The rule of law: Part 2😅

.... We managed to identify the named school. It was the first time to hear of this particular one. We kept looking for an office to check into, but every one we asked kept telling us to go on forth to the 'stadi'

You know how they say the mind picks what it wants?

Instead of hearing stadi (thats how Rwandans call stadium) I kept hearing 'Stasio' which is how they call station.

I obviously assumed there was a police station in the institute. But look as much as we could, there was not one open office.

We also knew that so many people had been stopped along with us, but we seemed to be the only ones on sight.

There was something wrong!

3 years later, okay thats a slight exaggeration😅 we got to a packing lot with enough cars to suggest we were finally home but not dry! It was the packing lot of the main stadium

Thank God I had earlier on gone back to the house in the morning for a jacket. I was already freezing!

We followed other 'law breakers' in a long que that ended at a hand wash station. Once we were safe and clean, we were gapped in order of something like 10 meters apart. Okay thats another slight exaggeration🙂

Still, I had to sit a distance away from the love of my life, even if we had zero distancing at night as well as most of the time🙄

We just sat there not knowing what our fate was. That's when our friend called. And right there we would learn of the bad news!

News that we would be spending the night at the stadium till curfew was over😴😳..

He wished we would have just stayed in his place. At least there were beds! But we had all forgotten about the curfew!

Spending the night in an open stadium with zero human warmth due to social distancing wouldn't have been that bad if I was not trembling like a leaf. And if there had been something in my now rumbling tummy.

You see, I hadn't really eaten all day. My body heat was zero. My husband advised me to get comfortable🙄

Within a short while, I heard the sound of a microphone right beside me. I was leaning on a speaker.

I loudly whispered to George
"may be we could set up a small concert here"

I mean, there was a stage, great sound and a very bored and unhappy audience😁😅. Problem is we probably only know 2 Kinyarwanda songs offhead!

It could end up as a disaster. Or a very very short concert indeed.

Also seeing churches are still closed, the Cops may not be very happy with us. So we relaxed and hoped the person preparing the sound would lead us in a song, at least one warm up one.

As the police inspector cleared his throat to talk, I visualized running the stadium track for us. Maybe, running around at least twice may generate the body heat I so needed.

My thoughts though were cut of by "Hello, Hello, Muraho neza?"

The next one hour the inspector like a father to a two year old explained slowly, Covid, and why we had found ourselves here.

He took time to encourage all the abaturage caught that just like Rwanda had won over genocide and other calamities, we would win over Covid-19 too.

I wanted to clap but the rest of thee audience didn't seem to be as enthusiastic!

He explained why the government of Rwanda had to set up curfew/, and why everyone should obey. He encouraged us that we would be spending some time with him there tonight .

"It's not that bad😅" he said.

Which I agree, the poor guy hadn't broken any law and he had to stay with us all night in the stadi?

After he was done, he explained that there were some people present that did not understand Kinyarwanda, people from Kenya. He would now translate for them now in Swahili.

Shortly I realised we were those!!

And to end this part ladies and gentomen, that's what God used to save us from spending a whole night like Wuhan bats!
