No one appears to know the exact source of *river* yet it runs through all walks of life as it meanders its way along the many struggles of nature.
How far, how long, how wide can it stretch to exhibit it's commanding prowess over the storms of the day. Or shall it succumb to the harsh efforts of mother nature to subdue and collect this great water in a *lake*.

*RIVER IN THE LAKE*
EPISODE 15
She continued to enjoy her sleep.
He finally decided to touch her, but she pretended she didn't feel it. Odeneho could not accommodate it anymore so he thought of waking her up. "My love, my love, dear, please wake up. I know you are angry and sad as well, but please wake up", Nana said. He did everything he could to wake his wife up. She slept on the bed and watched her husband as he sat at the edge of the bed. For a moment, he couldn't say a word. "You woke me up please", his wife said. "3h3 yes, I did. I want us to talk about something very important. Something I did, but know you are against. I had to do it. I didn't just wake up from my slumber and decided to commit murder. You know Asare has been a friend so what would make me do such thing to him? He wasn't honest. He wasn't plain with his issues", Nana said.
"What do you mean by he wasn't honest? So you had to kill him because of honesty? Thought you went in search of a solution to our problems or? Then you return and decide to kill your own friend. My lord! Hmmm...so how do you feel? Will that solve our problems?" Nana's wife cut in. "Woman, you dare not question my integrity. I'm the man here. I woke you up to talk to you and not for you to question the decision of the gods. If you have anything against that, get into the evil forest and talk to them. I did what I had to do. He was the one behind all the calamity. He is cursed.
He thought he could run and leave behind his shadow, but it followed him here and that's how come we were suffering. Besides, it was the decision of our people to have him put to death. This's their land so they had every right to contribute to decision making", Nana said.
"Did you say he is cursed? No wonder he couldn't say a word when I tried questioning him. Why then did he come here? Ooo Asare. Man is wicked. He put up an innocent face just to wipe away the entire community", Nana's wife said. "May the gods forbid that! You now understand why I did that. Don't be angry with me okay. You know you are my passion and world. I've been missing you throughout the night", Nana said and put his hand on his wife's thigh. They both giggled and slept.
