Abandoned

Synopsis!

.

.

Benny sat on the hospital bed with her back against the wall. Her babies were lying beside her, calm and quiet. Her eyes were swollen from crying. Every morning, she woke up with the same question in her head: "Why did Ayo leave me like this?" She hadn't eaten anything since the previous day, and there was no one to help her. Nurses passed by her room and looked at her with pity, but nobody said anything. The N780,000 hospital bill was still hanging on her head like a curse, and there was no sign of Ayo anywhere.

Everyone in Alagbado knew Ayo. Not because he had a big shop or drove a car, but because of how poor he was. He had no job, no business, and no clear source of income. People called him "that poor man." Nobody even remembered his name.
