NAIROBI: ‘Don’t wait age 35 to get a child. Time is now’ says Paul to Miriam, she looks at him with lots of questions,animated sweat rises at the tip of her sharp forehead. Yes she wants to eat him up. ‘What the hell man?’ she asks, he giggles. She don’t find his smile sexy today, not at all. ‘While miss independent it’s true. Your womb will retire while you’re busy gathering money that’ll go to waste afterwards.’
I looked at Paul and concluded he was nuts. Like seriously. Foggy strings raced to my brain, maybe I’m the crazy one. What he was trying to say was not making sense. I mean, she’d already set up her mind, she wrote down raging notes on what she wanted to achieve before she hits 35 and maybe after then, she’ll find a man to marry or donate to her his sperms.
