Tonight's episode was really confusing. What was going on with our beloved Khaphela?
Khaphela has been wanting to get physical with Magda for a while now and Magda was saying she is not ready but our Khaphisto promised that he would wait.
So finally on Friday, our babygal told Khaphisto she's ready to be scratched by more than the beard on his face and it appears something did happen because babygal was on cloud nine, hinting to Khethiwe that things got steaming hott the night before.
Instead of being in the clouds like Magda, Sbari was kinda feeling depressed when Khethiwe went to see him in the garden and I wondered whether it was because the action was not what he expected.
He was looking sad, disgusted and horrified...damn, I felt horrified seeing that after all the strength it took for Magda to finally agree to be with him (lord knows she needed it), Khaphela would feel that way and not be excited. Shame on you, Khaphela, that's what I thought.
The way he brushed Magda off the next day, damn! The next day is like the most important day Khaphela! All of a sudden he's in too much of a hurry to wait for her to get her bag and walk with him to the "shops" ?
The shop turns out to be none other than a clinic. Brother Khaphisto has gone to get an HIV test done.
Does this mean they did not use protection? Does he not trust the glove?
What the hell happened?
We always complain when TV is predictable but there's nothing as frustrating as watching something and still not know what is going on (kinda like it was with me and the Matrix).
Didn't Khaphela and Magda use protection? It can't be, Magda was mos telling Khethiwe that she now teaches people about safe sex etc.? She even brought Khethi a whole pack of non-scented Manto condoms and virgin Mary..ummm.. virgin Khethiwe acted all high & mighty, like she was seeing them for the first time. Another Kelly Khumalo?? Yeah, right, Ace gonna tap that....
So, it's night time Magda and Sbari are sitting on the couch, reading and obviously Magda enjoyed their encounter the previous night because she is all over Khaphela but instead of singing Akon's ...smack that, all on the floor, smack that, give me some more, smack that, till you get... Sbali's on some 'I'm trying to concentrate, if you don't mind". Yho! I don't think anything beats the pain of rejection that happens the night after the first night.
I don't care what Khaphela is going through but man, that was cold!! If he had fears about being infected, he should have dealt with them before jumping into bed with Magda.
He sleeps with her and now all of a sudden "the relationship is moving too fast"?
What the hell was he expecting? Thunder, Lightning and fireworks? Sorry baba, you should have told us to arrange special effects ke mos.
I can only imagine what poor Magda is going through, it's bad enough for a man to make you feel like he regrets being with you, but when you have HIV to deal with, I'm sure it's even harder to comprehend..
I really couldn't believe my eyes. Khaphela? The perfect Khaphela, being so inconsiderate? Hayi khona!!
Ag sies, Khaphela maan, sies! What the hell are they making you do? You're like one of the few darlings in the soapie and they wanna make us hate you too??
What am I supposed to feel?
Am I supposed to feel sorry that he might have put his life in danger?
Am I supposed to feel scared for him and pray that his test comes back negative?
Am I supposed to feel angry that he would be stupid enough to think he would know immediately? After all the studying he did?
Am I supposed to feel angry that he treated Magda that way?
Am I supposed to feel happy that he finally got some action, even if he regrets it now?
Am I supposed to believe that no man would want to be with a woman if they tested HIV positive?
What am I supposed to feel?
