It has been one hell of an half. I already feel like the year has been too blissful. I have had moments of drage, hating and also loving people around me. I know I get more complicated and sometimes the void is too big. I had people say ‘Neno’ (I got no befores and afters though)

I love only NENO la Mungu!

What has Rateng done this time round?

Rateng here was my therapy. An unplanned travel after emotional abuse of anxiety. Let me take you just a back. Bro had this thing again with the queen. It was out of control and he promised me two Ratengs. I wanted this as end month was just knocking with grim hope. I joined him before we could all settle at Ace to rewind one chapter from Mr. Silvers. We then Took it down as Jathum kept us smiling with his explicit lines. Nothing serious though till that point when Mr. Acholi’s statements were not reconciling but all he would remeber was furgies glamorous verse ‘….take your broke ASS home…’And so Acholi found himself at that beautiful beach with some Rateng to give hime false delight.

Acholi enjoyed with the company of those that matter and it was again another serious man to man here. He was slowly seeing sense in all that Nyar Usenge used to tell him. “I am doing you all these to protect you”.

Acholi’s weak intelligence on his emotions always showed him that Nyar Usenge was not sensitive enough and he quickly tripped into an Heartbreak.This got them both broken as the depth misunderstanding kept on moving past the hottest liquid core of the earth. They drew more apart. The universe would heal them.

So Acholi was disturbed. He did not want to accept realities here. He bought peoples’ company even those he didn’t not need. He hardly understood what he wanted from these people. He truly loved Nyar Usenge though he did not just get how to woo her. I believe she did her best to be around for free. It was almost like a for better for worse, was she there?

Yes she was, Nyar Usenge did Acholi massive favors. I have just remembered something!

********************************* ***

“On Sunday Just after a night out with Nyar Usenge and Papa Jaloka I first took care of my laundry. Helena came and the house was sparkling after a mere one hour of her service. Since I had had like six glasses of Nyatipa, I kept asking Helena if she could make me something to eat but since she has heard Wiz Khalifa lines of sticking to the script and no new lines, she said No. My next nearest option was Alori Nyagot who is the most blessed Woman on Earth. She already has like 2 billion of the new a thousand notes on her hind. I have only eaten her with my eyes since we are good neighbors. So Nyagot agreed to rejuvenate me with some eggs, sausage and a toast.It was too much she had to come with Nyangweso too. After the breakfast I finally had the strengh to call my Tetema Nyar Usenge whom agreed to make me Kuku biriani. Before I new it I was with Nyagot with the chicken…I like its breasts.

Nyagot as well decided to baptize me with some William. It was one Sunday I will live to curse. Nyar Usenge kept calling but I won’t pick up. I messed it all by myself.

***********************************

Monday came in quick after a couple of sips with Nyagot and Nyangweso. I had to go to work and do an African productivity report. I got there looking sharp and My Office sweetie Agal Toto welcomed with a very warm hug. She was very Sassy and I wanted to spend most of my morning with her. We then went for some King and queen breakfast. She would tell me how her weekend was not complete because I did not even drop an Hi text,I felt bad about this. I would quickly invite myself into a problem and tell her how I had been sick and just by seeing her, I felt better but I still had plans to go for a check up at Mutithi.

She would blash and uncontrolablly smile with a glow saying, “Acholi iketho wiyaa”. I will miss Agal Toto as her ambition just gave her a promotion to another department. But being all blessed, I have Aviko baby who has continuosly accused my optical nerves of wandering all over her body, I know she likes it when her sexy body meet my bedroom eyes. I will stop looking at Aviko but her response to mild stimulation from my eyes is already a good sign. I can now wish Agal Toto the best in her new Role.

*********************************** **

Then Monday Just as I was waking up, I had a panic attack. My heart too was beating fast like I was a four month Arythmia patient. She Prayed with me and I felt better. As I got to the office before Agal Toto had stolen me, I was struggling with a bad email from my most esteemed client. My mind could not process a response and I got anxious. I soon had another attack and I had to come back home. Oh! I had also lost my keys to the house, were it not for the Hail Marys that I had attached to it, I would have had to break my own Lock. I got it by chance and came home. Nyar Usenge joined me and took care of me till when my palpitations relaxed. She did more than favors and I owe her.

We later felt dissatisfied as I couldn’t understand that Nyar Usenge too could have emotional needs. It got worse as I got more abusive to my emotions. I was constantly breaking, Drinking Rateng and Silvers and breaking again till when I traveled to be with Mincel for one week. It was the most relaxing one week. I reconnected with the 12 year old Acholi whom cleaned Mincel’s dishes, bathroom and mopped the house. I can still do my mum’s chores!

After the tour from Mama I decided to test my Anxieties again and this time it was a bottle of whisky a day. I had few Ratengs though but I was slowly reaffirming My sweet last promises from Nyar Usenge. I had a to do list that I would be like half through but Emotions,denial and fear to face the truth made me regress. I still love my Rateng but how about if I stocked them and only swallowed them with Musili and Aris junior when Nyar Usenge has to be away. Just like on Sunday when we closed a business deal after Rateng moja moja leg day and Standing Fast to celebrate my employer for Sponsoring Some Champions.

May God bless my Nyar Usenge even as the Universe works the best for her. I miss you!
