My Novel: Chapter one



CHAPTER ONE
WHen the sun was over the head my heart beasts seriously. I didn’t know I would have a crucial moment at that time. I thought to myself what is going to happen today? What am I going to experience today? After this, I remembered what my grant Mum told me when I was nine years that whenever your heart beats frequently, it means you will either experience a difficult situation or you will have a difficult moment (Time) in life.
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.........
