…after rain ipungue nikatoka nikaacha njiru the fisi anatupa ma lines to this yellow yellow as he listens the his favourite 1 man guitarist. The money we had ilikuwa imeisha so the only option left was barter trade at the hotel. Debe ya mahindi then he cooks whatever we want to eat, sana sana kuku kienyeji na ugali.
I stayed for long waiting for kuku ichinjwe na ipikwe coz ni order and started the journey back kukiwa na giza.
On reaching the truck nakuta wamebuy kibuyu ya local brew, karofo or muratina wamepanda huko nyuma kwa truck just drinking themselves silly. He sees me and tells me to gawa the food niwaachie share yao watakulia huko nyuma coz we can’t all fit mbele.
Once i had my meal mi nikalala. Hehehehe…Usiku naamshwa na screams za “Asi, asi, ni vau, ni vau, osa osa kiveti cha mukamba”. The ka truck is swinging from side to side kama seesaw na kamejaa mahindi. Went on for a while nikaamua niende nikajionee. We we! Kuchungulia, nakuta momo imeinua miguu yote hadi inagusa zile chuma za juu za body ya truck na Njiru saa hiyo amedrill momo utafikiria anatafuta oil turkana. Stood there perplexed it being the first time i ever saw mnyanduano live.
Surprisingly the next day the rain stopped we managed to geuza the truck bila shida yeyote and went back to Wote and used the machakos route hadi nairobi.
Met njiru jana, he retired a few years back n had come to visit me at my office, alinikumbusha hiyo story tukacheka yetu yote. Up to today he believes the momo was a jini.
Mtoto wa Njiru ako 18yrs. Kuna talker hapa kutoka Wote na hajui baba yake?
The njiru in my hekaya isn’t from Wote but Runyenjes.
Yellow yellow?
Don’t know where from…was in class 7 then n wouldn’t care anyway she just appeared as we chilled in the truck waiting for rain ipungue
Wewe @maasai 101 you do the real Maasai a grave an injustice na ujinga wako. Can you not get the gist of @wheelz comment?
@wheelz mi naona kama ni @vuja de ek…
kweli mimi ni fala…hehehe nimeelewa
mlichota mahindi kama kunanyesha, njiru wakaenda kunyanduana kama kunanyesha, ukaenda kuchungulia kama kunanyesha coz according to you mvua ili stop the following day. alafu kukakauka instantly mkageuza lorry na mkaenda. masai take time to analyze and prepare and you will be as good as @kush yule mnono yule mnono
frying squad punguza fombe
tukichota mahindi there was no rain, it started on ur way back then wakinyanduana there was rain bt wako ndani ya covered truck. Mimi nilinyeshewa kama nachungulia
hooo

Hehe!ati jini
Cursed is he who reads a hekaya with a magnifying glass, for he shall never free his imagination.
