Days later, it's a normal morning, it's a little windy, although there's moisture in the air.
TOIRE is fishing in the main river, not far from your home, upstream.
KEKI is less than a month away from giving birth, she takes care of going from time to time to the garden to pick vegetables, even though TOIRE tries to do it in the evenings.
KEKI, seeing that he was missing some potatoes and tomatoes for his stew, takes one of the baskets.
She knows that TOIRE will come until the afternoon and she wants to have the food made for when he arrives.
Otherwise, it will be done at night very soon.
When leaving, KEKI notices a lot of humidity in the air, the wind has raged, it is dragging the clouds towards this region, it is sure that a storm is approaching, it hopes that it does not rain too much, when that happens, the river grows a lot and there is some flooding in the village that is downstream.
KEKI heads to the garden, she thinks of TOIRE, she wants him to come home soon.
KEKI is inside the garden, she crocloggles down a couple of times and picks some tomatoes, shoves herself into a pile of soil to dig and get the potatoes out of the ground.
KEKI thinks about what he will struggle to get up, it is not easy with such a large belly.
Maybe crawl to the fence, it's close.
KEKI takes out the potatoes, she thinks the broth will suit TOIRE because, the weather is somewhat cool, it is likely to arrive soaked and cold.
KEKI, tries to get up, hears some barking coming towards his direction, perhaps one of the dogs (large) of the village, which is very close has been attracted for some reason.
KEKI crawls towards the fence and helps himself by leaning on himself to get up.
As he exits the fence of the orchard, he can see the dog coming in his direction.
KEKI walks away from the fence to return home, notices the restless dog, as if chasing something.
Suddenly, she feels something cross between her feet, it comes with such force that, by the weight of her belly, she loses her balance, staggers, then, feels something large ramming her from behind and she falls seated.
She sees how the dog continues her crazy race chasing a squirrel, she understands that it was the dog that made her fall.
A stabbing pain sticks in her lower belly.
Then, a pain that starts from the front of her belly runs down both sides to her lower back, sticking there.
KEKI, frightened, knows that this is very bad.
She asks her baby to wait, it's not yet time.
Suddenly, a noise resembling a drowned whistle is heard, instantly she feels very wet under her clothes between her legs, she immediately touches the area, as she brings her fingers closer to a place visible to her eyes, she can see that it is something transparent with blood.
The fountain has been broken.
Another lapse of pain attacks her.
KEKI, feels as if the pain bounces off her head, her eyesight is distorted and a dizziness takes over her from this moment on.
KEKI speaks again to her baby.
He asks her not to rush to be born in the garden, he also asks her not to heal her.
The pain is stabbing, almost takes your breath away, holding the urge to scream, KEKI endures the pain to pass.
Then, with the breath between cut and the lips dry, KEKI tries to get up, looks towards the fence, now it seems so far away.
KEKI feels desolate.
She thinks of TOIRE, hopefully she will return soon.
KEKI tries to get up, but, another pain that walks from the belly to his back prevents him from doing so.
He's sweating a lot.
She knows she won't be able to get up, so she starts crawling into the house as fast as she can, only stops moving forward when the pain attacks her.
Little by little she manages to get to the house, she grabs hold of the door frame. He concentrates his strength to get up, at that moment, another spasm causes him to double the pain at the entrance.
Try not to scream, they are becoming more frequent and with more intensity.
KEKI, with tears in her eyes, speaks to her baby, asks her to be calm.
Mom is here.
She will bring it into the world.
When KEKI manages to sit in a chair, she is attacked by another of the spasms, who squeals out of her lament.
KEKI thinks about how pathetic she is in that moment, promises to be strong.
With a lot of work, he gets up using himself from the wall to get to the kitchen.
Giving a scream drowned out by the effort.
On the river, TOIRE is preparing to return home, there has been good fishing, but, the weather does not please him, it will rain, it will rain a lot.
TOIRE looks at the sky closely, you can tell that it's not just rain, a storm is forming.
It has started to rain large drops, in a few minutes, TOIRE packed its cargo, the rain drops abundantly.
TOIRE hastens the pace. In the house, KEKI is in the kitchen, sitting in a chair by the stove.
She has a tub with water, she tucks into a medium pot, she feels her hands tremble, the pot falls into the tub, KEKI gets up so she can take it again, she almost manages to take it out, when, she gives her another spasm that makes her bend, she touches the belly with one of her hands, asks for tranquility to her baby , asks her to remain serene, there is little left.
KEKI abe that he will not be able to get the pot out of the tub, he knows he has little time.
Hold the spasm, letting out a sound like a cat's squeal.
It has turned red and is still sweating cold.
KEKI, feels how her daughter's healing power causes her great physical pain, as if thousands of needles are stuck in her body.
KEKI, lets out a cry of despair, asks his daughter to calm down, begs him to stop healing her, hurts her.
Then, for a while, the power that the baby exercised in her mother, is ceasing, KEKI had struggled to resist the pain, so, she had strained her body, causing blood to gush again from her leg.
As soon as he can move, KEKI brings towels and blankets to the bed and starts to settle into the bed.
He is shaking with cold and sweating profusely.
He begins to make it difficult to breathe as he has a very fast heart.
She hadn't turned to see on the floor since she arrived, as I sat down, I can see that there is blood watered everywhere she was walking.
KEKI thinks that, in other circumstances... but certainly in the past, when he did not know the love that TOIRE showed him, he would not have cared about another life if he could sacrifice it to stay alive, to fulfill his purpose.
Now, she will be a mother, it is not a luxury that a mother can afford.
KEKI has lay down on the bed.
The birth of her daughter is imminent, TOIRE, had prepared hard to help her in childbirth, but, she is not.
KEKI has chills.
As he can, he entangles the blankets between his feet.
She mentally prepares to give birth alone.
