MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
IS MONEY LIFE?
With Amie Sillah
Part 1
Lang and Chaneh are from provinces. They were bred and schooled there. Theybecame childhood lovers. Lang is an orphan brought up by his paternal grandmother. He schooled up to Secondary Technical level. Then he learned many trades - carpentry, masonry, farming and plumbing. He is witty and entrepreneuring. He mortgaged his father’s land to help sponsor Chaneh’s education, her dad’s hospital bill, etc.
Chaneh grew up to be beautiful damsel.
She was already betrothed to Lang who has invested a huge sum of money on her head. Will she marry him? Read on to find out.
Chaneh and Lang Chaneh have grown into a beautiful sophisticated damsel. After she completed her Grade 9 she started to play games with Lang, her village champion. She now looked down on him. She compared him with the city guys. Her parents encouraged her to flirt with civil servants posted to her village. Essa was heading a project whose headquarters was based at Chaneh’s village.
Essa has interest in Chaneh. He asked for her hand in marriage.
Chaneh agreed, backed by her parents.
The Marriage Ousman, Lang’s friend broke the news of the marriage to him. “Did you not hear?”
Ousman asked Lang. “Hear what?” “That Essa is marrying your girlfriend today?”
“It’s a lie. Chaneh cannot do that to me.” Lang swore. “She has done it. Do you disbelieve me? I’ll take you to her place to witness the ceremony. We an take a shade to cover our presence.” Lang agreed. He saw the shock of his life. There was Chaneh, a centre of attention being showered head to foot with raw cash in D100 and D50 notes. She was all smiles, Essa dominating her presence all the time. The griots were singing praises to the bride and groom, tracing back to
their great ancestry in history.
Lang could not believe his eyes. “Chaneh is wicked! She should have informed me.
After all, marriage should be based on consent.” He shed emotional tears. Ousman cheered him up. “It is painful, especially when you have spent everything you had on her. Take heart! Allah knows everything.”
Recollection of Secondary School Days Lang recollected his secondary days with Chaneh - how they used to play hide and seek in the bush; how everybody referred to them as husband and wife. They loved themselves and they amused villagers by their teenage romance. Their parents betrothed them to each other with full consent from them.
Chaneh’s Dad
Chaneh’s dad, Pa Basiru visited Lang’s home. He found him repairing his rider.
Pa Basiru brought a box load of clothes and a jewelry box and handed them over to Lang. “What for?” Lang asked. “These are the things you gave my daughter, Chaneh. She is married to Essa now and does not need your things. You can sell them or better still find another village girl to marry.” Lang shook his head and addressed Pa Basiru. “Pa! I am very disappointed in you. How can you be that callous? Are you mocking at me? Did you ask for the things I gave to Chaneh? Or are you suffering from guilty conscience? Why didn’t you return the hospital bill I paid for your operation in Dakar; your daughter’s education bill and the fish money I have been giving you? You are heartless but Allah is watching you.”
“My daughter is right. She went for greener pastures. I never prayed for my daughter to stay in this Allah forsaken village. You are a village champion, Lang of many trades. You can find another village queen. Certainly not my Chaneh! She will pay you back everything you spent on us. Essa is a patron. He will find her a job and she will pay you every butut spent on our family.” Pa Basiru left Lang repairing his Honda bike.
Lang is Disappointed Lang is disappointed in life. He cursed his being. “Look at me! Born with bad luck. I lost my mum as she gave birth to me. My dad died as soon as I was born.
My granny brought me up. Now she too is gone. I am alone in this wide world. My relatives do not care about me. I made it on my own. I have spent everything on Chaneh. Look at it! She too has betrayed me. What have I done? Where have I gone wrong?” he wailed.
Ellen, The Village Seamstress
Ellen is the village seamstress, very industrious. She schooled up to secondary four. Then she learned tailoring. She sewed for both sexes, adult and children.
She is single. Lang keeps his money with her. She is very straight forward and honest. Sometimes she lends money to Lang when he is in difficulty. Chaneh is Ellen’s bosom friend. Their friendship started since primary school days. Lang still loves Chaneh. She could not easily get out of his mind despite the betrayal and being someone’s wife It is ludicrous and funny. Lang visited Ellen to get Chaneh’s address in the city.
Ellen Advises Lang
“I have Chaneh’s city address but why should I give it to you? It is dangerous.
Chaneh is now someone’s wife. You can cause commotion in her marriage life or be in collision with her husband. Don’t visit Chaneh.” Lang lied. “Chaneh is having some of my important documents. I went to her parents. They searched but could not see them. They refused to give me her address for reasons better known to them. I decided to come to you as her friend.” Ellen thought hard and said.
“Okay! I’ll help you. I’ll give you Chaneh’s address but be very careful.” Lang laughed and said, “You know me by now! I am always very careful.”
Lang’s Business
Lang decided to go into second hand clothing business. He took part of his family land and sold it. The business thrived. Lang decided to visit Chaneh in the city. Ousman advised him not to go. He braved the storm and went to the city.
“I have to see Chaneh face to face. I still could not believe this! Where are all the promises, trust, and love? This is unbelievable! Seeing her eye to eye will determine whether charm is involved,” Lang argued.
At Chaneh’s Home
Lang came to Chaneh’s home in the city. He met the gateman and gave him a false name. The gateman announced to Chaneh that her father wanted to see her. “Ask him in.” Chaneh was eager to see her father.
Lang is Ushered In The gateman ushered Lang in. “What! What are you doing here Lang? You want to put me into trouble? What do you want from me? Didn’t you see I am married?”
Chaneh bombarded him with questions.
Lang is still dreaming to have Chaneh.
“Chaneh my love! Why have you betrayed me? Where is everything we shared? Are you charmed? I was very disappointed but I am ready to have you back. You have to leave your husband’s house. Come back to me I love you with all my heart. You forgot our oath. Come back to me my love.”
Chaneh laughed at Lang’s face. “What stupid love! Poverty love! Chaneh is moving forward and you are asking me to move backward! It can’t be! I cannot exchange affluence and prestige with poverty and want. If you want to be near me let me employ you as my watchman.”
Lang got up. “You have insulted me to my soul. Enough of it! I am leaving!”
“Take the fare and retain the change for your troubles.”
“Thanks! I have brought my own fares.”
Lang left. “I don’t hate you. You are a good man. I used to love you very much but now I am married and devoted to my husband,” Chaneh said.
Night Driving
Lang refused to stay in the city. Chaneh wanted him to sleep with the gateman until in the morning but he refused. “I can take care of myself. I am returning this night.” The driver over speeded and there was an accident. There was no death but a lot of injuries. Lang was hospitalised.
Ellen and Ousman Pay A Visit
Ellen and Ousman visited him at the hospital. He narrated his experience at Chaneh’s house and the accident. “It’s okay! Don’t be hard on yourself. Take it easy. All will be well,” the duo said. Ellen went home to cook him a high pepper soup with coos while Ousman waited for him. His two friends showed great care
and love. They praised Allah for sparing Lang’s life.

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
IS MONEY LIFE?
With Amie Sillah
Part 2
Ellen Visits Chaneh
Ellen visited Chaneh in the city. She protested against how Chaneh treated Lang. "Girl! You are wicked!" "How?" Chaneh challenged her. "You betrayed and mocked at Lang. Chaneh! Lang gave you his life. Lang is a promising young man, entrepreneuring! He could be anything tomorrow.
Nothing is static. Lang has his skills. What he needs only is capital. But above all her loves and adores you. You know Lang since childhood. You were consently betrothed to each other. Why the change now? You do not know Essa. He is a total stranger. You married him for prestige and money. That does not last but true love does." Ellen told her friend. Chaneh laughed at her face. "Girlfriend! Are you not happy for me? I have married the man of my dreams. Essa has cash and prestige. That's what I need now not Lang's stupid poverty love. Rejoice with me girlfriend don't discourage me! Enough of your sanctimonious attitude! Can I choose between Honda Bike and Limousine?" Chaneh mocked at Ellen. "Lang came to ask me to quit affluence and marry to poverty. Let him go and marry a village girl not Chaneh. Ellen told her about Lang's accident. "Oh he died! Am sorry! Allah be praised! I would have been a widow. "Who told you Lang died? I said he was involved in an accident. He is badly injured. When he left your place at night his transport was involved in an accident. "Chaneh was disappointed. "Lang is stubborn. I asked him to spend the night but he refused". "Spend the night where? In your husband house!" Ellen questioned. "No! Not in my husband's house but with the gateman until in the morning but he flatly refused." "Whatever! But remember that you have betrayed the love of a genuine friend and Allah is watching". Helen cautioned.
Lang Is Discharged
Lang was discharged. He returned to his home. Being a bachelor he was doing laundry with one hand. The other hand was in a sling. He was in great pains.
Ellen Pays A Visit
Ellen is a concerned friend and neighbour. She came to visit Lang and found his condition. She protested. "This is undone. I am a friend and a neighbour. You should ask me to help. What are neighbour's for if not to help each other in need". "I don't want to bother you that's all". Lang told her. "This is no bothering. We should be our sister's and brother's keeper". Ellen took the laundry and did it for Lang. He was very grateful. "What do you want for lunch? You can give me the fish money. I'll cook for you". "You can cook your tasty pepper soup with 'chereh' (coos)". "Fish or meat?" "Use fish 'Yaboye Moroc'. Lang told Ellen. Ellen went to the market and cooked Lang a delicious fish pepper soup with 'Chereh' (coos).
Lang Asks About Chaneh
"I understand you visited Chaneh. What did she say?" Ellen was disappointed with Lang. "You still ask about Chaneh? She has forgotten you. She is now happily married. Forget about her. If not you can land yourself into trouble. That's my honest advise to you". Lang prayed for Ellen. "You are a beautiful woman with a kind heart. I prayed that Allah give you a good spirited husband who will treat you like an egg". "Amen!" Ellen laughed over it.
At The Health Centre
Lang accompanied by Ousman went to the Health Centre to dress his wounds. They met nurse Fatima, a kind spirited nurse. She attended to them very nicely. Ousman got interested in Fatima. They exchanged cell numbers and promised to see each other again. Lang teased his friend. "How are you eying her like that? Do you know her marital status?" "She is single and available". "How do you know?" Lang challenged. "I've already been informed by her very self". "You are swift and smart". "Trust me. I go or what I want. I don't bit about the bush like some guys". "Which guys?" Lang was defensive. "Those guys know themselves. Who the cap fits!" Ousman teased Lang.
Lang Reflects
Lang reflected on Ellen. "I like Ellen. She nursed me like a baby. No complaints, always cheerful. I am developing strong feelings for her". Lang confided in Ousman. "Did you let Ellen know?" "No! Not yet!" "Why?" "Because Ellen would say I went to her because Chaneh jilted me. Can you help me tell her I have fallen for her". Lang begged Ousman. "Okay! I'll tell her but you should also tell nurse Fatima that I love her. "Sure! Tit for Tat!" Lang teased. "There are no free meals".
Ousman Tells Ellen
Ousman visited Ellen's tailoring shop and told her about Lang's feelings. Ellen rejected outright. "Nonsense! I like Lang but I don't love him. Moreover Lang wants to use me as a second fiddle because Chaneh dropped him. What about if Chaneh changes her mind; where does that leaves us? I don't want disappointment. Allah's time is the best. Let leave sleeping dog lay. Chaneh is my friend. I don't want her to think that I have betrayed her. Lang was her betrothed. I have spoken a lot to get them back again. If I befriend Lang, Chaneh would say this was my plan. And all my efforts would be seen as hypocritical". Tell Lang I would be shy if I am near him. I don't want to get married now". Ousman was still hopeful. "Okay! It is sudden! Think over it. Lang loves you. If you reciprocate it will be superb. Chaneh is a past chapter and should have nothing to do with your decision". Ousman reassured Ellen.
Chaneh And Essa
The honey moon is over. Friction started. They are two strangers. They did not court long enough to know each other. It started with petty quarrels, excessive demands, suspicion and lack of trust. They started accusing each other of one thing or another. Essa found his CEO's complimentary card in Chaneh's bag. He confronted her. "What is my boss's card doing in your bag?" Chaneh lied. "Oh! He gave it to me at our reception party. Why? How did you get it? Where you searching my bag?" Chaneh became furious. "I'll not answer your question. I am warning you. Keep away from my office colleagues. Infact everyone from that office". Chaneh was frustrated. "My ex-boy friend treated me with love and respect. He trusted me. He is not a salaried worker but he is struggling and is living with dignity". "I don't care. My word is final". He snatched Chaneh's phone from her. He reminded Chaneh of her past. "I got from the village gutters and cleaned your filth. You cannot bluff me. I know your games. Watch your back". Essa left in the rage. Chaneh sulked.
Playing Games
Chaneh is now into full time prostitution. Her marriage to Essa is a front, cover up. She became very unfaithful to her husband. Alhajj Basir will pick her up and go to hideout places with her. He lashed money over her. He enjoyed the hide and seek game with Chaneh. Chaneh's face was swollen. Alhajj showed concerned. "What happened to my angel? Your face is swollen!" Chaneh reported her husband. "Essa hit me". "Hit you! Why?" "He suspected us". "So what! What do you want me to do?" I don't know". "I'll terminate his services with my company". Alhajj threatened. Chaneh protested. "No! Don't terminate my husband's services. Just threatened him not to hit me again".
Lang Visits Ellen
"if Moses would not come to the mountain the mountain comes to him. I have come for my answer. Look into my eyes and tell me you don't love me and then I'll never bother you again". Ellen hesitated. "What would people say? That I exchange with my friend". Why do you choose me?" "People would say anything. It is their business. I did not leave Chaneh. She is the one how betrayed my love. Should I stay single and mourn over it for the rest of my life? No Ellen! No! my life have to go on! I was blinded y the shine of Chaneh's skin but now I am awoken! All that glitters is not gold". "Well! Give me more time Lang. I'll think about it". "But for how long? Am I going to wait for eternity?" "Wait as long as necessary. I don't want to rush into a matter I'll regret in a life time". Ellen cautioned.
Ellen Responds
Ellen responded positively. She could not face Lang to tell him. She was shy. She wrote her response in a letter. She came up to Lang's gate, gave it to a boy to give to him then ran away. Lang read the letter. He became elated and ran after Ellen. He caught up with her. They embraced each other and thank Allah for the reunion. Their love became sealed.
The Friends Visited Uncle Victor
Uncle Victor is Ellen's maternal uncle. He is a retired diplomat. He has accumulated wealth. He have assets in Europe, U.S and Some African capitals. He is a widower and also a philanthropist. He develop a trust fund to sponsor education, pay hospital bills, helps in micro-credit funds for women's groups. He is generous and pleasant. He is blessed with two daughters and two sons. They are now married and are all graduates of different disciplines. He is Ellen's godfather. He sponsored her education and helped her set up her tailoring shop and helped her with her initial capital. Ellen's father died. Her mother relocated to the neighbouring state and remarried there. She is blessed with other children in the second marriage. Uncle Victor welcomed his niece with open arms. Ellen introduced her fiancé. "This is Lang, my fiancé. I love and want to marry him". Uncle Victor greeted Lang with warmth. He asked him a simple question. "Do you love Ellen as she loves you". Lang stooped down to show respect to his uncle in law. "Uncle! I love Ellen with all my heart". "Get up! That's all I want to hear. Marriage should be based on consent. I blessed your reunion". He prayed for them.
Uncle Victor Gives A Present
Uncle Victor drew a cheques of D500, 000 dalasis and gave it to Lang. He could not believe his eyes. He showed it to Helen. "What! Oh Uncle! Is it true? D500, 000! That's half a million dalasi for us! Unbelievable!" The friends stooped down before Uncle Victor and paid homage to him. "Stand up! It is only God you pay homage to. I have done what I should do. I have wealth. I should use it to help humankind. My kith and kin are among the beneficiaries. This is my wedding gift for you. Invest it wisely. If you do it will yield many millions for you". He turned to Lang and asked. "What do you do for a living?" Lang answered. "Uncle I do many things. Petty trading, masonry, carpentry, you name it. Any decent trade to work for money". "Now! Go back home. Discuss with your fiancée. Her tailoring shop is prospering. You can put some investment there. Check about yourself. Map out what you want to do and where you want to invest part of your money. I understand Honda business work in the villages where most of the roads are unmotorable. Think wisely and invest well. I don't want my niece to cry or come complaining. I have trust in you just as she also have in you. God bless you and your union". "Thank you Uncle! Thank you1 what else should we say other than thank you! This is what we need. Those who have to help others who have not in these difficult trying times. We will invest wisely as you have advised. God bless you". "Amen!" They all chorused. "You have a heart of gold". Lang emphasized.
To be cont.

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
IS MONEY LIFE?
With Amie Sillah
Part 3
Fights; insults, intrigues characterized Chaneh and Essa's home. They are total strangers. Chaneh go for cash and is ready to have it by any means. Essa's love for her have weaned out. The couples drifted and became estranged to each other.
Essa Confronts His Boss
Essa was overwhelmed by grief. He did his utmost but Chaneh remained unsatisfied. She eyed big porsh cars, wealth, money and prestige. There are other men in the city who surpassed Essa. She started to look down at her husband. She wanted to dress like the rich ladies. This made her involved in extensive prostitution. To be free she decided to engage into inter country trade. This gave her the liason to engage in open prostitution. She extended her trade to Asia, Europe and America. Alhajj provided the initial cash. In one of her trips she forgot her bag. Essa went through it and found out that Chaneh travelled with Alhajj to Singapore. When they came back Chaneh decided to reside in a hotel. Alhajj came to work. Essa confronted him. They fought. This made Essa lost his job and subsequently charged with assault.
Alhajj Is Ashamed
The scandal spread in town. Alhajj's family summoned him. They protested at the shame and scandal he brought to them. The first wife Aja Marie told him off. "What do you want? Allah blessed you with twenty children of both sexes. Your elder children are graduates with wives, husbands and children. You have seen your grand children, some about to get married. With four wives, still you go after women. You should be ashamed of yourself." The other wives concurred. Today they are in agreement to safeguard their common interest. That is to make Alhajj responsible to his family and society. He is bad example for the young generation to follow. Alhajj promised to change his lifestyle. He was ashamed of himself.
Chaneh Is Stranded
Chaneh got stranded in a hotel in the neighbouring state. She tried to contact Alhajj to bail her out but he decided to switch off his mobils. Chaneh was forced to sell her jewelry to come out of the 'deep ****' as the Americas would say.
Essa Turns A New Leaf
Essa took Chaneh to her parents. And handed her over to them with all her belongings. "I marry a whore. She cannot cook or housekeep. She sleeps with every guy in trousers. She is a high risk for me. AID is real. I love my life. I hate wife battering but in guilt she forces me to fight. In self defense, I have to fight her. She has turned me into an animal. Let her be free to follow her big 'shots' in trousers. Excuse me!" Ya Bintou, Chaneh's mother started to insult Essa. "Good for nothing rascal! How dare you accuse my daughter of prostitution? Where is your proof?" Pa Basirou concurred. "Where is your proof?" "My proof is my job loss when I confronted Alhajj in his office. Our fight which led to my being fired and subsequently charge with Assault. All thanks to your daughter, Chaneh! I didn't blame her. I should have known better. After all what sort of parents brought her up! Like daughter like parents. Take everything given to her. I don't want anything to remind me of Chaneh. Good riddance to bad rubbish!" Ya Bintou rushed to hit Essa. Pa Basirou held her. "Leave him to go. It's alright." Essa ran out of the compound. "It is not alright! My enemies will mock me! My distractors will gossip about me! What about Lang? The genuine suitor Chaneh betrayed! Its retribution time! Allah is watching." Ya Bintou wailed. Chaneh remained mute. The events have overwhelmed her.
Lang Turns A New Leaf
Lang brought a utility car. He drove to visit Ousman. Ousman was surprised. He did not notice him at first. "Oh! Wonders shall never end! Lang! Whose car is this?" Ousman enquired. Lang smiled. "It's ours, myself and Helen. This is Helen's blessing and good luck. Uncle Victor gave us a cheque of what?" "Half a million dalasis!" "It's a lie! Its impossible!" Ousman exclaimed. "Uncle Victor have raised our status for life. We are now a car owner. You are a family. Feel free to utilize it whenever you are in need. We have also bought a 'gele gele' (passenger van) to be plying the villages. Also a dozen of honda bikes and bicycles for rent. This will help the villages with transportation." "Allah be praise! Allah be praise! Uncle Victor have done it again for humanity. Teach me how to fish not giving me daily fish." Ousman remarked.
Helen Is Pregnant
The couples got married and now lived happily together. Helen is pregnant. Lang proved to be a perfect husband. He dotted on Helen. Helped her eat a balanced diet, do regular exercises and strolled with her in the evening. Lang helped Helen in the household chores. This was greatly appreciated by Helen and it lifted a heavy burden from her shoulders. The other village couples were amused. They were referred to as the 'European couples.' Some men saw Lang as being foolish. Some women envy Helen and see as a woman who disrespects her husband. "How can Helen, a married woman who should seek blessing from her husband make Lang do all the household chores?" The village women debated at the village well. Some supported Helen, others opposed her because of ignorance and backwardness. Helen is scared. She feared for their relationship. "Lang! Don't profess your love and care for me before the evildoers hear about it!" "Don't mind them! Allah is with us. We have done nothing wrong by devoting to each other." Lang reassured his darling wife.
Chaneh Swallows A Bitter Bill
Chaneh refused to belief that she is ditched by Alhajj. She went to the city and she visited Alhajj's office. He refused to see her. She went to their hide out and found Alhajj in the company of two fresh succulent chicks. Chaneh confronted him. "You evil man! The son of a dog! You sucked me dry and made my good husband divorce me! Now you want to ditch me? No way! Over my dead body would I allow that!" Alhajj became callous. "You are an old hag! Look at these succulent eaglets you are now an expired stuff! Get out of my sight for good!" Chaneh was disgraced, insulted and humiliated. She cried her heart out. She regretted her action. "I was foolish! How could I have been blinded to play with my marriage! I am doomed." She cried and indulged in self pity.Alhajj asked the hotel guards to throw Chaneh out. She was dragged out in disgrace.
Chaneh Returns To her Village
Chaneh returned to her village. Ya Bintou confronted her. "Shame be unto you. How can you make me a laughing stock in the midst of my enemies? A rich city guy came to marry you I became the envy of my distractors. I thought you'll take the advantage and turn it into an opportunity for us. You see our condition. Your dad is retired from government service. Pensioners receive pittance. We live from hand to mouth. If not for Lang our lives would have been more miserable. Lang sacrificed for our family to know happiness. You betrayed Lang and married Essa. Where is the rich Essa? What have you to show of that marriage? Where is your fat bank account? The duplet he built for you in our home? Instead, he dragged you as a goat and returned you back as an unwanted property. He accused you of being a whore. What have you gained from prostitution? Shame on you! I regretted giving birth to you shameful beast!" Chaneh talked back to her mum. "You and dad forced me to marry Essa. He bribed you with his project fund. You threatened to curse me if I don't marry Essa. You look down on Lang. You are the cause of my unhappiness. I was young, inexperience and frivolous I married Essa for fun. There was no love for him. I married him due to opportunism. We were strangers and we were incompatible. Thanks to your greediness mum and dad!" Chaneh decided to go out for a stroll to avoid her mum's confrontation for the time being.

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
IS MONEY LIFE?
Part 4
With Amie Sillah
Happy Family
Lang is a family man. He devoted his life to his family. Hellen lacked nothing. Hellen is heavy. Lang did the household chores to the amusement of the villagers. There was mixed feelings. Some villagers saw Lang as a hero and others saw him as a weakling. "How can he wash plates, cook and sweep for his wife. That is a woman's job". Men and women argued. Some women protested. "Don't allow your husband do household chores. It will place a curse on your children. Get a female relative on either side to come and help." They advised. Hellen was confused. She enjoyed the privilege but was not ready for the blame. She felt villagers saw her as a bad wife. Lang gave her courage. "Don't mind them. Some are jealous others are ignorant. "No so den tan dey kin talk!" What is important is we love ourselves and we will survive. Allah have bless our marriage. Our offsprings will equally be blessed because we will conceive them in true love and happiness". Hellen was relaxed. "Words of wisdom my love! You are my strength". Hellen gave her husband a passionate lip kiss. Hellen managed to cook a nice soup. She is a good cook. An idea came into her head; they ate their delicious groundnut soup with Findi (prepared grain). They chatted. "Darling! We can establish a modern restaurant with modern kitchen facilities. I can also relocate my tailoring shop attached to it. The village is big and a catchment area. Good, delicious clean food will sell like hot cakes. We can establish a timetable each day with peoples' delicious. What about that?" Lang thought hard and said yes! That's great! Marvellous! Go head! You have all my support. I trust your business acumen".
"How would we call the restaurant?" Hellen asked. "Hellang kitchen!" Lang excitedly announced. "Accepted!" Hellen replied. "Construction commences immediately". Lang instructed. They withdrew money form the bank and built a modern restaurant with all modern facilities. Civil servants and expatriates patronized the facilities. The business strived. Gambian youths were employed. Lang told Hellen about Cheneh. "I understand she was in the village". "Doing what in the village? Where is her husband?" Hellen asked with innocence. "I learnt she is divorced". "Divorced? Why? What happened?" Hellen asked with concern. "I wouldn't know". "Be careful! Chaneh is trouble. Promise me! Don't have anything to do with her. Chaneh is trouble and evil". Hellen cautioned. "Me! What will I do with Chaneh? A rust iron, when I have my gold and diamond Hellen! I love you darling especially that you are going to make me a proud father. Your love is sweet, gentle and predictable. Unlike Chaneh whose love was sour, rough and unpredictable. I was carried away by lust, attracted to her physical features ignoring her evil personal traits". "Its okay! Let us talk about us, our baby, our lives' Chaneh is in the past tense". "Sure!" Lang chorused.
Chaneh And Hellen
Chaneh visited Hellen Tailoring shop next to their restaurant Hellang's kitchen. She came to torment and tease her. "Hellen!" She called her three times. "Is this you? Snake under a green grass! You pretended to mend our relationship when you were working for yourself. Frustrated spinster! You never have love until Lang's came along. Leave my man! Lang is my man! He married you out of pity! He will marry me as a second wife! You bought him through your rich uncle but all will be vain. Monkey deh work Baboon dey eat! Lang is mine! I'll get him back' Ishallah!"
Hellen is not a 'panka' (hot-tongued).She was embarrassed because of her cloth. She hissed. "I'll not talk to you. You are a loser. You betrayed Lang and Allah showed him true love. You are cursed! Shameless slut! You are unfaithful to your husband. He sent you packing. You should be ashamed of yourself! I don't have your time. You have lost Lang forever. He will never take you back. "Hellen asserted herself. "We shall see! Lang is weak to my body. He cannot resist my sensuous body. We are physically attracted to each other. You are too cold to arouse Lang's sensitivity. I'll be back, watch your back!" Chaneh went away in a rage. Hellen became ashamed of the trainee. "Don't mind her madam. Such women are trouble". The trainee tried to console Hellen.
Hellen Confronts Lang
She came home very moody. Lang became confused. Hellen started to shed emotional tears. She confronted Lang and questioned him. "Are you seeing Chaneh?" Lang started. "Which Chaneh?" "Your Ex!" "Allah forbid! Why? After what Chaneh did to me? What gave you such a ridiculous idea? Even my dead body will reject Chaneh!" He reassured his wife. "Why did you say such a thing? Lang asked". "Chaneh came to my shop and blashed me to nonsense. She rubbished me and talk with confidence that she will get you back, that you cannot resist her heat. Are you hiding anything from me? If you betray me and go back to Chaneh I'll kill myself together with my pregnancy". Hellen threatened. "Allah forbid! Don't ever swear! Chaneh is bluffing. The devil is shamed! Allah made His judgment on earth between us! What she thought and what have happened is between night and day. I warned her. Nothing is static! That no position is permanent. Chaneh fell into her own folly. Ignore her and stay positive. I am here for you forever". He kissed and reassured Hellen. She became greatly relieved. "Always be strong my love! Always be strong for us and the baby. Hellen nodded her head and smiled.
Chaneh's Tricks
Chaneh knew how to get Lang. She studied and lured him along the bush path into the village. There were many spots were they used to play and do romance during their school days. She stopped his car. Lang threatened to move and crush her. He could not. He scolded Chaneh. "You witch! What do you want from me? I am married to Hellen, my gold with diamond! I don't need you now. You betrayed me at my time of need. Leave me alone! I don't want to hurt my angel. She is carrying our baby. Leave me Jezebel! Leave me alone! What do you want from me?" Chaneh gave Lang a hot lip kiss. He was overwhelmed and weakened. He succumbed. "Look at me in the eyes and say you don't love me then I'll go away and never disturb you again". Lang became weak and mute. Chaneh continued. "Your body is hurt! You cannot resist me! I am the only woman who can arouse your sensuality Hellen is too cold for you". Lang struggled out of Chaneh's grip. "Leave Hellen out of this! Never mention my wife's name again. Hellen is my wife! Never mention her again when dealing with me". "Whatever! Meet me at the same place tomorrow! Bother you again!" She again gave Lang a hot lip kiss confusing him all the more.

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
IS MONEY LIFE?
With Amie Sillah
Part 5
Hellen Is Confused And Worried
Lang is late to come home. Hellen is worried. These days bandits are abound. A lot of violence goes around the area. "What is holding Lang back? I am worried. He did not call. I tried to reach him but to no avail". Hellen worried herself to death. The car's horns were heard. Hellen sat upright. "Thank God! He has come". Lang entered, guilty and confused. Hellen asked. "What happened? I was dead worried. You did not call. I tried your call phone but to no avail". He lied. "I went to the city. Bad roads". I rushed before nightfall. I tried to phone but poor network. Here I am darling! Sorry for the inconvenience". He kissed Hellen's forehead. "Dinner is ready! It's your delicacy! Bon appetite!" "Let me take a hot shower first!" "Your hot water awaits you". Put in Hellen. "Thanks!" Lang took shower then quickly ate his supper. He retired to the sitting room. He sat and pondered over Chaneh. She is still beautiful and attractive. Lang longed for her sensuous body. His body and mind were in constant struggle. "It is wrong! I cannot betray Hellen's love and trust. She stood for me at my time of need. She is a precious jewel. I love my wife. I should not depress her at her condition. She is heavy with the fruit of our love". This was Lang's sensible voice. The other voice was leading him astray. "You are a man! Have fun! Chaneh is sensuous! Be discreet about it!" These two voices were struggling inside Lang. He was worried and confused. Hellen was observant. She knew something was eating Lang from the inside. What was it? She has to ask. She came close to him but Lang was deeply absorbed. She holds him. Lang startled. "What is eating you up my love? Since you came you are not yourself. You are worried. Can I help?" Lang caught up with himself. "It's okay! I am alright! It's the workload! The Honda business, used clothes and the other petty trades. I am okay! I'll be fine. Thanks for your concern". Hellen announced that she was going to bed. "You can join me later my love but just take it easy on yourself. You cannot finish the world". " Thanks again for your concern. I'll join you in bed. Love you!" Lang threw kisses to Hellen. He pounded for a long time. He later decided to take the adventure. Chaneh is irresistible but I have to be discreet about it. Hellen must never know. I am a man. I can handle it". Lang got resolved over his escapade with Chaneh. He was overcome by lust.
At The Rendez Vous
Chaneh waited for a long time. It was a Saturday. Lang had to justify his going out. He had to concort a story. Chaneh became discourage. She thought Lang would not honour their date. Lang came with a story. "My City Partner Alhagie Abdoulie rang. Our second hand clothing consignment had arrived. I had to go darling. Sorry! This is my rest day but I believe in business before leisure". He kissed Hellen on the lips. "Take care! Driver safely!" "Thanks!" Lang rushed to the bush. Chaneh was deeply relieved when she saw the car. Lang stopped and asked her to hop in. Chaneh wanted them to have a quick one there and then but Lang refused. "I can't we can be caught here. What would I tell Hellen?. We have to be discreet". Chaneh hopped in and Lang drove away. He started to make excuses for himself. "I love Hellen. She is a great woman but you are my satan. I cannot hurt Hellen. She is carrying my child. We have to be discreet about the relationship until she delivers at least". Chaneh gave him one in the car. She stressed her point. "You belong to me. Hellen is an outsider. My parents deceived me to marry Essa. You are the one I love". "Spare me the sermon. You betrayed me at my time of need. I fall for you because of trust not love. My flesh is weak to your body but I'll not allow you hurt Hellen".
At The Town Lodge
They rented a room at the town lodge and spent the weekend there. They enjoyed themselves to the utmost. Chaneh wanted Lang to stay longer. "No I can't! Hellen will be dead worried. I have to lie to come here. I have to go. Her condition does not favour anxiety". Chaneh exploded. "Nonsense! Everything Hellen! Hellen! Hellen I give you heat not Hellen! One of these days I have to let hell loose by exposing everything!" Chaneh threatened. "It you do, that will be the end of our relationship. If my wife dies in the process you are also a dead woman! Am I understood?" Lang also threatened. Lang gave Chaneh a lot of money and left. "When are we to see again?" Chaneh asked. "I'll call you. We will work it out". Lang drove away in a hurry.
Lang Is Guilty
He came late. Again Hellen was very worried. She asked him about the trip. He lied. "It was fine. The consignment arrived and we disembarked everything without a hitch". "You must be dead tired. Your food and bath is ready darling". Hellen announced. "You are a darling! I've appreciated everything you have done". He kissed Hellen. "I'll later join you in bed. Thanks for everything!" "You are welcomed". Hellen went to bed.
A Date
Hellen's antenatal appointment is due. She was to carry Lang along. Through this practice if she forgets anything Lang will note it down. Moreover gender activists are encouraging spouses to accompany their wives to clinics in order to boast the women's ego at these trying times. Lang is a village role model. Hellen is always proud to be accompanied by her loving husband. Today, there is a clash of interest. Lang has a date with Chaneh at their love nest. Lang completely forgot about the clinic appointment. Hellen is already dressed waiting for him. Lang dressed, kissed and rushed past Hellen. She was surprise. "Darling! Where are you rushing to? Have you forgotten our clinic appointment? We are already late!" Lang lied. "Something urgent prompt up. We are not late sister and doctors normally come at 1pm. The lectures start at 10am. Now the time is 8.am. I'll rush to meet my appointment at 9.am then I'll come back before 10.am. Being late by 30 mins or 1hour is not a big deal. We know about the lectures. It's a repetition of last month. We will make it. We will see sister and doctor. Wait for me while I rush and come back in a jiffy". Hellen was not convince but being a nice person she accepted reluctantly. "I am waiting for you. Be fast about it". He gave her a lip kiss and rush to meet Chaneh.
At The Render Vous
"Why are you late? You always kept me waiting". Chaneh protested". Stop complaining. You cause it. My situation is delicate. We have to postpone until tomorrow. I have to attend clinic with Hellen. It is her clinic day. She is waiting for me". "Not over my soul! You came up to here? We have to continue to the town lodge. You can spend an hour and then back to your cry baby". "No!" Lang protested. "It is too late. Let's go before you lose more time. Time is not on our side". Being weak he followed Chaneh's instructions until they arrived at the lodge. They went straight to bed. They have fun. Lang has completely forgotten his wife. It was late. He was weak. He spent the night with Chaneh. She is winning the lust game. She is an expert. She knew Lang's weakness towards her. She is using it to the optimum.
Disappointment
Hellen is now very suspicious. Lang is up to something. It is not business. He is lying. "Is he cheating on me?" She asked. She cried. She felt disappointed and betrayed.

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
IS MONEY LIFE?
With Amie Sillah
Part 6
Chaneh Goes To Hellen
Chaneh controlled the man's lust. She thought to herself. "I am winning the lust game. Hellen is heavily pregnant. She cannot compete me. Moreover I am an expert in the game pregnant or not pregnant I'll always beat her. She is a shy person, a 'mugu' (fool) too cold to arouse the heat in Lang. Lang found her a virgin. Lang is her only experience. As for me I have experience with all kinds of men. Lang has said it I am his satan. I have to hurt Hellen. Make her lose faith in Lang. If she divorces him then I'll marry Lang. He loves me and he is now rich. My complaint was poverty love. Lang can now give me cash love plus real love. We are meant for each other Hellen is an intruder. She has to be chased out." Chaneh decided to visit Hellen. She verbally attacked her. "Shameless fool! You snatch your best friend's lover! You are too cold for Lang! Lang is mine! I'll get him back! Look at me my body is hot and sensuous! That's what Lang needs. Not your cold swollen body! Pregnancy my foot! Lang pity you, he does not love you. I promise you I'll get him back. Your Uncle bought him with money. I'll get him back with love. Divorce Lang! Give him back to me. He is mine. Act fast before it is too late! It is pity he feels for you not love! Trust me. I dumped him before but I need him back!" Defiantly and confidently, she walked away from Hellen. Hellen was overwhelmed. She could not verbally fight back Chaneh's verbal assaults. She cried and waited for Lang's explanation.
Hellen Confronts Her Husband
Hellen confronted Lang and asked him to explain. "Have you anything going between you and Chaneh? She confidently and defiantly said she will get you back. That she arouses your sensuality and so on so forth. What does she mean? Are you cheating on me?" Lang lied flatly. He pretended. "That beast is lying. Don't mind her. She is a loser. She betrayed me. Allah betrayed her. I'll never go back to her for what? You have given me everything. What do I need from Chaneh? She is lying she wants to spoil your heart; to split us so that she can have a chance with me." Hellen was suspicious. She was not convinced. "I am a woman. Chaneh was talking with confidence. Something is cooking around. I am smelling foul play. My hands are clean. I have never cheated on you. You are the only man I know since you made me into a woman. I am faithful to you. I'll never cheat on you. It is my honour as a woman. I respect myself and my body. If you do otherwise it will not be well with you. We have travelled a long journey together. I'll not go there you know about it. Chaneh have basked on my face that she will get you back. It is up to you. I'll not fight to get you. I value myself. But one thing is clear if you ever betray me. I'll die and my blood will be on your hands." "Chaneh is a lying beast. Don't mind her. She is devilish and satanic. I love you darling. I'll never betray you." He kissed Hellen's forehead.
Money for Shopping
Hellen asked him to give her D5, 000 (five thousand dalasis) to shop for the baby's needs. Lang complained of bad business. Their account is now a joint one. "I'll give you D3,000 (three thousand) that's what is available. I don't want to withdraw too much money. We have spent a lot on custom dues to disembark the used clothes consignment. Sorry for the inconvenience darling. I'll make it up to you." Hellen smiled. "It's okay. I'll manage. Some customers are yet to pay for their sewing. If they do, I'll fill in the gaps. Babies clothes are expensive. I'll buy cloth and sew for our baby but the accessories are expensive." "I understand. You are a manager. I trust you sweet heart.' Lang kissed her. Lang took (D5,000 (five thousand) to Chaneh. Every week he spent more than D5,000 (five thousand) on Chaneh's excessive demands. Lang is now giving the fish money (Kopari Ndawal) in Chaneh's home. The parents have turned coat. Lang is now the praised "Son-In-Law." They welcomed him wholeheartedly to their home. But Lang is being discreet about it. He does not want Hellen to know about it. The lovers are now in full swing. Lang is trapped to Chaneh's flesh. Chaneh being a Jezebel is overtaxing Lang in cash and kind.
At The Render Vous
Lang gave Chaneh D5,000 (five thousand) cash. He complained bitterly about Chaneh's trespass. He is very worried. "Why? Why Chaneh? Why did you confront Hellen and told her about us? Didn't I told you not to? You are putting me into a difficult position. I am ashamed of my wife. She has done a lot for me. I love her very much. I followed you because of the weakness of the flesh. Leave my wife alone. Don't break my marriage. You are not a wife material you know that." "That is wrong. We are meant for each other. I'll marry you. I'll be a good wife. I don't mind being a second wife." "Nonsense! I don't want to marry a second wife. Hellen is okay for me." Lang naively reasoned with Chaneh to understand. Lang cannot have his cake and eat it. He was dealing with a serpent. Chaneh knew his weakness and was not ready to let go. "Don't cross her path again." Lang emphasised. "It is not easy to be the woman outside." Chaneh complained. "Don't bother her at all. She is a nice woman. Don't bother her. I am rushing to town. People cannot see us together." She gave her a hug. "Only a hug?" Chaneh asked. Then Lang kissed her and they made another date. Chaneh was contented.
The Confession
Lang is now in deep **** as the American would say. He was torn between two women, his noble wife Hellen and his serpent Chaneh. He does not want to hurt Hellen and at the same time he is weak to let go his fun with Chaneh. He confessed to his best friend Ousman. "What! Are you mad? When did this start?" "About three months! I am dating Chaneh. We are having fun. Boy! She heats me in bed." "You are mad!" Ousman exclaimed. "Chaneh is sweet poison!" "This is lust not love." Ousman went on. "We have met several times in the bush. If Hellen find out she will hate me forever. I am confused Ousman. Please advise me. I'll abide by any advice you give me." Lang pleaded. "Love lifts you up not pinned you down. I am warning you as your best friend and confidante. If you hurt Hellen stupid man. You'll live to regret it for life. Allah will surely punish you!" Ousman advised. "What am I doing? Hellen is carrying my baby!" "Thank God you know that!" Ousman chorused.
Failed Appointment
The talk with Ousman lifted up Lang's spirit. He resolved to let go Chaneh's sweet poison. Chaneh was expecting to see Lang at their love nest but he did not turn up. Chaneh was disappointed. She opted for revenge.
Fulfilled Marriage
Lang turned a new leaf. He became the loving role model husband again. He devoted on his wife and her needs. Hellen became fulfilled. There was no reason to complain. They were having fun then Chaneh appeared from the blue. Lang was startled, surprised and he panicked. He showed firmness in front of Hellen. "Chaneh! Daughter of the devil! What are you doing in my matrimonial home? Are you mad you public ****? A common harlot! Get out of my house! My life! I love my wife! She is my priceless jewel! You lost your chance! You throw away your luck! Now I am Hellen's own. You were foolish and she is wise. Chaneh sparked. "Shameless dog! Do you think you can used and dumped me? I arouse your sensuality! I heat you up! You confessed it! What about the quality time we spent together since I divorced my husband and came to the village?" Chaneh exposed everything. Hellen became confused. She looked at Lang. She asked for an explanation. "My husband, this is a serious allegation. What have you to say?" Lang stammered. He had difficulty in explaining himself. Hellen exclaimed. "Then it is true? I am ashamed of you. All what Chaneh led you through you can still go back to her? Yes! She is right to call you a dog! I am ashamed and disappointed. Chaneh turned her anger at Hellen. "It serve you right. You snatch your best pal's man. He is not faithful to you. He has been sleeping with me and I gave him the very best. You are cold in bed, inexperienced with your swollen belly. You cannot satisfy your man but I satisfy his sexual needs. Cry! Cry to death! You are a cry baby! I have taken back what belongs to me." She turned to Lang. "You are bluffing! You cannot leave me. I am your sweet poison. You will come back. You must marry me. I reactivate your energy." Chaneh spit at Lang then left. Lang was shamed to death. He could not look into Hellen's eyes.

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
IS MONEY LIFE?
With Amie Sillah
Part 7
Lang Confronts Chaneh
"You public ****! You think you can spoil my life? You are mistaken. I love my wife I told you. Why did you explain our affair to her? Why can't you be discreet?" Lang soft-pedalled. He is weak towards Chaneh. Chaneh explained herself. "I was hurt about your failed appointment. I expected you. I have some new techniques for you. I felt bad when you failed to turn up. Now you are shared between two women Hellen and myself. You cannot cheat on me. Its wrong. Destiny has brought us together. I cannot marry Essa and you cannot totally be faithful to Hellen. This is our portion. We have to live by it." Chaneh gave him an irresistible lip kiss. Lang woke up from his trance. He freed himself from Chaneh's grip and rushed to his wife.
Hellen Packs Up
Hellen packed up her belongings. Lang came in time. He tried to stop her. Hellen sparked like fire. "Don't touch me! You are a liar and a cheat! How could you? How could you go back to Chaneh? Let alone sleeping with her! I am ashamed of you. Leave me alone! I don't ever want to set my eyes on you again!" Lang tried by all means to stop her but he couldn't. Hellen pushed Lang from her path and went away.
Chaneh Moves In
As Hellen was going out Chaneh was coming in. She mocked at Hellen. "It serves you right. It's our man and we have to share him. I am hotter, he prefers me. You are too cold for him. Moreover, you are heavy you cannot service him now but I can." Hellen stood speechless. She left for Uncle Victor's mansion.
Chane and Lang
Chaneh stayed in Lang's house. Lang became more confused. "Destiny brought us together. We are meant for each other." Lang became confused. He is ashamed. He could not act.
Uncle Victor Comes
Uncle Victor came to enquire from Lang. He found Chaneh as the mistress of the house. He knocked and Chaneh came to open the door. She answered him rudely and inpolitely. "You have no home training! I'll destroy you!" "Empty bluff! You can't do anything!" Chaneh challenged him. Uncle Victor left.
Lang Is Regretting
Lang regretted. He wanted Hellen back. Chaneh moved in with her luggage. Lang blamed himself for hurting his wife. "I'll do anything to get Hellen back. I have hurt her badly. She is pregnant with our child. I have failed her. I am an ingrate and a heart breaker." Chaneh came to caress him. He pushed her away. "I am confused. You cause all this. I don't have your time now excuse me, I am finished!" Lang got up and left. He sat down in his car and reflected. He got resolved. "Chaneh has to leave! I'll fight my lust. Chaneh is a sweet poison. If I remain stupid she will eventually kill me."
Lang Comes Back Resolved
Lang came home resolved. He took a positive stance. Chaneh was nowhere to be found. She went away with Lang's cheque.
Hellen At Uncle Victor's Home
Hellen is moody. Uncle Victor cheered her up. "Cheer up my daughter! You are a good wife. You have done everything for Lang. He does not deserve you. Don't kill yourself for him. Live for your unborn baby. Cheer up! Eat and be merry! I am here for you." Uncle Victor reassured his niece.
A Knock At The Door
There was a knock at the door. Hellen went to answer it. Who was it? Lang appeared. "Who! Its you? What are you doing here? Coming to mock at me? No! Not again! I'll not allow you to pierce my heart! I am done with you!" Lang apologized. I am a pig, a dog! I don't deserve you. Find it in your heart to forgive me. I am sorry. I am weak in the flesh but I love you. I love you with all my heart. I am praying over it for Allah to help me to be resolved. It is all my fault. You are a good wife. I have nothing against you." Hellen rebuffed and rejected him. She shut the door at his face. Lang shed emotional tears.
Lang And Uncle Victor
Lang visited Uncle Victor and confessed everything to him. "I love my wife but I am weak in the flesh. I could not resist Chaneh. She took advantage over it. I know Chaneh is sweet poison but I was foolish to keep on fooling myself. Thank God! I have prayed over it. Now I am resolved. No more Chaneh or any other woman for that matter. I love my wife and I promise to be faithful to her forever". Uncle Victor softened. "Okay! Get up! I've heard you! Hellen is only a woman. She is now sentimental but she loves you. I'll talk to her. Give her time. But behave as you have promised." "I'll Uncle! I'll! You don't know what you have until you are about to lose it. Now I know better." Lang promised. Lang explained Chaneh's fraud. "She stole my cheque and went away with my D50, 000) fifty thousand)." "What! You have to hand her over to the police. This girl has evil vipes. She has to be disciplined." Uncle Victor advised.
Lang Uses His Connections
Lang used his connections. Chaneh got arrested as she tried to cross the border to the neighbouring state.
Love Is Appreciation
Hellen and Lang love themselves. They reconciliated and live happily again. Hellen gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. It was a caesarean case the doctor advised tubal tie. The couples consented. The children were named Uncle Victor and Lang's mother Aja Sophie. The naming ceremony was glamourous. Relatives and friends came from far. There was plenty to eat and drink. There was real fun. Real Love lasts forever.
The Fraudster Put To Book
Chaneh was tried in a law court and put to book. She was sentenced and sent to jail.
Lang Is Elated
Lang came to announce the verdict. "The fraudster is sent to where she belongs." Lang said excitedly. Hellen was not pleased. She was sad. She reflected. "I pity Chaneh. She is a young woman. She has some evil vipes but she was my childhood pal. I pity her. I am not revengeful. I feel sorry for her. I do not rejoice at her misfortune. We should not rejoice at the misfortune of our enemies." She advised. "Hellen! You are always soft! Forgive! Forgive!" Lang complained, "I love you darling! You are a priceless jewel!" "Our love is mutual! Our trust should also be mutual! You should never hurt me again! Promise!" "Yes! I promise! Cross my heart!" Lang promised. They engulfed in a passionate lip kiss. They nursed the twins together. Lang remained a perfect husband and father. Hellen was never found wanting.
Ousman And Nurse Fatima
Ousman's romance with nurse Fatima blossomed. It developed into real love. They are preparing to get married soon. The couples wished them well.
