Shruti read the test report. She was pregnant. Everyone including Sandeep was elated. Time for another party after yesterday’s celebration of one month wedding anniversary!!
Three weeks later, as she lay on a hospital bed and listened to nurses discuss the accident, she was happy inside.
She had to do it. It was not time yet.

Nice…
thanks!
Very good.. VERY good.
- Sandeep.
PS: But it begs the question… “Why wasn’t she taking enough precautions?”
thanks. Precautionary methods are not 100% safe..also many couples don’t use precaution cuz husbands dont like it!!
Nature has its own course.
True!
Hmm.. my question doesn’t make sense!
I think it’s a bit of sad
But an excellent write up
coming from u its an honor. thanks!
Good one! I had a feeling the twist would be something like that….
thanks PsychBabbler
beautiful and a very nice twist
Thanks Shilpa
crisp and clear
Thanks Nu
Hmm nice.. motherhood is a choice, but she should’ve taken precautions. Accidents happen though, nothing is fool proof.
And you’re back with a bang after your writer’s block..yayy!!
thanks! many people do not take any precautions especially newly wedded ones.
Ohhh!!!
ohhh!
Liked the whole idea behind the post; the idea of linking your old post to this 55er at the end
I was wondering how it appeared there, and then I realised its not through wordpress 
I like the idea of choosing which posts to link here
It also helped me understand the 55er 
Hehehe
or you know.. she could’ve used birth control pills.. nice write up anyway
thanks..few couples I know dont use any precautions..and any method is not 100% safe
Oooooh! Nice twist!
thanks Ritu
That’s some twist!! Took me a tweet to understand
lol
very nice… and the way it touches subtly on so many issues
very nice indeed
thank u so much
This is a topic I’d rather not comment on. Hate abortions, the people who do it, and the people who take it lightly [even if it's in a story; just gets my blood boiling]
Sorry for being a killjoy!
Glad to have you back, though
Yey!
Its ok..U can have a different opinion…but I think hate is too strong a word for such a complex issue…Its not always a easy decision but sometimes necessary. Read this news and tell me..will u hate the 10 yr old girl? Is she supposed to keep the child at her life’s risk just cause abortion is supposedly wrong?

With a twist… not sure if it was to my liking though…
thanks Roshmi
read this sort of thing already…
umm where?
nice Reema
thanks Kanagu
Hai.. Reena good nice twist !!!!!!
welcome to my blog. thanks
Nice one Reema
Thanks Swaram
yes. She was right. when not ready, one shouldn’t force themselves..
A baby, a family is to give and take joy and it shouldn’t be a burden!
I loved it!
Thanks Pixie
nice and easy to read….
Thanks Bro
What a twist!
Sad..but yeah,if it happened in spite of taking care,it may be ok…
Hmmm
I am a late comer. Followed from IHM.
May be things went south in the relationship and what was desirable three weeks ago was not so charming now.
May be it was a way to say I destroyed you… even though it was not a rape or who knows. It reminds me of the scene ifrom Amrita Pritam’s Pinjar where Punno induces a purposive miscarriage.
Good one.
Desi girl
welcome to my blog! thank you!
//she was happy inside.
She had to do it. It was not time yet.//
Mind = Blown.
Loved the ending.
Thanks Priya!
Good 55er Reema. A bit sad though.
Why the ‘accident ‘ one wonders? Why not a simple spelling out of facts? That I dont want to have a baby right now?
But then one doesn’t always have the choice I suppose. An equal choice to decide.
thanks dear! yes in many families the woman doesn’t get to decide if and when to have a baby.
Accident?
Yeah she made people think so!
Good one! Makes me sad to think women have to ‘choose’ this option in secret, as the family will NOT support them anyway. I mean, if she had the freedom to abort the pregnancy with support from her family she would never have to resort to an ‘accident’ right?!
thanks!yes of course! no need for lies then.
nice one.. thought raising.. but good that she thought of ending it.. good that the child did not met with the same fate as the one did in Pune recently.. killed minutes within birth by the mother herself.
Good one.
thanks! Is that so?? sad news.
