I pray no one ever finds an in-law like mine

I asked her name and she courteously said, "I'm Maame Abena." I told her to be my friend and she asked me, "Where do you know me from?" I answered, "You pass by this house each morning carrying water. I've watched you every day and waiting for an opportunity like this to talk to you. Yes, we haven't spoken but I know you." She asked me, "Are you a new person in town?" I said, "Yes I am. I'm the guy who drives that blue pickup. I came here not too long ago." She said excitedly, "Oh so you're that man who blasts dust on us anytime he drives by?". When I asked her phone number and she told me she didn't use a phone I thought she was joking. "You don't have a phone or you don't want to give your number to me," I asked. "Why didn't you continue schooling," I asked. She said, "Please I don't want to be your girlfriend again." I asked why and she said, "You city boys are like that. You have your beautiful girlfriends in the city but you come here and sleep with us, give us babies, and disappear. If you want me, come and meet my parents." I told her it was too early to meet her parents. "At least, lets' date for some time. When we are sure of each other then we proceed to meet parents." She asked, "If you're not already sure about me then why are you proposing to me?". "She's my only daughter. If you see how beautiful she is, it means a lot of care went into creating her so we don't joke with her at all. But let me ask you a question, are you going to marry her?" I answered shyly, "Yeah, if God makes a way for us, why not?" The mother spoke for the first time, "God always makes a way. Just make sure you walk on that way he had created for you and you'll be fine.” No birthday gift, Valentine's day outing, or money for rent. A month or so later, he called again, "My son I need help again. If you don't help my enemies would succeed in robbing me of my land. I need only GHC400." When I sent him the money, he asked me, "Are you giving this one to me for free or you'll deduct it from the bride price?". "My father is sick and in bed. We need to take him to the hospital but no money." I went with her to see her father. "Is it not this man who was dying only yesterday?" I called Maame and asked her about it. He came in, took a seat, and asked his daughter to excuse us. He asked me, "So when are you finally coming to marry my daughter?" I said, "Very soon. We are making planes." He exhaled loudly. I asked, "So what do you suggest we do since I'm not ready to marry now.” I asked her, "Now that you're married to someone else, can I call your father and ask him to pay what he owes me? The advance bride price I paid." We both burst out laughing like two mad beings. Source | Summary
