The Ironies of Life and Living - D


D had been trying hard to conceive after her marriage, but was unsuccessful. She and her loving husband spent thousands of dollars going for a few rounds of IVF treatments. Nothing worked. Even spiritual visits to churches and her constant prayers were not answered. Her teenaged niece came to stay with her while pursuing a course at a local college. Within a couple of weeks, her niece was found to be with child. D had never even known that her niece had had a boyfriend. She still seemed so young and innocent and now, she was going to be a mother? What made her want to engage in sex at such a young age? Did she ever consider that her proximity with the opposite sex would lead her to becoming pregnant? Her niece admitted that she had only done it once and was ‘caught’. Why was D never ‘caught’ despite the fact that she was ready to be a mother?
