Episode 10 (Final episode)

He was not able to accept Christ that day because of the fire. It was a sad moment in the history of Nipahiamoa. People started leaving the town with the notion that the land has been cursed. Mr Mensah suffered before dying. His family members abandoned him but the good news was that the rest of his children got back to their feet after returning to the city. My father's funeral rites was also made and was buried. Mr Mensah was seen to be feeding on rotten food items on refuse dumps, moved through the community talking to himself. His schizophrenic condition worsened because no one took the responsibility to pay for his treatment. What happens with the case of stoppage in treatment when suffering from mental health conditions especially schizophrenia is that, the hallucinations and delusions increase. The most common hallucinations include the visual ( where the person sees things no one could see which at times makes them to ran or fight because they see the thing as a threat ) and auditory (where they hear sounds no one could hear hence you see them talking to themselves. They are only responding to the sounds they are hearing ). The others includes tactile, where they feel something crawling on their skins, olfactory, where they smell things no one can smell etc. But the condition can be managed with the help of continuous mental health medications. Mr Mensah lost control of reality for almost a year and died shamefully without accepting Christ into his life. That was why I said if you have the opportunity to do so today, don't miss it, because you may not know what tomorrow holds. Life continued after all those evil periods. My husband made us to move to stay at Kumasi for the rest of our lives but my mother remained in the house at Nipahiamoa and continued her petty trade. My husband also opened a boutique at Kumasi for me to manage as he focused on his construction work. My husband got baptized at Pentecost so I also joined him to attend that church. A lot of people gave their lives to God after listening to our story. I eventually became pregnant. We celebrated the pregnancy even before the baby was born. But to be honest my husband never used any drug on me again but used his own strength and that was even more sweeter than using the drugs. I really enjoyed being with Mawutor. He was a darling. I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy(BBB) who we named Saviour. We named him Saviour because he saved us from shame. This only reminded me that patience pays. If my husband were not to have patience in the marriage, that marriage would have ended long ago. My mother and mother in-law were also happy for us. My mother came to stay with me at Kumasi when I delivered but left after two months of taking care of me. After Saviour, I gave birth to other three children and still expecting one because my husband said he needed five children. So am just warming up to get pregnant for my husband. Life is indeed how you make it. How you lay your bed so you sleep on it.Note that you can't eat your cake and have it back and also you can't plant a maize seed and be expecting to harvest beans. So we need to be careful as to what we do today. In all that we do, we should let love lead. Let us learn to forgive each other because our Father in heaven has also forgiven you. Also, let's put all our woes before God for he is ever ready to attend to us. You should just know that your ways are not His ways. Life is how you make it. Remain a blessing. Your comments.

The End.
