Chapter 217

She had been on every leading fashion magazine, worked with every top designer and had earned a special name for her. Hard working, compassionate and gorgeous. So today everyone was willing to work on her schedule and just as a command of respect, no one asked her why she won’t be available on certain days, probably everyone thought she needed some time alone after her divorce proceedings. Either way it gave her the best opportunity and means to keep her health issues a secret. All those years ago when she was young and aspiring and was planning a family with the love of her life, the severe abdominal pain had started a whole new episode changing her life completely. She was bleeding and was suffering from abdominal pain and at that time she was shooting in Chicago, USA. She had taken an appointment with Dr.Shilome as she was recommended by a coworker and she had suspected an entopic pregnancy and had done an Ultrasound that had confirmed her suspicions. Her fertilized egg had implanted outside the uterus. Since there was neither space nor nutrition it eventually burst causing severe bleeding. Complications had occurred and she had been rushed to the hospital and her life was saved. Her life came with a costly prize; she could never have children of her own.

A couple of month’s she had gone to the doctor for a follow up and she had noticed some tenderness on her breast and had asked to run some tests. After a couple of eliminations it had turned out that she was at the very early stage of breast cancer. It had devastated her, with so many things that were going on in her life. She was already having difficulty dealing with the fact that she had lost a child and she could never have another, especially she had spoken about it with Akshar before leaving for Chicago. They had spoken about so many things, like their future, their love, their life together and he had mentioned that he wanted three children, a son and two daughters and how he will play with them and take care of them. She couldn’t bring herself to talk to him about what had happened in Chicago, she had kept him in the dark, trying to avoid him and completely immerse herself in her work and staying away from him, mainly out of fear that she couldn’t face him.
