Mansa

Episode 20

Before she could think of finishing the whole meal, her tummy began grumbling. She was in severe pain. She shouted for help that got attention of the nurses. A white foamy substance was coming out of her mouth which seemed Mansa had been poisoned.

Her condition looked critical while the pupil of her eyes were disappearing. Her life was in God’s hand now.

The Doctor came in after being prompted about Mansa’s condition.

Obed’s instinct told him that something was wrong with Mansa. In no time he came to the hospital but was prevented from seeing Mansa until the Doctor had finished attending to her.

Obed sat down at the OPD and silently prayed. He knew there was something wrong with Mansa.

Chris came to the hospital to find Obed sitting there. He joined him and asked how Mansa was faring.

“I really don’t know but I learnt the doctor is attending to her at the moment. Where is your mother ?” Obed asked.
“Off to see Kuu”, he answered.

Obed felt this was the right moment to find from Chris if he really reported his brother to the police so He came up with a trick.
“Chris, how could your brother do such a thing to Mansa?” Obed said.
” I really don’t know what came over him. I always do my best as a brother to advise him but i just don’t know why he went to that extreme,” Chris said.
“Such is life. Whoever reported the issue to the police really did well. Mansa will be so happy to hear her rapist has been caught” Obed said.

As childish as Chris was, he revealed that he was the one who reported the case.
“Actually, i did. I can’t afford to see Mansa go through that pains at the expense of my brother’s freedom. Justice cannot be tempered with mercy”, said Chris.
“So you actually placed your brother behind bars, I see. When he actually stood up and defended you when you got involved in drug issues back in the states. He pleaded with your late dad to come to your aid even when your father didn’t want to. I must say, your freedom today is practically by Kuu’s effort, yet this is how you repay him” Obed said
Chris was frightened by the words of Obed.
“I see, Kuu has been talking to you a lot” Chris told Obed.

“Not at all, but Chris, I know everything that’s going on” Obed said.

This frightened him the more as he kept talking.

Chris excused himself. He couldn’t take it anymore.

He walked out and left his presence. As soon as he stepped out of the hospital, he had a call from Asabea.
” I told you not call me anymore,” Chris said as soon as he answered.
” …and do you think i want to? I’m going to make sure you really suffer for what you have caused me, I have already struck and am sure you are going to hear a bad news soon. This is not the end, you will crawl and beg for my mercy”, Asabea threatened him.

As much as he was scared and worried about her threats, he didn’t make it obvious for her to see.

“You can’t do anything to me Asabea, I have you at my fingertips. You obey and listen to me. You belong to me and i choose to do whatever I want with you”, Chris told her.

She laughed and said, “we shall see” and she hanged up on him.

Chris needed to be vigilant and alert for what Asabea may be planning to do.

Mrs Amposah had returned to the hospital and was together with Obed waiting for the doctor.

Due to the confrontation from Obed, she hardly spoke a word to him.

She watched him head to toe from where she was sitting with anger and fear at the same time.

Finally, the Doctor came out. He was actually looking down and worked up. It seemed something had gone wrong.

Obed rushed to him as the Doctor approached Mrs Amposah.

“Doctor any good news?” Asked Mrs Amposah.
“It’s unfortunate, we tried all we could but Mansa………
