Episode 5

One faithful Sunday evening, a very rich man came to the spot and proposed to me. I said to myself that I won't allow that opportunity to fly away. Usual for we ladies, we won't accept your proposal on the first attempt but with this one, my friend , I accepted on the first attempt. I thought my days of joy has finally arrived. He came to introduce himself as Kelly who works as a car dealer. He said he returned from abroad not long ago and came to settle in Ghana. Seriously speaking, the man was good looking. The car he came with will even let you understand that the man is dusted. I couldn't just withstand falling for him but the problem was my son. Will he be ready to accept me if I disclose my status as a single mother? That was my main problem so I decided to tell him that Alex my son is my junior brother and maybe that will do. He will always visit me at the spot before we close for the day. Before he leaves, he will give me some money to eat. At least this made me get convinced that Kelly was going to be my saviour. I registered with some savings and loan company where I do save with them everyday. One interesting thing is that, Kelly was always changing cars. Hardly will you see him use one car for one week. Maximum is three days then he changes and bring a new one. My colleagues at the bar started getting jealous because it seems I was making it big. I used part of my money to also see to the development of my son. For about two months into the relationship, Kelly never made any attempt of letting me go to his place. We only meet at the bar and that was It. I was not comfortable with this so one day I decided to play tricks on him. I called him and told him I was sick and could not do anything so he should get me medicine. Luckily for me, I was off from work that day so it worked. He told me he has some appointment with his business partners so he will come in the evening. Anyway, all I needed was his presence at my place. Around 6:30 that evening, Kelly was at my place with a different car. You know am not new to blowing the mind of guys. My dressing alone said it all. Anywhere my mum is, I thank her for giving birth to a beautiful charming girl who no man will be able ignore. In fact, I received him very well right from the entrance then into my room. I welcomed him with my sugar kiss. How he wishes we won't stop kissing but he was also skillful and experienced in it. When we got to my room he asked if my sickness was gone. He gave me the medicines and fruits he bought when coming. I told him my sickness can only be cured with his presence not any chemical. To be honest with you, I was highly in the mood for what you are thinking. Kudos to all the young men and women out there who have been able to abstain from sex for a very long time. Can you imaging some have not had sex for over 20 years and counting but I was dying to feel anything big and strong inside me after my short period of abstinence. But unfortunately for me, he saw Alex sleeping on the bed. He then asked whether that was my child. Smart enough I told him that Alex was not my son but for a neighbor who want to buy something from the town. I arranged my room to extent that there was no sign that I had a child. Kelly got convinced to some extent and re-activated my mood. We had fun that evening. Have you seen a male horse ride on a female horse before? Chai, Kelly was a human horse. After satisfying him that evening, it became a regular thing but I was careful to always remember my contraceptives. My land lady was also good by covering me. I thought I was being smart not knowing that Kelly was a crook. Let me tell you something, some men are more than what we refer to as 419. They will give you with one hand and take it back with interest with the other hand. I had more fun with Kelly but I realized that he never asked of my parents not to even talk about his. He never took me to his place before and it was always my place or we go out to fun places. My problem was Alex, I was denying him that motherly care and following Kelly around. Kelly was not what he claimed to be but I was blindfolded to see that. All I new was that I was enjoying myself. My father and his wife were also doing their own thing. The unfortunate thing was my father forgot about me. Six months into the relationship, Kelly said he was arranging for us to travel aboard. He told me that he got some business abroad for me but his money was locked up with one of his customers so I should balance him with my savings so that he will give it to me later. Foolishly for me, I went to withdraw all my savings and gave to him. I guess you also think same of me right? Well, when you fall in love without your brains, some of these things may come across your way. The following evening, Kelly never visited. I called his line and he said he was still working on the traveling process so I shouldn't worry. I informed my land lady that I will be traveling soon. Two days pass and still no call or message from Kelly. I was very disturbed so in the evening at the spot, the gentleman he came with the first day I met him came to drink but he came alone. I got closer to him and asked him whether he saw Kelly of late. Surprisingly, he said Kelly was not who I took him for. He said "lady forget about Kelly. Ah! How can a beautiful lady like you be following Kelly who does not even have a place to sleep. What did he tell you? Look, those cars are not for him. He works as a mechanic in a car rental company. So those cars belong to the company which he was supposed to service so my lady you need to look sharp." My eyes, my mouth, my ears and almost every part of my body started aching upon hearing what the man had said. I asked him to show me where he lives. He agreed to do that but on the condition that he won't pay for the drink that evening. I excused our head bar attendant and followed this man. He made me rent a taxi which I did. What! what was I seeing? The man took me to some dilapidated house which where I was staying was far better than. We asked of him from one guy in the house only for him to tell us that Kelly told them he won lotto so he travelled to see his parents at Togo. We forced his door opened and nothing was inside the room. Kelly runned away with all my money. All that I saved from the day I started working. Oh God! why me again? why should I stood so low. What have I done to deserve all this? I gave myself to him and now all my savings too is gone. Who do I explain this to? I just felt like dying but it was all as if it's a dream. I fell to the ground and went into comma. I was rushed to the hospital with the taxi we came with. By the time I woke up, my daddy and step mother were seating by my side on the hospital bed. My dad asked me of what happened and I narrated everything to him. My step mother said it served me right because I decided to be a bad girl. My daddy asked her to stop saying what she was saying. I was just about replying my step mum when Auntie Felicia came in with Alex. Tears engulfed my eyes. Where do I get help from? I was discharged after two days. My land lady said she was disappointed in me. Her concern was that why didn't I learn from my past experience with men and I stoop so low this time again. She added that I messed up because she was doing everything for me and so she had also decided that she has come to the end of the road for me. She said that she can't be suffering for me and I'll just give everything out to useless men to spend. I pleaded with her but to no avail. Am doomed. Life became so clear to me. I asked myself several questions including why things were difficult for me like that? For a young lady like me, why? I continued to work at the spot but this time around, Auntie Felicia was not ready to take care of Alex for me so I decided to go and plead with my step mother to let me bring Alex to stay with them so that I face life as it is. Her daughter was also growing well. She agreed but unknowing to me, this woman did not accept my request in good faith. Hmm, am even crying as am telling you this thing. My step mother was very wicked. A song writer once said, "we shall over come some day " that was the song I do sing.

How did my step mother treat my son? Will there be another chance for me?
