Dan:if you talking about Mandla, my mom beat you to it…
Me:(shocked) what?
Dan:yeah and a whole lot more…
Me:what are you talking about? How did she found out?
Dan:she hired a private investigator… But that doesn’t matter,what matters is, why are you telling me now?
Me:(angry) actually it does matter, who the hell does your mom thinks she is, i know she hates me but i never thought she’ll go to an extent of hiring an investigator,to dig up my past, oh my gosh i can’t believe this…. Dan:you came here to talk…
Me:(laughed in disbelief with tears in my eyes) ohh wow, let me guess now you angry because I had a life before i met you…?

Me:(wiping my tears) he wants me to sleep with him or else, he tells you what happened between me and him,i couldn’t do it..
Dan:im surprised you turned him down because when it comes to sex, you can’t hold yourself..
Me:oh my goodness Daniel…
Dan:what? It’s the truth and you know it, look how many men you slept with… Me:i can’t believe you judging me with something that happened a long time ago, it’s not like I cheated on you, i can’t believe the man i love just insulted me in the most painful way…
Dan:(rubbed his eyes) Nokthula i love you a lot but our relationship is not healthy,it has lot of flaws, we keep fighting and always you the one at fault..
I was fuming that moment, my anger was on level ten, i wanted to grab him by his neck then strangle the life out of him..i was shaking…. Me:so what now?we over?
Dan:i didn’t say that, the only thing I need now is space..
Me:space to do what Daniel?
Dan:i need to think about this whole mess..
Me:this whole mess is my past and the is nothing to think about….tell me how is
“thinking “about it gonna do exactly? Change the past?
Dan:(speechless)…

Lelo:(teary) thank you my sister, i don’t know what I would’ve done without you, you the only thing that makes sense in my life right now…i can’t believe you helping me after everything I’ve done to this family…
Me:forget about that.. You my sister and I love you although sometimes you get
into my nerves but you still my little sister, that will never change and I will not
