Password - Season 2 - Episode 39

Akweley woke up to the persistent knocking on her door.

She opened her eyes drowsily and looked at the luminous face of the digital clock on the small side-table of the bed.

It was 04:10 a.m.
She drew the sash of the nightie tighter around her and walked to the door.

“Daddy?” she asked softly.

She could now hear some faint raised voices, as if someone was screaming or shouting in the distance, and she scowled.

“Yes, sweetheart,” came her father’s muffled voice, and she threw the door open and saw him standing out there, wearing a long white gown and holding a pistol in his hand, making her eyes go wide with fright instantly.
“Daddy!”

“Shh!” Laryea Odamten whispered. “It seems we’re being attacked by robbers, dear. The security people pressed the alarm signal, and I’ve called the police. We need to hide and wait till the police get…”

Laryea Odamten stopped because just then they heard a voice shouting out Akweley’s name.

“Akweley, Akweley! Are you in there? Come on, Akweley! It’s me, K.K!”

Father and daughter looked at each other with absolute shock.

“Kofi?” Akweley whispered, turned and rushed back into her room. She drew the blinds and slid the window to one side and looked outside.

Kofi was standing out there in the courtyard, wearing sky-blue pajamas and holding what looked like a fire extinguisher.

She blinked hard and looked again, sure that she might be dreaming.

“Well, I’m going to kill this filthy b-----d!” Laryea Odamten said savagely.

He had been peering over Akweley’s shoulder, and he had also seen Kofi.

He turned away but Akweley quickly held her father’s arm.

“Daddy!” she said earnestly. “It’s okay! Let me speak to him!”

“Why?” Laryea asked angrily. “That boy is mad! He obviously escaped from the asylum! What’s he doing here, anyway?”

“Just let me speak to him, Daddy,” she said, striving to remain calm.

“What for?” he asked acidly. “Remember you’re going to get married this weekend!”

“I know, Daddy,” she said gently. “It’s okay. He’s not going to change my mind. I’ve written him off. Just let me change into some jeans, and I’ll go and send him away, please.”

“Alright, Precious,” Laryea grated out. “But don’t entertain him here, please. How did he get past the security men anyway?”

Akweley changed rapidly as Kofi continued to shout out her name.

Kofi opened his mouth to shout out her name again, but he heard the locks behind drawn back, and then the keys turned in the security door, and then it swung open, and Akweley came out.
