It is a beautiful thing this thing we call love. It forms relationships and breaks them in a way. In some way,it is wrong to say love breaks but then again people understand this emotion quite differently.
I am in a matatu.... My colleague and I are heading home after a hard days work,production is really hardworking. Then,at Githurai,a commotion suddenly ensues,this conductor is at it again. Many of you already know how some of these conductors on our roads have the uncanny ability to change the fare amount once inside the vehicle. This was such a case but the lady was not even close to entertaining nonsense.so,as the small man-the conductor is busy demanding that they alight or pay up,she stays put.
By this time,she and the conductor are now engaged in a heated back and forth.
It turns out that this very assertive and loud lady has a male travelling companion who discreetly nudges her as a sign that they alight. Nope! Not this time bro.
She stubbornly insists that they are not going anywhere and they are not adding more money.
Anyway, the man soon alights and leaves the lady/woman still ranting.
By this time I am so proud of the woman.
She must have forgotten her own key,or she did not know where they were going because 20 metres ahead,she alighted too.Total anti-climax I must say.
The two of them, by the way,ended up not taking the money they were being offered by the small conductor and adding more cash to reach their destination am sure.
That is the end of my story, however,in the spirit of love; (I assumed they were a couple),shouldn't the man have stood up to this logical thinking woman? And also, maybe the woman should have alighted when asked very politely I must add by the man?
Love is patient,love is understanding...
