BUMPY ROMANTIC RIDES

 

Four years ago,I met a beauty on a Dala shuttle from Nairobi to Kisumu.The driver kept playing those early 2000 RnBs that speaks directly to my soul.After Three hours of elderly deliberation,I gathered courage.If I die, I die trying.

"Hi,my name is Another Kenyan,a knight on a bus"

She said "Hi knight,I am Damsel and you're late"

I threw a "What do you think sperms and lawyers have in common?" I was met with "In every million,only one gets to be human."

I couldn't help but laugh.I'd met my soulmate.Just like Uhuru on Uhuru highway,I was Another Kenyan spinning the Kenyan way.

For the next 3 years,Halsey gave me life.She gave me a reason to live.She gave me devotion and love packed with belief.

The say in the very end something must kill a man.Halsey got married today,and the groom by her side wasn't me.I planned my own death.My own rifle killed me folks.

We spoke last night and I learnt the depth of pain I had caused the love of my life when she asked "did you ever love me?"

We shared three years of sugar,spice and everything nice, at least to me,not knowing I had made her doubt everything in the three years I thought were glorious.

Now today,mama asked about her.She lamented that Halsey hadn't spoken to her in a month,"is everything ok?"

So she was still checking up on my mama even after we'd broken up?

Mama went ahead and insisted it's time I married her." What in the name of Christ are you waiting for?"

How do you tell your mother that you had broken up with the girl she had trusted enough with her next generation?

I called Halsey before she walked down the aisle because boy, haven't I suffered enough?

"Please Jaber,one more chance osiep chunya." This time I meant it.

I must have been too late.The love of my life said "I gave you three years,you wouldn't change.What makes you think it will happen this time?"

The love I met on the streets,left me lamenting about love on my sheets.

Eminem literally asked "Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?Not the expression,no, literally give an arm for.When they know they are your heart and you are their armor.But what happens when karma,turns right around and bites you?"
