HER ONE NIGHT STAND

THE TEST

CHAPTER 1

Myra rechecked the pregnancy kit which showed two pink lines. Her worst fears were confirmed. She was pregnant.

How could this have happened? She knew the answer of course but the major problem was that she was unmarried. This would create a major scandal in their family especially after Jiya's scandal six months back.

Myra Mehra was Vice President Marketing in "SN Advertising" Gurgaon. She belonged to Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. Jaisalmer was a small town where everyone knew everyone.

Hence news of her pregnancy would harm her family's reputation for ever. Her parents were old school and sex before marriage was considered taboo. Brides were supposed to be virgins on their wedding night.

She had a meeting at 5PM with a prospective client so instead of thinking over her problem she gathered her wits and started working on the presentation.

Mr Khanna her prospective client were launching some low calories products for the fitness conscious. These products were being launched under one brand " LOWCAL". They ranged from cereals to biscuits to low fat ghee and many other items.

Myra believed that since these products were to be used at home so a family scenario for the television advertisement would be the best. Mr Khanna liked her presentation and assured her that their company would decide to hire "S N Advertising" for all their campaigns.

Since her work had finished for the day she decided to go home early.

On reaching her Gurgaon flat the realty of all that had happened in the morning came back to haunt her.

She was pregnant , single and she hated the father of her baby. First she would book an appointment with a good Gynaecologist and then decide on further course of action. Abortion was out of the question.

The next day the gynae confirmed that she was seven weeks pregnant . The foetus was normal and there was nothing to worry about. She just had to be careful, take her medicines properly and eat a healthy diet. Since it was early so nausea had not yet started.

At this point she felt lonely but she could not yet confide in her sister because Jiya would put two and two together and find out that Ritwik Singhania was the father.
