"Sasa hiyo ndio faida ulitaka kutoka kwangu. 

"Mimi ni yule ulidharau. Mimi naenda kupumzika. 

"Baki na kidonda cha maisha. Hiyo ndio faida yangu kwa miaka ulinipotezea,” 

( I told you that you are playing with someone you don’t know. 

"This is the gain you wished from me. You despised me. I have gone to rest.
