"P-please come in. I could only offer you tea and some rice cakes if that's okay. 😊"
The pregnant lady struggled to open a seemingly broken door that I needed to quickly assist her. A little embarassed, she gushed;
"Appa wasn't able to fix it before he left for the other island. I apologize for the inconvenience."
I slightly nodded my head and focused my attention on the interior of the tiny house that is on the brink of falling apart. Uneven wood tiles... the wall papers already faded...a few broken windows. Despite the small house's pathetic state, everything is clean and organized. However...for a pregnant woman like her it's pretty uncomfortable.
I didn't wait for her to offer me a cushion to seat on, I carefully paced to the tiny table beside a widely opened window and squatted on the floor. She gently placed a plate of colorful rice cakes in front of me. A cup and opened a small handy thermostat to which I realized is filled with warm tea. She poured me a cup and I bowed in thanks before sipping from the it.
"Thank you for taking me here safely."
She muttered while gently rubbing her womb.
"No problem. I'm sure your parents feel worried about you going around alone."
She smiled and looked at the window;
"My mother is at another village with my grandparents. She's working as a seamstress there. I'm completely fine here sir."
In disbelief, I set my cup aside;
"Are you telling me you're alone here?!"
As if my question is something normal, she simply nodded her head. In awe, I stared at her and gave the broken door a quick glance.
"Do you... have tools that I can use to fix the door."
Surprised, she quickly wave her hands opposingly and with a wry smile;
"Oh no don't bother sir, it's okay...I'm safe here. People won't bother coming here anyway at night."
"And how sure are you? I suppose you have post lights outside that can illuminate the house. It feels safer that way."
She timidly looked away and shook her head.
"This house's electricity has been disconnected a long time ago."
I looked around and noted candle and gas lamps.
"Then how in the world can you use your phone??"
She looked at me;
"I ask some neighbors if they can allow me to charge my phone since its my only way to contact my parents."
I lingered my eyes at her womb.
"Show me the tools. I'll fix the door."
