MANSA (SEASON 2) EPISODE 6

Kuu had been listening to their conversation all
along.
His mother wanted to change the subject but
Kuu pushed them to the wall.
“Kuu, you can’t believe what, Riri and i were just
wondering who could be behind the food
poisoning” Mrs Amposah lied.
Kuu was so sure of what he heard. Indeed he
knew his mom was lying about it.
“Anyway, i will be in my room” Kuu said and left
them.
Mrs Amposah and Riri didn’t trust Kuu on that. At
least they needed to be sure that he does not
suspect anything.
“Do you think he heard everything? Riri asked.
” I can’t be too sure about that” answered Mrs
Amposah
“But you should have made us meet somewhere
than your house, now look at what is happening”
Riri said blaming her.
“I thought he was not at home, but don’t worry,
leave it to me, he is my son, i know how to deal
with him” Mrs Amposah assured her.
“You better do” Riri said.
” That reminds me, we need to be very careful
about that Obed guy, he is watching us from a
distance ” Mrs Amposah said.
“who is he, he is really weird, i have never felt
comfortable around him” Riri said.
“I will try and find out where he lives when Mansa
comes” Mrs Amposah said
It was during this time that a knock came from
the door, it was one of the church’s elders.
They had to reschedule their meeting to a later
date. Riri then departed leaving Mrs Amposah and
the church elder.
Mrs Amposah was not pleased about the Elder’s
visit.
She knew that, the elder will only pay her visit if it
has to do with the church’s money.
She nicely welcomed him, and asked of his
mission as is done in Ghanaian custom.
“Well my mission is simple, yet needs to be
addressed. Over some few months, we have
noticed that, there has been huge withdrawals
from the church’s account.
Per our records, those withdrawals were made by
you without any concern of the financial
secretary. Mrs Amposah, we need to talk about
this issue before it comes to the notice of the
board.” Said the Elder.
“Elder, so this is why you came here. Anyway its
good that you’ve prompted me though. You see,
before my husband died, may his soul rest in
peace, there was this church project he was
building that he kept away from you. He wanted
to use it to surprise the congregation at the forth
coming 40th anniversary. And as a wife, i need to
continue what he couldn’t finish. Those
withdrawals were made to support that project
Elder” Mrs Amposah explained herself
“But madam, such things should be done at your
own expense, as far as i’m concerned the church
has finished undertaking all its developmental
projects” The Elder said.
“Elder, i just told you that its a surprise thing, at
the right time you will know what i’m talking
about, would you please excuse me” Mrs
Amposah said and went into her room.
After awhile she came back wih a white envelope
containing money.
“Elder, i really appreciate your efforts and
concern about this issue. Not all men can act in
such a manner, kindly take this as a token from
me” Mrs Amposah said stretching out the money
to him.
” Mrs. Amposah i’m afraid i can’t take this, the
board needs to come in on this” The Elder said
this.
“Of course the board will know, who said anything
about keeping it a secret, this is just not the right
time to involve them. You can’t reject GHC 1000
from me that way. Just use for your
transportation and up keep. I’m very much aware
you need it ” said Mrs Amposah.
The Elder took the money and said
” thank you. I will see what i can do to keep this
away from the board for now, i must take my
leave. ”
He said and went away. Mrs Amposah knew she
had succeeded in shutting him up.
Mansa and Mrs Lokko were still catching up with
the old time.
Mansa was in complete shock when she got to
know that Mr. Amposah was actually her
biological father.
“But Mum, why didn’t he tell me all this, when he
adopted me” Mansa asked.
“You still don’t get it my daughter, he was
protecting you from his wife, Mansa. You really
don’t know what she is capable of” Mrs Lokko
said.
“I can’t believe this, its like a dream, you’re
actually my mother and i have been under my
Father’s care all this while without knowing”
Mansa said. She couldn’t control the tears in her
eyes. She was now beginning to accept the
reality.
“Mansa, i thought, Obed will be with you, Where
is he? Mrs Lokko asked.
” I thought i will be meeting him here myself”
Mansa said.
“Obed hmmm, he really made a lot of revelation
to me, Mansa there is more to your father’s death
than you already know ” Said Mrs Lokko.
“What is it that i don’t know mother, tell Me”
Mansa desperately asked.
“Who is Riri? She is the main pivot of this” Mrs
Lokko said.

” I don’t understand Mum. Riri is an usher at our
church and is very committed to her duty,”
Mansa said.
” You won’t understand my daughter. Don’t
worry, that moment will come. For now it will be
very hard for you to take it, I’m just happy my
daughter has finally returned to me. Look, let me
take you home and show you around” Mrs Lokko
said.
They got ready and left the office.
Chris on the other hand had an offer for his drugs
to be bought at GHC 80,000. That was higher
than usual.
He was up for it. He agreed to meet the person to
seal the deal, get his money and eventually pay
Asabea off.
Chris then went home from Asabea’s place. He
was unaware that Kuu had been released.
As soon as he got home, he had a phone call..
The call was from the police headquarters where
Kuu was arrested.
On Phone:
CID: “Mr Chris, Good day. ”
Chris: “Yeah, Good day, how may i help you?”
CID: ” I just called to inform you that Kuu was
released this morning.”
Chris: ” What! How could you do such a thing?
Who authorized that?”
CID: ” We found no evidence against him.
Besides, the victim has not testified that or made
any formal report.”
Chris: “No! no! you can’t let such a criminal to be
walking around like that. What about the phone
lines that were cut off, was that not enough?”
CID: ” We are going to look into it but until then,
he is not our primary suspect. I will let you get
the updates of whatever happens but until then,
bye.”
The CID hangs up on him.
Chris was not happy about the release of Kuu. It
was now obvious that he was the one who made
the report. .
“I see you are not happy about my release Chris.
So you actually made the report for me to be
arrested,” Kuu said standing at the door leading
to his room. Chris all along didn’t notice that he
was there and was actually listening to his
conversation.
Chris was surprised to see him there. He didn’t
know how to cover up any more.
“What were you thinking of? You were supposed
to meet her and tell her your feelings and not to
rape her” Chris said.
“How could you? Upon all that I’ve done for you?
Tell me, was the handkerchief really from Mansa
and who was behind the phone lines being cut
off? As far as I’m concerned, I never did that.
Chris, did you frame me up or what? Kuu asked.
“You can think of whatever you wanna think. I
wonder how Mansa will feel when she finds out
you were the one who put her into this mess”
Chris said and walked out on him.
Kuu found it very hard to believe. How could his
own brother do such a thing looking at what he
had done for him in the past.
What he was worried about was how Mansa will
take it when he confesses to her.
Mrs Amposah got out of her room when she heard
Chris’s voice. It seemed she was going out,
looking at how she had dressed.
“I thought I heard Chris’s voice,” Mrs Amposah
said.
“He is in his room” Kuu answered with a bitter
tone. That was unusual of him. His mother
noticed it.
“What is wrong with you boy?” she asked.
“Nothing” Kuu answered straight forward.
“Why are you giving me such straight forward
answers? Remember I’m still you mother. I
demand some respect” Mrs Amposah said.
Kuu ignored her, he was just mute and kept
watching her as she talked.
From his actions, Mrs Amposah knew that Kuu
really heard something from the conversation she
had with Riri earlier on.
“Anyway, I’m going for a meeting. I will see you
when i get back” Mrs Amposah said.
“Should i drive you? Kuu asked since he was the
one who usually does that even though they had
a family driver.
“No, you need some rest. The driver will drive me”
she said and left.
Kuu instantly knew that she was up to
something. He however knew what to do.
Mrs Lokko and Mansa had arrived at her house.
Mansa was surprised to see that the house was so
huge that, you could easily forget the way in
trying to locate your room.
The compound was a large area with a lot of cars.
Indeed Mrs Lokko was really a wealthy woman.
From the look on Mansa’s face, Mrs Lokko could
tell that she was amazed by what she saw.
“Mansa, welcome to your home. This is my house
and as matter of fact, your house. All i have
belongs to you. God blessed me with all this after
i ventured into exportation of our made in Ghana
goods. Mansa my daughter, i have been building
all this wealth for you to take over some day” Mrs
Lokko said
“Mum, I’m just happy to have found you mother.
” Mansa said
“Listen my daughter , no body needs to know
who you are or even of my existence. You will go
back and anytime you need something, just call
me” Mrs Lokko said.
“But why mother?” Mansa said
“The more you know, the more i put you into a
very big risk. Trust me, the right time will come”
Mrs Lokko said.
Meanwhile Chris was also getting ready to go and
do his drug transaction. He had agreed with the
buyer to meet him in the next hour.
He dressed up and without telling anyone, he left
the house and went to the meeting point .
He got to the place 10 minutes and met no one.
It was an uncompleted building in an isolated
place. It was secured enough to transact such an
illegal business.
He tried calling the buyer’s number but the
phone was off. After some few minutes, he head
footsteps approaching him.
It was the buyer. He turned around and to his
amazement it was Obed.
Before he could open his mouth to talk, a whole
bunch of police men started coming out from
thier hide out. He was surrounded by the
policemen who were all along in ambush.
