Kiro Kighuma, mama mwasa nebighuma.
Siku moja, mama alileta matunda mengi.
“Ebighuma thukendibirya’di?” muthwabulya. “Thukendibirya omw’igholho”, mama mwabugha.
“Tutakula matunda lini?” tunauliza. “Tutakula matunda leo jioni,” mama anasema.
Mughalha wethu Rahim n’imweru. Akalyatsa kubuli kighuma, kandi akalya kutsibu.
Kaka yangu Rahim ni mlafi. Anaonja onja matunda yote. Anakula matunda mengi.
“Tasamalira ekya Rahim abirikolha!” Kaghalha kethu akalere mukabirikira. “Rahim siawithe ngeso.”
“Angalia Rahim alichokifanya!” mdogo wangu analalamika kwa sauti. “Rahim ni mtundu na mchoyo,” ninasema.
Mama abirihithana oku Rahim.
Mama amekasirishwa na Rahim.
Nethu thwabirihithana oku Rahim. Kyonga ibwa Rahim iyo sialeghene.
Sisi pia tumekasirishwa na Rahim. Lakini Rahim haombi msamaha.
“Obo siwendisughira Rahim?” kaghalhakethu akalere mukabulya.
“Hutamwadhibu Rahim?” mdogo wangu anauliza.
“Rahim, siwukendiyikubyabomo”, mama mwabugha.
“Rahim, muda si mrefu utajuta,” mama anaonya.
Rahim mwatsuka eriyilhwalisisya.
Rahim anaanza kuhisi kuumwa.
“Omwanda yayi mukalhuma” Rahim mwabugha omw’abihwehwe.
“Tumbo langu linauma sana,” Rahim ananong’ona.
Mama abya inyanasi ekikendibyaho. Ebighuma byamamulhuma omwonda. Bikasughira Rahim.
Mama alijua hili litatokea. Matunda yanamwadhibu Rahim!
Neryo Rahim mwasaba ekighanyiro. “Sinendisasabya mudaku”. Nethu muthwamughanyira kandi thwamikirirya kwamatsira obudaku.
Baadaye, Rahim anatuomba msamaha. “Kamwe sitakuwa mlafi tena,” anaahidi. Na sote tunamwamini.
