Embracing Reality Chapter 30
1.
Let's begin!! After a long long time..
On reaching the hospital for their appointment with Counsellor Srijana, after inquiring from the reception, there they were standing infront of a door which said, "Your mind is welcome here with all my Heart!".. Shehnaaz read that and laughed, "classic Srijana!".. Sidharth smiled too and squeezed Shehnaaz's hand, as they heard a voice asking them to come in, when they knocked.
Srijana, on seeing Sidnaaz, got up from her seat and welcomed them, by shaking both their hands. "Oh my God! What a pleasant surprise! Sidnaaz aaye hai.. Mere paas!".

Shehnaaz laughed seeing her all excited recalling her same excitement when she met them on the flight and at the beach! "Haan... we need your help and since I am comfortable with you, that's why, we are here!".. said Sidharth
"I understand. Please have a sit. Do not worry.. Whatever we speak and discuss today, will be strictly kept confidential and absolutely no one will get to know anything, without your consent. That's on my guarantee.. So tell me, sir ma'am, with what can I help you with?" Said Srijana, taking them in confidence and making them comfortable to share all what they want without the

fear of getting the information leaked in the media or anywhere else..
Sidharth looked at Shehnaaz and asked her to start.. Shehnaaz took a deep breath and said," Srijana, tumko toh pata hai hamari shadi kabki ho rakhi hai.. Jaise har couple apne bache paida karte hai waise hum bhi chah rahe hai apna ek baby laana is duniya me.. Career ke chakkar me delay kar rahe the lekin ab aur nai.. Ab hamare liye sahi waqt aa gaya hai.. Lekin kehte hai na insaan ko har cheez asaani se nai milti.. Mere na kuch tests hue usme pata laga ki mere body me iron kam hai.. Uska toh mai dhyan rakh rahi hu diet wagera sab follow kar rahi hu aur usse level abhi badh bhi raha hai..

Lekin...." Shehnaaz stopped speaking..
As Shehnaaz stopped, she found her eyes brimmed with unshed tears. Sidharth looked at her and kissed the side of her head. Srijana passed on some water to Shehnaaz and in the mean time Sidharth spoke,"Shehnaaz was late on her periods and just like every eager first time parent, humne pregnancy test liya... but..but..it came negative. I cannot afford to lose Shehnaaz...jaan hai ye ladki meri.. main nahi chahta ki meri wajah se Shehnaaz ko koi kuch bole ya usko koi takleef ho.. Please help us out.. I am not ashamed to say infront of Shehnaaz that main uska strength banna chahta hu, not her weakness

but right now, I don't know how. Help us." Sidharth sighed and Shehnaaz held his hand tight..
After listening to both of them Srijana thought for a while and finally spoke to the couple, "So basically, jitna mujhe samajh aaya hai, aur jitna main ap dono ko thoda bohot jaanti hu, after the mini setback, Sidharth sir, ap overthink karne laage ho and you must have blamed yourself for the negative result... and Shehnaaz ma'am, ap Sidharth sir ke liye darr gaaye that his nature of overthinking might take him away from you and from his own self. And you want him to know and understand that isme inki koi galti nahi thi. Am i right?" Srijana asked.

Shehnaaz and Sidharth both nodded their head like eager kids.." You are good in your work. Maine Sidharth ko apne taraf se samjhaaya lekin mera tareeka alag hai.. Kya tum humari help kar sakti ho Srijana?" Shehnaaz cooed softly.
"Of course I can and I will. But before I start saying, I would just like to say that ap dono ek dusre ke strength ho aur ap dono kabhi bhi kisi bhi halaat mein ek dusre ko hurt nahi kar sakte.. Itna yaad rakhna aur yeh dhyann mein rakh ke meri aage ki baat sunna.".. Srijana looked at them and found them smiling at her, positively.

7.
Taking that smile as a cue, Srijana or rather Counsellor Srijana started saying.
"Sir ma'am, parenthood ek aisa stage hai jisme naa hi apko caring aur loving hona padhta hai apke baby ke prati balki aapko ek dusre ke prati bhi caring aur loving hona padega, .. You both have to be equally caring and loving towards each other as well.. Jaisa ki apne bola ma'am, that you had certain major deficiencies which you have almost taken care of, with the help of medicine and mostly with the help of Sidharth sir.. Wo apke saath the, har ek pal, jab apko unki zaroorat thi and that's why I said Sidharth sir is your strength. Now, coming to you sir, jab test result
