MY ONLY HOPE
CHAPTER 8
People shook their head when they Amaka going into the labour room
She cried her eyes out, whenever she felt like giving up the last word she said to her father “Dad I will leave but I promise to make you proud” echoed in her ear
The old woman on the other side panicked and cheered her up until she gave birth to a baby boy
She looked at him and smiled, welcome to this wicked world..she said crying
I know you have always been a strong girl,congratulations my daughter, I’m indeed proud of you..the woman said pecking her
Nnedi and her daughter kept on struggling to find a good hospital where she put to bed,she turned and saw some guys standing in front of her
We have come to collect our balance, since last year..the first guy said
What balance, I don’t have any money for now, please go away.. She replied eyeing them
The second guy slapt her and raised her hand to slap back when a bottle landed on her head
Do you want to kill my mother for me? Muna asked crying
We will come back for her,they said and left
Nnedi’s face was covered with blood, muna stared at her and went away
Aaah who did this to you? Mrs Ngozi asked
Those guys,I asked them to go because I don’t have their balance yet,they broke a bottle on my head
What’s even wrong with you eh,give them their balance na..Mrs Ngozi said taking her in
Muna was about crossing the road when a car from nowhere hit her, she fell and died instantly, some guys had to take her corps home
Mr Emmanuel cared less about the death of muna,all he wanted to see was his daughter Amaka, he cried silently praying in his heart
He had no other alternative than to bury muna,she died with her pregnancy
Only you knows what happened to my daughter.. Nnedi accused her husband
What do I got to do with a useless girl,tell me Nnedi, do you want me to strangle you? He roared
She adjusted, hissed and continued crying, God will judge you Emma.. She said moving away
