"Sorrows of An Eagle"
Episode 7

He was a prince and he needed to know everything. He would coil in his shell if he's always beaten.

Oheneyere Asantewaa pampered her son. Every woman would do so, besides he was the only child so far, the crowned prince of Nyakrom.
He would not be respected if people saw him being beaten and shouted at.
He grew up without knowing the customs and traditions of the land, because he was far away from his father.
His mother was not teaching him, because no matter what, he would ascend unto the throne.

This brought bitterness and sorrow to Nana Aduhene Sekyi. He was already sixty and his son was not man enough to ascend the throne. He wasn't knowledgeable enough to rule his people.
Was that a punishment from God? Maybe he forced God to give him a child of which he could have waited for some time.
He thought of it throughout the night. His pillow couldn't take away his burden.
Maybe, it was high time he took upon himself his responsibility.
He needed to call Nyamekye Adepa to order. He needed to talk some sense into his ears. He can't be like Eli in the Bible,lest he dies a sorrowful and shameful death, and incurred the wrath of God upon his family and people.

As if he had thorns all over his bed, he woke up very early the next morning. He headed straight to Nyamekye's cottage. He wasn't around. He searched everywhere, but he was no where to be found.
Perhaps he might be around, so Nana waited patiently for his return.
The sun was high up in the sky and still,the prince was nowhere to be found. He couldn’t sit anymore.
He surmoned his kinsmen and ordered a search for the prince. He must be brought back!

Just as he was talking to his kinsmen, Oheneyere Asantewaa came in. She was surprised to see the chief with the kinsmen. The look on his face signalled danger. She went close to the chief and asked, "what is going on here? Is something missing from the palace?"
The chief told his wife that the crowned prince of Nyakrom was nowhere to be found.
"Agh! Me wura paa...so at my son's age, he can't travel or something? Anyway, he told me he was going in search of greener pasture yesterday", she exclaimed.

He did what? And his mother allowed him to go without informing his father?
Women! They can never change.
Nana looked fiercely into his wife's eyes. His jugular veins were clearly distended. It looked as if he wanted to hit his wife, but he managed to control himself. He got up from his seat and walked out. He couldn’t take it anymore. Things were getting worse.
