Mama, nziranyiaa risandiza

Murina wange munene ni nyina waa. Ndamuyanza kuvita vosi. Yainyanza kase. Rivugura kevogo nukunzuva nde zinguru ku vosomi nindi zigasi ziajira nunu kari nengenda ihare nzizagirira kwizuriza mama.

Nu waviruka muvisandu ma warerwa na guku noho senge noho yatakwivura ujira no vovereri mu mwoyo nuweteva, 'Wange nyina yafwanaa ndi? Yari anzumbake ndi? Oh, mama, yari ambe vuyanzi'. Gajira ndio niwavura kumurora.

Na yamurora, namuviha, namukuya kevogo chu vuyanzi, nava mwana wi imbiri, ichekorero, avezaa naveye nyina wa yamanya? Si novodoto kovora wamanya gosi ku nyina wovo dave. Kari muvuyanzi vura anyara kuva Angirung'ane.

Nu vutuji noho vudaka vwu wavirukira mu? Nuganagania, vwajira ku nyina wovo nava rugano. Vurahi vwivwe vwaturanaa ku kindiki? Rikugurira vidamudamu? Rihandarira ririe korora wakuria kandi wakunywa samu? Vuyanzi vwari vwa girigari noho 'vwagurwaa'?

Kijiraa nendeva nukuturana ne rirora riage ku vandu vanzaganaa navo. Varara vandu vikikaye, rikura ria nyina waa vaizura muvunadi vwizinzu, vasungu vavarangaa 'land ladies'. Varara varura, vandi vahoma. Varara vakungaa vandu vataatunga madanyi go komenya. Ni riva ritaveye rirahi. Ku nzeteva, nyina wange arava undi, gari gave ndi? Arava nizisendi, kwari komenye ndi?

Mama yaraa anyara kuzanga yengo isa nimwami ne rivora ndi, atura kuzigasi zizie. Yaraa akotere mureri mumba, akodekerange nakizia. Isi witu yaraa ahenzerange kunduru kijira mama navoo avoo. Na madiku nigazia, zisukuru nizikugumii, kwari kove kwadaka zingano nuvwiyangu vwukugunza na nyina witu.

Nirwo rwa nganagania nembora Nyasaye yakora kindu kenene kumba mama wange. Muzinguru nuvwihani vwivwe yakora gosi gukujira kuviruki vurahi. Yariho rwosi. Yatinguhaa ku kukuha keveeho mba. Na kevogo sichagosaa mba.
