Nina and Mesh of Wapendwa Muziki have gotten candid about their relationship, reminiscing the initial days of their marriage.
The young couple, who are gospel artists as well as content creators, has been married for three years, after dating for 8 years.
In an interview with Mungai Eve, Mesh admitted that his wife is so shy that she even can’t display her affection for him in public.
“Imagine kwa harusi tulihave kuforciwa kukiss, ‘rudieni, hako kengine hakajakuwa kazuri,'” Mesh revealed.
Nina however said that she doesn’t like public display of affection(PDA) noting that it is like giving people too much.
“As long as you are getting it in private, it is okay, you don’t need to show people some things. Personally I don’t like that,” she said.
Her husband was however adamant that she needs to loosen a bit on that, saying that it had an impact on their early days of marriage when it came to intimacy.
“Acha nikwambie danger ya hio, vile tulioawana tulikuwa hata tunaogopa kutoa nguo. Kukataa PDA is very bad. Imagine hio time ananiambia we toa wa kwanza, nini mbaya na wewe” he said.
“We got married when we were virgins and we are proud of that,” the couple said.
Mesh however advised Nina to stop being afraid of PDA and she said she would think about it. Mesh went on to explain consequences they suffered for fearing PDA.
“Honeymoon, this is what happened, tumeenda honeymoon Mombasa na ndege for the first time. Tumevumilia for 8 years. It was our very first tunafaa ‘Kufungua biblia, do the did’ Imagine tumefika kwa room yaani hatujui tuanze hata aje,….we toa toa, we anza,” he explained.
According to Mesh, they are still worried and wouldn’t even engage in the marital act outside their home.
“For me there are just places that you aren’t supposed to do such things. Fanyia kwako kwa nyumba, why should you go to people’s bedrooms doing those thing. On that bed, there is a probability that another couple used it. I just don’t like it,” Nina said.
“The reason why am insisting on this(PDA), is because our first year and a bit of our second of marriage, alikuwa mpaka na time, juu ya uoga ati inafaa ikuwe ni usiku, stima izimwe. Tukishanini leo, kesho tunaruka, ndio nijue hii kitu ilikuwa deep, alikuwa mpaka na structure ananiweka nitafute ngoma,” he recounted.
Nina however defended herself saying her choices were based on the fact that she loves romantic atmospheres.
“The point was, I used to prefer, but not always. He is lying. I used like the night vibes plus mood but Ichanged. I also it was something that I wasn’t used to. I had never done this before so I was trying to get used to it. It was even very scary for me,” Nina said. ” Coz you know the first times when you are a virgin, the pain and all. It was bad, kwanza he first month, uchungu kila saa but with time ndio nilianza kuzoea, so beb, please stop judging me.”
