                   It's in the early evening; I'm somewhere chilling with my bro tunaongea ma one two three za life, biz na gigs, ju pahali life imefika sahii hauwezi afford kukaa isolated, utaumia. There's music playing, rhumba and some zilizopendwa.  After a while, my G hops on a call, and I start doing something on my phone; I think I was trying to land a client that I found, trying to make that shilling come home. You know what the Wahengas would say if they were in this time and age? Usipokaa sharp, shillingi haupati ng’o! The music is playing, but it's background noise, something to fill the silence. Time passes, nikiwa hapo chatting na client, ironing out details, my G akiwa bado kwa call. After a while naskia this song. I don't think I caught the name, but the lyrics are a bit catchy, na haijatoka kwa kichwa. Walikufananisha na Eliya Walikufananisha na Musa I have heard this song before; in my mind niko zile za hii nilisikia...

Take me back 2

Continued from Take me back

             Just like that, my brain replays that crazy and wild night, back then before love ilinionesha shege kweli  kweli, nilikuwa na my then gal (Some how I'd forgotten all about her), my Boyz and their women at a a certain club along Kiambu road, sikumbuki ni gani. 


A couple of guys clearly drunk had bumped into my gal and her group while she was coming from the washrooms accompanied by her group (my Boyz women's).


( To this very day, I have never grasped why women go to the washrooms in groups), 


After being told to watch where they are going by my gal, this guys, instead of apologizing, they became arrogant. They started raining vulgar insults on my gal and her group (my Boyz women's). 






Mimi niko somewhere just sipping my drinks while observing the fruckus. I locked eyes with my gal at some point during my observation, saw all the balancing tears that were threatening to spill from her eyes, and knew she was about to cry, that's when I went full territorial mode. 


Hawakujua venye nilifika place walikuwa, waliona tu niko hapo. I told them to apologize, then they started talking shit. The guys wao ni kuongea matope tu, hawanotice on my end, hasira ni kupanda inapanda, wao wanaongea tu fwaaa! I think they saw they were five against one (me) and in their minds, they were like 


huyu jamaa hawezi tufanyia kitu. 


Unfortunately for them, they forgot one important thing, that there is only so much a man can take, before he snaps and shit goes berserk welcoming chaos like Odin welcoming vikings who had died in his name in battle, in Valhalla 


Niliona hapa venye kunaendelea ni kama tunaendelea kukoseana heshima, na haifai hivyo kabsaa! And as they continued talking shit, walistukia tu Pap! Mmoja wao ngumi yangu imeconnect na uso yake na uzito, hadi jamaa akastagger back. 


My boyz kucheki venye kumeenda, venye ni wao five against one (me), na naweza choka pia mimi nigeuziwe nilimwe ka burukenge, wakaamua pia wao waingie wastretch mikono yao kidogo and that's when all shit broke loose. Bouncers kujaribu kuingilia ndio wastop vita, walijipata pia wameguzwa guzwa bila kutaka. 


I sigh, put the phone down alafu naambia Tommy hata sikumbuki venye tulitoka hio scene, na hata venye tulitoka in one piece ni maajabu. Tommy laughs for a bit, akinikumbusha hio usiku, venye my gal alikuwa amenishikilia ka dhambi, then we toasted to more adventures na clients tulikuwa nao  just an hour ago, wasiingie mitini.
