The Estate WhatsApp did it again.

Ebu songa karibu.

Back story...

Last year around August, a newly wed couple move into number 157. But it had lots of issues and the tenant was actually kicked out.

Luckily, the guys at Number 178 moved out in September so Mr. & Mrs took 178.

Man this couple is a real couple.

Hii dunia hakuna mapenzi moto kama ya Mluhya na Mjaluo. Wewewe... Hawa watu wawili wamependana kupendana. From the first day they checked in...

Wanatoka pamoja, wanarudi pamoja, wanangojeana kwa gate, wanasindikizana, as in for real for real.

Imagine they even walk in the estate hand in hand, wakienda kununua mayai kwa kiosk. There's a day they were even a topic on WhatsApp ati 'Can you relax, we have children in the Estate.'

Ata some lady even confronted them, akawashow 'Hiyo mchezo yenu mtairudisha huko Innercore.'

But one of their signature things apart from romantic walks is they wash their cars together on Sunday Morning. With official car washing attire. Mdem mhala with ze hotpents.
Then they even rushiana maji & soap, laughing.

Mpaka wive wa Esto wanauliza nini mbaya na sisi wengine.

PS: They both drive Mercs. Because.

So yesterday, because the country was on lockdown and people didn't know what to do, this lady decided to take a walk. Akipita hapo nje ya 178, water pours on her rubber shoes. The ones that Jang'os call Lada.

This woman flipped bana on them.

Kidogo it's a fracas in the estate. Guys coming out but watching from a distance.

Mimi kama #KOT's Ambassador to the Estate, nikaenda kujiona. Aki it was a small thing.

Couple apologizes, but lady is still furious. She does not accept. She walks off. Guys continue washing cars.

Sisi tukaenda makwetu, because there was nothing there.

One hour later. BOOM. Kwa WhatsApp.

The Lady: I'd like to sincerely thank our neighbors in Hse No 178 in Phase Two for spoiling my brand new shows. And to let them know I threw them into their compound. They can keep them.

My friend.

256 Naye: It's really a high time we show respect to people who've lived longer than others in our community.

Mr. 178: We are really sorry, it wasn't our intention. Kindly receive our apologies.

The Lady: I want my shoes brand new.

Mrs. 178: Your shoes are not new.

So Mrs. 178 posts the shoes on the group.

Those shoes... Wah!

'Are these shoes new?'

108: Uliza kiatu.

256: (Replies to 108) You don't have to respond to everything.

108: Those shoes are not new. If you ask me.

256: So wewe ndio kiatu tukuulize?

108: Bye.

So anyway, Mr. 178 apologizes for the inconvenience and promises to buy new shoes on Monday. Today.

Mrs. 178 says no new shoes are being bought.

256 says she wants to meet them and The Walking Lady at their house to discuss the matter. Mrs. 178 says she is not available to meet

256 asks why?

Mrs. 178 says Social Distancing.

The Lady: Na sisi tumeenda kanisa tumerudi unasema nini?

Mrs. 178: You two can meet and then you can call me and tell me what you want to tell me.

Mr. 178: Let me call you on phone.

256: Let's talk face to face.

Mrs. 178: NO!

Now. We do not know exactly what cut, but earlier today, The Lady posts on the group:

Thank you very much, 'Mr. 178' for the new shoes. They are really beautiful.

Mrs. 178: Ati new shoes.

The Lady: Yes.

And then proceeds to post some new ladas in the group still in their box.

The Lady: You have a wonderful man.

Mrs. 178: You are a con woman. I pray your leg breaks in those shoes.

Sasa ndio Esto imewaka. 256 is preaching a sermon to the young ladies & wives in the group on how to have a gentle spirit and listen to their husbands. And respect elders.

Meanwhile Mr. 178 bado yuko kwa mercedes anangoja kufunguliwa mlango aingie home. Na Mrs. 178 ameleft group.

256's Ozbend is moving a motion to fine people who remove people from groups or people who just leave. 1000 per lefting or leftishaing people.

256: That is unnecessary.

UPDATE:

Ni kama 256, Ozbend and some other guys wameenda kutetea Mr. 178 at least aingie home.

We can hear conversation but it is mostly 256 talking.

I am going to pretend I am jogging.

Guys... Imagine Mr. 178 ameenda kwa The Lady na akachukua zile viatu mpya, akampatia zile zake original mpya.

He has been allowed into the house.

The Lady posts and says Mrs. 178 anajipendekeza na hiyo roho yake chafu.

256 amesema they stick with the new agreement.

Oiiii... Mrs. 178 amerudishwa kwa group.

It is so quiet ni kama group iko na watu watatu tu.

Mrs. 178 is tying...

Mrs. 178: As agreed, find your old (old is in caps) shoes at the security gate anytime from the next 10 minutes. You are lucky they have been washed.

And remember, silence is not weakness.

Mr. 178 anapeleka viatu kwa gate.

Weweeee... Hii ni walk of shame my guys. Kichwa chini.

Hii Estate usitafute drama, drama itakutafuta.

The Lady amesema afadhali atembee mguu tupu but she will not wear the old shoes.

KAAAIIII....

Mrs. 178: Jibambe shosh!

Leo hatulali!

256: Young lady, please behave yourself. We have spoken and this thing is over. Like I have promised, I will handle it.

Mrs. 178: Kila mtu afagie kwake.

256: Even me?

Mrs. 178: Even you.

108: (Reply to Mrs. 178) 😮😮😮 Tread carefully madam.

Mrs. 178: And you are who again?

256: This one lives in the SQ of Hse No. 108. Usijishughulishe na yeye.

Mrs. 178: Hallo 108?

108: Hi. Jichunge na watu kwa hii mtaa.

256: Let me not hear anything else about this. We talk tomorrow. Goodnight.

The Lady: Goodnight.

Mrs. 178: Goodnight Shosh.

Me: Aki viatu tu?
