"Mmmgh!?" He asked throatily.
"Why do you ask anyways? Seems you have an interest in her?" She inquired back quizzically with a twinkle in her eyes.
"No!" He shouted abruptly. "Not per say baby." He continue uncomfortably. Exactly where Jennifer wanted him. "I had a chat with Asamoah a few days back." He began elaborating before she interrupted him to inquire about his friend.
OMG! How is he doing? With all the craziness unfolding, I had forgotten he even existed. Hope he is doing good?"
"Of course! He is .. zzzzz." He said suggestively dallying a bit. Although, I believe I should be asking you ladies that with due respect to distance. That not withstanding, during our conversation he informed he'd not seen his woman for sometime. So I thought, maybe she was extremely busy with both you with work. Considering the fact that girls are like blood as much as workaholics.
"Well! Not really. Besides,now I am stronger than I ever used to be, so I could talk to her to try go see him. I didn't and wouldn't have prevented her from doing that in the first place though. You already aware of our sisterhood and she was quiet shaken up with my awful predicament." She told him followed by a rhetorical question. "Can you imagine she cried from the moment she realized I had passed out in the house up to the hospital?"
She narrated. Since she had decided to tell him the truth? she was unveiling the scenarios that occured behind him bit by bit where necessary.
"I was later told she blamed herself all through the time I was out cold in a partial coma and wouldn't badge when the doctor asked her to go home, fresh up also rest or else she'd be the next to be on admission .. but no! She stayed until I woke up to talk her into it. Even so, she waited, brought me home, made sure I was all settled then stayed back." She explained to him.
"Hhmm!" Old soldier sighed heavily sad. "It seems a lot of very crux information was kept from me. Turbulent things took place and I was kept in the dark. That on the sides, I think she took responsibility for what happened to you and is taking the blame thing too hard on herself. Which is making her neglect her life for you. In short! She is still feeling heavily guilty, that is why she can't help but stay with you." He expressed his observation.
"If that should really be case? Then it's serious." She added concerned.
"Just my opinion though, but I think she was traumatized by the incident." He buttressed.
"No way!" Jennifer screeched.
"Never say never hon! ," he hammered.
"Then she needs help ASAP! "She stated out right. "Now I feel bad. Oh! Mansa!" She lamented. "She didn't need do nothing talk less of to take responsibility in the first place and to this extent. She should know me by now. My stubbornness could win a world record award. Now she was in ruin unconsciously for my sake " she says pausing then posing a question to old soldier. "Do you think she realizes what is happening here?"
"I am not sure. I personally think she doesn't. psychologically this could be some how associated with psychosis. To her she is only taking care and keeping you company whereas in reality she is doing it with a knot in her brain. Thus guilt, an unfitting hold to an unhealthy emotion.
"I appreciate her so much but she shouldn't put her life on hold for me. "
she complained with worry.
"Don't stress yourself baby, it was only my assumption. Besides coma we could always get help for her if it turns out to be the case. However, it is clearly established Mansa cares about you a lot. I'd dare say even more than a sister. " He told her. If only they knew the heart of mansa, her agenda for staying around them they'd be disgusted. If only they were aware that the initial genuine consent had morphed into a malicious intent? they'd be extra cautious with her. Innocence and ignorance has sent a many to an early painful grave.
"She is an angel." credited Jenn.
"I concur! She truly is."He also agreed. Had i known is said to always come last. If only he knew there was going to surface an underlining regret? He would have debunked that statement outright. "Anyways, let me leave you go get some rest now my double decker." He teased. "please don't worry your head over Mansa. A solution will come up at the right time." He told her after setting the ball rolling to help his friend's s*x starved situation sorted out. "Nor should you exert yourself in the name of what Togui did, remember there is a rebound to everything supernatural. let's take it easy until I talk to Togui then we see the way forward ok." he persuaded her sweetly.
"Sure love! But I wish we could talk more." She complained.
"same here baby, but for your health as well as my position; this is all we getting and am regretful. I promise to make it up to you when I return. I love you!" Blowing her a kiss.
"I love you most." She responded before they ended their conversation.
After old soldier hanged up the call, he was left in deep thought on what Jennifer had told him. The needy lack whiles those that posses are unaware what to do with their blessings. Many are those who just wish the old wise man would view them just as distance relatives but are unfortunate. There he was with his biological father gone to the afterlife but blessed with a second chance of enjoying a father. A man way more qualified to be his substitute father with vast benefits to reap yet he hesitates.
