So...

Mrs. 178 set up a WhatsApp group last week to organise a surprise house warming for 108 who moved into a main house.

[PS: 108 will forever be 108. Ata aende wapi.]

Anywho, sguys jitolea what they bring ama cash pledges.

Mrs. 256 and a few others are not in this group.
On Tuesday, Mrs. 256 is added to the group.

😭😭😭

And I had said huyo Mama asiingizwe. Hawakuniskia. Kiburi tu.

She says she wants to be in charge of the women delegation, alafu she says she has a special surprise for the young man.

She also says she wants to be treasurer.
Context:

It is a tradition, (not a standing order) that if you move into the Esto, the committee organizes a special welcome / Doulos kinda orientation.

Usually a few people will visit younas soon as you move in. Alafu on the last Sunday of the month, people come with food.
However, this tradition is observed mostly for families. Hence initial visit.

If you are single, then the first visit is to pima you and decide how to go about it. They can send a package, or a small shopping etc.

It is mostly just a welcome and to embrace the new member of us.
Lakini there is an exception to this rule. People who come to live in SQs are on their own.

No visit.
No lunch.
No package.
No laughing with them.

In fact, people here someone let out their SQ and they cringe. Like why add extra people here.

That's why SQ-arians upashwa 24/7.
Back last week:

Mrs. 178 says 108's case is special. And because of that, it should be handled chini ya maji.

So she mobilises guys and forms a group.

Alafu kimama kingine kimbenye goes and tells 256 what's going on.

She insists she has to be there.

On Tuesday she is added.
On Wednesday she says a few people should be added so that they can 'give our son a very good welcome.' By end of day Wednesday, almost the whole Esto is in a new WhatsApp group, save for 108 & SQ peeps.

But chini ya maji we want 256 out.

Stay with me... It's about to go down.
Haya.

So this women and her friends draw up a budget.

A budget.

A BUDGET.

As in they sat down and decided to so a budget, and said, instead of doing the usual, and since we know the boy has been suffering, we buy household things for him.

Of course this is extremely off.
They insist.

Jana 256 asks for a financial report on their budget.

Mrs. 178: We did not agree that is the way to go.
256: We sat down and agreed.
Mrs. 178: That is not the purpose of this group.
256: He needs things like a bed.
Mrs. 178: Surely he wasn't sleeping on the floor.
256: Well, only you would know that.

Me: 😯😲😯

Mrs. 178: Excuse me. And how would you know he needs a bed?

256: I am a mother.

Mrs. 178: [To the group] Guys, this group was not formed for fights. It was formed to welcome 108 as a member. We will do what has always been done.
And then BAM.

Mrs. 178 adds the indomitable Mama Tuyu.

She does not even say hi. She just starts, [@ Mrs. 178?] Ati amesema nini, babe?

All this Jana. And the house warming is on 27th.

Mama Tuyu: Excuse me, niambie huyo Mama amesema nini?

Group calms down kapsaa. No talking.
So today, 256 has some guests. So she took her red Mercedes, and parked it in front of 108's house.

PS: 108 doesn't know there is chaos on another group.

He takes a photo of the car and posts it in the group saying, 'Can the owner of this car please remove it from my parking.
So guys laugh and make comments.

After laughing be says, for real though, [@]Mrs 256, please remove your car, I need to use the parking.

256: Wait.

2 Hours Later.

Man's apparently went to knock at the door to ask 256 to move.

256 akamwambia anaenda.

One hour ingine.
Msee akaitisha parking yake na nguvu.

256: You don't even have a car, you want to park your shoes?

108: Even if I want to sleep there on the floor, what is it to you. Please remove your pick up from my parking.

[Oh, the wine red Mercedes was nicknamed Pick Up. A long story.]
256: You see people, I have been telling you. The young man has been sleeping on the floor.

Everyone: 🙆‍♂️😯😔

108: Who have you been telling?

256: These people want to buy you snacks when you do not have a bed.

108: Huh?

256: We are planning to get somethings for your house.
And then she goes on and on and on about the whole plan.

108 just went silent.

Mrs. 178 akachuja 256 kwa ile group ya house warming and then she said she will go talk to 108.

So now 108 said he doesn't want snacks, na kama anachangiwa pesa yeye ndio treasurer.

The bash is on.

The Swindlers - Coming Soon.
.
11:30pm.

This girlie opens the door of her apartment and locks it behind her. But there is some uneasiness.

Like someone else is in there. She rushes to her daughter's room, finds her asleep. Just like she left her an hour ago.
Phewx.

But she's still scared. Very scared for someone who has walked from Tamasha to Rose Avenue past 10pm.

She goes into her bedroom, gets under her blanket and whispers a prayer.

Lights off.

Kidogo, she someone breath out sloowly.

She freezes.

Her heart is in her tummy.
Her duvet is lifted slowly. That someone slides into her bed. He smells like half a man. She jumps off on the bed for the lights, but bumps into another man, who grabs her by the neck, lifts her and pins her back into her bed.

The first guy chuckles.

She begs 'Please, please.'

Guys.

The guys at house 147 ordered at about 2pm lunch and a mzinga, but it was delivered to house number 47.

Imagine watu wa 47 wamesema walidhani wametumiwa care package with an 'anonymous' person.

Wamemaliza chakula yiote, na mzinga ishafunguliwa.

Leo ni leo. Kitaeleweka.
The guys at 47 have offered to cook for 147.

147 guys are maaaad. Naskia kuwafungulia paybill gofundme aki.
The guys at 147 are crying because hiyo food walikuwa wamechangisha.

Now they want either their money ama watu wa 47 wazae hiyo delivery pap.

Wanaongea na machungu aki.

An Old Poem.
.
If we must ever have to write each other, it must be poems.
You must write in short sentences, using catchy phrases.
It must be in at most three verses that stand alone, but that find much deeper meaning in each other.
Nothing more than a page. Maybe slightly more.
If you should ever write me a poem, it should take my whole being into it. My mind, my heart, my body and my strength.
It must not have my name, but whoever reads it must know it is me.

It must be short and sweet, it doesn't matter how much rage is there. Sweet rage even.
It must be so discrete, not open to everyone, that someone can steal and send to their loved one. Or the one they hate.

If I should ever receive your poem, it must be about passion. Or hate. Or Anger and pain.

It must be open, straight, upright and full of integrity.

Nothing.

She tries a couple more times.

Still.

Nothing.

She chills kidogo, looking extremely calm on the outside.

An hour later, she calls again. Ala? It takes a while to connect. And then now, the nanny's phone rings funny. Like… she is out of the country.

Ai... Strange.
She tries more times nonstop. She's frantic and wants to tell nanny off.

Finally, ringing stops. Just hollow silence.

She calls a neighbor, asks her to go & angalia kwani what’s up.

Neighbor says ‘Ai. Si nilidhani mumesafiri nyote? Ukweli sijaona Margie na Kaylan for a while.’
