In the morning Mrs Nkosi Visited her friend to discuss, what was going to be done with Lerato's baby. They all sat in the kitchen.
Mrs Nkosi : I have made 2 options for Lerato to chose from.
Ma Rato: I'm listening.
Mrs Nkosi: if she haves an abortion me and my husband will continue to fund her studies and I will personally give her R250 000 in cash to do whatever she wants with it but if she keeps the baby we will stop funding her and if she dares takes me and my husband to court I will take everything she own.
Ma Rato: I won't speak for her she is the one that has to decide for her future but the first option is the best.
Mrs Nkosi: what do you chose Lerato?
Lerato: I won't abort my baby.
Mrs Nkosi: (shocked) what?
Ma Rato: (tearful) take the money, there's a lot of things we can do with it here home and you will finish your studies and start afresh get married and have children that you planned.
Lerato: (crying) I know I have disappointed you mom and I am truly sorry but I don't think I'm brave enough to kill a baby.
Ma Rato: (crying) if you do this I will forgive you. We can move on as a family. What will the community say when they hear this?.
Lerato: it will all pass mom.
Mrs Nkosi: lerato this will destroy my children Jane is your friend for Gods's sake. How will she take this?
Lerato: I'm also ashamed of my actions but I cant.
Mrs Nkosi: (tearful) God what is this girl doing to me?
Mrs Nkosi stood up and strangled Lerato causing her to fall down from the chair. Lerato's mom pulled her off from her daughter.
Ma Rato: (shouting) enough Mariah, she is still my child. I gave you to deal with her and you did now don't ever touch her.
Mrs Nkosi: (angry) then tell her to do the right thing.
Ma Rato: I think its best you go home to your children and check on your husband I will deal with her.
Mrs Nkosi: (calmed down) okay Julia I will go.
Mrs Nkosi left.
Ma Rato: (crying) God please help me.
Lerato: I'm sorry mom.
Lerato's mother kept crying until she couldn't breath. She only placed her hand at her heart Lerato knew her mother was having a heart attack. When she ran outside to get help. She saw his brother and they quickly rushed her to the hospital.
Menzi was at the hospital to see his brother.
Menzi: how are you feeling?
Mr Nkosi: I'm good I'm lucky it didn't go too deep.
Menzi: did you check on Lerato?
Mr Nkosi: I don't care about that slt I heard her mother and my wife taught her a lesson yesterday.
Menzi: she is young she needs support.
Mr Nkosi: she should have closed her legs when I approached her.
Menzi: you are a married man what were you doing between her legs anyway?
Mr Nkosi: I'm a man and men get tempted most of the times.
Menzi: that is not excuse.
Mr Nkosi: anyway I have closed all her credit cards. I'm no longer paying for her apartment and studies.
Menzi: where will she go?
Mr Nkosi : I don't know and I don't care. She has to abort it to have it all back.
Menzi: you still wanna make her the other woman.
Mr Nkosi: yes her p***y is something I won't stop fu***ng right now. Its young and tight and...
Menzi: I don't want to hear it, I think it would be best if I leave. I want to see the kids before I go.
Mr Nkosi: okay travel safely.
Menzi: you recover quickly.
On the women's ward Lerato was talking on the phone with her landlord.
Lerato: please don't throw out my stuff.
Landlord: its been two months and I have given you 1 week notice. By law you I have the right to throw you out. Come get your stuff at the gate before night fall. (hanged up)
Lerato: please.... Hellow?
Lerato went back inside to check her mother, she was awake and the moment she walked in her brother gave her a look of disgust.
Thabang: (angry and slapped her) how could you do this Lerato?
Lerato: (crying) I'm sorry.
Thabang: does this make you happy seeing mom in this bed again right after we have lost our father?
Lerato: no I don't I love her.
Ma Rato: (crying) then abort it, please for my sake.
Lerato: (crying) I'm sorry for hurting you mom. I will do what you want and you can keep the money for your own use but right now I have to go get my clothes they have been thrown out of my apartment.
Thabang: do it now here before you leave.
Lerato: (crying) okay.
Lerato and his brother went to register for an abortion. She was called to get in, as she pushed the door she heard a voice.
Menzi: (shouted) don't do it!!!
Lerato: (shocked and crying) I have to.
Menzi: the baby is innocent.
Lerato: I have no money to raise it and my family will throw me out if I don't abort it. All my cards aren't working and I have been thrown out of my apartment.
Menzi: I will help you I know you don't want to abort it.
Lerato: I don't but even a fool can see I won't be able to taise a baby on my own.
Menzi: lets collect your clothes first we will discuss it on the way
Lerato: okay.
They left and when Thabang came back with water for her she was gone.
