LONDO VILLAGE
The night was not dark comparing to other, moonlight shone indeed, generally there was no hidden things, all were open and seen. The sound of traditional dance was heard from a distance of about one kilometer away. Due to the quietness of the night, the sound directly hit Mzee Makatala's ears.
He was shocked to find his radio noising nothing more. He put it off, because he knew that it was a great night. His ears were still hit with the sound of the traditional dance.
Where is that dance? he asked himself as he got up and sat on bed. His wife, Salima was in deep sleep snoring. As the wind was blowing, the sound of drums was heard very closely and then off.
"Women, loh!" he said to himself as he got up and move to the living room of his house. Few steps took him to the door of his daughter's room.
In front of that door, he stop. His right hand seems to open that door in order to look at his daughter, if she is inside or absent! For he knows that this girl has a 'demons' of dance.
"What, I found sleeping badly?" he asked himself, "no! I will have blasphemed" he thought and decided to return to his room to send his wife.
He push the door and enter to his room, his wife's first still in deep sleep and this time she was in another style, one foot here and another there. He shook his head, sat up on bed.
"Mama Niki! Mama Niki!" he wake her.
Mama Niki did not answer, but turned and sleep, this time she slept on his face to be allowed back on, unfortunately the cloth was wrapped around him would remain aside and leave him alone.
"Mama Niki, I am waking you up," he said while shook her.
"What ah! I have slept, just leave me, we will talk tomorrow," she replied as she changed the style of sleeping once again.
"Get up! So, do you know that your daughter is not at haouse?" he asked. For that question, Salima awoke once and sit on bed.
"Makatala What do you say?" she asked.
"Go to her room and have a look if she is inside, 'cause I hear sound of drums in the next village, I am concerned. I do not know if there is. This child has inherited everything from you!" Makatala complained.
"Please, close your mouth, I do not want to hear that again," she got up and left the bed, he went to the Niclata's room, opened and looked quick. Local lamp was shining in dim light, he saw a person lying quietly while being covered her whole body. She close the door and leave.
"She is there!" she said to her husband, and fell back to bed. Mzee Makatala went up to bed and sleep with his wife...
