I never believed the saying “alianza kuoza mikono” until it happened in my own family. What my brother went through after stealing from a stranger changed the way we look at shortcuts, greed, and disrespect for other people’s property.
My brother was struggling financially and believed luck would come if he acted fast. One evening, he met a stranger at a bus stage who appeared distracted and careless.
In a moment of temptation, my brother stole money and personal items from him and disappeared into the crowd. At first, he celebrated quietly, thinking he had gotten away with it.
Three days later, things began to go wrong. My brother complained of severe pain in his hands. His fingers became weak and swollen, and he could barely hold anything.
We rushed him to the hospital, but doctors could not explain why his hands were failing so suddenly. The pain worsened daily. What we did not know was that the stranger had already taken action.
