So pretty.

Hey, my lovies.

This is Soft Love with Zandi J.

Welcome back to all my Softy Fam.

And if you're a new Subby,

I am so happy to share
with you all things Soft Love…

What is Soft Love you ask?

Where do I begin?

The beginning
can sometimes feel a little blurry.

But once it clears up, you can't miss it.

It feels like beach day summers,

warm with just the right breeze.

It feels… perfect.

And when it feels perfect…

you just have to take a leap of faith

and you know,
wear your heart on your sleeve.

Everything is exactly where it should be.

You in his arms and him in your heart.

Dumi, please get the door.

Dumi!

-Well, you read the box, right?
-Yes… I will marry you.

From here, you know how the story ends…

with your perfect forever love.

When love fits right just for you.

When the only tears
you cry are from laughing hard,

and the only pain you feel is in your feet

after dancing the whole night.

Now that… that is soft love.

It’s a wedding!

My daughter!

"On the 14th of Feb 2008,
you became mine forever. Love, D."

Aww!

Guys, can you believe this?

Today, 15 years ago, Dumi
and I exchanged our love for each other,

and today we are exchanging our vows.

-Hey, baby.
-Hey.

Baby?

Dumi?

I can't do this.

Dumi!

Dumi!

Dumi!

Dumi!

Dumisani!

Dumisani, come back! Dumi!

-Dumisani!
-Dumisani! Dumi, come back!

No, where are you going?

Where are you going?

Dumisani, you coward!

Turn that shit off! Turn it off!

Dumi, come back! Where are you going?

Agh, shame man, sorry.

Imagine your perfect man
turning you into a perfect joke.

That’s why
I never believed her bull.

From Valentine's Day to Halloween.

Girl, you’ll bounce back.

Zandi, you’ve been
in this bed since Saturday night.

What is your plan?

Hoping to vanish.

No.

You need to shower. And change!

But friend, what's the point?

Netizens will never
let me forget about this.

You are worried about people who
have an 8.2 seconds-long attention span.

By next week, they'll be preying
on somebody else's sad life.

I am sorry to break it to you, my friend,

but they going forget about you…

like that.

I guess he's forgotten about me already.

He hasn't called, friend.
No message, nothing.

Fifteen years. And this is how it ends?

-How could Dumi do this to me, friend?
-No! No!

We shall never, ever

mention that name in this house again.

From now onwards,
he shall be referred to as…

Sir Douche or Sergeant Poo Pants.

Or even better, Major Shit Stain.

I don't know. You pick.

Friend,

wherever this guy is,

for whatever reason,

I guarantee you

that he will never find a woman like you.

Now, my queen…

I made you this.

-Guess what I put inside.
-What?

-Just guess.
-What?

Therapy in a cup.

-Okay.
-And I'm going to put some more for you.

And a whole lot more for me.

Yeah.

Is… Is Zandi home?

Please, TK! I have to--

-Dumi?
-Zandi!

I'm so sorry. I…

I just couldn't…

It's okay, friend.

You sure?

Yeah, I’m sure.

I sent you messages.

Yeah.

What were you thinking, Dumi?

-Did you even think?
-I, uh…

I did.

But I, uh…

It's okay.

What’s done, is done.

And believe it or not,

I actually understand.

-You do?
-Of course, I do.

And I think we can fix it.

Okay. We can do a live on Instagram
about wedding jitters or something.

-Wait, what?
-Our followers will love it.

Okay, we can be raw about our experience.

"Speed Bumps Can Be Perfect Too."
That can be the title of our series.

Zandi, I don't think that…

It’s going to be great. Dumi,

we are going to be great
because nothing breaks a forever love.

Zandi, I'm trying to say--

That you're sorry,
and I'm saying I understand.

-It's okay.
-I'm gay.

Yeah, I mean, that's why…

-What did you say?
-I'm gay.

I've been wanting
to tell you for years but…

But it's just been too, um…

complicated and…

Complicated?

-Yeah. No, I mean--
-So we’re not getting married anymore?

Time's up.

I think you've wasted enough of her time.

Don't you think?

-Zandi?
-Dumi, leave.

Okay.

Dumi!

Dumi!

Zandi.

You do know that going out
actually means getting out of your house

and getting inside the club?

This is a bad idea.
I mean, what if people recognize me?

The Catch-My-Man thing
happened what, weeks ago, right?

Nobody cares anymore.

TK, you go in. Okay?

-I'll go back home.
-Okay, friend,

can we please go inside
and have reckless fun.

And make many bad decisions
that we're going to regret in the morning.

Please.

Please.

Okay.

Nope!

I’m not going to deal with this right now.

Out.

Out.

-Now! Out!
-Okay.

Here are your ears.

That's a good girl.

That’s why you’re my best friend.

Let’s go.

Okay, okay, okay. Here's your water.

Thank you.

Friend, maybe I should have done
a video about the wedding.

-Why?
-Just to explain what happened.

Bring this here. Thank you very much.

TK, no man, you can't take my phone?

Can you just forget about everyone
and everything and just have fun?

You do not owe those degenerate
social media vampires anything.

-Let's go.
-Those degenerate vampires

pay my bills, okay? I need them.

No. You need a hangover, okay,
to fix your problems. Jeez!

TK?

-Benji.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-Yo, babe.

-Oh, babe.
-How are you?

Oh, look at you!

You know, I still haven't forgiven you
for sneaking out of my place

without leaving your number.

That was cold.

So cold.

And you know what? I don't regret it.

Ouch.

Well, at least let me show you
what you missed out on.

Benji, Benji.

Benji, let me tell you something.

I am not a repeat offender, darling.

Well, I don't mind being offended by you.

Behind closed doors.

So…

Um…

Friend, I'll be right back.

Let's go.

TK, my phone!

Have fun, have fun!

I'm so sorry, I didn't…

-Hey, aren’t you the Catch-My-Man Bride?
-What?

I'd never show my face
in public again if I was you.

Was it really part of the show though?

Or did he really run anyway?

Girl, that man ran.

Yoh, I would have died.

Keys…

Hey… Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Stop! Stop it!

Stop! Stop it!

Hey!

Fuck!

Hey! My bag!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

So sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry!

I’m so sorry.

Can you see?

-Can you see?
-What do you think?

I'm so sorry.

Shit, what a dork!

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Is it helping?

Just stay away from me.

Look, I think if you go after them

now, we might get our stuff back.

You know, they probably hang around at
the train station, if not, the taxi rank.

But we need to go now, okay.

Hello?

They have our stuff.

-No thanks to you.
-Excuse me?

-I was trying to help you.
-Well, you helped them take my stuff!

You helped me lose my sight.

So you’re blaming me?

And that was an accident, obviously.

I had everything
under control until you showed up

waving your knockoff designer back.

And now I've lost my camera,

I've lost my bag and I've lost my sight.

Madam, please just go away
before I lose something else.

-Huh?
-Come on!

Where are you from?

'Cause if you’re from here,
you’d know that once a thug has

his eyes on your shirt,
it’s not yours anymore.

Madam, good night.

Is that your thank you
to a good Samaritan?

Next time, don’t flash
your shit around town at night!

Sus, man.

Fuck!

Excuse me.

Hello? Other people
want to use the toilet too.

So, you’re just a destructive person?

As destructive as you are rude.

You know, I really don’t have
to be here to help you.

Okay.

I need your hair pin.

What?!

You’re locked out of your car,
I need your hair pin to pick the lock.

Are you serious?

Oh, my God, he's serious.

And from which movie
did you see that, Mister?

I fucked up.

Okay, okay.

What?

Nothing.

Really.

How are we going
to start the car, if we get in?

I thought you watched a lot of movies.

Hey!

What is going on here?

What's going on here?

What… Hey, hey.

Officer, no. It’s not what it looks like.

What is going on here?

He’s right. We got robbed
and they took my car keys.

Officer, I didn’t do anything wrong.

What's the problem?

-This is my car.
-Face, face the car!

Now face, face the car.

Hey.

Let’s go.

Fuck!

Okay, let's go. Hey!

Get in!

Sir, please,
I’m telling the truth, It’s my car.

Okay, prove it.

Let me make a call.

You think this is a joke, right?

It is my right.

Your right?

Listen, lady…

this is not USA.

-Watch it.
-Okay, I’m sorry.

I just can’t stay here, please.

I just want to make one call.

Just one, please.

-Err, okay. One call?
-Yes, yes.

-Thank you.
-Make it quick.

Baby.

-Hold on.
-What are you doing?

What?

What are you doing?

Okay!

Argh! TK.

Boss!

You want to make a phone call too?

Please leave your message

-after the tone.
-No, sir.

No?

TK, where are you? I'm at
the police station. Please, come get me.

-They say I was trying to steal my car.
-I hope your papers are in order.

Because my friend,
if they’re not in order,

you and I are going
to sit here for a very long time.

We're going to talk about the Big Five,

the Mandela's…

and of course… the load shedding.

-Officer.
-What is it?

Thank you.

You didn't have enough credit.

You’re talking rubbish.

So you're just going to sleep there?

Hello?

Wow, you are rude!

Oh, my gosh.

What was I thinking?

I should have just stayed at home!

Why did I leave my house?

Zandi Jele, from now on,
you need to stay at home,

mind your business
and keep your mouth shut.

That's it. It's that simple.

Stay at home, mind your business
and keep your mouth shut.

How long do you think you can do that for?

-Excuse me?
-You know you talk a lot.

How long do you think
you can keep your mouth shut for?

I know you're not talking to me.

Just calm down.

You're not going to sleep here tonight.

You are ready to go?

Um…

Give me a sec.

TK, where are you?

I’m at the police station.

Please come get me.

They say I was trying to steal my own car.

What the fuck?!

-Move, move, excuse me.
-TK!

TK, you didn’t give me your number!

Sorry, sorry!

Come on.

Relax.

You’re cold.

You get to go home tonight.

I can't leave till my…

pockets are empty.

I'm a foreigner.

I'm sorry about… the officer.

It's fine.

You’re Nigerian, right?

Ouch.

You don't look like a club owner.

Do I look like a bouncer then?

And you couldn't knock
those two street kids out?

I'm Zandi.

Zandi Jele.

Edward Obi.

I'm…

What's the joke?

Why are you laughing?

I'm so…

I'm sorry.

We got robbed…

then arrested on the same night?

And what did you think
the hair pin was going to do?

-Oh, and you had a better idea?
-No.

No. But where have you
ever seen that work?

Must be nice.

Fun time is over.

Time to go. Hurry. Out! Let’s go.

Come on.

Hey! Sir, you too, my friend.

Let's go, my friend.
Big man, can you get me a drink?

-I don’t have any cash on me.
-You can transfer into my account.

-My Capitec.
-Bestie…

Uh!

-Transfer?
-I can't.

But honestly, when I said make choices
you will regret in the morning,

-this is not what I meant.
-Uh!

-What took you so long?
-I went home first to get these.

Oh yeah? And this?

-Never mind that. Let's go home.
-No, wait.

Edward?

Are you coming?

Yeah.

-You’re getting takeaways?
-Stop it.

-Boss, please.
-Uh!

-Jail changed you.
-Stop it.

Thank you.

This guy is so stingy.

-Constable, can I take this file?
-Yes.

I need to pee.

Do you have a toilet?

I should think so.

Cool.

Are you coming?

Let's go!

The bathroom is through there.

-Okay.
-Zandi, would you like some water?

-Yes, please.
-Cool.

-These are cool.
-Thank you very much.

So, this is what you do?

Do these even work?

Yes… and yes.

But that’s an antique, so, thank you.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Hey.

That's not creepy at all.

Can I see?

Yeah, sure.

Of course.

Argh, Benji.

I still look cute, though.

Now, can you see how beautiful you look,

when you’re not talking so much?

Pity I talk too much according to you.

-It’s a damn shame.
-Oh, wow.

Are we going home or moving in?

Let’s go.

-Thanks for this.
-No problem.

-Thank you.
-Yeah sure!

Mom, Dumi won’t change his mind.

I don’t like it
but there’s nothing I can do about it.

Please, we have to return the bride price.

Okay, bye.

You, my friend, are a buzzkill.

And then?

What's all this?

What does it look like?

A waste of food.

Did you cook everything in the fridge?

Friend, you know
I don’t have a job anymore, right?

Please, sit.

Wait, is this an apology?

Because if it is,
then I think you can do much better.

I was stranded
then got arrested because of you.

Uh-uh. Because of me,

you got a rebound.

A big, tall,

dark, chocolate
dripping mountain of a man.

And ma’am, I give you permission
to reach that summit.

Sis, these eggs are a bit dry hey.

A simple “I am so, so sorry, Zandi”
would have been better.

Watch it, you are full of it.

Anyway,

I saw how Prison Break
was eyeing you last night…

And you know he’s single, right?

Ask me how I know.

Just ask me.

First of all…

…he has only one toothbrush

and no feminine products like,
not in his bathroom, not in his bedroom.

And he has an empty toilet roll.

And you and I know that
only single men can survive

with no toilet paper in their bathrooms.

No, he didn’t.

-What?
-Friend, he deleted our pictures.

Who?

Dumi!

Well that, my friend,
is what moving on looks like, okay.

And you need to do the same.

Anyway,

I need to love and leave you.

Don't want to be late for work.
Need to go ruin some young minds.

Wait, wait wait.
Who's going to clean all of this up?

Well, you need to take your
mind off you-know-who, so…

-No, TK.
-Good morning, goodbye, I love you! Mwah.

And climb on that chocolate
mountain, child.

Climb on it.

-Your eggs are still dry.
-Whatever!

So you remember how to operate a phone?

Mommy.

I'm so sorry, I've just been
so busy with everything and, um…

I’m applying for my View Finder
Alumni Program.

It's… it’s kind of a big deal.

And that’s why you can’t call your mother?

When are you going to fit me
into your plans so I can see you?

We can video call.

If I send you a dirty slap!

We need to talk,

you know, about some things…

like my retirement.

Isn’t that for old people?

I'm sure you have at least
ten more years of work in you.

And I want to spend
those years having fun.

Maybe meet someone new.

I need to recharge these old bones.

-Mother.
-What?

You think living is just
for you youngsters?

Come back home, Eddie.

Duties are not things
we can keep putting off.

I need you to come back and take over what

your father and I built
for you and your sister.

-Mom, I--
-I didn't want you to have regrets.

That is why I allowed you to go to SA.

But now it's not just about you anymore.

There's Amaka.

She’s having to do a lot without you here.

-Is that my love?
-And she can’t do everything alone.

I promise I'll come home soon.

Okay?

I love you, bye.

-Hi.
-Hey! What are you doing?

Eddie, bring it here.
It’s reparations, brother.

Give it, quickly.

-Give that to me.
-No.

You people from Africa won’t understand.

Give them back.

-But we’re in South--
-Just give them…

No.

Is that… Is that the View Finder Program?

Zandi, what are you doing?

Okay.

-Hi, I’m looking for…
-Me? My number?

-…Edward, tall, dark…
-I can’t say yes, but he’s here. Eddie…

-Hey.
-Hey!

-Um…
-I can see you.

-So, come this way.
-Um…

-Hi.
-Hi.

I found this.

Pretty interesting way for you
to say that my work is rubbish.

Ugh, no.

It must have fallen or something.

I wasn't sure that you were going to come.

Yeah. Me too.

But you said you needed to be saved.

So, Zandi to the rescue.

Let me show you around.

-Yeah! Great!
-And, I’ll hold on to this.

So…

this is where all the magic happens.

Let me turn the lights on.

There you go!

Wow!

-It's so pretty.
-Thank you.

Thank you very much.

So you came to South Africa
because of photography?

It's one of the reasons.

I, uh…

I wanted a change.

Why do you take pictures?

Because…

pictures, they…

they don't just immortalize people.

They take memories and feelings…

…and they kind of put them
into a time capsule.

Sounds serious.

I take photography very seriously.

This looks nice.

Thank you very much.

So, in future…

Every time I look at this picture, I will…

always remember how this moment felt.

Hey!

I’m heading out.

-You’re on lock up duty today.
-Zandi?

-I have to go.
-Zandi, um, let me…

Zandi?

Zandi.

-Nigerian prince.
-Zandi!

Can I have your number?

Will I see you again?

I know where to find you.

Zandi?

Zandi?

Come see me this weekend.

Zandi!

Zandi!

No, man.

No.

I'm dying.

And if you think
that I will die for you, you're crazy.

I thought you were my Ride-Or-Die.

I’ll ride in a taxi and go home.

You know,

if you ran this fast after Dumi,
you would have caught him.

Piss off, TK.

You’re actually full of shit.
Do you know that?

This is progress.

A few months ago, you would have cried
if you heard his name.

What changed?

Time heals.

Rubbish!

-Spill it.
-Okay.

I went to go see Edward a few days ago.

Edward?

Prison break.

-That is my girl!
-Calm down, calm down.

It was just once, okay?

And how was it?

Huh?

-How was it?
-TK, nothing happened.

Nothing?

-Nothing?
-That’s it, I’m done with you.

-Nothing?
-I'm done!

Zandi!

Come back here.

Okay.

Make it make sense.

He wants you.

And you want him.

I don’t want him.

mean, I don't want to waste

my time with a once off, okay.

Oh my goodness, you suck at being single.

Who said anything
about happily ever after?

Just one night
of happiness is all you need.

Maybe two or three more
if it's really good.

-Like you did with Benny?
-Benji is his name.

And yeah, let’s use him for example.

He is somewhere out there thinking of ways

to get my attention when he could be like,

solving global warming
or something like that.

But no, his thinking about Thandeka.

Now, whose time is being wasted?

Whatever, TK.

But, for real though,
promise me one thing.

Don't gamble yourself into a relationship.

Just this once, please.

It's not worth it.

And you and I know how it's going to end.

I need a shower.

But you heard me, right?

-Shower.
-Zandi!

Okay.

No.Stop.

No!

Gosh, Zandi. What are you doing?

Hey!

What are you doing here?

It's the weekend.

But it looks like you've made other plans.

I wasn't sure if you heard me.

I'm just heading into town,
I have a shoot.

I’m just waiting for my cab.

Oh! Um…

You had asked.

I could use an assistant.

-Thank you.
-Yeah!

Let's go.

-Thank you.
-Oh, you're welcome.

Oh, wow!

-That was nice.
-Yeah.

It's always fun.

You know, this wasn't what I planned
for our second date though.

Second date?

Don't we need to have
a first date before a second one?

And also, wait. When exactly
did you ask me out on a date?

When you came to see me.

But I don't remember saying yes.

Fair.

But your eyes said otherwise.

The same way your eyes are telling me
that you want me to kiss you right now.

Do you always get away
with these weak lines?

-Do you?
-Sometimes.

Oh, I see.

I see.

So, I should help you, right?

Yes, please.

We’re almost done.

Now, that is for lying.

-No.
-No, what?

Edward, no. Don’t do that!

Is that what you want to do?

No, I won't mind…

That's enough. Now, that's enough!

Oh my God!

You're the…

So, it’s true what
they say about photographers, huh?

What?

One take is not enough.

As many takes as possible.

No.

You need to wash the hands first.

I've been looking forward
to this for so long.

You do as I do.

You make it into a ball.

And then you dig in.

And then you swallow.

It's very slimy.

-Careful.
-Okay.

Yeah.

And then you swallow.

What do you think?

What do you think?

Do you have bread?

I think so.

Amaka, how long does it take you
to sign a piece of paper?

Look, my hands are full right now.

I can't just drop everything
to focus on one thing.

I don't have that luxury, unfortunately.

Amaka, please.

Just stop.

Stop playing games.

Why are you still so rigid?

Aren't you in Cape Town?

You have like, mountains and beaches.

Go hiking, go chill
by a beach or something.

Maybe go for a wine tasting. Just relax.

Look I did not come here
for mountains or wine.

Yeah, you went
to avoid your responsibilities?

Amaka, just sign the papers.

Look, my therapist thinks this pressure
you put on my mental health is toxic,

and honestly,
I'm starting to agree with her.

For once, I actually agree with you.

You need therapy.

Zandi.

You left your takeaway outside.

Good morning.

Shit.

Edward was just leaving.

-I am?
-I'm sorry.

So sorry!

Not now, TK.

Hey, don't be shy on my account.

I would say do you, boo,
but someone is already doing you.

"Prison Break, don’t stop."

My girl.

Busy day?

Something like that. How can I help you?

Did you speak to our suppliers?

They delivered a fraction
of our usual stock.

Apparently,

we brought down our stock numbers. I…

Yeah, that's because we're stocking
more than we're using.

Not according to the inventory.

You're new and eager to learn.

I get it.

You're trying to get
the little gold star from Mommy.

It’s cute.

But relax.

I have it all
under control like I have for years.

Okay?

Anything else?

-Nope.
-Okay.

-Nice blouse.
-Oh, thanks.

It's new.

-Gucci?
-Armani, darling.

Was this for me?

Thank you.

This doesn't make sense.

-Hello?
-Mama.

-How are you?
-Happy now…

that you called me.

Mom, are you okay?

I'm fine.

How are you?

I'm fine. I'm fine as well. Um…

Can you remember that photography
program I told you about?

The ViewFinder Alumni Program.

They've accepted me.

I’m in.

You know, so once they like my stuff,

I’ll get to exhibit in London,
Paris, New York, even Seoul.

So that means you'll be doing

more of traveling than working.

Mom! It's not the same thing.

I’ll be traveling for work.

But the most important thing is, you know,
they have to first like my work.

So I'll have to have an exhibition.

So, um…

that’s why I’m calling you.

Mom, please, I…

I need a loan.

I need $2500 to carry out
the exhibition, and then if that goes well

I'll need $17500 to travel.

You know, flights, for food…

accommodation.

But I promise you, once I start making
money, I'll pay you back every dollar.

Edward, is this what you call a job?

If am getting this right, you have
to pay them to look at your pictures.

Does that even make sense?

I'll start making money
once I start selling my work.

Come back to Lagos and sell your pictures.

That way you don't have
to keep asking me for money.

Because you'll be working here with us.

-Mom…
-Paying for your photo things

is not helping anybody here.

I am sorry I can't keep sending you money.

Come back home.

Jeez.

Thank you.

Thanks my man, I'll take it from here.

TK.

Is it too much?

Okay, okay.

Listen.

If you're going to be doing cheesy shit
like this, we're going to have a problem.

Babe, these flowers are special.

I picked them just for you.

Just let me love you.

'Cause you deserve nice things.

And these… these are nice.

I still can’t believe
you slid into my DMs.

-You?
-Me too.

So please do not make me regret it with

-flowers and stuff.
-Come on.

-Yeah.
-But you like it.

-No.
-You like it.

-You like it.
-Sh! Stop it, Benji.

It was nice.

Do you know why
he hasn't committed to you,

Because you haven't committed
to making him committed…

Be intentional.

If he's the right one,
you'll know from the start.

If it doesn't hit you
on the first date or the first kiss,

it definitely won't hit you
three years down the line.

Time is precious, my lovies.

If he can't define it, leave.

Hey, you look like you need a smoke.

You know I don't smoke.

You’re stressed, brother.

Your veins are fighting
to come out of your face.

Are you getting some rest?

Not really.

Is that woman keeping you up?

Eddy, if I had a woman like that…

But I can only dream.

'Cause our women don't look at us like
that anymore since you guys got here.

They only have eyes for you.
You steal all of them.

Eddy speak to me, man.

Look, my uncle's

wife's cousin's daughter

on my mother's side was a therapist.

So I give the best advice.

-Eddy?
-Fine. Witbooi…

can you loan me $20,000?

-Twe… twenty thousand… twenty-thousand?
-Yeah.

So you're not one of those rich Nigerians?

Okay.

-You’re wasting my time.
-Okay, I’m joking, wait, man.

Is this for the fancy photography program?

I told you, it's only for rich people.

You don’t listen.

Eddy,

listen.

Why don't you get the sponsorship
from the studio?

-I can do that?
-I get it all the time.

But…

it's a silent sponsorship.

And what exactly is a silent sponsorship?

That means you shut up
and don't get caught.

It’s not corruption.

Mr. Booysen, hard at work as always.

Best employees, Mr. Booysen.

Best.

This guy is a scammer.

-Huh?
-No, nothing.

I could just ask him.

You still don’t get it.
This is South Africa.

Beggers will always be beggers
unless they become takers.

And it's not stealing, it's balancing.

-How do you come up with this nonsense?
-No, no.

It's not nonsense.

It's good sense.

My pleasure! Thank you.

Your friend, Witbooi.

Silent sponsorship, Eddy.

How was your day?

Edward, I've been thinking.

Okay?

God, how do I do this?

Six months ago,

my fiancé left me on
a dirt road on our wedding day.

-I'm… I’m so sorry.
-It was a lot.

And I just want to make sure I don't go
through something like that ever again.

Um, so, what exactly
are you trying to say?

What I'm saying is…

Edward, I need to know what we're doing?

What are we doing how?

As in, is this a casual thing, or what?

Because if it's a casual thing,
then it's not gonna work for me.

Um…

I wasn't expecting this conversation.

So can we pause it on this?

-For now.
-So then you can't define it?

No.

Zandi, there’s…

there's a lot…

going on with me right now.

I have this exhibition that I'm

working on for this program and…

it costs a lot of money.

My family…

they want me to move back home,

join the family business.

I don't want to.

So they cut me off financially.

So you're leaving?

But what are we even doing?

-Zandi! Listen to me.
-Like, why are we here?

Do you know why I turned back

to help with your car that night?

Because apart from my mother,

no other woman has ever put her life

in danger for mine.

I mean, I think it was stupid,

but it was amazing.

Now, this is not the answer
that you wanted to hear.

I want you around me every single day.

Just in case I need saving again.

So what are you going
to do about your exhibition?

Probably get an advance from the office.

Crowd Funding Campaign.

Silent sponsorship, Eddie.

And meet the spade, one five.

We're good.

Alright.

-Excuse me, play.
-Easy with me.

Nah, it's…

Yes!

Okay.

Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Thank you very much.

It's not much, but it's something.

Oh! This might help pay for your wall.

And your advance
has been very helpful, baby.

You know, I'm just crossing fingers
the campaign hits target soon 'cause…

I didn't get the advance.

It's….

It's against company policy.

So how are you paying
for the printing and framing?

I got a sponsorship.

Oh, that's great, baby.

That means you don't have
to pay for the material then, right?

It's… it's a silent sponsorship.

-What?
-Babes, see.

Once I make money,
I'll pay back for everything.

I've kept track of everything
that I have used. Every cent.

Edward.

-But that's stealing.
-No.

It's not stealing. It's just balancing.

You know, every time I think I know you,

you just show me someone new.

Look… I'll pay back every cent.

I promise.

Babe, I promise.

We'll be fine, okay?

We'll be fine.

No.

No.

-I think that's dinner.
-No, I’ll get it.

Why? You can wait in here.

I can’t let you go.

No, move.

What was I doing?

Hang on. I'm coming.

Food!

Zandi J.

You’re actually
more gorgeous in real life.

Excuse me?

Sorry for barging in,
my feet are killing me.

-Oh no.
-Excuse me?

Flying never liked me. Gosh.

Edward?

Babes, are you coming back?

Edward, can you come?

I can't wait to see the look on his face.

It's been so long.

Look, I don't care who you are
or why you are here.

You can tell that to the cops, okay?

-I think you are going to care.
-Where's my freaking phone?

But, okay! No problem.

-Edward!
-Coming!

Babes, what’s up?

Amaka?

-What are you doing here?
-To see my husband, silly.

I've missed you.

Stop, stop! Stop it.

Zandi, Zandi…

It's not what you think.

It's not what it looks like, please.

Husband?

I guess it was just casual for you.

She didn't know?

Shame.

Eddy, I didn’t realize
you could be a bad boy.

Stop it.

Babe, I can explain, please.

I think it's a little too late
for any kind of relationship advice but…

-You know?
-Amaka, stop!

Stop it! And leave my house now!

-Leave!
-I should leave your house?

-Zandi!
-"Zandi!"

Zandi!

Wow.

Mommy really went all out with this place.

Nice.

Zandi. Zandi!

Hey, hey, Zandi!
Please just hear me out! Please.

Just hear me out.

Look, she's my ex.

She's my ex.

Fuck you, Edward.

You’re not only a thief,
but you're also a fucking liar.

Zandi, I'm begging you,
please just hear me out.

-Fuck you!
-We're getting a divorce.

Zandi, I'm begging you! Babe, please.

Zandi…

Zandi! Zandi, please.

Zandi!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Of course the golden boy
is well taken care of.

Why didn’t you tell her about me?

-What is there to tell?
-Last I checked, I'm still Mrs.Edward Obi.

I think that's quite a lot to tell.

Don't you?

Nwamaka, please…

just leave my house, please.

You're asking your wife
to leave your house?

Can you hear yourself?

Okay, wait… wait.

-Why won't you just talk to me?
-What?!

Whatever it is, we can sit down
and talk about it and fix it.

Amaka! What do you want from me?
What do you want?

I want my husband back.

Friend?

You’re… you’re here? I thought you were…

Why are you… why are you in a gown?

I want us to build
a life together like we planned.

But we tried!

I tried! You know, I tried.

Asking me to leave everything
so that you can chase your dreams

-is not trying for our marriage.
-For one year.

All I asked was one year
to get on my feet, that's all.

You’ve been getting on your feet
for more than one year.

Baby, you've always struggled
to dream big.

You left everything to do what?

Come and do nothing.

I left to follow my dreams.

I left to follow my ambition.

So I can make my own choices.
Make my own decisions.

This is the problem with people
that grew up with privilege.

Your hobby is not your freaking ambition.

Owning a chain of fine dining restaurants,
that is an ambition, don't you get it?

Now, I remember,

why things can never work out between us.

Amaka, all you care about,

is money.

That's all you care about.

Edward.

Zandi, he has an ex-wife!

Who the hell forgets
that they have an ex-wife?

-And why is he keeping her a secret?
-Nothing is ever enough for you.

Nothing! That's why I didn’t tell anybody
about you, because I want to be free.

Free from what, exactly? Please, tell me.

Huh? Free from being a man?

Free from taking care
of your responsibilities?

Free from working on your marriage?

Free from building a legacy?

Tell me, what exactly
you want to be free from?

You have a freaking golden goose back home

but you came here
to chase a local chicken.

Have you lost your senses?

But also you, Zandi…

why do you keep allowing
this type of shit to happen to you?

I told you to keep it simple.

Smash-and-dash. But no.

Zandi just had to go
and create a future with this gent!

TK, please.

-No. No!
-Not this again, please.

No! Listen to me.

Love is not real.

How much more proof do you need?

-Come on!
-Baby?

Hey, I was just wondering
if you're coming to bed or not…

Wow.

So I can't want to be in love,

but you can stash
your boyfriend in your room?

-Huh?
-No…

So much for smash-and-dash, TK.

Zandi, it's not like that.

Zandi…

Fuck.

Zandi… Look, I'm sorry
about what happened earlier.

But please I need you to pick up my calls.

Just hear me out.
I can explain everything, please.

I can’t believe you.
You’re not even going to pretend

that your wife standing here
before you call your side chick.

Are you kidding me?

Huh?

Amaka, are you going to leave?

Because if you don't, I will leave.

We’ll see.

I’m coming.

-TK, I’m here to see…
-No! No!

I need to see Zandi, please.

-She’s sleeping.
-Please.

TK, please.

Okay, I lied.

She just doesn't want to see you.

Do you see how easy that was,

telling the truth?

That's something you need to learn

before you hurt more people in the future.

Be honest.

Wait, please.

Can I have a pen?

Uh!

Thank you.

Please.

Please, can you give this to her?

Hey, my loves.

It feels so weird

being here after such a long time.

And I'm sure you all know why I left.

I don't want to do this,

but it has to be done.

I have to say good bye
to Soft Love, for good.

It's time you all find
your own definition of love.

Without my influence.

You should be ashamed of yourself, sis.

She ruined the poor woman's marriage
because hers didn't happen.

I'm sure that's why Dumi left her.

We don’t need your advice
on how to steal married men.

“SA woman stole my man.” No, no…

“Soft love? More like stolen love."

Fuck!

I don't want to see you
once I get back from work.

-I don't care. Go anywhere.
-Eddie…

-Okay, bye.
-Go, go!

-Bloody scammer!
-Go, go!

-That's him.
-No, no! Sir, please.

-I don't want to hear it.
-Just hear me out, please.

-I'm not interested.
-Please, sir. It’s not what you think.

I don't care, I don't care.

I took track of every cost.
I’ll pay you back.

I don't care about the money.
It's about principles.

Sir, I’m not a thief, please.

-Just hear me out, please!
-Nobody steals from me. Nobody!

-Just hear me out, please.
-It's unacceptable.

Really!

Hey.

Can I sit?

I envy you, you know?

You've got it all figured out.

What you want, how you'll get it.

What's worth your time and what's not.

I mean, yes, your standards are…

very high.

But at least you have them.

Me, I…

I don't know, man.

Today is all that matters to me.

I'm sorry, friend.

About everything.

Everything that I said
and everything that I didn't.

Like this whole Benji thing.
I don't even know what it is yet, but…

I'm sorry.

You know, you've said a lot
of hurtful and stupid things before,

but I've never heard you say I'm sorry.

Yes, and that is why I'm going to wash

my mouth with soap after this.

How did you know I was here?

You are the Zandi Jele.

Friend, your entire life
is like a corny rom-com.

You know, I envy you.

You do what you want
and say what you want.

I'm just a grown woman
who still believes in fairy tales.

-It’s just pathetic.
-No.

Friend, I don't think
you realize how brave you are.

You keep going back
over and over and over again.

Even when love

gives you a hard smackdown.

I know nothing about love.

You know the good parts.
The parts that matter.

But I wish I learned
about the bad parts too.

The parts that hurt.

Like hurting someone you love.

You know, I truly wish
that I could hurt him

for hurting you like this.

I already did.

I think I got him fired.

Girl, that is savage!

Whoa.

Shit, you’re being serious?

Friend, that could get his permit revoked.

Amaka is a selfish, selfish cow.

I'm sorry. I know you married her.
But that woman is a…

You know…

you know there's only
one way to get rid of her, right?

That's what the divorce is supposed to do.

I know someone

who can make her disappear
right out of our lives

for good.

Chi Chi.

What are you on about?

I know I don't like Amaka
but to get her killed?

Euw! No.

I’m talking about an auditor.

The restaurant is struggling.

And I think Amaka knows
way more than she’s leading on.

What are you talking about?

Well, the fact that Mommy trusts her

with all our finances
and gives me the rubbish jobs.

Look,

I know that Amaka is greedy,

but accusing her of being a thief?

Then how is she affording her lifestyle?

All those expensive things?

Armani, Tom Ford, Gucci…

a Givenchy handbag?

That's a $20,000 handbag, bro.

Twenty thousand dollars?

Yeah.

Look, if I'm not paying for it

-then I really can’t be bothered.
-Eddie…

you need $20,000 for your exhibition,

and you don’t care that your estranged
wife is walking around Lagos

with a $20,000 handbag?

Plus what she did to you was evil.

She didn't do it alone.

Fine, I’m sure you had your reasons

for not telling your girlfriend
about your ex-wife,

but you need
to stop letting her take you hostage.

Instead of hiding in the house
since you came back, like you have been.

How about you get back at her?

Hit her where it hurts her the most.

In her bank account.

When can the auditor start?

I will send yo my passport copy

and my travel details this afternoon.

Email me if you need anything else.

Okay.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

The Lord is good.

He always answers my prayers.

You actually left the house.

Well, I came out because you threatened

to kick me out if I didn't show up today.

I don't think God
had anything to do with this.

Keep quiet.

I prayed for the wisdom
to get you out of the house.

Yes.

See how handsome you look.

Very handsome.

I'm happy to see you out
of the house since, you know…

Yes.

Thank God Amaka
came to see you when she did.

Otherwise you'd have been all alone.

Anyway,

you’re back home now, where you belong.

Right where you belong.

This place looks different.

Yeah,

a lot changed while you were away.

And a loads more changes are coming.

Starting with my retirement.

Mom, we spoke about this.

-You don't have to retire.
-Edward.

Amaka is settled in accounts supervision.

Chioma is an expansion.

And you…

you have a lot to catch up on.

-I can help with that.
-Perfect.

And that will give you two time
to talk about your marriage.

-Yeah.
-Enough of all this divorce nonsense.

You can even move back into our home.

Right?

I say amen to that.

Mom.

Don't you think
it’s better if I learned from you?

I told you I’m retiring.
I'll be in Asia soon.

-Asia?
-For three months.

That means you have till
the end of this month

to get your act together and take over.

Starting from today.

Oh, by the way,

Pastor will be coming over
from church on Sunday

to pray for you
over that South African thing.

I’m sorry.

They’ve punished my son.

Okay, see you guys later.

-Thank you, Mommy.
-Oh, um…

Pastor will be praying
over your marriage too.

Thank you, Mom.

Would you relax. It's not that bad.

Look, soon you’ll be running this place.

And the ten others.

-You and me together, side by side.
-Amaka.

-Stop, stop.
-You stop it.

People are looking at us.

One, two…

One, two.

Morning!

Good morning.

I don't know,
maybe she's going through a phase.

Like this whole Asia thing.

What's up with that?

And now she wants to start dating.

Maybe she'll return
with an Asian stepdad for us.

No, no. That's weird.

That's very weird.

Are you ready to go?

Why are we going so early?

It’s 7:00 a.m.

-Why are we going so early?
-Wow, Cape Town ruined you.

Bro, this is Lagos. No time to check time.

Got to go. Your freedom awaits.

One, two. One, two.

Let's go!

-Here is your water.
-Thank you.

Yeah.

-Zandi.
-Dumi.

That plant is doing a great job.

-Hey.
-Hi.

So sorry, I didn’t see you coming.

Zandi, relax, I'm…

This is an interesting chapter.

Yeah.

We’ve had a lot of great chapters, though.

Like when we snuck
into that club on Fifth Street?

Do you remember?

Wait, that's when we had our first

real kiss, right?

That's also when the lights
came on for me.

And you just knew.

Aside from genuinely
wanting to get wasted?

Yeah. I did.

But why didn't you say something?

Anything.

Like what?

I hear you.

I can't believe I was so self-absorbed.

You were in love.

-So was I.
-Dumi, you don’t have to.

-It’s okay.
-No, it's the truth.

You made it so easy to love you.

"Love" and "easy" can never be
in the same sentence, Dumi.

Are you talking about
the drama with the IG wife?

I am so blocking you after this.

Please, I walked out from…

well, I ran out from marrying you,

not out of your life.

Do you think I stopped caring
about you and things you get up to?

Did you love him?

I don't think he felt the same way.

You know why it was so easy to love you?

No one believes in love like you.

And he knows that too.

Enough about me.

I’m happy you found someone.

Well, I'm happy we finally got to talk.

Happy belated birthday, by the way.

September 7th.

I didn't forget.

-Okay, I…gotta go.
-Oh, yeah.

Okay.

-Okay. Bye.
-Bye.

Yea, thank you.

Thanks, shall we?

So these have been
checked already, as you can see.

-Okay.
-But you can also check

these on the system
if you just click in here.

-Amaka, Amaka…
-And…

What are you doing?

Don't you miss me being so close to you?

Stop! Amaka, stop it!

What is wrong with you?

Why would you think
that I'm willing to touch to

after everything that you've done?

-Eddie…
-Amaka, stop… just, please.

Please.

You’re the most self-obsessed person
that I ever met in my life.

I don't know how,
but I'm going to get rid of you.

Eddie, Eddie.

I'm not going anywhere
until I get exactly what I deserve.

Shit.

I know! I know, I know I'm late.

I was cleaning the whole day.

That's because you’ve been
skipping your cleaning day.

Compliments of the season, ladies.

-Thank you.
-Enjoy it.

-I’ve ordered drinks.
-Thanks, cutie.

-Wow! TK?
-What, I’m just having fun.

Just because I'm in a relationship
doesn't mean I have to be boring.

Speaking of, um…

He kinda might have…

He did ask me to move in.

I didn't say yes.

But I didn’t say no.

But?

-Maybe?
-It’s official.

I'm going to die alone.

Or you can call Edward.

-And say what?
-You’re still sitting on his money.

-You can start there.
-So he can use it to take his wife

on a holiday?

In fact, I need a holiday
after the year I’ve had.

-It's called restitution.
-I get it.

But you need to call Edward.

What's this?

You should skip to the last page.

TK? Where did you get this?

Okay. I didn't do it on purpose. Okay?

He came that night and gave it to me,
and it fell or slipped or something.

But at least I found it, right?

I love you,

I love you too.

But…

I guess I am paying.

Hey, cutie.

What did you say your name was again?

-Morning.
-Hi!

Camera?

Great.

-Thank you.
-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.
-Well done! Cheers.

I should be taking you to the airport,

to make sure you’re going to Lagos

and not the Bahamas without your bestie.

Okay, girl.

Uh, friend, this is it!

-Okay, that's enough.
-Okay, okay.

-Thank you
-Dont forget this.

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

-Thank you, friend.
-You good? You got it?

-Yeah, I'm good.
-Sure?

-Okay.
-Yeah, I'll be good.

Don’t say I don't do anything for you.

This is good.

Can I give it to her?

I want to see the look on her face.

No.

I've got this.

Zandi.

-What are you doing here?
-Hey.

Is this…

-Zandi Jele.
-Hey, Chioma Obi, nice to meet you.

-Lovely to meet you.
-Let me help you with that.

-Thank you.
-Zandi.

Why are you here?

Oh, I um…

-I came to--
-What he meant was

what are you doing here?
You should be at home.

Oh, you must be so tired from your flight.

Let me get the driver to drop you off.

Hey, how was your flight?

-It was fine.
-Good, good.

Welcome to Lagos.

-Thank you.
-Ooh!

I absolutely love your hair.

-Thanks, girl.
-I love it.

I got it in a bun…

Literally, and this pineapple top…

No, no, this was literally my friend.

-No!
-She was like, you should get it…

I'll be right back.

Okay.

What are you doing?
If you're not going to talk to her,

I’ll literally make up stuff
and you’re not gonna like it.

It will literally piss you off.

What are you, five?

If you're gonna be childish.

Excuse us.

"Excuse us."

Do you want a drink?

No, thank you.

Edward, I'm so sorry about everything.

Okay, I didn't mean
for things to go this far.

I'm so sick and tired of you guys
making decisions without thinking

because you're hurt or whatever.

So you think it's okay for you
to just show up and apologize?

Edward, you lied to me first.

And in return you chose to ruin my life.

My dreams.

I didn't mean for that to happen.

What did you think was gonna happen?

You're just so hung up on revenge,
you didn’t care how I felt,

-what I had to say!
-I trusted you.

I didn't think
you'd be hiding a wife, a whole wife.

All I needed you to do

was for you to hear me out.

That's all.

Okay, so what now?

I don’t know.

Enjoy your holiday.

-Zandi.
-Hi…

Can you take me to a hotel, please?

Don't be silly. You can stay here.

No. No, I can't stay here.

Also,

can you please give this to Edward?

I think you should give it
to him yourself.

I know, he can be stubborn.

Look, just try to be patient with him
and hopefully he will soften.

Let me know if you
need any more help, okay?

Alright!

You know what? Let's talk later, okay.

Driver?

-Drive, please.
-Mr. Edward is coming, ma’am.

No, no, he's waiting for someone.

Drive, thank you.

Where is she going?

-Good morning, sir.
-Morning, how are you?

-Where is Chioma?
-I don't know.

These children!

No fucking way.

What’s this girl doing in Lagos?

Girl, you got some nerve coming here.

Amaka.

I was wondering
when I'd see your face again.

Look, I don't know what they told you,

but this is Lagos.

We drag babes like you to the gutter

for messing with our men.

Do you hear me?

What's going on here?

Patience dear.

First, I'd like for us to play a game,

and then we'll have dinner.

Decipher this.

What takes from something

and leaves nothing?

-Amaka.
-Correct.

-Are we still playing games?
-No, Mommy.

The only one playing a game here is Amaka.

She keeps taking from us…

-…just like a parasite.
-Amaka…

why don't you tell mom
what you've been doing?

What I've been doing?
You mean what you've been doing?

Cheating on me
with your Zulu girlfriend in South Africa?

Bringing her to your mother's house.

Man up, Edward.

You couldn't handle a real woman like me

so you decided to find someone
who could tolerate your weakness.

Now all of a sudden, you two

are trying to cook up a witch hunt
to get rid of me, right?

Well, let me tell you something, darling.

I’m not going anywhere.

You and I are together forever.

For better, for worse.

No leave, no transfer.

Amaka, at this point it's just
embarrassing, you need to stop.

Hey!

Somebody better tell me

what is going on
in this house before I lose my mind.

First off, I want to know
who that young lady is.

And what is all this talk
about Amaka being a parasite?

This is Zandi Jele.

She is…

she was my girlfriend.

Is this the son I raised you to be?

I don't want to be with Amaka anymore.

And I don't think
she should be near your business either.

We had the restaurants audited
and this came back.

-Please.
-What?!

Why?

Mommy, I can explain everything.

-I just need to…
-Shut up!

You already had a share in the company.

Everything Edward has also belongs to you.

Maybe you should just leave.

Not before you sign these.

Well done, Edward.

You finally grew a pair.

Or should I say, "Well done, Zandi"?

Because you're suddenly
manning up because of her.

You Obis really think
you're better than me?

After everything I've done,
you think you're better than me?

And you want to throw me out like trash?

Mommy! Don't! No.

Easy.

Easy.

She's not worth it.

Okay?

Amaka, you don't know
when to stop, do you?

Now, get out!

And the next time I see you,

you better have your lawyer with you.

Edward?

Can I please talk to you?

You’re angry and you probably hate me

for what happened, understandably so.

But can you just please
allow me to fix what I can?

And I promise you'll never see me again.

Please, Edward.

I…

bought your cameras back.

You bought my cameras back?

And I have a surprise for you.

Come.

-It's raining.
-I know, come.

Do you like it?

I love it.

You know, this…

this reminds me of our first date.

-First date?
-Yeah.

With you running in,
bag swinging in the air.

Being very impulsive.

I cannot believe
you still think that was a date.

You always follow your heart.

And that's what I love about you.

Zandi, I'm sorry.

I should have told you
about Amaka… way sooner.

And I'm sorry about that.

But I'm here now.

And I want to tell you that Zandi…

I choose you.

And I will always choose you.

Over and over again.

Always.

Loving is harder than they show ya

Never know until you’re bruised and burned

Four hours in a beer bar

Our love be making a left down turn

You want me to follow you
Follow you to the gallows

The road getting dark and very narrow

I’m scared sometimes, but then I trust you

That you would never hurt me, oh no

There are times
in our lives where we learn

to redefine what we thought we knew.

And for me,

I've relearned what soft love is.

It's not always playing it safe

and being what everyone tells you to be.

It's coming of age and stepping into

who you believed to be.

Eight, seven,

-six, five, four,
-Allowing yourself to be loved…

-three, two, one!
-…even when it looks scary.

Happy New Year!

Where should I put this?

-Soft love is not perfect.
-Here.

It has no formula
to finding or keeping it.

-You are happy now?
-Yeah.

-Thank you.
-You are welcome.

It might not even be soft.

Welcome.

That it is, my lovies,

it's worth fighting for.

You don't let it slip past you
just because it doesn't look

the way you imagined it would be.

-Hey!
-Hey!
