of the hotel. I hugged the little boy and said goodbye. I did not want to believe him but it made no difference if I didn’t. I got to the other street of the hotel leading to Estate junction. I boarded a taxi. I sat at the back seat. With just a minute away; the passenger at the front seat turned and said you are welcome. I lifted up my head and goodness, you won’t believe this; it was Mawusinu. The smile on her face made me miss a heartbeat. For five seconds we were all quiet. I knew with Mawusinu in the front seat the Driver already knew my destination. Fear and uncertainty gripped my emotions. I knew my chance of survival was an illusion. Mawusinu broke the silence; “ I answered, “ I cunningly replied. Mawusinu’s submission confused me the more. Her kind words were too nice to trust Gerald; but what about if she was also pretending? I still needed to run away I said to myself. We got to the Pharmacy; she also alighted from the taxi and escorted me inside. I got myself some Paracetamol tablets. We left the Pharmacy but she insisted I visited the Clinic rather, since she wasn’t okay with self-medication. I promised her I will be fine.

from Mawusinu turned and drove towards the hotel. I knew it was game over for me. Getting close to the Hotel she had a call. The call came from a close relative who had come from the United Kingdom hearing of Grandma’s demise. Mawusinu left with a smile on her face expecting me back home.

She told the Taxi Driver all the good things I did for her.

when we were getting close to the house. Mawusinu’s car was parked three houses away from our house. She saw it but never commented. I knew something was fishy. We got to our gate too but she made the driver bypassed it. There I knew this wasn’t funny any longer. She alighted in front of her neighbour’s house and asked me to sit in the car as she fetched Auntie Kukua. It made no sense to me. Why would Auntie Kukua be in a neighbour’s house whilst Jojo and Gerald were already home? And even the other house help was also home. Oh heavens! I became terrified. I turned my back and I saw Mawusinu’s car getting closer. But I thought it was parked? I asked myself angrily. It got very close and I saw the driver. It was Mawusinu. How did that happen? I saw her walking to her neighbour’s house. Things weren’t right here. I looked at the Taxi Driver and begged him to move. He was adamant. I pleaded and asked him to save me.
