Instantly, my heart skipped. Kukua, why this face? What has
happened to the money? Agyei asked. Agyei, some of the customers are owing me,
and I'm hoping to get paid tomorrow. I lied. That's alright. I will wait then.
He responded. Early the next morning, I traveled to Buohia to see Edem as
discussed earlier. I went straight to his house per our agreement the previous
day. Welcome to my well to do home Kukua, as you can see, I lack nothing. Look
at my big television and fan. Look at my electric iron and radio set. The only
thing I am yet to buy is a fridge. Even that, I will buy it by the end of this
very year. Edem bragged. Edem please, give me the money and let me leave here.
I am begging you. I pleaded. I will be with you shortly. He stated and walked
to his bedside. He hid behind the curtains for several minutes before coming
out bare chested and in a tightening shorts exposing almost his manhood. Edem,
why do you seem to be punishing me? If you don't have the money, why don't you
tell me? I asked unhappily. He sat down beside me and crossed his legs. Kukua,
whatever I do, I do it for the love I have for you. As if by magic, I have never
loved anyone like you. He spoke. Before he could land with his words, Agyei
walked into the room. Quickly, I stood up. Agyei, what are you doing here? How
did you find me here? I asked in shock. Kukua, your cup is so full. How have I
offended you? Is this the market you told me you were going to? Kukua, you are
so wicked to travel to another town without my notice. Eeeeiii women!!!!! Agyei
angrily spoke. Agyei please calm down. It isn't what you think. I pleaded. Tell
me what it is then! Tell me your mission in another man's room. Kukua, tell me
what you are doing with another man in his almost naked state. Agyei yelled.
Edem please tell him why I came here! Please tell him I came to borrow money. I
screamed in tears. Agyei, listen to me, I only came here to borrow money for
your fees. The money I have isn't enough. I explained. You came to sleep with
him for money or borrow money? I doubted this Edem guy when he called to brag
to me that, he has been fucking you every now and then, so I should forget about
marrying you. I doubted him when he called me not long ago to tell me you are
currently in his arms. I doubted Sarah, when she called to recently tell me
that, you are a cheap spoilt girl, and that, I should dump your sorry ass.
Kukua listen to me, I can't marry a harlot like you! Agyei angrily screamed and
walked out on me. In an excruciating heart pain, I turned to look at Edem in
tears. Edem, so you set me up for the little help I needed from you right? Do
you realise I am a loner? Edem, do you realise I have been dinning with pain
since I was born? Do you realise, everyone hates me including nature? Why then
did you decide to take away my only hope? How do you expect me to survive? I
asked in tears. Kukua I'm sorry for the pain, but I only did this to have you
to myself. Please forget about Agyei and come to me. He responded. If your
definition for love is to cause me pain, then I am disappointed in love. If you
couldn't win my heart without hurting me, then you are too weak to be called a
man. Yes Edem, you are the most weakest desperate infatuated person I've ever
seen. I am stronger than you. Yes I am! When I lost my parents, I didn't curse
nature. When I got expelled from school, I didn't retaliate the actions of
those behind it. When I lost all hope, I never gave up on the future. Edem,
that is how stronger I am. My name is Kukua, the only innocent lady of all
guilts. The only person whom God has decided to punish for no reason. I
lamented in tears and began walking out of the room. Just then, a lady walked
in. Wow Edem, I thought as much! I knew you were fucking this bitch! When I
asked you, what did you tell me? That, she is just a charcoal supplier, what
then is she doing here? She screamed. Calm down Mercy, you know I can't cheat
on you. Edem responded shamefully. Kukua is rather the one pestering me with
sex because she wants me to give her money. He added. I looked on in so much
pain and tears. I decided to walk away to avoid more embarrassments. Just
when I tried stepping out, Edem's girlfriend held my dress and pushed me so
hard against the wall. My head hit the wall really bad. I tried escaping but
when I got to the door, I saw myself going down on the floor. Kukua! Kukua!
What is happening to you? Edem screamed and run to hold me.
