“You know there’s no one I talk to as much as I do with you,” Norman reassured me.

He also explained that that was how he operated, and his family and friends were aware of it. I wasn’t his official girlfriend. We were something, but I didn’t know what exactly. I wasn’t yet ready to ask him to define it. I wanted him to take that next step on his own initiative.

If he wasn’t going to put more effort in, I wouldn’t either, but the heart yearned for him. I lit up every time he texted me. He occasionally sent me money to treat myself to something I liked, such as a hair or nail treatment. Perhaps he felt I was retreating because we had returned to our daily conversations.

Some lives don’t have room for pause. Nyakio knew that all too well.

One moment, she was travelling home from the biggest catering job of her life. The next, hospital machines were beeping, her room was painfully white, and her body no longer responded the way it used to. A car accident had changed everything—taking a life, injuring her team, and leaving Nyakio paralysed from the waist down.

But Nyakio’s story didn’t start there.

She was a teenage mother who worked her way up from cleaning hospital floors, doing mjengo jobs, and working as a domestic help—until she learned how to cook, built a catering business from scratch, and put her children through school. Even when everything changed, her responsibilities didn’t.

Because she had planned ahead, Nyakio didn’t have to face this chapter alone. The Absa Ultimate Protector Plan helped ease her transition—supporting her healthcare needs, protecting her income, and ensuring her children stayed in school.

Life can change in an instant. Planning ahead can make all the difference.
