Nice faces indeed harbor a lot of umbrage and affront. Not until someone really opens up about what they have gone through in life that you will be able to really get the real picture of the happenings. This, one celebrated media personality knows too well after learning a bitter lesson.
And it is all blamed on genuine love and affection.
KBC’s Bonnie Musambi once met this woman as he walked down town Nairobi after a busy day at the state-owned broadcaster.
He saw love and affection and opted to pursue it with determination. He strongly believes in the saying, ‘Determination knows no barrier’. Well, the radio and TV personality made his move, approached the lady and shared a word with her.
Their subsequent meetings were all meant to fashion their blossoming affection and love and finally it happened as the two opened up for each other, exchanged pleasantries and promised to define love for the world.
It went down well and Bonnie started investing in, around and for this lady. She was caring and promised to build the Zinga La Asubuhi presenter at KBC a heaven on earth and to make him believe that love is real and genuine.
Bonnie fashioned the lady with his earnings. He ensured she had a cool stay in Kenya, ate well, wore nice clothes and above all, had something to keep her mind occupied and busy.
So the media personality opened up a salon for her in the heart of Nairobi City, a well-equipped and up-to-date salon. You know how those around town look like and what they charge per head.
“Because I genuinely loved her I opened up some business for her to help her earn her own cash. I wanted to keep her busy and above all, appreciated,” Bonnie tells Ghafla in an exclusive interview.
“She proved she can love and this convinced me to give her all she wanted as long as I could afford. I made her happy,” he adds.
However, all this was built not on love but on wealth and money in general. Bonnie’s was love. The lady’s was money. At some point Bonnie realized the business was plummeting. Equipment disappeared one after another.
“It was not until this man confronted me and told me I should keep off his wife lest I face some unspecified consequences that I realized I had been duped,” Bonnie sadly narrates.
The woman, as he came to learn, was married and had a kid with the man without Bonnie’s knowledge. It was a bitter pill to swallow.
Funny enough, before Bonnie could think of the next move, the salon was closed down and the lady disappeared into thin air. When the media personality inquired on her whereabouts, he was told by her friends that she had relocated to her homeland, Congo. That was all.
“Everything I had invested in her was lost. I was literally conned and left alone,” he says with laughter. Bonnie adds, “I learnt my lesson and I have moved on and I am happier now than before.”
Love wasn’t real after all. And to Bonnie, it dawned on him that it was never meant to be.
