Mama Timo:usijali mungu atatuonekania
Family ya baba Timo ilikua na watoto watatu,vijana wawili na msichana mdogo,Timo alikua ameachwa na miaka tano na Toni ,Timo alikua 15 years old,na ready kujoin form one,wazazi wake walikua proud na biidii yake especially after Kcpe,Timo alikua a young hawker in Nairobi town,hii bidii ndio ili-attract mama Timo kwa Baba Timo,but nowadays mama Timo alikua ashaboeka na Bwana yakee,juu alikua asha kua m-lazy,alichunjwa job,5 years ago na akakua alcoholic,na ku-loose any drive ya creativity na pia morale ya kusaka job.Baba Timo alikua na ana leave in denial na pipe dreams,za kurudi job kwa Samken logistics kama machine operator,Mama Timo alikua ashachoka na version yake ya reason ya kuchunjwa job,Baba Timo alikua ana dai eti alikologewa na kutupiwa majuju,na workmates wake,but the heart of the matter kampuni zilikua zina streamline workers,juu ya hard financial times.
Mama Timo ndiye alikua bread winner pekee ,alikua ana uuza second hands clothes gikomba,but off late alikua proud of his son Timo juu ya back up,from his hawking business.how ali-wish twin yake angekua.alikua ana leave na regrets za kupatiana one of the boy to adoption.but hakua na choice,walikua so broke na jobless fifteen years ago,na walikua wanaishi Koch shanties,nyumba za matope ,na mabati za drum,although hawakua wame piga progress sana but now ,walikua wanaishi kwa plot nyumba ya Mawe na toilet walikua wanashare na wasee wengine saba,kwa bafu ama toilets asubuhi ndio the only way ungejua majirani,juu sometimes walikua wana patana hapo,na ilibidii ku-que In turns,so they all knew Yule msee akiingia toilet mbele yako,ni mambo badd ,,pia hii area ya toilet na bafu ndio ilikua place ya kufulia na pia,platform ya mpango wa kando,amenities zote communial ,zilikua hapa pia sink,zote zilikua mwisho ya plot.
Kulikua na siri za kila plot,nani hu hanya nani?nana hupiga wife usiku,mlevi na pia nani ameokoka,most Fridays kulikua na Jumuiya wa wakristo,na wasee wa church wangekuja kwa mama Timo ,kwa maombi,times kama hizi .Baba Timo alikua missing na ungempata Kahuruko base,akinywa barley na wazee wenzake,wote walikua na same stories vile walikua na pesa kitambo,before shetani atokee kwa life zao.
Nyumba ya family hii,ilikua one room,na kulikwa na curtain imegawanyisha keja mara mbili,Timo alikua akilala kwa sofa na wataoi wengine waliktandikiwa chini,for the last 3 years sex life yao ilikua affected sana since,mama Timo felt,Timo was a young adolescent man,and so alikua amechill,but the real truth was since Baba Tonni aingilie pombe,alikua asha kua one minute man na time mob,Mama Timo alichwa hanging’but alikua asha jipanga na bwana wa jirani,so waliishi hivyo.naye Baba Timo alikua ana pata service kutoka kwa Bar maid wa kahuruko,according to rumors kutoka kwa wamama mabeste wa mama Timo,zilisema pia Baba Timo ndiye alikua analipia Bar maid waithera nyumba,but since Baba Timo amu slap ones alipoenda kumake enquiries ,3 years ago,She shut up,na akatafuta mpango wa kando.although alikua ana feel guilty kila siku,na alikua ana ogopa watoto wajue..
Mara mingi scandles za mapenzi zili-kua zina fichuliwa na watoto wakichongoana innocently
“Wee nyamaza na mama yako hukuja hukuja kudowea food kwetu”wakati mama ametoka once a neighbor son told Timo 4 years ago,but luckily hakukua na watu kwa plot.

Timo ali amka huku amechangayikiwa,aliokota njugu zake,akirudisha kwa basin but mob zilikua zishakanyagwan na raia,mara askari wa Kanjo akatokea,na ku-knock Timo na boots zake
Askari:wewe nyanga’u unafanya sarakasi gani hapa?
“Nimepigwa na wakora ‘Timo alijitetea
Askari:wakora wagani ?amka kwenda nyumbani,ama nikutupe kwa lorry,wewe ni motto mdogo
The council askari alim-slap kwa mgongo,Na Timo alisahau njugu zake na kupotea mbio,alikua ashasikia story za kufungiwa juu ya hawking,Timo alishika njia ya river roadi ndio ateremke Otc achukua mat,after dakika kadhaa,one hundred metre ndio afike kwa stage yake,alishangaa watu walikua wakiscream all over ,loud bangs za milango za business zikifungwa,carn horns, mara smoke ikajaa kwa hewa,haikuchukua time mob before Timo ajue ni Tear gas ,alikimbia Nduki,na kuchukua alley tofauti,hakua ana ona vizuri kila mtu alikua kiguu niokoe, mara kwa mara  alingona na watu,but ilikua ni Kiguu ni ponye.
Hali ya taharuki ilikua ishajitangaza,watu wakikimbia kila place,Timo ali slow down!
Kando ya road mwanaume alikua amelala chini,in seconds kila mtu alikua akisimama kidogo na kundelea kukimbia,damu ilikua itiririka kutoka kwa mguu,Timo alizubaa kiasi but network ku-rudi na reality,ali run na kundandia matatu,alipata seat next na mzee flani.na kutry ku-relax.
Huyo mwanaume ni mwizi..mzee aliuliza
“Sijui,Timo alijibu
“amekufa ? sauti ingine iliuliza
“Nadhani “Timo alijibu huku akipumua
“wacha wakufe hawa wezi ndio wana tuhangaisha usiku”sauti ya manzi ilichangia kutoka back seat.
“ameiba nini?mama alikua kiti mbele aliuliza
“eti mkate!sauti ya mzee nyuma yetu
“ wacheni fitina mimi nime ona na macho yangu ,alikua hawker amenuizia kitambaa,dakika chache kabla city council askari wampige! Huyo sio mwizi,mama alikua na machungu na huruma aliongea.

Conversation zikaanza,na soon kila msee akaanza kupeana version yake,hata walevi walichangia, after kuchoka,kila mtu akanyamaza,after time music sytem ikaashwa
Feeling na atmosphere ina change,viti niza velvet ,graffiti na portraits za mean face black American stars zina ni stare nika tuna-beef bado!

…Noma noma..noma riddim flani ya ragga ina –blast kutoka kwa ma –woofer,macho zote za passenger ziko glued kwa plasma screen,scenario ni palms trees,aqua blues sky kwa background,Jamaican Artistes ndio main attraction,but kwa side show,kuna scantly dressed ladies na ma-bikini.
, unexpected abrupt breaks ,hu-ku-force ukae sober,hakuna cha day dreaming kwa Nganya,nikushikilia ile kiti iko mbele na mikono miliwi,otherwise kichwa yako itagonga ceiling ya mat,na impact ya kurudi kwa kiti pia ,inaumiza especially ka mathutha zako hazina enough shocks absorbers,
madere hawana huruma,na pia sikupenda kwao idhaa haiwarusu.ni paper chase,na kwa roads za Nairobi wana rule,ku-break rules nikawaida ka macho ku-blink,ku-break rules ndio law,Matatu ina stop abruptly, suddenly policeman amevaa sura ya kazi anaingia na ku-uangalia,kila mtu amenyamaza,ngoma ilizimwa kitambo.

We conductor wapi kiti yako?
Koni-kodi anamvunjia na design flani,karao anashuka,na conductor anamfuata nyuma,after dakika mbili,kuna loud banging ,simultaneously mat ina-move,

Vj a.k.aDj kalonje ndio ako on the wheels of steel ,ngoma inarudi ka kawaida.entertainment full blast,woofer zinachuna karibu zi-blow heart ya msee injebaada ya muda .

Timo alishuka matatu, na ku-ingia mtaa wa K-town,watu walikua wengi na pia biashara za jioni zilikua mob,music hawkers walikua busy na Tv zao kwa street wakuiza cds na movies na Dvd,wamatha walikua wakikatia watu mboga kwa kiosk,harufu ya fried fish na burnt animal fat kutoka kwa nyama choma joint ilikua all over,
k-town usiku giza ilikua totoro,murmurs ndio zilikua kibao,once in a while unge-nywesiwa na bike,ya ma-milk vendors waki deliver maziwa ama mikate,butchery zilikua na customers na pia ma-shop,but watu walikua busy ilikua wasee wa kuuza mutura ,maini, na soup,so among the murmurs sounds ilkua ina sikika sana ni ya msee wa soup aki-i-beat kwa kibuyu,clad na white dust cost ,
Once in a while ungesikia ma-nduru uki –walk kwa hizi street,most def ilikua ni either ka -newborn baby kamewasili..Story za hosi zilikua ni fyam.hakukua na dawa,juu zote zilikua zishauzwa kwa ma-phamancy za mtaa,pia story ya the famous pastor Deya ilikua inachangia sana..Ku-delivier kwa hosi chances za mtoi wako ange disappear miraculously zilikua high sana.
Nduru ya pili :ungesikia kwa same street ni ya msee akipigwa touch!yani ngeta kwa ufupi,ka-evening rush ka mabuda kupeleka ka nyama quarter home baada ya kuangusha tu-kilo kadhaa na mabuda wenzake..ilikua ni celebration kwa petty thieves wa K-town .sana sana walikua ni walevi na sometimes sober,vitu zilikua zina move fast. kwa hii street unge-checki nyuma ama sides just ku-make sure your ass is not the next one on-line,hii ilikua street reflex, hata ka ni gun shot zilikua kwa hewa..kila kitu ilikua ni kawaida no big deal,although resident walikua wanatoa tax kwa self appointed community policing,kulikua thin line between ma-dingo na security.

Nduru ya tatu: ilikua ya any body .admist hizi fracas Makarao walikua wana- supply mwangaza for a while.but resident walikua wana pay heavily for the light.mataa ya ndai ilikua always full light,ilikua ina-stand far,ma boi wa kiganjo..Maboi wa murungaru..Kwekwe.. Spider.. ma-beast..mambang’a e.t.c names zilikua endless,walikua wana ndondoka na ku-spread huku waki –ji-mix na raia.so nduru yetu ya tatu ilikua ni ya kibaree ama kama huelewi na maanisha kofi.either ya kijana amepatikana na twenty bob kwa mfuke pekee yake,ama ya mother alikua amekuja kutetea motto wake
Mama “mnashikia Kijana wangu nini, nime memtuma kwa duka tuu saa hii!
Mbang’a “ twaaafff! Ki-baree ya nguvu!) mama tunamjua mtoto wako,ni jambasi tumemtafuta sana”
Scenario kaa hii the only option ilikua nu ku-rush kwa mattress account ama akope-mama mboga Wamercy.soe moja ili mtoi wake aachiliwe.every resident alikua vulnerable ku-transformiwa pesa point kwa hako kagiza.pingu ndio ilikua A.T.M card.
Nduru ya inne: ilikua lovely.all roads after hizo drama zote zilikua zina lead to of course kejani. Plot zilikua zimeshikana bampa kwa bampa some za ngoro yani high rise.every plot ilikua na approximate watu fifteen, so ka ni ngoro una multiply,although Country yote ilikua na receive heavy rain downpour,still power rationing zilikua ni zaa kawaida ka oxygen,rationing ingeisha aje,na ma-Minister ama ma- Mps, ndio walikua wanauzia Kayole Gen power. Generators za kutumia diesel ndio zilikua zina churn electricity,but according to officios report,a foreign company ndio ilikua imepewa tender..ili ku-ease rationing,for all those years hata after LA-Nina Na EL nino ku-come watu hawa-kusikia rationing zimeisha.so back kwa nduru yetu ya nne,

Scenario ilikua the same Koinange street,but on that side ilikua ni between city officios, perverts and thieves in such of pleasures versus thigh-land squad caught up kwa paper chase ili walipe bills,raising children ama colleges fees.na usisahau Sunday morning church service hii squad ndio walikua may be biggest contributors, to the coffers.!

Timo alifika alifika kwa plot haikua imefungwa main gate na akaingia nyumbani kitu saa nne.
Baba Timo:habari ya kushinda mwanangu?

Timo ali tuliza na ku avoid ngori alikua ashazoea raia ya kuharibu siku

By this time Baba Timo alikua asha mwoa Waithera,na kuhama nyumbani,mama Timo alijikaza kisabuni na wanawe,na success yao yoyote ilikua sweet kwa soul yake.
Young man Timothy aliendelea kusaidia mamake Biashara na soon ikapanuka kwa muda mfupi sana,masomo pia alitia biidii katika chuo kikuu huku akijihusisha na biashara..alitembelea Benki Ya equity na kupata mkopo,na akkaweza kufungua nduka la kuuza nguo mpya katika street ya Kimathi mjini Nairobi..Hiyo ndiyo hadithi.ama kama hujani pata story ya before ya Mr Timo Karanja,mwana biashara mashuhuri,mwenye Timclads wear moi avenue,Tim electronics ltd, Timo Hardware ,na mumiliki wa Mother&Son boutique.

Song ya mbongo flava ilikua inachuna kutoka kwa streo speakers mdogo mdogo,place yenyewe ilikua imetulia sana,murmurs na whisper ndio ilikua code za conversation,café dela crème ilikua joint new Moi Avenue ,perfect haven ya raia ya middle class,haikua na swagg mob ka the rest za uptown,wasee hapa walikua less complex and real.
Timo hakua ameachwa nyuma ,na hio ndio place wali-have first date ,na ilim-take mbaya,within mwezi moja alikua ashaanua Suzzy,na kupiga rubber stamp.
Ali inua mkono na kuitisha expresso double,ya pilli,alikua asha kaa one hour waiting in vain,Suzzy alikua anakaa time keeper mbaya,Timo alishangaa.alijipa shughuli na kuanza kuangalia abstract picture kali zilikua kwa wall,halafu aka-decide ku-log kwa facebook,alichomoa Tablet phone,aka –login kwa facebbook,
