Crush to crash - Season 2 - Episode 2

☆☆☆☆☆

This is unbelievable. Who could this be? I thought worriedly as I headed back to the hostel

Minutes after I got back to the hostel, I heard a knock on my door.

I attended to it, and it was Ruth.

Ruth, please come in. What brings you here this late? I asked.

Mesh, I brought your clothes. She responded.
My clothes? That means you were the one who went for them.

Anyway, how did you get the card to collect them? I asked.

I was going to town in the morning when I saw you walking out of the laundry. Suddenly, something fell off from your pocket and I walked to pick it. I called you but you were far gone. I realized it was the laundry booking card, so I kept it and later went for the clothes. She explained.

Thank you very much Ruth, but you should have called me to come for the clothes rather than going through this stress of carrying them here. I responded.

Ruth sat down watching television without any attempt of leaving.

It was getting late and I didn’t know how to sack her.

Before I could think further, I heard a knock on the door.

It was one of the Christian fellowship members, Abigail.

Hello Abi, how did you locate me? You’ve never come here before. I asked.

Brother Mesh can I please come in? She asked.
Sure you can. I responded and walked her into the room.

She seemed surprised to see me at the hour with a woman. She kept stealing glances at her.
Abigail, this is Ruth, Frimpong’s soon to be wife. I introduced to avoid negative thoughts.
Anyway, what brings you here this late? I asked.

Brother Meshac, I was praying and I had a revelation about you.

I saw the devil trying to win you to his side. That is why I took the pain to come here and pray with you to stay strong. Abigail narrated.
The devil is a liar! This will not happen to me in Jesus’ name. I responded.

Abigail and I began to pray, and Ruth joined us.
We prayed deep into the night before they left.
Prayers with Ruth and Abigail became a daily routine. Due to that they became friends.
Frimpong was so happy how I managed to change Ruth.

Weeks later, out of nowhere, a strange sickness strucked Frimpong and he fell down. He was confined to bed. His parents had no option than to fly him to the states for treatment.

Ruth and I continuously prayed for his recovery.
She became so sad and devastated. I kept visiting to counsel her.

One afternoon, Abigail called me for a favor.
Brother Meshac, I visited Ruth and the way she is weeping, I feel she can harm herself. I am therefore pleading with you to attend to her whiles I attend my last lecture for the day. I will be there around 6pm after I have closed. She explained.

Quickly, I dressed up and headed to Ruth’s place.

When I entered the room, I could hear her weeping voice in the bathroom.

Ruth please come out. I am here to see you. I stated.

Go away Meshac, I want to die. I want to commit suicide. She responded in tears.
Ruth please, remember in difficult times, the best option is to pray. Don’t take away your life. I responded in panic.

I am tired of praying Meshac! Just leave me alone! Go away! I must die today! She screamed.

Immediately, I could hear her climbing up on a chair.

Ruth! Ruth! What are you doing? I screamed.
I called severally out to her, but there was no response.

I then took a bold decision and rushed into the bathroom.

Unfortunately, she was fully naked.
Meshac, ignore it and save her life. A voice echoed in my mind.

Lo and behold, she had climbed up on a table and was tying a rope to the ceiling to commit suicide.

I hurriedly pushed her from the table, and her naked body fell into my arms.
