CRUSH TO CRASH… SEASON THREE
EPISODE 13
From U.S Bah ❤ ✌?

Eeeeeeiii Meshac, will I ever get out of trouble? I thought sadly as I laid down on my bed.
Seconds later, I had a call from Esi.
Meshac, are you OK? Kukua said she saw some people forcing your nak-ed self into a taxi few minutes back but the car sped off before she got there. She narrated.
Esi, how many times have I not warned you to greet before you start talking on phone? I asked dismissively.
Meshac cut the pretence and answer my question. She responded.
Esi, I don’t know why you would believe anything anybody tells you. I was sleeping when you called, I will call back when I wake up. I responded and hanged up.
I’ve had enough for today and I don’t nee-d any nonsense talk from anybody. I thought angrily.
Days later, news circulated on campus and it’s environs how I was humiliated by the female lecturer.
The Christian fellowship rigged me off my position.
People began gossiping about me. I was so ashamed of even going out.
Almost every one was disappointed in me.
The lecturer indeed disgraced me.
I sat for my last papers for the semester and left the campus in shame.
The next day after I got home, Esi didn’t go to work.
Esi, I hope I am not the reason why you didn’t go to work. I asked.
No Meshac, I am waiting for daddy Joshua. She responded.
Daddy what? Esi, do you still sleep with this man? I asked unhappily.
But Meshac, I thought you said I should sleep with him for money. She responded.
The cheek of it Esi!
I only told you to sleep with him for my fees, and I have completed school, so why are you still sleeping with him? I yelled.
Meshac please tone down, I can hear his footsteps.
Esi, is that how you are? Was this the agreement? I whispered in displea-sure.
Sssshhhh Meshac, just hide. We will talk later after he is gone.
If you don’t hide, he will eject all of us from this room, and we will have no option than to sleep on the streets. She whispered back.
I hurriedly hid behind the chair and she covered me with a bed sheet.
Immediately the man entered the room, he sat on the chair and lifted Esi onto his lap-s.
Baby, why have you starved me this much? The man asked.
Daddy, you are the one who starved me. You were actually the one who traveled. Esi responded.
Forgive me my little princess, I attended a church convention with my friend Pastor Otu, but I am fully back to continue from where we stopped.
Let’s make it snappy before my wife gets to the shop. The man responded hastily.
Alright daddy, but let’s go to the bed. Esi suggested.
No Esi, since it is a quick one, let’s do it right here. In fact, let’s change our style. The man insisted.
Daddy, this chair is weak and capable of breaking. You promised buying me a new one, but you haven’t. Let’s go to the bed, we will do it later when the new chair is ready. Esi insisted but the man resisted.
While the two of them were struggling, the chair got broken and they both fell heavily on me.
I screamed so loud in pain.
Ajeeeeeeiiiii! You’ve broken my back bone Esi.
The man stood up in fright.
Esi, who is that? Who? He asked.
Daddy please I’m sorry. He is my brother. Esi lied.
I stood up from my hideout in pain.
Esi, you are lying to me. Why would you make love with me in your brother’s presence? The man asked.
And wait a minute, is this not Pastor Otu’s boy? The one who nearly ra-ped Pastor Otu’s newly married wife? Yes I remember, this is your so called boyfriend. The man added angrily.
Yes daddy, this is me! What can you do about that? The two of us who should be angry? You are rather sleeping with my fiancee, yet, you have the balls to get angry. I yelled on top of my voice.
Esi, is this how best you can pay me back for all the good things I have done for you?
You told me just last week that, you have broken up with this loose pe-nis of a boy, not knowing you lied. The man spoke unhappily to Esi.
I’m sorry daddy, please forgive me. Esi pleaded on her knees.
I have nothing to tell you Esi, but from this minute, you and your siblings are fired from my shop. I don’t ever want to see you there again, if you do, I will call the police on you. He threatened.
One more thing, pack your belongings and move out of this room. I give you today and tomorrow. He added and walked out on us.
Meshac, you are indeed a bad luck! You see what you’ve caused? Esi insulted

Meshac, you are indeed a bad luck! You see what you’ve caused? Esi insulted angrily.
An hour later, her siblings returned from the shop.
Esi, what the hell did you do to Daddy Joshua to warrant our sacking? Aba fumed in anger.
Aba please calm down.
Mr Joshua came here to visit me, and when he came he tried to ra-pe me. Esi lied to save me from Aba’s wrath.
Where was Meshac when that was happening? Esi, I don’t trust you anymore. Aba stated.
Aba please, I was not home when the incident happened.
I came back from town not long ago. I lied.
But Aba, what reason did the man give you before sacking you? I inquired.
He said my sister has insulted his personality and that, he can no longer work with us. He also said we should move out of this room. Aba narrated.
This is too bad, but I don’t think your sister is at fault. I responded.
She is Meshac! If my sister can sleep with you, why can’t she sleep with daddy Joshua?
What benefit is she getting from this cursed relationship? What? Aba angrily responded.
Later in the evening when things were calm, the three sisters contributed money and went out to search for another accommodation.
Fortunately, they secured one the next day and we packed out.
Esi was jobless, but Aba and Kukua struggled to get a sales attendance job to manage the home whiles I kept writing various applications to various companies seeking for employment.
One afternoon, I was in the room with Esi having fun talks as lovers.
Esi, a lot has happened to us in this relationship, but thank God, we’ve been able to overcome them. I promise never to betray you. I stated happily.
Meshac, I am glad I did all those things for the man I love.
It might look as if I am mad, but truth be told, no one falls in love with a sound conscience. Anybody in love is mad. She responded playfully.
Months later, I was called for a job interview.
Fortunately, I was employed as an accounts officer in a cashew processing company.
Esi and her siblings were so happy for me when I started working.
Meshac, don’t ever forget that, this family has sacrificed our happiness to make you who you are today. If you ever think of betraying us, I will curse you with the gods of our land. Aba threatened.
Indeed, illiteracy is madness. The only thing Aba knows about is cursing anyone who offends her. What kind of family at all have I gotten myself into? I thought.
Months after my employment, I had a call from Frimpong, my university friend.
Hello Meshac, I miss you more than more. I will be coming home next three months. He happily announced.
Wow my good friend, I can’t wait to meet you.
Fortunately, I have a job now, so I can spoil you a bit when you come. I responded happily.
Meshac, are you still with that illiterate fiancee of yours? He asked.
Why the insults my brother? What has Esi done to offend you. My mood quickly changed.
Meshac, Esi has never been to any school, so calling her an illiterate is a description, not an insult.
If you think the word illiterate is insulting, why then do you entangle yourself with it? That means that, you are insulting your own self for dating an illiterate. He explained.
Back at school, I had wanted to advise you, but I lacked the courage to do that.
You are matured now, and you must know better. He added and hanged up.
This is the second time someone is telling me to jilt Esi, but how do I do that with Aba who is always talking about curses? I thought confusedly.
