#5 At Seane’s House Seane followed him to the bedroom as she folded her hand she stood at the door still staring at him. Seane:(cleared her throat) Baby you are not the cause. Moathodi:(shook his head) so you have been cheating me?...(stood up) Seane for 3 years now that we have been married and we have kids together but now you are telling me that you are HIV positive…(sighed) where did you get the virus? Seane:(deeply) I can explain. Moathodi:You don’t have to explain its obvious you have been sleeping around. There is no other way you could have gotten the disease apart from unprotected sex. Moathodi sat down on the bed and pressed his phone Seane walked to him and sat next to him trying to calm him down but he pushed her away and she fell down on the floor. Moathodi:(sighing) you are disgusting me Seane you should be ashamed of yourself infact where is your medical card. Seane pointed at the drawer Moathodi walked past her angrily and he opened the drawer and took out the card he looked at the small bottle of pills and rested his hands on the drawer and stared at Seane. Moathodi:(shook his head) so you were telling the truth. Seane:(nodded) yes. Moathodi:just because you know that I wont leave or divorce you that’s why you are taking advantage of it? Huh!... Seane:(low voice) can you allow me to confess? Please… Moathodi: what is it again? I have already heard enough am sure you haven’t infected me and the children too. Seane: No the truth is that I slept with your business consultant…I was…(she paused) i Moathodi:(Interrupted) Mr Modise?? Seane:(tearfully) yes. Moathodi: (Loudly) SEANE!! YOU ARE A BITCH!! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? Seane: I had no other choice since I wanted him to help me with some business analysis I told you to come and help me at the store but you refused and you told me that you were busy you know that our clothing store in Main mall has been making a loss and we didn’t have any money to recover it so Mr Modise offered a help to me and I couldn’t refuse. Moathodi:(took a deep breath) you are a fool! What are you trying to say kante?have I ever refused to finance your store since it was established? Just stop beating around the bush and tell me that you have long liked him I knew it because even when I invited him here I could see that your eyes are all over the place. Seane:That’s not true…all i… Moathodi:(interrupted) Just shut up!! Am calling him. Moathodi picked his phone from the bed and dialed Mr Modise’s number the phone rang and meanwhile Seane walked out of the room Moathodi stared at her. Moathodi:Where do you think you are going?Seane:(low voice) I think my phone is ringing in the kitchen am going to take it. Moathodi:(sighed) is that not your phone on top of the dressing table?
