,,,,,,,While in the matatu, my phone started vibrating. When I checked it was Daktari, if you still remember the nurse Mercy who we
met when we escorted Mwakideo to hospital (episode 9). I did not pick it because of the noisy
matatu. While on it I remembered Matilda had placed something in my jacket . When I checked
it was an envelope. I returned it. After a short while my phone vibrated again.’Nilikua nakujulia hali. Nikitumai u bukheri wa afya’ It was a text from Mercy. I did not reply, instead I texted Rita to confirm if she was in the house. She did not reply as well. It was around 0730am when I got at home. I decided to call Rita, the only soup in my bean or rather the only bean in my soup. ‘Pole Beb,’ Rita said immediately she picked the call.’Nilienda home abruptly, aunty yangu amekua mgonjwa sana.
Pole Beb
sikukuambia.’ She said. ‘Usiworry dear, Aunty yetu anaendeleaje sasa?’ I inquired. ‘Ako mbaya
sana, ukiniandikia text hata nilikua namuosha. Hata nimetoka nje kupik kol yako…si nimalize
then nikuongeleshe beb?’ ‘Poa beb’ I answered. ‘Mekumis sana, nakupenda sana swtat’ she said.
‘Nakupenda pia darling’ I answered like a gentleman and hanged up.
Since I was going for the 10am service, I decided to wash the clothes I was in and a few others I had dumbed under the bed. Stop frowning your face #Agneezy, I am a man, like all men, I dumb my dirty clothes under the bed. My boychild friends can affirm. I removed the envelope Matilda had placed in my pocket and opened it. It had 5,000 and a letter. It was a love letter. Matilda elaborated her love for me paragraph after the other.
No one would have imagined that cops too would have a hand in proper bedminton,,ahh bedroom or rather just say love affairs,, Her wording ALMOST turned me. Ok to stop beating arround the bush I would easily say her wordings really turned me on, najua hio ndomnataka kuskia. I remembered I had missed a call from Mercy. I removed my phone to call. Unfortunately I was off airtime,,,yani incase huelewi kizungu,,,sikukua na kredo ule mumama wa saf alinishow ile poem yake yaa “you have insufficient balance press one to redeem bonga points press two,,,
I rushed down the staircase and bought 1000 worth of airtime. Matilda had given me enough
money. If she was not lying in her letter, she had also promised to finance me as well help me in
joining the forces as a cadet. I called mercy.
‘Heeeeeeey wee ulipotelea wapi?’ she asked. ‘Niko
Daktari, habari ya masiku?’ I responded. ‘Niko salama,..After a little talk, ‘BTW uliniambia unaishi
Embakasi?’ …yes…
‘ Hehe ningekuja breakfast lakini ukakataa kupik simu’ she joked.I can
differentiate btn woman who is joking and one who is not. I knew she was joking. ‘Hata saa hii
breakfast bado iko wee pitia’ I joked back. ‘Btw nilikam kwa beste wa job wacha nione naeza
pitia’ she replied. I went on with what I had planned to do: washing clothes. I entered the
bathroom and started washing. When I finished I took a shower. As I was smearing myself with
Arimis I text popped up on my phone.’Nikiwa hapa Fedha ni drive na barabara gani ndo nifike
kwako?’ It was Mercy tracing my house. I was surprised. Kwani huyu dem alikua serious. I called
her and directed her accordingly. Minutes later she was at the gate. I went down to pick,,,
