As  soon as I knocked
the door, I am quickly pulled in by my mom.

' Where the heck have you been, Patricia Ann?  I was sick with worry girl ' ranted my mom, ' explain yourself  now! '

I immediately cringe hearing her sharp voice. Usually I am home by 9 o'clock sharp, but this time I was super late.

'Ma, I am so sorry that I am late and I didn't mean to worry you lakini kuna kitu kimetokea and I will tell you later '

My mom looked at me with her hands folded and carefully scrutinized  my face closely to see if I am saying the truth.

' Well,  could you make yourself clear?  Sielewi kabisa.'

' We are going to have this talk tomorrow morning ' she said, as she finally noticed how exhausted I looked.

' Usiku mwema, my girl '
'Good night mom,  love you so much' I said as I hugged her.

30 minutes later my bath is drawn and I quickly get into the bathtub soaking the heat. As I lie there , my thoughts hover back to the incident.

Who the heck was that guy?  What did he want?  How did he just vanish?  I asked my self.

After some time I climb out of the  tub,  rub my skin dry and head towards my bedroom  to sleep. Little did I know that  my life is going to change over the next few hours.

Sawa-okay

Lakini kuna kitu kimetokea - but something just happened.

Usiku mwema-goodnight

I guess that's all, would love it for those who read this vote.. Peace
