No
sooner had Siisi sat on the sofa than the phone rang again. “He wants to
threaten me again?” he thought. He got up and started towards the TV stand with
his eyes fixated on the new 55-inch LG OLED TV set which sat atop the stand. He
was yet to get the installer to come mount it firmly on the wall. “Ouch! He
screamed when he hit his knee against the glass centre table. He cussed as he
sat on the sofa again wincing in pain. He examined the knee if a contusion had
formed at the affected part. He rubbed it. The Whatsapp tone beeped not
long after the call had ended. Limping and grimacing in pain with each step
taken, he reached the phone and saw the missed call and message, both from
Tina.

Short Story: The "Confession"...Episode 4
“Already?”
Tina asked, wearing a bemused countenance. “My shift starts at 4pm today”
Philipp answered, whilst dropping two freshly minted, crispy GHS 50.00 notes on
the table. The confusion in Tina’s mind grew some more. “Today is Saturday, Dr.
Philipp Ayensu, and you have the day off, remember?” Tina shot back. “Huh?”
Philipp feigned inattentiveness whilst searching his perplexed mind for an
appropriate answer. “The hospital called whilst I was in the washroom…
Apparently, Dr. Agyiri is indisposed, so I have to be in the consulting room in
his stead”. Both ladies exchanged looks, and then stared at him. Philipp
immediately knew he’d messed up with that lie.

Lover boy. You di33 I dey envy you

messages sent. “My guy, gye wo two w’ati? Hair on chest and things. My guy, you
