Soon-to-be dad Lehasa (Cedric Fourie) has had a rough time lately. With his babymama Khwezi (Samukele Mkhize) trying to kill him because he chose Pretty over her, and things with Pretty on the rocks because of Khwezi’s pregnancy, things seem to be getting worse for Lehasa.
He has just recovered from being stabbed by Khwezi, then the bomb that Khwezi is pregnant with his child dropped on him. This has put a strain on his relationship with his girlfriend, someone he sees a future with. But at the same time he still needs to honour the promise to take care of his child.
And this inevitably means he also has to take care of Khwezi. How will he balance everything without upsetting anybody?
TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS
As his romance with Pretty deteriorates, Lehasa decides to do something special for her to soften her heart towards him.
Lehasa has to do damage control in order to keep Pretty by his side, and to successfully do this he plans a romantic dinner that she absolutely loves.
But just as Lehasa starts to enjoy his time with Pretty, his world is turned upside down when he finds out that he’s going to court soon for his murder trial.
Lehasa is shocked when he finds out his trial for killing waiter and IT genius Fanie (Gift Mokhampanyane) in August 2021 is going ahead. And adding to his worry of prison is the fact he has bad blood with the judge presiding the case.
A WOMAN SCORNED
While Lehasa is trying to balance everything in his life, Pretty realises the assurances she needs regarding Lehasa and Khwezi’s relationship are not as forthcoming and assuring as hoped for.
While Lehasa is worrying about the upcoming trial and Khwezi’s pregnancy and only then his ailing relationship, Pretty feels neglected enough to do something desperate to get his attention – and she makes a huge mistake.
Pretty is insecure. Her boyfriend is having a baby with another woman, and she feels like Lehasa isn’t making her feel secure and safe in their relationship.
This leads to her hiding Lehasa’s phone to stop Khwezi from constantly nagging Lehasa and limit her contact with him.
But now how is Lehasa’s lawyer supposed to get hold of him?
