the deck he’s building, so after work Fezile
goes straight over to Ntokozo’s place.
When they get to the door, Ntokozo greets
his wife, gives her a hug and tells her how
beautiful she is and how much he’s missed
her while at work.
When it’s time for supper, he compliments
his wife on her cooking, kisses her and tells
her how much he loves her.
Once they’re working on the deck, Fezile
