Shehnaaz and Jasmine were lying on the bed on a Friday evening. They were listening to music.

Shehnaaz had her eyes closed while she was listening to music when she was interrupted by a phone call. It was the call from the fertility centre that shehnaaz had been waiting for.

Shehnaaz was a bit hesitant before she picked up the call. She heard a girl speaking from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, may I speak to Miss shehnaaz ?" she asked.

"Yes, this is shehnaaz speaking," replied shehnaaz .

"Hey, I am naina from the fertility clinic. This is a call to remind you that you have to visit our clinic tomorrow at noon. " She informed her.

"Oh... Okay, this might be for my medical check-up. I will definitely show up. Could you please let me know how much time it will take to conduct all the necessary tests? " Shehnaaz questioned it curiously.

Naina calmly replied to her query,
"I would not be able to tell you that, ma'am." You won't know how time-consuming the process is until you get here tomorrow. It depends from person to person.

Naina did not say anything further and disconnected the call.

The last words that shehnaaz  heard over the phone left her thinking. Jasmine , when she stole a glance at her, realised that shehnaaz was lost in her own world.

"Shehnaaz ? What happened? Whose call was it? And why do you look so worried? " She questioned

Shehnaaz had her eyes glued to her phone's screen while she replied to the question. "Umm... Actually, a woman from the fertility centre had called. She asked me to come over tomorrow around noon.

Jasmine  was surprised at her statement and raised a question,
"she has called you to the clinic. But why? "

Had I not told you that I would be undergoing some medical tests if my application is accepted? I am assuming that she had called me for the same purpose, "shehnaaz answered.

Jasmine's expressions changed from calm to furious within a split second. She was worried about her best friend.

I'm still not sure, shehnaaz , if you should literally go ahead with this. Please, babe, you still have some time left in your hands. Withdraw your application and don't go to the clinic for the medical examination. I'm afraid I don't know how you'd get through it all.Umm... I mean, shehnaaz , are you sure about it? Like cent percent sure? " Jasmine insisted.

"Yes, I am sure. I'll do it. Or I would say, I have to do it, "shehnaaz replied to her confidently.

She portrayed herself as confident before Jasmine , but she was very anxious and nervous thinking about the consequences that might follow. She was frightened by the mere thought of how she would handle it all alone.

She might have played it smart and confident, but deep down, the truth was that she was scared.

The next day was a holiday, and shehnaaz  was accustomed to waking up late in the morning on her holidays. But today was different. She could not get proper sleep last night. Her mind kept on reminding her that she had to visit the fertility clinic at 12 noon.

She did not even have a proper meal as she was stressed and anxious about visiting the fertility clinic for a medical check-up.

Jasmine had been noticing her restlessness, and she even wanted to talk to her about the same, but stepped back. She did not find shehnaaz in a mood to have a conversation with her.

Shehnaaz was dressing up to leave for the clinic when shehnaaz  walked into her room.

Shehnaaz was surprised to see her friend all dressed up as if she was going somewhere.
