The courage

College students were from humble backgrounds, most of them came from poor families so life was taken simple and many of the students fully depended on college meals for their survival. Students came from different parts of Kenya,the maasais,the Luos,the nandis,the kisiis,the pokots and kalenjins, people lived with harmony amongst themselves. Most students were sponsored by good hearted friends from Finland. Arja who was a mother to all and Osmo her loving husband extended their generosity from Finland leaving their family members and luxurious life to volunteerily take care of the needy and orphans who had lost hope in life to make their future,many Kenyans could write and read because of them, many people got permanent employment after successfully studied under their generosity. Matongo was not that a big land, but it was full of institutions, the college compound had known areas; From the main road was a gate and No mans Land, No mans land was an area separating college, high school and church compound, Ladies hostel was at the lower part of the church compound, at night, No mans land was a busy area where so called couples and those who were dating were seen in twos,whispering and hugging as they wish each other good night. In front of the Library was a bench, a bench made for the singles, singles students were sitting at that point as they study the movements of other singles. In front of the principal's office was a neat trimmed flower in shape of a girrafe surrounded by rose flowers,it was also a known spot of students who were about to start their relationship, they believed that the beautiful flowers could make their relationship work throughout the college life. Frustration bench was in a junction of paths from principal's office, deputy's office, dining hall and Library, it was named frustration block because all frustrated student were found sitted there lost in thoughts,that was after they were disappointed in their relationships.

Cavo and Lovet were busy writing notes in their class,since Lovet came, he was rarely seen outside,they were ever busy . Their friendship was growing to higher heights,they talked about their past,the new environment and their future careers.

"You are indeed a good man, with you I feel comfortable, I feel I am complete" Lovet commented. " You don't have to say that, ever since you came here,you have changed my life, I used to be bossy and I clung on my positions my powers, I thought I was the only angel...but when you came, I felt weak and I am powerless when I sit near you" Cavo said, they laughed and feel each other so much. It was very true that Cavo was bossy since high school, he used to be involved in very delicate relationships to be seen as the greatest man. as soon as he joined form one at Mititi secondary school, he was rated as the risk taker.

He decided to take the risk of entering dangerous territories, Lenny was a form two girl when Cavo joined form one, he had stories going round that Lenny was untouchable girl he wanted to find out, one week later,he drew a plan of approaching Lenny the most fears girl,arrogance of her father who was also a teacher in the same school was a signal of a bad omento any boy who would try to come close to her daughters. Talking one on one was very dangerous and that meant crossing swords with her father a game nobody would dare! Cavo decided to put his ideas on a paper which was later passed to Lenny through Lusy a close friend of Lenny. He remained his heart pumping like a generator, he feared what the reply would look like,he feared the girl's reaction,many thoughts crossed his mind he imagined what could happen if the father could hear about it. The following morning, he got a note in his locker, he couldn't believe his eyes, it was a note from Lenny, he was shaking like grass leaf, he wanted to know the content, he feared defeat he believed in himself, " hi Cavo, I got your note yesterday, am sorry I couldn't reply in time. I appreciated your compliments and I also admit that I really like you and I am ready to be your girlfriend but we must be very careful, my dad should not find out,if he finds out we are all dead, I love you. Lenny."

"Whaaaat" Cavo felf he was flying on the sky, he wanted everyone to know about this,news spread all over the compound, people perceived the information differently, others felt pity for them,others congratulated him while others envied his courage, but everyone was waiting to see what was going to happen next,Lenny's Dad's temper was that of tiger,his judgement was based on his fist ,he associated with no one,he visited none and no one visited him, her two beautiful daughters never attended primary school,he was their teacher of all subjects in the house,it took people with surprise when the girls performed outstandingly in their KCPE and were still leading in their streams. Many people believed he was inhuman in his behaviours, he was feared by everyone including the school principal. He would beat students with any thing he found close to him and fearlessly tear their flesh using his claws. Lenny was already in Love,she wanted to be loved and love back,she wanted company something she had missed in her entire life, she wanted to experience life,to touch life with her own skin,she was extremely beautiful,her brown face was killing a well formed girl,white and snow like teeth,her breasts were protruding making her look much beautiful to see,Herr black hair were shinning like silver, her smiles were charming ,she would create time and steal some moments with Cavo. The two new lovers lost in love, they started seeing each other more frequently physically or in writings. One weekend Lenny invited Cavo in their house,she was sure her dad would be away little longer, Cavo never hesitated he informed Ombogo and Collins his close friends that in any case of his death in the house they should inform his parents to burry him with a red coffin indicating that he died in line of love. Lenny was glad to host his first love of her life she embraced him tightly,she felt love and guided him to the dining table,she served him tea and bread,they sat comfortably looking at each other with a lot of love and concern, they were happy together,they wanted the whole world to be theirs,they needed no obstacles. a knock was heard from the door, cups dropped from their hands breaking into pieces on flow! "Oh My God" He was back!
