Mr and Mrs Unromantic

* Remedies

The next day, Sreeja's parents too came and discussed about the issue with everyone in the family. Sreeja felt very sad whenever this talk happened. The elders were discussing about what to do next.

Vasu and Latha suggested Sreeja for a change to go her house as she is more upset. But hearing it Sreeja felt panicked and thought they are sending her away from the house. 

With lot of persuasion and convincing from Venkat, Sreeja decided to go stay in her house for 3 days. Sreeja spent her days only with crying. One day, Sreeja was sitting alone thinking about what all has happened till now. Just then she remembered something and with rage went to her parents. 

"Maa, come here and tell me the truth. Did you see the horoscope matching before marriage or not?"

"I saw and then only we proceeded. now what? they told me you will have child"

"Maa, tell me the truth. I remember you telling me something about delay in pregnancy and some problems with me, when you met astrologer once before marriage."

"It was for a different horoscope and not with your husband. However, we were telling you to come for checkup with doctor ,because the astrologer said you have some problems with stomach. I pleaded you and even shouted at you to come meet doctor but you never listened to me. See what it has brought now. "

After asking few more questions, Sreeja came to know that , her parents too were aware of it slightly about the complication via horoscope. She was more agitated with their behaviour for hiding the truth and proceeding with marriage. All they wanted was Sreeja to get married soon and when Venkat's family came with no objection on anything , her parents went with the flow hiding it.

"Remember you both were telling my husband as impotent? see what karma has given for you back. Your daughter is the one who is infertile here. She can't get pregnant at all. All you wanted was me to get married soon, because all the other girls are getting married. You have spoiled the life of one good guy by marrying me to him.

Hereafter I will not even come visit you people or talk with you all. I will leave to my in laws house. Don't you dare talk to my husband or to me" retorted angry sreeja who left the same day to her inlaws house. 

She did not reveal anything about the conversation that happened in her house and her parents deed. Few days passed . Explaining his personal situation , Venkat too got transfer to chennai for a different project.

Venkat and Sreeja along with her mother in law  went and met their relative Doctor in the clinic with the reports. The same thing was told that she can't get pregnant and its difficult. 

"see there are many people who have different problems like you. They go for surrogacy or IVF or even adoption and living their life happily. Think it like you are giving life for a homeless child"

The Doctor went on with her advises and the same result that she can't get pregnant. The day went on with sreeja crying again and her family convincing her. 

In the next week , they met another doctor who gave the same reply. The following 2 months went on with meeting different doctors and taking tests again. All the Doctors were giving same reply. Some doctors gave her some medicines to bring her fsh and lsh levels to normal range. THere were other medicines too prescribed for her.

Few days, weeks and months passed. They have met around 4 astrologers both from Venkat's side and Sreeja's side asking about her pregnancy. Everyone told was same, they will have kids but will be delayed. As a result the couples were asked to do some pariharams, pooja and others activities.

"My daughter went to this temple and did this pooja for the consecutive 7 weeks and on 9th week she got pregnant, you also do this"

"my daughter inlaw went to this temple in this village and prayed, she got pregnant next month, you also make a visit there once.That God is more powerful"

"Go to this temple located in that village. After the pooja they would give you a prasadam which you and your husband need to have after taking bath for the next 2 days. It is a very powerful God and everything happens"

"Pray that you will do this kind of offerings to this God , it will work out for you "

"Recite this slokam every day" , " Do this pooja on all fridays" " do this offering on all thursday"

"you seem to have some dosha, go this sthalam and do the pooja to ward off the Dosha, it will work out"

So many , many and many more like these was suggested. Sreeja was desperate and she went to all the Temples that was suggested irrespective of small or big , city or rural, performed everything irrespective of logical or illogical.

Not only in her religion, even if it is different religion , and happened to hear someone suggesting her to do something so she will get pregnant , she did it desperately.

Along with spiritual path, Sreeja now changed different doctors, medicines and treatments to improve her health wise. 

One night , when Venkat came to his room, he saw sreeja surfing something on the internet. 

"ei.. what are you doing till now without sleeping?"

"nothing"

"tell me , or show me what you are doing" said Venkat and tried to snatch her mobile from her hand.But Sreeja pulled her mobile back and hid it from him. Venkat did not give up and snatched it hard from her ,checking what she was searching .

Seeing her search, he got irritated and shouted at her."why are you like this Sreeja?Try to get rid of whatever that Doctor told about cancer and other stuffs. Just refrain from searching all that and try to remain stress free. Only then we can make some progress"

Whenever Sreeja got time, she was worrying about whatever the Doctor told and was searching about it. Venkat literally shouted and warned her from doing anything like this at his absence. 

Sreeja was made to join Yoga and meditation class to bring her health and mind to normalcy. Subhi made her join Carnatic Music class to deviate her from all this thoughts. 

Despite of all that, her mind was completely fixed with whatever was told to her by the Doctor on that day when she was heartbroken. No matter what she tried, she was not able to forget that or think anything good or positive about her future. 

She seemed to be so desperate and in need of getting child. Sreeja was ready to anything and everything. Nowadays, she consumes more of medicines or could say living with the help of medicines. 

Every 3 months , she would be taking tests and scans again to see if there is a change. But no use. It only got worse no improvement at all. Whenever she goes to take tests or meet Doctor it is a very difficult day for Venkat in managing Sreeja. 

She would cry heavily. Once even Venkat expected a positive news , but their expectation again failed with Sreeja's periods.Everytime she was getting periods, Sreeja would become uncontrollable. This time she fainted due to the constant crying, headache and anxiety.

Already with lot of problems in her health, all these anxiety , expectations was making her health get even more worse making her live with medicines and tablets as part and parcel of her life.

Venkat too was pressurized too much from his workfront which was not going well with him and his Manager. He was more worried about his own life and Sreeja. Subhi's case was double cherry on top of the problems he currently has. 

Venkat's parents were very much distressed about the life of their two kids. One is facing issues with getting child and the other one Subhi , whose marriage was almost fixed and then cancelled at the last stage. Subhi too was mentally stressed with the problems in her life.

Let's see whose problem gets sorted out and how their lives turn. Will hope they get good times soon.
