Life, Above All Page #2
Thank you, Rose.
Lillian...
...I'm going to find work...
...and look after you.
Please, forgive me.
Forgive me, Lillian.
We're glad you came.
I know my duty.
Your Sarah paid a terrible price.
What?
As you sow, so shall you reap, sister.
The sins are visited on the children.
Repent.
What is it?
What did she mean?
Tell me.
Why do they hate you?
They'd arranged for me
But your papa and I...
...loved each other so much...
...that we stood up...
...to our families.
Your father was a good man.
May he rest in peace.
Jonah?
Look who's here!
What have you brought me?
Superb!
Your mother does the best work.
How is she?
She's been resting at the house...
...since Sarah went away.
She works hard.
Good work should be rewarded.
See you on Sunday.
Where's Jonah?
That idiot?
I haven't seen him in months.
Why are you wearing his jacket?
Jonah owes me money.
He gave it to me.
I haven't seen him in ages.
That's the truth, girl.
I don't believe you!
You shouldn't have washed
Soly's sheets.
You didn't see his face,
so ashamed.
It was nothing.
From Mr. Pheto.
He asked how you were.
- More gossip.
- No.
He meant well.
It hurts all over.
It hurts all the time.
Except when I look at you.
I ran into Dudu.
That good-for-nothing!
She says Jonah is in Jo'burg.
Away for three months
without a word!
- What are you doing?
- He can go to hell.
- What if he comes back?
- He's a liar!
Nothing but promises!
What are you doing
with Papa's things?
- He asked for them.
- What for?
He's going to Jo'burg.
- When will he come back?
- I don't know.
I want Papa to come home. Now!
Iris!
- What are you doing?
- I'm playing with Sarah.
- What?
That's impossible.
Why?
Because she's an angel.
She doesn't want you playing here.
How would you know?
You and Mama don't love her
anymore, not like me and Papa.
Jonah?
He'd be with us
if he loved us so much.
He loves Soly and me, not you.
You're jealous because
he's not your father.
You'll be sorry when he comes home.
You should stay with us.
Esther is waiting for me.
You should see less of her.
I don't understand.
- I like Esther, she's nice...
- I don't care what people say.
Chanda, I don't think
she's a suitable friend.
You understand?
I say this because I worry about you.
Worry?
Is this you talking, or her?
How dare you!
I saw her sell herself to truckers.
- That's a lie!
- It's God's truth!
- Chanda.
- Let her go, Lillian.
- Why don't you go in?
- They took my key.
You want to see my new room?
- You sleep here?
- They think I'm dirty.
