MARIAN

CAPE TOWN (SOUTH AFRICA) MAY 25 1940……

Love is beautiful but at the same time deadly. It leads man to a fate he can’t control or escape and sometimes the outcome or the consequences leads to an unfortunate ending.

It’s not a crime to be in love but it’s dangerous to fall in love with the wrong person. I’ve always loved my brother Luan and I’m always ready to support him but the road he took this time around was dangerous and full of thorns.

The path he took was the one that leads to Elizabeth’s heart and his goal was to fall in love with her ; not only is she a white lady but she’s also our mistress and in societies like this, Relationships that involved people with different skin color is quite intolerable and unacceptable.

I tried to discourage Luan, but he has always been a stubborn head and a hard nail to bend, it’s hard for him to be dissuade from something once he makes up his mind.

Just when I thought he would hesitate and think this through, He went over with his decision and made his move on Ms. Elizabeth ; At first I was afraid we would get kicked out but I realized nothing happened.

Luan would praise Elizabeth and act like a gentleman in front of her, the crook even went on ahead and gave her small gifts and made corny jokes that he learnt from Mr. Toby.

At first Ms. Elizabeth reaction was blunt towards Luan, she never stopped him or discourage him but gradually, she began to smile a little and sometimes laugh at Luan’s antics.

The two of them began to get close but as lovers but as friends but not as tight friends. Every night, Luan and Ms. Elizabeth would sit in the flower fields and talk for hours but so far there was no any kind of romance between them.

Before long, all of the servants knew what Luan was up to and most of them encouraged him ; To them it was a marvelous sight to see my brother flirt with Ms. Elizabeth even though she wasn’t aware of it. Despite all this craziness, Luan maintained his boundaries and respected Ms. Elizabeth as his boss.

One hot afternoon, Old man Jacob, Luan and I together with Ms. Elizabeth were in cape town dropping off a supply of her honey at the port which were going to be exported to Turkey.

Whilst Ms. Elizabeth was busy negotiating with the Arabian man who bought her honeys , My brother was busy staring her intently like a predator stalking it’s prey. I watched him as he smiled ridiculously rubbing his chin, he removed his hat and wiped the sweat from his clean shaved head and then placed it back.

He and Jacob began to talk silently between themselves but I heard everything that they said.

Luan Baba! That is a fine woman… Just look at her. Wowza.

Jacob You do have excellent taste in women my boy.. But it’s a shame she won’t feel for you the same way you do for her but there is a way you can have her.

Luan Really? Tell me.

Jacob Charms my boy… Choke her with love charms, it always works.

Luan (laughs) No… I don’t think so.. I won’t manipulate with charms to love me.. I want her to accept me on her own.

Jacob Good luck with that.. You know she’s married right?

Luan I don’t care.. Whoever her husband is, he doesn’t deserve her.

Jacob If I may ask Luan.. Why Elizabeth? There are many beautiful young girls waiting to be taken by men like you but you set your sights on a white woman. Remember Githae’s daughter… Sara, she’s grown into a fine beautiful woman, You know how interested she is in you.

Luan I know Baba, but my heart is not with Sara, I’ve never considered the girl as a love interest before.. Elizabeth is the one i’m afraid.

Jacob Hmm, your decision is somewhat next to impossibility but still nobody knows the future.. If that’s the woman you want, may your ancestors grant your wish.

Luan Thanks baba.. If you’ll excuse me, I there’s somewhere I have to go. I’ll be right back.

In that very moment, Luan took off leaving me and Jacob alone near Elizabeth’s carriage. I wanted to use this opportunity to talk to Jacob but Elizabeth had rounded up her business and made her way towards the carriage, as soon as she got in, Luan returned with a flask of cold water and offered it to Elizabeth.

Luan It’s been a hot afternoon Ms. Elizabeth, here’s a some cold water.

Elizabeth Why thank you, Luan. It’s just what I needed.

Luan You’re welcome.

Elizabeth collected the flask and drank the water to her fill, and as soon as she was done, She offered Luan a ride back on her carriage while Jacob and I drove back home on the small rickety lorry we used to drop off the honeys.

An hour later, Njeri and I were in our quarters discussing about my brother and Ms. Elizabeth. As I narrated everything that happened to her at the port, she found amusement in it and began to laugh.

Marian I’m telling you Njeri, Luan is getting out of hand.

Njeri (laughs) Let your brother be Marian.. He’s in one of those stages men go through… Relax, once she dumps him, he’ll forget about her.

Marian As if just dumping him will be the end of it.. She might even kick us out.

Njeri Look.. You know how our men are.. Every one of them lusts for the white women, I don’t see what’s so special about them.

Marian What am I going to do about him?

Njeri Just let him be.. He’s a man now, not a kid.

Njeri I really don’t get it. Even if he somehow succeeds in wooing her, what kind of life can he give her? The whites aren’t used to our kind of life, which is full of hardship. The whites live in luxury, they don’t farm to eat or do most of the things that we African ladies do.. Just what is Luan thinking?

Njeri That is why I said, don’t bother yourself with his romance life.. At least, he’s getting romantically involved with someone else, you on the other hand are just keeping yourself busy with work and work.. You should relax and start finding men to take care of you.. I heard that Mwendada’s son, Isaac is interested in having you as his wife.

Marian May the gods of my ancestors forbid it. I won’t marry that pig. He’s not a worthy to be called a man.

Njeri Why are you refusing him? He’s rich.. He had dozens of farm lands and not to mention his factory job.

Marian I’m not interested in those things.. I won’t marry a man that has no respect for women. If you’ll excuse me, there’s somewhere I have to be right now.
