Brutus vs Noma: Sworn enemies or future lovers?
Since her arrival at the Khoza mansion, Noma-Princess (portrayed by Brenda Ngxoli) has suffered so much emotional torment from Brutus.
There’s always a thin line between love and hate. Could it be that Brutus’s outrage is associated with something deeper than the R10 million she scammed them out of?
Revenge beckons
Brutus is adamant that Noma should pay back the money and is not ready to back down until she does. Brutus can clearly see that life is no longer good for Noma and it’s for this reason that Harriet has tried to help her. Harriet even goes out of her way to create peace between these two.
Let’s take a closer look at the reasons we think Noma could become Bruty’s queen soon.
Brutus couldn’t bring himself to kill Noma
They say once bitten twice shy, and the stubborn Brutus has been showing just how he is not ready to be played again by someone he sees as a con artist.
What’s very interesting is that when he pointed a gun at Noma, ready to blow her brains out, Noma ordered him to shoot but he didn’t.
Noma recently took knives and ordered Brutus to kill her but it ended up with a scene so sweet, we began to think that there is some romantic tension between the two. From what we can gather, it seems like Brutus does have a soft spot for Noma.
Can Brutus and Noma just get a room, please
Too much hate can equate to too much love for a person, and it’s becoming clear that this is the case with Brutus. He likes the woman: it’s just that he doesn’t know how to express his emotions to Noma.
While it’s hilarious to see Brutus make funny comments about Noma, the viewers have realised that these two just need to admit that they like each other.
Brutus blocks Noma from getting a man
We all know Brutus is an easy-going man, but his actions are slowly proving that one night of passion with Noma could ease the sexual tension between them.
This week, while Noma was talking to a man at a cocktail party, Brutus intruded and blocked the conversation by telling the man all of Noma’s scandals.
The attraction masked as hatred will soon wear thin and we hope that soon these two find themselves in a romantic embrace.
