It was a normal night. The guys of A - 1 - 1 were all in the sitting room watching TV and just having a chain of small talk. Just then, Mu'azzam came in. He was smiling, and had a look on his face. The guys saw it, and knew immediately what it meant: Mu'azzam had got some news.
Ameeyn looked at him, mirrored his smile, and said "OK... Update us". This might sound mean, or rude, considering it was the first and only thing he said to Mu'azzam, but when it comes to Mu'azzam and his news, or "update" as he liked to call it, you can call him a bastard, call his dad an alcoholic, his mom a whore, even tell him to go fuck himself, and he'd still update you, after which he might get into a fight with you, depending on what you called him initially. Mu'azzam always tells his news the moment he gets it, doesn't matter to whom. As the story goes, there was a time he updated someone, not knowing he was in fact talking to the guy in his update.
"Did you guys see the Botswana that came?", Mu'azzam said as he found a seat and put his butt down, probably for the first in the day. "They are over 500!"
"WHOA! WHOA! Mu'azzam relax..." said Mubi, "...I heard they're just 150"
"Well even 150 is huge...", replied Mu'azzam, sounding disappointed because he was not the first person to update the guys."...And do you know that the majority of them are girls?", picking up his enthusiasm again, this time hoping he would actually succeed in updating.
"The ladies aren't even pretty", came Mubi again, "And I heard 'yan kauye ne ma"
"Well I saw some guys earlier today...", started Ameeyn "...they looked annoyingly overdressed. Didn't see any ladies though"
"Yeah... the guys are feeling like they are in America or something, wai su sun zo yankee", Udy said, for the first time. "I'll definitely not get along with those kinda guys"
"You know what, I would never go out with any of the girls", said Mubi, looking really serious.
"Why is that?",Ameeyn asked, totally cluesless.
"How can I go out with a Bakauyiya... I'd have to teach her everything, and she'd disgrace me in public, I can't leave with that you know", he came.
"You don't even know them, why the sudden prejudice?", Ameeyn came in defense again.
"Ameeyn whats your problem? If you wanna go out with them, then go ahead... babu wanda zai hana ka", it was Udy coming in Mubi's defense, which was very logical because at that time they were best of pals.
"No. No. No. I didn't say I was gonna... Am just saying...", and he stopped there. That was what Ameeyn always said when he had no point in an argument. "So you're not dating them too?", he was looking at Udy this time.
"NEVER... sai kace wawa"
"And you Kay Z?"
"You know me, if she's not tight, then she's not mine", they all laughed at Kay-Z's statement. It was the first time he said anything since Mu'azzam came, and he said it in his style. Maybe that was why they called him Kay-Z, because of his flows like the rapper Jay - Z, who happened to be his favorite.
They spent the rest of the night talking about future plans and ambitions, non of which contained any Motswana.

10 months later, seated in front of Block C was Kay-Z, looking at a balcony in block D full of girls . A few metres away by the gate, was Mubi in a car admiring every girl that passed, wishing... Well, just wishing. Even closer, inside a room in block A, Udy was sitting on his bed, with a pretty girl beside him. At that moment, Ameeyn came into the room. Udy beemed at him with excitement, the kind Mu'azzam carried 10 months ago, and said,
"Ameeyn, say Hello to my (little) friend"
... The Girls were all Botswana!
