This a story of Maina and Jakabuda. Maina had just dropped out of college due to unknown reasons. He was an ambitious young guy very smart talkative a know it all, master of everything. He started working as a taxi driver and due to his nature he became very popular with customers. Being famous in the taxi business in those days meant that your daily income itakuuwa juu hence pia mwenye gari atafurahia…
Jakabuda naye ndo huo amegraduate with his degrees and secures a job with the government. Being a civil servant Jakabuda had access to loans and allowances so he went ahead and borrowed a Toyota 110 from bank ilihari hajui hata kuendesha gari…he had to get someone to drive him to and from work other times anaiwacha tu anapanda ma3.
Wakiwa tu pale nyama villa one weekend downing his tuskers with friends akapatana na huyu dereva shupavu wa taxi…Maina hakuwa anakaa na gari moja becoz he was famous and on high demand. Wakaskizana Maina atakuwa anadrop Jakabuda job alafu anaenda kutega na gari…it was a win win business strategy for Jakabuda coz aliona amepata driver at the same time gari itakuwa inamletea kakitu…On the other hand,Maina felt it’s a good idea coz no one would be there to supervise him.
Despite some small tumashida ya hapa na pale they continued working together,became close friends hadi anaachiwa gari anaenda nayo kwake. But maich had some other thoughts, he had been busy planning something chini ya maji…
One day Maina akamsho acha afike shagaz for a weekend he would be back on Sunday night…and that was the last time Jakabuda saw his Toyota 110…
Maina played stupid hajui hio ni nini hajawai ona Jakabuda ata hajui nani huo na yeye ni students even his parents could prove it. Wamekuwa wakimtumia college funds kila mw3zi.
My friend Jakabuda acha asumbuke gari haikuwa na ata tracking there was no document that could prove that alipatia maina gari .so far kila mtu alikua akijua gari niya Maina…aaai Jakabuda akaweka maina ndani. Siku ya kesi maina akakana mashtaka na akatupwa ndani for 2years for lack of enough proof. Gari is missing in action na Maina ako jela sasa. After 2yrs Maina ndo huyu tena amerudi mtaani akiona Jakabuda anakula kona…
Akaanza kumcheka akimchongoa Jakabuda akaturn from a dear friend to worst enemy kila time wakipatana wanarukiana na mangumi…
At last Maina akaenda kwa ocs akapewa restraining order Jakabuda hakuwai mkaribia tena.
Sasa hapo ndio nikaulizia story behind hawa watu wawili ni nini .na ndio hii hapa sasa nimewapatia .Maina aliforge document na akauza gari ya Jakabuda akafungwa jela 2yrs akatoka akiwa na pesa hagusiki…
Moral of the story Maina will always outsmart Jakabuda …
