CHAPTER 217:IS SHE MARRIED.

The way Ivana was talking, it showed that she was still mourning the baby. Milka felt bad for her and what mama Teresia told her replayed in her mind. 'I think for Ivana to stop feeling this way I will suggest her to adapt the child Mana Teresia have told me about' she thought as she looked at Ivana.

"Okay don't worry I will try my best to be there for you. I am sorry that I have to leave now, I trust that you are in good hands right now," Sammy said.

"It's okay, by the way thank you for the porridge and taking care of me," Ivana said.

Sammy left and Ivana remained with Mish and the four girls. 

"Ivana I will go and make the preparation, then Milka us going to remain here with you," Mish said.

"Make sure that nothing goes wrong and this should not leak to the media or else! I hope you understand what I mean," Ivana warned.

The three girls left with Mish for the mansion. Milka remained behind to take care of Ivana. She was so happy because she will have a perfect time and privacy to tell Ivana about what she have  been thinking.

So Mish started right away to preapare supper for Ivana since her hospital room was exactly like a full furnished house. She asked I ana what she wanted to eat for supper. Ivana wanted brown stiff meal made from Cassava and millet flour with fried meat and little bit of veggies.

After she have finished cooking the meal , she asked Ivana if she had bathed the baby since it was born. Ivana told her that she had no idea of how to bath it. So Milka again warmed the water and decided to bath the baby, when Ivana was eating.

"You mean you know how to bath a new born baby?" Ivana asked surprised.

"Yes, remember I grew up in children's home and sometimes we can found a new born baby left at the gate. So in most cases we were the one to take care of each other that's how I learned," Milka said.

"I wish I had know this earlier, I would have called you the first thing after giving birth," Ivana said as she continued eating while looking at howilja was bathing the baby.

"Don't worry I am here now ma'am," she said as she applied the oil to the baby.

"I guess Mish didn't want to stay here because the baby had started to smell some bad odour," Ivana said while still looking at how Milka is good with the baby. She put the clothes on the baby then added the shawl on top of it. 

Ivana was mesmerized and amazed with her, her stomach was already full when the baby started to smell nice.

After she was done eating her supper, Milka handed her the baby then cleaned the table and everything that was there. She went to freshen up before she ate her dinner.

"By the way ma'am Ivana, What name are you calling the baby?" She asked.

"I have no idea Milka, you know I have never discussed it with the person who fathered them. I think I will name them according to my culture," Ivana said.

"What names are you giving them according to your culture ma'am?" Milka asked.

"I will name them Mukhwana and Mukhongo, I even feel bad naming him the twins name while the other one is dead," Ivana said then bowed her head.

"Then you can change the names ma'am if those names will make you remember," Milka commented.

"I have decided to make them like that, okay when I knew that I was carrying the twins, those were the names I thought of for the first time. I wish I can replace my baby, I just wanted them to be two," Ivana said then chuckled while looking at Milka like someone who had the solution to her problems.

"Ma'am Ivana I have something to tell you, you see earlier on I had received a call from Mana Teresia she was asking me if I can ask for a leave for two months. The thing is she found a one week old baby at the gate of children home. So she was asking me togo and help her out. So......

"What is the gender of the baby?" Ivana asked cutting her off.

"It's a boy," Milka replied.

"Okay, can you do me a favour? Ask Mama Teresia if I can adapt the child. If she agrees ask her the requirements for adaption," Ivana said happily.

"Are you serious Ma'am? Do you know that I was thinking about the same thing. I wanted to suggest that you adapt the child so that I take care of them together with yours."Milka said.

She dialed Mama Teresa's number and called, gladly she picked up on the third ring.

"Hello Milka are you coming?" That was the first thing she was asked. The baby was crying on the background but it was loud enough to hear the cry.

"It's good news Mama, my boss is asking me if it's possible for her to adapt the child. If you agree kindly tell me the requirements, she isore than ready Mama," Milka said.

"Your boss Ivana? She want to adapt the child?" She asked surprisingly. She was not expecting something like that happen. She was already tired of taking care of the baby because of her age.

"Yes mama you don't believe me, can you ask her then she is here with me," Milka said ready to hand over the mobile phone to Ivana.

"I do believe you, tell her the requirement is just simple. Is she married? Then she must be twenty five years and above, that's the only thing we need." Mama Teresia said.

"It's okay Mama, let me inform her so that she get prepared. Don't give the baby for adoption to another couple, I know my boss is serious about this.?," She said then ended the call.

She looked at Ivana who was in thoughts because she had heard about the requirements needed for adapting the child.
