On a big rock beside the mwe river, sitting ever so graceful with he legs digged in the river Eboti is lost in her own thoughts.
Her mind is drifted back to her childhood.
It feels just yesterday her Ma was telling her beautiful stories of how her and her pa have been married for 2 years plus with no child. She could still see vividly the spark in her Ma's eyes when she told her how overjoyed she was to fine out about her pregnancy.
She had woken up that morning when the sun was already on the horizon and she wondered why she woke up so late. She normally would have been done with her morning chores but she was still in bed and finding difficulty leaving it. With all rationality she woke up from bed. Walking out of the house she felt so weak and tired. With lazy steps she cleaned herself and decided to sweep the house. As she to the broom she felt the ground underneath her sway and she lost balance but before she could hit the group her husband's arms where already around her and he swept her off her feet's then said "Asek you should be more careful, if I hadn't come just now I wonder what would have happen to you." he said then look at her beautiful face which appear rather weak and dull than usual "Why do you look so tired, didn't you rest well. Am guessing you just woke up and look the sun is already at the horizon which means you slept in, so why are you so weak" he asked. He put her down and before he could say another word his eyes travel to her body and they sparkle with what they saw. His wife was naturally endowed with beauty but at this moment to him she was glowing more to which the sun was reflecting on her beautiful brown skin. To him she appears Fuller than usual. Her curves where more visible and so tempting and without knowing his hands were already caressing her hips.
With wide eyes Asek spoke "1. kain what are you doing, it's morning and... and people may be passing what if they see you caressing my hips like this" she said with a shy voice.
Regaining his Senses Ozu quickly took off his hands from her hips and said " am sorry my wife but why are you looking so beautiful today, you look so full and dazzling, your breast and hips are calling me, I know I did a great job last night but it's not enough to make you look this much today. Tell me y are you looking this attractive?" he asked walking closer to her.
Asek turned her head to look at her hips and examined herself before speaking "Kain I don't know why you see me Fuller but surely it's my 2. red month" she paused for a while then said "now that I think of it I didn't see my red month last month, I thought maybe it skipped but if the case it was suppose to be early this month but the month is almost ending and....."
before she could finish her husband said happily "your pregnant" while enveloping her in his embrace "your definitely pregnant"
