It was a rainy day, as
the sound of heavy downpour was heard combating with the roof. Daniel a young
intelligent man who has been married to Lucy for more than twelve years was in
his parlour thinking why he's childless for years.
"Daniel my son it
has been more than twelve years now you married Lucy, yet she haven't given you
a children" His mother said furiously. Daniel made her halcyon, assuring
her his wife will give her a grandchild at the appointed time. With the sweet
and calm words that proceed from Daniels mouth, his mother nodded in acceptance
to his words. Lucy was in the kitchen when this conversation took place, she
never uttered a word.
Daniel and Lucy, who still look young, were
not discouraged by their present predicament. They were still prayerful to God
for a child. Two years later Lucy became pregnant and
she bore a son called Isaac. Her mother-in-law was happy. After three month,
Lucy was traveling with Isaac to show her mother. All commuters were visited by
gun men and ordered to drop their belongings.
Suddenly one of the criminals caught Lucy
hiding money in Isaac's diaper. He snatched Isaac from her, removed the money
and smashed him on the high way. Isaac's head was shattered as vehicles climb
on him. Lucy cried all through the journey. When she got home the entire family
of her husband accused her of killing the baby, they called her all sots of
names, while others spat at her to stop her crocodile tears. Lucy passed
through excruciating pains from the death of her baby coupled with the insult
and accusations from her husband family.
Nice and sad
