Three weeks later

~Adama~

Is been three weeks since my dad left this world, I just can't accept  the fact that he is gone,hmm.

"This wasn't what hepromised,no..no,  Dad you were the only one I had, you were the one that gave me hope, now that you are gone, how will I be able to cope with this attitude of my stepmom,hmm,Dad I hope you rest well, I have missed you alot"I was seating while my right hand was placed on my cheek while muttering as tears streaming down my cheeks freely.

"Adama you need to take heart please, you have to let go and move on okay, seeing you like this breaks my heart please, please stop crying, crying wouldn't bring him back to life please,you have to move on, all that he needs now is your prayers and also for you to be strong that's what he wants from you now, Adama stop crying okay please" Anisa said while trying to console me.

"But how can I stop crying when he was all I had"I muttered while sobbing.

"Look I understand how you feel,but you just  have to let go of the dead please, look at me Adama, look come on wipe your tears and let's go outside for you to get some fresh air please, this is not you,the Adama I knew was very strong and brave,wipe your tears okay"she said as she dried my tears and drag me along with her.

" Adama please you have to take heart okay,you have to be strong for in other for him to be happy wherever he is okay,I know your late father is proud of you" Kwesi chimed in, as we were taking a stroll around the area.
"Hmm is not easy but I would try my best" I muttered.

"It is well my friend" Anisa said as she wrapped her arm around me.

"Okay while strolling let's play a game of wisdom' Anisa beseeched.

"Okay let's play'" Kwesi and I chorus at the same time.

"Let the game begin" we all chorus.
"So who goes first" Kwesi asked.

"Adama should start" Anisa uttered.

"Ok" I replied.

"If I have a bottle of fanta, and have a stick, then I put the stick in the fanta, it will give us the word Fantastic" I said they both giggled.

We continued the game of wisdom till we reached my house.

" Adama, we spent almost half a day to stroll around this area, I hope you feel better now" Anisa uttered.

"Yes I do feel much better, Anisa, Kwesi,thank you very much , for indeed you guys are my good friends,thank you for being here for me when I needed it most" I said as I hugged Anisa.

I was on my way to Eric's house when I saw Anisa, Adama and that cousin of Anisa walking, and Adama was in the middle of the two, I didn't like what I was seeing." I muttered as I hid myself behind an uncompleted building burning in rage as I saw them both laughing their hearts out.

I just don't like this cousin of Anisa at all, I smell something fishy about the way he gets closer to Adama, how he looks at her I don't just like it.

As they passed, I walked out of my hiding place,then continue burning in rage as I walked to Eric's house.

Knock!

Knock!!

"Yes I'm coming, eei my guy you're welcome" he said as he gave me a hug.

"Thank you" I muttered in a sad tone.

" Guy are you alright, is everything okay" Eric worriedly asked.

"Hmm, I sigh as I continued talking.

There is something fishy about that cousin of Anisa, what is his name again Kwesi or whatever he calls himself, He is getting too close to Adama and I don't like it.

" Look Peter I don't think so, you have to trust Adama okay, You know she loves you alot, and I don't think she would do anything that would break your heart okay, you know Adama just lost her father, it might be that he is  just consoling her, so you need to trust her.

" Okay, thanks for the advice" I uttered.

" So whatsup with the visit" Eric beseeched.

"Well I just came  for us to play cards" I uttered.

" Well then, let's sit under the neem tree, let me bring out the cards from inside" he said and entered the room.

" Okay, let me sit on the bench over there" I said as I went and sat down waiting.

The next minute  he brought out the cards,then we started and ended at around 1 hour 30minutes later.

After the game I took my leave, as he accompanied me.

I reached home at around 4pm, well upon reaching I heard my phone ringing as I checked the caller ID it was Adama, I slide the receiving button.

"Hello"

"Hi"

"How are you doing" I  asked.

I'm fine, and you? She asked.

"Same here" I replied in a very low tone.

"Really, but from the way you're speaking, it looks like all is not well" she beseeched.

Uhm, I sighed as I continued,well everything is okay with me.

" Are you sure?" She asked again.

" Yeah, am okay" I muttered.

"Well if you say so" she uttered.

The next minute I ended the call, because I was still picturing how that Kwesi was close to her, I was burning in rage.
