In a dark room, a woman was lying lifeless on her bed. Tear stains on her cheeks with puffed eyes served as a proof of her sorrow and desolation."Everyone left me one by one. My child, my brother, my dad and now my mom" All dead.
There exists only pain of the past and no hope for the future.
She dragged her body to the bathroom, splashed her face with cold water, but it didn"t seem to calm her wild heart.
She wanted to search for sleeping pills. "If I eat them all, will I get retribution?"
Just as she turned around, her eyes fell on dustbin nearby. Her body seems to have been electrocuted.
It was a "pregnancy strip"
Picking it up, she grasped it tightly fearing it would get lost. Still confused, her gaze fell on the mirror the familiar yet unfamiliar face: no wrinkles, no dark circles, the waist length glossy hair. She gripped her clothes: the black suit skirt with a white full sleeve s.h.i.+rt.
This used to be her office wear!
What is going on?!
Baffled, She frantically ran from the bedroom to the living room to study. Yes, it was her old home rather her ex-husband"s home. She saw the date on the calendar hanging on the wall.
Reborn!!! A decade ago. When she was 28!
She stood bewildered.
"Is it true?"
"Everyone is still alive. I won"t let the tragedy of the past repeat itself"
Moreover, she was pregnant...
"The two lines on the pregnancy strip which felt like prison bars in my last life will be my wings this life."
She touched her belly and cried "Baby thank you for coming to me again. Mom apologizes for not appreciating you in past."
That was Ira, cold and arrogant businesswoman.
Suddenly, she felt the grip on her wrist. Her hand still holding the pregnancy strip.
"Are you pregnant?" a nervous voice.
This was Vivan. He is 27 but ironically looked same as when he was 37 in contrast to her wretched self.
Viv came to her mother"s funeral. He, her ex then had a ring on his finger, had a wife, and had a kid...
She looked at his fingers He has a different ring, a wife, a kid but it is hers. She felt relieved.
"Are you pregnant?" He asked, seemingly unsure
Ira overwhelmed started crying "Ah_Wahh... Wahh..." Heartrendingly wailing like a child.
Viv was so unsure "what to do?" The woman didn"t like him to hug her or kiss her. He extended his arms slightly but retracted them back. It was then he felt pressure on his chest. Realizing it was Ira attached to him like a koala bear, he s.h.i.+vered. He was in high clouds.
Just as he was about to hug her, she turned out of his arms and
"Pu_" Ira had nausea.
"Are you sick? Let"s go to the hospital. Have you eaten something wrong?"
"Viv, Idiot I am pregnant. It is merely nausea. It has been 2 months already." She hugged him and once more started weeping.
