Mansa

Episode 19

Mrs Amposah pleaded but they ignored her completely and took Kuu away.

Mrs Amposah got furious again. She made claims that Mansa was framing up against her son Kuu.

She didn’t care the fact that Obed was there, she kept on accusing her.

Obed had enough of what Mrs Amposah was doing. She was exaggerating too much.
Obed then decided to put her on her toes since he now stood face to face with her and Riri.

“Mrs Amposah, you always amaze me when you talk like that, perhaps since Riri is here, i guess this is the time for you to explain the churches money you have been paying into her account” Obed said.

Their faces changed right away but they were saved by the bell.

The doctor came and interrupted their conversation.

“Mrs. Amposah” The Doctor called.
“Yes Doc, how is she? She asked.
“unfortunately it was quite unpredictable, we didn’t see it coming, but we will do the best that we can” The Doctor said.
” Doctor, i don’t understand you, what are really saying” Obed interrupted and asked.
“Somehow, Mansa’s have a spinal cord problem which has affected her movement. We are still monitoring her situation, to see what we can do” The Doctor said.
“Doc, can i see her now, please? Obed asked.
“Am afraid no, but you can come around tomorrow morning, am sure it will have been better by then” The Doctor said and left them.

Obed was so hurt upon hearing Mansa’s condition. Mrs. Amposah and Riri appeared to be concerned but Obed made it obvious that he does not trust them.

“Are you happy now, you two did a very good job, but always remember that there is no place for darkness where light prevails” Obed said and walked out on them.

Mrs Amposah and Riri began to fear him, they planned on digging into his personal stuff, background and where he really comes from.
“Riri, i think you should follow him and get to know where he resides, he is on foot so you can catch up with him, hurry and follow him, i will meet you up at my house. ” Mrs Amposah instructed Riri.

Riri did as she had said but to her surprise, Obed was no where to be found. She asked some of her nurse colleagues but they said they haven’t seen him pass by.

That was strange, because Obed just left their presence less than 3 minutes ago, how is it possible that there was no trace of him.
Both Mrs Amposah and Riri left to their separate houses.

Mrs Amposah called Chris to work out on the case of Kuu with their personal lawyer.

Obed on the other hand went to the station that evening to check on Kuu. It was past visiting hours but somehow the authorities gave him the chance to see him.

From the look on Kuu’s face you could tell that he had been crying thoroughly.

As soon as Kuu saw Obed, he was surprised to see him come alone. If anything at all, it should have been his mother. However he was just concerned about how Mansa was faring.

That was the first question he asked.
“Obed, thanks for coming, how is Mansa doing? Kuu asked.

“She is going to be fine, her situation is quite complicated, but trust my words, she is going to be fine, we just have to keep praying hard” Obed advised and assured him.
“Hmm, its all my fault, its all my fault. I don’t think i’m worthy to come before the Lord, even to ask for forgiveness” Kuu said.
“Kuu, i know you have regretted your mistakes, just pray to God and ask for forgiveness. I think you should rather worry about the one who reported the case to the police” said Obed.

” I really don’t know, i don’t know the people who Chris may have told this to, i don’t trust him so much when it comes to keeping secrets” Kuu said.
” what if he was the one? ” asked Obed
” Oh, that won’t be possible, i can bet my life on it. My brother can never do such a thing” Kuu said.
“You think so? Be very careful, anyway, i will do my best to get you out of here in no time, all you need to do is to pray, and i’m certain everything will be ok” Obed assured him and left the station.

Kuu was however strengthened by the words of Obed. He spent that praying and asking God for forgiveness.

Early next Morning, a young lady arrived at the hospital before visiting hours.

She was made to see Mansa since she was bringing her breakfast.

Mansa was awake when she came. She had never set her eyes on the lady before.
“Good morning Mansa, my name is Abena, your mum asked me to bring you your breakfast” she said.
“How do you know my mum? Mansa asked.
“Am in the same church with you, you really don’t know me but i’m a very good friend to Kuu and Chris” she said.

Mansa was very easy to convince. The lady left the food there and went.

Mansa took the basket containing the food, opened it and began eating, forgetting to even pray.

Before she could think of finishing the whole meal, her tummy began grumbling. She was in severe pain. She shouted for help that got the attention of the nurses. Before they knew it, a white foamy substance was coming out of her mouth. Its seems Mansa has been poisoned.
