KAMAA'S DIARIES
THIKA: PART 1
Ajez wazito… it’s been long since I last posted but today my mind went for a flashback to the year 2019, Jan hivo…
I remember nilikuwa in my barbershop nikinyoa watoi…ilikuwa back to school after midterm ya kwanza so wera ilikuwa mob.
In that process there comes a certain ninja called Kim. Kim is that kind of guy who can sell u anything, ni broker wa mahustler, ukitaka stove anajua mani anauza… ukidai kunyanyua bottom bro-code applies he can rent you his kaself confused room...
So mraiya tells me kuna beste yake ako na kaissue flani na anadai kasoft loan au auze kameko na woofer. Me am like “Kim unajua sipendi hizo biz tangu Mustafaa ashikwe na gate ya wenyewe imeng'olewa, alafu hiyo meko na woofer anadaisha ngapi?” I ask pretending sitaki hizo biz.
“Thao mbili, meko ya 6kg ya Pro Gas na woofer ndogo” he says.
Am like this deal sounds sweet. "Mshow nitampa 1700," I bargain.
“K**aa fikisha 2k, mimi nikule hata k**a ni rwabe,” he insisted.
Finally we reach to a conclusion, 1860. Sikujua 60 bob ni za nini... And off he goes promising to return with the merchandise, namlipa deposit ya thao, balance ni akifikisha bidhaa ile njaro ya ile movie ya Transporter.
Kitu 7pm Kim anafikisha mali , meko ni complete hata uko na uchafu ya ugali. But woofer haina external speaker moja but nampatia the balance n it’s deal done.
Bidhaa narusha kwa store narudi job.
The following day on a Monday, nakumbuka sana. Kwa kioo ya kinyozi nacheki morio wangu Kim amefunganishwa pingu na kajamaa flani hukula miraa sana huitwa Bayano, kalidropia Form 2, ni kamugodi kabaya sana.
The AP policemen nawajua wote wawili Muchiri na Senior. They point at my kinyozi. Am like "kwisha mimi." I think of running but sina nguvu.
Kim anawekelewa nyahunyo mbili anasema ni mimi aliuzia woofer na meko. Kusikia hivyo naruka vile matop huruka from one bottom to another... narukia Kim na teke pretending vile nimekasirika kuharibiwa jina.
Kim anahepa teke yangu inalima, Bayano kwa tumbo.
Kushtukia naskia nyahunyo mbili moto kwa mgongo, manzee hawa majegee sijui walisomea nini pale Kiganjo. Senior ananiwekelea mbili hot alafu Muchiri ananifinya mbavu karibu angowee zote, amesahau Adam alipea Eve akabaki na kumi na kitu...
“K**aa ongea tu ukweli, si nilikuletea jana usiku ukazirusha kwa store?” Kim shouts.
Already we have created an afro cinema happy kwa center, a crowd of onlookers has started gathering. Kumbe anyone can be a thief achomwe na tyre woooiiiiiiiiiii.
“Fungua store,” Muchiri commands.
“Si basi muniwachilie nichukue keys,” I beg him.
He leaves me then follows me inside the shop, store ni mlango ya next room. I open the store and evidence is all there... meko na woofer...
"Bayano kuja hapa, hizi vitu unazijua?" Senior asks him alafu anamnyeshea a very heavy slap hadi anaona stars.
"Eeeeh nazijua, ndizo nilibeba kutoka home nikapea Kim aziuze," Bayano says.
“Hivyo wewe K**aa ndiye hununua stolen goods eeeeeeeeeeh?” Senior replies then knocks me kwa kisogo na matako ya G3, special machine gun. Sijui more about guns but hiyo bunduki ilikuwa ile mrefu, lemmi not describe the gun nisitafutwe nipeane hiyo mucene napeana hapa.
Continues.
