She's my wife!
You're my fun on the side.

- Or were you not having fun?
- Of course I was, but...

Then what's with your little tantrum?

It's not such a big deal these days!

- Can't you see that he's using you?
- Please! He spoils me rotten.

I'm not taking you with me.

I'm taking Nolwazi.

I am so sorry.
It's just...

- When can you draw up the divorce papers?
- Let's not rush things.

- It's been too long.
- Have you spoken to Dad about this?

- I know you care about her, but...
- Enough.

Your mother isn't thinking straight.

Are you talking about Nandi?

- It's strange in the beginning, but...
- Strange? It's a flipping freak show!

- Getty!
- It's true!

Did you speak to Jack about his wife?

You're wasting your time if you're …show more content…

dealing with life...

It scares me.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to face it.

- Don't underestimate yourself.
- You deserve to be happy.

You deserve to start a new life with someone else...

but you can't do that if you keep clinging to the past.

Please give me a divorce.

I could do with good news right now.

What's wrong?

Just tell me you're pregnant.

Some people have a one-night stand and wake up pregnant.

How long before you can try again?

We need to give the Morokas an heir.

Three to four weeks.

My girl...

- I'm proud of you for doing this for the family.
- Did I interrupt anything?

No.

Actually, I should go.
I'm late for a meeting.

- Enjoy your day, Daughter.
- You too.

See you later.

Are you okay?

Your father can be very demanding,
I know.

But if you need to talk...

Thank you.

It can't be easy - not having a mother around.

Us girls, we need a support system.

And you won't find it in the Moroka house.

Why did your father force you into that marriage?

No one forced me. Everything was discussed and agreed to by everyone involved.

We met, courted and agreed that we were ready to get married.

My dad wouldn't make me do anything

Please, Patty!

I need you in my life!

- Then you shouldn't have kicked me out.
- I'm sorry!

Sometimes I do these crazy things.

Maybe if I grew up with a mother...

I wouldn't be so impulsive.

- Please don't give up on me.
- Xolelwa!

I know I'm asking a lot.

But you're all I have.

Please, let's forget the past...

and start over.

I'm too old...

These games of yours...

But...

because I like you...

I'll think about it.

Evening.

Welcome home.

- I've been thinking about us.
- So have I. Maybe we moved too fast.

I was in a bad space. You offered me a way out. We didn't give our relationship time...

- You don't understand.
- I do. I pushed too hard.

- I'd also feel slightly suffocated if I were you.
- Let me finish.

I'm in the process of divorcing my wife.

You're what?

And I don't expect any delays.

But I...

I thought...

Why now after all these years?

It's time I moved on and stopped living in the past.

- What about your children?
- They're adults, they'll understand.

What matters now is my future.

I'll be glad...

if you could be part of that future.

I want us to build a new life together.

Are you ready...

to build a future with me?

Oh, Jack!

- Bongani always goes all out on his
