The Woman with the Enigmatic Belly
Onlookers in the streets couldn’t help but stare at the sight before them: a frail, homeless woman, barely able to walk, clinging to walls for support. Her striking feature was her belly, grotesquely large, a stark contrast to her otherwise gaunt frame. Passersby murmured in disbelief, wondering if she was expecting multiple babies.
This woman, known as Renea, had once been the center of her family’s hopes. Three years ago, when her belly first began to swell, they eagerly anticipated the arrival of a new member, perhaps a healthy baby boy. But as her condition mysteriously worsened, her husband’s love turned to disdain, ultimately leading him to cast her out, a decision unopposed by her in-laws. Now, wandering the streets, Renea’s plight raises questions about her current state and the unfathomable journey that led her here.
