I had lump in my throat when I saw Ben making love to another woman. My blood ran cold and I felt like paying the debt of nature.
"Mezuo, darling! this is my new wife: the lass that will give me a male child" Ben said and wreathe in smiles.
Tears started dropping freely from my eyes and I tried to disclose the news to Ben but I pondered out that bringing the news to light will make him to be super elated –Ben truly resented her with intensity.
Mama on the other hand would be lugubrious and downhearted. She would be disappointed because she had previously cautioned me to bring my late child to her but unfortunately,I was obstinate.
I dashed off fast and furious. It was already 8:30pm at night.
Our estate was gigantic and undeveloped– there weren't street light in it.
There were old bushes,big trees et cetera–it was more like a forest and the bushes haven't been cleared for a long time.
As soon as I tried to pass the forest,I heard some incoherent sounds of the dusk. The grey go-away bird started singing a song of grief which echoed in my ears repeatedly.
I reminisced that Mama always advice me to make a move when I hear those timorous sounds in the dark.
Instantly,I started running, minding over my matter not taking my mind off everything that transpired.
"Where am I running to?" I asked myself when I successfully passed my forest like estate.
"Should I go to the village this night? Or should I go to the hospital and take my deceased child" I continued to soliloquies.
"I have to bury my daughter first before heading to the village, but I have no money" I uttered.
I kept thinking deeply and then decided to go to the hospital.
The road was full of numerous sapiens and bit by bit they were going home and in a blink of an eye,the road became scanty.
I was subjected to timorousness when I saw no single soul on the road– the hospital was very far as I kept running with wounds on my body.
At 9:00pm that day,I got to the hospital and the portal gate had been locked. I was knocking, knocking and knocking but no one answered.
Fortunately,I heard the voice of the gate man "Who is that?" The gate man utterance showed that he was in his slumber.
"Sir, I am the woman whose child died late in the afternoon" I said with my voice shaky and I was shaking like a leaf.
"Oh! Come inside" he replied when he opened the gate.
I thanked the gate man endlessly as I went inside the hospital.
The nurses were still at work and the doctor had left by that time. The nurses were astonished when they espied me.
"Why are you here by this time? Did you come to take your daughter's left over?" The nurses asked in unison.
"Yes" I retorted.
"You have so many bruises on your body; you can't go this night. You must wait for the doctor tommorow morning" one of them uttered.
"Let me come and treat your woúnds" one of them said as they left.
Nurse Tina treated my wounds gently and afterwards,I spent a night there.
In the morning,the doctor came and ran series of test on me. Luckily, I was unluckily because he disclosed that I was eating for two– that I was pregnant.
