Ohole yetu nande ya li ipe, oya kala tai ende nawa lela, hatu di mo ngaho hatu ka lya keerestaurant, hatu i keemovi nosho tuu. Nokaringa keudaneko okwa pa nge nokuli.
Efiku limwe mokati koufiku, nongodi tai kwena mangha nda kofa, ndi tale ko o-Ndangi: “Babe, onda monithwa oshiponga kootchotchi pls send me N$500 to go to hospital.”
Eshi ta popi ota keme nee unene ye ota lili, onghee inandi dula vali okup**a omapulo mahapu. Onghee onda kwatwa kolukeno, nokutuma oshimaliwa shomafele avali.

“Oh. Tashi ti owa pangwa ndele ino patulula oshipofa?”

Eshi handi fiki peumbo, nokatumwalaka take ya kongodi yange; “Ombili okwali nda ya kundokotola.”
Ame ohandi denge. Konima yepopifo onda p**a: “Ou mu xwepo ngaho paife?”

“Oh. Ombili. I wish I could help but I can’t.”
“It is okay. I don’t take money from women. Nesiku ndiya onde ku puliike okwaana nkene.”
Omahokololo a Ndangi okwali taa maaleke omutwe wange. Ashike nghali handi dulu okutomona kutya epuko ola li peni naana.
Omafiku ta e ya oo taa i, Ndangi a veluka. Ashike eembapila daye natango inadi dja ko koRuacana sho noshipofa shaye inashi pwa shaashi ke na oimaliwa yokuya kohofa. Okwa panga a twetwenya, molwaashi vati ka kwa li munhu a hala oku mu kwafa keumbo lavo, nande a kala nokuva kwafa.
Otwa ninga efimbo lile inatu monafana, vati kali ta dulu okushinga, do neenghendabala dange doku mu talela po oda dopa molwa omaimbo onhumba noongadi. Nofiku twa monafana okwe ya ngaho a mangwa elapi mepunda ye ota shongola.

“Okay. Handi tale otuwa, onda hala oku findikila eefelende dange, ame ndi ke ku tulile mo.”

Kali e na nasho shaashi oku shi kutya opo pepi, ote ke i pitula po ashike eshi tai. Onghee okwa twikila ta tale etanga laye. Naame onda kala omutumba, hatu tale ngaho etanga.
Eshi va mana okutala etanga, ova lekela va ye. Handi mu pe oshapi yotuwa yaye, ta xupita nge polupanda nokuya. Eshi va ningina ko ame naame onda kufa okandjato kange, handi pate oflat yange nokushinga diva diva ndi ye keumbo.
Opo ngaho handi shingi nokasms: “Ando owa tile owala ito vulu ku kwatha ndje, instead of giving me false hopes.”
