A MARUTI KIND OF LOVE

Van Charles owned a big farm in Naivasha with many workers, one of them being a beautiful lady named Miriam who worked diligently tendering the small garden at the back of his mansion.Once in a while, when the planting season was up, Charles would hire more people to clear the farm for planting.One constant casual laborer he got was a young energetic man called Cosmas, who had extensive experience in rooting out weeds.The young lady caught his attention and he started looking for opportunities to talk to her.Every evening after work,he would carry her in his wheelbarrow as he whispered sweet nothings to her.Life became beautiful and they had found each other.Then their boss Charles went bankrupt and they had to look for other means to earn  a living.Cosmas started his own shoe cleaning business while Miriam got employed in a salon.They would see each other on weekends when she passed by his shoe stand to have her shoes cleaned.After saving up some money Cosmas bought a Maruti mini-van for carrying passengers.He convinced Miriam to join him in the business as the conductor.Ever since,every Friday evening he drives her to the top of the hill in their Maruti van.He then tells her stories and sings to her their favorite songs.At sunset they watch  the sun goes down as they marvel at the beauty of nature and the Love that has kept them together.
