CRUSH TO CRASH… SEASON ONE

From U.S Bah ❤ ✌?

Just then, his door opened and we saw someone standing at the entrance watching us.
Hello Abena, to what do I owe this visit? Mensa welcomed happily.
I’m here to see Meshac. I went to his house and met his absence so I decided to trace him here. She also responded.
Is that the reason why you opened the door without knocking? Was that the right thing to do? I asked unhappily.
Chill Meshac, this is my house and I am not for once worried that Abena bumped into us, so I don’t see why you should complain. Mensa cut in.
Anyway come and have a seat beautiful lady. Mensa offered.
Meshac, I’m going to the lorry park to check on a customer who brou-ght his car to my shop for servicing, I will be back in an hour’s time. Please make yourself useful to this beautiful damsel sitting beside you. Mensa advised smartly and walked out.
Meshac, I’m sorry for bumping into you guys, please forgive me. Abena apologised softly.
Abena, why are you after me this morning? How may I help you? I asked.
I’m here to take the response to my proposal. She responded bluntly.
If I may ask, how beneficial will you be to me in case I accept your proposal? I asked.
Meshac my love, I promise to give you anything you want in this life.
Food, clothes, shoes, money, just name them. She responded.
I’ve heard you Abena, but for now, I am in a relationship with Esi, and you must give me time to sought things out with her before I accept your proposal fully. I responded.
That is no problem at all dear, I am patiently waiting. She responded.
Anyway, have this 50cedis from me. Just use it to buy few items for yourself. She offered.
I was dumbfounded!
What? 50cedis is too much Abena. Even my weekly kayayo job doesn’t earn me this amount of money. I responded.
That is to tell you that, very soon, you will migrate from poverty to riches.
Don’t forget that, my father is a teacher, and my mother owns the biggest shop in this village where the surrounding villages buy their items from.
My mother makes 500 cedis sales and more, every other day, so I can solve all your problems for you. She boastfully responded.
This is marvelous Abena, but why don’t you go to school rather than gallivanting around this village? I asked.
School? School is meant for those who have no hope. It is meant for people who have no idea of what their destiny entails.
Like I just told you, my mother owns the biggest shop and that is enough as-set to rely my destiny on. She responded smartly.
I’ve heard you Abena, thanks for the visit and your money. You must get going now, I will see you some other time. I responded.
Days pas-sed and I kept avoiding Esi.
Anytime she comes into my house, I lock myself up in the room to send the signal that I am not at home.
I did this to pave way for Abena in my life.
I must enroll in the university and I nee-d money from Abena to do that.
Esi has nothing to offer me really. I thought.
One hot afternoon, Abena visited me.
Whiles lying on the bed happily conversing, Esi bumped into us.
Oh Meshac! What have I done to deserve this from you? Why are you breaking my heart? Why? She asked almost in tears.
Esi, please go home, I will come and see you later. I responded shamefully.
You will not go and see her anywhere! It is about time you let her know the truth! Let her know that you no longer nee-d her in your life. Go ahead and tell her Meshac! Abena yelled.
Who are you to come between my fiance and I? Abena, you know you can’t compete with me over anything! Meshac never loves you! He might be doing this for a reason, but de-ep down in his heart, I occu-py all the space! Esi angrily responded.
If you care to know, Meshac broke my V¡rginity, and I broke his. That is enough reason to bind us together forever! Esi continuously screamed on top of her voice.
Stop it the two of you! What has come over you? This is my life and I decide whom to spend it with. I yelled back.
This is your life Meshac, but in case you have forgotten, I was the one who fed you till this time when your parents pas-sed on. I was the shoulder that carried you in your times of distress.
My father quarrel with me almost everyday for sneaking out to see you. And above all these, I gave you my V¡rginity to satisfy your libido. What else do you want me to do for you? Tell me!!! Esi narrated in tears.
I couldn’t utter a word. I was so speechless.
Meshac, why are you standing there like a robot?
Let Esi know that I also gave you my V¡rginity last night.
Let her know that the shirts and shoes you’ve been wearing these days are from my pocket.
Let her know that, this new television and radio set in this room is from me. Go ahead and tell her. Abena cut in.
My head began to spin. These two ladies have suffered for me, and I don’t know what to tell them.
Meshac, I know you are confused. I know whatever you are doing has a reason best known to you, but please, choose between Abena and I. Esi responded calmly.
Instantly I felt hazy.
Whom should I choose? Somebody help me. I soliloquised.

Instantly I felt hazy.
Whom should I choose? Somebody help me. I soliloquised.
He has chosen Abena and you must get used to that. A voice responded from outside.
It was Mensa.
He finally entered the room with a frowned face.
Meshac, how many times should I advise you to take your destiny into your own hands?
What at all does Esi have to offer you? He asked unhappily.
Now listen to me Esi, love is not about sacrificing your colloquial V¡rginity nor the plenty tears you can share.
Love is support. Love is care. Love is an escort to destiny.
The last time I checked, your parents were farmers, and I don’t know if they’ve found themselves a better job.
The most annoying part is that, it is the poor people who have stupid swag of preventing men from going out with their daughters.
Your father has always stood against your relationship with Meshac, and I don’t know why you still follow him.
Give him space to mingle with a right person like Abena. Just give him space! Mensa spoke harshly to Esi.
Esi broke down in tears and walked out of the room.
I felt terribly bad for the maltreatment Mensa and I were giving my beloved Esi.
Later in the evening when Abena left my room, I sneaked to Esi’s house to go and apologize to her.
When I got the back of their window, I overheard her arguing with the father.
Papa leave me alone! Leave me alone to love whoever I want to love! Esi yelled.
Esi, I can’t believe you are talking to me this way.
Since when did you become this disrespectful? What is my offence in advising you to stay away from a man that my heart doesn’t approve of? The father responded sadly.
Just listen to yourself Papa! Just because your heart doesn’t approve of someone doesn’t mean the person is bad. For crying out loud, stop warning Meshac and give us the peace to love ourselves. Esi screamed.
Esi, you are surprising everyone in this house. Look at how your younger sisters are staring at you in shock!
Since when did you learn to talk back at adults? Esi’s mother cut in unhappily.
Mother, I don’t want to hear a word from you. I am mad this evening because, Papa’s attitude towards Meshac is gradually taking him away from me.
Another woman is almost winning his heart because of you people. How would you have felt if you were in my shoes? Esi lamented in anger.
Esi, we are poor, but that doesn’t make us stupid.
Just listen to yourself! A man who claims to love you is going out with another woman, simply because your father is not in support of your relationship.
Is that the right way to end up with you?
Wouldn’t it have been respectful enough to talk things out with you rather than cheating on you for no mistake of yours? Her father explained.
It is none of your business Papa! I don’t nee-d your advice! All I know is I’m in love. Leave me alone to explore! Esi responded harshly and walked out on them to the backyard.
I stood behind the window watching her.
Who is that? Who is standing there. Esi yelled.
It’s me Esi, please come. I whispered.
God! Meshac, I can’t believe this is you. I was just fighting my parents because of you. She stated.
Ssssshhhhh! Don’t say anything Esi. I heard everything that transpired. I responded.
Meshac, what can I do to make you happy?
What can I do to make you mine without a third party? Esi asked in tears.
Esi, I’m very sorry for causing you pain.
I never slept with Abena as she alleged. She only said that to hurt you. I explained.
Meshac, what about your friend Mensa? He doesn’t seem to like me. Esi complained.
Esi, Mensa wants me to go back to school, and he feels Abena is the right person to help me pay for the fees. I responded.
Is that all? Meshac, is that the only reason why Mensa is supporting Abena? Esi asked.
Yes my love, that is the reason. I responded.
Meshac tell me, whom do you want to spend the rest of your life with? Me or Abena? Esi asked.
Obviously you Esi. This is no question to ask at all.
Abena is only providing me with pocket money and I don’t intend to take her any far. I responded.
Well Meshac, I won’t watch you take money from her again.
I promise to do my best to help you survive. I will think of a better way to support you throu-ghschool. Esi as-sured.
Thanks so much my love, but please, don’t stress yourself up.
From this day, I promise never to cause you pain again. Abena and her money will remain history. I responded happily as I hu-gged Esi so ti-ght.
Seconds later, someone opened the window and quickly poured a liquid on us.
I began to scream with fear.
