Dial - Season 1 - Episode 61

I clasped her hand desperately.

Her hand was so soft, so perfectly formed. Her fingers were sleek, long, and delicate. It felt good holding her hand.

“Please, Dede, I beg of you, do that for me!” I whispered tremulously. “Two men of God couldn’t help me! I’m now going to see a third one. Actually, I was on my way when you showed up. I’m praying that I can find a solution to this!”

She stood up abruptly, dropping my hand suddenly, and brushed a lock of stubborn hair from her brow.

“My brother is powerful, Yao, and I don’t think any of those fancy pastors can really do anything to help. If you must see a pastor, it must be a really staunch and power-filled man of God. Well, I’m getting late for work, Yao. I’ll go and ask for a couple of days off, from my accumulated leave days, and go and see my brother.”

“Thank you very much, Dede,” I said despairingly. “Can I come with you?”
She shook her head.

“No, not yet. Let me see him first, and then we would take it from there,” she said and picked up her handbag.

I drove her to the hospital she had recently been transferred to. She had insisted on getting down along the way, but I insisted on taking her.

A few days ago I definitely wouldn’t have done that; I never showed such crass kindness to women I had no intention of adding to the Dial List.

When she was getting down I reached out suddenly and held her hand.

She turned and looked at me with those wonderful, beautiful eyes.
“Listen, Dede, I’m really sorry about what happened to Akos,” I said softly. “I would like to go and see where she was buried, and maybe erect a monument over her grave.”
“That wouldn’t be necessary, Yao,” she said with a sad smile. “Maybe a flower on her grave, that would be okay. Yes, I’ll take you to see her grave, after my talk with my brother. I’ll keep in touch.”

I watched her go, and watched that amazing body of hers twitching. She was so ethereal, so beautiful, so indescribable…a very perfect candidate for Dial Listing…

But of course, I wasn’t in that frame of mind anymore.

I sighed, and drove fast to see Prophet Doctor Ekow Dadzie.

Maybe, with the Prophet’s help and Dede’s supplications to his wicked brother, my frightening aging process would be reversed…maybe!
