It was a rainy day, as the sound of heavy
downpour was heard combating with the roof.
Daniel a young intelligent man who has been
married to Lucy for more than twelve years was
in his parlour thinking why he's childless for
years. "Daniel my son it has been more than
twelve years now you married Lucy, yet she
haven't given you a children" His mother said
furiously.
Daniel made her halcyon, assuring her
his wife will give her a grandchild at the
appointed time. With the sweet and calm words
that proceed from Daniels mouth, his mother
nodded in acceptance to his words. Lucy was in
the kitchen when this conversation took place,
she never uttered a word.
Daniel and Lucy, who still look young, were not
discouraged by their present predicament. They
were still prayerful to God for a child. Two years
later Lucy became pregnant and she bore a son
called Isaac.
Her mother-in-law was happy. After
three month, Lucy was traveling with Isaac to
show her mother. All commuters were visited by
gun men and ordered to drop their belongings.
Suddenly one of the criminals caught Lucy hiding
money in Isaac's diaper. He snatched Isaac from
her, removed the money and smashed him on
the high
way. Isaac's head was shattered as vehicles
climb on him. Lucy cried all through the journey.
When she got home then entire family of her
husband accused her of killing the baby, they
called her all sots of names, while others spat at
her to stops her crocodile tears. Lucy passed
through excruciating pains from the death of her
baby coupled with the insult and accusations
from her husband family.
