24 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS: Episode 11 – The End
EPISODE 19
Yvonne’s heart got broken when she saw them. Yaw was surprised when he saw her at his door. She looked pale and weak.
“Yaw, so this is what you are busy with that you couldn’t even pick up my calls” Yvonne said.
Yaw quickly ran to where she was standing and held her, ignoring whatever she was saying.
Yaw was just happy to see her, but Yvonne was still hurt about what she saw which seemed like Yaw was kssing Franca.
Yvonne had become very sensitive with any situation around her. She all of sudden finds everything serious and often became emotional to it.
Initially, such a thing wouldn’t bother her but after being subjected to rape and torture in the hands of Daisy and Tiger had made her very sensitive.
In a nut shell, it had affected her psychologically.
Franca played along and helped Yaw usher her in.
You could tell from her look that she was badly weak.
Yvonne never mentioned what happened at Daisy’s end, she lied to Yaw that she escaped.
They planned on seeing Franca’s Dad first thing the following morning.
Yaw was just happy with the return of Yvonne. She on the other hand was hurt and full of doubt as to what Franca was doing at Yaw’s end at that time of the night.
Besides what she also saw upon her arrival made her think something different. She felt that, at least Yaw should have been on the move searching for her but he appeared unconcerned even to the extent of texting “Busy” when she sent him a message.
As much as she was so much in love with Yaw, she now had a reason to doubt him however, she pondered everything in her heart and decided to do the confrontation later.
They spent the night together and soon it was morning and they prepared to set off to their Dad’s place.
Franca went out strangely with her purse. She returned within the shortest time. It looked as if she had returned with something in her purse.
Yvonne and Yaw wondered where she had gone to but somehow they didn’t find it important to ask her.
They quickly set off. Franca received a strange phone call. What made it suspicious was, she never spoke back to the person. She only answered and listened to the caller.
Caller: ” You have the package now, work with it before I come in”
That was the only thing the caller said.
Franca made a weird comment right after she had received the call.
“Yvonne, don’t you think its about time you tell Yaw about JayJay.” Franca said.
Yvonne got surprised and was wondering why Franca will ask such a question. Besides who was JayJay, she even didn’t know him.
Before Yvonne could open up her mouth to ask, Yaw had already done that.
“Who are you talking about Franca, who is JayJay?” Yaw asked.
“Oh don’t worry, I don’t even know what came into my mind, Yvonne doesn’t know him, he is a close friend of mum” She manipulated her answer.
Yaw knew that, that was an obvious lie. He was then determined to ask Franca about JayJay in the absence of Yvonne.
Yaw was so much convinced that there was a lot of things that he didn’t know about Yvonne.
First it was the lie about Yvonne being related to Franca, then He found out that Yvonne was a lesbian and now JayJay.
All these went through Yaw’s mind.
24 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS: Episode 11 – The End
Meanwhile Yvonne too on the other hand became very suspicious.
All of a sudden she has seen some closeness between Yaw and Franca not forgetting what she saw yesterday when she returned.
The barriers between Yvonne and Yaw started popping out. They were losing trust in each other.
It was very clear now that Franca was on the move. She was striking from an angle they least expect.
Her plans were working, Franca was obviously up to something.
She just succeeded in bringing doubts between Yaw and Yvonne.
However, there are more questions to be answered.
More mysteries unsolved.
Who is behind the killing of Yvonne’s mum?
What is Daisy trying to achieve in all this?
Was Ray and Yvonne really twins?
Who is the “He” Franca and Susan keep talking about?
And what does Susan have against Yaw?
As soon as they got to their father’s end, Franca rushed to the living room and placed something beneath one sofa.
Yvonne and Yaw by then were now entering so they didn’t see what she had done.
They came to meet the absence of their Dad who was on his way from the mortuary where his late wife was.
They all sat at the living room and waited for him.
Even though Yvonne and Yaw sat together, you could feel this tension and gap between them.
Franca called one of the maids to dust up the living room cause it looked dusty.
Yvonne suggested they go to her room but Yaw insisted they stay there cause he was comfortable there.
The maid came to the sofa that Franca had placed something and started cleaning it.
As soon as the maid lifted the cushion in the sofa, she saw one of Yvonne’s work brown envelop which had her work address on.
She quickly brought it to her.
“Madam I think this is yours” the maid said.
Yvonne didn’t look surprised as she knew that she sometimes brings her work stuff home.
Yaw was sitting beside her as she opened the envelop.
To her surprise she saw the pictures that Daisy had taken while She was being raped by Tiger.
Yaw also saw it and quickly took the pictures from Yvonne to make sure whatever he saw was real.
Indeed it was real. He stood up asked
“Yvonne, what is this, tell me” Yaw asked.
“Yaw, I can explain, please listen to me” Yvonne said.
“Tell me, Yvonne whats the meaning of this, who is this guy” Yaw asked with his temper rising.
Yvonne couldn’t take it anymore she ran into her room and shut the door behind her.
Franca quickly came to Yaw to have a view of the pictures.
“Oh no, that’s JayJay” Franca said.
“JayJay, but you said He is a friend of your mother’s? Yaw asked.
“Look, Yaw, you don’t expect me to be telling you everything about Yvonne, that’s her ex guy. He went abroad and I heard he is back in the country.
It seems he still has eyes for Yvonne and from the look of this picture, I think they have met recently” Franca lied completely.
What a set up, how could she come out with such plan.
It’s amazing that Yaw was falling for Franca’s lie.
While Franca was still holding the pictures and envelope, her Dad came in.
She quickly hid the pictures so that her Dad wouldn’t see it. That act she made convinced Yaw that Franca really cherished her sister. It looked as if she was protecting her sister.
Her Dad came and was feeling very sad concerning the death of his ex wife.
“Dad, welcome” Franca welcomed him.
“Thank you, I couldn’t believe it when I saw your mother being placed at the mortuary.
Who ever did this will surely pay for it”, her dad said.
“Sir, how far with the police, any news yet?” Yaw asked.
”That’s the good news about this whole situation, the police discovered some finger prints which seems to be that of a lady, they are yet to find a match and once they do, I will make sure that killer pays dearly for this” Father said.
As soon as he made mention of this Franca panicked a little. Yaw asked to leave. Before he step out of the living room, a weird looking man entered the compound.
He was dressed in suit and appeared very serious. When he entered the compound, he saw Yaw and Franca coming towards the gate.
As soon as he saw Yaw, he halted and starred at him looking very furious.
“Sir welcome” Franca welcomed him.
“Where is your Father” He said.
“Inside, sir” Franca answered and without saying a word he went towards the living room.
“Who is that weird man, Franca” Yaw asked.
“Mr. Aziz, Yvonne’s biological father and my mother’s uncle” Franca answered.
“So that means, that’s Ray’s father? ” Yaw asked.
Franca nodded.
“Oh no, that’s why he gave me that look, I think he knows something, am not safe Franca” Yaw panicked and said.
“Oh come on Yaw, he doesn’t know you anywhere. I can assure you that. Look, I can give you a room for you to stay for awhile. Its just across the street, it belongs to my Dad.” Franca offered.
Yaw felt he will be secured there. He started growing this likeness for her, for being caring and protective.
That was what he knew Franca for.
“I will go and pack some few stuffs, will call you when am through, and please kindly let your sister know.
Am really finding it difficult to trust her now. And thank you so much Franca, you have really been helpful ” Yaw said that.
Franca hugged him so tight that it was difficult for her to let him go. Everything seems to be going in her favor. Yaw is liking her and growing doubts about Yvonne.
“Ermm Franca, I think you should let go now” Yaw jokingly said, just to stop Franca from prolonging the hug.
That moment he knew that Franca still felt something for him. But he ignored until Franca made a touching statement.
“Yaw, am sorry to say this, but I still love you, but hey sometimes the only way to prove your love is by letting that person be where he wants to be.
Am sorry for all that I may have caused you and Yvonne, I guess I didn’t know how to express it. ” Franca said.
Yaw got touched by her words and took her by the hand looked straight into her eyes.
“Franca I think its about time you forgot about the past and move on. I know its hard but you have to. I appreciate your effort but I can’t take advantage of it. I think we need to talk more about this when I return”, Yaw said and gave her another hug and left.
Yvonne had been sobbing for long, all of a sudden she had that courage again. She remembered one advise her late mother kept telling her as she was growing up.
“Humans can never achieve anything without a push, nothing can be given on a silver platter, don’t let anyone overshadow your happiness, fight for what will make you happy without stepping on other people’s toes.”
This advice has been her inspiration in life while growing up. Once she remembered this, she had this inner strength that motivated her to keep fighting.
She wiped off her tears, picked up the phone and began calling Yaw.
24 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS: Episode 11 – The End
At the living room, Mr. Aziz and Franca’s father engaged in a hot argument.
“My daughter has every right to know who her Daddy is and now that her mother is gone, am suppose to take care of her now and not you” Mr. Aziz said.
“Where were you all this while, and you come back here telling me all these nonsense. You are talking about rights and you can’t even take up your responsibilities as a father” Franca’s step father said in anger.
Their voices were up that Yvonne heard them from the room.
She quickly went downstairs and saw Mr. Aziz who she had never seen before and her step Dad.
From their conversation, it looked as if whatever Franca had told Yaw was the truth.
Yvonne got downstairs and interrupted.
“Whats going on here, whose biological father is who? Yvonne asked.
