Muna had a
baby girl when it was due for her delivery, he was happy at the birth of the
child and gave his support both in cash and kind.
It was more
than a year when Khalid decided to get married to Muna, as he couldn’t remain alone
and he needed someone to care for his son Hakeem, Also since he has a child
with Muna it was a fair decision to make her his wife. Muna also took in her
initial daughter, Ella, that has been with her mother all the while to be a part
of the new family.
Life
happened to be sweet for the past fifteen years until this recent occurrence of
Ella having to be pregnant for Hakeem,
unknown to both Khalid and Muna, their kids having sex on several occasions in
the same house, Muna was the most saddened person of them all, It was like a gene of bad luck passed from her to her daughter, it was also like a kind of punishment for forcefully taking what naturally does not belong to her.
The
depressed couple got home that day after leaving the hospital where Ella was
admitted, Muna refused to say a word to Khalid after they left the hospital, but
Khalid broke the silence when they got home.
“What are we
going to do now?”
“I don’t
know” she replied in the coerce voice that signified how depressed she was
“Don’t say
you don’t know, we have a grave matter on our hands” He persuaded her
“What do you
want me to say? Why don’t you go to talk to that useless son of yours and ask
him why he was sleeping with my daughter”
“You know you
shouldn’t be throwing grabs at anyone, because apparently we are to be blamed
for this misfortune, we were not looking out for the kids enough”
“I was
always looking out for Ella”
“Oh really,
so why didn’t you notice she was busy opening her legs for Hakeem?”
“Don’t try
to put the blame on me”
“Listen, I’m
not blaming you okay, all I’m saying is that we need to come to a decision”
“I’ve
already made a decision, we are leaving”
“Leaving to
where?”
“I’m taking
Ella away from here”
“Are you out
of your mind?”
“What else would
you have us do? Have the baby under the
same roof, how is that suppose to happen? how are we going to explain it to
people?”
“Where would
you go?”
“I don’t know
but somewhere far from here”
“What about the
baby, are you going to tamper with it?”
“Only if the
doctor had not said it was dangerous, I would have”
“Well I
still do not support you leaving with Ella and the baby, what do you expect I,
Hakeem and Bella to do?”
“Bella is
coming with us while you and Hakeem can go to hell” Muna rose immediately to
begin to pack some of her clothes
“What are
you doing? Are you leaving already?”
“Obviously,
we will be gone as soon as Ella is out of the hospital”
“You can’t
survive all by yourself Muna” He went to meet her where she stood and struggled
with her to stop packing, she began to cry bitterly until she got weak and fell
on his arms still in tears.
