Once a brother, always a brother, no matter the distance, no matter the difference and no matter the issue. ~Byron Pulsifer

[Rosaline's POV]

After a long tiring boring journey , I finally reached my destination. You couldn’t imagine my joy when I reach Accra . It was like setting my foot on the promised land.

I loved Accra the moment I set my eyes on her beautiful sceneries.

Accra was steadily populated.

I learnt in school from my Geography Teacher Mr. Nonso,

that Accra was as one of the best cities for tourism in Africa.

The town was a blend of the modern buildings with shanty towns and castles and the most noticeable are the hyped markets. The Makola market is an eye catch for many. It is always busy during peak and off-peak days. The place is usually crowded by business people selling different artifacts.

I could now see the relationship between what I learnt from my Geography teacher in the classroom and the real life situation now.

Mr. Nonso Lancelot taught me that one of the most noticeable land mark in Ghana is the James Fort situated in the suburbs of Jamestown.

He said it used to a prison for slaves during the colonial times.

It stayed a prison until a decade ago when the Government declared it a museum. It is one the strongest and oldest buildings that have stood the test of time. The dungeons are favorites for the tourists as it reveals the nature of how slavery was conducted in Accra.

When I reached Accra Station , I called my brother. Within a few minutes, he came to the station to meet me. You can imagine my Joy and limitless laughter when I saw my brother again after roughly five months of separation that night I was kidnapped by Zolabin’s thugs.

I ran towards him and he also ran towards me shouting

“R-O-S-S-S-A-A-A-L-I-N-E” and I also shouted,

” M-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-K-E”

We were oblivious to the great crowd whose attention had been suddenly diverted towards us.

We hugged each other firmly as if it was the hug of a lifetime!!

“Sister, I missed you so much,” She said.

“Bro. I missed you to”

Some of the people in the crowd even clapped for us, mistaking our show of love for each other for a romantic relationship.

“Oh, God, thank you. I nearly die when you were kidnapped. I tried to called you to warn you about it but my phone went off due to low battery.”

I was surprised Mike said he knew about the kidnap. How could he have known about my kidnapping ?

In order to clear my doubts, I asked him how he got to know.

He told me when he was released from the police station, he decided to check on our father’s house.

He said he chanced on a conversation between Zolabin and someone about a kidnapping of someone and he conjectured it could possible be him and I.

“Oh, I have even forgotten. We have to get going but let me take you on a small tour. ”

I was excited when we went to the Labadi beach. We had a lot of fun activities and boat rides.

After much fun, we left the beach and went home.

Mike’s rented apartment was small,

simple but cosy. I told him my ordeal in Zolabin’s cell and how he violated and rape me and how I fought back to the point of breaking his eye. I told him I don’t know if that eye could see clearly again. I told him how I was nearly rape again but managed to take my chances and escape.

[ Mike's POV]

Seeing my Sister felt like seeing God. I missed her so much. It never occurred to me I will see her again. She recounted how she stayed in the cell and Zolabin’s wicked violation of her womanity.

She also talked about how she did what she did to liberate herself from Zolabin’s cell.

I told her how I was also nearly kidnapped but managed to escape. I told him how I met Tife and how he got hurt and had to be rushed to the hospital, Then how I met Cassandra and how things turned out between us. I became emotional and nearly shed a tear.

Rosaline saw my moodiness and asked me, “Do you really love her?”

Her question made me smile a bit but I didn’t answer her.

Then she asked, ” Why can’t you get a Ghana girl? Is the thing not the same?

Suddenly I burst into laughter. It was uncontrollable.

“What’s funny, brother Mike?” She asked.

I told her, “Rossy, I love Cassandra too much to even think of taking another girl. That’s a betrayal.”

” …. but you told me his father got her another man..or?”

“Yes? I said, “but I knew she didn’t love him. His father was the one forcing him on her.”

Rosaline looked at me without talking.

Then I added, ” even I can die for her.”

W-H-A-T-T-T-T !!!! Brother Mike, be careful what you wish for, because our wishes have ears and sometimes they can surprise us.”

Now, about Ghana girls, they don’t date paupers like us. They date ministers, CEOs, Lecturers, politicians, Parliamentarians….Footballers, and other celebrities.

The dangerous part is ..some can manipulate and steal…”

I hold her about a Confession of a Ghanaian lady who stole her boyfriend’s money. She looked quite surprise. I’m order to prove my case, I searched for the Newspaper named ” Daily Graphic that contained the story and I began reading it to her. It reads…

>> Confession of a lady Thief <<

“I need your help, please don’t judge me.

I was in school in one of the higher institutions in Ghana which name I don’t want to mention. I am a 23 years old and I live with my boyfriend off campus we’ve been living together for close to three years now. He loves me so much that he can do anything for me.

The apartment in which I stay with my boyfriend is a two bedroom apartment. My boyfriend and I stay happily and he promised to marry me after graduation. His younger brother aged 19 years was also staying with us in the next room.

It all started last March when I asked him for money for my tuition fee. He told me to hold on because he needed to a problem in his company which requires huge capital first.

He assured me he will give me the money in three days time.

He has always assisted me even though my parents still gives me money for my school fees and every other thing. I couldn’t do anything but to obey him.

While I was dressing up for school, I saw two bundle of money in #1000 Denomination to be precise,

in his wardrobe.

I asked myself, ” could it be he just doesn’t want to give me the money?

I was so tempted that I removed two notes from each bundle.

That was how my problem started. From then on, I started stealing money from him.

He gave me the money I asked as promised.

When he realised his money had been stolen, he loved me so much that he never accused me of being a thief but rather accused his brother who denied it vehemently.

I later put part of the money in his brothers room and my boyfriend found it there. He beat his brother mercilessly and nearly sack him away but I pleaded on his behalf.

Because he loved me so much, he listened to me and allowed his brother to stay.

Just last month I took money worth 200,000Ghc. He hid it somewhere in the room, just to be free from suspicion I told him I won’t be coming home till next week because I have to stay over at campus to prepare for a test.

He agreed.

Later that day, I sneaked into the house since I had an extra key and took the money, when I came back the following week I couldn’t find his brother and I asked of their where about.He told me that the police have arrested him and I was like ” for what?”

He said his brother stole his 200,000 Ghc and they have been in detention for two days now.

He threatened that until they confess where the money is

he won’t let them go.

I quickly went to see them at the station. My God he had been tortured. I felt the guilt within me.

I Am tempted to confess so that at least his brothers will be left off the hook but am just so afraid because if I do that, my boyfriend might chase me away and his brother will just hate me forever.

His family will see me as a thief. Please, is there any way I can go about this without losing my boyfriend and dignity ? I love him so much. I am just confused.

I want his brothers out and the only way to get them out fast is to confess I stole the money.

To add to my burden, he bought me a nice car on my birthday the following week.

Mind you, his brother is still in the cell.

Put yourself in my shoes and see how hard it is to make such confession.

I will be reading your comment……”

>>>End of Confession >>>>

WHAT!!!!! This lady is wicked!! She must RETURN the rest of the money and ran away in shame. Thief.

Then……
