TROUBLE FOR MIRIAM

You can recall that I had to leave the hotel in a rush after Tom called me with an emergency. I met up with him at the boda boda stage where  he was at his usual job of selling porridge and some snacks to the riders. The drill was short and simple. He handed me a pink note which I instantly recognized as Doris'. 
I sensed that all was not well. I opened the note and immediately, sweat formed in my back despite the biting cold. She wrote:
Sasa sweetz,
Hope ur good. As alwayz, school is boring and I'm really missing u. I need a favour from you dia, Its about Miriam. She has bin sick for a while ever since dat day. I suspect that she's PG. Matron will be conducting tests next week n she's scared. Call 07***** and tell Martin wa Chemist akuje kesho huku. Its really urgent.
PS- Sitakam home 1/2T. But i'll find a way for us to meet.
Love you big..
Doris.

I owe her one

Phew! At least she wasn't the one with the pregnancy fears. If she was then It better not be mine. No way! I am not ready to cater for a child nor its mother. With my meagre earnings in this hellish economy? No way. I also use protection as a precaution too.
Poor Miriam. How am I supposed to call Martin the chemist guy to inform him of the happenings.I don't even know him well. But for the love of my life, I will try. I also owe Miriam some gratitude too. Were it not for her evil scheme to sneak out of school, I wouldn't have sampled the warmth of Doris. She also played a vital role when I was trying to woo her back in February when she accompanied Doris to my work place.
Tom must have gone for a while before coming back to give me a cup of porridge. I took it mindful that it would be difficult to enjoy such a delicacy going further into the month.

I have to help her out.

"Doris ako poa?"
"Yeah. Ni Miriam."
"Martin ako in big trouble."
"Maybe. But I have to tell him about this."
Tom agreed to inform Martin about the trip to Londiani where his girlfriend was. I would have to do all I can to help her out. I cannot afford to abandon Miriam at this point and stage.
