Part Seven L: I had no idea how this could be.
[emoji1666]Welcome to our family.
December 1998
Ilikuwa siku ya jumatano, niliomdoka na mwenyeji wangu kwenda kwao. Hii ilikuwa ni siku ya miadi yetu na baba Violet .
Kama kawaida nilivaa 'casual' tu maana sinaga mambo mengi. Mkononi nilivaa ile bracelets yenye rangi za bendera, mwenyeji wangu pia alivaa yake. Safari hii hakutaka shuka la kimasai, kimoyo moyo nikamshukuru.
Safari ikaanza tukitumia 'Ford Taurus SHO' toleo la 1995, dereva wangu alikuwa mtulivu sana awapo barabarani,yuko makini sana. Tulitembe kwa mwendo wa kawaida maana sio mbali, ni mwendo wa dakika 30 tu.
Tulipokelewa na kukaribishwa vizuri, wazazi walitaka kujua kama nimepata changamoto yoyote kutokana na kubadili hali ya hewa, ila sikuwa na changamoto.
Tuliongea kwa muda kisha mama alitoka na binti yake, nadhani walienda kufanya maandalizi ya chakula, baba akaniomba tukakae bustanini ili tuongee vizuri
Alimuita Violet na kumwagiza vinywaji, mzee aliletewa maziwa fresh na mimi nilipewa juice chaguo la Violet .
Mzee alianza maongezi kwa kutaka kujua kama nimeyapenda yale mazingira,
Collins: " Do you love my little backyard"
Edson:: " Yes, I enjoy this green, it reminds me ngorongoro "
Akacheka
Collins: "You've already missed your motherland"
Edson: "Well, not much, but I like the plants you planted here.. This makes the scene quite interesting, that's why I remembered the ngorongoro."
Collins: "I'm seeing it. I really like the greenness. I sit here and I have the fresh air and smell of those flowers."
Edson:" It is quite beautiful".
Collins: "What is your plan for the future?"
Edson: I got out of university this year. I want to settle and plan ahead. But my purpose is to open a private company, because people's jobs are very difficult."
Collins: "'This is an excellent idea. You have to make that dream come true."
Edson: "Thank you, I'll get to it as quickly as I can."
Collins: "All right. I'll be happy if you let me point you in the right direction.You know that old fish avoided too many hooks.
Edson: I will ensure that you are the first to share. Thanks a lot for this wonderful opportunity."
Collins: "I own a company that handles electronics. Another is about selling meat domestically and internationally. I'm a farmer too, I run farms for chickens, cows and pigs. We eat a lot of poultry and pork in this country. Milk is also an important demand"
Edson: "Congrats, I'm in great hands.. Hopefully, I'll learn a lot from you."
Collins: "Thank you. Don't worry, I'll do it for sure."
Collins: "Let me now turn to the purpose of this meeting. First, I continue to thank you for the compassion that you showed us that day, which led us to be here today."
Edson: "Well, thanks. I've done what a human should do for each other. Don't worry"
Collins: "That's good. I took a break and gave Violet the management of the companies. She's very strong, I have faith in her. She made a difference more quickly than I did. Shee has achieved tremendous success"
Edson: "Sounds like a victory to me."
Collins: "I put you down as my son, because I have no son. I want you to see the benefits of humanity that you showed us when we were in trouble.You put yourself out there no matter what. I respect you for that. "
Edson: Thanks mr. Collins, I did what had to be done."
Collins: "Now I am seeking your consent so I can legally register you. I also give you 25 percent of my shares, in an electronic equipment company and another 25 percent in a breeding company, although it is not the value of your humanity."
Edson: Thanks, However, the amount you send me each month is sufficient. Don't do more. It's been five years now, and you never missed sending me money. Thanks a lot, that's enough."
Collins: "Never mind, my son. You're a young man, you have your goals in life, you need money to support your family. My time is running out, 50 years now, which is why I rested to enjoy the fruits of my youth work. It is you who begin."
Edson: "Many thanks, father, for your generosity.."
Collins:" I'll call my wife first so she can pick up my paperwork..
He went inside, returned accompanied by Violet , then Violet 's mom followed by a little bag "
Collins: "All right, now we're talking about what we agreed about our hero Edson. I have to give him the paperwork, so he has time to go through it, and also time to think and decide what to do."
Tatiana: "It's true, you have to give him time to think and make up his mind. And since he's with Violet, maybe she can help explain where he needs it.
Collins:" That's a really good idea, what do you think, purple?
Violet: "Thank you, Mom and Dad, I'll really help him."
Aliongea Violet akiniangalia kwa kuibia kisha akatabasamu baada ya macho kututana. Nilipokea ule mkoba wenye 'documents' toka kwa Collins, kisha Violet akauchukua toka kwangu. Tuliendele na maongezi mpaka muda wa chakula.
Nilikaribishwa chakula kinaitwa 'Kalakukko', hiki chakula ni samaki alie okwa ndani ya mkate. Pia kulikuwa na 'Kaalikääryleet' cabbage rolls including lamb, beef or pork,blueberries.
Nilikuwa naonja kila chakula ili kujua test, Violet alifanya kazi ya kunielezea kabla sijaonja. Nilishindwa tu kula 'Mustamakkara' maana hiki chakula ni sausage iliyotengenezwa kwa damu.
'Nikakumbua biblia inasema "usilie mnyama na damu yake"
ndio maana tunachinja kuondoa damu mwilini.'

(If the sun stopped shinin' you'd be so surprised)
You'd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shinin' again
(Daddy what if the wind stopped blowin' what would happen then)
If the wind stopped blowin' then the land would be dry
And your boat wouldn't sail son and your kite wouldn't fly
And the grass would see your troubles and she'd tell the wind
And the wind would start blowin' again
(But daddy what if the grass stopped growin' what would happen then)
If the grass stopped growin' why you'd probably cry
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
And like your love for me the grass would grow so high
Yes the grass would start growin' again
(But daddy what if I stopped lovin' you what would happen then)
If you stopped lovin' me then the grass would stop growin'
The sun would stop shinin' and the wind would stop blowin'
So you see if you wanna keep this old world a goin'
You better start lovin' me again again you better start lovin' me again
You hear me Bobby you better start lovin' me again
You love me Bobby you better start lovin' me again
