Death after life
Cold Desert
Hot eyes
Sorrows of an Eagle
Calabash and
Shattered
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 SEASON II*
EPISODE 10
You are too big for any problem to cause chaos in ur life. You have God, remember?" Quaku went ahead to say. "Thank you so much. We appreciate all that you have done. We promise to go by it," one woman said. "You are welcome. Since you have accepted and believed that God is the only one worthy of your worship, I will take my leave. It's been four days since I left home. By now, my mother will be looking for me since she doesn't know of whereabout. I will be coming around from time to time"Quaku said.
"Okay my son. You will not leave alone. Some of my men will go with you. I will add some things to it. Please accept them.... We don't even know your name,"Odeneho said.
"Nana, my name is Quaku Adepa Nyamekye," he replied. "Quaku what? What is the name of your mother and where do you come from?
They were all surprised to hear his name.
"I'm Quaku Adepa Nyameche, son of Maame Abena Asantewa and Kwadwo Sintim. I come from Nkwahia" he replied.
"No no no, you mean you are the seed of who? Perhaps, I may be wrong. Is she till alive? I would love to go with you and meet her. I hope it's not a problem? ", odeneho asked.
"Ooow Nana, it's not a problem. We can leave now if you are ready," Quaku replied.
Odeneho and some men left with Quake Adepa to his village. It was a very tiresome journey.
They got to his village very tired. Quaku took them to his house. His grandmother ran to embrace him upon seeing him.
"Quaku, where have you been all this while? We have searched for you all over," his grandmother asked.
"Nana, take it easy. I came with some visitors. They came to see mum. Where is she? Has she left for the farm?" Quaku asked.
"My grandson, she's traveled to the next village. Let me welcome your people," the old woman said.
He asked them of their mission and they told her they were there to see Maame Abena Asantewa, but since she'd traveled, they would leave to return some other time.
"Return some other time? Tell me the problem my son." She said.
"Anyway, we are from Asabum. Your grandson here has helped us a lot, and as I asked for his mother's name, he mentioned a name that struck the core of my inner being. My wife had the same name. We had a son who also bore the name Quaku Adepa Nyameche. We had a problem in our village which required my son for sacrifice for the atonement of my sins. My wife ran away with our son, till today, I've not set eyes on any of them. I came with him to confirm if what I'm thinking is true."
"Hmmmm, what did you say your name is please?"the old woman asked the chief.
"I'm Odeneho Kwadwo Sintim".
This took Quaku Adepa by surprise.
"Odeneho, what you are saying may be true. The lady in question is not my child. She came here many years back and sought shelter. She told me the same story you just said. She came with a baby boy.
They lived with me here. Few days ago, her son, whom you came with, left the house without telling us. We searched for him everywhere, but couldn't find him. She thought her son was dead. She denied herself food and water. All she did was to cry. Hmmmm...Nana, if you had come yesterday, I'm sure you would have seen everything for yourself. I went in search of food. I came home to see her lifeless body", granny said with tears in her eyes.
