What is wrong with me, Mama?”

Wiping the tears from her face, I tried to calm my daughter. “It is normal—”

She buried her face in my chest. “It is not! Mary already carries Maut’s baby, and he took her only two months past. Bayani took me four months ago. Why does his child not grow in me?”

“Be at peace, Chesa. When it is right, it will happen.”

“But I heard him talking—orders came for them to prepare to leave.” She cried harder and louder. “He is going to leave me and with no child. What will I do? No man will have me after I have been taken by an outsider.”

I gripped her face in my hands. “He is leaving? When did you hear this?”

“Last night. He said the order came. Bayani was very angry.” Her dark eyes darted over my face, as if searching for me to tell her this was all not true. “If he was angry, it means he has to leave. You know those orders must be obeyed just as everyone does what Father tells us to do.”

On my feet, I grabbed her hand. “Come, we must talk to the chief.”
