Broken

We reached an old flat and I lead them iniside after realising we are secured. For about some months and we stayed there and I proceeded with the scetch work for our survival. I managed the money very wisely and was able to further the education of my siblings.

One day, on my way back home, all of a sudden I found myself on a hospital bed. I was in labour and they had to do cesarian surgery due to the immature bones in my pelvic. I had heard a lot about surgery and at my age my Chance of surviving was just forty percent. Fears took over all of me. I did not want to die because I did not want my siblings strunded; and besides I would not have gotten that huge amount of money too settle my bills even if I had come out successful.

God being so good and merciful, I delivered a bouncing baby girl. I should have been attained for about a week or two because I was having challenges with my nervous system but I insisted to be discharged even when I had no money on me. I pleeded with them to allow me go back home for money to settle the bills. I was given the permission but with a condition of leaving my newly born baby behind with the assurance of returning. I reached home only to find Jessie and Daniel sitting down in their uniforms. They looked so tired and miserable.

"What is going on here? Why are you boys here while it's not yet time to close; and where are your siblings?"

From everything they they told me, it was clear they did not know the whereabout of Naya and Clara.

"And what about Margret?"

I asked with an expecting haste answer voice. They told me they had all gone in search of them. I quickly went to check under the bed,took the handkerchief, untied

and was welcomed by papers. I could not get anything.

"Does that mean Clara had taken the money? Hell no, this cannot happen to me."

I cried. Only her had an idea about where I keep my money because I trusted her. For the second time Clara had broken me. I blamed Jessie for allowing Naya follow her. I put myself together and went out to search for them after telling Jessie and Daniel to wait at home. As I ran and walked about asking, I saw a large crowd gathered in the middle of the road. The chaos had become a prevention to vehicles that were passing. I approached the scene and struggled to enter into the crowd only to find Naya in a pool of blood. I was stunned. They kept asking me whether I know her from somewhere but I did not pay attention to them. I just went down on my knees beside her and sobbed bitterly. I was taking her to the hospital but her condition was above the knowledge of doctors. She had a deep cut on the forehead and her jaw which exposed almost half of her teeth and she wouldn't stop bleeding profusely. There was no help coming from anywhere because she had passed on already.
