Molemo and Lerato left separately. Not because of what happened, but because Molemo wanted to avoid Pulane totally.
Lerato shouldered her whinning all the way to the hotel. At last he couldn't take it anymore. He had fought his best friend to protect her, yet here she was complaining about how much he could have hit that 'slut' and now her beloved would hate her forever.
"Wake up and smell the coffee little missy! Molemo had always liked you as his family not romantically!"
"What? Are you saying what he did is right?" she exclaimed angrily at Lerato.
"Absolutely. You tail the poor guy as if u r a pup."
She was so angry that her lips started to tremble. "I am only showing affection. I just want him to love me. He had always treated me better than anyone and invited me to his events. I refuse to let you assume that he doesn't have feelings for me."
Lerato looked at the pitiful woman beside him. She had turned red. He closed his eyes to control his emotions and spoke slowly. "He did all that for me. Because he knew that I love you. You were on each of our events because I was always desperate to see you. The woman you insulted ealier is the first one to captivate his heart and should anything not work out between the two of them, you are toast."
Pulane was so confused by then. Yes, she knew that Lerato loved her wholeheartedly, but she never contemplated, not even in her wildest dreams that Molemo actually loved someone else rather than her elegant and beautiful self.
It was such a blow to her enormous ego. The only thing she was able to utter before they reached the hotel was a weak "Oh!".

Molemo took a cab to the hotel. He checked with his father to assure him that he had made deliveries on time.
" Oh son, my bank account has already confirmed that you are such a reliable errand boy. when are you boys coming back? Your aunty is also visiting."
"Dad, we will be back a day after tomorrow. Can you do me a favour, I don't want to see aunty."
"So Pulane is still on your case? Man! That is messed up son. I thought she was going to grow out of her stupidity. Imagine me having a daughter in-law who whines all day long. I'll get old in no time."
"Hey you two, am I not remembered as well?"
"Uh, Molemo, your mother is complaining too. here, talk to her."
Molemo talked to his mother. He joked a bit about his sister and neice and hung up.
He had trouble sleeping, praying that Les would not hate him. He remembered her look when she saw Pulane. He sighed deeply in his heart. Her eyes, oh! those eyes. He had looked into them for the second time, and his soul had left. He was desperate for her, he felt incomplete without her. He had to find her.
The following day he was super tired. He had black rings around his eyes that indicated lack of sleep. He was quick to go back to the Hotel's reception and ask for Nthabi's contact. Luckily, playing at her party for free had had its own benefits, he wa given the contacts, not because he needed them but because the receptionist was somehow lost in his sweet smile. She had no idea that it was the only thing he had courage to master, his heart wasn't anywhere close, even his thoughts had drifted away.
Luckily his handsome face and almost giant figure did him some favour.
He went back to hos room, took a seat and dialled Nthabi. He did not even realise someone snooping around in his room!
His call was immediately connected, they talked fir a bit, with him explaining the situation and askimg for any way to contact her. Although Nthabi did not give him any contact or name of her village, she told him that Les was leaving for school the following day.
OH! SCHOOL!!
That part had long left his head. All he wanted was get hold of this beauty before she could slip away again!
After thanking Nthabi, he want into the next room to inform Lerato that they were leaving immediately.
Just like that, Pulane was ignored. She had frozen up when he entered, but as he went out she realised that not even her sexy half exposed body had grabbed his attention.
She was indeed out of words! That woman must have used muti!! There was no way that her beloved could act like that for a woman.
She had called her mother last night and asked for her advice. She was told that no man could be crazy enough to let go of a sexy woman.
But he...
He had not spared her even a single look!! She was desperate for his attention, He on the other hand only thought of his woman!!
