So am out in this not so very quiet restaurant whiling away time as I enjoy some pizza. At a table at the furthest end there is this skinny girl seated all alone sipping some mirinda and looking all lost in her own world. I fix my gaze at her while enjoying some arabic pop music drowned in conversations from adjacent tables. Am in this position for sometime before I finally decide to make a move if only to get some. Seems like whoever she was waiting for had let her down and not honoured their date.
I get curious and ask her why she looks so stressed up and so lonely. She goes like ânothingâ but I can tell that she is really troubled. And for once instead of engaging the ufisi mode, I feel compassion for this girl. First I had to make her feel comfortable then try and find out what the issue was not that I had all the answers to her problem but was just providing a shoulder for her to lean on.
So I go ahead to introduce myself, am Kuria. We change the location to get a quieter place where we could have a nice talk. We move to an empty table at the other end away from the loud music. Its funny how this lady decides to trust me with so much info just like that. We have a lengthy talk and at the end of it all, what I learn from her is that she came to dubai having been promised a job as soon as she lands and had resigned from her ânot so nice jobâ. She had a one month tourist visa which would have been sufficient to cover for the job processing time. But kufika ikawa ndo ameanza ku tarmac without success.
Now sheâs been in dubai illegaly for the last 3 months having had her tourist visa expire. All this while, she has been staying with some other Kenyan girls who work in some mall during the day but peddle flesh at night to make that extra cash. She has been going out with several men most of them Nigerians making some good cash which she use for shopping and stuff. A while back she made a mistake of agreeing to a dryfry session with one of the ogas, getting herself pregnant in the process and now the other girls have chased her out of their apartment after learning of her predicament. They feel she will be a burden to them.
All she wants is a safe return to Kenya but without the necessary documents itakuwa sida. Since that meeting, sheâs been warming up to me ni kama anadai kubinjwa but sioni nikichukua hiyo challenge. Wish @Wakanyama was here nimpigie through pass atoe dryspell. As much as I would love to help her, hapo imefika ni pa.tight. My Kenyan sisters, when will they ever learn.
Just rewind the process and find yourself at point,âŚââŚwhiling away time as I enjoy some pizza.â Stick there and donât start feeling pity for anyone else.
Problem fixed.
@kush yule mnono you never disappoint na masaibu zako :D:D:D:D but watu hawaskii unaacha job huku ukakue poko country ingine juu umedanganywa kuna mullah mob ndufai. Kama appointment letter haiko mkononi kalisha matako huku.
Wengi hawaambiliki hawasemezeki. Rather than learn from othersâ experiences, theyâd rather learn from their own experiences. Often at great cost to self.
