"Do you want to follow him?" one of the guys shouted at me. That is when I started talking I told them we had only known each other for a very short time and it was our second time seeing each other. They wanted me to clarify everything before they could leave. "Boss, we are done The lady doesn't know a thing " One of the guys said on a phone call in a very short straightforward conversation Before they left me, they asked me not to say anything and just say the thugs attacked us
It wasn't a normal knock at the door For a moment, there was a pin drop silence So Rishad came close to me He was shaking Rishad asked me, are you expecting anyone? I said no Everything was getting intense We were not sure who would respond to the knock. Should it be me because it was my house or should it be Rishad because he is a man and the knock was unusual?

I decided to open the door
Two armed men in balaclava masks asked whereabouts of Rishad Mchomba I wasn't sure what to say but I found myself telling them the truth One of the guys went straight to him and pointed a gun at him Before he shot him straight on his head, he asked him: Is this the woman who made you betray us? Rishad was no more The two guys asked me a couple of questions They asked me what I knew about him, how long have we been together and if I knew what he was doing as a business. I couldn't utter any word I was still in shock seeing Rishad's lifeless body on the floor It all unfolded so rapidly Like heavens tumbling down to meet the seas I couldn’t come in terms with the reality It was like I was watching a horror movie A perfect example of those movies on the “ one last job” genre FAITH RONO narrates the terrible ordeal that left Jane on her knees I wanted to call Samira but this time, topic would change The two guys left I felt like screaming, but I had no strength I then tried calling Samira Luckily, she picked up the call I wasn't sure where to start I asked her to come to my place as soon as possible I rushed to my neighbours house to ask for help. Two of my neighbours came and I narrated everything to them. Few moment later, Samira came She hugged me The neighbours called the police One of the police men went straight to Rishad's bag They found a couple of id cards and ATM card from different people One of the police told his colleagues, '' huyu ni ule jamaa yetu mwenye alitoka Kortini last month!" They took me with them. Interrogated me and asked me a few questions Luckily, they believed me They told me that I was even lucky to be alive I went to one of the detectives and asked who Rishad was. I couldn't imagine having a whole night's conversation without even getting to know who I was talking to Rishad had been in and out of court for fraud related cases He had been using innocent ladies in his acts. I was going to be his next victim. I felt like just texting Samira already I couldn't wait I felt like the story could be very interesting It was dark. Suddenly, I saw some light. Rishad had an incoming text which halted our moment. “Which of the two would you like to be driven in? “he asked showing me two sleek BMW’s He was already ordering a new machine to be shipped in the coming weeks. I was sold, I even envisioned my self on the wing seat pointing where to go. Looking at my phone, it was 3 am! I had some knock at the door No one could come to my mind at the moment Tbc Eabl kenya Snapp Beer

I knew the next day the agents would come to inspect the house and hand it over to someone else So that was the last night Jane was spending at my fully furnished house So Allan and Jane accompanied me to the airport Allan knew all the plan. I took a flight to Kisumu, and not abroad as I had told Jane. I made sure that after that I would go offline When Jane got back to my place, she only went to pick her few cloths and continued with their "business" with Marya She never stayed there for one more night She had only a month to repay her debt I was not sure where she got such an amount but I cared less Allan and I kept on communicating Jane tried to reach me in all ways she could but she couldn't get to me. She was worried. Am sure about that. Not because of my safety but because of the money she had borrowed Jane tried to reach Allan so she could find about my where about Allan always assured her that everything was okay. Allan called me and asked me if we had signed somewhere with Jane about the money she gave me. I told him no Jane trusted me and we could not have any written agreement So in case of anything, there was no evidence she gave me any money A month later, Allan told me that Jane has something important to tell me I was sure it was about the money The loan firm were always giving her endless reminders of the debt was supposed to pay The day finally came She couldn't pay the debt.

Our meeting with Mama Ida, Ken's wife could now guarantee my mission being completed successfully Since I was having a very interesting story that could benefit Mama Ida, she asked me to meet her in a very nice hotel for some drinks Merica hotel
What is it about a side chick that makes her so darn appealing to the man who already has a girlfriend, fiancee, or worse, a wife and kids of his own? PERIS narrates the face off between Peshy and Kens wife that culminated to the end of the road for the love triangle Just after Peshy gave us their precise location, we went together with Mama Ida. "Le Castro hotel room number 23" that was a text from Peshy As soon as we got close to the hotel, I asked Mama Ida to just go and I would follow later I could now come with plans to make Peshy pay for what she did to me So as Mama Ida was going to the hotel room, I decided to text Ken "Did Peshy ever told you about his Boyfriend Brian?" I texted Ken and made sure I saw delivery report and switched off my phone Mama Ida had decided to go with one hotel attendant so the two could open the door Mama Ida got in to the room I hastily followed her and stayed outside the room which was now open From a distance, silence filled the air for a moment "Baba Tafari! Is this the meeting you told me you were attending? I made everything ready for you to come meet with this lady? You are such a disgrace!"Ken replied: "Mama Tafari, Ida My love, it's not what you think! I can explain everything! We cannot destroy what we built in over ten years! We can solve this at home " Mama Ida walked out and I could not even get inside the room I accompanied her as she was walking out of the hotel Ken could not even follow his wife Am sure he was too shocked to follow her We drove off "thank you my daughter Thank you for you have saved me from all kind of stress and diseases! I don't know how to thank you " Mama Ida told me Am sure Ken and Peshy could no longer be together
It's Complicated

Some parts of conversation could tell how Mama Ida has been holding on for a very long time She had always suspected her husband of having an affair outside but she never had an evidence. She was bitten upon raising such kind of a topic Mama Ida too could look at her son and daughter and got some little strength in them. But this time, it was too much for her to bear So I was communicating with Peshy and she told me about everything and the place they were in As Mama Ida was talking to me, the guilt of having an affair with Ken was eating me up. I regretted everything. I promised myself I would change and just work hard Am sure Peshy and Ken were having some good time together

First of all, I was not sure if I could tell her the kind of an affair we had with Ken first or go through some other stories So, I came with a way of her telling me her story first She could lament to me how Ken had boring intimate moments with her for some time ever since they had their second born and how she always got little attention from him Mama Ida could also lament how it was hard for Ken to spend some little moment with their two children, Tafari and Naya

Put two quarts of water in a pot. Heat the water until it's not quite boiling, just steamy.
Put two handfuls of herbs in the water, and let steep for 10 minutes. Create a tent with a towel over your head to inhale the steam.
Inhale the steam for no more than 10 minutes. Keep the decoction, or extract, of water and herbs on your counter for a few hours after you're finished. At that point, the herbs have become more concentrated, and the chemicals they release into the air from their essential oils can be left to dissipate in the air, where they can continue to help refresh you and your environment. You can toss the liquid after a few hours. Steam inhalation, also known as steam therapy, has been around since ancient times Today, steam therapy is still a common non pharmacologic treatment to help clear mucus and open up the nasal passages, throat, and lungs. Skin issues such as open pores on the skin may become home to dust and several impurities. Suddenly, you will notice acne and pimples on your skin The problem increases during summer and monsoon season, unfortunately. The easiest way to tackle this problem is to do steam inhalation at home by adding various beneficial herbs like chamomile, rose, lavender, calendula, fennel to treat your skin by breathing in the steam it releases. Here is a quick 6-step DIY process:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Additional steam therapy methods include inhaling steam from baths, showers, and steam rooms

Baby MBaby MamaTrap amaTrap
Not every Baby Mama is spiteful, hateful or ridiculous, but those who are can be a force to be reckoned with. But why does she behave in such an irrational manner? DANIEL NDIWAH narrates the trap ahead
We were sat at our favourite Joint, The Realers This is a place where the walls could tell all our stories with my boys Marcus and James I wanted to open up to my friends about what was disturbing me but I was not sure if I was going to get help in any way You can tell everything with the baby mama dramas Marcus had noticed something was wrong James on the other side thought that it's normal for me to be that slim I had lost weight At 25, imagine weighing 48 kilograms I had decided that this time I will talk to my boys about what is stressing me out.
5 4 D I S H Y V I B E Z
As we were taking our drinks, I wanted to get a bit tipsy so I could now open up without fear of any kind of judgement. Luckily, Marcus started off He asked me, "Dennis, I know something is wrong. Uko window stage ama?" We all laughed that statement off and I decided to open up James tried to make me feel comfortable in opening up on my anxiety So I started: You see, man, my baby mama has always made me feel less of a man I was doing everything to make sure our four year old son had everything But she kept on reminding me of how less of a man I am.
A Baby Mama who knows how to push your buttons will do it for entertainment purposes. When she knows that all she has to do is send a text or say a word and you will react with venom, it gives her satisfaction to know that she can control you. Right now, I neither love my son nor hate him. I believe he is the genesis of all this Recently, I had learnt that she had planned this in her mind. All the years we had been together before, this was her ultimate plan To have a baby without any man around so she could have freedom I learned this from her best friend whom I don't know if I shoidk trust her or not. Again, my parents do not know about this I don't know how I will receive the news. How can I introduce my son to his grand parents yet we broke up with the mother? How many more ladies will I have to introduce to my parents only to break up subsequently? Men! This are my daily hurdles Marcus and James surprisingly told me that they had always suspected that The two guys had all along been saving up some money to take me to my parents. They presented some amount to me and told me that I should just get a day when I will take my son, Dariel to my parents I felt so relieved The two also promised me that they will talk to my baby mama and see the way forward. This had to be the best sign of hope. I had before contemplated sucide if no one was willing to listen to me
5 5 O N T H E C O U N T E R
I really hate women now Whenever I wanted to start any kind of a relationship, my baby mama could just end it as soon as she knew Or she could just get to me and tell me, " Wasichana unalea lakini mtoto wako hana chakula?" Mind you, I always give her all the support she wanted Whenever I tried to get something for myself, she willremind me of the things I don't get for my son yet I get him everything Bro, right now, am in a debt trap because of my baby mama. She always threaten me that I will never see my son again if I don't do what she tells me
