It was the 23 of February 2019, on my way to a school meeting. I heard a car stopping near me, it was a handsome good looking man. He reminded me of my ex husband who was shot in 2014 August.

Henry: Hello dear.

Pretty: Hello.

Henry: Do you mind if I can give you a lift.

Pretty: Iyoh abuti I can’t just get in your car just like, you are a stranger.

Henry: Well my name is Henry and I would love to know you more.

Pretty: I would love to have a chat with you but I am in a hurry to a school meeting with the principal.

Henry: ok how about I dropped you off to the school.

Pretty: you don’t take no for an answer Neh!

Henry: I will do anything for my wife.

Pretty: hee bathong this guy already calling me your wife.

Henry: let’s go how.

Pretty: ok.

Inside the car they both had a long chat on their way to school, they exchanged numbers.

Pretty: my road ends here.

Henry: ok mosadi waka wa mopedi I will call you, bye.

Pretty: bye.

Pretty attended the meeting with principal and she headed home afterwards. She was in deep thought thinking about her sick baby whom she left with her mother.

It is midday the phone is ringing.

Pretty: hello.

Henry: hello beautiful.

Pretty: who am I speaking too.

Henry: you have forgotten about me already.
