Take the pill, abort the foetus.
It sounded simple in theory.
‘You are pregnant” these words that had sent shivers down her spine 5 years ago- she thirsted to hear them today.
Why was life so unfair?

At some point I was that woman who nearly took the abortion option but chose otherwise. Life is a series of complications from one day to the next.
You wrote a very short piece but it’s “pregnant” with emotions.

Hi Ramya the story is she aborted once and then when she was ready for motherhood she couldn’t conceive. That was my thought when I wrote but of cos it’s always open for interpretation!
