NDIBOBO

JOURNEY TO THE GREAT CITY

 “My grandchildren, Lusaka is a beautiful place with big lights that can light up the city like the sun does.” Grandpa Ndondo said.

Ever since I was about five years old, grandpa Ndondo use to tell me stories of the great city Lusaka. he would call us under the avocado tree and tell everyone in the family a story of Daniel the city boy, the story never got old as much as he used to narrate it.

Seven years later when I was twelve Years old, grandpa Ndondo called for me while seated in his old chair. It was not furnished, it look as if it was just made of wood and an animal skin on top. “Ndibobo I have come to learn of your forbearance, and child this is the advice I can give you as your grandfather. Lusaka is beautiful but if you are not careful it will eat your heart and drink your blood. I’ll write to your father's elder brother to come and take you with him to Lusaka.” He said

“Grandpa thank you.” I said with a smile on my face, a feeling to just cling him.

“Don’t you ever forget my advice” he said and stood up from his old chair then went inside the house.

Grandpa had enthralled me so very much with what he said I couldn’t keep it to myself so I ran to Chikokota my young brother. He was three years younger than me.

“Brother grandpa Ndondo said I will be going to Lusaka the great city!” I shouted

“Wow.. Ha-ha wait brother, what will you do there alone? He asked looking worried.

“I am not going to be alone, dad's elder brother will be the one to come pick me up, I’ll stay with him” I answered while thinking to myself if really I’ll be ok without my brother with me.

Mum and dad died when my young brother was born, Grandpa said my mom died after giving birth to Chikokota but he never mentioned how my dad died and every time I asked him he skipped the question and look dejected. I never wanted to see him sad so I never asked of him.

One morning as the birds sang a good morning song, the wind played the melody and the trees followed the rhythm, as the moon goddess was saying goodbyes to her husband the mighty sun, Grandpa received a mail from his son, the one in Lusaka saying he will be coming in a weeks time. He told me about it and for a moment I was gleeful.

It was 9 O’clock in the morning, time to go to the farm, I called for Chikokota but I heard no answer, I went to the bed room opened the door but to my surprise he wasn't there.

“Oooh yes I know where to find him!” I said to myself, knowing that my young brother was a foodie so I knew there is no any other place I could find him apart from the kitchen. As I was about to open the kitchen door Grandma came out, I asked her if she had seen Chikokota but she refused and said she hasn’t seen him the whole day.
