This particular post is addressed to your counterpart, the driver, so feel free to enjoy your day off.
Driver,
So I think we can officially say that you and I are no longer friends. Fine you've been reading my blogs and I've made my relationship with the conductor open to the public but that is not reason for you to try and end my life. Haven't you been watching news? You'll be caught and it won't be pretty...ask Faith Wairimu.
That being said at what point is it that you thought "hmmm death by truck seems the best way for her to go!" because let's just be honest that was dumb coz you would go down with me. Although I do understand that this whole jilted lover thing does cause one to think irrationally although in this case you're the one that's treated me badly, shouldn't I be the one to snap and drive on the wrong side of the road?
I must say the light I thought was the end of the tunnel and turned out to be the headlights of an oncoming truck definitely allowed me to flash back for a second and I remember the following moments in our rather tumultous and exciting relationship:
- The day I got in the front seat and you were so convinced that I should go ahead and give you my number because even if I had a boyfriend, he doesn't have to know about us (thank you for making that easier on me, I was struggling to find a reason why this would be feasible)
- The day you so graciously dropped me in front of my gate as you escaped traffic and wanted to leave the motor vehicle and come in for a cup of tea...ummm does that include the rest of the passengers coz I'd have to buy more milk
- The day you got pissed and drove off in a huff because God forbid I had reached my stage and refused to go on a joyride with you much as it would have been the highlight of my life.
- The day you so angrily changed the gears because my bag was blocking all access to my legs that made you almost cause an accident...
I could go on but that would take all day.
All I'm saying is, just because I chose the condi over you there's no need to try and kill me. But hey here's a shout out to you. Don't let this come between a bitter-sweet friendship that has allowed me and Mr. Conductor to carry on our hate/loathe relationship.
While we're still talking...Uko na change ya ndovu? Sitaki condi anikasirikie tena....
