Our Angel, Eva
I was at my aunt’s doorstep. She had told me that a surprise awaited me. I couldn’t wait longer. She opened the door. I was in no mood for a welcome drink or snacks. My aunt took me upstairs. When she opened the door of my cousin’s room, my cousin stood in front of me with a baby in her arms. For some time, I couldn’t understand anything. My cousin and my aunt laughed and pointing at the baby said that she was the new joy and hope of the family. I was scared to touch or take the tiny bundle of softness in my arms. It was barely 20 days old.
I was angry with my cousin for she had not shared such a big news with me. As soon as I heard about the pains and risks she had gone through, I felt sorry for her. But such a joy the baby was that all our discussions were veered around and about it. I couldn’t stop kissing its small cushioned feet. Our angel had wisps of thin brown hair all over its shiny polished head. Once in a while, it looked at me with its pearly eyes. I think God makes his presence felt through infants. Its babble was precious to us. Even for a minute, we could not think of anything but our baby, our angel, Eva
