The year was 1961 I am not sure of thr exact Month and date, but what I know it was during the holidays. We were in our final preparations for the impending wedding.
According to the Bagungu culture, a woman cannot get into a family without the approval of the man's parents
That was the very reason I had to Take Akiiki to Bugungu for approval. We reached Wanseko from Hoima by truck. The rest of the journey was by a bicycle. To test my strength Akiiki insisted that nobody carries her on the bicycle but me.
After traveling for a short distance the bicycle strayed into the sand and down we both went!
On getting up while laughing loudly, she paused a question; is this the strength which is going to protect me when we marry?
