This is a real story of a young college girl who passed away last
month in Kisumu. Her name was Atieno . She was hit by a truck.
She used to work at a fish stall.
She had a boy friend named Odhis.
Both of them were truly in love.
They always used to talk on the phone.
You could never see her without her cell phone.
In fact she changed her SIM card
from Safcom to Zain, so both of them could be on the same network, and
save on cost.
She used to spend half the day talking to Odhis.
Atieno's family knew about their relationship. Odhis is still very
close with Atieno's family. (just imagine their love) .
Before she passed away she always told her friends,"If I pass away
please burry me with my cell phone"
She also said the same thing to her parents.
After her death, people couldnt carry her body, A lot of them tried to
do so but still couldn't.
Every one had tried the result was still the same.They just could not
lift her.
Eventually, they called a person who knew one of their neighbours, who
could speak with the souls of the dead
He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly.
After a few minutes, he said "this girl misses something here."
Then her friends told him about her intentions to be buried with her
phone. He then opened the casket and placed her phone and sim card
inside. After that they tried to carry the body... It could be moved
and they carried it into the van easily.
All of us were shocked. Atieno's parents did not inform Odhis of her
passing.
After 2 weeks Odhis called Atis's mom.....
...."Aunty, I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me.
Don't tell Atis that I'm coming home today, I want to surprise her."
Her mother replied..... "You come home first, I need to tell you
something very important."
After he came, they told him the truth. He thought they were playing a
trick . He was laughing and said "don't try to fool me - tell Atis to
come out, i have a gift for her. And please stop this nonsense".
Then they showed him the original death certificate.
They gave him proof . ( Odhis started to sweat) He said... "Its not
true. We spoke yesterday. She still calls me. Suddenly, Odhis 's phone
rang.. "see this is from Atis, see this...." he showed the phone to
the family. all of them told him to answer , he switched to speaker
mode.
All of them heard his conversation. .....
Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming.
It was the actual voice of Atis & there was no way others could
use her sim card since it was nailed inside the casket . They were so
shocked and asked for the person who could speak to soul of the dead.
