Part 13

Overnight I packed my clothes to ensure not to leave anything behind, I had known that could be the end of my studies in Nairobi City. I was wondering if I had failed to to get college in Nairobi how possible to secure in Machakos. All in all I trusted in God knowing it was a transit to go back home.

I traveled well and got received by my sister. The house was just opposite the main road. I enjoyed the stay and learned several skills of keep the house deceit. At afternoon I used to keep my self busy ironing clothes. My sister had small baby that time so baby clothing needed ironing that’s napkins ,vest’s and other family members. In Nairobi I used to assist taking children to school and going for them in the evening.

I was wondering when shall I start that college. I waked up early morning and choose to wait for my sister in the sitting room to come . She was on night shit that day . Nurses attend on shift’s in the hospital to make it a 24 hrs working. Luckily she didn’t delay that day. she came on time , placed the breakfast ready and we enjoyed together us we discussed. She proposed we move around town to find out the college and requirements.

Due to stressed mind I had formulated body itches and sleeping was a night mare. I used to scratch the body overnight there was no peace. Sleep was at sitting room, the house had 2 bedrooms for house girls and them. Luckily I learned to ride a motorbike here Machakos. I use to wake up early to prepare the sitting room ready for breakfast so I had to remove the in law motor bike outside daily and this motivated me to learn how to ride.

We went town as agreed but it was as if we were doing window shopping no much interest even to go inside the institution. While in town I informed my sister on weekend I will be going back home to check on the business.

We returned home sister knowing on weekend I was traveling home. She accepted easily as if she knew the whole deal going around.

It was morning Friday that I decided the cash I heard saved to purchase something for remembering the journey. I bought a bicycle . Up to day the bicycle is there for rememberance.

Weekend was there very first and my journey home began.
