De final ting e come talk say if Kersten get boy self-aa, dat no for be de first time wey he for dey hear. But de truf be say, all along noh, na he figure say Kwame be Christy ein guy wey dey help Kersten small-small. So e pain am say dem fit trick am all along.

But de following day wey de matter all come spoil. Kwame already sors sey de old boy bore plus am so like e no wan come dema house again until maybe de old boy naa invite am like e do once-bi before. But Kwame dey come take ein brand-new Samsung tablet wey she lef for Christy ein dere de previous day. Dat morning, he come meet de old boy for de gate.

De Kwame guy talk am say de tablet be brand new; e be de previous day norrrh wey e tear de rubber for ein moff so e dey want am give ein daughter-aa, e take dash am. Kwame talk so norh wey e lef. Dat be de last time de two men meet before de storm.

Kwame too be an only child so e lef de Christy-Kersten concert party under give dem. He den de two girls dey communicate but e manage say dem no meet am again till de day de old boy drop de flowers wey Kersten ein best friend step for dema top.

De place be post–gra people dema hostel but de rumour be say in sugar daddy-bi mana get am give am. A girl at 26. She dey drive VW GOLF 4. She dey level 4 oha wey e be grace wey she go take finish de course because she no dey learn. She get guys we dey screw am: sugar daddy for sustenance, course mate for assignments, lecturer for grades, mechanic for service den some guy be wey dey drive MTN pick-up. As Sekyiwa talk Kwame say make dem go Sankwas ein dere noh, Kwame no wan go because e talk sey de last berfday event e go noh, e regret am. Kwame regret am but e no happen so-a, Sekyiwa wey be Kersten in best friend no go fit get chance console Kwame saa so sey e go come grab am wey dem dey go marry at de end of de year. So finally dem go Sankwas ein der. Sankwas de Champion talk everybro say she no dey. E be so she talk porters self wey she bribe dem. She come down come pick Kwame den Sekyiwa for porters lodge perh wey she quench ein fons all except de number wey de sugar daddy go reach am for top.
Dem do dema play tins finish wey Kwame go stand for de porch dey look de car park. Before ego see norrrrrh, dat Renault Laguna come pack with loud music. He shock but e no talk notin. E be dere norrh wey Sankwas get up go washroom. Abi she understand dada. Dat be where Kwame sors sey he be Lady Sankwas, de iron lady, ein shareholder some. Kwame dey watch am as he commot de car inside den carry de tins, bang den lock de door. Abi e be tird floor.
E no cher bia wey e hear footsteps; he know dos footsteps waa. Dem gree say Kwame go play tricks plus de man, but Sankwas no know what she dey bargain for. Sekyiwa too know say Sankwas get sugar daddy–bi but she no know say e be ein best friend, Kersten dema poppy. But as Sankwas talk say de man be funny but kind and jealous noh, dem say Kwame fit go ahead den play tricks on am small. Bingo!
De old boy knock de door norrh wey Kwame gbele de door for ein face. De man no dey uniform inside but Kwame salute am.
“Yes Sir, you’re welcome Sir.”
“Thank you Sir.”
De old boy ein voice go because ein troat dry at once. He conf. He no know what he go talk again. Kwame wan shake hands wif am but de man no fit. He shock pass everytin wey ein hands too be full so he get better excuse. Brand new tings zalaaa.

Now de old boy ein voice go kraa, but anytime Kwame dey laf, e too dey laf join am so Sekyiwa den Sankwas figure sey de two men dey have nice time. Dem no know say Kwame dey torture de old boy wey e dey talk true. Kwame tell am say he, de old boy no go fit make mistake for dat room ein number; de room wey ein einself pay for wey he be de first man wey bed de room dieer... Kwame no be sure of what e dey talk but e just wan yawa de paddy because ein time come. Dat be where de flower den some tins drop fall for ground. One of de tings make some “paa” sound so say de girlies figure say Kwame dey benefit some slap. E be dere de two girls come out-aa, Kwame dey laf wan enter some national guinee fowl farm inside for Dumsor City for Akosombo.

“So where is your wedding ring?” Kwame dat-oo.
“So sir, you can afford all these and a car but cannot pay air fare for Christy?”
“Sekyiwa, please leave us alone.” Sankwas want bore.
De fight wan turn Sekyiwa den Sankwas dema own. De argument wan make hot. Sankwas start push Sekyiwa from de room wey Sekyiwa come step for Sankwas ein berfday flowers top.
“Mr Mensah, Kersten will hear of this,” dat be Sekyiwa ein pledge.
“I can explain.”
“You fit explain weytin?” Kwame dey do anoder damage.
“You see, e be wrong …. you got it all wrong,” de old boy dey try talk.
“Wrong what?” Kwame de quiz master on fleek.
Kwame get upper hand now. He just dey biz-biz questions.
“Wrong address, I guess”. Kwame biz again wey e no werj any answer. Crowd start dey form for de room ein morf because Sankwas start create scene.
“Kwame, you guys get it all wrong”, dat be de old man.
Kwame laf am some queer laf; wey as Sekyiwa take Kwame ein hand wey dem dey lef noh, de old boy conf more. He just start tink about what he go talk ein wife and children norhh wey Kwame remind am “You go talk true.”
…….the end.
