There will be common pregnancy symptoms that help to reinforce this idea, which can lead a woman to be absolutely certain she's expecting, for months or even years! In this case it happened for about 150 plus days.

Saka zvese zvainzwa muroora it’s Medically proven, ange asinganyeberi” Chiremba akadaro. Alois akabva ati;
“Ko nhai Doctor zvinokonzerwa neiko zvakadaro?”
"As unbelievable as it may sound, the mind is actually able to take control and prompt the body to produce believable signs of conception” Chiremba akatsanangura ndokuenderera achiti;
“In a few cases, false pregnancy may be the result of an actual physical symptom such as an ovarian tumor. A history of depression, as well as past medical issues, or past abuse, psychological problems and insecurities,

“In a few cases, false pregnancy may be the result of an actual physical symptom such as an ovarian tumor. A history of depression, as well as past medical issues, or past abuse, psychological problems and insecurities,
But I want to rule out everything in your case, because in this case; it’s simply the result of a very strong wish to be pregnant,"
Chiremba vakadaro, vakatarisa ambuya Makonese ndokuti; “Kana imimi amai at your age with experience, handiti maitoona sekuti dumbu remuroora riri kukura? Maitoona zvese zvingaite mudzimai ane nhumbu, saka zvinowanikwa.”

Monica akaramba achibvunza zvange zvaitika asi murume haana zvaakataura. Vakaenda kumashamwari avo vakandogocha, Alois achinwa doro kunge aida kuti rimuuraye, vakazodzokera kumba pave pakati nepakati pazuro nanhasi.
Pazuva rakatevera vaenzi vakaperekedzwa nadriver kumabhazi vachisiya Alois akarara nemudzimai wake, zvese vakarongedzerwa nevashandi.
Pavhiki yakatevera Alois akadzokera kwaChiremba uko akandokumbira kuita zvaaiudzwa nemachiremba over the years, have a thorough Medical examination himself. After 2 weeks he went to collect his results, Chiremba akamuti;
“Mr Makonese my friend, you have a condition called oligospermia, which is a lower-than-normal sperm count, while a complete lack of sperm in the semen is called azoospermia. A low sperm count in male lessens the possibility of fertilizing the female’s egg, but it does not mean one cannot become a father”.

A low sperm count in male lessens the possibility of fertilizing the female’s egg, but it does not mean one cannot become a father”.
Alois akatsikitsira nekuti his fears and denials were confirmed, asi Doctor vakaenderera,
“I will refer you to a Fertility clinic, it will be good dai maienda mese with your wife because besides medical treatment, there are other things that you need to do, some adjustments at home such as your diet and your lifestyle, zvinoda kuti mubatsirane, wega it can be stressful ukazvitadza.”
This was a very difficult for Alois, paakasvika kumba akangotaura sematsananguriro ange aita chiremba, he did not want to ask anything from his wife, he wanted her to offer and initiate. Asi Monica ange akamirirawo musi wakadai uyu, akabva ati;
“Ndozvatairegera kuita for the past 7 years izvi, how many times did I ask you kuti tiende tese to doctors? Now Chengeto made it possible? Now Chengeto forced you kuti uchienda handiti? Thanks to influential Chengeto she can make powerful, life changing decisions for this marriage.”
Mudzimai akambonyarara achimedza mate nekufemedzeka, ndokuenderera, “but come to think of it, ko wadii wati inini ndiite zvawakaita naChengeto?”

Mudzimai akambonyarara achimedza mate nekufemedzeka, ndokuenderera, “but come to think of it, ko wadii wati inini ndiite zvawakaita naChengeto?”
Alois akatarisa mudzimai wake ndokuti; “Kuita sei ikoko?”
“I find another man wekuita naye mwanaka handiti dai zvakaita kwawakabva kwese dai watove nevakawanda?”
Alois akaridza tsamwa ndokuti; “I know you are angry and I treated you unfairly, but waa kufarisa manje. Kana wave nechikomba taura zvakanaka.”
“I find another man wekuita naye mwanaka handiti dai zvakaita kwawakabva kwese dai watove nevakawanda?”
Alois akaridza tsamwa ndokuti; “I know you are angry and I treated you unfairly, but waa kufarisa manje. Kana wave nechikomba taura zvakanaka.”
Monica akabva atanga kuchema; “You see, you see iwewe hauzvikwanise handiti, ko inini handisi munhu? N’anga yekuMufakose yakandirarisa muSewage, yekuEpworth ikanditenderedza mumakuva ndakashama, gore riya ndikaita cerebral malaria kunge ndichafa ndarara kumasowe kuChiredzi weekend yese. Guesthouse yandairara Nigeria was bombed by suicide bombers ndave ne2 days ndadzoka kuno. Waivepi?
You saw all my Medical reports for 6 years Alois, why did it took you so long to THINK kuti it could be you! Nhasi waa kuti ndinofarisa, dai ndakaita easy way like you and your intelligent mother did with Chengeto, now ndakazadza vana pamba pano kare kare. Now watadza zvese waa kuti ndikubatsire. Your mother is cruel Alois, yes go tell her I said so, uvati vakudzorere mudumbu mavo ubude wave nemamwe mabhora anogona kugadzira hwurume hwunoumba munhu , hoo she actually made a mistake kukuzvara usina kunyatsokwana pakati apo, go to your mother.”
Alois akasimuka ndokubuda panze ondogara ega, this was getting hotter, akaona kuti aizomurova kana airamba akaterera mashoko emudzimai wake. Vakaita mazuva matatu vasingataudzane vakanyarara vachijaira nyaya yavo. Monica akabva azoti;
“Handei kwaDoctor kwacho munotanga treatment” Alois akaramba akanyarara, Monica paakazotaurazve kechitatu, that’s when Alois responded, “What if it doesn’t work? Zvikaramba ndodii?”
“Tozviona ipapo, remember TB Joshua akanditi I will have a son, haana kumboti outside this marriage I am still believeing in my prophecy for 4 years now. I believe this treatment is the answer to our prayers.”
Vakazobvumirana ndokundoona chiremba wavo, and God being the Creator that He has been since the beginning of time, in the 3rd month, the doctors confirmed Monica pregnant. The couple was more that excited, asi havana hama yavakada kutaurira, vakagara vega rejoicing and spoiling each other.

Ambuya Makonese vakange vaita mwedzi mishanu yese vasina kutaura nemwana wavo, pavakadzokera kumusha vakandosvika Chengeto achidzokera kwake Buhera. Akangoitawo semunhu ange andosevenza, proof of nice clothes, groceries and a fat bank account made it believable.
Ambuya vakafunga to visit his first born son and make peace with him, and as always vaienda without an appointment, vaingosvika zvavo sechamupupuri. Izvi Monica aisave nehanya nazvo pahama dzemurume wake, ko Alois was a father to all of them.
Ambuya vakaita sevachafenda vachivhurirwa musuwo naMonica dumbu riri uko, ngarikure aiita kunge ane matwins. Vakabata bata kuti vaone kuti raisave rekuisira here, muroora akaseka achikanyaira slowly as she made way for the monster-in-law to come in.
“Ko wakadii kundiudza kuti ndozvawakazofunga izvi?”
“Chiiko nhai amai” Monica akabvunza asina kunzwisisa.

Monica akasimuka ave kurongedza zvinhu zvavange vauya nazvo uye kuvagadzirirawo chekudya.
Mushure me4 months ambuya vashanya, Takunda akabva azvarwa, pakave nekufara nekupemberera. Vese Monica naAlois vakagutsikana nemwana wavo mumwe chete, kana zita ravakamupa raive rekutura befu, vakange vakunda nyika. Havana kuzoda wepiri uye makore akange afamba vakange vachembera, the doctors told them it was risky to have a normal baby at that advanced age and also under treatment.
Takunda was clever and brilliant throughout his primary school years. Nekukura achiona kudiwa kwaaiitwa nevabereki vake, he took advantage of them. He was over pampered and he enjoyed every moment of it.
