Episode 32
It was Alice,she was going for shopping.I explained to her my ordeal of which she seemed to sympathized with me." What are you going to now Grace",Alice asked after keenly listening to me."Nothing, am going back to village ",I lied to her.What I didn’t tell Alice was how I had used the camera she had bargained for me.
Suddenly a car pulled by,it was karanja’s ,he rolled down the car window as he signaled me to get in.“Bye Alice I will call you later I got your number”,I told Alice as i got in the car.I put my bag on the backseat as I tightened my safety belt." Sorry for bothering you “,I told karanja as I shifted weight on the seat.” Everything for you my daughter “,He answered me with a smile in his face.” And who said am your daughter “,I asked him with a burning look.” I also didn’t knew until I took you home last time",karanja told me as he concentrated on the steering to overtake a matatu.
“Forgive me Grace,I did what I did out of ignorance and young age,not that I hated your mum,infact I regret it even today”, karanja told like if reading my next question.
Anyway that was not important to me,the issue was that now am illiterate young woman determined to prosper in life regardless of how I was conceived.
“Its okey dad,you don’t have to explain everything to me,I have nothing against you”, I told karanja who his face brightened by the mention of the name dad’.
" Thanks my daughter for understanding me,I also look forward to reconcile with your mum",Karanja told me with a faint smile on his face,he knew it was hard reconciling with mum.
“So what happened and why were you fired”, karanja asked me looking very curious." Just some little misunderstanding with my boss, nothing much",I answered him without much details. “You want to go back to the village?” He asked me."Village?,no not me!"I confidently told him.“what are your plans now”,He asked me as he reversed to park his car,we were already in town.“To rent a house and may be start a small business, I believe in making it in life”,I told karanja who looked me like if doubting my idea.
“Come ,let me buy my daughter some coffee”, Karanja told me jokingly as we got out of the car.We crossed some streets which I was not very familiar with though Karanja seemed to know each and every corner of Nairobi town.
He took me in a medium hotel where he ordered to cups of coffee for us." Hey Mr karanja how are you doing, long time", a tall slim middle aged man greeted karanja with a big smile on his smile.“Hey Mr Munene,long time”,Karanja responded to greetings with much respect as he stood to shake hands with him.From their gestures and talks I could tell they were longtime friends.Karanja asked Mr munene to join us which he gladly accepted. The waitress served us with the coffee including Mr munene.“Don’t tell me this is your daughter, you look so much alike,look at that nose”,Mr.Munene said jokingly pointing at my nose, they both laughed out loudly.“Yes this is my first born daughter, I have decided to treat her today”,Karanja answered Munene smiling at me.I smile back and nodded in acceptance.
"Grace ,Mr Munene here was my classmate in highschool,he is now a famous business man in town ",Karanja introduced Munene to me in a rather cunning voice which made us to laugh.
They talked many so many things,including business, politics among other things until our cups run dry.
" Hey karanja I have to go ,I got a meeting to catch in a hour’s time, I will see you around",Munene said as he stood leave.
“I would suggest that you go back to school and do your O level examination Grace”, Karanja told me after Munene left." You are still young to do business.Go back to school, I will pay for you everything until you are done",Karanja told me raising his eyebrows as if to assure me.“Thanks dad ,but at my age I can’t go to a high school, unless I enroll to an adult institution I be learning part time until I finish my O level”,I told dad who eventually bought my idea…“so you want to learn and work at the same time”,Karanja asked me looking straight in my eyes.“Yes,its exactly what I want to do”,I answered him.
“Hope you don’t mind living with me for a while until we know the way forward”, karanja finally told me as we stood to leave the hotel.Now that was better than going back to the village though I knew if my mum hears that am living with Karanja,she would board the next matatu to Nairobi.
Karanja used to stay in umoja,in a one bedroom house.His wife used to live back in the village with their children. I was surprised by how neat he had arranged his house,it was sparkling clean and tidy and everything seemed to assume its place.
" Feel comfortable Grace, this is your dad’s house",karanja told me as soon we entered his house.He had a nice living room with a sofa set, a beautiful small coffee table and beautiful wardrobe standing tall against the wall…where he had placed a 32inch TV screen.The floor was complimented with a beautiful carpet.“This is my bedroom, but its yours from now,that is the washroom, and right there is the kitchen “,karanja showed me around.” But dad I don’t need a bedroom ,I can comfortably sleep on the sofa as you continue sleeping in your bedroom”,I told him winking at him.“I rarely use this house,most of the time am doing my taxi business even at late night, so you will be using it more than me that’s why am giving you my bedroom”,Karanja convinced me.I agreed.“Now you can get busy in the kitchen and make something for yourself to eat ,am going back to work,see you later”,Karanja told me and left.I served myself a glass of water as i relaxed my ass on the sofa to reflect on the happenings of the day and the way forward.

“There is a church across the road Grace,you don’t have to stay in house doing nothing”, karanja told me the next morning while we were having the breakfast.Karanja was proofing to be a good dad.He seemed to care more about me,my welfare and my happiness." No,I won’t go to church today dad let me just relax,I will start going to church from next sunday",I assure my him as was busy enjoying his breakfast though himself never attended church… “Alright, no problem “, my dad said in conclusion.” Here ,this 2000 shillings if you need to buy anything”,Karanja handed me the cash as he took his phone to answer a call.It was a customer who needed him urgently. He quickly took his car keys and left.
I went to the bedroom and took my camera from my bag where I had hid it.I came and relaxed on the sofa.I was wearing my comfy pyjamas. I replayed the sex escapade between Monica and Simon and I could not help but laugh out loudly alone like crazy person.I enjoyed the whole clip till end,it made become very horny and my clit iched. I decided to save the two videos in my phone just in case I lose the camera.I transferred them to my phone via Bluetooth and saved them.
Monica and Stanley had no idea that I had their sex videos.I decided to blackmail both of them so that I could make some quick bucks,I planned to start with Monica .I wanted to play around with their brains until I get what I wanted,I sent the clip to Monica phone via WhatsApp. She was online,the moment I saw the blue ticks,I knew she was somewhere sweating watching simon screw her honeypot,something she never imagined would happen to her, may be…
After 10minutes of silence, she started typing something on her WhatsApp.I was just in her profile waiting eagerly to see her reaction.I knew she was cursing the door she employed me as her maid.“Grace,don’t say you were this evil what do you want from me surely?”,She texted me on WhatsApp. “I want to be a good girl and delete this video immediately I get what I want”, I texted her back." And what the hell do you want from me!!!",she replied.“I need money,half a million to be precise and you will never hear from me again”, I WhatsApped back.She blocked me!!.
I decided to text her via message ,“Mama Jade if you think am joking wait i send this video to Baba Jade now”, I messaged her.
That’s when she realized how serious I was,she decided to call me.“Please grace don’t do this to me,I will give you the money by Friday next week,Please don’t expose me to Stanley”,Monica begged me on phone.“Listen to me and listen carefully, I need the money by tomorrow afternoon,past that I will send all your sex videos between you and simon to Baba Jade,and if you think am joking try me”,I answered her with a lot of confidence. I knew she able to raise that money easily because I had seen her payslip. She used to earn 213000kes every month.“OK,give me your banks details I will deposit the money the first thing tomorrow morning “,she told me sounding helpless.” Listen,I need the money in cash tomorrow at 12noon.That money should be delivered by Simon and not you at place that I will confirm to you tomorrow. Don’t try to play games with me please”,I told her and hanged up.I never wanted any bank transfers for obvious reasons ,I was talking with confidence to her but sweating, it’s a thing I had never done before,I feared she might report me to the police,the whole idea made shivers of fear cross my spine.I never knew what exactly would unfold.What if Karanja or my mum gets to know about my dirty deals,what if I get arrested, what if ,what if what if …run across my medula oblangata but I was determined to punish both Monica and Stanley through blackmail.The greed to milk Monica and Stanley cash commanded me.I needed quick and enough money to start a life and a good life for that matter.A nap took me as sat on the sofa thinking about the whole issue…
I woke at 3pm feeling hungry, I went to kitchen and made a quick a meal for myself.It was some idomin…I poured some milk in the glass from the fridge and came back to sitting room.I switched on the TV and started enjoying some cartoon as I ate my food.Later I started preparing supper for my such .The anxiety was all over me that evening , feeling cold and hot a times , I hadn’t seen half million together in cash and I was looking forward…
At around 8pm I received a call from Monica asking me the venue where I would meet simon.I noticed she was corners from was she was talking to me .I decided to play my cards well,“After you give simon the cash tel him to call me”,I told her politely and hanged up.I never wanted to talk much.
I woke up very early Monday morning ,I did the washing and prepared the breakfast, I served my dad his breakfast as usual.He would usually leave the house at 9am.“A friend of mine directed me to a certain institution that offers adult education in town,its called uzima Adult Education Center”, my dad told me as we were enjoying the breakfast.“is it a nice school? “,I asked him.” Yes, infact his wife did her KCSE exams there last this year”,Dad told me as he looked me in the eye.“You know I want the best for you”,he added with a smile.I was happy at the idea that at last I would get secondary education.
“Thank you dad I will enroll for January intake”, i assured my dad.It was on December and Christmas’s holidays were just around the corner.
I never wanted karanja to know my secrets.so I didn’t tell him I was going in town to someone.
I waited until he left,that’s when I took a bath and dressed to kill.I wanted to be in town at least an hour before the time.
At 11:15am I was in town,I never knew town too well but at least I knew ,Afya center,Ambassador and Kencom as Stanley had shown me .I just leaned on the wall at Afya center like if am waiting someone and with no time it was noon.12:30 pm I had still not received a call from simon.1:00pm I had not received a call yet.1:30,still no call. My stomach was full of butterflies ,What if Monica comes with police to arrest me? the thing was still on my mind…I decided to board a matatu and go back to house assuming may be Monica had changed her mind.
