Chapter 3
She recalled how much her husband had spent on treating her womb so as to be able to bear kids.
"Children are blessings from God.How come I've used my hand to shut the door against God's blessings?
I've used my hand to put on the robe of mourning....a garment hung in the far thick forest where the spirits live.
I walked fearlessly into that forest and put on the clothes. I didn't see the dark color of the robe until today when I can see that it is darkness stitched round with black thread. I can feel the darkness of the robe enveloping the entire room.
Only dark shadows move around.Light seems to have disappeared from the room." Sonia mused within herself.
"Will that sun that greeted me from my mother's womb ever since again? Not ever again! I've resigned already from the true taste of happiness. No hope Here again....no hope Here again,she kept on lamenting.
She was in lots of pain after the effect of the anaesthetic injection had disappeared from her system.
Later on the pain gradually subsided and she could stand on her feet without support.
Every morning,a doctor would come around with some nurses to check on Sonia in order to ascertain her level of improvement.On one of such mornings,Dr Meyer,her usual doctor,came in alone to see her.
Good morning,madam Sonia..How is your health today?asked Dr Meyer.
"I'm fine,Doctor.The pain has subsided," Sonia replied.
