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 8

He believed in the power of prayer because faith was his only anchor. He heard a noise as he was praying. Quaku didn't bother to open his eyes. He went ahead to pray to ask for healing grace for Nana Kwadwo Sintim.
The noise became louder. It was getting closer to him. He opened his eyes and saw the chief in the company of the guards. He could walk and stand without any aid. Quaku ran to embrace the chief and gave thanks to God. "Indeed, our God is a wonderful God!", he exclaimed. They didn't want to waste any more time.

 They asked that Quaku left with them to their village.
They left with much joy in their hearts. The chief couldn't but hold Quaku Adepa's hands. At some point,he wrapped his hand around his neck. He couldn't hide his joy. He wished there was something he could do to show his appreciation. He smiled as they journeyed  back home.
Halfway through the journey, they heard some great noise from afar. They couldn't tell where the noise was coming from. The people were jubilating. 

The chief, his guards and Quaku Adepa wondered from where the noise was coming. 
As they went ahead, they met some group of young people. The chief asked if they knew where the noise was coming from. One replied, "it's from the next village, my village I mean. One of our people who left to study in the city is back."
"Oow I see. That is good news then. Thank you very much," the chief said and left. They bypassed many villages including where the noise came from. They wished they had gotten home and shared the good news.
When they had almost reached home, they heard a loud rambling noise from their village. It seemed the people were jubilating over something. 

They tried to double their steps in order to get there on time.
They met some people from their village. They were the same people who wanted to kill the chief.
They couldn't hide their joy when they saw the chief walk without any assistance. They ran to embrace him and lifted him up. "Nana, there is good news! There is good news! Where is the young man who prayed for you? Where is he? He has brought smiles back to our faces", one of the men enquired. They recognized him even before any of the people with the chief could answer them. They lifted him up and put him on their shoulders. They were grateful. They carried him shoulder high till they got to their village where everybody was happily singing and dancing.
