of my favourite kenyan-belgian couple…
i met ken through ali. i remember the first time i met him, we went to some african festival thingo at vic park. it was summer and ken was wearin’ his trademark basketball jersey. the next day, ali, ken, brice and i took off on a roadtrip. despite havin’ known ken and brice for only a day, the roadtrip was absolute fun.
over time, ken was just helpful to me and my many nonsensical situations. he was always ready to lend me his car when i didn’t a ride, drive me places and just makin’ me smile. i was a tad jealous when he got himself a girl, maria. i was afraid that my role of bein’ THE girl in the roadtrip gang was no longer special. but thank God, i was wrong. maria was so lovely to me and she was so sweet and the best thing that happened to ken. the sacrifices the both of them made for each other, in order to stay together, was and still is admirable.
maria’s from belgium, and eventually, ken moved back there with her. the sweetest couple i know and the most dedicated to their relationship. they are now married and has the most adorable lil girl, jade.
even though they are so many hours away from me, ken never fails to say hi on msn every now and again to check up on me. things are goin’ well with them and i hope it continues for many, many years to come. i hope to see ken, maria and lil jade soon. i owe them so much for my sanity and i pray i can show them my gratitude before i die.
