Mama: “Uphuma igazi phi? Livumba lantoni na eli linukayo? Unuka utywala Celiwe? Unxilile? Yho! Butywala obunjani obu? Khona kutheni bukwi drink ye-COKE? Yinton le Celiwe? Inuka isipirithi phuqu!

Waamane enukisa labhotile inomxube omdaka. Kuthe kanti uyenze nyhani uCeliwe lanto ebefunge ukuyenza. Ngoku uxakene nento. Ebhedini yakhe kubomvu nje ligazi, lalide liphumele nasematrasini. Kukho amahlwili, ingathi sisibindi somvundla. Kukho izigaqana ezininzi ezibomvu rhwee.
Waantantazela ke umama wakhe ecela amancedo, efowuna, ekhwaza, elila, ethukisa. Suke nje wenza ingxolo nje.
Sime apho.
