When he left his boss,’ office he could not believe what he had seen. The sight of Mwiche with a baby in her arms stimulated his sweat glands such that the air conditioning had no answer to his rising temperature. Mwiche looked at Peter triumphantly and without saying a word, she walked over to him and placed the baby in his arms. She kissed the sleeping child on his forehead and slowly walked away. The baby woke up and cried. The sound of the baby crying forced Peter to come back to his senses. He had snapped out of reality. The door demarcating Peter’s office and that of his boss was not designed to withdraw any sound wave, including at this time, that which was coming from the babies cries. It took just seconds, his boss walked into his office demanding to know what was going on.
“This is my baby”, that’s all Peter could say, not wanting to draw into a long conversation over a personal matter. His boss ordered him to take the baby back to the house to its mother. He knew that in the mode Mwiche left in, anything could happen. He sensed trouble straight away. He didn’t know she had gotten pregnant in the whole affair. But he had no questioning or doubt if the child was his. The manner in the way she handled everything made him certain the child was his.
