CRUSH TO CRASH… SEASON ONE
EPISODE 5
From U.S Bah ❤ ✌?

I began to scream with fear.
Someone has poured acid on meeeeeeeeee! Esi help me! Please help me! I screamed out with fear.
Quickly, Esi’s parents rushed out from the room to the scene.
Calm down gentleman, it isn’t acid. It is urine. I didn’t know there was someone behind the window. I was as usual pouring it away and it poured on you. Esi’s mother explained.
Wait a minute, is that not Meshac? Her father quickly noticed me.
Meshac, how many times should I warn you to stay away from my daughter?
Because of you, Esi has started disrespecting me in this house. The man yelled angrily.
You are even lucky it was urine, the next time, it will be faeces.
Now leave my compound before I do something nasty. The man continuously yelled.
Papa what is it? Why in God’s name are you embarras-sing my husband to be? Esi bantered words with the father.
Immediately she landed with her harsh question, the father slapped her so ha-rd on the face.
How dare you ru-b shoulders with me before a stranger?
I can swallow every nonsense from you as my daughter, but to humiliate me in public will attra-ct my anger. The man screamed angrily at Esi.
And you, what are you still standing for? Leave here at once! He screamed at me.
I quickly took to my heels, and I could hear Esi calling me from behind.
I got home very exhausted and sad.
What at all is happening? Why can’t this man allow me to love his daughter? Why? I thought.
Early the next morning, Abena came to visit.
Good morning my love. How was your night? She asked.
Why are you here this early Abena? Do you want people to think you slept here? I asked unhappily.
I’m sorry Meshac, I didn’t mean to upset you. I’m only here to give you your pocket money for the day. She responded and handed me the money.
Abena, I don’t nee-d any money from you again.
I am a man, and I can fend for myself. I responded.
Don’t do this Meshac, I have just an hour to spend in this village.
My aunty has come from the city to pick me away for a full month, so I calculated your monthly pocket money and brou-ght it to you. Please don’t turn it down. She pleaded.
Abena, why are you doing all these for a man who doesn’t love you?
What do you seek to achieve? I asked.
Meshac, breaking my V¡rginity two days ago is enough for me.
I am glad I had a handsome and gentleman like you to sleep with me. She responded.
Please, stop bombarding my ears with this V¡rginity issue. For God’s sake, I never broke your V¡rginity. The day we had se-x, I never saw any blood. I stated harshly.
Don’t talk like that Meshac. You didn’t see blood because, the doctor told me I am anaemic, and I can only bleed from menstruation or any injury after two months of taking my blood tonic. She responded.
Whatever Abena! Truth be told, sleeping with you was a mistake. I regret ever doing it. I love Esi and never intend quitting her for you. I stated harshly.
Instantly, Abena burst into tears.
Meshac why? Why do you keep hurting me like this? She asked.
Not again Abena. You don’t have to shed tears over me, please stop it. I pleaded and hu-gged her.
Before I knew it, we started ki-ssing and landed on the bed with love making.
Minutes later, Esi bumped into us.
What! Meshac! I can’t believe this is happening! She screamed in tears and run out of the room.
I quickly got up from the bed in anger.
Abena, have you seen what you’ve caused?
Leave my room this minute before I break your head. I yelled.
She hurried out of the room in fear.
I threw myself on the bed in tears.
What is happening to me? Why can’t I be man enough to deal with what I don’t want?
I love Esi, yes! But her father is not giving me the peace of mind to do so.
Abena also likes me, and I seem to have some weakness for her too.
What at all is happening? What? I soliloquised angrily.
An hour later, I had a call from Mensa.
Hello Meshac, I am highly disappointed in you! You threw Abena out of your room in the middle of love making, simply because Esi bumped into you.
Have you for once asked yourself why you can’t avoid Abena completely?
Have you for once asked yourself why you keep making love with her even though you claim you don’t love her?
Well, the answer is very simple. That is because the bond between the two of you is stronger than your strength! The earlier you come to terms with that, the better for you. Mensa spoke angrily and hanged up.
Mensa’s words kept echoing in my mind.
Indeed, Abena is my weakness, and it might mean love.
After all, Esi’s father is against us, so what is the point in worrying myself over her? I thought quickly.
I dressed up and stepped out of the room to Abena’s house.
I must apologize to her immediately before she leaves for the city, or else, someone might take her away from me. I thought.
Good afternoon mum, please I’m looking for Abena. I greeted Abena’s mother when I got to their house.
Sorry my son, Abena just joined her aunty’s car to the City. She responded.
Damn! What have I done! I thought and hit my forehead in disappointment.
My son, is everything alright? The woman asked.
Everything is alright mum. I lied in pain and remorse.
What do I do now? What? I thought.

*****
What do I do now? What? I thought.
I walked back to Mensa’s mechanic shop in misery.
What do you want here Meshac? Mensa asked unhappily.
Calm down my brother, I am here to apologise for my indecisiveness. I responded.
What decision have you now arrived at? Are you ready to let go of that wretch Esi of a girl? He asked.
Yes Mensa, I have decided to be with Abena for the rest of my life. Like you always say, Esi has nothing good to offer me. I responded.
Mensa became so happy for my new decision.
We conversed happily for few minutes and I went back home.
A month later, Abena returned from the city.
I went out to fetch water and I heard some guys discussing her.
Charlie, have you seen teacher’s daughter Abena, she returned from the city yesterday and she is looking like a goddess. One of them stated.
Yes I saw her alighting from her aunty’s car. I tell you, that lady is naturally endowed.
Fine lady with fine as-s, fine face and fine shape. I admire her so much and I wish I could sell my father’s farm land just to have her. The other guy complimented.
My head began to spin.
What! So all these guys are dying to have Abena, and I am here slacking. I must go right away and apologize to her. I thought.
I quickly got to the house, bathed and wore my best shirt and shoes.
Finally, I got to Abena’s house and her mother offered me a seat.
Abena was called from the room.
Immediately she saw me, she frowned her face.
How may I help you Meshac? She unhappily asked.
Abena please forgive me. I am so sorry for all the pains I’ve put you throu-gh.
I am finally here to let you know that, it is you and no one else. I explained.
Meshac what about Esi? What have you done to her? She asked.
Abena, Esi is a thing of the past. I have broken up with her. I responded.
Well, just get up and go home. I will think about everything you’ve just said and get back to you. She responded.
I got home and threw my poor self on the bed.
God, please don’t let Abena pas-s me by. I prayed silently.
I worried in thoughts till sleep carried me away.
Minutes later when I woke up, Esi was comfortably seated next to me on the bed.
What in God’s name are you doing here? Who invited you? I yelled.
Meshac, it’s been a month now since I caught you in bed with Abena, I’ve waited for so many days waiting for an apology, but it never came, so I decided to personally come here for it. She responded.
Well Esi, I am not ready to apologize for anything.
The bott-om line is, it is over between us. I don’t nee-d you any longer. I responded harshly.
Meshac please what is my offence? She asked sadly.
Poverty is your offence Esi. I nee-d a woman who will love and pamper me. A woman who will not watch me go hungry. That is the type of woman I nee-d. I responded.
Thanks so much for making me guilty of a crime I know nothing about.
I was born in poverty, and poverty is the home in which I live, but for this painful words you’ve spewed out to me, I will fight poverty throu-ghgood and the evil till I win.
Once again, thanks for being an eye opener. Esi lamented and walked out of the room sadly.
I still didn’t care. I am grown enough to know what I want.
Meshac is handsome, and he must gain profit from his handsomeness. I thought.
Later in the evening, Abena visited.
Helloooo my beautiful empress, I’m glad to see you. I welcomed.
Thanks Meshac, but I’m here to accept your apology on one condition. She responded.
Name it Abena, just name it. I responded desperately.
On the condition that, you will not depend on me for your daily meal as you used to.
On the condition that, I will decide on which direction this relationship should go.
After all, I am not the one who came begging you. It is the other way round. She explained harshly.
Oh my love, why the sudden change in attitude? I asked sadly.
I know I’ve hurt you, but please find a place in your heart to forgive me. I added.
I have forgiven you Meshac, that is why I am here. I am only telling you to restart your kayayo job in the market.
Even though I will give you money, but not everyday. She explained.
Days pas-sed and my relationship with Abena began to grow with maltreatment.
She harshly talked to me, and ha-rdly came to my house.
Anytime I visited her in the house, I met her absence.
The relationship was not as I planned, so I decided to talk to Mensa on what to do.
