Just in case

 As I'm writing this, I'm just from listening to a song called just in case ( I kind of forgot the artists name) then ikavunja the creative block nilikuwa nayo kama venye that squirrel huwa inavunja that acorn imekuwa ikichase for the longest time ever (Kama hauget, go watch Ice Age). 

Anyway, najua mmeona hii kwa most action or horror movie or series. Kuna ngori fulani in the horizon imetokea, there's a slim chance of the protagonist and their group or person they are with to survive. Tunaonyeshwa scene ya the protagonist akiwa na touching moment yake with the loved ones or someone close. Alafu utapata most times hio scene hukuwa na some emotional music playing in the background. 

Kind of last moments kind of vibe because they don't know if they'll survive whatever lies ahead of them. It's a very heartfelt moment before they charge off to deal with whatever shit has been thrown their way. An apocalypse of zombies or monsters, stupid people with guns, you name it etc. 

Where was I? 

Aaah, yes most people think just in case moments ni zile times kuna ngori inafaa kuwa handled with the need to sacrifice yourself to the danger you're going to face if need be on the plate, but ask yourself this, what if it's different yenye itaturn your life from being shitty ikuwe fity? 

See the rhyming I did there? 

Yaani hii just in case moment inataka ukuwe na audacity ingine off the roof, na high energy ka Rico (incase you don't know, the one penguin from Penguins of Madagascar, who gets all kinds of weapons from inside him), akifeel kama kuna some vayolence needed. 

I have my just in case moment. Back then, many moons ago, I used to try my luck with gambling. 

(To make it absolutely clear, 

I ain't endorsing or promoting gambling, just a story.) 

Kuna hii siku niko na my Gs tumeshinda the whole Thursday and Friday tukianalyze kila game ilikuwa ichezwe during the coming weekend before tuwekelee stake. What made us hopeful ni tulikuwa na huyu G, ni ka alikuwa anakuwa whispered to na ma ancestors wake, how the future will unfold. Zile times amewekelea, tukiwa tumepiga pause from hii mambo ya kubet, anagonga mhindi kabsaa. Winnings bana, anakuonesha, unafeel ku turn back time, uwekelee ufeel bango bie pia. 

Sisi hao tumechambua bet one last time, before tumewekelea bet na punch. Betslip imeiva, tuna angalia potential winnings sisi hao tumeanza kukaza bet iive. Games za kwanza ikakuwa nywee ikaingia, za kati kati zikatupea wasi wasi kidogo roho zisimame ka nganya pale stage, lakini zikaingia pia. Wacha ya mwisho ifike, imeenda vizuri hadi tuko ka Bien, Refa puliza kipenga! 

Mimi hata nilikuwa nimenza kupangia hio dooh, nitafanya one two three, mambo ikuwe shwari. Wacha game dakika ya 89 ichomeke. Tulikuwa zile za 

Eloi Eloi, mhindi namna gani? 

Umewahi feel all emotions zimekuhit at once? Pa! Kama kulimwa koffi unexpectedly? I can't speak for the others, ju at the time, kila mtu alikuwa kwake akingoja bet iive, tutokee, lakini hivyo ndivyo nilisikia.
