Akasema amepewa my number na a Deaf lady, wamempata kama amepotea and she won't write anything on paper, so she needs an interpreter. Nikamwambia Niko Nairobi anipe one hour nikuje.
Kufika, nikapatana na makarao wakiwa so curious kuniona. Nikawaambia nimeitwa na OCS Kuna client hapo. Wakafurahi sana. Nikaenda Kwa office nikampata huko. So I asked her what's happening and why she's there yet she's from Nairobi. Tigoni is too far.
So she started signing and I was so new in this industry I almost fainted.
She told me she had a customer who took her services in his car, refused to pay, and threw her out of the car! She didn't know where she was.
I was like "please repeat again" she now started getting irritated and signed "I am a sex worker!" Saa hiyo nimefungua mdomo cos this is the first time I'm hearing this OCS anauliza, "madam, what is she saying?"
Nikamweleza. You should have seen the look in his face
He was so shocked my client started laughing and asked "never seen a Deaf sex worker before?" OCS akafurahi Sasa akaona hapa ice is broken. Akaanza kumuuliza ilikuwa how much
I have never interpreted such comedy ever since. But years later I find how confidentiality is foreign for the Deaf.
Eventually, she was given fare back to Nairobi and nothing couldn't be done to the culprit because she didn't even know his number nor the vehicle's plate.
