Three Days of Rain

In Fanta Village, when it rains, lives can be lost in a coma. But on the other side, it is a joy to people who are anticipating the rain. Now, when the weather begins to show signs of rain, the people of Fanta Village and the surrounding villages all raise their hands toward the sky, awaiting it with hope.

In Fanta Village, Pokualee, a woman, tries everything possible to abort her unborn baby. She attempts every means—mechanical, chemical, traditional, and spiritual—just to get rid of the child.

Now, Pokualee is about to give birth, and the rain is drawing near. The weather has already begun to announce its arrival. Meanwhile, Pokualee and her unborn baby are both in a coma.

To the villagers, rain means life, food, and a successful harvest.

But to Pokualee's husband, Fablo, and the native doctor, Na Do, the arrival of rain means only one thing—death. According to the beliefs of Fanta Village, when rain falls while someone is in a coma, that life may never return.

Now the question lingers...

Will the gods allow the rain so Pokualee's anticipation becomes a reality?

Or will the gods cancel the rain so the population dies of hunger, while the unborn baby remains alive?

The answer lies within the pages of this unforgettable African tale of tradition, sacrifice, faith, mystery, and the difficult choices between one life and many.
