My biological father wants answers and no one is ready to talk about it.His wrath can even be felt by the passbye.
Him:I demand answers Nomasonto,what is going on here.
Gugu:Calm down dad.

Busi:Well,Sbali.It all started when Gugu came to me few weeks back.
[She looked at Gugu]
Gugu:Baba,Ndabezitha.Few years back i had a feeling that Nosipho was alive.I wasnt sure about it until i met UGogo on the road,i gave her a lift.she told me that i should go look for Nosipho then she disappeared. I Know it doesnt make sense but trust me it happened.
Him:What?Who was the Gogo,do i know her.
[Gugu looks at me]
Her:Umama kaMkhulu.

Her:Then i told MaBusi about it,we then made a decision to hire a private investigator.
[He looks at Aunt Busi]
Him:So you saw the need to tell your aunt not Me or your mother?
Her:Baba,i wasnt sure.I wanted to come to you with enough information.
Him:Gugu,sinelungelo lokwazi ukuthi kuqhubekani bukhoma endodakazini yethu(We have the right to know whats going on in our Daughter's life)
[He bangs the table and everyone got scared]
Queen:Calm down Ndabezitha.
[He looks at her then back at Gugu]
Him:Carry on.
Gugu:The PI found her,with her details and all.
Him:What happened to her?
Gugu:She was stolen by a nurse and she sold her.
Him:What!!!
Gugu:The same weekend,i found out that Lwethu was friends with Hope's friend Ndalo.We then decided that we wait before we tell you guys.
Him:Wait?wait for what Gugu.
Gugu:Alot was going on in her life already.
Him:So wena Sonto how did you know.
Queen:She then got kidnapped so we got here and i discovered that Nosipho was still alive.

Queen:No but his wife.
[He stands up]
Him:I am going to promise one thing.I am going to deal with all of the people involved with This One by one.
[He left us and the queen followed him]

Its been days since i discovered the truth and it still feels like im dreaming. How could that be true?My father?the very same man i respected  and love.The one who taught me how to ride a horse?how to look after the livestock,how to garden .My role model was a rapist?.Ive been drunk for 2 days straight,trying to make sense of my situation and still nothing make sense to me.Mostly i am mad at my estranged mother who just decides to show up now in my life and ruin it.She could have stayed where she was,and let me stay with the little knowledge i have about my parents.My wife has been calling me for days and ive been ignoring her,honestly i understand that she is worried but i did send a text that i am fine and she shouldn't worry but you know wives.I decided to drive to my estranged mother's place for some answers,its around 10 am and i already had 2 bottled of beer.After few hours i arrived at the palace.It looked so stunning,there were alot of gaurds and employees who were just going up and down around the yard.As i stepped outside the car one of the gaurds came to me
Him:Dumela Monghadi e be nka o thusa?
Me:Dumela,I'm looking for Mme Tshoaro Mokoena is she still around?
Him:Oh,Kgosatsana Tshoaro o ile mabenkeleng le Kgosana Tsatsi,o na le appointment?
Me:Not really.
Him:E tlo ba that if a sa tsebe watla,unless o ka mo emela.
Me:I have no problem in that.
Him:Ohkay you may follow me.
[I followed him to the lounge that was separate from the main house.it was actually outside near the pool and it looked like it is a waiting area.]

Me:E re fela o batla ditaba and stop hiding behind your parents.
Him:Tswa ka tsona.
I told him about Hope since I've never told him about hee and i just told her she was abducted so i was on a rescue mission to save her.
Him:Oh so you disappeared because of an underwear.
Me:Mxm you wont understand,you are still a child.
[We laughed and my phone rang,unknown numbers]
Me:Mokoena's phone  hello?
Female voice:Hello Bokang its  Queen Noma speaking,how are you?
Me:oh my queen,i am good and yourself?

My husband is complaining about Bokang being secretive.
Me:But baby,when he is ready to tell you he will.
Him:But baby you dont understand,he will die because of his secrets.
Me:and i rebuke that.
[We arrive at the palace and there's a strange car]
Him:Looks like we've got company.
Me:Are you expecting anyone?
Him:No you?
Me:Nix.
Him:I wonder who's it
[The car parked and we got out.The royal gaurd approached us]
The Guard:Good after noon my price,my princess.My princess you have a visitor.
[I frowned out of shock]
Me:A visitor?
Him:Yes,He is waiting at the waiting lounge.
[I gave Tsatsi a questioning eye and he shrugged his shoulders]
Me:A He?
Tsatsi:Lets go check him out.
[We moved in the direction of the visitor's lounge]
I got a suprised of my life.It was Pheko.
[He stood up to greet us]
Him:Good afternoon,hour highnessess.
Me:What are yiu doing here?
Tsatsi:Hey,i didnt think you would come here so soon.You believe us now?
[He nodds]
Him:I just knew the right places to search.
[He looked down sadly]
Me:Don't worry,all will be right.[i koved closer but he moved away from me]
Him:Why now?[he had tears in his eyes,he looked very angry and sad]
Him:I asked why now dammit!
Tsatsi:Careful now!
Him:Or else what old man?
Me:Pheko please sit down.Tsatsi calm down please my love.
[They both calm down.Tsatsi sits on the sofa next me and pheko sits on the other one.]
Him:So i did my own investigation and  its true.You are my birth mother.
[I looked down and tears failed me]
Him:So That man was a monster?
[I didnt respond]
Him:I can't believe i've called a  monster my father my entire life.
[He wept.i move close to him to comfort him?]
Me:Im sorry,im sorry i waited this long  to come to you. I want you to know that it doesnt mean i dont love you.I love you so much,it pained me everyday knowing that i have abandoned my son. I want you to find it in your heart to forgive you.I am not going to blame  him for everything. I should have tried harder to get you.
[I also cried]
[There was silence in the room until he broke it]
Him:Im sorry that happened to you.You didnt deserve it.He had no right to do that to you. I am mad myself for believing that man was a good man.
Me:Its not your fault,its not everyone's fault  but his.But um glad we are together again Mosa.
[He gave me a smile then we both stood up for a hug]
