Hahaha so bophelo bo mnate neh? You even settle for being a side dish. How does it feel though, knowing that you are second best? Better yet knowing that you are just a booty call? Aledi tshabe struu. Anyways everyone has a choice in their lives. We can’t really judge you for being you.
The next moment you are pregnant. Enklek what are you going to tell that baby? “Ke nyatsi ya papa hao”? Lol that sounds nice neh?
