LOVES NOT IN HER DICTIONARY

ENSNARED

"Either the two of you cease this nonsensical back and forth or go home!" he shouted at them. "How can you be fighting over something that was only promise and not yet presented? You girls should be ashamed of yourselves! As young and up coming females of your age, how can you be disgracing Maame and Paapa openly like this? Going at each other over liquor without remorse.'Nkwasia mba!'↔️ 'foolish girls" he roared. "Which gods did my parents wrong to have contemptible children like you two? 'throwing the question out there devastatedly' You had better counselled yourselves before I clap your useless heads together back to factory reset." he further warned "Nsem fun akwa! akwa!" ↔️"irrational beings." The two shut their mandibles never to open them until it was time to cripple him with Sweet words into their clutches.

Takyewaa returns with two litters of palm wine hurling it up in the air excitedly proclaiming.

"Me de aba ooh! Me de aba!"↔️"I brought ooh! I brought it."

"Ma me nhwe." ↔️"Let me see." Came the senior witch. "Aaah!" she moaned after after a whiff of the aromatic fermenting fragrance brushed her nostrils delicately. "this is good quality undiluted pure wine." she exclaimed.

"Adepa na etwon ne ho ampa!"

↔️"Quality sells by itself indeed!"

she says raising the keg to take a swig just to only turn in time to their brother staring daggers at her.

"Oh! Hihihi!" She screeched dramatically "Bla! Wu daaho wo ha?" ↔️

"Oh! Hihihi!" She screeched dramatically "Bro! You are still here?" she asked pretentiously as if he ever left

"Daabi! Me nni ha! Me wo fuom aa me tu bankye! Sia kwa! Anka se wu be num Ong?" ↔️ "No! I am not here! As matter of facts , I am in the farm digging up cassava! Useless fool! You were about to drink that right?" He retorted angrily pointing at the keg.

"Yie! Anka me be di boni, me nim see ko." ↔️ she laments "Yei! I was almost about to perpetuate a sin. I thought you had left." She said

"Is that supposed to be a joke or are you telling me to take my leave and expect me to comply so you could have the room to drink the Palm wine. Right?" he interrogated incredulously, pitying his parents.

"No Bla! I just wanted to test so I would determine whether it was from an old tree or a young one, not actually drink it." She explained.

"Oh! Daabi!" ↔️ "Oh! Nooo!" Shaking his head helplessly "You are unbelievably repentant." Bobby stated bluntly

"okay .. fine! I give up! I don't want this to go far. I admit, I didn't portray a fine behaviour nor did I speak well. I apologize." The senior witch admitted in fakery. A part of a strategy to make her brother let his guard down.

"No way! Wow! That was legendary!" he expressed his mock touched expression "Did you just accept responsibility now? Did I miss something? Hehehe! that's a first I think." More rhetorical than deserving an answer.

"It's not!" Abrefi Yaa the senior witch interjected.

"Anyway, I will get back to you later. Let me deal with one first." He said turning around to face a Takyewa with his arms folded on his chest.

"And you! Did your father just shoved two whole kegs of palm wine into your hands without prior investigations?" skeptically studying his sneeringly.

"Bla Bobbie!" she began avoiding his piercing serious gaze coquettishly with a taint of shameful line, fidgeting with her hands; stealing partial glances from the corner of eyes. "Nukere me se, me ka kyere me papa se me ne mo na enum. We hu se ene nsu ye afakye da. Ye to ni nyinaa efri ho aa, se wu wo ha? Me boa? Be bia nei Wu de yen be ko fei. Hehehe! Aain!" ↔️

"The truth is I told my father I was sharing with you guys and today is also a festive day besides you are here. Aren't you? or am I lying? In case of emergency you will take us home. she expatiated.

If only he knew she meant the vice versa as in 'we will take you home' rather than the previous statement.

He scanned the full body in front of him sizing her up and down in memory. Looking at her as if something was missing and he had heard the worst joke of his life too. He lets out the cynical laugh. No! there is something about her his head was buzzing uncomfortably. now he gets it. It was the way she was toying with her hands, swaying around like a weak tree in a windy weather it was making him fuzzy.

"Na eden na eye Wu oo?" ↔️ "And what the hell is wrong with you? can't you just stand still?" he asked with irritation lacing his tone.

"Oh! Bla Bobbie, kafra!" ↔️ "Oh! Bro ..Bobbie, Sorry! I didn't realize I was doing that." She said sincerely staying put nailing the sides of her dress

Of course! She would be edgy. For the first-time! Even if he was berating her, she didn't mind. He was looking at her, closer than they had ever been. She could make out all his facial features not withstanding the lost sun light, he was handsome she admitted breathlessly. Takyewaa could not help it but lose concentration and fiddle around unconsciously. His voice did things to her; She could listen to him all her life never getting enough. It was so calming to her opposing his presence looming over her, giving her the nervous tickles making her unable to be on a sport but move awkwardly. It seems this hapless day was her luckiest. To think she had been to his compound, even his room, sat on his bed and stay there for hours only to be rewarded with his indifference plus absence? To be frank, he had been mean to her, ignoring her as she didn't exist when he was the whole of her world. Then all of a sudden, now he was standing right in front of her on top talking to her? It was a miracle in itself. she took that as a good sign, thinking although, their plan was extreme? she wanted him to be hers at all cost.

"Besides, Abrefi yaa who was experienced says the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and bed. He doesn't allow me near him neither will he touching anything I have contact with. That means I can't cook for him or serve him. I am only left with the second option which am regretful for. And tonight is our night, all the tutoring and herbs from Abrefi yaa can't go to waste. I wish I could ask for forgiveness from him before I do I did that to him but I can't. I might as well walk right up to him and tell him I am colluding to take advantage of him. If only he had given me a chance, if only he had looked my way once, in fact if only he had just lifted his eyes and saw me? I wouldn't have to go this far. if he began to drink then I can also take the herbs too to relax me and ease the pain which Abrefi Yaa informed came with the first time."

oblivious to her, the senior witch had given her local aphrodisiacs. It was a combination of extremely potent s****l stimulating roots. Her luck would have run out if she had laced the drink for Bobby. Fortunately, the senior with Abrefi Yaa cautioned her against it with the lie it was specific to gender. She thought it wise not to blow the situation out of proportion. He would have split her into to irrespective of his State.

************************************

"Bra! Look around you." Abrefi Yaa the senior witch said dispirited. "The important activities are done with now, everyone is now Calming the heat in their system and quenching their thirst with beverages such as what we have. That not withstanding, Takyewaa's Father knows we are all together and are going to have a share of this palm wine. confiscating it is pointless." says the double-edged mouth senior witch Abrefi Yaa his immediate back born.

"See who is talking now, also what you are saying? I thought someone said they didn't intend to have any drink initially? What then happened now?" He asked looking at his sister credibly wondering how she could be changing colours effortlessly. A chameleon with it being it nature would still sweat it a little bit."

"If I make a suggestion, why don't you take a keg then allow the three of us also share one? since you are the senior here as well as the man too." deploying all her devices now, flattery being the first one. Moreover, we all know the nature of palm wine. Mind you every minute that passes does the fermentation process continue, before you know it would have lost it sweet taste turning sour." he decided to think it's a while before swaying his sisters way. But not before madam goodie two shoes aka junior witch, his second junior sister give her own submission on the situation.

"Bra Bob! Seriously it is now or not. Palm wine is best enjoyed when it is fresh. I for one can't tolerate the sour bitter one. please! just check out the proportion 3 to 1, we couldn't possibly get drunk with that? You can't be uptight with this till the end; it will only waste Takyewaa's Father's hard work." she concluded eloquently.

Bobby must agree with them at point in time on one or two facts. First of all he really didn't want the master piece to go to waste, secondly he also enjoyed sweet palm wine just as the three musketeer witches. Lastly he didn't want it to get sour before he tasted it. There's be no fun in drinking it anymore and the proportions they gave was also reasonable; at least one keg thus one litre of palm wine couldn't get three spoilt girls drunk. Even if they did get high on it? he was there to take care of them, never the less he would rather escape that task. After a thorough dissertation, he agreed to their suggestions and did as they said. This made the senior witch Abrefi Yaa and Takyewaa primarily elated especially Takye. She would win at the end of the day. If only she knew that would make his disdain for her skyrocket instead of magnetizing him to her? she wouldn't have dared! Yet spilled milk can't be collected.

Senior Brother took a sip, another, an extra, then another. Every chug slowly took him closer to the edge of the cliff. inattentive of the slow creeping sly manner the liquid he was a chugging down made him dreamily lost in sweetness until he was out. Takyewaa had purposely brought wine extracted from the sap of aged palm trees. The effective drink for the job. Indeed! it was. It worked to full perfection. The three girls conveyed Bobby to Takyewaa's compound, which was in close proximity to the durbar grounds than his home. Into her room, then onto her bed . They had narrowly killed two birds with one stone. The location and condition of their brother couldn't make their parents worry much but to be rest assured. They were the ones that got away as if they truly had super natural powers.

Now he is yours to have make sure you have fun. I just hope this was worth it seeing as you are also losing something valuable. this time around there was empathy in a brief answers
