Carried over by the excitement of playing in the first Charity Cup of his life, the Amazulu player does something he never ever dreamed of doing. He initiates a move on a lady he has been fearing for the past 2 years, a lady he had been admiring but avoiding eye contact with let alone voicing out an innocent 2 letter word ‘hi’. Previously, Litha would pass that lady and never look back as if he would turn into a pillar of salt like Lot’s wife in the bible. But not on that day, maybe Litha was also influenced by the presence of his captain Pere Ariweriyai when he uttered the words: “Bongi, if you were not in a hurry I would walk with you on your way home”. Surprised by the confident voice of the shy Litha, the pretty Bongi pauses for a while, turns her heard, smiles at Litha and says: “I am not really in a hurry, you can join me”. A stray bullet shot from a gun of reality stroke Litha straight into his heart. His knees trembled with fear, he wished the world could tear apart so he can go inside its hole and hide forever. He prayed for the wind to reverse his words. As he was going through those scary thoughts, Pere padded him on the shoulder and whispered to his ears: “Litha, the lady is waiting”. If you thought Usain Bolt was the fastest man in the world, then you did not see Litha Nxambi on that day. Chest up in the air, head facing the sky, eyes fully focusing on the road, All Star tekkies barely touching the ground, he left Pere eating dust at the back…
