Episode Three
"Oh no, that won't be necessary" I smiled and said
"Come on, gentlemen don't reject offers especially when those offers are coming from women" She said.
I got back smiling. Within 4 minutes she was done serving me with waakye in a "take away" pack.
I took the pack and said "Thank You God bless you" with a smile.
"You are welcome" she replied with a smile too.
"Eerm well I am Micheal yeah Micheal" I said to her.
"Oh nice I am Katherine" she said.
"Nice meeting you Kathy" I said with a smile
"Nice meeting you to Mike" she replied
I left to the house after bathing I ate the delicious waakye and took a long sleep.
I went to make enquires about how much it will cost to buy a container. I did the payment and started making provision for my new business.
On my way back home I met a colleague soldier, he was my senior actually.
He was soo happy to see me.
"Mike, oh my God where have you being hiding?" He asked
"Hahaha Ofori I'm good soldier, I have just been on a low key" I replied
"Hahaha, Nice I heard about your resignation from the military. I was told you said you want to continue with your education and concentrate on something else. Mike you are a good soldier. You shouldn't have left but then I trust you will Excell in your new field and adventure just like you did in your unit" Ofori said.
"Resignation?" I said to myself "eerm Oh yeah, thanks very much too brother. It is well once a soldier, always a soldier" I said to him.
"Hahaha copy that spartan" he replied
When I got home I couldn't stop thinking, because deep within me I knew I didn't resign but then I was sacked. So who told him I resigned?
All too soon the container for my mobile money and airtime selling trade was ready. I made one young girl who just completed Shs to come work with me.
She was suppose to be in the shop for the sales and transaction.
I taught her all she needed to know.
I was writing letters around for a possible employment. But occasionally, since where the container was is closer go the main road and the toll booth, I do take some of the recharge cards to sell just to kill boredom.
One hot afternoon I was by the room side as usual when the little girl who take charge of my shop came calling. She is called Abena.
I rushed to check why she came calling.
According to her a lady brought 2,000 cedis to deposit but she told her she can only deposit 1000 cedis per the rules of the telecos but then she should leave all the 2000 she will send the 1000 and will send the other thousand in the next 24hrs but she didn't understand.
Her problem was that she can't trust her(Abena) with the money.
I asked where the lady is and she pointed at her going.
I run after her, I got to her and tap her on the shoulder. She was no other person than Katherine the waakye seller.
"Mike!, what are you doing here?" She said looking surprise but happy.
"I work here, the shop you left a while ago is mine" I said panting.
"Oh really?" She asked
"Yes, the small girl was right, trust us with your money. We shall send the rest in 24hrs. If you go to other places they will tell you the same thing" I said.
The look on her face was an indication that she is convinced to some extent. She followed me back to the shop.
I took the fone and transfered the first 1000 cedis. She made a call to confirm if the receiver had received the money and the person confirmed yes. She told the person the rest will come the next day.
I thank her for her cooperation and understanding. When she was about to leave, I asked for her contact.
She was reluctant. "Yes I know you have a boyfriend. You are beautiful that I am aware but I'm not taking your contact to propose" I said.
"Hahaha crazy!, why are you putting words into my mouth? I didn't say anything. I just don't give out my line but with you I have no choice so I will give it out" she said smiling.
"Good girl, can I have it now?" I asked
"Sure, 0540793284 call or whatsapp" she said.
I nodded and she left with a smile.
I couldn't take off my eye from her big round ass as she walks away. I smiled to myself and licked my lips.
After work that evening I called her thrice but she didn't pick any of the calls. I sent her a text on whatsapp but never had a reply as well.
I said my prayers for the night and slept.
Deep in my sleep I heard my fone vibrating. I woke up. When I checked the time it was quarter after twelve a.m.
I checked out whom the caller was and it was no other person than Katherine.
