"Cold desert"

Episode 17 - *FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN*

I'm sure I looked like a late sister or friend, or could there be more to it?
The nine months was soon here with us. I couldn't stand the pain. I shouted for help. Her daughter, Asantewaa couldn't wait but go and get a cab for me to be taken to the hospital.

I delivered on our way to the hospital. Her mum came over to check on me and give me the necessary care. It was a bouncing baby boy. I named him *Aky3de*. He was handsome and hairy.
My new mum took very good care of him. All I did was to breastfeed him and sleep.

She called me one dawn when the baby was three months old. I knew my stay in the house was over. She was there with Asantewaa. What was there to be talked about?

I sat down with my hands between my thighs.
She asked that I narrate the whole story to her once again, I mean how I got pregnant and ended up on the street. Again, Asantewaa cried as I talked.
I'm sure whichever reason behind those tears would be unraveled today.
They both kept quiet and looked sad after I had finished.

"We are going to that house first thing in the morning. He can't take us for fools".
I was confused with this.
"...do you know I was once a member of that church? Asantewaa here used to serve them. She went through the same ordeal. That same man raped her and denied ever doing that. I'm not taking it likely this time around. I will put him where he deserves. I've already reported the case to the police and they will be here very early", she said.

Really? Is that what he's been doing all this while? He must be arrested.
