MANSA (SEASON 2) EPISODE 8

Kuu got up and saw Riri. He could smell her perfume all over her. Kuu immediately knew the intention she had. As to whether he will be able to resist that temptation, only time will tell.
Her kiss was very sensual and to be honest Kuu wanted more of it. When Kuu saw her,he said
“Riri, what are you doing here? This is not right” Kuu said.
Riri shushed him by placing her hand on his lips right after which she landed another kiss on his lips.
It was getting intense as they began feeling each other’s breath.
Suddenly, Kuu came to his senses. As difficult as it was, he pushed Riri away.
Riri tried coming back towards him, but he stood aside and stopped her.
“Kuu, don’t do this to me. I love you. I have loved you all this while but you have never noticed me. I really love you” Riri said.
Surprisingly, there were some form of sincerity in her words.
Riri was truly being truthful. She was really in love with Kuu.
Kuu noticed and went closer to her. He then placed his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
“Riri, how come you didn’t tell me all these?”, he asked.
“That’s why I’m here now Kuu. I have never loved any man like this before and I’m willing to do anything to prove this” Riri said.
Kuu was very gentle to her. He then asked her to sit by his side so they could talk.
“I don’t doubt what you’re telling me but I don’t wan’t to take advantage of this moment and have something to do with you, that will hurt you more. I have already done that to someone I really cherish and I’m yet to write up my wrongs. I don’t want you to go through the same. Let’s find an appropriate time so we talk about it, please Riri. ” Kuu said.
Riri began feeling bad. She noticed Kuu was a good person. She began feeling bad about herself.
“Thank you Kuu” she said and stood up to go.
Before she stepped foot outside the door, she turned and said to Kuu, “I have something to tell you. Make time for us then we can talk about it,” she said and left the room.
Unfortunately, as soon as she stepped out of Kuu’s room and shut the door behind her, she ran into Mansa who was by then going to the kitchen for some water.
Mansa was surprised to see her come from Kuu’s room. Riri didn’t say anything to her. She just went straight into the guest room.
Somehow Mansa was hurt by what she saw. She didn’t go to the kitchen again for the water. She initially wanted to confront Kuu about what she had seen but went into her room and harboured everything.
Early the next morning, Kuu was getting ready to go and see his brother Chris at the police station.
He still loved his brother though Chris had always paid him back with bitterness.
It was at this moment when he heard a knock on his door, it was his mother.
She came in and found out that Kuu was getting dressed up.
“Where are you going this early morning? Mrs Amposah asked.
“To see Chris, I want to see if I can get the lawyer to get him out before its too late” Kuu answered
” Don’t worry my son. I got it covered. I will be meeting the lawyer today” Mrs Amposah said
“I thought you said you were travelling this morning with Riri” Kuu asked.
” Yeah, that’s the more reason why I’m here. Where is Riri? I went to the guest room but she is not there” Mrs Amposah said
” I haven’t seen her this morning. Can she leave without telling you?” Kuu asked.
“No, I don’t think so. Let me try reaching her on phone” Mrs Amposah said and walked out of the room.
Before Kuu stepped out of his room, he had a phone call from an unknown private number.
He picked up only to find out it was Obed.
“Hey Obed, where are you? I have been looking for you since yesterday” Kuu said.
” I’m sorry Kuu. I had something I needed to take care of. I just want to tell you not to go anywhere within the next hour, someone wants to see you” Obed said.
“Me? Who is that? Kuu asked.
“Don’t worry about that. Just don’t go anywhere in the next hour. By the way tell Mansa that she will soon hear from me” Obed said and quickly hanged up.
Kuu couldn’t call back because the number was privatised.
Kuu went straight into Mansa’s room. She was reading her bible when he got there.
“Yes, how may I help You” Mansa said in a very hash tone as soon as she saw Kuu enter.
” Wow, seems you had a bad night” Kuu said when he noticed her tone was very harsh towards him.
That was unusual of her but he ignored it.
“Indeed it was bad. What are you doing in my room?” Mansa asked.
“Cool down sis. What has come over you? I just came to check up on you and I also have a message from Obed” Kuu said.
” Whats the message?” Mansa asked straight away.
” Well, he called me just some few minutes ago. He said you will soon hear from him” Kuu gave her the message.
” Ok. Is that all? Mansa asked
“Ermmm Yeah. Mansa why are you….. ” Kuu asked but Mansa didn’t make him finish.
“I’m going to shower so later” Mansa said and walked out on him into the bathroom.
Kuu felt that perhaps Mansa had somehow gotten to know that he was the one behind the rape.
He went out of her room and headed to the living room.
Mrs Amposah was on her way out when he got there.
Apparently, she had not heard from Riri ever since she left the house without her notice that morning.
She was on her way to look for her whereabouts, then later rush to the police station to see Chris.
About 45 minutes after she left, the gate man came into the living room where Kuu was seated.
“Sir, someone is at the gate looking for you” He said.
” Who is that? Kuu asked.
” Sir, I really don’t know” he said.
“Ok, bring him in” Kuu instructed him.
The gate man did accordingly as instructed by Kuu.
He came back with the visitor. Kuu was so surprised to see such person in the house because the visitor was not looking familiar in any way.
“Good day sir. I’m looking for Kuu” said the visitor.
“I’m the one madam” Kuu said.
” You are Kuu? Oh my God, you look exactly like your father” said the visitor.
“Ermm excuse me madam, who are you? Kuu asked.
“I’m your mother, my son” she said.
Kuu looked surprised as he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“What did you say? Am sure you are in the wrong house ” Kuu asked.
“I know where I am. I brought you here” She said
This was getting weird for Kuu. He looked more confused and offered her a seat.
As she sat, Kuu asked her,” Madam, how do you mean you are my mother? Am sure you know who my family is. Kuu asked.
“My son, I can explain only if you give me the chance to” She asked.
” Ermm can you hold on, let my sister join us, perhaps she can understand you more than myself” Kuu said and without waiting for her responds, called Mansa out.
Mansa, who was already upset with him came still looking angry.
” I beg of you, can you please join us” Kuu asked.
Without answering him, she greeted the woman and sat down.
“Thank you” Kuu said thanking Mansa.
“Madam, you can now explain yourself ” Kuu told her.
” I personally raised you up until you were a year old. Your father died when you were eight months old and after, things became very difficult for me. I couldn’t play the role of a mother. I barely had enough food to eat not to talk of feeding you……” She said but Kuu interrupted her
“Hold on there, you said my father died when I was eight months old? kuu asked.
“Yes, my son” She answered.
“Meaning you’re claiming that the late Mr Amposah is not my father? Kuu asked.
“Yes my son. Your biological father died of cancer” She said.
Mansa was completely lost by what was going on. She didn’t understand anything but she could tell from the demeanor of the woman that she was being truthful and sincere.
” What is she talking about, Who is this Kuu? Mansa asked looking more concerned now.
“That’s exactly what I want to find out. She says she is my mother Mansa. ” Kuu said
“What? Mansa said with shock.
“Let’s hear you madam” Kuu said then she continued with her explanation. My only option was to leave you in the care of someone worthy. That was when I saw Mr and Mrs Amposah.
They agreed to take care of you as their own, on condition that I kept this adoption a secret. They sent you away to the states until I heard you had returned upon the death of your foster father.
Kuu, you are my only son, I couldn’t abandon you just like that, I had to think of something. This was my only choice my son. Your name is Kuuku Antwi and I am your mother.” She revealed.
“Stop it, stop it, I can’t take it anymore” Kuu shouted. He left her and Mansa and ran into his room.
It was too much for him to bare. He couldn’t handle it. He was just confused as to whether she is telling the truth or not.
Mansa went into Kuu’s room and found him sitting on his bed.
She joined him and took his hand. She rubbed her thumbs on his hand. This made him feel more relaxed .
“Kuu, I think you should take it easy now. Don’t draw any conclusions yet. Its amazing that I also went through the same thing ” Mansa said.
“What are you talking about, Mansa?” Kuu asked.
Mansa brushed him off and said ” I think there is only one way to find out if she is telling the truth”
“How? How can we tell, by doing a DNA test I guess? Kuu asked
” Nope, I think we should keep her here till Mrs Amposah comes, then we can confront them both.” Mansa suggested.
Kuu felt comfortable as long as he remained beside Mansa. Even with this situation and the news that he had heard today, he still felt guilty for what he had done to Mansa.
Mansa however harboured what she had saw at dawn thus Riri coming from his room.
“Mansa, there is something, I need to tell you” Kuu said.
” I already know Kuu” Mansa said.
” You do? Kuu asked
“Yeah, I know you’re going out with Riri, I saw her coming out of your room this dawn” Mansa said
“Oh that, Mansa is not what you think” Kuu said
” This is not the time for this, lets go back and keep the lady waiting until Mum returns” Mansa said and left Kuu’s room to the living room. Kuu had no option than to also follow.
Mrs Amposah went to Riri’s house after trying severally to get in touch with her but to no avail. Fortunately, She met Riri at her apartment.
It was obvious that Riri didn’t want to see her. She didn’t give Mrs Amposah a smiling face, however Mrs Amposah was able to persuade her into getting into her car so they could talk.
“Riri, why this attitude? You left my house without telling me, your phone have been off all this while. What is wrong with you? If this, is about your money then take it” She said taking a bundle of 50GH¢.
To her surprise, Riri refused it.
“Mrs Amposah, what do you even hope to achieve from this. I have done a lot and I can’t keep up with this anymore. Excuse me, I don’t want your money” Riri said.
“You must be joking right? This is a prank” Mrs Amposah said.
“You think so? don’t ever contact me anymore, I’m done” Riri said and got down from the car banging the door right at Mrs Amposah’s face.
She didn’t believe what just happened. It was like a dream to her.
” She must be upset about something, I know she will be back. ” Mrs Amposah said to herself.
Mrs Amposah went straight to the police station. She was not allowed to see her son Chris with a reason best known to the authorities.
She couldn’t bare it. She had to create a scene at the station for not allowing her to see her son. The only thing that restrained her from creating any more problems was the fact that she was threatened to stop her actions or will be arrested.
There was nothing more she could do. For the first time you could tell how frustrated Mrs Amposah was.
She had no option than to go back home. Her day just went bad. Riri rejecting her and now the police disallowing her to see her son.
In no time she got back home. As soon as she opened the door leading to the living room, she was shocked upon seeing Kuu, Mansa and the lady who claims that she is the biological mother of Kuu.
