Ella lay back on her bed, to recollect her thoughts. Her mind was unsettled and her heart kept skipping a beat anytime she thought of Leon. She couldn't force out the anxiousness and frustration that was beginning to eat deeply into her. For the first time since Leon and she became an inseparable couple, she had told him a lie and this traumatized her.
It hurt her so much that she couldn't stand on the rooftop of a building and scream out her joy. She had read and watched so many movies about how most men celebrated their pregnant wives. Some would cry, some would scream, some would shower their wives with lots of goodies and some even fainted out of excitement.
"Why is mine different? Why can't I be like a normal lady for once? Why can't I live a normal life where everyone accepts me for all my beauty and flaws? Why do I have to choose between two important things in my life? What if Leon asks me to abort this pregnancy?" Ella's head throbbed with a lot of questions.
