She fakes a smile engulfed with painful feelings in her precious heart. With a brave face, she stands on her ground to what she believes is right and “Korrect” way of handling each situation. She believed when he told her “THERE IS NO WAY I AM LETTING YOU GO. I AM IN YOUR LIFE FOR THE LONG TERM. You cannot invoke my citizenship Miguna’s style.” She envisioned a beautiful relationship and long term friendship. However, it was never the case; little did she know that unexpected rift will occur sooner rather than later reason being she is just an independent woman. How did the two meet? This is a story for another day.
She stood up with a long trail of her future projections “My Journey with my partner”. As she peruses through each tab, tears flow through her face. Questions run through her mind, when did the waters start beating us? What went wrong? How well should I have expressed my concerns? As she thinks through more and more???? Keeps piling but no answer comes through her way simply because they call her an Independent woman. Nevertheless, she exudes confidence to go head to head and fight for his love.
Through thick and thin, she braves herself fighting depression and obstacles that come her way. She goes to her knees to ask her maker for His will to be done. With a faint heart, she pushes herself a little further. With the expectation that tomorrow will be better and that the storms will soon calm. She thought she could find a shoulder to lean on from his close confidant and love of her life, but alas this wasn’t the case simply because she is an independent woman
She wanted help but didn’t know how to ask for one. From her childhood, she strived to do it herself and accept the impossibilities that came her way. With a clear that life is full of mountains and valleys, she let go of the ill-feeling and forgives easily. At one point she was heard saying ” Kazi ya roho ni kupiga damu,” Yet they call her an Independent woman.
She gathers herself when she was at the edge to reach out to her friends. She wanted all to know that despite being called independent she is human and at some point in time we all need each other, with the grisly smile they all blush her needs away simply because she is an independent woman.
She now dushes to the world, keeping to herself and searching for a true meaning of independent woman, will she find the true definition? She is still searching and researching. Holding close to her heart her dreams of being an independent woman someday.
