Schools have been holding prayer rallies at this time of the month. It is the visible legacy of Matiangi who had decreed this way some time back. Even in the current administration of Amina is not in a hurry to suspend this move. With this in mind, I joined the rest of other parents to Londiani Girls Academy to pray for the girls to have some humble and ample time during the KCSE 2018 exams.
But there was trouble.
Profiled as a mugger
At the gate, I was blocked from accessing the place since I couldn't prove to the gate men that I was related to Doris and Miriam. It seems that they were very suspicious of my dreadlocks. Even the attempts made by Tom to plead on my behalf. They would have none of it."Enda utoe hizo nywele kwanza."
"Nyinyi ndio mnaibia watu masimu huko town. Tunawajua."
I had been profiled as a mugger by the illiterate gate people. I gave up and waited at the car for Tom. I didn't leave before throwing some choice insults at them. I even promised to them that should my friends find them in town, they would receive a thrashing.
I only hope that they don't get mugged because if they did, I will be in some serious trouble!
I need a fresh retouch
But opportunity came at the hour when the rains started and some of the parents got in without being searched. I joined in the crowd and as a result, I got rained on. So I will need to visit the salon to get a fresh retouch."Babe!" It was Doris. She hugged me despite the drenched state I was in. Remember the Croatian President at the WC Final?
"Sasa Rastaman?" Miriam gave a handshake but when Doris insisted, she hugged me quickly before withdrawing to her original position.
We had a nice time thereafter though it felt odd that I had slept with the two girls. Trouble is that one knows and the other doesn't.
That should also remain the same way.
