ASHLEY BAIDEN!!!




I didn’t know exactly what I was thinking of; I could only tell that some thoughts ran through my head as I stepped out of the Psychiatry ward labelled 22K. I had gone to visit Gregory Mensah, a colleague medical doctor with whom I had saved the life of a little boy weeks ago. I shed tears seeing Greg on the floor; he wouldn’t speak to me, all he did was to stare like I was some kind of strange dude from Mars. This guy loved his stethoscopes like I do and losing him to mental insanity was eating a greater part of me.
I’m told Gregory had passed out on seeing a video; the much talked about Ashley leaks - and the next thing- he had been transferred to Asylum down. Here was an intelligent young doctor practically deteriorating in the ward of a psychiatric hospital because of his girlfriend’s alleged animal act. Alleged, because I hadn't seen the video and I hope Ashley won't confirm my fears when I finally see the video.
 So I got into my car right after I had said goodbye to Greg’s nurse at the psychiatric hospital and this time I decided to watch the video that had thrown Greg into his mental absurdity. 
I had kept off the video because I thought it wasn’t worth the watch but seeing Greg in that state tickled my curiosity. I loved sextapes but I didn't think I was gonna ever see one that had made a friend go insane.
Gregory Mensah's girlfriend was none other than Dr. Ashley Baiden. I knew Ashley wouldn’t be the angel she had claimed to be; Well, I've had my suspicions from the first day they met. 
 It had been six damn months of the no marriage - no sex rule with Gregory. Ashley wouldn’t even allow a kiss from Greg. She was the typical crifѐ chick who claims that Greg was all she had aside Jesus.
Her full name was Ashley Maame Afua Kwanyiwaa Baiden; a typical Fante chick; sophisticated by all standards, spoke impeccable Saltpond Fante and played around a few Ga words she had picked from a few Ga girls she befriended during her Wesley Girls days. 
For such a Gey-Hey cum Tech trained Medical Doctor, no dulling; the lady was intelligent though and had always topped her class. And by the way, I’ve never heard anybody who was not born in the U.K yet spoke with  a sharp cogni accent like she did. In plain terms, Ashley was jut everything a father could roll up in a daughter. If Greg was your son, you would whip the hell out of him if he hadn’t fallen for her on the spot.
Well, she never missed the Thursday Christian Medical Fellowship services because she led the opening prayers and was a staunch member of the choir. For once we were all thankful because Greg was fast growing into a more devoted Christian since they had met though their relationship was a drain on his pocket.
 Ashley was just another kind of crife girl; a spendthrift and admired every new stuff in town; shoes, dresses, pens, ear-rings, jewellery, even cutlery and for a doctor, she was a perfect description of what we call “a fashionista”. I’ve never seen a crife girl with so much passion for luxury like Ashley Baiden. She would ask Greg for money to buy the latest phone, dress, shoes, eat from the newest restaurant. There was always something latest for her and for him; spending his money on her was the ultimate expression of the love they both shared. 
As memories of how Greg had met Ashley swept through my brains, I almost forgot that the video was about playing. I had inserted the pen drive into the laptop to watch the video finally. I rolled up my glasses;I knew it was going to be terrible. I felt even more guilty.
I had heard from a few Tech-trained doctors that Ashley was just another sheep in wolf’s clothing and this video was going to be my ultimate proof of the chameleon I had always suspected in her.
whoo!!!I still couldn’t believe what showed on my laptop screen. The 45 minute leaked video of Greg's "no marriage - no sex" Ashley Baiden and Doctor Michael Kissiedu in steam-hot bouts of raw sex on a desk in the latter’s office.
Permit my bluntness but the audio-visual clarity indicated to me that the act was intentionally recorded. I felt a lustful shame watching Ashley’s nakedness. The same nakedness he had hidden from Greg until they were supposed to have been married. Marriage  my foot! all that we had admired through her clothes lay bare on the screen of my Mac book . 
It was shocking, scandalous and shameful to say the least. The whole of Korle-bu had copies of the leaked sextape of the God-fearing Ashley Baiden and Dr. Kissiedu and to think that Ashley was the same woman Greg and I met six months ago; the same girl she’s been dating for the last six months, the same Ashley Baiden who led the opening prayers at the last CMF service I attended; Women!!! That was all I could say.
So I drove off feeling more sorry for my friend at the psychiatric hospital. I was gonna pass by Dr. Naa Adjeley Sowah's flat; my girlfriend of 3years whom I had not spoken to in 3 weeks. She is a hardcore party chick. I  needed to tell my "spoilt" Naa Adjeley that I love her just the way she is. At least she  shows me her true self and gives to me when I want it. There may be too many of them out there but at least my woman is not an ASHLEY BAIDEN.
