Enticed - Season 1 - Episode 11

Trisha
I packed my bags really fast. I had a lot to do at work but I knew that this day I should be home early. It’s the day dad decided to tell us why everything has been upside down since he got a panic attack. Why mom has moved out of their bed room. Why his anger and controlling has calmed down. Why mom always breaks into a painful sob and doesn’t seem to care about dad nowadays.

I got in my car and took a deep breath. I was late and dad hates late. But still I tried my best to come early.

Me: I am home.

I opened the door only to be suprised by a lot of faces. Zenzele and the kids he was with at the hospital. The woman I saw at the wedding outside the church. Another man who looked way older than dad…. And finally mom. She was sitting on the stair case. What the hell is happening.

Me: good morning… I mean evening. I’m sorry I am late.

Dad: sit down.

Okay… His face was full of different emotions but guilt dominated all of them. What is he guilty about.

Dad: sweetheart… I know you have been confused for the last few days.

Yes I have.

Dad: but sweetheart it doesn’t matter what happened back then or what’s going to happen after this just remember that I love you… I love you so much and what ever I did was for your own good… Veronica, my love, I don’t know if you have decided to leave me or what but I do hope you forgive me.

My heart jumped… Is mom planning on a divorce? I looked at her and she rolled her eyes.

Dad: marry… Forgive me.

Zenzele
He narrated the whole story looking so pale and vulnerable after that he said he will pay for all the damages he had done.

At some point I felt like I shouldn’t have even been there. During some random moments there when Trisha bursts in tears I felt as if her father is going to have a panic attack.

The way trisha was crying I wanted to hold her in my arms and tell her that it was going to be okay. Lefika was angry and he didn’t hide it. Tlamelo was blank. She really has no idea how this is going to affect her life. Tlamelo’s mother had cooled down and the father was not upset because apparently he long knew that the children were not his.

Stan: will you ever forgive me.

Trisha’s mother stood from the stairs and went upstairs.

Trisha: you know dad… The way you are always acting. You bahave as if you are perfect… But you are like the worst person alive right now. And I am not upset that you cheated on mom… I am upset that you shot a pregnant woman.

Stan: I didn’t mean to.

Trisha: it doesn’t matter… You put a gun up her face… You are so unbelievable. I need some air. I can’t stand you right now… I am moving to my husband’s place for a while.
I felt my muscles tighten then I took a deep breath. I messed up and maybe I have lost her forever.

She went out. For some reoson I pitied mr sindia at this moment. I mean he is just about lose his family and I know the pain of losing the one you love.

Tlamelo: so you are my real father… I mean biological father.

Stan: yes…

Tlamelo: what do you intend to do about it?

Stan: I can start becoming your dad if you want me to.

Lefika: we don’t want you to. We are not sure if you still want us alive. We have a dad.

Tlamelo: can you stop being mean for once in your life.

Marry: I forgive you stan… Its not worth being mad over you right now.

Lefika: I want to go home. (Stands up and leaves)

Tlamelo: I also need to have some fresh air.

Me: I will go talk to Lefika.
