My mum came running towards me and hugged me tight. She was very happy to see me. Suddenly my mum withdrew the hug and stared at karanja like she has seen a ghost, " Karanja what are you doing in my compound ", my mum asked karanja in a harsh tone. Karanja became dump and just stared at my mother without saying a word. " Get out of my compound now", my mum barked at him. "Hey mum what's happening?, do you people know each other?", I asked not knowing who exactly was to answer me. Karanja opened the boot and removed the shopping and my bag without saying a word as my mum gave him a dangerous look, she looked like a lioness lady to attack. Karanja then reversed the vehicle and drove away with a sad look all over his face. " Mum what's the meaning of this ?eeh I need an explanation, why would you treat my taxi driver so cruel? ", I asked my mum with anger, but instead she smiled at me. " Let's go inside and talk", she told me politely putting me at ease. She tried to lift the shopping but it was very heavy for her. We had to lift it together to the house. Then I came and took my bag in. "Let me get you something to eat my daughter I know you must be very hungry", my mum told as she headed in the kitchen. " No mum am not eating anything until you explain the meaning of the drama that have just happened outside", I told her. She turned and came back to the living room, she sat opposite to me and looked at me, she clear her throat, "Do you really want to know? ", she asked me. " Yes I want to know why treat my taxi man like that, you have just embarrassed me", I fumed. My mum looked at me, I saw her give me a full glance then settled at my chest. "My daughter let me tell you the truth now that you are of age and mature", my mum told me and paused, then she continued, " That man who you call a taxi man is your real father", my mum told me ,her face filled with emotions. "His name is karanja, I remember him like yesterday, he was my boyfriend when I was 19 years old. When I told him I was pregnant for him, he refused to take the responsibility and dumped me accusing me that I had another boyfriend. 9 months later you were born and I decided to raise you on my own, Now you know why I was mad at him", Mum told me faking a smile. That thing made me feel like if I met Karanja again I would slap him so hard on his face. Anyway that was no longer a bother to me I was a grown up now. My mum went to the kitchen and came with rice and some meat stew and served me. We ate as we talked many different things. My siblings had not arrived from school. I was missing them, and wished they were home. I knew they would be very happy to find me home. "My daughter you have really grown to be a beautiful girl" My mum told as i helped her clean the utensils. I could see my mum staring at my hips and my chest. "What is it mum,stop looking me like that you are making me feel shy", I told her after noticing how she was looking at me. " She smiled. "I used to looked exactly like you when I was young", she told me, i felt flattered.Then she looked sad all over a sudden, " But make sure you don't make a mistake like the one I did, I know many men will want to take advantage you, just to use and dump you,but be wise my daughter", she told me. That made my heart skip knowing how I was giving myself to Stanley and the all the glory i had was as result of having sex with Stanley. "Mum I promise to take good care of myself, I will always be a good girl", I told her smiling to assure her.
Later my sisters and my bro were home, they were very happy to see me, they followed me wherever I went, I felt like a queen as they praised my looks and transformation. I gave them gifts, including clothes that I had bought for them.
My stay at home was awesome,I visited my aunties, uncles and my shosh and they were all happy to see me. Mum took me to the civil registration office and I registered for a ID.The days moved fast than I thought and finally the day to go back to 'work' came, it was on a Tuesday. This time I was to travel by a matatu.
My mum gave me a push to the stage as my sisters and bro were at school.I gave my mum the money that Stanley had given me, I had not used even a coin. She was very happy. He hugged me tight. "May God continue blessing you my daughter", mum told me as I boarded a matatu to Nairobi. I knew the way to Stanley's home and by 3pm I was at the gate, Simon was happy to see me, he almost hugged me but I discouraged him, I noticed the Stanley car in the compound. " Is baba Jade in", I asked Simon. "Yes, he came with his cousin in the afternoon", Simon told me. " And what about Monica? ", I asked him, " Madam went to Mombasa for a 3day women seminar ", Simon told me as he stared at my breasts, I could see him admiring them from the corner of his eyes.I looked at him, he was now more handsome and admirable, " Monica must be really enjoying this nigga", I thought to myself. He looked strong.I went to the house to put my bags, there was no one in the living room..
I wondered if simon was playing with my mind when he told Stanley was with his cousin in the house.. I went direct to my bedroom.
