“I
haven’t told you but I noticed the forlorn look on
your face each time we went to the gynaecologist. I simply don’t understand as
to why you are so close minded to treatments.”
Sumi looks at her husband and does not say a word as she gets into the car.
“What
is the matter with you, Sumi? You have to understand that I too feel
disappointed. Can we not consider options?” Kumar is unable to control his
irritation.
“Treatments are very expensive and there is no
guarantee that they will work. It could take a few years and we are not growing
any younger, says Sumi nonchalantly, staring at the young couple happily making
their way towards the car park.
“Okay
then. Are you close minded to adoption, too?”
Sumi
looks at her husband. This is music to her ears.
“Are
you sure?” She asks, her face lighting up instantly.
“Yes
of course! If that will make you the Sumi I courted, fell in love with and got
married against my parents’ wishes, then why not?” Kumar grins as he starts the
ignition.
Sumi
is unable to control her emotions. She sobs quietly. How else would she be able
to bring her little daughter, Maria, home?
