I was in my seventh month and I had not registered with any clinic or hospital. A part of me just feared being asked questions.

We went to the Botanical garden. Charles wanted us to stroll around the garden- said he wanted to stretch his legs and breathe in some fresh air. I loved it too. Far from the madding crowd. We walked around for a while, catching up on his work and a bit about my college life. Then […]
