                  CHAPTER SIX                 Mother's Duty "Yes, don't worry Madam, I won't disappoint you, I will meet you by 6:30am, yes, in the saloon of course, you will get to your interview location on time. You should just ensure that you get to the saloon on time. Alright, do have a goodnight rest, bye". Mother said this to her customer on phone, the eve of the day it all started. The following day, just like mother had promised, she left the house, very early in the morning but prior to the time she left, she had an argument with Father.

Little do I know that there is more to what I had imagined and classified simple. I had a change of mind during the labour, when the agony, the pain and the river of tears could not be avoided. The mid wives kept encouraging me, they kept keeping my hopes high about the great joy I am about to receive. Their words in relation to my pang brought the anticipation of this little thing you are holding. Therefore Mother, please, let me keep this child for she is a present to me".
