Today in the mat i remembered a guy i sat next to a couple of months ago - i live in a place where everybody knows everybody and everybody knows who goes to town on a daily basis.. So yes - i saw him in the mat again today in the same jolly mood he was in and decided i must share his story with those who never read it at that time. Enjoy your Wednesday.. Today in the mat somebody was OBVIOUSLY in a good mood and i was sitting next to him. I got in and he greeted me like he had known me since birth - or maybe he is my twin in another life - OK maybe not.. am sure i dont look like THAT.. so anyway, he almost hugs me and was keen to ask how i have been... am thinking been???? since??? aish.. i was speechless. so i answered the usual Kenyan cliche (giggle) NIKO TU..(giggle) and i put on my earphones ready to do my routine study, listen to music and sleep... (i live far so sleeping in the mat is not something to JUDGE me about)..little did i know that this was just the beginning of a very interesting ride... just as i got lost in relax mode, i felt a sudden jab right in my rib.. i can almost promise you that my heart shook.. woi.. the pain made my fingers automatically dial 911 only for that safaricom woman to tell me that my call cannot be completed as dialed.. anyway, i gathered strength and turned to find out what this guy was poking me for.. he was obviously looking at me with this huge grin and saying something in the process. i took my earphones off... 32 million he said.. i was lost. why was he telling me 32 million?? i asked him what that was all about and his answer almost made me wish i had a shell - tortoise style.. Kingangi amesema tuseme 32 million i listened to the radio - classic 105.. He was giving a story about how some money was stolen in Coast. Just then, they played Fall in Love by DBanj (how do i know all this??) the guy was all hyper and in a party mood.. dancing his head off its socket, clapping, snapping his fingers and he was singing along too... i figured either hes in love, or he has the 32 million, OR BOTH - i would dance in a mat too...! for real.. so i move to the edge to give him all the space he needs.. clearly it wasnt enough..! i tried to focus on my me time but realized it wasnt going to happen today. this guy was either high on something cheap, or something cheap was high in him - or both. i wondered what would calm him down. the answer came even before i asked. THE PROPOSED MARRIAGE BILL. as the discussion was introduced by Main and he said what the bill entails, this young man went numb, his words making me smile kwisha, kwisha sisi... tumeisha.. waaaah... - i am now very interested to know what that bill entails and so today information is my new best friend.. Stay informed..!
