.....Present time... Zinu waked up from her bed in the morning and made some quick breakfast. She had to go to hospital for check up. Buli would accompany her.Both friends were silent since morning. They were thinking same thing, but n.o.body dare to speak it. They both were thinking that, should Zinu keep the baby or not? If she keep the baby, it would not easy for her to raise the baby, as she is unmarried. Both sighed and got ready for hospital.
In the hospital Zinu took an appointment to a gynecologist and she entered on her turn. The doctor checked her and prescribed some tests. Within two hours they both were in front of the doctor, with the reports. "As per your reports you are 12 weeks pregnant. The foetus is very healthy. It"s growth is also very good. Congratulations! you will be a mother of a very healthy baby. " The doctor smiled.
Both friends nodded and stared each other.
"Do you want to know anything? " The doctor asked them as she saw their confused state.
Zinu asked, "Doctor, can I abort the baby? "
The doctor shocked.She said, "Abort the baby? What are you saying Miss Zinu? "
Zinu said, "Doctor actually I am not ready for the baby. I am only twenty. How would I able to be a good mother?
Doctor smiled and shook her hed, " No, miss. I will not recommend you to abort the baby. The baby is healthy. It must have a mix of good genes so his movement and growth is over than average. Apart from that it would be quite risky for you to do so, as your foetus is already 12 weeks old. Miss, age is not barrier to become a mother. As a doctor I would say, it is not too much early to be a mother at this age. So, don"t worry. You are lucky that you are pregnant, a lot of women come to me and cry for their infertility. G.o.d has gifted you this baby. So, think about it. Final decision is yours. If you want abortion than you have to come back tomorrow. I will abort the child. "
Zinu nodded and thanked the doctor. Buli took the prescription from her to bought the medicines and Zinu approached towards the reception.As she reached near the reception, something felt on her feet. She looked down and saw a purse. She took the purse and search for the owner of it. She saw two old ladies were searching something near the corridor. She immediately understood that they must searching the purse.So, she approached them and said, "Excuse me! Madam are you searching this? "
The older lady saw Zinu with her purse. She surprised to see the beauty in front of her. She smiled to the other lady, who looked like her maid. "Oh my G.o.d! Exactly this girl would fit to all my requirements to be my granddaughter-in -law. I have to know more about her. "
"Madam! " Zinu called her again.
"Oh sorry! Yes. It is my purse. I have dropped it somewhere and searching it for quite a long time. Thank you dear for finding it for me. " Her maid almost choked. Five minutes is quite a long time for her, but from when? Mrs. Smith dropped her purse somewhere not more than five minutes ago. And she is saying that she was searching it for long time? As she tried to understand what is happening she heard her lady boss, "Miss, you saved me from the wrath of my grandson today. He would give me good scolding today if I lost it. Thank you again. Would you please accompany me to this hospital canteen for a cup of tea? " Zinu hesitated. She wanted to go home and take rest. "Madam, I am sorry. But today I am in a hurry. Next time I surely drink with you. " She politely said.
The lady pouted. "Ok.I will let you go, but you have to give me your contact number. So, I could call you. "
Zinu smiled. She liked this type of old lady, who use to keep nagging their grandchildren. She saw other children"s grandparents who doted on their grandkids. But, she never experienced that, as she had no grandparents from both sides of her parents. "Sure grandma. Please take this. " Zinu smiled and took a paper and note her number on it and bid farewell them and left. The lady was very much excited to as she got Zinu"s number. She saved the number immediately and send it to her grandson and called. "John, I have found a perfect bride for you. I have sent her number to you. You have to call her. She is very beautiful, well mannered and most importantly... " John, who was in a very important meeting, rubbed his forehead and cut her in sentence and asked, "first you tell me where are you? " In excitement his grandmother said"I am in city X. You know the colour of her hairs.... "
John again cut her again in mid sentence and asked coldly, "What are you doing there? Isn"t the doctor adviced you to take rest? "
His grandmother bit her tongue in shock. How can she spill the beans herself. It was her secret. She forced Aunt Fue not to inform John about the journey and now in excitement she herself told him everything. She stammered, "I.. I came to see my friend in hospital ,who is sick. "
"Grandma you return quickly to home. " said and hang up. He sounds very angry. Mrs. Smith told Fue"Hurry up! We have to go home quickly . " And they hurriedly left the hospital.
