2024-10-29 19:42:56"Ah!, Kwame what is the preschool teacher doing here?" Serwaa asked she joined them at the restaurant.
"She's my guest, and she has a name." He added.
"Let's not talk about that, why did you keep me waiting for half an hour? Some of us have work to do o." He angrily said.
"Mr Man, I won't have you insult me because of your chicken change, I have men who are willing to spend on me and not stingy men like you wai." She barked.
"Abeg, give me my money and let me get out of here." She barked as Kwame gave her a whopping sum of Gh¢100,000,00.00 making Akosua open her mouth wide as he signed the check.
"If you need me, give me a call ya." She took her purse and left shaking her ass in the process.
"Now where were we?" He asked as they continued with their conversation.
*****************************************************************
I have to make a plan for these girls. Serwaa, Akosua, Amma, Nella and the rest of them. I need to see who would love me for who I am and not what I am. He thought to himself as he sipped on his cold beer. Maakua had gone to her grandma's place for the weekend.
They seem to be close to me because of my money. Let's see who would be willing to stay beside me and help when I become a pauper. He smiled.
"Kwame, I don't like this o, but if it will make you find a good wife then I am okay with it, you aren't getting younger by the way." His mother said through the phone.
"Trust me Ma, I'd be fine but I would want Maakua to be staying with you while I execute this plan. I don't want her to suffer. She's my heartbeat." Kwame explained.
"I understand Kwame, but what of school?" She questioned. "Don't worry, I'd be taking her to school in a taxi and after school, I'd bring her over." He said.
"Okay son, but tread carefully and all the best, You would need it."
"Thanks, Ma." He smiled as he called his office to execute the plan.
"Akosua, have you read the papers today ?" Abena asked rushing to her friends class as the siren sounded for recess.
"No, Abena." She said as they sat at the teacher's table to go through the paper. The headlines read "THE CEO OF TULLOW GHANA IN POLICE CUSTODY FOR COVERING UP FOR HIS ACCOUNTANTS FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES."
"Ow, but must they hold him in remand? Can't they talk about it within the four corners of the organization?" Imelda asked restlessly.
She tried calling his phones but they were off. "Miss Gazzey, can you take care of my class for me? I have an issue I need to take care of." Imelda pleaded.
"Of course I will, " She smiled as Akosua picked her bag and hurried out of the office. She stopped a taxi and then directed him to the police station where he was held custody. As soon as she saw him behind the counter, her heart broke. His eyes looked blood red, his hair was messy and was bruised.
She talked to the commander about the issue and was granted bail because of how good a person he was to them.
"What happened?" She asked as She helped button his shirt because he was too weak to do so.
"I'd explain later, let's go." He said as they stopped a taxi and entered directing him.
"Abena, where's Maakua?" Akosua called as she remembered that the little girl was not with them.
"Calm down, Akosua she's here with me at home." Abena consoled as Akosua sighed a relief.
"Thank you, we'd be right there." She added hanging up as the driver stopped in front of her house. She told them to wait while she went inside for Maakua and a couple of things for herself.
"Please, let's Go." She said directing him to Kwame's house. She paid off the driver and then helped Kwame down, then carried a sleeping Maakua in her hands with her luggage as they headed inside. She put Maakua to sleep and then headed to Kwame's room to help him.
After his shower, she prepared his well-garnished indomie(noodles) since that was the only food available. She helped him to eat, while none of them said anything to another.
After the meal, she gave him drugs and then helped clean his wounds. She left his room to the guest room after he fell asleep to rest.
How could all these happen within a few days? She thought to herself. She checked the time and it was midnight. She had to rest even though the next day was a public holiday.
Akosua entered the kitchen with her robe around her. "Good morning." She greeted the people at the table. "Good morning Akosua, this is My mom. She's here to pick Maakua to live with her for the rest of the week." He explained. "Okay, hello ma, nice to meet you." She greeted.
"Hello, Akosua...thank you for yesterday Kwame told me. May God bless you." She stated. "Oh ma, don't mention it". She added as Mrs Boateng took Maakua and Akosua helped put the little girl's luggage in the car. The little girl hugged her friend as she sat in the car and the driver driving off.
"Are you okay?" She asked Kwame as she walked into the kitchen sitting beside him.
"Hmmm, I'm just confused and shocked at the whole thing. The reports he used to bring didn't show anything of such that I was accused of being part of or knowing. They didn't even listen to me, they just handed me over to the police and relieved me of my position.
Closing all my accounts, seizing all my cars except the house which they left for me. Akosua, I'm doomed, heeeeei!" He exclaimed as he put his hands in his head.
"Hmm, Kwame we thank God for your life. Everything will fall in place just you wait." She said as Serwaa called his phone.
"Hey babe, I'm still waiting for the money you promised." She whined. "Ah! Serwaa didn't you see the news?"He asked.
" What has that got to do with me?" She asked as Akosua left the kitchen to the guest room.
"Are you serious Akosua?" Abena asked disbelievingly. "Yes, I am. He's lost practically everything." She explained.
"I hope you're taking good care of him?" Abena asked. "Of course I am, this is when he needs me the most and I'm not going to abandon him." She explained.
"Serwaa, I'm finished I've lost everything I own." He cried. "My friend, stop joking and then wire me the money." She added almost losing her temper.
"Hah! Serwaa, I'm serious I don't have any more money." He concluded.
"Okay o, get your poverty-stricken self off my line, never call me again. Fool. Ad3n aaa(what's the problem) I've lost everything mtchwwww." She added as she hung up.
"What's wrong?" Akosua asked fully dressed holding her bag. "Its Serwaa, she just insulted me and hung up. Warning me to never call her again." He said. "Hmm, its fine don't stress yourself." She stated.
"Are you going somewhere?" He asked Akosua. "I'm going to get more of my clothes from my house and then a few foodstuffs. I'd be back soon" She told.
"Okay, be safe." He added smiling as Akosua left.

Abena asked her friend as she entered the class to speak with her during recess. Akosua, how are things going with Tenison? "Hmm, things have only gotten worse, oh, he can't afford Maakua's fees anymore, so she went to live with her grandmother for a while while he figured himself out. Just one meal a day, Kwame can't afford it, o.” She complained to her friend in a trembling voice. She was affected by the whole thing--it hurt her to see the man she was head over heels in love with suffering this way. What hurt the most was that he would not allow her help. But she forced her way to him at times. "I hope things turn around for his good," she added as they talked for a while, then she left the class.

"Eiii...if it's not the preschool teacher and the good Samaritan." Serwaa teased as she met Akosua at the wedding of one of their SHS classmates. "Serwaa, how may I help you ?"

"Kwame, you aren't getting any younger o. You need a wife. Maakua needs a mother. Enough of this game already and choose a wife. Besides all the women you were testing have all left excluding Akosua. She's been there since day one." Kwabena advised as they drank beer."You're right Kwabena, but she's way below my status. Imagine what people will say about me marrying a common preschool teacher." Kwame retorted."Does it matter, Kwame does it matter? My fiancée Verna owns a saloon, she's a hairdresser and I'm happy with that. Both my parent's consent of her and I'm cool. She makes money, so do I. We are cool like that." He said."Don't let society make you lose a virtuous woman. Who could have done what she did for you?" He asked. "Just name one woman who can do this except your mom." He added waiting for his friend's answer."There you have it. Don't wait until it's too late.

“Morning ɔdɔ(Morning love)" Kwame greeted Akosua who lay beside him peacefully. He had spent the night with her when he came visiting the previous day. They were sneaking around like two teenagers in love. “Hey, how was your night?" She lay smiling at her. “It was wonderful, I enjoyed you." He added moving close to kiss her as she moved her head. “Morning breathe." She added as she walked towards the bathroom to brush her teeth. It read 4:30 am. He had to prepare for work and drop Maakua at school. Even though she was well, the school had given her a two week grace period before she resumed.
