Mchele / Pishori story, the last episode.
It was on Friday the 13th, April 2018.
At around 8pm, there was mad traffic along Thika Road so I arrived at my house in Zimmerman late & since I couldn't manage to fix supper, I passed by my favourite Butchery for a meal.

then I passed by the supermarket to buy milk & biscuits for breakfast. At my gate, though it was dark I noticed a young, slim girl probably around 16 or 17 yrs. I asked her what she was doing.
"Nimefukuzwa fees, naenda kwa Aunty yangu nilale, alafu kesho niende home." She said..

I was shocked, like who sends away such a young girl late in the evening to go home because of school fees arrears ?
She said that she had a phone but the battery was off & requested if she could charge the phone at my place so that she can call the aunty.

I empathised with her, I took the phone & as I was about to tell her to wait for me outside, in a faint voice she said, "Naomba maji ya kunywa. Niko na kiu na njaa sana".
I allowed her in, charged her phone. I went for 2 glasses & a packet of those sweet digestive biscuits.

I sipped my milk halfway, took two pieces of biscuits then I went to the kitchen to fetch her a glass of water. Then I finished the remaining milk & excused myself to go & request the caretaker to "fungua maji". We had a very mean caretaker who could switch of water &

electricity at will.
I came back & found the girl had made some few calls. She said that she had contacted her aunt & she sent her some cash to take a taxi home.
I was a bit relaxed, so I offered to take her to a nearby MPesa shop once she was through.
That was the last thing...

...I remembered saying.
I woke up the following day at around 10am. I felt very cold only to realise I was sleeping on the floor with just a t-shirt socks & a boxer.
The house had been wiped clean !
They were kind enough to leave me some milk, biscuits & water.
