It was warm inside but cold outside, maybe it was her but it was getting hot as beads of sweat cascaded down her forehead, she found her hands automatically go to her protruded belly as she felt a sharp jolt of pain, it was a kick from one of her twins.
But she ignored it as she cherished the breeze that blew gently on her face, that's when she saw a baby dove beneath the mango tree in the garden, she stood up with great difficulty from the wheel chair and carefully walked to the tree, she bent over to carry the baby bird, she took hold of it and gently petted it.
She was on her way to the back door as the garden was located in the backyard when she felt some liquid trickling down her legs and pooling on the soft line green grass carpet, she started panicking a little then remembered that it was almost her E.D.D date.
She was in her third trimester of pregnancy and was pushed around in a wheel chair because she was too adamant about going back to the hellhole called a hospital after having alamin.
A week or so ago the doctors told her she had to be admitted, but she refused and threw a tantrum about it and said ' when I was in the hospital to deliver Al-amin I thought I was dying but Allah spared me, but now am not sure I want to give birth to the twins at a hospital, and it's final!!' she always said when approached about the issue of going to the hospital.
Even when going for Ante Natal check up, but she threatened to commit suicide if they pressurised her, so they had her Ante Natal check up at home to avoid the execution of the threat.
Then she felt a kick then another then she couldn't take it and let out a scream filled with pain and anguish.
The first person to hear her scream was Alamin, he panicked when he saw her clutching onto her big belly then quickly dialled his father's number on the kitchen landline, he wasn't sure it was going to work because it was there for almost ten years.
His father picked when the call was about to cut, Alamin had always been scared of his dad, even though there was no reason to be afraid of him, "He..he.hello Abba" said Alamin stammering a bit.
"Hello what's wrong Alamin you sound scared and who is screaming there?" Abba said sounding a bit tired "Abba umma is the one screaming and there is water all over, please come and help her, please Abba!" Alamin said crying.
Abba realised what was going on and cut the call.
