MANSA (SEASON 2) EPISODE 7

“Obed, whats the meaning of this? Chris asked.
“The law is just taking its course” Obed said.
Chris was immediately handcuffed right after they had taken the illegal drugs from his possession.
It was now difficult for him to even defend himself, cause this time around he was caught right in the act.
It will only take a very powerful and influential person in the society to come to his aid. But as it stands now, Chris will be put in jail for a long time after he has been found guilty.
They led him away and placed him behind bars with the illegal drugs kept as an evidence.
Mrs Amposah had scheduled a meeting with Riri at a restaurant which was away from their town.
At least, with this location, it was difficult for anyone to find or even trace them.
Riri got there before Mrs Amposah arrived. She was late.
“What took you so long? Riri asked.
The relationship between Riri and Mrs Amposah had changed over the few months ever since they began engaging in such unscrupulous deeds.
Riri had virtually lost all the respect she had for Mrs Amposah.
“Sorry, Kuu was a hard nut to crack” Mrs Amposah said.
“Do you think he knows anything? Riri asked.
“I can’t trust him, but i know what to do. ” Mrs Amposah assured her.
“Ermmm, don’t you think this is the time you have tell him about me? he has not noticed me and he just sees me like any member of the church. ” Riri asked.
“Not yet, but you know I always keep my promise. Besides i have a plan. He is my son. I know him so for this reason, don’t worry.” Mrs Amposah said.
Apparently, Mrs Amposah had promised Riri that, apart from her being paid for her services, She was going to make sure Kuu marry Riri.
Riri was all along in love with Kuu right from when he arrived from the states with Chris.
She had tried everything in her power to get noticed but Kuu on the other hand Kuu never looked at her direction.
This was actually part of the reasons Riri was helping Mrs Amposah out with her deeds aside the money she was earning.
“Mrs Amposah, can i ask you a question? Riri asked
” Sure, go ahead” Mrs Amposah said.
” At least you know why i’m helping you out, you know my intentions and everything. But i don’t understand where you’re coming from, why are you doing all these things? ” Riri asked.
” Young girl, don’t forget your boundaries, you do what i ask of you and pay you for that. I don’t expect such questions….. ” Mrs Amposah said but was interrupted by a phone call from an unknown number.
It was from the police, they informed her about the arrest of Chris her son.
She had to postpone all other matters that was pending to be discussed with Riri and attend to her son Chris.
It was amazing how Mrs Amposah handled this issue. Kuu was arrested right in front of her however she never took the risk to visit him. But with Chris, she had to stop whatever she was doing and go to the police station.
Chris has always been her favorite. She has always treated him specially, than Kuu.
Mansa on the other hand was returning from her mother’s place. Her mother had told Mansa not to reveal whatever she knew about herself and her maternal existence to anyone.
Mansa felt complete. For the very first time she was happy. She was happy that Kuu and Chris are actually her siblings.
What actually got her worried was the fact that Obed was no where to be found. She thought of him and the support Obed had given her. What would have happened if Obed never came into in her life. She would have still remained in darkness.
She then decided to go to where Obed and herself had been staying before her miscarriage.
She found it very difficult to locate the place, but after several hours of looking, she was successful.
To her surprise, she found a gate man at the place.
“wow, Obed has finally decided to get a gate man” She said to herself as she approached the house.
Another thing that amazed her was how the gate man welcomed her too when he saw her, it seems he had known her.
“Madam welcome” Said the gateman.
“Thank you, i’m looking for your boss” Mansa asked.
“Oh Madam, you are my boss, i don’t know how to answer you again oo Madam” said the gate man.
” You are very funny, i’m looking for Obed, the one who lives here” She asked.
The gate looked confused and said.
” Madam, i am the only one that lives here oo, i have lived here alone for the past three years until you showed up last two weeks” The gate man said.
“How come i didn’t see you when i came? She asked.
“Your mother told me you will be coming, i was in my quarters when you arrived. That’s why you didn’t see me. I wanted to introduce myself to you but i later on realized that you had left without me noticing. Forgive me madam, it won’t happen again” The gate man said.
” So you mean, you were all along in this house and i never set my eyes on you? Mansa asked.
“Yes madam, myself i was surprised that you stayed indoors all the time” The gate man said.
” Anyway, the man i came here with, he is the one am looking for” Mansa asked again.
“Madam, you came here with someone? I didn’t see any one with you oo” The gateman said.
As much as the issue seemed strange to Mansa, the gateman was smelling of alcohol, so Mansa didn’t take him serious. She thought he was drunk.
“You know what, I will be back some other time. Take this and use it for something” Mansa said and gave out some amount of money to him as a token and left.
Asabea on the other hand was trying as much as she could to reach Chris but to no avail.
She even thought Chris was trying to pull a fast one on her and that got her upset.
She thought of doing her worst if she didn’t hear from him by the close of the day, little did she know that Chris had been arrested.
She also planned to expose Chris and hurt Mansa in return if she didn’t hear from him. Already, she had tried to eliminate Mansa but Mansa survived that.
Asabea was solely responsible for poisoning Mansa at the hospital all because she felt Chris was having something to do with her.
She came to that conclusion when she met Mansa and Chris in the living room at the time she visited Chris. She read meanings into it when she saw that Mansa had placed her head comfortably on Chris’s lap.
It wasn’t her fault though, she had always noticed Chris cheating on her, and to her this was no different.
It was left with only a matter of time for her next action to be known.
Meanwhile, Elder Asare the church’s financial secretary had also noticed the tremendous withdrawals from the church’s account made by Mrs Amposah.
He had called the attention of the elder that visited Mrs Amposah earlier on and arranged a meeting with him.
Elder Asare had been waiting for long at his office but the other elder was not showing up.
It was a little after an hour had passed the scheduled time, that he arrived.
“Sorry Elder Asare for my lateness” he apologized as soon as he arrived. Without wasting much time, they began with what they had in mind.
“Elder, I called you not for any reason but lately I have noticed some huge withdrawals made by Mrs Amposah without my approval. Its even obvious that the entire board is not aware of this. I think we should call for a board meeting immediately and bring it to their notice” said Elder Asare.
“Elder Asare, there is something you need to know. Mrs Amposah is up to something. I must admit that I know about the withdrawals. I went to her place the other time to inquire but the answer she gave was not to my satisfaction. We need to get to the bottom of this matter,” the elder said.
” Are you sure of what you’re telling me?” asked Elder Asare.
“Absolutely Elder,” he answered
“What do we do then?” Asked Elder Asare.
“Lets call for a meeting with the board members without her notice then we can decide from there,” he suggested.
” That’s a good idea. I will do that as soon as possible” Elder Asare said.
Mansa had gotten home around the same time. She met Kuu alone at home, specifically, in the living room and they hugged each other.
Honestly, they had missed each other. However, Kuu felt it was the right moment for him to confess to Mansa what he had really done to her.
“Mansa, there is something I need to tell you, kindly sit down” Kuu said.
As soon as Mansa sat down, Mrs Amposah came in.
Kuu saw that his mother looked very disturbed and worried. She had been crying ever since she heard that Chris had been arrested.
“Mum, what is it? Are you ok? Kuu asked.
“I’m just coming from the police station. Your brother has been arrested.” Mrs Amposah said.
“What! For what?” Kuu asked
“He was caught in possession of illegal drugs” she said.
“Not again!” Kuu said feeling pity for Chris. He wanted to help even after all what Chris has done to him.
“I just want to be in my room now, I’m not feeling well. Riri will be spending the night with us today. Kuu, show her the guest room when she comes. I will be traveling with her tomorrow morning,” Mrs Amposah said.
“Let me take you to your room,” Mansa said and helped Mrs Amposah to her room.
Kuu didn’t like the idea of Riri spending the night there but Chris’s issue worried him more than anything.
He had no option than to wait in the living room till she comes.
It was getting late and Mansa had already gone to bed except Kuu.
Riri arrived after 11pm with the excuse of being stuck in traffic.
Her outfit perfectly fitted her exposing her beautiful curvy body. She was honestly looking stunning.
For the first time, Kuu saw how curved her body was. Indeed, it was very difficult for any man to ignore such a nice body figure.
Kuu showed her the guest room and went back into his room to sleep.
Around 1:30am, Riri sneaked into Kuu’s room. She was in a silk nightie.
She got closer to Kuu who was far asleep by then and kissed him on the lips gently, waking him up.
Kuu got up and saw Riri. Her perfume smelled all over her. Kuu immediately knew the intention she had. As to whether he would be able to resist that temptation, only time would tell.
