Helia's P.O.V
I sat there in the nyasi waiting for you. I know it’s been two years since wewe have ran away from everything wewe ever knew, but I still hope for that siku wewe come home. I know wewe ran away to protect yourself, but I wish wewe would have told us why wewe left. So I found out for myself, and I now know wewe left because if wewe didn’t wewe would have been killed. I just hope wherever wewe are that wewe are happy. Also I just want wewe to know that no matter what I will always upendo wewe even if wewe have to songesha on. I know the siku will come when I get to see wewe again even though I know if I get the chance to say goodbye one zaidi time my moyo will break the moment I looked into those zumaridi, zamaradi eyes of yours and hear the words I am sorry but I have moved on and it’s time for wewe to do the same. The siku I first found out wewe went missing I bawled and ever since that night I have cried myself to sleep every night hoping I will see wewe again because sometimes the words left unspoken hurt the most. I sat there in the field kwa the rock where I first alisema I upendo wewe on your birthday exactly four years zamani today. A part of me knows wewe won’t onyesha but I can try to mask the disappointment because it’s all I have left to keep my moyo tied together. As the sunrise turned to sunset I gathered the box with the precious diamond I was going to give to wewe at graduation and a bouquet of your inayopendelewa roses I bought for wewe for your 20th birthday yet I won’t get to celebrate it with you. I sighed and headed back to the boarding school wewe attended that was just down the road from mine where a memorial for wewe lays in hope you’ll return one year. I set down the roses and light the candles as I cry looking at your senior portrait knowing wewe probably have changed during this time period. Once the moon fully rose I walked backed but not before I turned around and heard the rustle of the leaves on the wind. I looked at my feet and saw a small paper swan and as I unfolded it I felt tears stream down the side of my face. The letter read I’m sorry I have caused wewe all this pain every siku since I left, but I did it to protect myself from the pain of watching someone I upendo die au having the ones I upendo mourn at the loss of a friend, so I ran as fast as I could and as far as I could. I didn’t mean to break your heart, but because it pained me too much just to see your shadow I couldn’t face wewe and I’m sorry but just please songesha on for the sake of both of us. However I want wewe to know no matter what happens I will always upendo wewe because I have never stopped loving wewe from the moment I you. I cried because she was the one who had my moyo and she still had mine. She finally came nyumbani yet I didn’t get to see her it was the way I sadly pictured it having to songesha on even when I knew neither of us would. So I ran as fast as I could to that rock and saw her standing there in a little white dress with flowers in her hair and she smiled once she saw me in my sports coat, button down and slacks. I realized that all our Marafiki where their along with a priest I never thought this moment would come I finally proposed to her because she knew I wouldn’t songesha on when I knew she was still alive because I would fight for her until the last moment I had. She alisema yes and then we got married right there on her 20th birthday and even though it’s been a long two years I made the right choice to wait for her return. We sealed the deal with a kiss and I looked into those sparkling zumaridi, zamaradi eyes in the moonlight and thought to myself this upendo is worth waiting for no matter how long it takes to be together again, even if she did songesha on while she was gone.
