There was a rumor that a certain married woman had a secret lover. Some people one day tipped the husband. On this day she paid an excuse to her husband that she was going to fetch firewood in the near bush. Through the rumor and tipping of people the husband followed her anonymously. The woman met her secret lover according to their agreement. When they were meeting, her husband was hiding and witnessing whatever was happening. They both took off their clothes. The woman’s husband moved towards where they hid. The baby was laid alongside them. When they were found, the woman rushed leaving the man caught by her husband. When the woman was escaping, she left the baby on the spot. The baby was just crying while the husband and the other man were fighting. After fighting (the thief rush), the man took his baby back home from the bush. It was so sad. I went with my friend to hear the settling of the matter at the village headman. The cried for unfaithful woman and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases as well Aids pandemic. It was so shameful because many people gathered at the village headman. Children were singing teasing and mocking songs for unfaithful woman.
My friend’s baby admitted at the hospital. My wife went to Chikwawa district hospital to cheer Alfred’s wife whose baby was diagnosed pneumonia. My wife prepared some food for her. “How is the baby, is there any progress?” I asked my wife. She told me that there was quite changes and confirmed that the baby would get well soon. After taking supper, I went to meet Alfred at his house. We chatted up to 9pm before gong to bed.
