Sorrows Of An Eagle
Episode 3

"I now see sex as a game because nothing fruitful has yielded from it ", she said and slammed the door in the face of the chief.

6:00pm the following day, the people of Nyakrom gathered at the community center to break the fast and give thanks to God.
They sang songs of praise and danced to the glorification of God. They believed God had heard their plea, and so they would be answered in no time.
The chief with his elders were present though they were late. As for Oheneyere Asantewaa, she rather preferred to eat and sleep, than fast and give birth to a still baby.
Her mouth could neither be kept quiet nor idle as her husband prepared to leave for the occasion. She tried to stop him from going by asking him many annoying questions  "Wo Nyankop)n no, onnim s3 wo w) yere? Nti de3 onim a ne s3 y3bedi muada? Saa? Barima de3, s3 woyere y3 eduane na woendi a, 3y3 musuo k3se3. Me hia 3nkyer3ase3. (Doesn't your God know you have a wife? All He knows is for us to fast. Really? As a man, it's an abomination for you to reject food prepared by your wife. It needs to be explained).

What was the explanation for? She knew they were fasting to get something from God so why would she be the devil here?
He left with his elders to the community center. He tried not to let his wife's attitude bring him down.

It'd been two months and Oheneyere had not seen her menses. She became ill and weak and experienced the symptoms of pregnancy. She was happy. She just couldn't hide her joy.
She prepared her husband's best delicacy and served him. She looked soo sweet as she sat beside her husband as he enjoyed his meal.
"This food brings me memories of those days. Hope you remember them?", he enquired.
She noded her head with smiles as if there was something to be said.
"...well, let me remind you since you are suffering from amnesia. Those days we used to meet behind Agya Afari's house. It is something I can never forget", he continued to say.
She also smiled with love beaming all over her face.

"My love, do you have a cut on your thigh? There is blood flowing along your thighs", the chief said.
"What?''. She shouted with shock. Again? So you see why I keep saying I won't worship your God? He gives and takes away. How can I have a miscarriage just two months after missing my period without doing any straineous activity?", she said with sadness and anger as she rushed out.

Agh, does she mean she prepared the food for him so that she would break the news to him?
He left the food, washed his hands and followed her to the room.
"Woman, take it easy. I understand your plight, but let me assure you that the God I serve is a miracle working God. Relax,take your mind off it and He will do it. Why are you soo desperate?", he asked
Oheneyere Asantewaa kept quiet and continued to sob.
