Nakumbuka back in the day nilikuwa boss wa hii game estate mzima. Tulikuwa tukiguza ya kulipana. Ukishindwa unapeana bano. Kila mtu alikuwa na bano kama 10 kwa mfuko. Siku moja tuliguza hiyo game hadi tukiwa watu sita. Nilipita na kila mtu nikawa na bano over 40 kwa jacket na zingine kwa mfuko.
Final sasa ilikuwa mimi na bully wa estate na pia huyo nikamchapa sweep nikaokota bano yake ya mwisho. Hehe… Mabeste wangu hawakuwa wanaamini nimewachota bano zote. Kuniangalia tu kama illuminati.
Ujinga sasa estate bully akaniambia ati niwaonyeshe zile bano nimechukuwa ni ngapi. Kama fala nikachota handful mzima kwa jacket nikawaonyesha. Wacha bully achape mkono yangu bano zikafly everywhere. Mabeste wangu matraitors wakaziokota mbio mbio wakatoroka kama nyenje/cockroach zimeona light.
That is the first day I was betrayed by a friend. Nililia but atleast nilibakia na bano 18+…:(:(:(:(
