Miracles do happen…Password continues…

“Holy cow!” Ato screamed with indescribable excitement and joy. “Holy Mary cow!”

“Watch your mouth there, boy!” Yaw Boat said sharply, but Pastor Anderson put a restraining hand on Boat’s shoulder and looked at Ato kindly.

“Go on, son,” he said. “You now have the spirit of healing. I didn’t see it, but Boat is also a Seer too, you know, and he saw it. He has all the gifts. Go on, heal your friend and come back. After all, you started it all with that Jamaican Clay.”

“Stone, old man, Jamaican Stone,” Yaw Boat said. “Foolish fools. Why they needed that d--n thing still beats me.”

Ato turned away with a shining face filled with excitement, and he began to run. He stopped suddenly and turned to them.

“Hey, please don’t leave me, okay?” he said imploringly. “This is so great! Please be here when I come back, please!”

“We’re not going anywhere, Ato,” Pastor Anderson said with a smile. “We came to get you, so we’ll wait.”

“Are you sure?” Ato asked anxiously. “That man, that Yaw Boat, he seems impatient and wicked. Maybe he’ll…”

Pastor Paul Anderson smiled.

“This is God’s will, Ato,” he said with a chuckle. “Not Boat’s call. We will wait right here for one year if that’s how long God says we should wait.”

“Oh, thank you, thank God, thank God!” Ato turned and run fast back to the asylum.

When he was gone Pastor Anderson looked at Yaw Boat and smiled, shaking his head.

“You’re such a bad recruiter, Yaw,” he said. “Did you have to break his fingers? Did I break your fingers when I came to recruit you?”
“Nope,” Boat said with smile. “You made me miss a nice time with Elaine though. That was wickedness.”

“Oh, yeah,” Pastor Anderson said with a smile. “I remember. That night you really meant to…what’s that word in that Kofi Kuntu’s head? Klonk, yes, klonk!”

They both laughed as they headed toward the Escalade.

Yaw Boat stopped suddenly.

“Oh, man!”
“What?” Paul Anderson asked, alarmed.

“That fool forgot something,” Yaw Boat said, turned round, and began to walk towards the asylum in search of Ato Sey.

“What?” Pastor Anderson asked, deeply intrigued.

“All he can say is Yesu bra o, Yesu bra 0!” Yaw Boat said disdainfully. “I wonder how he’s going to cure his friend.”

And Paul Anderson began to laugh softly.

Maa Abena Nyantie took the glass case and looked at the exquisite ring inside with a sad smile on her face.

“Two proposals, from two great men, on the same day,” she whispered.

Kofi, lying on his back, gazed up at her with loving eyes.

“I’m poor, Abena,” he said softly. “I don’t know what I’m going to do when I get out of here. There’ll be a lot of evil tongues wagging about me. I can’t afford that kind of ring now, because I’m poor. And, more importantly, I have an evil curse on me which has rendered me impotent. Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with me?”

She touched his cheek, and her smile was a wonderful balm that warmed his heart.

“We’re going to be fine, K,” she said softly. “It’s not about the quality of the ring, but the quality of the heart presenting it. I know you love me, and that is the most important thing. I’m glad you’ve taken the first step, and you’ve become a Christian and changed from your bad boy ways…and you’ll be shocked at what God will do. All other things shall be added to you, and you will be free forever.”

His throat was choked with emotions. He tried to sit up and hold her, but the sharp pain held him back.

“Be still, K,” she said gently, putting her hand on his chest.

And suddenly the door swung open and crashed close, and Ato came running down the ward towards them, his face filled with a total happiness and joy that filled Kofi with wonder.

This was not the heart-broken, angry, bitter, hurt and vengeful Ato who had left them a few minutes ago. Maa Abena looked at him with trepidation, not understanding what was happening to Ato to make him look so radiant.
Kofi tried to sit up, but again a sharp pain tore through his shoulders, and he reclined back again with a soft m0an.

Ato got to their side and stood smiling broadly down at Kofi.

“Hey, bro,” Kofi said nervously. “Everything okay with you? Are you steady?”

Ato chuckled happily and held out his arms.
“The most amazing, stupendous thing happened to me, K.K,” he said, his face bright and glowing with a happiness so great that Kofi began to be a little bit worried. “You just won’t understand! Will tell you all about it later, bro! Just came to tell you that I’m extremely happy you’ve fallen in love, and you won’t get anyone as great as the girl with the eye, Maa Abena Nyantie!”

Kofi and Maa Abena looked at each other nervously.

“Ato, are you okay?” Maa Abena asked.
Ato turned to her and smiled broadly.
“I couldn’t be any better, Abena!”

He reached over and took the glass case from her and dropped it on the bed.

“My brother K.K, that is my gift for you! And now, since I started all this, I want you to have your healing now. I gave you the Jamaican Stone, and now I heal you, my brother!”

He gripped Kofi on the shoulder with his right hand, squeezing hard into Kofi’s wound…and Kofi screamed loudly.

“Agyeeeeeeeeeeei! Aboa bi ba! You fool? Ato, you craze?” Kofi stuttered as shafts of pain tore through him agonizingly, almost rendering him unconscious.

“Ato!” Maa Abena screamed, pushing Ato back with fear. “What’s gotten into you? You know he was shot! Are you okay?”
