JAJUOK!

Jajuok = Night Runner 👽👺 Chiro = market 🍉🍍🍅 Years back, one fateful night tukitoka 'chiro', tuliencounter 'jajuok' head-on. Ocha wasee huenda chiro late sana, it was normal for women, men & children to leave home at around 5pm to go to an evening flea & vegetable market that's about 8-10km away on foot. This day my mama, Nyar Gwassi decided to send four of us to the chiro; myself, two lady cousins & one king of life's mischief, my cousin Omondi. Among the tasks to be ticked off the shopping list was making sure tumesiaga mahindi gorogoro tatu zenye Nyar Gwassi had put in a gunia. Hio unga ndio ilikuwa ya kupika supper that night. Omosh decided kutangulia using my father's Black Mamba bicycle as his mode of transport.

Said event was open to the public (bad mistake❌!) so you can imagine venye nlibambika when one tall, dark & handsome man, A.O*, my then boyfriend-to-be agreed attend this event. ❤ A.O & I had met on Facebook through a classmate, Poxxy. He was Poxxy's neighbour and lived not so far from our school. Our physical meeting happened on the first day of mid-term break (before August)
