  8:23 am.   It's a few days after Christmas, unajua hizo siku zenye uko autopilot tu, waiting for 31st, upige nduru yako safi, or light up fireworks? It's the 30th, you would think nimetulia, at peace ju niko home, wrong! My mum ananipigia msomo on and on. I want to tell her, it's too early for this bana, chill! Najua nikiongea tu hivi, itakuwa a full blown argument, so I let her be. She is talking about stuff like mbona hauna bibi na watoto sahii?  She goes, nini unangoja? Angalia fulani, si mko age moja? Watu age yako wako na boma already! Tangu umalize campus, sijaona pahali hio masomo imekusaidia… She goes on and on chewing me off. In my head niko zile za Get back get back, you don't know me like that, talking a whole lotta shit I ain't trying to hear.  At that point, I even started regretting mbona nilishow up at home, at all, ningekaa kwangu tu. I'm getting pissed with each minute that passes from my mum chewing me off, mara comparing me to my cousins, ma...

Jirani chronicles

 

            So I'm just chilling at my crib, I decided to call my G huwa namuita anko, (don’t ask why, story for another day because that story needs a whole episode on its own), tuonge tupange ma one two. Hata hatujaongea sana, nasikia my door ina gongwa gongwa na vurugu. Na pause kiasi. 


You know that moment where your spirit steps out of your body for a second to peep through the curtain before you do? Yeah, that one. Na hang up call with my G, saa hio nashangaa ni nani huyu ananitafuta na fujo hivi? Naenda kuangalia, alafu nifungue, nijue how it will go down ie kama kutakuwa na throwing of fists. Kuangalia tu hivi, ni three burly men, wamekula chuma wakashiba ka crocodile imemeza wildebeest mzima time huwa zina cross River Mara


Na tense kiasi, but najipiga kifua nilikuambia kama mbaya mbaya! Nafungua mlango nijue venye kutaenda, wananicheki hivi, design wanarudi chini then wako zile za 


“Pole.”




One of them turns to the rest anawaambia 


“aaah si hapa, 

ni juu.”


Then they climb the stairs and proceed to bang on that door of the house on the floor above mine. Design wanagonga ni kama hio mlango imewakosea. They sure bang that door, wakiwa zile za collo (not the jirani's name), najua uko hapo ndani, fungua. Collo (again not jirani's real name) nakusikia uko ndani. Collo (tumeshaestablish it's not jirani’s name), fungua wacha ufala. They bang the door, and it seems with each bang, ni kama wanakuwa more agitated. 


They bang for a while, then decide to call it quits. I hear them swearing wakishuka stairs. They are pissed as hell at Collo ju hakufungua. Niko zile za wasikupate jirani, design wamekutafuta ni kama watakumeza mzima mzima. Their anger is a bit funny, ju si mimi natafutwa. 


Najiambia, nikiwahi tafutwa hivyo, na hio design, na pull off disappearing act moja hatari, Prison Break itafanya a sequel on it, I guarantee you. Najua my G anadhani ni credit ilidie, ndio simu ikakatika, so he'll read hii time after imedrop akuwe zile za kumbe! 


Anyway, 

Letstoriesunfold wishes y'all have

a happy new year!
