Who is She?, 10- Nilikuwa Na Shughuli

Hivyo unamaanisha kuwa wameishi pamoja kwa nusu mwaka? Do you mean they have lived together for half a year?

Basi wao ni wapenzi. They must be boyfriend and girlfriend.

Sijui, Ndugu yako aliacha lini kukuandikia? I have no idea, When did your brother stop writing to you?

Ni wiki chache tu tangu alipoacha kuniandikia. It has only been a few weeks since he stopped writing.

Unaona? You see?

Huyu msichana sio sababu yeye aliacha kukuandikia barua pepe. It is not because of this girl that he stopped writing emails to you.

Hiyo ni kweli nadhani. That is true, I guess.

Aliniandikia mara kwa mara hadi wiki chache zilizopita. He wrote to me regularly until a few weeks ago.

Kwa nini aliacha basi? So why did he stop then?

Hebu tujaribu kuchunguza kilichotokea. Well let's try to figure out what happened.

Alikutumia barua pepe kwa mara ngapi? How often did he email you?

Hilo ni ngumu kusema. That is hard to say.

Aliandika mara nyingi sana. He wrote quite often.

Je, Wewe ulijibu kila wakati? Did you always answer him?

Wakati wote nilijaribu kumjibu kwa haraka iwezekanavyo. I have always tried to answer him as soon as possible.

Lakini ni mara ngapi hukumjibu? But how many times did you not answer him?

Ilitegemea na kiasi cha kazi niliyokuwa nayo. It depended on how much work I had to do.

Uliandika kwa barua pepe kila wakati? You always wrote by email?

Ndio, tuliendelea kuwasiliana kwa barua pepe. Yes we kept in touch by email.

Sikuhitaji kujua ambapo aliishi. I did not need to know where he lived.

Ulipokea barua pepe ngapi kutoka kwake kila mwezi? How many emails did you get from him every month?

Nilipata barua nyingi kila mwezi. I got lots of email every month.

Nilifurahi kila wakati nilipata barua pepe zake. I was always excited to get his emails.

Mbona hukujaribu kumtembelea mbeleni? Why did you not try to visit him before?

Nilikuwa na shughuli. I was busy.

Na zaidi ya hayo, nilidhani bado alikuwa shuleni. Besides, I thought he was still away at school.
