The Untold Mystery Behind a Great Wealth

Mr. Eden was from a little island, in which their habitants were merely anglers and farmer. The only way in which one can come into or go out of this village was by boat or ferry. The majority of the people were very poor, as their living standard was quite bad in this village. Eden was a poor angler, living along the river coast. His only business was fish and fishing only. One evening as usual, he left his house for his job, which was fishing. Little did he know, that was the last time he is seen his wife alive. Laboring although the night, as he sailed alone fishing.

Mimi his wife was beginning to feel pains of birth labor knowing there was no one around to help her. She then tries to walk out of the house before it too late, but as she try to rush out, she kick on the little stool, fell and hit herself on the it. It was quite painful as she screams, but there was no one to help

She manages to drag herself out of the house, as she was still cliff to the ground crying of pains. She was afraid her body was all shaking. The only wish in her mind was having someone turn up to help, but it was late night, everywhere was clam and quite, with deep cool breeze blowing on as he manage to pull herself outside. Her house was a bit distance from the road, but she kept going hoping any one passing by would help her, but as she still pulling herself on the ground she felt herself getting wet, she then stop and wave her hand on herself. Knowing it was blood from her body, her heart sank at once, and she was now expecting the worst to happen. Her voice became weak as she was only moaning, unable to cry again. The cool breeze outside there did not help the matter as well, lying out there, she was unable to returned to the house, her hand were cold, her eyes dim as she was still losing blood as every second passes by.

She manages to drag herself to the roadside; there she lies as her mind wander on every thought still left in her head until the early morning hours. She knew it would take more than a miracle for her to live to see the day light. Hearing the sound of people walking down, as they were going to the river side, she left up her head slowly, by this time she was unable to see from afar, so she begin to  shout for help. Her voice was quite faint, but the two women May and Zima, who was going to the riverside to buy fish from the anglers in which the trade with heard her, but cannot recognize who she was. Zima said to the May, it like she need help; help reply the May, at this hour and in this kind of place? Let go our way. No Zima persists and then begins to walk toward her slowly, at this time her voice has gone, as she was just moaning with pains. As Zima got closer, she then recognizes she was Mimi, She screams her name as she throws away her basket and run down to her, held her tide to herself. May drops her basket and rushed toward them, hearing Mimi’s name. Oh my God, Mimi what happen to you? She asked. Stop asking question let carry her in first said Zima. Please help me, do not let me die, she said to them slowly with a weak voice, you will not die, you be fine, reply May.

They carry her into the compound, make her lied down gently in the veranda, as Zima walked into the house and returned later with clothed to cover her, so that she will be warm. They both try all they could for her to give birth, but she was so weak to push the baby. May was so afraid of losing her, but as she heard the voices of people going to the river, she then ran back to the roadside, they were all part of their trader, she told them what was going on, they all divert and rush into Eden compound. Getting there, Zima was shading tears; seen Mimi gone through what she was going through. They all gather all over her trying to help her, but still she cannot, as she was quite weak to do a thing. No, I cannot stand these; let me go and called Eden! Please do, I think he need to be here, May please hurry up, said one of the women, as May ran out of the compound, down the street toward the river bank.

At the riverside, the anglers who did arrive early, in other to sell all their catch were all wondering why the women had not turn up jet. It was very unusual, because it has never happen before and making thing worst, there was way they could find out what has happen, than to leave their boat and get into the village, but they decide to wait for a while. As they were still contemplating on what to do, May run into the shore breathing high, as she was running all along. At once they anglers knew something was wrong somewhere, but what actually happen was the still a mystery to them. May coming in, she did not said a thing to any one, as she was just looking for Eden’s boat, but as she discover that he had not jet arrive,
