TOO FAR TO REACH 29

 

TOO FAR TO REACH 29

Pumulo had a great time taking pictures and enjoying herself at the luxury seafood restaurant, she was so excited about the ambience of the place that she could not help but bug Jeff to take more pictures.  

“honey, make sure you take very good shots because I need to flaunt them on my Instagram” Pumulo said.

Jeff was not in opposition, he was actually excited to see her make every pose and he cheered her own. One thing evident about their union was that they got quite a lot of stares, many people find their relationship interesting. It was no surprise that such an interracial marriage was not common to see. 

“Baby enough.. eat your food.. it will get cold” Jeff insisted.

Pumulo finally settled to enjoy her meal but Jeff did not stop taking pictures of her. In most pictures Pumulo flaunted her ring.

“My love..” Jeff called out to pumulo who was suddenly hurried in thought as she stared at her food.

“Is everything okay?” he asked.

Pumulo smiled as she played with her pasta using a folk.

“I am okay.. it is all just so strange hey.. life happens in ways we can not imagine” she said.

“yes and it is for the better… we shall be happy and enjoy it all… very soon we will be able to live in Zambia and enjoy our family.. I can not wait to meet our babies. Honey I have great plans for us you have no idea”

PUMULO’S POV

I don’t know what was more exciting, the fact that i had the best husband on the planet or the fact that I was not going to lose any sleep worrying about my future… it was still the same thing right? Well I was blessed. That day alone we spent our day by the nearby beach taking a walk and enjoying the view. I was so happy that in this life there was no other person who could make me feel this way. If there’s anything I was right about in life,  it was this right here.. Jeff… he was my rock.

While at the beach, we met a photographer who was taking pictures of another couple that was on honeymoon. Jeff took the initiative to ask if we could be part of the day and they were excited to have us on board. I needed a change of clothes and so I rushed to my room while everyone waited. However, there was something I had noticed throughout the day that was getting me worked out, I could not understand exactly why but I figured it was just exhaustion and maybe I was getting heavy. I was feeling quite restless and I felt a little sharp pain which was shooting from my belly to my back. It was not consistent but I felt it when I tried to walk fast or bend. I ignored it the entire morning. It was not bad really.

My hotel room was upstairs so I quickly took the elevator and as it begun going up I felt the sharp pain aggravating. I was thinking of taking a sit immediately I got to my room and I did. It wasn’t long before the pain disappeared. I was relaxed and tried to force myself to do some strenuous movements just to b sure but the pain was completely gone. I figured it was fatigue and opted to ignore it all together. I quickly changed into a beautiful flowy dress and headed out , all was well and Jeff was excited to see me and stated he was worried that he let me go alone.

The photo shoot was amazing, different poses and different styles. It was really exciting.

“Honey.. I want to take some shot while I am walking near the water.. you know I just want the water view..” I insisted.

The photographer agreed and so did Jeff. I knelt to do a a different kind of pose but a stabbing pain suddenly shot from my back to my tummy, I screamed as I held my belly. Jeff quickly can to my rescue and he lifted me up, I was in so much pain that Jeff rushing to the car park felt like eternity.  I remember feeling life something was detaching from me.

“My babies” I cried

“Slow deep breaths hone.. don’t panic. I love you” Jeff said calmly

Blood started oozing from my thighs, and my white dress was stained. Jeff was worried I could see but he kept calm. I suddenly passed out and the next thing I heard was my aunty talking. They had no idea I had regained consciousness. A man who I believed was a doctor explained to aunty that I would be cleaned the moment I gained consciousness. I had lost my babies.
