After Araway and I arrived at the house, I cleaned up and helped Orsty get the evening meal ready. We all sat down to eat, and had small talk about how things had gone that day. While Araway was talking about his day at the mine, he mentioned the new worker, was transferred to the mine, and would be living there at the mine. I didn’t say anything, or act like I was interested in the news. But it did start me to thinking about the next day.

I helped Orsty clean up the kitchen, and told him I had something to tell him later. After the cleanup, I went to my room and got ready for bed. I then went outside to the back porch.

Shortly Orsty came out, with the usual drinks and plate of sliced melons. After placing them on the table, he sat down, then looked over my way. I knew that was my signal to start talking. I then proceeded to tell him about Komla, and all that had transpired with him, at the mine. He just laughed, and ask me if things were serious, if I was interested in Komla. I told Orsty, that Komla was a nice guy, and that I liked him. But I told Orsty, that it was nothing serious, I wasn’t interested in Komla other than as a friend.

Orsty said that I should be straightforward Komla, and tell him how I felt, and not to keep him whith false hope. Orsty said I definitely needed to tell Komla who I really was, and what the situation was with me. I told Orsty, that would be no problem, because by now he already knows all that. I pointed out that tonight would be Komla’s first night at the mine. And that since I wouldn’t be sleeping in the slave quarters, he would start asking questions. I told Orsty, that I was sure Kwaku would explain everthing to Komla.

Orsty ask what was I going to do the next day, and would I then explain everything to Komla, Orsty said I should explain why I hadn’t told him the truth earlier, and that it wouldn’t hurt to apologize. I didn’t say anything, but just kept on eating the melon.

Araway came outside, and told us we needed to get to bed, that it was late. So we all went in to bed.

The next morning, I got up still thinking about last nights conversation with Orsty. I joined him in the kitchen, and helped with getting breakfast ready. He looked at me, and then reminded me about his advice the night before.

Upon arriving at the mine, I went straight to the elevator. After stripping, I rode the elevator down to the pit. I located the overseer, and ask about my work assignment that day. The overseer took me to my work location, and I was surprised to see Waziz. Waziz explained that Komla would be working with Kwaku that day. Waziz laughed and rubbed my ass, so I knew everyone in the pit, knew about what had transpired between Komla and me. I didn’t say anything, just went about with my work.

When lunch time came, I went to the eating shelter, and got my food. I then joined Kwaku to eat, and he slapped my ass. He said that was for leaving him to explain everything to Komla. Kwaku told me Komla was very upset, embarrassed, and that he really mad about what I had done. I told Kwaku, that Orsty had, also, told me I had done wrong with Komla.

Kwaku called for Komla to join us, but he refused. I then went over and got Komla by the arm, and led him back to where Kwaku was waiting. He went reluctantly, and ask if he had a choice. Once we were with Kwaku, I got down on my knees and ask for forgiveness, and told him I was sorry for hurting him that way. I explained to him, that I still wanted to be friends, and that I really liked him. Komla gave me a big smile, and said he would like to be friends. I gave him a big hug, and we finished eating.

I went back to work with Waziz, until the overseer came and told me it was time for my workout with Kwaku. I joined Kwaku, and ask him what Komla had said, after they went back to work. He said Komla was happy about my apology, and that I wanted to be his friend.

Kwaku and I had our workout, which was strenuous, as usual. And after being showered by the overseer, I headed to the top. Where I joined Araway for our ride home..
