Prologue
Burned.
"All I wanted right after I graduated was a family. A husband who would love me and a lot of kids"
"You got your wish didn't you?"
"Did i? It's been eight years, no children, my husband....you should see the way he looks at me. Like am a curse, I am a curse. I can't even give him children"
"You're still young, you will have children. You will get your wish"
"I'm thirty years old already, so please tell me. When exactly will I have children? Maybe I shouldn't have married him, maybe I should have waited for you"
"I wouldn't have made you happy, you said it yourself"
"Maybe I was wrong, I don't know. Maybe marriage wasn't meant for me, maybe I do not deserve a family. Maybe I should have chased a career"
"Enough about the maybes, what do you want now?"
"Happiness, I want to be happy"
"And you think I can help you?"
"I don't know, I just want you to try"
"I can't help you. You should leave"
He hardened his heart but not for long because the tears that ran down her face broke his heart.
"I just want a child, just one" she sobbed.
He nodded because there was nothing in this world he wouldn't do for her.
