MANSA (EPISOSE 9)

She instantly felt different. She then suspected that she was
pregnant.
This even worsened her situation. Her being pregnant will
bring about issues she is not ready for.
"I can't be pregnant, God come to my aid" she softly said
and went back to her bed.
She was so much worried about her condition that she
completely forgot about the dream she had.
The following morning Mansa was up early and had already
began her house chores.
Kuu was getting ready to go out when he saw Mansa at the
kitchen. Apparently, they have not been able to speak for
long due to the busy schedule of Kuu.
Somewhere deep inside Kuu, he was a bit jealous of how
Mansa and Chris had suddenly become very close.
He was missing her company even though they lived under
the same roof.
He went to kitchen to say hi to her before leaving.
"Hey Mansa, where have you been hiding yourself?" Kuu
asked.
"I should be asking you that. You are the busy one,
remember?" Mansa said.
"Yeah sis, i will admit that. Anyway, how about me taking
you out tonight? Kuu asked.
"Really? I will love that but you know Mum may not agree.
She said.
"Don't worry, leave that to me, just get yourself ready by the
time i come home tonight", he said and left her at the
kitchen.
Chris was all along eavesdropping when Kuu was talking to
Mansa. He quickly ran back to his room when Kuu was
getting out of the kitchen.
Fortunately for him, Kuu never saw him. An unusual thing
happened that morning soon after Kuu had left for the
meeting.
Chris was in his room when all of a sudden he heard shouts
coming from the hallway.
The person was screaming as if he/she was being
possessed.
Chris got to see who it was, it was his mother.
Mansa had also heard Mrs. Amposah screaming and was
already at the hallway trying to find out what was really
going on.
Mrs. Amposah refused to talk to anyone, she was sweating
and panting as if she has been running a marathon.
She quickly went to the living room and sat there,
completely ignoring everyone.
Mansa and Chris were in shock of the attitude of Mrs.
Amposah, however there was nothing they could do than to
wait for her to calm down.
Chris then rushed to his mother's room to check if there
was anyone there, but to his surprise the room was looking
normal as always.
Before he knew, Mrs Amposah had gone back to her room.
She took a quick shower and without saying a word to
anyone, she hurriedly left home.
This kept Chris and Mansa really worried. What was really
going on?
On the other hand, Chris was excited that he was once again
left alone with Mansa.
This means he will probably take a step further. He came up
with a plan.
Mansa was the type of lady who respected people's
privacy. With this, she never had the guts to either enter into
Kuu or Chris's room.
Chris however wanted to have a way of luring her into his
room that very morning. The pregnancy of his girlfriend
Asabea never bothered him.
He never called her after the confrontation. All his focus
was to get Mansa into his bed.
Mansa on the other hand, went out to get a pregnancy test
kit. She wanted to be sure if she was pregnant or not.
This gave room for Chris to figure out what to do to let
Mansa into his room.
He suddenly covered himself up with a cloth and laid on the
living room sofa. He was faking sickness.
Mansa in no time came to find him lying on the sofa. As
caring as she was, she quickly rushed to him to check on
him.
"what's wrong with you Chris?" She asked.
"i don't really know, i have pains all over and a serious
headache. I'm feeling cold and weak too and the worst of it
is that i can feel my heart beat faster than usual, Mansa i'm
getting sick. " Chris told the biggest lie of the century.
"let me get you some drugs from the first aid kit." Mansa
said.
"Yeah, before you do that, kindly help me to my room" said
Chris.
Mansa helped Chris up, and slowly walked him into his
room.
Chris had succeeded. What was his next plan of action?
Shortly after they went in, Mrs. Amposah came back looking
more calmer now.
Wherever she went must have been very helpful in calming
her down. She opened the door leading to the living room
and found a black polythene bag lying carelessly on the
living room carpet.
She went and took it, only to find out that, it had the
pregnancy test kit in it.
Apparently, Mansa had left it behind when she was taking
Chris to his room.
Mrs. Amposah wondered who it belonged to. She then went
straight to Mansa's room but she was not there.
She went to the kitchen but met her absence. She checked
the whole house but Mansa was no where to be found.
Mrs. Amposah then decided to go and check on his beloved
son who must be worried about her with her strange
attitude earlier that morning.
She went closer to Chris door, and pushed the door opened......
