The fate of her love

CHAPTER 10

In two days, I took Jessica with me to the hospital. I was very nervous for this, as if it was my first Parents Teachers Meeting... It's funny how I can give presentations without getting nervous but I can feel nervous because of this. But I have to accept the fact that this day will be more important than the most important presentation of my life...

Now, we are sitting in front of Ms. Anjali. Even though I wanted to fire her, but Jessica stopped me from doing this. It's funny how she can forgive everyone.

"Mr. Shahid, I would like to speak to you alone. Please Ms. Jessica, can you leave us alone."

"But why, is there any problem?" Jessica and I asked at the same time.

Ms. Anjali looked at us like we are mad.

"Please, I could discuss this with both of you but I don't think Ms. Jessica could handle this."

Jessica went out.

"Mr. Shahid, from how long do you know Ms. Jessica?"

"From seventeen years. Why? Is there any problem?"

"We found a kind of drug in her blood. The main point here is that she has been consuming this drug for at least ten to fifteen years. Do you know anything about this?"

"No. But how could this happen?"

"I can't say anything about that. You have to find that out by yourselves. The drug has lessened the ability of her body to receive nutrition from her food. Because of this, she is extremely skinny and her eggs couldn't develop. Her eggs are sterile. They can't carry out the process of fertilization. But the normal menstrual cycle is followed because an egg is still released every month. So, she never suspected this. But, the traces of the drug in her blood has been reduced. It means that she is not consuming them from the last two to five years. She can get the nourishment now but her eggs will never get developed. She is sterile."

I was shocked at this information... How could this happen? She is consuming a drug for years and still she doesn't know anything about it. How would I explain this to her?

I went out and there, Jessica is standing outside, fiddling with her fingers.

"What did the doctor say,"she asks softly.

"I will explain this to you at home."

"Okay,"she says, biting her lower lip nervously. Oh God! I want to bite them for her... What are you doing Vikas? She needs time and space and here you are coping with your desire...

We reach home and I tell her everything. She was shocked. She cried hysterically. I took her in my arms and rubbed her back soothingly. Suddenly, I heard a gasp.

I looked at her and saw...
