Nyanga
He is very frustrated when he cannot get his way through he yelled his wife’ name and ordered her to come and answer to him;
“Penda come here and now!” He yelled.
Penda
She took her time and came and answer;
“I am here.”
Nyanga
“After all the warnings I gave you, you still went to work?”
Penda
“Yes didn’t I tell you am going to work? Did I mince my words?”
Nyanga
He pulled Penda and punched her down;
“Are you mad? Do you forget me?”
Penda
She took time got up and before he could realize the new Penda the Taekwondo Champ landed her two feet at his cheeks in succession downing him to the floor he felt a sharp pain, yelled and fell unconscious.
Saange Miira
She came in time and witnessed the scenario;
“Is this my mom? Why do you fight back to teach the bully a lesson you used to cry like a child and he used to treat you as one since I know myself I am very proud of you mom what is good for the goose should be good for the gander.”
Penda
“No more crying it does not solve my problem? Tit for tat and from henceforth it will be like this he bullies and I’ll reciprocate I don’t care about society anymore it condones men bullying women but when we fight back we are scorn he will continue until he kills me then society salutes him is that not double standard? Mr. Nyanga your wife has transformed for the better now situate yourself in this new relationship.”
She held his face and mocked at him;
“Welcome to the new day!”
Penda then administered first aid to him then drove Nyanga to a private clinic.

Nancy
“it is untrue his Penda brought him to hospital half unconscious she said she engaged Taekwondo on him when he assaulted her. Penda brought him to hospital.” Nancy emphasized.
Nyanga
He was embarrassed with telling the truth and chided the Nurse Attendant and drove her away;
“Busy body who asked your opinion go away I’ll asked Matron to send me another Nurse Attendant I don’t like you.”

He laughed at him and advised his friend;
“Don’t be mad at your Nurse Attendant she is right you are ashamed to tell the truth reassess your marriage and take decision as a man take the bull by the horn my dear friend no wife will take me for a ride I’ll kill you before you kill me.’” He bluffed.
Nyanga
“Nancy is a gossip my wife has never beaten me up she is lying I’ll influence the Matron to fire her or I’ll stop my family from patronizing their clinic.”
Bully
“Please don’t do that to a poor woman who is trying to feed her family a poor work man blames his tools. Organize your diva of a wife and daughter and bring them to book neither my wife nor my children dare me.”
