A new neighbour has just moved in two houses down on the opposite side of the street.
Niko sure she is a single mum juu I haven’t seen any signs of a man.
She has two boys around early teenage hood and they are very polite and neatly dressed every time I see them.
Juzi my boys came for their weekly visits and kidogo unapata wakiongea with the new neighbours kids.
After nimedondoa wa junior wa mine back to their mum I get a knock on the door and standing there holding a basket of fruits is the neighbour’s sons ati wametumwa na mama two waniletee hiyo present!
ATI ATIA!!!..
I make small talk and I determine that their mum is either from Mozambique ama Malawi but I’m not sure.
That was like a week ago.
Jana I come home after a week away ata sijaketi chini a knock on the door tena and this time the boys wametumwa waniletee like some rice and stew dish na enyewe I couldn’t turn it away juu it saved me from the pain of having to cook na ilikuwa Tamu!
Huyu mama ni nini anataka?
Ama is she just being a good neighbour?
Na mbona asilete yeye mwenyewe kama it’s all about being friendly?
Sasa nsskia the need to reciprocate her kindness but i am totally useless at that kind of thing so I am really beginning to wonder should I pretend to rudisha the dishes and hope it’s her that answers the door?
What if a tall fat kibuda opens the door aniulize bibi yake ananipikia kama nani?..
I don’t like mix up mob na neighbours and I hope she is not looking for a man juu the last thing I need right now is a new relationship! Never mind one with a single mother from next door… kikikikkkk…
Stop by the gas/petrol station, buy her a gift card to fill her car. Let her know u still have some unresolved issue with your baby Mama, then observe how she behaves.
If she still keeps on, Friends with benefits mara that that.
Pretty simple… view it as neighbourly behaviour juu bado hujaelewa what her deal is… Act once everything is in black and white. Don’t assume that what she wants is to fuck or a relationship ndio mambo yasiharibike na nyi ni neighbours. Be patient, but fungua macho pia…
its does not make fun when said in any other language, suck it up or ask for translation in a polite way. Yaani new vilager na unaambia wengine hapa sio kwao. kijiji iko na wenyewe.
