I know at one time umejipata umefanya kitu ya kifala only to realise later umegongesha program ya maana bila ya kujua. Nikiwa mdogo about 11 years old thats exactly what happened. Ile kuboeka kukaa mtaani nikaamua kuenda mwenda.
Nilijipata nmefika kwa uncle fulani and found nobody at home but the door was not locked. Nikaingia ndani vizuri and after kuitana without a response nikaamua kutuliza nione kama watakuom. After waiting for a while bila mtu kuonekana I decided to keep myself busy. First I went to the kitchen nikapata chai baridi kwa birika na slice kadhaa za mkate nikajiwekelea ‘breakfast’ mzuri. Alafu nikafunikia juice ya treetop vikombe mbili and mind you hata hio treetop haikuwa imefunguliwa ni mimi niliiopen. Dont know what I was thinking then.
Nikarudi nikatulia kwa sofa. Kidogo kucheki cheki nikajipata kwa bedroom and with no bad intention I started going through the wardrobe drawers one by one looking for nothing in particular. In one of the coats kwa hanger I felt something nikaamua kucheki. I pulled out this brown folded bahasha na kucheki ndani nikapata alot of money (by then I hadn’t seen chapa mob hivo) and without a second thought nikachota zote. Went back home nikainua mattress nkazirusha hapo chini after kuchota soo kadhaa za kuenda kupepea. After kujibamba na crew nlirudi nkalala bila kuongea na mtu.
Kesho yake morning nazama pale nichukue atleast ka soo ka kupepea napata hakuna kitu. Kuchek vizuri hakuna. Na sahio siwes ulisa mtu. Seems like my elder cousin who was also a wrong number alipata hizo chapa akakula nazo kona. He was smart enough to cover his tracks unlike me. I was the only suspect juu unfortunately a neighbour saw me enter the house and after I left no one else did until uncle discovered his money was missing. Blunder nilifanya ni kurudi home kuchota maboy ka wote na kuwapeleka kula chipo alafu nikawalipia wote kuingia kuona video which was the in thing then. Madha pia alipewa hio story ya vyenye kijana wake alionekana pale kwa chipo akijilea na maboy wake, so hapo singejitoa.
Nikahepa kama wiki mbili hivi. Kurudi home thinking story imeisha, nilishikwa nikapepelekwa kwa chief camp nitolewe u.kihii kwa kichwa. Ile vita ma AP wa chief walinipea ilikuwa noma mpaka nlikuwa naona AP ametulia nakula kona. Kumbe I had taken money which was meant for the dowry payment since my said uncle was to visit his inlaws the following weekend. In the process niligongesha ruracio ya wenyewe. They now had to start all over again.
