Kobina gasped as he stared at her, and at her nudity, and finely toned body. But he wasn’t in any way tempted to take advantage of her. He quietly went to the bathroom to have his bath, then wore a pair of shorts and a singlet. He closed the door quietly behind him and went to the home of Fiifi, his bosom friend who lived at the Melcom end of Akoto Road.
“Haba, KF, you won’t allow a man to sleep small?” Fiifi complained when he opened the door to Kobina’s persistent knockings.
“Anyway, what are you doing here at this ungodly hour?”
“Anyway, what are you doing here at this ungodly hour?”
“Awww, Fiifi please let me perch with you small. Some girl is sleeping in my bed and I don’t want any trouble.”
“Hahaha would you have run away if it were Dzifa on your bed?”
“It’s her o. She came to the house when I was about to go to the Club and she is still there.”
“Hahaha would you have run away if it were Dzifa on your bed?”
“It’s her o. She came to the house when I was about to go to the Club and she is still there.”
“Dzifa Gold?” Fiifi said, his face showing his confusion, “I thought you love her.”
“Not anymore. Her treatment of me has made me lose interest in her,” Kobina explained to his friend.
“I see. Anyway, you are welcome. The bed is all yours. Good night,” he said and went to sleep on a student mattress that was lying on the floor.

Dzifa had heard Kobina enter the room but she had pretended to be asleep. She had even heard him refreshing himself in the bathroom and had deliberately turned to expose her major assets for his viewing pleasure. She couldn’t understand why he had disappeared from the room. She got up from the bed, searched through the room and the bath but she didn’t find him. She went back to bed, and feeling cold covered herself with a duvet and slept off.

Later that day
By 4:00 pm, the birthday party was in full swing. Food and drinks were flowing like nobody’s business. Since sister Mimi was a very popular person, the venue was crowded with some very important personalities who had come to celebrate with her. Even Baaba her friend, the Olympics record holder for gymnastics had to delay her trip to Doha for the Diamond League to be at the party.
It was really a great event and the guests really had a wonderful time.

“Thank you all for being here on my special day. You all have shown massive love to me.. I will like you all to join me in thanking the handsome and dynamic Kobina Ferguson for doing his part to make this birthday party a great success. Thank you Kobina,” Sister Mimi said in her closing remarks.
The crowd as if on cue, started chanting Kobina’s name.
“Kobina you are so good, Kobina you are nice, Kobina you are wonderful, Kobina you are excellent”
The party ended with another jama sang in his name.

The next day which was Sunday, Kobina went to the Club at about 11:00 a.m. to check on its readiness for the evening’s bash. He was confused when he saw that the main door was opened with no sign of Nkuto the cleaner. After searching for him in all the corners of the Club, he found him lying on the bare floor almost lifeless. He immediately chartered a taxi to send him to the nearby European Hospital where he was placed on intravenous infusion immediately.
He was kept at the hospital for 5 days as he was too dehydrated.
Â
It was on the following day when he regained consciousness that it became clear as to what was wrong with him. Apparently, he had sneaked some of the fried chicken Sis. Mimi had served at the party into a box in the Club and had eaten it the following morning without heating it, causing him diarrhoea.
“You are a very lucky man. Your Manager here has saved your life,” the Doctor said.
“Mr Ferguson, thank you,” Nkuto said plaintively.
“Don’t worry, just stop stealing from people who have their parties at the Club.”
“Yes sir, from today no more stealing,” he said weakly.
The Club bore the cost of his hospitalization when he was discharged.
