IN YES I DO, EPISODE 6, one thing led to another and here we are with a collapsed marriage that was arranged. Doing something that will live with you for eternity for other people except yourself is a precursor for crumbling of many relationships.
Mzee Baraza thinks that he could still buy love and he didn't first check his bank balance. Bringing Fari to the same house as a second wife proved chaotic and would never have worked. He stays with first wife already. And she too fled.
But this marriage failed because it lacked foundation. Baraza helped Mzee Michael to leave jail, we're told. Then as a way of showing appreciation, it's like he gave away his daughter to the sponsor of his freedom. "I am grateful he got me out of jail but he cannot have his way all the time", Mike laments.
But Fari has other plans. Sammy, the immediate ex-boyfriend is candid to Fari. "Hii kitu we jikaze for the sake of your parents. It hurts. It should not be like that but what will we do?" , he asks.
While Fari's parents are complicit in selling their daughter to a hurtful man, it looks like she will close many chapters in looking for love. Tamara advises her not to get back to Sammy since he was never there for her when she needed him the most.
Away from much drama about relationships and their imminent failure, we get to have a glimpse of what friends are for. Like Tom tipping his friends about fashion. He tells Sammy that his chest is supposed to be for those who should see it. Otherwise, utashtua wasichana. Or a truthful one-liner he gets from Shikwekwe thus: Wasichana watakumaliza.
