Dial - Season 2 - Episode 61

There were several framed pictures on the wall, and the one he was pointing to showed him and Akos in a happy mood as they held each other and hugged.

“That is Akos, my daughter Akos, my third daughter!” he said fiercely. “I have three brothers, and one sister called Salormey! I don’t have a sister called Dede!”
And that was when I became frantic and so disoriented!

I shook my head with pain.
“You don’t understand!” I said weakly. “Akos is an only daughter of Nana b0s0mba. She…she had a chain. She wrote to Nana b0s0mba not to kill me! Nana b0s0mba came to Accra to see me! He put a curse on me that is making me grow old till I die! I…he told me to come here and marry his sister Dede or I’ll die! I also came to say farewell to Akos, because I treated her badly! Please, stop doing this to me!”

The man stood up and barked out an order.
A woman scurried out of the room, and presently returned with a box.

The man opened the box.

Inside was a letter and the ring I had given to Akos!

He snatched up the letter and showed it to me.
“Yes, this is the letter my daughter wrote to me, explaining everything!” he hissed dangerously. “How you promised her marriage, how you made love to her, how she found out she was pregnant! Read the letter! She begged me not to kill you, but I wanted to kill you, every day I tried to kill you but something…some strange power always stopped my spiritual arrows! But now you have been delivered to me!”
“I don’t understand!” I screamed loudly. “The…the Nana b0s0mba came for Akos’ body in the city! He said she was buried in the cemetery of the humiliated souls! Alright, alright, how did you get the body of Akos?”

“An ambulance brought her to the lake, and then a canoe brought her over, with her possessions! A stranger, a policeman, came to explain what happened! I never went to Accra!”

“And you never put this…this spell of growing old on me?” I asked with real fear now.

“No!” the man screamed. “I am Nana b0s0mba! You killed my daughter! Why would I want you to grow old? I want you dead, dead, dead and dead! Like all your other accomplices whom I killed, Mr. Yao Biko!”
