Dial - Season 2 - Episode 90

I guffawed loudly, and the laughter brought tears to my eyes as I leaned forward suddenly and gave him a great hug.
He laughed deep inside his chest, and hugged me back.

I realized, quite suddenly, that he had easily filled that father space in my heart, and I would never be that lonely again.
“You’re wrong, you know,” I said, still chuckling. “I stopped myself from doing it with Maame Ntiriwaa too.”
“Apuu,” he said, chuckling. “You were just thinking that if you hammered her you would lose your chance with Adobea. If Adobea hadn’t been in the picture you would have destroyed that poor old woman like Hurricane Atobam.”

Both of us burst into raucous laughter at that, and I admitted that indeed, that had just been the case.

“Thank you, father,” I said softly. “I owe you my life.”
“You’re welcome, my son,” he said lovingly. “Now, bounce along. Time to help my sister.”

I bounced up and rushed to my room.
It was time to pack.

Oh, Abena Adobea…I miss you so!
