His wife started having a hard time, there were  unpaid bills surrounding  her and all this became a wage until she was left with no choice but to give the house to the bank and move in with her brother in Makadara misufini. People started talking about Dr. Mawalla’s death and suspecting someone else to have been the cause, Dr.  Richard it was he who received the case the evidence was strong that Dr. Mawala had to commit suicide knowing the truth will come out anywise. Richard’s life was now in danger people were hunting him down to kill him by any means the some to Kristina the secretary who was forced to move to another town and get a new job for safety. Richard was longing to hear from the professor and it come so. 

He received  a letter from  the professor that a university of Glasgow  in  Scotland was found for him it had the best medical training and professor new one of the Deans of faculty of medicine professor Buchanan. Richard told no one about this regarding the present situation preparations begin for the trip passport, visa health paper and new clothes not arrival in London, Richard told no one about this regarding the present situation preparations begun for the trip passport visa health paper and new clothes. On the arrival in London, Richard was to stay at Hotel Russell booked by the professor. The following day he had time to go around the streets and admire them, he could not believe he was in London. He even compared all he saw with the situation back home in Kondowe. The journey from London to Brighton took one hour and fifteen only to professor house. Richard was pleased with the big, old and clean house credit goes to MacKay who has worked for the professor for over ten years.

Richard stayed with the professor for month before going to Glasgow. Being there was so far the best thing for Richard, the environment the people and him being determined to the best which he did. He made friendship with buncan kaona from ushisha. By the time he was done with his studies professor had advice him to stay in Britain for another two years working under Dr. Taylor fox more advantage professor was now seventy six his health was failing.

Professor had not forgotten Grace Watua who recently had written to him saying she would be in Britain in two months time for the girl guider issue, he wrote back giving details on how to reach Brighton, Richard was well informed of the visit of Grace watua and two others. During the day of the arrival a lot happened that demanded explanation but filled with joy Richard meeting Grace watua who is Hosanna Yoakima. All this was clear after a lot of conversation. Professor found this interesting and great and thought he was not a man of going to church or doing such stuff he had or felt the urge to declare that there was divine providence and that all happen for a reason and it directed from above professor persuaded Hosanna at stay with her husband and so the other two went back.

Arrangements were made for Hosanna to get a job as a midwife where Dr. Richard was working at the Queens hospital. A year after Hosanna gave birth to baby twins called Kenneth and Wolfgang. Richard was astonished by his wife’s character change all this time. At a time when everything seemed well, professor’s health was deteriorating rapidly. One morning Richard received a call room MacKay about professor, together with Hosanna and Dr. Taylor they went hurriedly in Brighten and had a chance to speak to the old man before he died.

The burial was done and the lawyer initiated the will whereby it was declared that half of his property was Dr. Richards, A quarter for Mackay and the rest to the Royal scientific society and the house as a museum of natural history. Having this huge sum of money Richard and Hosanna saw no point in remaining in Britain but rather go back to kondowe and open a hospital. Richard begun purchasing equipments for that and shipped them to Lilungu there months before he and his family left. 

Chapter 6

Back in Kondowe, Dr and Mrs Mwandikaulaya spend the first two months resting and visiting relatives uncle Ndomondo being one of them, he was now advanced in age, it took him time to understand how his marriage (Richard) had gone back to normal, Hosanna and Richard were anxious to see their daughter but Ndomondo told them that she had gone to Ushisha with his friend Joshua Chikawe who has promised to take her to the best schools in Ushisha but as time went by he stopped writing and Ndomondo was now too old to travel to the city. This information did not please Richard and his wife, it only increased their worries and so Richard had to travel to ushisha. Afterwards they visited Aunt Paulina who was very excited to see them and the grandchildren he was also advanced in age.

Richard also went to Namatvi to see father Malyunga who was now the priest in charge he spoke of his intentions to build a hospital some were in Unyanja. At this time saint Theresa hospital was in a despicable condition there were no drugs and no equipments. Father had no objections and advised him to use the same hospital, to renovate it so as to avoid expenses of having to build a new one. He was even free to change the name if he had to. Dr. Hoffman also paid a visit and agreed to help Dr. Richard with some unused equipments back at Ngerenge. When the renovations were complete Dr. Richard begin work immediately with Hosana in the maternity wing. They charged nominal fee only considering the financial status of the people.

Worries about their daughter increased and Richard decided to contact his friend Duncan Kaona who was a doctor in Lundo, the capital of Ushisha asking him to find about the were about of her daughter and the man called Joshua Chikawe in a small town called Chita Dr. Kaona wrote back informing Richard that Joshua chikawe had died of cholera and had claimed many lives in the chisita area of ushisha and that no one knew were Marietta may have gone if she survived the outbreak. This did nothing to away the fears of the mwandikaulayas plane, was the easiest way to reach ushisha but all flights start from lilungo so Dr. Richard had to travel to Lilungu to catch his plane to Lundo. Arriving lilungu Richard stayed at a new built Mapinduzi Hotel after having lunch he felt the very urge to around places he knew since he had worked there before. He noticed some small changes. He saw shop named D.M.S Grocery on the way past the house he had lived then. He saw an old man who was kind of familiar to him but he never bothered and also a woman. From there he decided to go to the port area, approaching the area he heard two people talking one was Mr. Thaidi and the other was Mr. Malipula according to the conversation he was having. They spoke of what had happened to people who did evil now that they believe in God, especially Malipula who was more like confessing.

Richard found it hard to believe that in reality the man and woman he saw was old Dickson Mtekateka and the former G.M of course and the woman was Dr. Mawalla’s wife who later got married to the old Dickson. He pictures the lady he had seen back in the party the elegantly depressed lady standing on the steps on her Kabisela avila. Back in the hotel Richard relived his afternoon experiences and found himself recalling the words spoken by professor Huxley in his death bed that affairs of man are directed from above. The plane took one hour to land at lundo airport. Dr. Kaona was at airport to meet is friend. The following saturday Dr. Kaona felt the need to show him around. He took him to famous night club in Lundo, it was situated in the outskirts of the city. The club was beautiful itself through much of what is said about it. Only the best bands were allowed to play. Through this Richard was able o realise why ushisha was to famous for its dances. Dr Kaona ordered drinks for both of them. He was also a man who coved dancing and could not help the good music. Richard also had to join in with other.
