WHERE IS THE LOVE?

the love is deeply inside a man's heart. not a woman.

                            
           

Scene 1

(Early 8:00 am Thom is in a kitchen enjoying break fast. two young boys arrive with a letter from Thuli. his girl friend. he takes a letter and open it with ecstacy thinking perhaps  there is good news in side)
               
                         "Dear Thom.

happy got my self another chance to write to you. i even wrote two letters back in automn. hope you didn't get  em  cause there probably had a problem at the post office..
some times i scrible the addreses too slopy when i jot them. But anyways how's life there?  here i just wanna let you know that mine and yourz is over!!!!.
have your self some fab days and nights.

sincerely yourz
Thuli"

....(heart beating) He takes a long breath and read the same letter atlist three more times  and become blazed with a sudden bright flame.
Thom don't belive what he's  reading. He pick  up a phone  and triy  to call her but unfortunately the phone is off, and actually she changed the contacts cause she know that Thom  can  call her at any time and   she's no longer  interested of talking to him anymore. And that's the reason she used post office letter instead of giving him a bell.

Thom leaves that letter on the table and leave the house  and eventualy find him self roaming around the street.
"damn!!  what the hell have i done that im intittled to be punished?  no double deeds indeed,  wish god may have a little remose." a drop of tears moves slowly down to his mouth.

There at university of johannesburg (UJ)  Thuli is  preparing her jouney to go home as it was spring holidays. she's  playing cool r&b music. her room mate Palesa arrives from library. as she  could not go home cause  she's still having some corses to complete.

THULI: "so then"?  what would you do?"
PALESA: " i should be also preparing to go home just like you Thuli"
