MANSA (SEASON 2) EPISODE 4

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.
“Its unfortunate, we tried all that we could, but
Mansa can’t be able to walk again, it will take a
miracle to make her walk” The Doctor said.
“Oh no my daughter, God will surely answer my
prayers” Mrs Amposah said.
“He will indeed answer, Mansa will walk again.
Doc can we see her now? Obed asked.
“Now about that, did any of you serve Mansa with
breakfast today?” The Doctor asked.
Obed and Mrs Amposah looked surprised with
that question.
“Am afraid no, what is it” Mrs Amposah asked.
“Can i see you in my office Mrs Amposah” The
Doctor asked.
“Yeah sure” Answered Mrs Amposah.
She then followed the Doctor to the office. From
the question the Doctor gave, Obed knew that it
has to do with food poisoning.
He wanted to see Mansa at all cost. Since he
knew her ward, without the notice of anyone, he
slowly entered the ward of Mansa.
There she was, lying in her bed, looking up to the
ceiling. She was lost in thought.
She knew she has been poisoned and that got
her thinking.
Who could have done such a thing to her? What
wrong has she done to anyone to be treated like
this? And who really sent that young Abena girl
who claimed that she was sent by Mrs Amposah.
This were the only few questions among many
which run through her mind as she laid in her
sick bed.
She had no idea that she couldn’t walk. When
Obed walked in, she didn’t even notice because,
she was so lost in thought.
Even though she couldn’t feel her legs move,
amazingly she felt a cold touch on her toes.
That distracted her from her thoughts, she
quickly checked to see who it was. It was Obed.
She smiled as she saw him. Her smile was so
beautiful that it also got Obed smiling.
He came closer to her, looked into her eyes.
Mansa called out his name softly ” Obed”
Obed however, placed his finger on her lips,
shushing her. He slowly bend his head down and
kissed her fore head.
“Mansa, you are well” Obed said.
“I know My God will heal me Obed” Mansa said.
” Don’t talk my dear, just pray and thank God.”
Obed said.
He took out a complementary card from his
pocket and gave it Mansa.
“As soon as you get out of here, go to this
address” Obed said.
“For what Obed, why are you acting strange”
Mansa said.
She was worried about the attitude of Obed. He
was acting really strange and to some extent it
scared Mansa.
“I will be right back, let me check on something
will be back then we can talk” Obed said with a
smiling face.
“where are you going to Obed? Mansa asked.
” Don’t worry, i will be back. Close that beautiful
eyes of yours and pray my dear” Obed said this
and walked out of the ward.
Kuu was at the police station, still praying and
asking God for forgiveness. He felt alone and sad.
He thought he had been rejected by his family.
Ever since he was arrested. Apart from Obed and
his mother’s lawyer, no one had come to visit
him, not even Chris or his own mother.
He felt neglected for his actions. Even though he
had not been convicted yet, already he felt he
has been isolated.
His only comfort was in prayer. As much as he
always prayed to God for forgiveness, he felt
inspired and strengthened after each prayer.
During that morning, one of the policemen came
and called him out. To his surprise, the policeman
told him that he was a free man.
He couldn’t believe his ears. That was impossible,
who could be behind this, he dressed up in the
shirt he wore when he got arrested. As he walked
to the counter he saw Obed there waiting for him.
“Obed, how did you do it?” Kuu asked.
Obed smiled at him and said,
“Just get yourself ready, i will be waiting for you
outside” Obed said and went out.
Kuu was given some papers to sign and as soon
as he was done, he went out to meet Obed.
He got out and Obed was no where to be found,
he looked around everywhere but couldn’t find
him anywhere.
“where could he be? Kuu asked himself.
He waited for awhile to see if he will show up but
he didn’t.
He had no option than to go. The first thing that
came to his mind was to go and see Mansa at the
hospital. He quickly left the police station.
Back at the Doctor’s office, the Doctor had a
lengthy discussion concerning the food poisoning
of Mansa that almost made her lost her life.
He advised that apart from Mrs Amposah and any
other person who she will recommend, no one will
have the privilege to visit Mansa until she is finally
discharged for precautionary measures.
Mrs Amposah agreed to what the doctor had said
and recommended only Riri and Chris. Apart from
them, no one will be allowed to see Mansa.
Right after their discussion Mrs Amposah asked if
she could see Mansa briefly.
The Doctor gave her the go ahead and together
they came out of the office.
“Mum” Kuu called her from behind as soon as
they got out of the office. He had arrived at the
hospital.
His mother was so surprised to see him.
“Kuu, how, was about to come and see you” Mrs
Amposah said.
Kuu shock his head and said
“Am here now, how is Mansa? Kuu asked.
” We are about going to see her, meet the Doctor.
he is the one taking care of Mansa, Doc this my
son Kuu”
They shake hands but was interrupted when
someone called Kuu from the back.
It came from Mansa’s ward. They turned and to
their surprise, there stood Mansa on her two legs
standing in front of the ward.
She looked healthy and was able to walk.
“what, this can’t be? The Doctor said with
amazement.
