#Simone’s story continues #

I remember one morning when I was taking a stroll with Biggie downtown.

A man from nowhere approached us grabbing Biggie by the shirt.

He complained about how Biggie dubed him of his money,promising to make him a billionaire.

“Your friend promised to let me become a richman overnight.He demanded I sent him 50,000gh for an exchange of 150,000gh which I agreed.
“I did my part of the deal and that was all, no money returned,the man explained.

To my uttermost surprise, Biggie denied ever seeing the man and threatened to call a policeman who was by then directing traffic.

The man knowing very well that he would be arrested, pleaded with Biggie to keep quiet.

Biggie kept quiet and asked the man to leave the scene which he peacefully obeyed.

He cursed Biggie before he left.
Immediately the man left, I asked Biggie of the whole story which he narrated to me.

“He was one of my clients I robbed some days ago. I gave him 2000gh which was real cash but I convinced him that it was counterfeit. I withdrew the money from the bank which he escorted me to confirm that indeed it was more of real cash other than counterfeit.

I asked him to send 5000gh because he wanted to be 150,000gh richer. I asked him to drive me to a nearby bush which he did without hesitation.

He took me to that nearby bush where I placed some notes in water for him to watch how the colour turned just for him to believe that they were fake money yet the bank could not detect with their counting machine.

Little did he know that I missed some chemicals in the clean water.

“I would have called the cops on him, should he have threatened further,Biggie explained.

I adviced him to stop that deadly job of his but like always, he was too dumb to comply.

“Come to think of it, you wouldn’t have told me you were 150,000gh richer if not for that client of yours, would you?, Simone asked.

“I was going to tell you about my adventure before that same person I was about telling you showed up. It’s strange isn’t it, Biggie asked. “Yeah it is, I was about to to dragged to the Police station thanks to you,Simone said.
Biggie beseeched me to forgive him which I did easily because he enticed me with 200gh just for me to forgive him.

*The following day came sooner than I expected sending sunrays to disturb my sleep.
I woke up at half past seven only to find Biggie seated comfortably in the couch with pizza in front of him on the centre table.

He was enjoying himself with the Pizza with a bottle of beer in hand and another on the table.
I coughed for him to feel my presence in the room.

“Simone, you are awake… Come join me. Here is a bottle for you.. Biggie said offering a bottle of vodka to me…
I stood there frozen.I was indeed taken aback by his gestures.

“Was it not this same Biggie who some few days ago was borrowing Gari from me before he could survive, Simone mummered to himself.
“Wonders they say shall never end.

I wonder how Bad people like Biggie always become rich overnight and good people suffer.

I took the bottle of vodka,searched for the alcohol content which was quite manageable by me and placed it back on the centre table.

I did that because Biggie had done it before,sending me back to bed with a bottle of whisky he offered me some time ago without me checking for the alcohol content.
I woke up at about 4:30pm that day. He made me not to go for work that day.

My Boss was so furious with me the next day I went to work that I almost lost my job.
So for this time, I was vigilant because our elders say, “It is only a fool whose testicles are stepped on twice.

I tasted some pizza and it was very tasteful after which I took some sips from the bottle of vodka. I took it along with me when I decided to leave his presence, a major rule to be learnt when drinking with a friend.

“Trust nobody, because you can be poisoned anytime by a friend just because you trust him, so you leave your beer with him and go to God knows where… Simone advised.
*After the meal that morning, Biggie informed me about his plans for his new catch,Pebbles his girlfriend….
