Episode Ten (10) – “Bloody Cock”

“I told you not to bring her back, she’s not safe here. I don’t want what happened to that woman’s son to happen to anyone- you need to take her back” My Dad said.

Did I hear them talk about sending me back to grandma’s place. No way!!! No way!!! I am not going anywhere, I am not leaving my Kobby. I have to be with him.

My heart began beating fast, I was wild, everything around me began turning in circles. I felt my body vibrating in anger.

That is it. I am always out of control when i am angry. Then that annoying cock started crowing again. This time around it was so loud. And I hated it. I wanted to kill it.

I went straight to the kitchen, took a knife and went straight outside. There it was, still crowing. It wasn’t easy to catch. I caught it by the leg and cut its head off completely.

The Knife, my hands and body was messed up with the cock’s blood. This caught the attention of my parents that they came rushing out to me.

They were surprised to see me in the cocks blood while it laid on the floor twitching slowing into death.

That didn’t give me satisfaction. I was wild. My mum and dad feared to come close to me. They saw rage in my eyes and thought I will hurt them.

I don’t know what came over me, I began to scream so loud and began tearing my dress apart. Somehow, I dropped the knife. That was the only moment my dad could have the courage to come rushing towards me and grab hold of me.

“Let me go, let me go. Leave me alone, leave me alone” I screamed. I was half naked by then. I don’t know where my mum got the rope, I saw her coming with it and then they began to tie me up.

I felt helpless. I screamed the more.

“Kobby Kobby” I began calling out to the love of my life. I couldn’t believe my parents were hurting me.

That moment I hated them. I wanted to kill them like I killed the cock.

“I’ll kill you all” I screamed. At this point my feet and hand had been tied together. I hardly could move.

I was helpless. I knew if Kobby was here, he would have saved me.

Then I called out to him again. “Kobby. Kobby, Kobby”

On the third call. I saw Kobby on our compound starring at me in tears. He didn’t make a move, he was just crying.

What is wrong with my Kobby. I was so concerned about him than me.

“Kobby don’t cry, I’ll be fine” I said. Then suddenly I felt something had been pricked into my body.

It was my dad, he had injected me. That was it. I didn’t see anything anymore.

Episode Nine (9) – “For Love”

Before I could observe any longer, there was a tap on my shoulder from behind. I turned, and there he was, my Kobby.

My sweet loving Kobby. When I saw him, I felt happy. I missed him so much. I remembered how much I wanted to hug and kiss him but there was no way I could do that at his house.

“What are you doing here” he asked.

“Looking for you, what else would I be doing here” I asked.

“Get out of here before my mum sees you” Kobby said.

At that point I didn’t care if his mother sees me or not. But I had to obey Kobby on the condition we meet up later that evening at our usual spot.

I couldn’t even get the time to ask who there were mourning. All I care was the fact that I met my Kobby.

So as I laid in bed, all this memories came flashing at face. One thing I knew was after the visit to my Grandmother, everything between Kobby and I had changed.

Even the relationship I had with my parents had also changed. They were too cautious of me and never wanted me to be alone. I had to practically sneaked out all the time.

Oh Kobby, I was even so happy when he brought up the blood covenant Idea, apparently that was the last thing we did before mum took me to grandmother.

With that in mind, I checked my thumb and could see the wound had still not properly healed. It was all because of love.

With this covenant, I knew we were going to stay till death do us apart.

Fortunately, I was able to catch some sleep after all.

I woke up at the sound of cock crowing just beside my window. I needed more sleep. I will kill this cock today for waking me up. Then I remembered Daddy had punished me to be cleaning the the coop that morning.

I hope he had forgotten. I lazily dragged myself out of the bed, went to my first aid box for pills and took them.

Not like, I knew why I was taking those pills but I had become so used to them. I was made to take them every single morning supervised by my parents. I guess I don’t need their supervision anyway, they knew I’m used to it and won’t miss it for anything.

Just afterwards I went downstairs, to find the entire place empty. There were no sign of my parent.

I went straight towards their room and from where I was I could hear them talking from their room. Just for being curious, I decided to listen to what they were saying.

“I’m worried about her, it’s getting worse again” My mum said.

“I told you not to bring her back, she’s not safe here. I don’t want what happened to that woman’s son to happen to anyone- you need to take her back” My Dad said.

Episode Eight (8) – “Bozanga”

“Kobby stop stop stop stop” I called out. Then suddenly I woke up. It was relief to see that I was dreaming.

My nightie was soaked in my own sweat. I felt tasty – then I took a glass of water. I just didn’t understand what was happening around me.

Why am I having this dream? And Kobby’s request was freaking me out like never before. I checked the time and it was just 2 am.

I laid back on the bed with my eyes fixed on the ceiling. Why is everything changing now? There have never been a tensed moment between Kobby and I.

We started our secret affair about a year ago when he mistakenly hit me with his “Bozanga” bicycle in our neighborhood.

I had been seeing him around though but nothing really sparked me up about him. He was just an ordinary guy until that faithful day.

I think I got a scratch on my left leg when he hit me with his bike. I remember he helped me up and I felt his gentle and soft palms. Then his fragrance was something that I won’t forget.

I believe that was what made me notice him. From there, everything began, we feel in love with each other and found a way of meeting secretly. Sometimes we met at the public borehole in our community.

You can imagine the look on his face when I told him his mother was once my teacher. He laughed so loud. Even he didn’t like to be taught by his mother. He was aware how strict his mother was.

There’s this one time, I needed to talk to Kobby over our plans for the upcoming community festival. I tried to sneak into their house but Jojo the dog kept barking here and there.

I hated that dog so much that I had wanted to even poisoned it if I only had the chance to. Everything between Kobby and I was just like what I saw in the romantic movies.

Just when I thought everything was going perfect, one morning, all of a sudden, mum took me to Accra to see my grandmother. And for a whole month, I had not seen Kobby.

I was helpless the entire time, until we came back. The first thing I did was to ran out of the house and headed straight to Kobby’s house.

Upon reaching there, I saw something different. There were guests all around the house and the main door was left open. There was some sought of event, with most of the guests in black and red like what they use to wear at funerals.

From distance, I saw Ms. Benson crying while being comforted by some others. It was obvious that someone had died in the family.

Before I could observe any longer, there was a tap on my shoulder from behind. I turned, and there he was, my Kobby.
