THE ADVENTURE OF BILIKI THE PEPPER SELLER EPISODE 2



On getting home she met her husband gasping for breath on the floor, she quickly dropped her child on the couch dashing out to call out for the attention of neighbors "The striveness of motherhood" They rushed to the scene and helped her to carry him to a woman who is an expert in finding solution to any type of ailments.
After few minutes, Baba Biliki gave up the ghost! Oh what a great loss for the family, the woman concluded. On hearing this, she fainted on the spot and quickly jumped up again .Somebody should talk to me! please tell me something is it true that my husband is dead? Noooo! this can't be true ! she was weeping profusely with her child on her back, she looks really unkempt, seems she has not been herself lately .Madam you have to take heart,God will suppress your loads, A man tried to console her.Where would I start from?who would take care of the innocent child? There is no hope anywhere ,oh my goodness  why did I came to this world in the first instance!? my companion is dead, what's left?! I'll rather commit suicide than to remain in this unfriendly world, she wiped her  tears with her palm. 
  The man was standing by her side with his face full of pity, as a man whom he is, he summoned up his courage to talk to her. Madam we're  pencil in the hand of the creator ,He writes about us the way he wants. She replier dramatically, That's the point! everything he wrote about me is full of evil and sorrow , I have not for one day know happiness in my whole life ,Look at that man lying helplessly over there ,that's  my husband (sobs) he's gone for good! she wailed with tears rolling down her face like water ,  he's dead oh Lord why me then she fell to her feet. The man replied. God doesn't write evil nor sorrow ,Everything about him is of Good, A leaf will never fall from the tree without the knowledge of the creator (sigh) But this is too much for me to bear, God help me . she walked out tiredly, They buried her husband and she returned to the hut with her child. LIFE BEGINS
