He sat next to the dying fire staring right into the now slightly glowing residue. At the family table, his father requested to talk to him and Mutiso was unsure about what. His father wasn't a talkative soul so he knew it was serious.
A load of firewood scattered next to him in a small thud. His youngest brother then smiled at his noticeably uptight face and muttered goodnight. Before his dry mouth could gather enough juice to answer him, the child disappeared and their father had replaced him.
He sat across him with a relaxed face and set his ever present brew next to him. His mum entered the traditional kitchen with two drinking horns and left within the minute. He instantly figured he had done nothing wrong and his dad just wanted to talk. About what was painted across his face as he watched his father serve him brew.
You must be dying to know the reason behind all this son... So... there comes a time in a father's life when he has to have this conversation with his now grown offspring...if he's a lucky son of a bitch blessed with the opportunity to be alive when his son is turning to a man like me, thank heavens.
You are heading to a critical stage for any man's life yet women assume it's as easy as we get aroused. Mutiso gasped after a paragraph of silence. His father passed him his now full horn chuckling.
You should see the shock on your face... But its the truth. A man's marriage can't be decided purely on physical excitements alone... There has to be more son. His father's eyes meant every word his mouth was saying as they riveted his into this extremely honest stare.
What do you mean more dad? He found himself asking. You need to find your queen bee just like I did with your mother. They both smiled at each other then broke into a mad laughter. One you can't live without regardless of sometimes being a victim of her unpredictable mood swings.
A woman who will score you additional respect in town through how she steers your family. Find a hard worker and a productive soul... Find your queen bee and your future self will thank you for it... But beware of getting entangled with a queen wasp.
