Chapter Four

was amuse with one of the sister’s story of a certain area of a certain country where by the brother were very cruel and doesn’t want their sisters  to get engage in relationship with any boy. If you have to ask yourself, why are these boys behaving in this manner. The story happened in such a way that, the boy had relationship with the sister of the boys who were very strike on the sisters. The boy didn’t much have interest in the relationship but the girl since that was the only chance for her, developed concrete love for the boy such that she couldn’t sleep without seeing the boy. One day the boy went to study abroad and spent three years. The girl didn’t see him for the all of this years but, one day the boy home from the school and; on looking at the boy Mummy, she couldn’t sit in one place-she was as if being burnt from behind. She feel that she should be with the boy all the time but, unfortunately, that day she showed him was the day the boy is leaving for the City. When he travelled, the girl was left in a mass of darkness and confusion.

Since the boy had no interest in her, he tried with his little best not to reach the village because whenever he does, the girl and confused in the mind and always does things in contrary. It was a surprise one morning when we were having a walk with the boy through the village and the girl saw him from distance. She was from fetching water from the well, do you know what happened Mummy; the lay on seeing the boy from a distance throw the  jerry can and ran seriously towards the boy and also kissing him at the same time. I said, “my God! What is this?” I didn’t know the behaviour of the girl when she takes long to look at the boyfriend. Instead of chatting with him, the lady started crying and meandering like rivers on the boy and she doesn’t want to leave the boy not until when the boy comfort her like a baby who doesn’t want to go asleep.

Few days later Mummy, the boy sneaks and travels to a far district in the region. He spent several years and months. The lady was looking for him with tears and seats all over, fortunately, she lend on the young Uncle of the boy who went to the village for a visit. The Uncle didn’t know what was going on with his cousin brother whom they stay together with him in Town. The town is boarded by River Aswa in the East, and Karuma in the West, North of Tanzania with lake such as Lakes: Victoria being the biggest, Kyoga, Albert, George and others. It’s also crossed by equator line. Being crossed by the equator line, it has the source of river Nile which is the biggest river in Africa. With this brief description Mum, I think you can have a view of the country I am talking about.

Let’s continue a little further, the young Uncle unknowingly narrated to the girl where the boy is, he didn’t know that the girl had an intention of following the boy up to town. He drew even the map for the girl if she want to get the boy as the area where the boy is renting and not only that foolishly, he point out even the foot path besides the main road leading to the boy’s house.

After their conversation with the Uncle, the girl set off on the 11^th of June to town to look for the boy as told by the younger Uncle. She thought the boy still Love her. She reached town at 10:00am in the morning and started to use the map drawn by the Uncle. She wasn’t bothered to call the boy using phone so that he is aware of her coming.

Mummy, you know life in town is not a laughing matter especially in terms of feeding and accommodation even though its sometimes not a problem; but I think even if you are superior like Gold, you may be shaken for a minute. On her arrival she asked the neighbour “do my boss recites here?’ neighbour were amused with her words because the boy never had a wife, he was still very young though he looks a responsible person.

The neighbour didn’t refuse to answer her question; they showed the room where the boy was reciting. Eaah Mummy do you know what happened? She didn’t even knock the door; she walked recklessly without thanking the neighbours for showing her the room. She was very blessed because she found the brother of boy preparing Tea and it was almost ready. The brother didn’t even greet her because he knew the reason why she came. He didn’t show up his hatred for her there and then but he was very polite and welcoming.

When she sat for sometimes, she asked, “Where is your brother”? The brother replied, he has gone for work and always comes back late. She didn’t know what kind of work the boy was doing. When she had a glance at his Uniform on the wall, she said to her “I am rich”. She continued and got the photos in the Album on the Table and looked through it with a smiling face of Love.

The brother automatically knew her behaviour. The then asked her, who told you that we are here? She laughs at the top of her voice and stop saying you’re younger Uncle who went for a visit in the village drew for me the map and I followed it, that is how I came to know you are here. That was the time when trouble came; the brother didn’t bother himself to ask her more question because he know her in and out. It was coming to 5:00pm that the boy came back from work............
