MY PRĂGNANT WiFE
EPISODE 1
It is a Monday evening. My seven months pregnañt wife has just returned from work.
She is tirĂšd from the demanding tasks of her Boss.
I advised her to resigñ from that job and pick up a government appointment.
But she would do no such thing.
After taking a little rest, she entered the kitchen to find something for the baby.
That was her first pregnancy.
I have been the one running up and down for her.
What do I even know about pregnañcies?
She was very hĂșngry and so was I.
We barely started cooking when our gas cylinder ran out of gas.
You know how pregnant women behave.
âSo you did not refill this cylinder, Emmy?â she asked with so much añger
I was shocked and afraid
âI did not know it was remaining smallâ, I answered.
âSo you mean you have not been checking this gaĂșge?â she asked pointing at the gauge on the cylinder
At that point her eyes were reddish
âEmmy I donât like the way you are stressing me in this houseâ
âBut it was not like this from the beginning of our marriage. I think it is the pregnancy that is stressing you. And the job too. I think you have to resigñ and take up an appointment with the government.â
âDonât provoke me the more, Emmy. Go and refill this cylinder before the gas station is closed.â
I wanted to fake a smile when she felt a sharp pain and shouted;
âOh my God! God have mercyâ
She held her tummy in anguish and reached out to the freezer for support.
I rushed to help her, but she pushed me away.
âGo and refill the cylinder, I am hungryâ
I remembered she did not have appetite to eat in the morning.
So I rushed to the bedroom to get my shirt
I returned to the kitchen to carry the cylinder.
My wife was not her normal self
I could feel her pains too
Then I started thinking if it was labor.
But the pregnancy was just seven months
Hence, I rolled out the thought of labor
I relaxed my mind.
Gave her a perk and assured her she will be alright.
To be continue.......
