For a mother, who was just delivered of a baby, she was just too sad. The nurses were curious when Uju cried when she saw it was a girl. Of course, she knew her husband would have left the hospital in anger. Reason? This was her fourth baby and it was another girl!
She felt like a failure because she had not given him a heir. Her first-born, Abigail, 10, is in secondary school and her in-laws already sniggered at her. Though her husband did not complain, she could see that he was not happy at all.
She spent two days at the hospital and did not see her husband until she got home with the baby.
This time, he had packed her things into the guest room and said he didn’t want to be disturbed with the cry of her daughter! Her husband, Mr Uche, hurled abuses at her and the children. He cursed the day he met her and kept asking why he married from her family.
