As they finished dinner, Nokukhanya couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She tried to brush it off as mere paranoia, but the encounter with Tina had left her with a sense of unease.

Nkosi, sensing her unease, reached out and took her hand. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, his eyes filled with concern.

Nokukhanya hesitated, unsure of how to bring up the topic. "I met someone today," she said finally, trying to sound casual.

Nkosi's expression changed, and he looked at her with interest. "Who was it?" he asked.

Nokukhanya took a deep breath before answering. "Her name was Tina. She said we met at a mutual friend's party, but I don't remember her."

Nkosi's expression changed again, and this time, Nokukhanya saw a flicker of guilt in his eyes. But it was quickly replaced by a mask of indifference.

"I don't know anyone named Tina," Nkosi said, shrugging. "Maybe she's just someone you met at a party and forgot."

Nokukhanya wasn't convinced. She knew what she saw in Nkosi's eyes, and it wasn't innocence. But she didn't push the issue, deciding to let it go for now.

As they cleared the table and loaded the dishwasher, Nokukhanya couldn't help but wonder about Tina's true intentions. Who was she, really? And what did she want from Nkosi?

The next day, Nokukhanya received a text from Tina. "Hey, girl! It was so great running into you at the mall yesterday. Let's catch up soon!"

Nokukhanya hesitated, unsure of how to respond. She also couldn't reach Nkosi to tell him what Tina said today . A Part of her wanted to ignore Tina's message and pretend she never existed. But another part of her was curious about Tina's true intentions.

She decided to play it cool and respond with a friendly message. "Hey, Tina! Yeah, it was great running into you too. Let's definitely catch up soon."

As she sent the message, Nokukhanya couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. What was she getting herself into?

Over the next minutes , Nokukhanya and Tina exchanged messages, making plans to meet up for coffee. Nokukhanya tried to brush off her concerns, telling herself that she was just being paranoid.

But as the time of their coffee date approached, Nokukhanya couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Who was Tina, really? And what did she want from Nkosi?

As she got ready for their coffee date, Nokukhanya couldn't help but wonder what secrets Tina might reveal. Was she just a friendly acquaintance, or was there something more sinister at play?

Nokukhanya took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves. She would just have to wait and see what happened. She took her phone and sent Nkosi a message letting him know if her location and who's she's with .

As she walked into the coffee shop, Nokukhanya spotted Tina sitting at a table by the window. She waved and smiled, trying to look friendly and approachable.

Tina stood up and hugged Nokukhanya, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "It's so great to see you again!" she exclaimed.

Nokukhanya smiled and hugged her back, trying to play along. But as they sat down and ordered their coffee, Nokukhanya couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

What did Tina want from her? And what secrets was she hiding?...
