THE BROODER

EPISODE 8

THE BROODER

8.

**ASHLEY**

I didn't feel connected with this pregnancy. I also like the fact that I don't have any pregnancy cravings or morning sickness. I am approaching my second semester and I can't wait to be done with this brooding already.

The situation at the factory was still the same even worse. Lesedi has just entered her third semester. She is very agitated this days. She has been on every brooder's bad book recently. We all can't wait for her give birth.

I am in Doctor Kashmir's office for my normal scans and vitamins. He went to his inner chambers and came back with a bag.

Doctor Kashmir: Have this. Munch on them regularly. If the fruits finish, you can tell me right away.

I opened the bag right away and it's all kinds of fruits and provisions...

" Why am I the only brooder given fruits and all these other provisions while my fellow brooders are not?"

Doctor Kashmir: Let's just say you are the special one and my favourite too.

Pervert! I hope it's not what I think? I don't want this Indian dog on my case.

" I..I.. can't take it. I do..."

Doctor Kashmir: you must take it my dear. It is an order from above. The client wants an healthy child. You can go back to the room now. Remember to always rest and take your vitamins. It's for your health benefit too.

Coming out from the clinic, I could see every brooder looking at me and the bag. They are probably wondering what's in the bag. I opened the room door and Lesedi was inside sleeping.

Lesedi: what's in the bag Ash?

And she's up snatching the bag from me.

Lesedi: fruits wow! Wait wait is this chips? And chocolate and biscuits? Really? How?

She brought out all the contents of the bag.

" Doctor Kashmir gave it all to me."

Lesedi: why's that so? Nevermind, I'll go get mine. It seems like things are going to be better soon. Let me run along.

And off she went...

She didn't even pack up all she scattered over the place. Lesedi has also been untidy since she started brooding.

The door opened and Amara walked inside, she saw the edibles as I packed them back.

Amara: How did you get these ?

" Doctor Kashmir gave them to me"

Amara: oh dear! Can I please have a chocolate?

" Yes please, you can take anything you want." The chocolate bar were five but she still took only one.

Amara: hmmmm, yummy. It's been ages I tasted this beauty.

" Yeah same here."

Amara : so what's the story?

" What?"

Amara: i mean, why did our sweet Indian gift you these beauties?

" Really? Sweet Indian? That's gross!"

Amara : I bet he fell hard for you. There's nothing gross about some Indian little pens. The size doesn't matter, it's the actions that speaks.

It not a rumour that Doctor Kashmir has slept with some brooders. He doesn't force himself. He's quite sentimental. But the thing is, his pen size has been rumoured to be very little. He was furious when he heard it from loud Sandi and he got very pissed and ordered a thorough torture of Sandi. Sandi wept for days. Her body was covered in bruises and scars. Doctor Kashmir also changed in attitude. He began rude and inconsiderate. But, he's still better than doctor Segundo in his profession.

" It's not him, please. He said the client wants an healthy child so it is an order from above."

Amara: ooooohhhh, and here I thought we've scored ourselves a meal ticket. Too bad he's not the one.

We turned as the door bangs.

Lesedi: He said I should get out and his office and should never visit unless I'm needed. That Indian prick! I hate him! I hate this place. I hate everyone here.

Amara: we love you too!

Lesedi: so you're his new toy? And you know that yet you made me disgrace myself to that Indian prick! You are just like them here, a manipulative b***h and just so you know, your man has a small d**k. He'll never satisfy you. He can only buy you presents over s****l frustrations. You two can go f**k yourselves! Losers! Nx!

I think the whole factory already know this nonsense spat. It will spread like wildfire that I'm sleeping with the Indian and they'll dispose me the more.

Amara: oh please Lesedi, she's not the cause of your sufferings right now so don't chew her head off.

" And I don't have anything to do with Doctor Kashmir. He gave me this because it's order from above, the boss."

Lesedi: keep deceiving yourself! What's so special about your ugly melanic self? What's so special about...

Amara: That is it Lesedi! It is enough. I will not sit here and allow you insult the poor child over a petty issue like this. It is not her fault that you are here. It is not anybody's fault that we're called brooders and it's not her fault that this all happened so please behave.

Lesedi: I didn't mention your name in this issue, Nigerian hobo girl!

Amara: Really? That's it! You're going back to your room. This arrangement will not work anymore so please pack up and get out of this room.

" No Amara, it hasn't gotten to this. You know it's the hormones. She didn't mean it all."

Lesedi was throwing all her belongings in her box.

Lesedi: I meant it! And I'm leaving this ugly room of yours. Hypocrites!

She continued packing her things. Her mug broke as she roughly threw things around.

Amara: Hallelujah! Praise the lord, all the time. It's about time.

" Amara, that's not right. Stop it and Lesedi stop packing "

She didn't stop neither did she stop cussing me . She left the door wide open as she went back to her former room which is empty. She'll be staying alone and I don't like it. I made a mental note to visit her later when she might have calmed down. I'll her a nice talk with her and she'll be back here again.

All these spat gave me a migraine and I feel dizzy.
