Kampala city down town

A married couple is fooling around on a small bed. The annoying sound from the bed crackings and the moans of a woman could be even heard by the neighbors. This is so because the bed is very small  and  old for the activity going on.

The couple lives in a one small rental room with their two years old daughter who is currently sleeping on a small mattress on the floor.

The neighbors are always taking about the sound from this rental room whenever the couple got intimate. Some of them are all singles and others are old people who long stopped playing such games.But its not only this rental, others are also small and the same happens when other couples are intimate. 

But what can they do? It's not like there is rules that prevent the couple from doing whatever they want. It's not their fault that the neighbors poke their noses in business that isn't theirs.And to make matters worse, some walls that separate the rental rooms are in mid way. They were not completed thus its difficult to avoid the sound. It only the singles that suffer the most. 

Get off me! The woman suddenly pushed the man away. Her face annoyed. 

But dear we just started. The man said as he tried to hold the woman's hand. Its clear that he isn't satisfied yet. 

Am done with this. Replied the woman getting her night gown from the floor. 

The man tried to smile as he stood up and hugged the woman from behind. Dear please you can't just leave me like this l need to reach there you know! He added pleadingly. 

Allan do you even hear yourself! The only thing you want to do is having sex with me day and night. Are you trying to make the saying that poor men spend long hours in bed than the rich true? Do you think that my hair, dresses, shoes and other things that l need will come to me by themselves with out you gaining money? The woman exploded. It was clear that she had enough of being poor. 

My dear don't talk like that. You also know very well that am doing the best l can to provide for this family. I had thought that when l harvest those beans l will get enough money for all your needs. I didn't expect most of them to be destroyed by too much rain and the rest l could sell the price came very low. I already explained this to you. Allan tried to be as calm as he could. 

There we go again. Every season we face the same problems. Don't you have brain to change from farming and do another job. You weren't doing farming before when l met you. What's so good about being a farmer? Okay How many people do you see that have made it here in Uganda through farming. Why can't you open your eyes and see? The woman said with tears in her eyes. 

Leticia you don't have to cry am going to make things better atleast we get food to eat. Am really looking for a bigger land to rent so that the next season l work harder. You will see my dear. Allan said rubbing the tears away from his wife's eyes. 

You are unbelievable Allan. No wonder my mum always say that you are useless. Now l see it. Every season you promise me the same thing but you haven't done anything. I keep telling you to change jobs you don't want it like you were bewitched to be a miserable farmer. But am telling you today am tried of living this life. Being a laughing stock wherever l go is something am not tolerating anymore. We are going to get a divorce. Leticia summarized. 

Dear what are you talking about. Does it really reach to the extent of you deciding on a divorce. It's not my fault that things turn out not good. Am trying.l really do. Most of the jobs still also requires to be with money now. I still don't have it. Allan was on the verge of crying. 

He tried to convince Leticia not to talk about divorce but the woman didn't listen to him. At the moment he even forget about his sexual needs and cried in front of her. But she left him and said she is going to visit her mum. 

For hours Allan sat on the bed blankly. He only come back home during the weekends. He decided to rent a land in Kajjansi off Entebbe road and do farming there. But due to many problems facing all farmers, he hasn't gained much from all his hard work. 

Today was the last day with his family before he goes back to the village. But this time his wife changed a lot. From the moment he stepped into the house she began finding mistakes with him. But being that he is a person with few words, he kept silent or giving into her most of the times. 

What she did today left him so scared, ashamed and helpless. He hadn't reached the climax and was pushed aside. Allan didn't want to come to conclusion that Leticia's mother Harriet must be behind all of these. 

Harriet never loved Allan from day one. She onetime told him that;lf it's not that you saved my daughter, l wouldn't want to have anything to do with you. She has been calling him names and ordering him to do works for her when Allan visits. She will always say ; a poor son in law always die of chores at his in-laws house. You are the good example Allan. 

Despite all of that, Allan never gets angry at her. He respects her as a mother for his wife. He really loves his wife a lot. But it just revealed to him that his wife prefers money and other material things than his love. He was so sad. 

When he came back home, he found new perfumes, dresses and hand bags that he didn't know. When he asked her, she told him that her mum gave her the money. As far as he knows, Harriet doesn't work. And Leticia's father is a drankard. Where did her mum got too much money to give it her? Something isn't right here. Allan blurted as he got up from bed and went outside to have a bath. 

When he was done, he came back to the house and prepared himself to go to the village. He got the five thousand from his pockets and put it on the small table besides. He left with out any money on him. 

Entebbe road being the busiest road in Kampala, the traffic officers always advice people who use it to be careful. Most of the vehicles on this road are always rushing to the airport. One needs to be extra observant and careful to cross it. 

But Allan was drowned in his thoughts that he didn't see the speeding car. The car crushed into his old motorcycle without any warning making him to fall down on the road. 

People cried accident and rushed to the area. Most of them believed that he was dead. 

The speeding car's driver wanted to run but people didn't let him. In the end he was forced to drive Allan to the hospital. But after giving him to the nurses and pay little money, he run away from there.
