The sack (gunia)



By now am panting heavily my toungue out gasping for as much air as possible.( this is the point where I wish we would breath though the skin). Five seconds are not even over up on our heals again.

Let me clear the air you may think I changed ma career but no. I happen just to be in the in the wrong place at the right time. Now we at 'koja' facing ngara. One guy asks me " wako wapi?" And without even thinking I relied: " ata sijui"

The air clears no more running battles, they start arranging their sacks on the ground and display their  merchandise. I collect  my breath for a few more minutes and begin waking back to the CBD.

As I approach fire station am grabbed ruthlessly by some guy and before I could curse out a few words or even form a fist I was facing the opened back door of a city council van.

"Mumeshinda hapa mukitusumbua Leo mtarujua"; this were words of one of the guys as he kicked my ass into the van.

We were like 27people in there its even by God's grace we fitted  in there. ( imagine my troma considering the fact that am an uptown boy).
Let me shade the light on this (before  i pass out  any time soon the beating plus lack of air) am not a hacker, I happen to be carrying a "gunia" you know this guys banded paper bags and I needed to transport  some  goods from one point to another. Its not that the government gave us alternatives...............

Dinner

I look straight into her eyes , she is not the best in my pool but at least she tries (I think).she smiles and blushes away and doesnt notice am in deep thoughts. Yes she is not perfect so am I. She's neither the worst. The great book says says a man a man shall leave his parents and build his home. I have already left home, now leaving in a rental apartment alone (though she constantly crushes for days). Am yet to build a home. Is she the one I should build a home with? is she the rock, the pillar , foundation I want to work with. This questions have been flood my mind for a long time and I need answers ASAP.  "Dear what's up?", she asks Do I tell her the truth? They do say truth and honesty is key, how will she react? Does she do the same or does she tell me what i need to hear. "Nothing dear", I reply. I snap back to reality and lord oh lord she is looking gorgeous. That's blue dress brings out the curves in her perfectly. "You looking tasty...

Unga

Remember my ka-subaru that broke down? Imagine this dude has never finished repairing it. Actually am at the garage and this dude has the audacity  to climb up another man's car and begin repairs while mine is collecting dust. "Habari ya mzee?" (Dude who are calling mzee?,do I look like someone's dad?) "Poa, bado hujamaliza na uko juu ya ingine?" This conversation goes on roughly 20mins back and forth but he clams it will be done by end of weekend. Free advice never pay your mechanic the full amount at once, they never get the work done.(I think he was also smelling of alcohol) Now am a disappointed man, I was supposed to catch up with Ndung'u at thika and discuss some 'shamba' deal but I guess I have to postpone. I grab a bag pack from the hind seat, Yell at the mechanic again(if you don't yell this guys never take you serious) and head for the mall. I have to call her again. Remember the noisy bus I was just say...

The Unborn

The day had began on a higher note, the sun is not fully out yet but the weather is calm, I have just finished taking my breakfast. (Which by the way am very full cant lift a muscle am forced to chill a little longer on the couch). There is nothing better in this world like marrying a good woman(almost said perfect then just remembered ..... You know). Then things get better if she is of good character and looks good physically (forget the crap people say 'beauty is inward'). Let me break it down. She is chocolate in complexion, sightly chubby but not to much someone I can lift.(what's up with this small girls nowadays they all  wanna be skinny.) Perfect shape, everything its where its supposed to be, correct shoe size, good nose structure as well as dental. U know that ka-chich you ogle at when you walking along moi avenue? That's what I have in the house. To add salt to an injury she she can cook. (Dem, what did i do to deserve this). If you haven't noticed...
