I gave Afine some money to buy ice blocks and some other necessary items needed to preserve Kofa' s body at home. The preservation of body is usually done by an old woman who is no longer sexually active or a woman in her menopause. Despite what Kofa had done he was my buddy, we used to take strolls and discuss girls, we use to talk about our fantasizes late into the night. It was all my fault, i should have questioned him immediately Ama pointed out his weird behaviours to me. I would have saved two lives if only i had taken actions immediately. That stupid man ( Papa Ayi) had said my purpose in life is different! What exactly is my purpose in this cursed life! I went into Kofa' s hut where his body was preserved with ice block. The room smelled foul, foul smelling water was dripping from his anus and manhood, a sign, which we believe in Togo that the person was a LovePeddler or he or she had misused their body ( sexually) when they were alive.


" Kofa, Kofa" i called softly.

His eyes flew open and i stood rooted to the ground in fright and shock but i continued " Kofa i forgive you"

His eye lids closed back. I couldn't believe what just happened but i didn't tell anyone,afterall, i was already a man and real men don't let on that they were scared or they got spooked. His folks came to appease the gods with gins and a goat, i was certain the priests would be jubilating in their shrine because of the goat. After the necessary sacrifice his parents were allowed to take his corpse away for burial.


Pam cried very night, she refused to eat and became as thin as a straw, she kept Ama and i awake every night. I came home from the market where i had gone to labour one evening and i stood back in shock.

" Nma!"


Her apparition hovered over Pam that was sleeping. It was not uncommon for dead souls to come back trying to steal their loved ones. Why is Nma trying to take Pam away? "

" Nma Please leave her alone, i will take good care of her" i said. " Please"

She vanished into thin air. She must have perceived Pam' s unhappiness, i made a vow there and then to always treat Pam like a royalty. I became restless as the months slowly progressed, how will i conquer the world with the proceeds of carrying sacks of rice at the market, no honest job could give me what i want. Time to go in search of the devil, but why won't he come look for me? i knew my days in my little home Town were numbered but what do i do with Ama and Pam? who will take care of them in my absence? do i take them with me on my quest to seek for the Devil? all these questions kept me awake every night. I lost my appetite for food, smiling became a thing of the past, Ama is now one eyed, Pam is still in beginners class, there was no one to care for them while am gone, i don't even know where to find the Devil. One night i made my decisions and finally i was at peace again.

Yes the custom is so barbaric and unjust. In the past the law included shaking another man who isnt ur husband' s hands, sleeping ( not sex o),on the same bed with a grown man( including ur own son) bt wit time those two were cancelled. Thanks babe

Wow! Thanks for the update. Kojo, Pam and Ama, the devil and the money...what's gonna happen next?!

Episode 5

A new beginning

My sparse belongings were neatly folded into a small blue and white check bag ( Ghana_must go bag) it is now or never, i had explained everything to Ama and Pam, that i was going to Lome ( Capital city) in search of greener pastures. Before i had the ' talk' with Ama, i had already spoken with Afine who agreed to look after them. I picked up my bag and came out of the hut. Pam was crying and clinging to me while Afine consoled her. I couldn't find Ama in the compound.

" Do you know where Ama is? "

" I haven't seen her today." Afine bent to take Pam into her arms"

" I really want to see her before i leave"

" Please don't leave me behind bro" Pam cried pulling on my hands.

" Pam i will be back for you, soon " i wiped away her tears.

She continued crying. I brought out some money and handed them to Afine.

" Am running late Navi ( Auntie). Please take good care of my sister, she is all i have left."

" Kojo i swear on your mother' s grave that i will keep her safe"

" Tell Ama i regret leaving without saying good bye to her. I promise to come for them soon "
Pam' s shril wail followed me all the way to the motor park. I saw her from afar, pacing up and down with a frown on her beautiful face. A bag, was at her feet. I closed the little distance between us.

" What are you doing here?"

" What does it seem to you? What took you so long?"

" Ama why are you here with your bag?"

" Kojo you ask too many questions! please let's go board a bus already!" She placed her palm against her forehead" my head is pounding "


" Ama you can't go with me! I don't even know where am heading to or how i will survive when i get there "

" Good! All the more reasons why you need me! My brother gave me so money when he brought the letter for you that day".

" Ama you have to go back home"

" Home?!" She spat out with disgust. " Home where my father plucked out my eye? home where my mother got into a taxi never looking back even as i sobbed my heart out?! Have you forgotten that, that so called sweet home has been burnt to the ground! If you won't take me with you, i will leave this cursed Town by myself!"


She picked up her bag and marched angrily to where Lome bus was. I ran after her. The bus filled up quickly. I could see Albert' s face, Mensah, Nma and Pam as the bus took us slowly to whatever fate that awaits us in Lome. I remembered the day Ama and i went to the field, she had looked so beautiful running in the open field with me, with no care in the world. Pam. I will surely come back for my darling little sister, i held on to the hope that Afine will keep her safe. Ama laid her head against my shoulder, my Ama. Am no longer going to let life dictate for me henceforth, i swore to myself that i would re_write my own destiny, i will decide whatever happens to me henceforth. I don't know what plans the good lord has for me or what my purpose in life is but i do know this: I desire to be wealthy and i want to beat President Komla Amuzu so bad, nothing and no one will stop me now.

Wonderful story, this has kept me busy today.
Waiting for the rest of it.[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

Menhh, hope Ama won't be a distraction?

Love this story, especially the different cultures of the Togolese that was talked about.
Kudos to the writer. More knowledge to you
