THE MYSTERY OF OBUGEME

By Nelon Gerrard

#Culture #Love

When you reach Butuku; Rwebisengo in particular, one unique thing that gets to your attention is how the people adore a popular traditional drink drawn from nature locally known as Obugeme. All people young and old will tell you about Obugeme the first time you interact with them, they will tell you how sweet and how exciting Obugeme is. Drinking Obugeme with friends is the best on an evening out.

When my chance came to sip on Obugeme, indeed I found all that to be true. What caught my intention was actually not the sweetness of the drink, but it’s making. It’s such an interesting phenomenon I found that Obugeme is a drink made and refined by nature. Man has no much influence on its formation other than collecting it. The fine drink is collected from a palm (locally “ebikooga”) like tree trunk using long grass into a container ready to be drunk without adding no water or nothing else. Actually it is said that adding water to Obugeme spoils its taste and fineness. More interesting is that Obugeme ferments with the rise in temperature; in the morning, Obugeme tastes like fine fruit juice very sweet and fresh yet in the evening Obugeme becomes alcoholic. By 6pm Obugeme is fully alcohol with that bitter taste.

Obugeme has immense benefits including health, sexual, social and economic benefits. Obugeme is a great appetizer and a great natural energy drink. On a good day with friends out, Obugeme will get you socialize and make you feel good. For those that love alcohol, alcoholic Obugeme will get you high yes but strong with no drop of hangover in the morning. For those passionate about sex and making love, Obugeme surely will give you the best sexual experience; long lasting for men and honey for the ladies. Important to note is that Obugeme is the traditional drink of the Batuku (equivalent to tonto of the Batooro) used on different ceremonies including Kweranga or introductions or traditional marriage ceremonies.

Obugeme has instantly become one of my favorite drinks. I’m on a search for friends from Butuku so they can deliver to me Obugeme all the time because wine and Smirnoff are facing the ditch soon. Let me be the one you give Obugeme for goodness and love.

CLOTH IN MY CLOSET

By Nelon Gerrard

#ItsLove

I woke up so weary on a Sunday morning after a night out with my friends. My entire closet was full of dirty clothes yet I had a very important business presentation on Monday morning which could help see my project grow. I spent a long time on the phone lazing around chatting with friends trying to avoid cleaning the closet. The weather was bright giving me confidence that anytime I washed the clothes would dry.

Suddenly, the weather started dulling prompting me to sort the closet before it was too late bearing in mind I had to be extremely smart clad in my executive grey suit and black moccasin shoes for the meeting. As I sorted clothes from the closet, my eyes landed on her favorite pink top she wore before missing her flight.

It was early in the morning about 5hours to the flight when we left home to the shopping mall to buy a few items she would voyage with. A few minutes into shopping, one of my beautiful workmates called to confirm whether I was the one she had seen enter the mall, she joined us in a few minutes on confirmation. She was driving out but returned when she saw us. A tight embrace and a peck on her soft cheek made my woman change her mood from virtuous to terrible. I realised it was gonna be a spoiler and would bring misery to her in flight. My workmate was so used to me and never realised that something fishy was happening between us, she continued cracking jokes and making me laugh a little bit more leaving my woman in agony. I couldn’t stop the crazy jokes but my imagination was cooking up something to turn her moods around to a perfect day.

As we moved out of the mall, it started raining. She was dressed in her favorite pink top and a snow white round high waist skirt with her top partly untucked. Just outside the mall with many people around, some guy stamped on her shoe and dirtied it making her angrier, she wanted to slap him but I held her hand and went down on my knee pulling out my white hankie. I wiped off the dirt from the shoe restoring her smile. I then rolled my hands under her skirt to the amusement of people around. Perhaps they thought I was gonna do something stupid in public but to their surprise, I was only pulling down her top to properly tuck it in to regain her fashionable look. I pretended I hadn’t seen no one around, got up and kissed on her forehead then pulled her into the rain towards the park yard. As we moved playfully through the rain after stunning the mall goers, I somehow slipped and nearly fell down staining her white skirt with dirt as she tried to prevent me from falling.

While I thought this was another killer, she just smiled, knelt on her knee and planted her lips onto mine before asking me to get up and leave. My workmate was left in fantasy, standing still in the rain like she was shooting on a movie set. She left her car in the park yard and drove us off in ours as my woman was spellbound in the moment of unprecedented bliss. “But for sure, you’ve never told me who you really are. I have asked you several times who you are but never got answers yet”, she said. “Cancel your flight and I will show you that I am that one guy that has been blessed to love you”, I said. The look on her face vividly showed she was defeated and was left with no option but to cancel the flight. My workmate was left in shock, speechless when she responded positively to my call to cancel the flight. We went back home and stayed indoors for the next 4days and then I led her to the airport and saw her off as she embarked on the vessel the following day.
