The Drunken Mistake

Chapter 12 - Helping hand

Kiaraa's POV

It was a beautiful morning I came to the small garden and started watering the flower plants while singing to my baby... I was having a happy time when I found someone staring at me while smiling...

It was an old lady... Her eyes were filled with kindness and adoration. I smiled at her.

She signed me to come. And I went to her...

"I've been watching you singing to your baby every morning young lady. You have such a charming voice." She said, and I smiled at her. And she gave me a bag of fruits and said, "Here, have a taste. I plucked them from my garden just for you."

I thanked her. She's such a nice person. But her next question made me upset as hell.

"I see you every day but never seen your husband. Is he abroad?"

I paused for a moment. I didn't know what to say. I was almost in tears, "I-i I l-live he-" The old lady understood that I was upset. And she held my hands before I could say anything.

"It's okay... Let me know if you need anything alright? My doors are always open for you." She said, patted my shoulder and left.

I wonder what she thought about my husband... Actually, I don't have one.

Our bond grew day by day and she became a mother to me. She took care of me and my baby. She told me that she was a retired doctor and she would help me with the delivery as I didn't want to give birth in public due to the secret plan I had.

Kiaraa's POV

It was a fine day and I went to water the plants in the morning... It's been 9.5 months since I was pregnant. And it's a baby girl I'm having. I'm glad that I'm so close to the end of this journey.

"Kiaraa I'm heading to the supermarket to buy some fruits. Do you want anything else?" I heard aunt calling me. "Aunt, can you buy some chicken or fish? I guess my baby needs some protein." I said, smiling.

"I think she had enough protein thanks to her mama's greediness towards meat. (tease) Alright, I'll bring some. I'm going to the town anyways"

"What? Why?" I asked.

"I need money to buy these silly. And my son has transferred money to the bank. I'm going to get them. I guess he won't be coming home for this vacation." She said and left.

Yes, she has a son who is serving in the military. (Which means, he's a soldier)

While I was watering the plants I felt a sudden pain in my belly. What was that?? I was scared and went inside the house stopping all the work I've been doing.

It was getting harder and harder to bear. I was in the living room when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I felt something dripping out of me...
