Although, things came crumbling down when she did not get the publishing deal and her boyfriend, Norman broke up with her and gave up writing romantic stories and love.
Her accountant, Robyn (Mandisa Bardill) urges Moratiwa to start selling more books if she wants to the place afloat.
Her best friend Tashaka (Thishiwe Ziqubu) who is also a writer believes that Moratiwa has commitment issues in which she is in denial of that.
She is spotted by Nat Masilo (Maps Maponyane) who is a famous model and tries to pursue and she shows no interest in him.
The following day, Moratiwa bumps into Nat along the way and concludes that he is not the right one for her because he is the "4'5 ft man" and he doesn't read books.
Although the event was a success some books were sold, but not enough money was saved to pay debts and to fix electrical problems.
The following day, Tashaka comes back and finds the apartment a mess and a half-naked Katlego drunkenly asleep, she wakes up him, breaks up with him and kicks him out with his two friends.
