Yesterday I left the office at around five as usual and went straight to the barbershop. I took my sweet time at the kinyozi knowing all is well, after all, all had been well since morning. After the sweet shave, I went to my sister’s house kudoea supper coz I was not in the mood of cooking. Later in the night, at around 8.30pm, I started walking majestically back to my house. With my hair down and my stomach full, I had no reason not to walk majestically. I got to my house around 9.00pm. As I reached for my door, I realized my curtain was wide open, something that never happens, even during weekends when I am home. I brushed it aside thinking that the wind had seriously blown during the day to the extent of drawing my curtains. I reached for my padlock and it was intact, I unlocked it and got it ready to rush to the washroom as usual. Immediately I walked into my house I realized something was amiss. The door that leads to the balcony was wide open, that is not how I had left it that morning. My living room was in a mess. All the cushions had been removed from the seats and were randomly placed everywhere. I smiled at first hoping that someone had planned a surprise party for me. I stood motionless in the living room waiting for people to walk out of the bedroom and shout “SURPRIIIIIIIISE”! After all, I had just posted about my brother’s proposal yesterday and so I thought someone was about to propose using a bash, just don’t ask me who coz my dreams are valid. Omera I waited, I waited, I waited but waaapi, no one was forthcoming. I started tiptoeing towards the kitchen hoping I would find the people surprising me! I got to the kitchen and it was in a mess, its always in a mess daily anyway, so I thought I was the one who left it in a mess that morning. I stood in the balcony and shouted “Si mujitokeze sasa, nishakuwa surprised” still, there was no response. I immediately knew something was wrong, hapo hakuna bash. I rushed back to the living room and looked at where my laptop charger always rests, it was missing! Then boooom…..it hit me, someone had broken into my house. I rushed back to the door and pushed it wide open just incase the thief was still inside ndio tukikutana head on nikuwe na escape route. I then started tiptoeing towards my bedroom. When I got there I burst out laughing, I think coz I was shocked! Wololo, it was in a MESS!! Whoever broke into my house took his/her sweet time ransacking the house looking for something……a laptop. I smiled knowing that mine is always safe, hidden in the closet in between my clothes. I rushed to the closet and one look at it and I knew the laptop was gone…….gone like the wind! My clothes were all over, they are always all over anyway, why was I shocked? I rushed back to the living room to where my spare keys always lies, it was not there. So why did this thief go with it anyway? Ndio arudi tena kunichukua usiku ama? Ooooooh, I did not know thieves love tissue ya Hanan, sema mwizi kubeba tissue yenye ilikuwa kwa choo!! Petty thief indeed! I called my caretaker who came immediately, his response “Usijali, tutaambia watchmen wakuwe careful next time” Fine, at least the watchmen will be more careful next time. I had the longest night ever! I stayed awake almost all through with lights on thinking the thief would come back for me! I haven’t put my house in order, its still as messy as I found it yester night. I haven’t checked to see if anything else was stolen, maybe with time I will know. I have locked the house with the same padlock hoping the thief will come back today with the spare key and at least put my house in order. I do not need the laptop back, all I need is for the thief to arrange the house the way he/she found it akiingia. Hii maneno ya kuingia kwa nyumba ya watu halafu unachokora sio poa. If you want to steal something, find out first where its always kept and when you come, go straight for it. Unadhani nyumba ni rahisi kupanga? Nkt! I am still as happy as I always am everyday, you haven’t killed anything in me. I only thank you for not harming me coz I am irreplaceable! I can replace the laptop owada! Tumbafff!!!
