THEMBA: Sayitsheni, kodwa uyayibona le thekeni enguZama ukuthi iwugesi?

SIPHO: Ngiyayibona, ukuthi iyanginyanyisa ngoba ithanda ukuzifonela.

THEMBA: Angazi ukuthi ngingenwe yini mfowethu. UZama ngimthanda ehamba, ehleka ngisho noma ethukuthele imbala. Uyaye umbone uma ethukuthele emva kokuba bemgconile ekilasini? Uvele abe muhle kakhulu kunakuqala. Ngiyakutshela, ayikho intombazane enhle njengaye lapha esikoleni.

THEMBA: Qhubeka nje wena nokungithatha kancane. UZama yena uzongiqoma, ethanda engathandi.

(Aqhamuke uMzwakhe ezihambela kancane, kubonakala ukuthi udla amathambo engqondo.) SIPHO: Eyi, kunjani Mzwakhe? Wahamba sengathi kukhona okukudlayo nje. Ukhumbule ukuthi okwehlula amadoda kuyabikwa.
