Eight months pregnant. Day 5 without food. I had N50.

Pregnancy was like eight months plus. This was the fifth day I had not eaten. Wait, sorry, say that again. Fifth day I had not eaten. I had only been able to drink water. But my fear wasn't even me. My fear was Trinity. No, the baby, she was, she was calm. She knew when there was food and when there was no food, funny enough. My problem was Trinity because what I had for her would not take her past breakfast the next day. I didn't have a phone. There's a woman in my church that I call Mommy. She sells bags of rice and garri in Mile 12. I live inside the corridor. What I had on me was 50 Naira. 50 Naira would take me from my house to the bus stop. It will not take me from the bus stop to my 12. To take me from my gate to my 12. My neighbor had a car, but he had not used that car for four months. I'm going somewhere. I knelt down and I told God, if it is Mommy my 12 you will use for me this period, let my neighbor that has not moved his car for four months, for whatever reason, use his car to go to work tomorrow because he works at Ketu. So I'll follow him, I'll stop at my 12. Olive, I couldn't sleep. Hunger now. So 5:30 AM, my neighbor starts his car. I'm just like a lightbulb moment. Something I prayed about yesterday has happened. I remember going out to him. Are you going to work? He said yes. I said, please, let me follow you and stop at my 12. He's like, ah, you have big. That means you want to stop up or you will soon give birth. I said, yes. Um, we got to my 12. Mind you, I didn't have a phone for a whole year, so I didn't have a phone during this period. I get to Mommy my 12 shop. It was her sales girl that was there at the time. So she's like, have you called Madam? I said, no, I've not called. I don't have a phone. Can you help me call her? So she calls her and I get on the phone with her. Mommy and she's like, Joy, what's going on? I'm like, Mommy, I've not eaten for five days and I passed out. Um, that was the last thing I remember. So the next thing I remembered was hearing market women, ah, you know, those that were pouring me water, those that were trying to force milk down my throat like, you know. And the sales girl is scared like, she said she has not eaten for five days. Ah, how, you know? This woman rushes out of her house. She didn't even have a bath. She came to the shop. Joy, what's going on? Now, it was at the point where she was coming to the shop that she called him. And he's like, ah, I didn't even know she's not at home.
