The doctor read through the report and told Celina that everything is normal. She told Celina to wait for another six months and go for artificial insemination.
“But I don’t want a child doctor. Never, never from him” Celina replied the doctor. The doctor was initially shocked to hear that.
“Why do you say so? Is he not good to you? Or do you have any problem living with him?” Celina could not answer the questions immediately. She took some time to reply.
“Yes, he may look good but I never enjoyed being a woman with him. I never had an opportunity to enjoy the bliss of being born as a woman” Celina replied with a firm tone.
Celina’s eyes brimmed with tears. “I know it is painful to forsake motherhood, but I don’t want his child” Celina replied again.
“There is no need to hurry. Take your own time to decide and get back to me ” the doctor answered her in a calm tone.
“What will you get from the egg of a snake?” Celina questioned the doctor.
Puzzled with her question, the doctor looked at her.
“Answer me, doctor.” Celina repeated.
“A baby snake” the doctor answered her.
“Can anything different come out of the egg of a snake?” Celina looked at the doctor.
The doctor nodded her head silently. “He is a venomous snake, and I don’t want to get one more replica of him.” Celina replied her.
“I just could not tolerate one more person like him. It can be a girl or a boy. Yet, the child will definitely carry the genes of him. At any time it will show its true colors.” Celina got up from her chair thanking the doctor.
Celina reached home with a heavy heart. Jason was watching television as usual. He did not bother to ask her about the report.
Celina went to the kitchen and filled two cups of coffee. She gave one cup to Jason and walked to the balcony with the other cup in her hand.
The evening sun glowed red in the western horizon. Slowly the sky turned dark. The glowing sun moved down the horizon.
The moon slowly came up from the horizon and moved high in the sky. With her eyes focused, she meditated for a while. With a deep breath she ordered her sub-conscious mind.
“God knows what you deserve accept it with a whole heart.” Celina with a smile looked at the moon again.
End.
