[Mand meru]

The scene is in eldoret, five years back. I was waiting to board an akamba bus to nairobi that was scheduled to leave at 10.pm. To pass time I ducked into a hotel for a bite of chips and kuku fry. I love soft chips but this time round I was done. The chips was crisps-dry. So I engage in a hot heated argument with the hotel management who insist that I must pay for the dish I hardly ate. They have a point anyway but I tell them that I had rejected the food coz it was substandard. My stomach too has feelings.
The hotel manager feels the heat and leaves me. But hardly 10 minutes later I get a replacement for dish, and the chipo was in plenty. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha......I never ate the chips! A second thought came into my mind, why was the waiter smiling too hard for me, why was the manager friendly waving at me, why was........Something warned me that there was something wrong with the food!

Has anyone ever had such fear before? I'm hardly the fearful type but I can recall all premonitions I've ever heard moreso about people have come to pass true.
