"What in the world has happened to him?
Why is he acting like that?
It is ashaming seriously,Is he mad? We should help him".The phrases that kept bouncing in the natives' heads time after time. Slowly his name became the most suitable to air out during a congregation of at least two people. Abu became the talk of the day. To those who knew him, it was alarming.
Pre-departure of his wife, at exactly 7am, Abu was already out in the garden. He could wake up early enough before the wife. He was very strong and digging was never a joke to him. By the time Njili appeared in the garden, Abu could have cleared a number of metres already. So when the wife left, waking up early was no more and most of the times he could sleep on the way due to alcohol.The great man could drink and forget his way home making rounds within the village and even by passing his home. Alcohol became a soul mate to an extent of neglecting food.
Ngine always closes the bar at midnight. She throws out all those who are totally drunk with words "go to your homes useless bastards". However much she insulted them, they could return on the following day. Abu was among them and locating his way home was among the problems. Abu had earned enough from the recent harvest. So whenever he was starving, the young ladies at the bar were always available to cool him down. He could pay them and they provide what he wanted most. The girls had a tendency of stealing his money as he became tired after sleeping with them. Everything in Abu's life wasn't heading to the right direction. The big man failed to see this, may be his brain displayed negative series of life. With time the money saved reduced to a lower percentage. He couldn't afford various cups of palm wine and so the situation of debts got it's way through.
Investing is the best thing which pays later. When Abu had money, he could buy for the friends and in a situation of no return, they also gave him a hand but in form of palm wine.All those charming ladies started to give a cold shoulder yet they constituted to his downfall. Abu was left with nothing to loose except his life. The man was slowly running mad and mostly insanity is the result of over drinking.
"My name is Abuuuuu the great.Am the best farmer on this village.If you know someone else tell him to come and face me, am ready to fight himm Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa oooouuhhhhh".
Abu used such words and even he used many obscene words which I can't tell. He never cared whether he was before kids or elders.
Life was getting hard
Abu was getting done
The great farmer was collapsing
