Episode 11
That is because I didn't steal the money. She boldly responded.
What do you mean by that Mabel? You confessed right in front of everybody, so why are you trying to deceive me now. I asked.
Zach, from the very first day I saw you in this house, I knew you were a good person until mummy started having those nightmares about you.
I believed everything she told me, but one thing I can never believe about you is that "you are a thief".
I tested you in several ways by placing money at places you could see, but you never picked a coin from it.
So how come you gathered courage all of a sudden to steal from daddy's room?
The daddy you love so much and you are so much dedicated to?
I know you won't do that. Mabel explained.
Mabel, you are getting me confused. First I thought someone set me up until you confessed. So I have come to believe your confession wholeheartedly. Why this quick turn around? I asked confusedly.
Zach, I also believe someone set you up but I don't know who.
I only accepted blame because I didn't want you to leave this house. Mabel responded.
What! Mabel! So you are not the thief? You only accepted blame just for me?
Oh Mabel, you shouldn't have done this mess to your image. You shouldn't have done it at all. I don't deserve this from you. I said in tears.
Stop crying Zach, you have done to me so much good. You taught me how to be a woman and how to treat and love everyone irrespective of their status.
I'm glad to announce to you that you are my first victim. She said with smiles.
Thank you so much Mabel. Thanks a million for this massive sacrifice. I said.
Thank yourself Zach. The good you did for me returned to you when you least expected it.
It's rather unfortunate I am leaving this house, I would have helped you to hunt down the person who set you up this way.
But all the same, I wish you well. Kindly stay out of trouble and remember, everyone in this life has an enemy. It takes prayers and self care to conquer them. Be good. Mabel advised.
I was so happy to hear all these from Mabel. I shed tears of joy as I watched her enter the house.
God, thank you for using Mabel to vindicate me, but whoever my enemies are, please put them to shame. I prayed silently.
When I raised up my head, I saw Buba standing before me.
You scared me Buba, what are you doing here? I asked.
Zach, what were you discussing with Mabel? I saw her here few minutes back. He asked.
Why do you want to know Buba? Don't I have the right to talk to her any longer? I asked back.
Zach, is there something you have seen or know in this house? Is there something I must know? He asked guiltily.
Buba, is there something going on in this house that you think I know? Is there something you are hiding from me? I asked back.
Zach, I know you don't respect and you are going to challenge me as usual but I assure you, if you try anything funny, Mama will kick you out of this house.
You are being unnecessarily African Buba. Almost every African sees the truth as insult, I'm therefore not surprised you see me as disrespectful.
Anyway, as the second in command as you are in this house, I have wholeheartedly taken your caution to heart. I stated sarcastically.
Whatever Zach. I don't care about you or what your foolish brains think. He responded and walked away.
I looked on with smiles.
Oh Buba my brother, I pity your evil heart. I thought.
Days later, Mabel left the house for the States.
Mr Owusu took her to the airport.
The house was now left in the hands of the two evil hearts.
That night, I was laying quietly in my room when I saw someone opening my door.
I quickly stood up and switched on the bedside lamp.
Hey Zach, don't panic, it's me.
Mama Becky whispered.
Please what are you doing here? I asked angrily.
Calm down Zach, I still haven't given up on you. I still need you to taste this sugar. She whispered and stripped naked again.
Mama please, I can't do this with you. I hate what you are doing, leave here before I raise an alarm. I responded.
Zach, why are you proving stubborn? You deceived me to tell you my secret about my addiction to pornography and now you are refusing to share my guilt.
You must sleep with me or else...
Or else what? Just because I know your secret, you want to bribe me with sex?
Well Mama, take your guilt away, I refuse to be part of it. I responded angrily.
Zach, apart from my pornographic addiction, is there something else you know about me? I mean is there something you've seen in this house about me? She inquired.
Hahahahah Mama, I pray guilt doesn't kill you in your own home. There is nothing I know but I'm willing to listen if you will tell me. I responded.
Go to hell Zach, you will never get away with this. I will deal with you drastically. She threatened and walked out.
I looked on in smiles.
So Mama Becky and Buba think I know about them.
That's why they are trying very hard to confirm from me. Wow! I thought.
The next morning, I did my usual chores and went to sit at the gate.
Buba was also busily scrubing the sitting room.
Soon, Mr Owusu arrived in the house.
Welcome daddy. I greeted.
How are you Zach? How's back? He inquired.
All is well daddy. I responded.
Daddy, please I want to make a request from you. I humbly said.
Go ahead Zach. He responded.
Daddy please I need money to buy a phone for myself and my mother so that I can be calling regularly to check up on her. I humbly said.
That is no problem Zach. I have even opened a bank account for you and your brother. I am saving your salaries there for your future.
In two years, each one of you will tell me what you want to do with it and I promise to withdraw it for you.
But in the mean time, if you need anything from me, just let me know as you've done now. He said.
Eheh Zach, I've been wanting to ask you this but busy schedules won't allow me.
Zach, do you want to go to school? Mr Owusu inquired.
No daddy, I want to establish a business. I responded happily.
Alrightthen, let's wait for two years and get everything started.
I will be educating you from time to time on all the business strategies.
Anytime you see me home, just get closer to me and let's talk business. He added.
Alright daddy, I'm more than grateful for your kindness towards my family. My God will bless you. I responded.
I will soon get you two nice phones so that you send one to your mother. I only need you to be a good and hardworking boy. He advised and walked into the house.
Wow! This is great news. I am going to get a phone and I can video all the evidence I need. I thought.
A week later, Mr Owusu brought me the two phones.
Zach, these are the phones, try and send your mother's own to her tomorrow. I don't want you to miss her too much again. He teased.
Thanks a lot daddy. God bless you. I responded.
Eheh Zach, a quick reminder, my son will be coming in three weeks time so kindly clean up his room for me when you are free. He said.
That also means I will not be going anywhere in the next three weeks. I need to rest and wait for my son so kindly come around for the business chat anytime you are less busy. He added and walked away.
God will bless this man. I will do everything possible to ensure his happiness. I will never betray him like Buba. I thought.
I quickly went into my room and hid the phones at a safer place. I didn't want Mama Becky and Buba to know I had a phone. I planned.
Early the following morning, after my chores, I picked one of the phones and went to my mother's new place.
Good morning mother, I've really missed you. I run to hug her as usual.
Good morning Zach. What brings you here this early morning? She asked curiously.
I brought you a surprise. I responded happily and handed the phone over to her.
Eeeiii Zach, how did you get this? And how am I going to use it? Mummy asked in a mixed feeling.
Mother, Mr Owusu bought it for you. He said he will be calling you on it. I said.
But mother, where is Assan? I inquired.
Hmmm Zach, I don't know what it is with Assan and the landlady ooo. He sleeps in her room now after few weeks of tight friendship.
I've asked him severally but he said there is nothing going on between them. My mother narrated.
Eeeiii mother! That woman is married ooo. How is the husband going to take this? I worriedly asked.
Zach, the husband is outside the country. I believe that's why she's becoming intimate with Assan.
I've tried warning Assan several times but he doesn't mind me. Anytime I talk about it, he refuses to give me food. Mother narrated sadly.
Mother, don't talk about it again. I don't want him to starve you to death.
The two of them are matured enough to know the right from wrong, so if they want to continue, karma will lead them to their reward. I advised.
I stayed with my mother for a while. I cooked yam and her favorite kontomire stew for her. After eating, I asked permission to leave.
Just then, Assan entered the room.
Zach you are here. How are you doing? He asked.
Very well Assan. Where have you been? I asked.
I was in Naana's room, helping her to do some stuff. He responded.
Alright, I brought phone for mother. Mr Owusu asked me to do so, so that he will be calling her from time to time to check up on her. I narrated.
Wow, that's great. Do you have a phone too? Assan asked.
No bro, I will be calling with our land line. I lied to avoid Assan from blowing up my cover to Buba.
That reminds me Zach, Buba came here few days ago and I must say he's looking awesome.
I've always trusted Buba to make it big in life. And I will surely follow his footsteps to be like him. Assan spoke boastfully.
Make sure whatever footsteps you are following is in the good direction, or else, you will be as good as dead. I advised.
I hear you Mr know it all. Thanks for your empty advice. I much appreciate it. He responded and walked out on me into Naana's room again.
I bid Mama goodbye and left there.
What is happening to my brothers? So Buba has succeeded in influencing Assan to sleep with someone's wife.
Just because Mama Becky is paying him for the sex services, Assan has also decided to embark on the same evil action. I thought worriedly as I walked back home.
Welcome back Zach, how is your mother? Mr Owusu asked.
She's doing very well daddy. She extends her greetings. She was so happy to have the phone and she extends her gratitude. I responded.
Days passed and it was time for Junior's arrival. Mr Owusu travelled to the city to bring him home from the airport.
In the evening, I decided to monitor Mama Becky and Buba to see what they were up to.
Buba tiptoed into Mama's room while I stood in my room watching him from the window.
Minutes later, I walked out to spy on them.
I picked up my phone to see if I could record or video them.
Unfortunately, I couldn't video them because they had covered the door hole.
I set the phone on record and stood there waiting.
Buba, unfortunately my son is coming and we need to be very careful. Mama cautioned.
Mama, are you saying we are not going to make love anymore? How can I cope without tasting your sexy body? Buba asked seductively.
Mmmm Buba, you are even turning me on with this your voice.
I never said we are not going to make love, what I'm saying is that, my son is very smart unlike Mabel.
In a nutshell, I will be calling the shots. I will call you anytime I need you. She explained.
That is not fair Mama, that means when I'm horny, I can't satisfy myself unless you are ready.
Now, I've gradually gotten addicted to the pornographic movies too. I have series of them on my phone now.
How then am I going to control my libido? Buba asked.
Buba, you worry too much. My son is smart like I said and he's always hovering around me and his father. I don't know how I can satisfy you when you need me. Please understand. She said.
Eheh, there is something you can do when you are horny, I will teach how to masturbate. Mum added.
Teach me now Mama, I can't wait.
You've spoilt me to an extent that, I feel like making love to you everyday. He responded.
I could hear Mama Becky booting her laptop. Soon, they started watching one of their pornographic movies because I could hear the sound.
Mmmm Mama, this one is too much. Look at how the man is rubbing his dick. Buba exclaimed in excitement.
Yes Buba, that is what we call masturbation. Mama responded happily.
They watched it for a while and and they started making love.
I could hear Mama Becky moaning like crazy.
Aaaaahhh Buba, fuck me. Fuck the hell out of me. Aaaaaaaahhhhh! Mmmmmmmmm! Don't stop baby, fill me up.
I stood quietly behind the in anger recording them.
An hour later, they were done.
Wow Buba, this is a great one. Have you been taking aphrodisiacs lately? Mama asked happily.
Yes my horny sexy Mama. Since this is what I can do to make you happy, why not? I've gotten some drugs that is helping me fuck your boredom. Buba responded.
Eheh Buba, that reminds me. Are you very sure Zach still knows nothing about us? Mama inquired.
He's as stupid as hell. He doesn't know anything. I've personally confronted him about us but he seem green about it. He was rather blinded by your daughter Mabel, he wanted to fuck her before she leaves for the States. Buba responded with confidence.
Really? I sensed it so I was not giving him space at all. Thank God Mabel is no more in this house and thank God Zach is also not having a phone to communicate with her. Mama responded.
Mama, the kind of penis Zach is possessing, if he had succeeded in penetrating your daughter, that would have been the end of her life. Buba teased.
Zach has a crazy Penis that my parents are even afraid of. It's so huge and long. He added.
They both laughed over it.
Buba, keep monitoring his movements so that he won't suspect us. Mama Becky said.
Don't worry Mama, even if it takes me killing him to hide the truth, I will do it. The day he will find out about us, will be his last day on earth. Buba threatened.
