Ayi

I awoke to loud and obnoxious screams, the screams of what seemed to be an infant, the crying and screaming although faint and weak, still dominating every other sound in my surroundings.

I attempted to lift my head but to no avail, " Do I have to struggle in this life too c'monnnn!" I groaned to myself.

Just then, V made her presence known "Raya I have transported your soul to this freshly retired corpse, you are two month old Ayi as of the present. Ayi was abandoned by her parents."

I would've rolled my eyes if I had the ability to. "V are you trying to make my time here as difficult as possible? I mean an abandoned child of all people? Who would even abandon a baby?"

V responded mockingly "Who would even abando... Let me show you."

I was met with darkness for what seemed to be the third time in a few minutes.

I heard a woman screaming in pain or maybe anger while another woman yelled "JUST ONE MORE PUSH!" There was an abrupt silence and then the cry of an infant, in what seemed to be a first person view there was a burst of light, I , or in other words the infant, was thrown over a middle aged ladies' arm and slapped firmly on the back.

I was then wrapped in a rag and placed on another woman, drenched in sweat and tears, she looked me in my eyes and whispered through her tears "Ayi, Welcome home Ayi." The woman hugged me tightly in a warm loving embrace before I was ripped out of the memory of Ayi.

V swooned "Ah yes, life, what a beautiful thing it is, it would be a shame if it was taken away." was the last thing I heard before I was sucked into another memory.

I opened my eyes to see Ayi's mother looking down at me sadly as she placed her ****** into my mouth.

The same lady who assisted with Ayi's birth was talking to her mother. "I'm sorry miss,, but there's nothing I can do about your problem, but I can advise you not to become attached to the child because there is a 100% chance of fatality for her if she doesn't drink any milk"

Ayi's mother cut her off in a booming voice "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN ADVISE ME NOT TO GET ATTACHED!?THIS IS MY BABY YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!! ARE THERE NOT ANY FOODS OR HERBS ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE MY MILK WITH!!!??

The woman shook her head solemnly whilst looking at the floor.

Ayi's mother looked down at her baby, face covered in tears, met with the loving smile of her flesh and blood.

"Don't worry Ayi, mummy will never leave you, your suffering is my suffering and your pain is my pain, but if the heavens yern for a new angel, who am I to defy them?"

Ayi's mother wiped her tears away and walked out of the small hut where she was talking to the woman.

V once again pitched in "Life and death, there really isn't much difference some are happy to bring life into the world and some are unhappy, some are unhappy when a person dies some are happy, the only difference is one particular emotion and that is love."

I muttered under my breath "I'm getting tired of these damn analogues."

V replied "Believe it or not Raya I can hear you."

I scoffed as V sent me off into another memory.
