Chapter 35

Obaa Yaa's father should not know about current developments.

We must still go on with the test.

Asabea admonished Obaa Yaa to keep her lips sealed.

Mr Asare perspired.

He had no handkerchief in his hands to wipe away all the sweat.

As the clock ticked, the tension between him and his only daughter grew more intense.

You can have this, father or whatever you call yourself.

Here! This will come in handy.

I only use my fingers to wipe away the sweat on my brow when weeding on the farm.

I can’t do so here.

It seems I might wet the floor or face ridicule.

It depends on which people you’re surrounded by.

You may wet the floor with your sweat if you do not wipe it.

And that may cause someone to fall.

It felt so strange for Obaa Yaa to be so friendly to him.

Was it because she was a child?

Children do not harbour any bitterness.

I would like to know why she is being so lovely.

Doesn’t she want to know where I’ve been all along?
