KOKU THE VILLAGE'S BEAUTY By Joseph Nyoni

KOKU THE VILLAGE'S BEAUTY

A barren girl does not get visitors" is the quote that has become common at Kanazi village in Tanzania. With that saying, it was the opposite of Koku who was tall, thin with figure eight, long neck like a giraffe; who bent people's necks whenever she walked.

Her relatives and friends flocked to visit her many times and those who present at her home gave them what she had; greed were not rewarded, they avoided her to the left. When she came, she prepared a delicious meal of bananas and fish. Her words in her mouth became more like a honeycomb, the guests felt very happy. She did not deny the gifts they brought her; so she distributed them to her relatives and neighbors. But her soul and beauty always turned into a stick to beat herself.

As she divorced by three men without having a son, what would she say when they say, "She is so beautiful but she is not fertile" and she actually date dozens of them to have a son but she got nothing.

People continued saying "A woman with a good spirit without children is like a big bag without money" these words hurt Koku but when she remembered them she found herself laughing alone.

Later, her stomach seemed to increase day by day, the whole village said, "We want to see the man who was able to impregnate Koku and when dozens of men failed" a sweet smile settled in Koku's mouth, and her heart said, "Shame on themselves" A few months later she was blessed with twins who were looked very much like.

The village argued, "God has blessed her, two babies of different s*x but she has no job or labor, how will she be able to raise these children?" others answered, "She who has, she has." a month later a man arrived at the house with a black V8; Koku introduced him as her husband who works in abroad.

The whole village amazed. And a week later Koku left with her husband with their children

every woman wished she could be

Koku.

The Koku's departure gave the lips more words. It was an event that amazed everyone. Even the elders still mentioned Koku, and for the mothers it was, all the time after their conversation they mentioned Koku. The stories did not end. But how would Koku know what happened? Because it was time to pack the luggage and leave, she also changed her phones number to avoid anxiety.

The young peoples lips did not dry with the name of Koku, in morning the lips woke up with Koku, in the afternoon the lips mentioned Koku and in the evening the lips ended with Koku; it is not enough that there were those who were sleeping with Koku; because they were talking about Koku in their dreams.

One day, in the middle of the sun, Mr Gwasa interrupts in the group of young people in the middle of the road while he is saying, his words made cracking jokes. He said, "If the tip misses, the old arrow has missed; the young people fail, and now the whole village has failed. We old people laugh because in the past we used to drink a lot of alcohol called Gutumila.

When the youth heard that, their thoughts and minds returned to Koku; Laughter prevailed, while Elder Gwasa continued to scold the young people, "And all this because you are not drinking gutumila." his words left the young people, started laughing.

Suddenly Mama Nyangoma came. She accompanied by Mama Nyantutu; all of them carried buckets on their heads. Mama Nyangoma walked as if she looked for those young men. The whole village knew her mouth. Her mouth had full of words like a mite, when she started to pour them it was like she was reading those words from a book, she did not rest talking, the only thing that should help you is to say goodbye; let her babble and you would be safety.

Her mouth did not care that the word that goes out does not return, she did not choose a weapon. Her mounth has broken friendship and marriage. Those who tried to criticize her, tasted the heat of the stone. Her only three words put them to sleep the whole week. She didn't know how to distinguish them in her mouth; her mouth had completely lost its brakes.

If she insults you, don't reply, she she will insult you a little. Otherwise she will pollute your soul and your whole body will stink and you will not find water to clean it anywhere; what kind of water will you use to clean those bad words? She would pollute a small village, the village called her Mama Lipyoto that means she talked too much.

But today the woman has come happily. When she comes like that, she becomes entertainment for all, her humor breaks their ribs and makes people forget their problems. There she speaks as if she is giving a good speech to her people. She was heard saying "The poor cow doesn't give birth, but today the cow gave birth" you can't believe; Koku who people said bad about her despite her good heart, today she got twins and married a man with alot of money. In short, people of this village have played with Tanzanite minerals in the sand? The guest has picked it up and left with it.
