2 days after the Madaraka train was launched, I woke up at 6 am on a Monday morning and called my then boss. Asked for 2 days off. Told her that I was so fatigued and I needed some rest. Permission granded. Mimi huyo, I ubered to the train station. You see I always have ready packed bags. Ready to travel. I bought myself a VIP ticket 5 minutes to train departure and headed to board. Karibu train iniache. I was on top of the world. You know the feeling eh! "Mombasa here I come, eh! Kenyan coast open your arms to receive your daughter " were the thoughts in my small mind. Here I was excited and feeling like a school girl.
I met ‘him’ Mr. White . He was travelling alone and I was travelling alone too. So we were two young loners travellers … We shared the same seat and talked throughout the journey, we had a fantastic moment like we had know each other for years, we took selfies, before we even got to Athi river station. We laughed and laughed. Winked! I love making friends remember. The 4 and half hour train ride made me forget myself. I had a great company for a week just like that.
We started with Haller park, Fort Jesus. Day 2 and 3 sisi hao Malindi, my boss kept on calling and calling. Then boom! Akakula block. I wasn’t going to leave this fun opportunity, you know opportunity knocks once! Isn’t? I needed to travel, to lose myself to the world, day 4 n 5 saw us in Lamu and flew back to Nairobi on Saturday. Sunday sisi hao Nairobi Nairobi park. Safari walk, to a friends house for Lunch.
This feels like a fairly tale eh? Sometimes I doubt myself… if I am normal.
Sunday evening Mr. White has to fly back to Netherlands. I went to the airport to see him off. After he checked in, reality hit Me, I was employed, the following Monday morning I met my dismissal letter with the gateman.
I lost my Job.
