait do you hear that?
JAMES: Yeah it’s a song.
SINOTHANDO: (pointing at field) The game is over.

DON: The match ended 1-0 bro.
JAMES: I guess I figured that out bro.
FIKILE: (she was looking wondered and kinda excited at the same time) Guys?
SINOTHANDO: (they were all surprised but Sino asked) What is it dear?
FIKILE: I forgot to tell you about the party that will be happening at the Blue Devils guest house at
19:00 till 07:00 Sunday morning.
JAMES: I wish to go but…
SINOTHANDO: (she looked worried and sad) But what babe?
DON: Mr Cekiso will not allow that I guess (then he put his hand on his mouth and wondered)
SINOTHANDO: I wasn’t talking with you Don so please hold it right there.
DON: (he smiled and looked at Sino) Sorry will you forgive me?
FIKILE: So what’s up James? Are you coming to the party?
JAMES: No I don’t think I will come to the party but surely I will ask my dad hopefully he will allow to
come anyway I’m already 18.
DON: Bro I have an idea about this matter.
JAMES: (he paid attention to Don) I’m listening bro…
DON: Remember your father had us when we were talking about Sino the other day right?
JAMES: Yeah but where are you going with this?
DON: Okay bro. what we’ll do is that we’re going use your relationship with Sino as a ticket of you
going to the party.
JAMES: I get your point but how?
FIKILE: Yeah how?
SINOTHANDO: Really guys?
JAMES: This is not a good idea bro.
FIKILE: Okay then come up with the perfect MR-KNOW-IT-ALL. (she looked at James)
JAMES: I’m not saying I have a perfect idea just that I don’t think he will buy the story at all.
DON: Don’t you trust me?
JAMES: I trust you bro but I know how stubborn and overprotective about me bro.
DON: Come on once we mention anything about Sino trust me he will agree with us.
FIKILE: Are you sure Don?
DON: 100% sure baby girl do you know I’m the mastermind. Look if we say it’s Sino’s birthday party
and you will call them every three hours as a sign of showing them you are safe that so that they won’t
too much.
JAMES: THREE HOURS!!!
DON: Yeah bro it that any problem there?
(Even Sino got involved herself in the planning)
SINOTHANDO: Don’t you think 3 hours is too much guys? Anyway they will be dead sick by the 2nd
hours.
FIKILE: Okay let’s allow Mr Cekiso decides with the checking up time. Alright?
ALL: (they all agreed) Okay.
FIKILE: So what’s next now?
DON: Okay. What is next is that me and James go to his father ask for his permission.
JAMES: If we are having problem with my dad just in case he doesn’t say yes. We’ll call you Sino to
come over and rescue us right?
SINOTHANDO: What will I be doing or saying when I come to your father’s house?
DON: You will introduce yourself as James’s girlfriend as you are.
SINOTHANDO: Okay what if that do not work Don?
DON: Fikile will play her play too on this one as well.
FIKILE: As what Don?
DON: As Sino’s mom.
SINOTHANDO: Are you crazy?
DON: No I’m not and I wish I was but we’re in the corner here.
FIKILE: What will it be the plan actually?
DON: This is where you’re coming in Sino.
SINOTHANDO: Go ahead I’m listening.
JAMES: You will act like you told your mother about us and she wants to see me so she invited me to
attend your birthday party.
SINOTHANDO: Are you guys sure about this huh?
DON: Chill Sino please. This is a well-planned strategy.
SINOTHANDO: Well-planned? Really?
JAMES: Yeah babes well-planned.
JAMES: All this will be our plan to pull through if my dad denies me to go.
FIIKILE: Good luck on that. (Don and James left to Mr Cekiso with their plan hoping to work)

ACT 1 SCENE 8

“Don and James arrived at the Cekiso Residences Mr Cekiso was at the lounge reading a paper. As
they approached him they started acting like unsatisfied puppies so Mr Cekiso noted there is
something they wanna say. He was refusing that the boys go to the party but Mrs Cekiso overheard
the conversation and she was on their sides so they got away luckily and they got a chance to explore
their freedom outdoors.”
MR CEKISO: Boys?
BOTH: Yes sir.
MR CEKISO: Are you okay?

JAMES: We give our words father it will be safe there.
MR CEKISO: Okay but...
JAMES: But what father?
MR CEKISO: It’s not safe and you’re not going James.
JAMES: Oh father please…
MR CEKISO: Yeah son I hear you but it’s for your own safety.
JAMES: I was always being safe father; you can trust me on this one.
MR CEKISO: I trust you.
JAMES: Then allow me to go father please I beg you.

them luckily they heard her they heard the conversation and Mr Cekiso ended up allowing them to go
to the party”
MRS CEKISO: Come on love. don’t you think you are being hard on our son and last time I checked

MR CEKISO: Yes my love.
MRS CEKISO: I think you are being paranoid my love and exaggerating.

MRS CEKISO: James and Don will be safe and besides I’m sure there will be adults at that party to
watch during the night my love.
MR CEKISO: In all are you saying we should let James go to the party?
MRS CEKISO: He is a responsible young man and I dare if he will be irresponsible.
MR CEKISO: You are a mother and you know these things better than I do.
MRS CEKISO: Absolutely my love.
MR CEKISO: Okay then he will go to the party.
MRS CEKISO: Let him know you’re giving him the permission to go to the party.
MR CEKISO: I will tell him my love.

JAMES: (walking towards Don and smiling) Brother tonight we’re partying.
DON: Now you’re talking bro.

DON: Please don’t drink too much. You still have to drive us home in the morning (he laughed)
JAMES: Come on bro don’t you think that is too much. Anyway it’s Sunday tomorrow and besides
even if he drank too much it’s not a problem as long as by 09:00 when my parents woke up I will be
at home it’s fine by me.
UBER DRIVER: I give my words bro I will make sure that you’re at home by 09:00.
JAMES: Okay cool let me call the girls. (he left the car and went to the girls right next to the corner
shop)
SINOTHANDO: I wonder what is he going to say now (looking at James while he was coming to tell
them that they must go to the Blue Devil’s guest house)
FIKILE: Let’s hear from him my friend. (she looked pissed)
JAMES: Girls?
SINOTHANDO: What took you so long James?
JAMES: Sorry babe (he smiled). Anyway it is confirmed that the driver is our driver so I’m here to ask
you guys come with me to the car then we go to Blue Devils guest house.
FIKILE: Finally I was starting to get worried because there will be lots of people there and I don’t want
us to be the last people to arrive that’s all. (she looked worried and she was panicking as well)
JAMES: Chill my dear friend the driver will be faster trust me. (he smiled at Fikile)
SINOTHANDO: I think it’s time that we go now because we’re running out of time and I just can’t wait
to be at the party for the first time in my life. (she smiled winking at James)
JAMES: And then? (he wondered)
SINOTHANDO: Never mind babe (she smiled again) anyway let’s go now guys please I beg of you.
JAMES: Okay babe no need to beg (they went to car got in and the car was driven to the Blue Devils
guesthouse and Don was sitting in the front passenger sit)
UBER DRIVER: James my brother you are back?
JAMES: Yes I am.
UBER DRIVER: So who are the ladies you are back with bro?
SINOTHANDO: I am Sinothando (she smiled)
FIKILE: And I am Fikile.
UBER DRIVER: It’s a great pleasure to meet you ladies. Anyway I don’t remember telling you guys
my name by the way my name is Alvis.
DON: Ladies… (they listened and paid attention like rabbit to Don) Alvis is going with us at the party
and I gave him that extra ticket. In fact he is going to be our guardian angel all night long till morning
then take us home after the party.
SINOTHANDO: As long as we are going to safe with him then it’s fine by me.
UBER DRIVER: I took good care of my clients you don’t have to worry yourself Sino.
SINOTHANDO: Okay Alvis if you say so then I won’t worry no more.
UBER DRIVER: Your friend is so quiet. Is it how she is or she don’t like strangers huh?
FIKILE: You’re not a stranger Alvis. Just that I’m the quiet one.
DON: Since when? (James and Sino laughed) who are you trying to convince anyway?
UBER DRIVER: Maybe she’s trying to convince me guys anyway I’m convinced so as Don asked you
“since when?” what is your excuse for his question Fikile?
FIKILE: My excuse? Really? Come on Alvis trust me I have no excuse besides I don’t talk too much
when I’m nervous.
JAMES: Nervous about what exactly? (his eyes were popped while looking at Fikile)
FIKILE: Being at the party for the first time in my life. (she looked to James next to her at the back sit
in the car) So aren’t you nervous James?
JAMES: Yeah I am but so little because I’m excited at the same time and besides I don’t want bad
energy it might ruin my whole mood for the night. (he smiled and looked at the side road)
SINOTHANDO: Alvis now you know why my friend is so quiet. (she smiled while looking at Fikile)
UBER DRIVER: Of course now I know but what James said about bad energy is so real. I think your
friend must loosen up her mind and body because there is nothing to be nervous about even if you
guys it’s all your first time attending a party. Trust me my dear friend it will be more fun and Fikile stop
being tense please.
FIKILE: Okay Alvis I will try to be more comfortable and chilled.
DON: Please don’t try Fikile. Be comfortable and chilled just like us.
SINOTHANDO: (she tried to defend Fikile) But it’s not that easy Don because it takes courage and
confidence to be comfortable.
UBER DRIVER: So you are trying to tell me your friend is not confident enough to attend a party?
SINOTHANDO: I guess so.
JAMES: Is that true Fikile?
FIKILE: Yeah this usually happens when I’m doing things for the first time but I will be fine as the time
goes by.
SINOTHANDO: Ncoah my best friend come here (she hugged her trying to make her feel comfortable
and it worked) are you feeling safe now?
FIKILE: Yeah I’m feeling better (she smiled at Sino)
UBER DRIVER: Guys look… (he pointed at Blue Devils guesthouse) we’re going to that big White
House there.
DON: Oh wow we’re almost at Blue Devils guesthouse let’s hold on. (he looked so excited and
enthusiastic)
JAMES: It’s busy already.
DON: Of course anyway it’s not just any party in our neighbourhood. This is so dope and classy bro.
SINOTHANDO: Come on don’t act like you ever attend a party in your life besides we’re in the suburbs
here surely there must be classy Don
UBER DRIVER: Guys good luck by the way consider this the most interesting and beautiful night ever.
JAMES: Thank you for the luck bro.
DON: Anyway we really need a luck tonight guys you know things happen.
SINOTHANDO: James maybe you need a prayer (she laughed)
DON: He need prayer for what?
SINOTHANDO: It’s a joke Don so chill. (she laughed again)
JAMES: Your joke almost freaked me out I almost got lose it. (he smiled)

ACT 1 SENCE 10

“As they arrived at the Blue Devils guesthouse it was busy but not too much so they tried to find the
right spot where they will chill. Luckily Don saw Luke who is the player of the Blue Devils FC so they
made a little conversation and Luke took them to the VIP room where all the players are at.”
DON: This place is beautiful guys but let’s look for the right spot to chill.
JAMES: I think we chill at the balcony there it seems to be a nice place to chill. (he pointed upstairs)
DON: Yeah it’s kinda cool but guys do you agree?
UBER DRIVER: No problem with me.
SINOTHANDO: Not that a complain guys.
FIKILE: Fine by me.
DON: James wait… isn’t that Luke? (he pointed at Luke)
JAMES: (James paid attention and he responded) Yeah that’s what is he doing here?
DON: Don’t tell me you don’t know bro huh?
JAMES: (James seemed to be shocked and lost) Don’t know what bro?
DON: The guy plays for the Blue Devils and I can win us a place in the VIP room.
UBER DRIVER: Really? (Alvis the uber driver was surprised about what Don said to them)
DON: Yeah Alvis and I can convince him to get us few sits in the VIP room.
SINOTHANDO: Okay then Don so what are you waiting for?
JAMES: Wait babe… Don’t pressure him I trust him he will do as he say but on his terms. All we can
do is wait for him.
DON: James she wasn’t giving me pressure bro I guess she wanted me not to waste time because
this might be my only chance.
SINOTHANDO: Exactly what I thought Don.
FIKILE: Approach him now Don.
UBER DRIVER: I think Sino is right bro.
DON: Let’s wait for to come on this side then I will approach him.
SINOTHANDO: What if he never arrived on this side Don?
UBER DRIVER: I agree with Sino guys. Go and approach him now.
DON: Chill bro he’s coming on this way so I will ask him as you see.
“As they were chilling at the balcony Luke was about to pass them and go back inside the guest house
luckily Don approached him”
DON: What’s up bro?
LUKE: I’m good and you?
DON: I’m good too bro. Anyway I need your help.
LUKE: What’s up bro?
DON: We just got here bro and we’re looking for the right spot so I was wondering that you can help
us.
LUKE: No problem bro as long as you are not going to cause problems when you guys are drunk it’s
fine.
DON: I promise that we won’t.
LUKE: Bro who is this “we” (he asked)
DON: Just me James Fikile Sinothando and the Uber guy.
LUKE: There is an extra table at the VIP room where my teammates are partying at. I need to talk with
coach before I bring company there.
DON: Okay so tell me how would I know the coach has agreed?
LUKE: I will come and tell you bro don’t worry about that.
DON: Okay bro I guess you will find me here when your coach has said something about what I’m
asking you to do for us.
LUKE: Chill bro I will come with the good news only and besides I don’t think he’s going to have a
problem. Not unless you and your friend didn’t know how to behave.
DON: You know what they say bro “beggars can’t be choosers”
LUKE: It’s all up to you and your friends bro.
DON: Come on bro stop acting like you don’t know me and besides you are my friend too so help a
friend out I promise you won’t regret it.
LUKE: Okay wait for me here I will be back right now.
DON: Okay bro I will be waiting.
LUKE: It won’t take long just few minutes. (Luke left to convince the coach for Don and his friends to
fill the that extra in the VIP table in the room luckily Mr Ngalo who is the coach I agreed. So Luke went
back to Don at the balcony)
DON: So? (he asked Luke with the hope of hearing the good news only)
LUKE: He agreed but…
DON: But what? (he started popping out eyes and he looked worried)
LUKE: I’m kidding bro it’s nothing by the way I wish I had a mirror with me so we see yourself. (he
laughed)
DON: Come on bro stop playing like that. I almost fainted bro I swear. (he laughed too)
LUKE: I can Imagine bro. (he laughed again)
DON: Just imagine a tall person like me fainting. How many minutes you think will take me to fall?
(then he laughed)
LUKE: 20 minutes or more anyway you tell me. (he laughed)
DON: Anyway bro let me tell the guys that the coach has agreed.
LUKE: Okay bro see you at VIP room.
“Luke left and Don was going to his friends and the Uber driver whose name is Alvis. They were happy
with the news and immediately they went to chill at the VIP room”
JAMES: So what did he say bro? (he asked)
FIKILE: We deserve to know and you have to speak now.
SINOTHANDO: I agree.
DON: Okay I will tell you…
UBER DRIVER: When?
JAMES: Give him a chance bro.
DON: Okay bro the coach has agreed and what I think right now is that we go there immediately.
JAMES: Do you suggest like that bro? (he asked)
SINOTHANDO: I think it’s a great idea guys.
FIKILE: Me too I agree.
JAMES: Where is Luke bro?
DON: He just left but I remember he said he will see us at the VIP room.
SINOTHANDO: Probably he must be at the VIP room.
FIKILE: Are you telling me that we’ll walk in there on our own without Luke?
UBER DRIVER: I thought this guy called Luke will go with us because I think it’s disrespecting going
there on our own. And besides I don’t wanna be stared like uninvited guest when we got there on our
own.
DON: So you’re suggesting we go with Luke too?
UBER DRIVER: Yeah (suddenly Luke popped up like corns in the pot and he agreed to go with them)
DON: Thank god. Finally you’re here I was started to get worried bro.
LUKE: About what? I was crystal clear to you that you can go inside the VIP room with you friends.
DON: Can we go with you please? (Luke agreed and they all went inside the VIP room)
MR NGALO: Hey Luke who are you friends?
LUKE: Coach this is Don James Sinothando Fikile and their uber driver Alvis.
MR NGALO: So why are they here?
LUKE: Remember you agreed that it’s fine if they came. Maybe you must have been forgotten Coach.
MR NGALO: I’m an old man Luke my boy and to be honest I forgot.
LUKE: I don’t blame you Coach.
MR NGALO: Tell your friends to feel comfortable.
LUKE: I’m sure they are hearing you Coach very well.
DON: Thank you so much Coach for warm welcoming.
MR NGALO: Pleasure son. By the way do make yourselves at home and there is much to drink and
eat.
JAMES: Thanks again Coach.
MR NGALO: Pleasure is all mine son. Luke?
LUKE: Yes Coach?
MR NGALO: Why don’t you offer your friends a table so they feel more comfortable and welcomed.
Please don’t forget to give them drink and food. Come on son these are your friends and you need

JAMES: Come on bro we’ll be okay just go get drinks for us. Besides we’ll find a place to chill ourselves.
DON: Tell him bro.
LUKE: Okay I will get you drinks guys.
DON: Can’t you see my friend Fikile is thirsty right now (he laughed)
FIKILE: Come on Don don’t piss me off please. (she laughed too)
SINOTHANDO: Don’t make us come on you like January bro.
DON: I’m sorry…
SINOTHANDO: I was just joking my dear friend.
JAMES: I thought you would be back by now with the drinks Luke.
LUKE: Okay I will be back just now.
“So Luke left to get the drinks while the rest of the guys went to sit on the table which was extra at the
VIP room. Few minutes later he came back with our drinks served on a tray and they started to drink
and there was playing a song called can I have this dance by high school musical.”
Luke: Guys? I’m back with the drinks and if you feel like you need more please don’t hesitate to go to
the bartender and ask for more anyway I would like to stay with you guys but I have to be with the
teammates because it’s part of the rule that we’re following here.
DON: Of course so guys who want to party?
JAMES: Hell yeah bro I do. (he laughed)
FIKILE: Count me in guys.
DON: Come on joint me at the dancing floor Fikile and I see the party is so lit there.
FIKILE: Why not? (she stood up immediately)
JAMES: Babe can I have this dance please?
SINOTHANDO: Not now babe but you can dance if you feel like it.
JAMES: (he was kinda disappointed) Okay I don’t mind dancing.
SINOTHANDO: Just like that? (she asked)
FIKILE: What were you expecting friend?
JAMES: Good question.
SINOTHANDO: I was kidding friend anyway James I would like to dance with you.
JAMES: What will do if I said I’m no longer interested in that dance?
SINOTHANDO: I would say please…
JAMES: You really like things to be done your way right?
SINOTHANDO: Yeah I guess...
JAMES: Let’s go dance guys anyway.
UBER DRIVER: I will be here guys when you need me.
JAMES: Okay bro but why don’t you come to the dance floor with us?
UBER DRIVER: I guess I don’t like dancing bro.
SINOTHANDO: That’s weird bro... anyway guys let’s go on the dance floor.
DON: Come on Alvis let’s go dance and we’ll dance together.
UBER DRIVER: I told you guys I don’t like to dance.
SINOTHANDO: Come on bro who are you trying to convince here?
UBER DRIVER: Myself I guess…
FIKILE: Oh come on Alvis. Come dance with us.
UBER DRIVER: Sorry I don’t like dancing my friend.
FIKILE: Okay whatever suits you (they left to the dancing floor)
“When they get to the dance floor as James was dancing with his girlfriend and got a little thirsty so
he went back to the table they were sitting and got himself a stiff shot of vodka and take a beer with
him back to the dance floor but what pissed him off is that some guy called Makay was making a move
on his girlfriend.”
JAMES: Baby I think I’m thirsty again you know…
SINOTHANDO: Okay babe please when you’re coming back bring something for me to drink.
JAMES: Like?
SINOTHANDO: Something that is not strong I guess. (she smiled)
JAMES: Okay I will bring vodka but I will mix with orange juice you don’t mind.
SINOTHANDO: I said something that is not strong but you are busy suggesting vodka are you for
real?
JAMES: Yeah I am for really my love (he smiled) anyway but it won’t strong when mixed.
SINOTHANDO: I’m really used to vodka brandies and whiskeys.
JAMES: You are on another level now and we are going things differently here (he smiled) anyway
everything has a start and you know that.
SINOTHANDO: Yeah I do but...
JAMES: Okay I will bring your vodka babe.
SINOTHANDO: James no… (she was too late because James heard her as he was leaving guy called
Makay saw an opportunity to talk with Sinothando)
MAKAY: Hi gorgeous lady. (he smiled)
SINOTHANDO: I’m not a gorgeous lady (she looked pissed)
MAKAY: Sorry for my ridiculous action my name is Makay.
SINOTHANDO: Nice to know you Makay but I have company.
MAKAY: Come on pretty lady I see nobody here but me I guess you were referring yourself to me. (he
smiled)
SINOTHANDO: I’m sorry my dear friend I was talking about my boyfriend and he’s a psycho if he
found you here don’t ever say I didn’t tell you.
MAKAY: Tell me what?
SINOTHANDO: That... he will kick your arse bro because he doesn’t like guys who come near me.
(he laughed)
MAKAY: Come on you will tell him I’m just a friend from your class just in case he doesn’t suspect that
I’m making a move on you. (he smiled)
SINOTHANDO: You must be out of your mind and I think you need to leave me bro.
MAKAY: Leave where? What if I don’t want to leave?
SINOTHANDO: Then wait for my boyfriend and he will fix you when he’s coming back.
MAKAY: Are you for real?
SINOTHANDO: Do I look like I’m Chuck

MAKAY: Come on baby girl I didn’t say that.
SINOTHANDO: But I’m telling you bro and besides I have a boyfriend.
MAKAY: A boyfriend? Where is he now?
SINOTHANDO: (she started raising her voice while talking) I told you bro he’s coming! Are you deaf?
MAKAY: No need to raise a voice baby girl. Let’s be humble.
SINOTHANDO: Humble? Are you okay bro?
MAKAY: Yeah I’m fine baby girl. (he smiled)
SINOTHANDO: You can smile as much as you like but when my boyfriend is here trust me you will
feel like tsunami is hitting you so hard.
MAKAY: (he looked freaked) Tsunami? That is not sounding nice baby girl.
SINOTHANDO: Now you know. By the way I need you to leave now.
MAKAY: Not until I get what I want baby girl I think you need to chill.
SINOTHANDO: Chill? While you are busy talking this nonsense that you are saying?
MAKAY: Nonsense?
SINOTHANDO: I think you heard me well bro.
MAKAY: Don’t you think that’s harsh to say?
SINOTHANDO: I don’t care.
MAKAY: I wish to have your number you know…
SINOTHANDO: My number? For what?
MAKAY: Call you I guess and get to know you better.
SINOTHANDO: What about my boyfriend?
MAKAY: What about him actually?
SINOTHANDO: It’s obvious bro.
MAKAY: What…
SINOTHANDO: Unfortunately what you are asking me to do is not necessary my friend.
MAKAY: What do you mean?
SINOTHANDO: I can’t give you my number bro.
MAKAY: Come on… At least tell me your name baby girl.
SINOTHANDO: Telling you my name won’t change anything bro.
MAKAY: I know but… at least tell me your name so I will remember when I see you around.
SINOTHANDO: Sino…

SINOTHANDO: My name is Sinothando.
MAKAY: Nice to meet you Sinothando.
SINOTHANDO: Likewise bro.

SINOTHANDO: Whatever. Anyway look... (pointing at James) my boyfriend is coming. My boyfriend

MAKAY: I’m not scared of him.
SINOTHANDO: Suit yourself.
JAMES: Babe what’s going on here?
SINOTHANDO: This guy was just about to leave.
JAMES: Bro what are you doing with my girlfriend?
MAKAY: Talking… and she’s not your wife so I have right to talk with her as well.
JAMES: A right? Are you okay up there?
MAKAY: You must be the one who is crazy bro.
JAMES: Bro I don’t want any trouble please leave bro.
MAKAY: What if I don’t wish to go bro?
JAMES: I will force you to leave bro. simple as that.
MAKAY: Force me then… (he looked ready for a fight)
SINOTHANDO: Come on babe it’s not worth it anyway where is my drink?
JAMES: Oh sorry babe. Here you go. (he handed over her drink)
SINOTHANDO: Thank you so much babe.
JAMES: (he grabbed Makay by his neck and pushed him away) I said leave!
SINOTHANDO: Babe don’t use violence you will cause a scene.
JAMES: I don’t care he needs to know his place! (he looked furious)
MAKAY: (he looked furious also) Nobody does that to me bro!
JAMES: So what are you going to do about it?
MAKAY: Nothing bro (he cooled himself down)
JAMES: Learn to mind your business bro.
MAKAY: Whatever bro
JAMES: What? Do you have a problem bro? (he walked closed to him)
MAKAY: I guess I do. What are you going to do?
JAMES: I will kick your arse bro. (he was breathing like an angry dragon)
MAKAY: What are you waiting for? I’m not scared of you.
JAMES: (he punched him on his face) Come on fight back I will show you flames bro.
MAKAY: You stupid moron! (he didn’t waste his time he returned the favour to James and punched
him back)
JAMES: Bring it on. (they fought until Mr Ngalo and Don came to stop the fight)
DON: (he walked through in between them) Guys stop this nonsense don’t you see that you are ruining
the party?
MAKAY: He punched me first bro.
MR NGALO: I don’t care who started it or didn’t. And you Makay must act as an explain you are the
captain of the team now you are fighting. So why are you guys fighting?
JAMES: This moron was trying make a move on my girlfriend when I caught him he never denied it

front of my girlfriend.
MR NGALO: (he looked furious) Captain? For girl who is somebody’s girlfriend?
MAKAY: Com on I got a little overwhelmed and I’m so sorry.
MR NGALO: I’m not the one you must apologize to.
MAKAY: I’m so sorry bro.
JAMES: Okay bro I’m scared too.
DON: Bros what you did was wrong especially you bro. I think as a captain you must act by examples

JAMES: James Cekiso. (they started shaking hands)
MAKAY: (he looked surprised) Are you the son of Mr Cekiso the one who is in the Taxi business?
JAMES: Yeah bro.
MAKAY: Your father used to give me a free ride when he was a taxi driver before he owned his Taxis.
JAMES: Oh really bro?
MAKAY: Yeah I remember one time when it was raining at the same time I didn’t have a taxi fare I
waited for about two hours in the Taxi rank don’t know what to do. Luckily your father was watching
my every move so he called me and asked why am I on the rain? I said I don’t have a taxi fare and he
gave me a free ride.
JAMES: I didn’t know that he can be nice person.
MAKAY: (he laughed) Are you kidding me?
JAMES: I’m telling you.
MAKAY: Learn to know him and he is a good man.

ACT 2 SCENE 1

“James was left with the bartender by Makay the bartender was curious to know about the fight they
were having earlier and what was it about. Then James went back to the table he chilling at and Don
teased him about the fight he had with Makay Luckily Sino stood up for him.”
BARTENDER: Do you mind if I asked you something?
JAMES: Yeah sure go ahead.
BARTENDER: Please don’t get mad or something but...
JAMES: Get to the point bro.
BARTENDER: Okay. Why were you fighting with that guy?
JAMES: Come on bro. do you really want to know about it?
BARTENDER: Yeah I do.
JAMES: (he laughed) It’s very funny but I don’t feel guilty for punching that moron.
BARTENDER: Funny? How?
JAMES: That fight wasn’t necessary but the problem is that he was disrespecting me in front of my
girlfriend bro.
BARTENDER: (he laughed coming close behind the counter) So what did he do exactly?
JAMES: (he laughed) You won’t believe that he was trying a move on my girl and when I caught him
doing that he kept he’s not scared of and he can talk whenever he wants with my girl. I don’t wanna
lie I lost it and I punched him then the fight started.
BARTENDER: What was he thinking bro for doing that?
JAMES: I have no idea bro about what he was thinking but I don’t blame him.
BARTENDER: Tell me more…
JAMES: I mean bro we all have that confidence which leads to be beaten up.
BARTENDER: (he laughed) I get you bro and sometime it comes when we see that the crowd will
favour us or maybe there is a girl that we trying to win over.
JAMES: I guess he was trying to win over my girlfriend bro (he laughed)
BARTENDER: What a loser (he laughed)
JAMES: I don’t blame him bro and I was in his situation he would have done the same thing.
BARTENDER: Even thou you know bro that it is not a good idea.
JAMES: Remember we don’t think the same.
BARTENDER: But even a blind man would see that it’s not a good idea.
JAMES: Anyway I really don’t guarantee I’m saying bro but it’s clear that he was playing with fire. I
guess he was playing lotto. (he laughed)
BARTENDER: Thath’amachance thath’amamillions. (he laughed)
JAMES: Exactly bro (he laughed) oh god my drink is finished please some more bro. (he passed over
the glass to the bartender)
BARTENDER: Okay let me pour something bro.
JAMES: Give me the same drink please.
BARTENDER: Of course bro.
JAMES: It was mix well the other one please make it the same.
BARTENDER: I got you bro please relax.
JAMES: Okay bro I am relaxed.
BARTENDER: So what do your girl about all of this?
JAMES: I remember she was trying to stop us but I already released the punch.
BARTENDER: She must be freaking out and worried about you bro.
JAMES: Yeah I guess she is worried.
BARTENDER: (he handed over James’s drink) Your drink bro…
JAMES: Thank you bro.
BARTENDER: Pleasure.
JAMES: So what is your name bro?
BARTENDER: I prefer to be called T-Bone bro.
JAMES: Was nice meeting you T-Bone.
BARTENDER: Did your girlfriend ever saw you fighting before?
JAMES: (he shaked head) I guess I don’t think so bro.
BARTENDER: It may turn out that she didn’t like even thou you were trying take the matter on your
hands and besides sometimes they like it when you are fighting for them.
JAMES: What do you suggest that I do?
BARTENDER: Talk to her and find out how she felt about the fight with that.
JAMES: His name is Makay.
BARTENDER: Whatever bro. I think my suggestion will work and all you need to do is to make her
understand why you did it.
JAMES: Just like that bro?
BARTENDER: It’s not as easy as you may think bro I must warn you. Anyway you never told me your
name bro.
JAMES: James Cekiso.
BARTENDER: Your surname sounds familiar bro.
JAMES: I know bro.
BARTENDER: Yeah I remember now I used to see the name on one of the taxis in the taxi ranks if
I’m mistaken.
JAMES: You’re not mistaken bro. My father owns those taxis you used to see on the taxi rank he
owns. I guess I have legacy to hold in the next coming years but what bothers me I never gave myself
time to learn about the taxi business.
BARTENDER: My friend you need to learn the business bro at least know a thing or two.
JAMES: I give myself some time but for now I’m busy with school. Besides the taxi business is so
dangerous I need to have a backbone before involving myself in it.
BARTENDER: Of course you need to know people who know people in that business. Just in case
you feel going for it.
JAMES: (he laughed) Just in case I feel like it?
BARTENDER: Yeah bro.
JAMES: Maybe if I want to settle down I guess.
BARTENDER: Brave move bro but does not say don’t learn the business just because you will look
on it when you want to settle down.
JAMES: Yeah at least I know a thing or two about the business since my father always insists me to
learn by force (he laughed) I hope you know what I’m saying bro. (and he finished his last sip inside
the glass)
BARTENDER: Yeah bro I know and that’s how our parents operate.
JAMES: So pushy fussy & harsh. Especially when it is something to have by force.
BARTENDER: That is my daily bread bro I can relate. (he laughed)
JAMES: Sometimes I wish to bury myself.
BARTENDER: Should I pour you another drink huh?
JAMES: (he laughed) You want me to kill myself can’t you see that I had enough.
BARTENDER: You seem fine to me come on have another drink I insist.
JAMES: I see what are you trying to do bro.
BARTENDER: (he smiled) What are you talking about?
JAMES: You want to get me drunk so I will pass out in this party anyway I have seen enough because
niggas here hit on other nigga’s girl here so I can’t pass out now and not here in this place (he laughed)
BARTENDER: You gotta be extra careful in events like these because anything can happen you just
know when.
JAMES: I learnt my lesson anyway I gotta go back to my friends. (he left the bartender at mini bar)
DON: (looking at James coming from the minibar) Mohamed Ali

JAMES: Whatever bro and besides I was fighting to win not to lose.
DON: Anyway you had to show that boy in the main man bro (he laughed)
JAMES: Get off me bro why is it becoming an issue? (he smiled)
DON: (he smiled) The issue is that you fight a chicken all you need is that sound roosters do they
fighting each other for a hen. (then he laughed)
JAMES: (he smiled while taking a sit) Don’t let me come on like January because I am not scared
kicking your arse bro.
DON: (he laughed) Be my guest… anyway bro there is no need to be violent about some issues. And
besides I’m not a fighter but a lover. (he smiled)
JAMES: (he laughed) Then why are you throwing sticks and stones on me bro?
DON: Because I like it bro and I can’t do nothing about it bro. (he smiled)
SINOTHANDO: Leave my boyfriend alone Don please go find somebody else to play with. Don’t you
see that he doesn’t like this nonsense you are saying. (she smiled)
DON: Don’t push to come at you like January baby girl because you don’t scare me too. (he smiled)
SINOTHANDO: Next time we’re coming at the party we’ll leave you behind bro. (she smiled)
DON: I wonder why am I going to be left behind?
SINOTHANDO: I didn’t know when you’re drunk that you are as silly as monkey. (she laughed)
DON: Oh god… (he smiled) come to earth so you will hear what Sino has just said to me. (then he
laughed)
JAMES: Now you feel the taste of your medicine bro. (he laughed)
DON: (he smiled) Say who? The guy who fights his battle with his girlfriend?
SINOTHANDO: I give up Don. (he laughed)
DON: I don’t blame you baby girl. (he smiled) Anyway this wasn’t your fight I was talking with your
chicken arse boyfriend (he laughed)
JAMES: Okay... (he deep breath) Don I get the joke now (he smiled) but bro I think it’s time we come
back to the party because we’re not here to talk about how I fight or how my girlfriend is trying to
defend me from your nonsense. (he laughed)
DON: Okay I will stop but...
JAMES: (he laughed) Here you go again Don what is it now?
DON: I need a drink then I will stop and I want you to be the one who will get it for me bro. (he smiled)
JAMES: You must be out of your mind bro because I won’t do what you are asking me to do for you
besides I don’t really care if you stopped or not I guess it’s all up to you bro.
DON: Okay I will get myself the drink. (his face froze with disappointment)
JAMES: (he laughed) Don are you okay bro?
DON: Yeah bro I am okay why are you asking?
JAMES: You seem disappointment that your plan didn’t work on me. (he smiled)
DON: What plan?
JAMES: Me going to get drinks for you not unless I don’t want you to stop teasing me bro. (he smiled)
DON: No chill… that’s already in the past bro. (he smiled)
JAMES: So what are you saying we go and get more drinks at the bar?
DON: No problem bro.
JAMES: Guys anyone else who want more drinks?
SINOTHANDO: Please get us all the drinks and this time James get me something that is not strong

SINOTHANDO: (she smiled) James I need to accompany me to be toilet there is something I want us
to take about along the way.
DON: Oh wow I never expected that but anyway let’s go guys even you Alvis. (they left)

ACT 2 SCENE 2

“Sinothando and Fikile were left at the table and Fikile was curious about why Sinothando wanted to
be accompanied by James to the toilet and she finally told her after a long chat. James and the other
guys came with the drinks and they all drank. When James wanted to attend Sinothando’s request it
was already late and was time for the uber guy Alvis to take them home so he lost the good time with
guy Sino at the toilet”
FIKILE: (she went closer to Sino smiling) So friend what was that all about?
SINOTHANDO: What are you taking about Fikile?
FIKILE: Come on friend stop acting lost or something.
SINOTHANDO: No I’m not acting friend (she smiled deviously)
FIKILE: You see what I’m talking about?
SINOTHANDO: What is it friend?
FIKILE: That smile tells me something. (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: What smile? You are confusing me now.
FIKILE: You are the one who is confusing yourself Sino because you are not telling me the truth and
from where I’m standing I kinda have my theory about what you said to James.
SINOTHANDO: What did I say to James friend? (she did the smile again)
FIKILE: Here you go friend you still giving me that smile again. (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: Am I not allowed to smile now?
FIKILE: I didn’t say that.
SINOTHANDO: Then what are you saying?
FIKILE: I’m curious friend.
SINOTHANDO: About what?
FIKILE: Come on friend stop messing with my mind. (she looked pissed)
SINOTHANDO: Okay friend but…
FIKILE: But what?
SINOTHANDO: I don’t think that James will like it if I told you while even himself he was wondering
what I was talking about. Of course you saw him luckily you witnessed it yourself my friend. (she
smiled)
FIKILE: I know friend but I can keep a secret my friend and besides you can trust me anyway.
SINOTHANDO: I know friend you keep a secret but this is between me and him. (she smiled and
blushed)
FIKILE: (she smiled) I understand my dear friend but I wanna know what is it still.
SINOTHANDO: (she smiled) You such a nosy female dog my friend.
FIKILE: That’s an insult my friend I’m sure you know that too.
SINOTHANDO: I’m sorry babe (she smiled)
FIKILE: I forgive you my friend but I still want to know.
SINOTHANDO: Okay friend I just miss getting laid and that’s all (she smiled)
FIKILE: I don’t blame you my friend besides it’s been a while and you need to be cleaned the spider
webs (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: (she smiled) And James is taking long to ask me to come over at his home.
FIKILE: Give him a chance friend he will eventually ask you so chill a bit and surely he must be thinking
about it some days.
SINOTHANDO: Some days? Friend are for really? I think about the thing every day since the last 3
weeks back until now I’m still thinking about it.
FIKILE: That is much long my friend anyway what are thinking to do now?
SINOTHANDO: What do you mean?
FIKILE: What are you planning to do since you think that he’s waiting for long?
SINOTHANDO: To surprise him by coming at his home and I just hope that he must be alone so we
can take as much time we want alone.
FIKILE: What if Mr Cekiso found you inside his house and what will you do?
SINOTHANDO: I will cross that bridge later when it’s time for me to cross it and I don’t think he might
have a problem seeing his son’s girlfriend besides I’m his future daughter in law.
FIKILE: Daughter in law? (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: Yes

friend. (she blushed)

FIKILE: Friend I really like the fact that you’re so enthusiastic about you and James in fact I’m so proud
of you guys.
SINOTHANDO: Thank you so much friend I really appreciate that a lot. (she smiled)
FIKILE: So let me get this straight up friend you wanted James to come with the toilet so you seduce
him to have sex with you because he’s taking much to ask you over?
SINOTHANDO: (she smiled) Come on I told you it’s been a while since a guy touches me and I don’t
even remember when was the last time I got that mood.
FIKILE: I understand that it’s been a while you had some but is it necessary to have it in the toilets
that having it somewhere comfortable and peaceful.
SINOTHANDO: I guess I couldn’t hold my feeling at that time anyway what you’re saying is a good
point and I didn’t see it that and it is going to be our first time so let me not spoil it now.
FIKILE: You’re spoiling nothing my friend anyway it was a suggestion from me and I believe that you
are the only that make the final decision about it. (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: I know my friend but then I realise that I was being childish about the matter by the
way I want to do it in good way my friend (she smiled)
FIKILE: Okay friend that sounds better you know.
SINOTHANDO: Yeah it feels great and besides when we are doing sober I guess there will be some
time to think about the protection you know.
FIKILE: Yeah friend I agree with you. So do you have any idea why they are taking much longer to
take the drink and comeback?
SINOTHANDO: I guess they are not the only ones who drinks so I think they will delay a bit longer or
else they met somebody they know going to get the drinks perhaps.
FIKILE: Yeah probably I guess. Anyway let’s wait a bit.
SINOTHANDO: You know friend I hate waiting nonsense and I’m slowly getting pissed off.
FIKILE: Come on you won’t be dead if you waited a moment my friend.
SINOTHANDO: But do you know that waiting is just a waste of time.
FIKILE: Yeah I know but what if this is worth it my dear friend?
SINOTHANDO: Then I’m willing to take that risk my friend.
FIKILE: Let’s wait then. (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: I guess I have no choice my friend.
FIKILE: Anyway do you enjoying yourself in this party?
SINOTHANDO: I love it my friend. (she smiled)
FIKILE: Really? (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: Hell yeah bro. (she smiled) Don’t you believe me my dear friend?
FIKILE: Yeah I do it’s just that I can see through you that you are enjoying yourself.
SINOTHANDO: How?
FIKIILE: You seemed to be relaxed my friend that’s all.
SINOTHANDO: I am always relaxed friend you know that and besides my friend I thought you were
going to tell me something I don’t know not something I already know. (she smiled)
FIKILE: Come on Sino stop being dramatic and besides you never been this relaxed in your life before.
Tell me if I’m telling lies now.
SINOTHANDO: (she smiled) I didn’t say that my friend.
FIKILE: Then what?
SINOTHANDO: Whatever friend. (she smiled)
FIKILE: Whatever?
SINOTHANDO: Yeah friend (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: They’re taking so long now. (she looked at Fikile)
FIKILE: Chill babe they are coming. (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: We’re been waiting for them since an hour ago and I’m thinking of going look for them.
FIKILE: Come on friend that won’t be necessary and you know it.
SINOTHANDO: So what are you expecting me to do?
FIKILE: To wait anyway they are guys and they don’t own us nothing so if they met their friends’ friend.
SINOTHANDO: I don’t care friend besides what do they thinking about us.
FIKILE: Chill look there (she pointed at James Don & Alvis) see they are coming and please have
patience next time.
SINOTHANDO: Whatever friend. (she smiled)
FIKILE: I’m serious Sinothando.
SINOTHANDO: Me too I’m serious friend. (she smiled)
FIKILE: If you were not my friend I would have already slapped you.
SINOTHANDO: For what? (she smiled)
FIKILE: For being impatient you damn freaky cow. (she smiled)
SINOHANDO: That’s harsh please take back those words.
FIKILE: That’s not possible and besides you said I’m the female dog. (she smiled)
SINOTHANDO: I’m mad at you friend. (she was little upset)
JAMES: Guys we’re back Fikile why Sino is upset?
FIKILE: Don’t worry about her it has nothing to do with you bro.
DON: I didn’t know that Sino can be upset. (he smiled)
SINOTHANDO: Get off me Don please.
