After failing in her studies, her mum took her to Uganda where she met her baby daddy. Coming from girls schools only, I found myself in a class with boys it was like freedom, in a dorm with boys. I could go out, tunaduna, nikakula baing, nikapokea aki my mum had taken a 400kloan to educate me . I don’t understand how it was a shock to me yet I wasn’t on contraceptives.. I never understood anything about contraceptives,. I went for a morning after after three weeks. At the time my mum was out of the country. I wrote her a letter, and disappeared. She came back and told my friend that I should go back home. Kajamaa kalinipea character development, ni gaidi wa huku tuu, tulikutana huko- we met in Uganda at the University- by the way alikuwa very supportive sana so nilikaa huko home.’
