Short Story on Mother's day

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your

body.

- Eliizabeth Stone

Sejal saw her child say goodbye & running inside the school gate. She was happy as it was her first day at school. She came home & made herself a cup of hot tea & sat by the window. A silent tear slipped through her eyes. She remembered the words her family said – please stop being foolish - abort the child. Please marry someone… & she smiled at herself for being so strong & going against all odds & bringing Pari into this beautiful world.
