“Pillows & Cushions”
-By Elton Nana Amoah
Episode Four (4) – “The Snitch in Me”
My heart sunk when I saw who Yvonne was dating, it was Fina’s husband. Though I was shocked and feared he may be able to make me out. He starred at me mostly when he came. There was no doubt that, I looked so familiar to him.
“Meet Josh, my boyfriend” Yvonne introduced him as he stretch forth his hand to give me a hand shake. “This is a very good friend of mine, we go way back in school” That was what Yvonne told him about me. I was not ready to stay in the house for another minute. I just wanted to leave before he makes me out.
“I have to be on my way Yvonne, Have somethings to catch up” I said.
“So soon, I thought you would hang around so you guys can get to know each other” Yvonne said. “Hell no” I said to myself, making very sure that, it didn’t come out aloud.
“Speaking of getting to know each other, you really look familiar, have we met before” Josh said. That wasn’t a good sign, I had to get out of the house at all cost. My time was limited.
“Oh no, I don’t think so. This is the first time I’m meeting you anyway” I said. “Yvonne, I really need to leave. It’s quite urgent” I continued.
Having said that, Yvonne walked me to the exit door of her house and shut the door behind her so that, Josh wouldn’t see what was going on outside.
“So why in so much of a hurry, don’t tell me you are jealous” Yvonne said. Perfect!! That was going to be a good excuse to aid in my escape.
“Yvonne, I know there is no feelings attach to our relationship but I don’t know why, I am being jealous over this” I said.
“Men, you always think with the thing between your legs, I knew it” She said. From nowhere, she gave me a deep kiss.
“Come back tonight, he won’t keep long here” Yvonne said and went back inside. That was a close call, I didn’t waste any more time. Off I went, like someone who just got the news that his house is on fire. That was how narrow my escape was.
Thinking of what I just saw, this may be a good opportunity to have Fina to myself. I rushed quickly to Fina’s house knowing very well that it could be risky. But I didn’t mind, I knew she would be alone, I knew where her husband was as at that time.
Fina was surprise to see me at her house. I once again had the opportunity to meet my daughter. She had grown so beautiful in the likeness of her mother. But she had my eyes anyway. I hugged her so tight that I wish I could never let her again. That was the kind of love a father has for his daughter.
So here we are, re united like a family. Fina, the mother of my child and the woman I love yet I can’t be with her. At least, I can’t be with her for now, I knew she was going to leave her husband at all cost after I tell her what her husband is doing behind her back.

“Look, I don’t understand, what the hell are you doing here? Do you realize, you are still wanted by the police? What if my husband finds you? Fina said.
“I know he won’t find me because I know where he is Fina” I said. You can imagine the look on her face when I said that.
“What” Fina asked.
“Yes, I know where he is as we speak” I hammered on it again. But before I could say anything more, a knock on the door came that freaked me out. I thought it was him.
“Relax, my husband doesn’t knock when he is coming to his own house” Fina said and went to see who was at the door.
There was no cause for alarm. I was totally relieved when she said that. Now, I found myself looking at my daughter eating candy. Like I said earlier on she was really beautiful but then, that was also short lived.
Fina came back with my wife Sobena and her child. Apparently, they had return from South Africa.
To be Continued on Monday.
