"ohh my dear, I know you are waiting for the right one but you know you are not getting any younger" said Mame to her only daughter Ewurama. Ewurama is considered as a goddess due to her beauty that has charmed almost all the men in their village
There is not a single day a man haven't brought goods and accessories to ask for the hands of Ewurama . Ewurama's eyes was as sharp and deep like a glazing fire and her curly hair fell gracefully on her shoulders.
One sunny afternoon where young men were on hunt and sea while their wives and unmarried young women were at home and their farms preparing food and doing house chores . Mame called out for Ewurama who was busily scrubbing their burnt cooking pot "yes Mame! I'm coming" . she wiped her hands with the edge of her cloth wrapped around her waist and run to her mother's hut "I'm here Mame" she said breathing heavily as her eyes fell on a neatly packed cloths and kenta with jewelries and gold coins "what are these Mama who brought them " asked Ewurama "well my daughter this young man here brought them for your hand in marriage and he is not from here, he came from the city, Cape he is the translator for the men who came from the west side of the world" said Mame . " oh Mame not again I " but before Ewurama could finish her sentence the young man cut her off by saying " hi my name is Kwame but I am mostly called by the name Filip, I have heard a lot about you " "Excuse me sir but I'm sorry I can not accept your proposal , I do not know what you heard about me but you can not just come for my hands in marriage based on what you heard .I'm sorry once again but I will have you leave " said Ewurama . " Ewura!!" Mame shouted will hitting Ewurama's head " don't say that to our guest , of all the men who came here to ask for your hands in marriage this young man is different" . " in what way mom tell me you don't even know him " said Ewurama . but before Mame was about to say another word she realized that Filip was still there so she said " Kwame my son I'm very sorry for the behavior of my daughter , but I'm sorry I will have to ask you to give her some time , I hope you understand" ." its alright Mame I understand stand very well it was my mistake I shouldn't have come here without no notice I'm very sorry ,I wouldn't have accept my proposal if I was her , forgive me Ewurama for my sudden appearance ,but I will want to know you more if I may get the chance " said Filip. " you may come here anytime you want Kwame " said Mame. "but mommy" said Ewurama " shhh Ewura i have had enough of you " said Mame turning to Filip " my son you are welcome anytime to even eat with us , and I'm sure Ewura would be very glad to cook for you and tour you around the village " Ewurama looked at Mame wanting to speak but Mame looked at her sarcastically and said " isn't that right Ewura" ."Yes mother " said Ewuama . " thank you very much Mame I may take my leave"said Filip ."oh okay my son then I can not see you off you know old age " said Mame ." its okay ,then I made my self off" said Filip . " oh no Ewura see him off for me okay , u wouldn't want our guest to go just like that hmm " said Mame . " I will see him off then mother " said Ewurama ." Good " said Mame
