Mansa - Tears of A Bleeding Heart
Life they say has its ups and downs, but with Mansa's life,
she has only seen sadness and grief. She grew up in an orphanage and at the age
of 17, she was adopted by Rev. Bernard, a wealthy Pastor with a large
congregation and branches all over the nation. Rev. had a beautiful wife and
two sons - Derek and Chris who lived in the United States. Indeed, Mansa was
really blessed with the gift of vision. This made her foster parents more fond
of her. Rev. actually thought Mansa was a gift from God. He groomed her to be
very prayerful and spiritually strong. Mansa was also blessed with real beauty.
She had a dark skin tone that was perfectly smooth. She led the prayer group in
her foster church, as
young as she was. Unfortunately, Rev. died... and trouble
began for Mansa. His death remained a mystery as no one knew the cause. They
were in church and he was in the middle of a sermon when he suddenly had a
heart attack. He passed on before they could get him to the hospital. Due to
this tragedy, Rev. Bernard's sons who lived in the States came down to the
country with their mother. That was the boys' first time seeing Mansa. Like
every Christian family, they embraced her as a sister. However, a few months
after Rev's death, an unusual incident occurred at church that got people
talking ill about Mansa.
Mansa met Elvis who was with her at the
orphanage before she got adopted. They were both
orphans and to Mansa, Elvis was a brother. Mansa was
ecstatic to see him... She jumped and hugged him at the entrance of the church,
right in front of everyone, including her foster mother and her two sons Derek
and Chris. She got even more excited when she saw that Elvis had come with his
own car. life had smiled well on Elvis and he had done well for himself. He had
moved to town not too long ago and decided to visit a nearby church not knowing
that this was the same church where Mansa and her
foster family worshiped. After the warm hug, they continued
holding hands as they talked and tried catching up on old times. Their gestures
however got pretty much the entire congregation talking. Most people felt they
were being inappropriate. Mrs. Bernard and Chris were no exception. Chris
especially, being the eldest son, got very upset about Mansa and Elvis. Mummy,
who is that guy Mansa is talking to? Chris asked his mother while they all
waited in their ar for Mansa. He was interrupted by Derek who felt Chris's
question was out of order. Seriously, Chris, you are asking this question? Let
the girl be! I believe they know each other so it's fine Derek said. Derek, go
and get her! She can't keep us waiting like this their mother instructed. Derek
immediately got down from the car and walked towards where Mansa and Elvis
stood. Meanwhile, Mansa had invited Elvis for a prayer meeting later that
evening. Just as Elvis accepted the invite, Derek joined them. Excuse me, Derek
said. Mum wants us to leave so I guess you guys need to wrap up. Sure Derek.
I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting. I totally lost track of time. Anyway,
meet Elvis, a long time friend of mine. Elvis this is my brother Derek Mansa
introduced both men as they shook hands. Derek then walked Mansa to their car
while Elvis went back into the church premises. That was when he realised that
people were murmuring. As soon as Mansa got into the car with Derek, her foster
Mum asked her a direct question. Who was that guy you were talking to? Mrs
Bernard asked. Mum, he is an old friend of mine, from the orphanage Mansa
answered. It doesn't look like that to me! Mansa, be very careful Mrs. Bernard
cautioned in a very angry tone.
I'm sorry mum, it won't happen again, Mansa said as they set
headed home. Dere thought that his mother had over-reacted and felt bad about
it.
Later that evening, Elvis showed up at the prayer meeting as
he had promised Mansa. Chris was supposed to come take Mansa home and he was
running late. She tried severally to reach him but his phone was switched off.
Elvis then offered to drop Mansa off. She initially refused but as it was
getting late and it didn't look like she had much of an option, she changed her
mind and accepted the ride. Elvis drove off with her and soon they arrived at
the main entrance of Mansa's house. Mansa gave Elvis a goodbye hug and thanked
him for his kind gesture. Little did she know that her foster mother was
watching them from her window. From where she stood, it appeared Mansa and
Elvis were kissing...
