Evening

Yesterday evening I took a vehicle whose last stop is at Odeon Cinema. We get there and as guys are alighting, this man starts complaining about where the vehicle has stopped at.

“Si mlisema mnafika Muthurwa?” He complained.

“Hapa ni Muthurwa!” the Tout shot back.

The man didn’t have anything to answer back. He just alighted meekly. I really felt sorry for him. He had a lot of luggage with him. On the other hand, I was also tickled, it was one funny comeback from the tout. I started walking chuckling to myself.

In the next instant, I was brought up short by some abrupt commotion. People were scampering to safety to get away from some guy on a wheel chair who was bearing down on the street at an alarming speed. I couldn’t believe his gall. And he wasn’t pausing. 

He just kept coming and coming and wasn’t even making any attempts to excuse himself. I quickly jumped out of the way too. I didn’t want to risk losing a limb just because of an ornery and aggravated fellow in a wheel chair.

And another day went by.
