THE LIFE OF MY KID

THE LIFE OF MY KID David looked at his girlfriend who was counting the money that was on their dilapidated table, a table that had lost its natural color, a boyfriend who lived with her as a wife without any criteria. The woman got the full amount of money, she told David "There are seven hundred and fifty left dear" David's head was burning with thoughts he did not know what to do at that moment to get the money to spend and the money he will spend on the delivery services for his girlfriend. His wife was nine months pregnant, they relied on any day she could give birth. He thought of asking for help from relatives but believed he could not be helped because he was tired of asking for money. He was smelling debt. On the side of his wife known as Winnie there was no way they could use it to get their help, because that side did not at all agree with David to live with their child, so they scolded their son and chased him away telling him not to turn his head back to look at them. David bowed his head like a lawmaker and then lifted it, he already had an answer for what he had to do. He told Winnie "Let me go out and go on the street to make money, money must be found because any day you can get labor pains" It was a good statement in her boyfriend's ears but it still gave her enough suspicion and shock. He had to ask for more clarification "Where are you going to make money?" David failed to respond to his girlfriend, he believed telling her what he was thinking in his mind he should get some strong opposition from Winnie. He swore not to tell you at all. Winnie's question was very significant because David had no job after being fired from his job as a security guard at a Chinese construction company. David turned his head and said to his girlfriend "If you give birth to my son you will call him my name, if he is a girl you will call him by your name or the name of my late mother. You will choose between those names." David's statement was hard to understand in his girlfriend's head. He asked himself several questions in his mind. Does he want to escape me and leave me alone? He wants to kill himself? What is he thinking in his head? He certainly missed the answers to all the questions. When he raised his head to ask his questions but was unlucky to see David, David had already left the house. Fear gripped Winnie, thoughts doubled in her head. The pain of childbirth took its place. She began to cry bitterly, a cry that managed to reach the ears of David who was outside wearing shoes ready to leave. He hurried back inside and found his girlfriend complaining bitterly. His eyes went wide to see David. He carried his girlfriend in his arms up to the road, luck was on his side because he managed to spot the bajaji and stop it. Quickly in a trembling voice he told the bajaji driver "Take us to Maweni hospital immediately" When the driver saw Winnie's condition and the urgency of the situation, he believed that this was where the money would come from. He spoke "You will give me ten thousand my brother" David didn't have time to talk to the driver, he picked up his girlfriend and then got on. Even though he did not understand what the driver had told him, his mind was on the pain he was experiencing. The journey began at a fast pace because David was pressuring the bajaji driver to save his girlfriend's life. Arriving at the hospital, Winnie was picked up by nurses and rushed to the wardnumber one, a special ward for reproductive issues. David remained with the bajaji holder. He left it in his pocket as someone looking for money but had no money in his pocket. He remembered that even the seven hundred and fifty savings left in the room he had planned, the mind set on fire. He looked at the driver of the bajaji and then asked him How many shillings did you say? " The driver was not at all interested in the question, believing it would be a nuisance because he witnessed how David struggled to clean his pockets without finding anything. He replied angrily "Ten thousand relatives" David was shocked as someone who saw or told something strange or terrifying. He flatly refused, telling the driver that he could not pay her the same amount, which he usually pays two to three thousand. A dispute arose. As the argument continued, one of the nurses who received Winnie arrived at the scene and reassured them with kind words. When they had calmed down he asked David "Of course you were the one who came with that bitter sister in a red dress?" David responded quickly with a tentmaking voice from his interactions with the bajaji driver "Yes my sister, you are not wrong" Now it was the nurse's turn to speak but she hesitated a bit, staring at the frightened David as well as the curiosity of wanting to know what was going on. The nurse spoke up "The woman you brought in has a small delivery method, which is not good for someone who needs to give birth normally. Doctors and nurses are there to try the possibility but anything can
