"Sorrows of an Eagle"
Episode 9

That didn't mean he should always be at the feet of his father.

Thoughts of the "Lost Prince" made Nana Aduhene Sekyi sick. He became so vulnerable and weak that he could do nothing. He became bedridden soon after the herbalist told him he'd gotten high blood pressure  (hypertension).
Talking became difficult for him. All he needed was his son.
He needed to see the child he prayed to God for. He wanted to see him alive and strong.

Now, it became a problem for Oheneyere too. She never thought the absence of his son could bring calamity to his household. She wished Nyamekye never undertook the journey.
When she woke up in the morning, Oheneyere would have to lay a mat in front of the house for Nana Aduhene Sekyi to sleep on. She brought him out with the help of the kinsmen.
Her movements were restricted now. She couldn't go anywhere. All she did was to sit by him and fan him all day. The elders were always present around him, trying to engage him in some conversation to make him feel loved.

For the people of Nyakrom, it was as if it was Christmas. They always presented food items to the palace and helped in putting the place in order.
One good turn deserved another.

Why do elders of the Akan land call God "Onyankopon Kwame?" Was there anything special with Saturdays? I'm pretty sure God answers prayers on Saturdays.

One Saturday afternoon, as the elders were talking with the chief, one of the young ladies of the community ran to the palace. It appeared she was being chased by an animal or something strange. Her breathe couldn't permit her to talk.
"...I...I...I", that was all she was saying.
"Lady, talk. We are all here and whatever the case is, we will help you out", one of the elders said.
She continued, " I...I went to, I went to (still panting), I went to..."
"...You went where?" Another elder cut in.
"I went to the farm to get some firewood for the palace. On my way, I saw someone who looked like our prince".
"Repeat yourself. Are you sure you saw the person well?" It was as if the chief didn't hear her well, he forcefully got up and asked.
"Nana, please I even saw the royal beads around his neck and ankle", she said.

Before Oheneyere could join in their conversation, the prince appeared.
His mother was right. He was all grown and looking like a real man. He looked more handsome now.

A village will forever remain a village. The news spread very fast. People trooped in to welcome him.
They offered him a seat but he rejected it, telling them to give it to another person (pointing at a light skin coloured beautiful lady). A stranger to sit on the royal chair?
Who at all was this lady? They all opened their mouth when Nyamekye told them to offer her a seat, lest they leave without returning.
Eeeeiii! As3m yi dika.
