SOMEWHERE ON A NEW SITE AT
ABLORH-ADJEI
The house has a really dirty exterior. It is not painted, and there are a lot of
wooden and metal debris lying around,
as if work is still ongoing on the building.
The ground is covered with overgrown
green gras-s. There are stagnant pools of
water all around. When Effe gets out of the car she sees
Chris’ taxi parked in front of the building,
and her heart sinks. Tears spurt into her
eyes again, but she bites her lower li-p
ti-ghtly and fights them off.
Chief Inspector Cuger speaks into his walkie-talkie again, and immediately
black-clad policemen seem to materialise
from the bushes.
Effe counts about ten policemen,
wearing helmets and bulletproof vests,
and all of them armed. Her heart begins to beat with fear
because she knows how violent Chris
can become, and what a good fighter he
is.
He will put up a fight, and they might
shoot and kill him. She reaches out and holds the Chief’s
arm.
EFFE
Please. Please don’t hurt him.
Chief Inspector Danso’s face is grim.
CUGER
Please stay here. We’ll try not to hurt
anybody, but it’s not a promise.
Quickly the policemen advance on the
building.
Some are covering the back, others the
windows, whilst Chief Inspector Danso and Sergeant McBaiden advance on the
front door.
Effe is trembling, and Eyram holds her.
The policemen disappear into the
building. After about five minutes Madam
Ivy’s phone rings, and she puts it to her ear.
She listens for a moment and then turns
to her daughters.
MADAM IVY
Chief Cuger wants us to go inside.
EFFE
Why? Is Chris really inside?
EYRAM
Only one way to find out, Ef. If you want
to, that is. If you don’t want to we can
wait here.
Effe shakes her head dazedly.
EFFE
Of course I want to. I nee-d to speak to
him.
The three women pick their way carefully
throu-ghthe pools of water and the
weeds, and go throu-ghthe entrance of the building.
There are policemen all around, and they
indicate a door to their right.
Effe follows her mother throu-ghthe door,
and then she comes to a complete halt at
what she sees in the room. The interior of the building belies its dirty
exterior.
It is painted nicely, and the room itself is
furnished with the most beautiful U-
shaped leather chairs Effe has ever seen.
The plasma TV, the gadgets, the incredible carpet, the blinds, glas-s-
topped middle table …everything in the
room is expensive and beautiful.
Lying in the centre of the room is Chris
Bawa.
He is wearing only white boxers. He is lying on his back, and his eyes are glazed
and unfocused.
Even then he looks extremely handsome.
Lying beside him with a defiant
expression on her face is a beautiful girl
wearing only a pair of white lacy pa-nties, and she has an incredibly perfect figure,
and she has crossed her legs and
covering her b—–s with one hand and an
arm, whilst her other hand is lying across
Chris’ genitals.
The bulge in his boxers clearly tell Effe that they have been having s-x.
Effe’s soul screams with unbearable
crushing pain.
There are empty alcohol bottles on the
floor.
On the center-table is a white powdery substance, and some crushed weeds and
stri-ps of paper.
She knows without a doubt that the white
powder is cocaine, and the weeds can
only be marijuana.
Perhaps, worse of all, is the pouch lying on the chair, opened and displaying a lot
of brown five-hundred cedi notes.
Chief Inspector Cuger points at the
pouch.
CUGER
Is that the pouch your husband gave you, Mrs. Kedem?
Madam Ivy’s face is flushed with
seething anger.
MADAM IVY
That is the pouch! Dear Lord! I hope all
the money is in there!
CUGER
We wouldn’t know till it’s counted. Is this
gentleman Chris Bawa?
Before anybody can reply Chris gives a
loud laugh.
CHRIS Oh, yeah! I be Chris Bawa, the best d–k
in the yard, abi? Any of you women wan
make I give you some hot screw this
afternoon?
Madam Ivy cannot hold herself back
anymore. She steps forward and slap-s Chris ha-rd across the face.
MADAM IVY
You filthy, nasty human being!
Chris looks at her and winks nastily.
CHRIS
Ah, the nasty mother-in-law wants my d– k in her crack, I lie?
Madam Ivy screams and slap-s Chris
again.
EFFE
Mama! Stop it! Just stop it, please!!
She rushes forward and picks up a cloth from the floor, and throws it at the girl
lying beside Chris.
CHRIS
Hey, sweet Effe! Ebe you? S–t, I miss
you pas-s! I love your body roff! Charley,
the way you dey move on top of me be too much! You dey like the way I make
you scream?
Sergeant McBaiden steps forward and
drives a fist into Chris’ face.
Chris crashes onto the floor, his li-ps cut
in several places, and he starts to laugh even as blood drips from his mouth.
The girl screams and dives at the
Sergeant, trying to scratch out his eyes,
but the policeman slap-s her ha-rd.
Effe turns furiously on the man.
EFFE
What’s wrong with you? Is this how you
treat suspects? Do that again, to any of
them, and I’ll personally make sure you’re
out of a job!
Chris gives a whoop of joy and tries to
get up.
CHRIS
Hey, Effe baby, you dey miss me?
CUGER
Lay off, Ato. Let the girl dress up!
The woman picks up some clothes and
un-der garments from the floor and disappears into the bathroom.
Effe avoids Chris’ outstretched hands
and follows the lady.
She waits outside until the lady emerges,
fully-dressed.
She stares balefully at Effe.
EFFE
Hello. I’m Effe. Are you Janet?
JANET
Yeah. I am.
EFFE
(her voice sad) Chris told me you died in a fire that razed
down the orphanage you grew up in.
Janet snorts and walks past Effe.
Effe turns and runs after her, and when
they get back to the living-room Effe
grabs her arm. Janet whirls violently and knocks Effe’s
hand off.
JANET
(viciously)
Take your d–n hands off me! There was
no orphanage, there was no fire! Chris does not love you, he just used you! Like
all the other silly women! You don’t mean
s–t to Chris!
The room almost goes dark for Effe.
It has all been lies! He had just lied to
her! She whirls on Chris.
The police have dragged him to his feet
now, and they have put handcuffs on
him.
He is still wearing only his boxers, and he
is swaying with glazed eyes. She walks up to him and stands facing
him.
She raises a trembling hand and places
her hand flat on his che-st, and she looks
de-ep into his eyes, trying to see the old
Chris in there, the man who had loved her, the man who had revealed secrets
about her body to her.
The man who has captured her heart for
eternity, the man who loves her … the
man of her life, the man who has totally
ecli-psed her heart, the man she will love for eternity.
EFFE
(voice completely broken)
Chris. My love. Tell me they’re wrong.
Please tell me they’re wrong, and that
you still love me!
Chris giggles nastily and looks at her with
eyes glazed with alcohol, marijuana and
maybe cocaine.
CHRIS
(voice slurred)
You don’t mean s–t to Chris!
He laughs cruelly and evilly.
Effe steps back with a little cry of
unbridled agony.
Eyram rushes forward and takes her
sister in her arms, and she hisses at
Chris.
EYRAM
D–n you, Chris, whoever you are! I hope
you rot in hell for this!
EFFE
CHRIS!!!
CUGER
Take them away! He makes me want to
puke!
Sergeant McBaiden drags Chris away.
They put handcuffs on Janet too.
As they lead her away she stops in front
of Effe, and speaks with a contemptuous curl to her li-ps.
JANET
You think you’re special? He’s been my
husband for more than twenty years, and
he’ll remain my husband forever! Go find
your own husband, b—h!
Madam Ivy rushes at Janet, but Chief
Inspector Cuger Danso holds her back.
MADAM IVY
You stupid little s–t! Say that to my
daughter and I’ll rip your throat out!
They lead Effe out. She sees Sergeant McBaiden opening a
police jeep’s doors for Chris.
Effe rushes to him, and stands squarely
in front of him.
He stands there swaying. When she
begins to speak her voice is broken up, and her tears are tributaries of rivers that
pour off her face.
EFFE
You have crushed my soul, Chris. You
made me love you in a way I’ll never love
any man again. You toyed with my very soul. I still love you …hell, I’ll probably
love you forever, but I hate you, Chris. I
hate you with the very core of my heart,
and I’m going to teach myself to forget
about you! I hope you enjoy the prison
waiting for you, Chris. I don’t ever want to see you again! Do you un-derstand?
Never!!!
CHRIS
(giggling)
You don’t mean s–t to Chris!
They push him into the jeep, and it moves away.
Effe sags weakly against Cugar’s Nissan.
She is trembling so much that it seems
she is in a gale. Sweat roll off her body in
torrents, and her heart is beating fiercely.
She ba-rely knows what is going on. Her heart is broken into a million pieces, and
she knows that she will never recover
from this great deceit.
She has fallen for his lies. He has been
an angel, but de-ep inside he is a most
terrible monster! The worst thing is that she is still madly
in love with him.
EFFE
D–n you, Chris! D–n you to hell!!
Her tears flow unchecked …and in her
heart is a terrible continuous pain that keeps growing and growing and
threatens to shatter her heart!!
To be continued…
