Dial - Season 1 - Episode 58

.
I stared at this apparition for a long time, and as my heartbeats steadied I realized that yes, she did look a lot like Akos, but there were rather marked differences.


This woman standing beside my car was a more matured rounded edition of Akos. She was older, and had more pronounced curves and rises.


She was spellbindingly beautiful, and I stared at her for a moment, and then, trembling, I put the car into reverse and slowly backed away from the pillars, then stopped the car.
I opened the door and got out.


She came toward me slowly, and stopped within touching distance.
“Are you okay now?” she asked in a gentle voice.


I stared at her through my sunshades with a hostility that was alien to me.
“What do you want?” I asked coldly. “He sent you here to take your pound of flesh too?”

Her expression didn’t change as she continued to look at me.
“No one sent me, Mr. Biko,” she said quietly. “As it is, I really don’t even remember the last time I spoke to my brother. I’m here because Akos sent me a letter I only received yesterday. The postal delivery at the hospital isn’t quite the best.”
I stared at her for a little longer, and then I realized that I was being rude. A deep sigh escaped through my lips as I turned and opened my door again.


“Please, do come in,” I said. “May I know your name?”
“Dede,” she said in that sweet voice of hers. “Dede Nortey.”
“Thought you said you’re Nana b0s0mba’s sister?”
“I am,” she said as she walked past me into the luxurious interior.


“And the Nortey?” I asked, following her inside.


“My mother’s surname,” Dede said. “I chose not to use b0s0mba. Didn’t want to be called the child of a god.”
