1 Lucky Lucky (My first short tale)

It was the moment, Nadiya felt like the whole world took turns to stab her, she just to stop, and after a few more pushes, the pain was gone, followed by the cry of her baby, "it's a boy!" Said the midwife as she lifted nadiya's child. If Nadiya could add all the times she was happy in her life, she couldn't sum it up to this one, she had a strange feeling of lightness but she didn't care, all she wanted to do was do admire the beautiful fruit in front of her. But Nadiya suddenly became scared, because she had never felt so light before, not until she noticed the luxurious pool of blood she was covered in. 'How could one person bleed so much?' she thought. She turned to her left to see her husband had already gone out to look for the doctor, and the midwife had a sad expression on her face like someone was having their last moments on Earth, she then said " you would have been a great mother" before leaving the room like she was about to cry, " No..." Nadiya whispered, "Nooooooo!" Her tone increased, 'she couldn't die, not when her child just came into this world' but as she looked into her child's sleeping eyes, she just burst into tears, then few moments after, the doctor came in with her husband, he examined her and went out with her husband with a blank expression, soon after, Nadiya's husband came in tearstained as he hugged her, sobbing quietly in her arms without saying a word, Nadiya confirmed by his reaction she only had few minutes left because she started finding hard to breathe, " Lucky... His name is Lucky, because he is" Nadiya whispered and slowly she faded into eternal slumber. Then it happened, as her eyes started closing slowly she could only hear the ambience of her husband screaming and shaking her repeatedly, calling hear name and saying she shouldn't leave them, but it was too late...

The days had passed like months, the months had passed like years and it was now 7 years since his wife's death, and Lucky's father, Lance, decided that he would get married again, and not long after that, a new member of his work place, Lydia, caught his eye a little, and soon after a year of being close friends they fell in love and they got married, and had three wonderful kids after, but still, part of him still missed his dear wife, 'but at least their son still reminded him of her' he gladly thought.

...5 years later

Five years later, Lance got bankrupt, his bills started pilling up, sometimes he would go on depts and the family started facing difficulties, and he was just getting older and older and he knew that soon, he would not be able to fend for his family anymore. And he was right, he got retired and now their main income was from his small businesses and his second wife's sales shop. They all now lived in a small rented house, because he had to sell their bigger house to cover for his depts, sometimes they would only eat once a day and now they could definitely say life was hard on them.

Now Lucky was almost 18, and his father was finally able to buy him a phone, it was the best he could do in all their hardship.

Lucky stared at his phone, which you could barely call one as he went out to have his SIM registered, but he just just kept on staring at the phone till he didn't notice he was in the midst of a small crowd, then a man smartly dressed in a yellow-theme, with a notepad came and asked Lucky " Hi sir, um please what's your name?" " Erm, Lucky... Lucky Lance" he said without even looking up but noticed the man was still standing there " Um, I need your full name sir" he said. " Yes, my name is Lucky, Lucky Lance as full" said Lucky. " Oh but are you lucky?" He asked teasingly before disappearing, then that made Lucky wondered, why his mom would name him that, now, very soon, or later their family would go on hungry nights ' wait! Someone just asked for his name! What could that person have wanted?' but before he could move to find the mysterious man, an unknown number sent a text to him and immediately a call from a different number came, after picking the call, the man immediately said, " Hello, look, whatever code that was sent to you was a mistake, so I need you to repeat it loudly" "um, okay, it says 0404" " Huh?! " was all the man could say. Lucky started getting annoyed after a few trials and still, he couldn't hear him, out of frustration, Lucky shouted in the midst of the crowd, " 0-4-0-4!!, Jeez.." and everyone turned to him, " Well it seems we have a winner, give it up for Lucky Lance everyone!, Congratulations! You just won the sum of 30,000 dollars!" Said a man in front of the crowd who seemed to be conducting a trivia. ' what? How does he know my name? ' Lucky thought, and he now remembered that the man who asked for his name must have been part of the trivia team. " Wait! Did you just say I won 30,000 dollars? " Lucky asked after snapping out his sudden daze. " Yes, your code was correct, 0404" said the man who was clearly conducting a trivia. . ' what? How does he know my name?

The crowd then cheered for him, some even lifted him in celebration. He could not believe it, was he really lucky? And supprisingly the amount got sent immediately, he didn't have a bank account so he gave his dad's, while he walked to his house, he was still comprehend ing everything that just happened 10 minutes ago, as he walked into the house his father was there staring wide open at his phone, Lucky said " I won the competition dad! And it just happened q few minutes ago, I...I " Lance was silent, but his eyes became watery as he smiled and gave his son a heartwarming hug and said, " she was right all along"
