Two years passed without hearing from her, then one day in 2008, we met at Mutasa-Kafero. She came out of nice car together with alight skinned guy, she was looking very attractive and happy i could tell the guy she was with was her boyfriend. They looked beautiful together. I then approached them and offered to carry their bags (those checked nylon bags from Asia) well that was my job. Sandra ignored me, I could tell that she did not want her man to know about us. I could tell that my presence make her feel uncomfortable. She was now high class. I was not comfortable either. I was dirty and untidy and I had a lot of beads. She did not greet or say a word to me. There was a red Benz waiting for them just near Pioneer Mall. Her man instructed me to take the luggage to the parked car, after this was done, they jumped in the car and sped off. I felt bad that day. I still loved this woman. I could not understand why she betrayed me. I continued working as a conductor and as a luggege boy.
One day in 2010, while transporting passengers from Salama rd to Town I was invited to church by one of the passengers. It happened that it was my birthday and at night when we were about to knock off the driver and I offered the passengers a free ride, the passengers were happy and a woman called Lucy invited me to her church at CHRIST EMBASSY in town.
I did not want to disappoint her so I went to her church 3 days later, I was welcomed at church and that's how I joined the Chrst Embassy church. I continued going to church and after a month, there was an announcement in church for all those willing to join the Uganda Police Service, we were told to see one of the senior elders. After the church service Lucy and I went to see the church elder. He told us to give him both our academic and professional documents. Lucy had his number, so that same week we gave him our documents. Lucy and I became close friends and though her help I moved to Nsambya where she helped me rent a self contained single room. I stopped being a Bus Conductor and concentrated on my church work. About a month after I applied to join the police service, a break though happened in my life. The names were published in the Newspapers and Lucy and I were selected to go for training college. We went for training for a year and after the pass out I was posted to force Headquarters in Nagulu while Lucy went to work at central police.
I married Lucy a yea after our pass out. I owe her my life. I started raising up fast in ranks because of my academic history. I had a diploma in HR. When Kaihura became police chief, I was promoted and sent to work in foreign mission in Russia where i was for two years. When I came back, I was promoted to a Senior Security position. Lucy and I are still together. She has been so supportive and I thank GOD for her. I have decided to SHARE my story because last year during the recent President visit to Luzira, there were a group of prisoners who were cleaning the place and Sandra my former wife was one of the prisoners. I recognised her and went to greet her. She was puzzled and confused when she saw me. I was dressed in a suit. She could not understand why police men and women were saluting at me. I went straight to where she was cleaning and said Hi to prison warders and her. Again what puzzled her there, was how her 10 prison warders saluted at me. And when I got permission to greet Sandra and her fellow prisoners the warders ordered all of them to sit down as they were about to be greeted by a High Ranking Government Official. I first greeted all prisoners before shaking hands with them kneeling Sandra and I could see her eyes loaded with tears of regret. All warders and her fellow prisoners could not understand why a High Ranking and Respectable Security officer could lower him self and shake hands with a prisoner. I did not bother to tell anyone about how I came to know her. Within 5 minutes, a Government vehicle came and I was driven off.
I don't really know what landed her in prison but whatever it is, that's her own problems.
This is how tricky life could be BROTHERS and SISTERS Human Beings disappoint but GOD does not disappoint. To be Continue..........................
