As
time went on, I wasn’t settled in mind, I feel as if malaria wanted to emerged,
I didn’t want to cook. By that time, I used to cook myself because we were only
boys and I was the Youngest almost completing Adolescent stage of Growth and
Development.
If I
have to remember during my adolescent stage, I happened to have a friend of
course and opposite sex from a rich family; unfortunately she has brothers who
doesn’t understand even if you explain what is going on.
The
Mother is tall, slim, and brown in colour. She also has dark hair on her head,
bristly breast when she was brought to join other members of the clan. She
doesn’t like talking much and interacting with people- an introvert in nature.
Even if you do something wrong she will not react on it immediately but, she
will keep on compiling it until it is enough like the magma in the Earth, when
it is not in its molten stage, it
doesn’t react, but when heated, it will explodes leaving behind a lot of
destruction on the surface of the earth hence a mountain is formed. This
process is known as Volcanicity. She talk’s les but full of action order and
command. When somebody narrated to her about our friendship, she kept quiet. I
remember our relationship started when she was in Primary Seven from a certain
school.
Likewise,
the father is tall, somehow fat and dark in colour. The father is very social
and relates freely with people. I remember one time back, he stayed under the
care of my father by renting our house. Issues of girls he doesn’t consider it
but the only thing he say “Do you know the person who impregnated you”? I f
yes, go to him, If I find time I will come and visit you there.
The
reason why the father started developing this heart is that, Most of his
daughters get pregnant and afterwards bring back the kids to him to take care
of them. This made him to behave the way he do.
One
day I had a conversation with him in the evening when the sun was down, I asked
him, why don’t you arrest the boys who usually makes your daughters pregnant?
He replied, According to clan’s customs, once you arrest somebody for
impregnating your daughters, and the boy afterward came out of Jail and refused
to marry the girl, the girl’s future is totally affected and harmed, the girl
will keep on moving up and down she will
not be settle; inotherward, she will not get married to anybody because of we
called “ Kipwola” in Luo, I belief elders knows more than I do.
Or
else, if you force the boy to marry the girl, their children will not survive
(I mean they will die). I asked him why this is so. He replied, this is curse
passed on by our ancestors of which we cannot go by it we are following what
they have put forward.
I
asked him again, what we can do to stop this thing from affecting our youths
today who might not know such kind of happening in life. He said, there is nothing we can do but the
only thing is to kindly request the boy to have her even if without a coin in
order to brighten the future of the family and the children as well. The only
advice I give you boys is never to allow somebody to be arrested because of
your sister and after he will not marry her; better talk with that person so
that he may have her but not arresting that person he concluded.
We
had a long a conversation of which I cannot put them all in this paper.
Furthermore,
I went on to study the brothers and sisters of the girl whom I thought was good
for me. Brothers were five in numbers but three of them were not friendly
because they said their father have money and that they need nothing from other
people especially poor people like us. Their sayings made me stumbled and
confused in mind. I asked myself, why are these three brothers behaving like
this? I failed to answer.
The
two were very good, social and relates freely with people. They don’t segregate
anybody whether poor or rich, blind or not, lemb or not lemb. They were very
good indeed, they understand once something has been brought before them. More
about them will be found in the next chapter of the story.
Relatives
are wealthy and are leaders in military, district and local level. Another
problem with them is that, they don’t understand and they all like actions
whenever a mistake or a fault is made for example, Fight and all sorts of
things.
One
of them only uses orders and commands because he is one of the leaders in the
Defence Force and the one in charge of one Region of a certain Country. His son
took exactly the characteristics and characters of his father and per now is
more than his father in command, If he say No, nobody can forced him.
I took long to understand the menu leading to
the behaviours and life style at cultural levels. I know each one of us came
out of a family of father and mother and our father came out of grant father
and our grant –grant fathers form a Clan. This made me to trace out through the
clan in which they are brought up.........
