We all go down on the ground but notice that Skhumbuzo is still standing. I look at his hands and see a gun. This idiot!
Thando: Skhumbuzo, you are mental ne?
Skhu: hau ngyadlala, relax guys. (I'm joking)
Ntokozo: you're not funny.
Skhu: hau?
Mpumi: you're ill-disciplined wena.
Skhumbuzo laughs and everyone eventually joins in. We take pictures and make videos. After that, everyone heads back to the house and changes. We then go to the living room where we eat the food made by the catering company. After eating, the pastor leaves and it's just us. I wear Aviwe's hoodie over my sweater and we head to the fireplace outside where we just sit chatting.
Skhu: when are you having twins as well?
Ntokozo: teenage pregnancy.
Emi: niyaphapha nina. (You guys are too forward)
Ntokozo: hau?
Ntsi: these two are hiding something from us.
Ntokozo: who?
Uya: you!
Ntokozo: how though?
Uya: you're always sitting next to each other, being cosy and all.
Aviwe: we saw them walking to...
I squeeze his thigh to make him stop.
Aviwe: ouch! what?
Uya: hai why are you stopping him?
Aviwe: yeah why are you stopping me?
Ntsi: where did you see them?
Aviwe: I saw them both walking to Ntokozo's room.
Emi: you lie!
Aviwe: I'm telling you.
Mpumi: hau and you don't tell us, your brothers?
Ntsi: hau?
Aviwe: hauu?
Uya: Ntokozo?
Ntokozo: mzala, he's a snack hau.
She says taking a sip of her wine.
Tyler: we need more.
Tyler says pulling Ntokozo and calling us to follow him. We go to the living room and switch on a heater and the air conditioning and we grab some throwovers. Tyler sits next to Ntokozo and looks at her.
Tyler: spill, sisi.
Ntokozo: well, he started trying to shoot his shot at the lobola negotiations and has been trying ever since so a couple of days ago, I decided that maybe we should start talking.
Tyler: talking?
Ntokozo: in a manner of pursuing a relationship.
Emi: iyoh.
Uya: it's a lot.
Thando: doesn't he have a girlfriend.
Ntokozo: no.
Thando: if you say so.
Tyler: guys, I feel like the odd one out.
Emi: why, babe?
Tyler: you three are married, Nto has a boyfriend now. I am the only who is single here.
We laugh at him.
Emi: friend, you'll find your one.
As we're talking, Tyrone calls on Tyler's phone. Emi picks it up.
Emi: Tyler's phone, hello?
Tyrone: hey, I'd like to speak to Tyler please?
Emi: Tyler is busy.
Tyrone: can you at least tell him that I called?
Emi: no.
Tyrone: no?
Emi: don't call this number again, bye.
She ends the call and looks at Tyler.
Emi: he should learn to stay out of your life.
We laugh.
Ntokozo: do you mind coming to live with me in Joburg, for a little while?
Tyler: I'd be more than happy to.
Ntokozo gets up and does a celebratory dance and we laugh at her because she's so stiff.
