According to her, Uncle Ato was very well known and respected, and I was going to be accorded some level of respect just by associating with him. That was music to my ears. Also, I could watch movies using their very large TV, and the variety of movies was vast; I could get lost in them. This is the kind of life I could get used to living.
In two months, Nana had to leave for the village. I asked why she couldn’t stay, and she responded that she didn’t want to be a burden. I wrote a letter to my friends Afua and Serwaa letting them know about my new mansion, TV, and how affluent I was going to be. They didn’t have to worry about anything because, just like I was going to benefit from Uncle Ato, they were also going to enjoy because of my affluence. I also begged them to constantly check on Nana for me; she can be quite stubborn when it comes to asking for help, so their job was to impose their help on her, especially when she said no, and keep her busy with harmless mischief because even though she denies it, she likes being disturbed by us. Knowing my girls, these instructions were going to be followed to the letter.
