The clack of my heels against the hard stone floor beats a drumbeat
throughout the night. Every few hours a servant comes to check on me,
offering me food or drink. Always, I deny.
If my wife can’t be comfortable, why should I?
My circuit takes me down the hallway, into the l-shape of the adjoining
corridor and then back again. Always, as I reach the halfway part of the
journey, I pass the heavy door that leads into her bedchambers. My wife.
Garai. As I pass, my shoulders tense even more. For, as I pass by, I hear the
screams. The moans. The agony in her throat.
Married only two years, Garai and I were betrothed to each other, and we
have lived happily since our wedding. A rare Kiphian woman, she is
educated, gifted at fine arts, with a kind heart and a wit that continues to
astound me. In other words, she is a rare find.
As I hear her pain through the door – a door I am forbidden to pass
through as Kipian men are banned from such things –I play out the past two
years together. The laughter, the conversations, and the hope of our life
together.
Her pregnancy was uneventful – joyous, even. We delighted in the
changes in her body, the unexpected surprises, the movement in her belly.
With each day, we became more and more excited, happily awaiting our
child.
Now, it feels like a nightmare. Was it only hours earlier, at dinner, that
we talked about our day? It was mundane, boring almost. She looked slightly
tired and told me she would soon go to bed. How I wish we could rewind to
those hours.
After she went to bed, the pain had started, and the midwives were
quickly summoned. Then began my banishment and now I walk these halls, a
frustrated and terrified man.
The night is endless, each hour mocking at me in its infinite slowness. My
legs ache, my shoulders feel like they carry the weight of the world and my
teeth clench. I feel so powerless. That’s my wife in there, dammit. How come
there is nothing I can do?
