My ex-wife had gone to the salon to get her hair and nails done. She had gone with our older daughter who had just turned fifteen. In divorce, my ex is my best friend and we do understand each other much better than when we were married. MaaAbena is a gem. She refused to remarry or date anyone and carried on with me as though we are still married. MaaAbena is an IT and CyberSec guru.
At the salon, my daughter Dziedzorm aka Dzie, had overhead part of a conversation and it got her curious. She texted her mother who also began to listen intently. The conversation piqued her curiosity. She texted her daughter to remain indifferent. She began to record the conversation.
Between MaaAbena and me, we have three children. Dzie is the oldest, followed by Mawuli the boy who is thirteen and Mawuse the last girl who is eleven years. The children because of our professions were versatile in the use of handguns and IT equipment. They were only to utilize them in a last resort situation.
They were two other women in the salon besides my MaaAbena and Dzie. They happened to be sidechicks to two top influential people in government. One is the girlfriend to the Chief of Staff at the presidency and the other, the side chick to the brother of the Veep. They were talking about the pending elections and what was likely to take place considering the brouhaha over the EC’s decision to recompile a new voters register amid the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
The two women were Simone and Jezabel. Simone was actually the twin to Simon, a known die hard opposition activist. Simon would give his life for his party. He breathed and lived through his party. No one knew that and with the information she got from her boyfriend, the Veep’s brother, she passed it on to her brother. Her brother was mean with a constant scowl on his face. She did not look in any way like her brother but when it came to politics, though she would defend her party, she could stomach all the wahala to wit nonsense.
Jezabel is a bisexual and is having an affair with the Chief of Staff. It is a very discreet affair but, yes, few of us knew. For security reasons, I will not go into details.
These two had been in an outer room at an exclusive gathering and had overheard the ongoing conversation and strategies concerning the election.
Strategic heads would roll.
