Wedding tings
"What a busy day" i thought to myself as i bashed the door open with my hips.I sank into my couch and started making life decisions like what to cook,shld i switch on the lights or not ?etc. Punde si punde😉,my phone rings i grab it from my bottomless handbag. My eyes closed i yelled "hellooo" and the other end goes like "ndanu,watinda ata? Mbona hauchukui simu yangu". Tchaai! That familiar voice made my eyes pop open, i even sat upright. I gave some excuse abt the loud matatu i was in etc. Grandma enters box 'mbu'. She reminded me abt the wedding for the millionth time. Anga ' mtoto wa aunt ya cousin ya guka ya shosho ya uncle'😂 who was a family friend was getting married.It was a stranger's wedding yet she thought i should attend so that i get inspired to have my own😂.Wah! Growing up is stranger than i thought it wld be.Her parting shot was "dont wear those ur tight dresses that outline ur circulatory system,and baby,dont put that hair that looks like a lion's mane.God made hair so that u can comb it". Asi! u think it sounds bad until you hear it in kamba buut me,i? I dont argue with shosh she's like a mwakenya of wisdom and knowlegde rolled into one. Isitoshe,she has a mabuyu tree that holds six beehives in her compound. (Somebarry saw 'honey coated mabuyu').
Sooo,the wedding day is here,i got there 2hrs late. I had paid 'pesa ya macho' to my brother to accompany me ,yet here i was,alone in my yellow dress looking as out of place as bar of chocolate in a wheatfield. You see this places majuu where celebs hang out so that papparazi can capture their lives? That describes the wedding,except for the fact that this ones were in groups laughing and talking like cavemen fighting over a dead antelope😗. My grandma's friend turned the ring in my index finger into a life advice session, Tina was there with her heels and smacking the hell out of the chewing gum in her mouth as she told me abt her new ride. People,weeh,people surprise me not bcoz no one wants to be who they are ;but they also pretend to live lifes they dont want with smiles plastered on their faces. "Are u a banana cause you look so 'a-peel-ing'" said a voice behind me..ughr just what i needed. The childhood friend and 'businessman' was here to showcase the grown stouter across his middle( kitambi) and remind my mum that he shld have been the inlaw. Enehu,i had more than enough grace and personality to pull off a wedding stag,i went around saying "heey" and doing a couple of those finger bang things charismatic people do. Finally the bride walked in looking oh so glorious. I was like 'the sooner we get the party rolling the sooner i will get out of this seat and people staring at the blank seat next to me,the sooner we get to reception and, eat caake!". My mum's friend offered me 'dont keep ur life so private,show him to us' speech on the dancefloor. I was abt to be rude but the irreversible respect for elders that mama 'pounded' into me came to mind.Blablabla.. the bride threw the flower up it just landed on my hands pa!,somehow, i was just listening to my babysister talk to me abt the school trip while i stood there.Everyone cheered,my mum broke into a dance😂😂. I rolled my eyes so far back that i thought i was going blind. The cake was on point,and they had muthokoi in the buffet.it was worth it.
So im here,with this flower in my diy mason jar on my craft table. Im receivig calls about 'tunakula rice lini?'. I think society needs a personality transplant. Life is awesome,im eating my maize thinking about the next project on my craft corner. Live, love, thrive and make sober decisions. Be real in the process.Na mwenye anataka maua akujie.
