" Marry me "
Drona kept standing there as she was not sure if that man in front of was joking or not. But, her life seemed to be a joke to her now because of the sudden turns of life.
"What I would do if I am really pregnant! ", the thought of being pregnant chilled her body out. Suddenly, she started to feel panicked about her future if she really turned out to be pregnant.

The female doctor was checking her pulse as the room was pin dropped silent. Aaron wanted to come inside but she was not really comfortable as he is still a total stranger to her. He seemed to understand her feelings and decided to stand outside.
Drona started to become nervous as soon as she came inside. The expression on the doctor's face was making her more nervous as she kept thinking about the possibilities, " Oh God! What if I am really pregnant. What the heck I would do?"
Suddenly the doctor's voice came to her ears and she felt like she was about to die by freezing. Her whole body frozed as she heard the words, " Miss, I think you are pregnant by my experiences. But, still we need to do a full check up to make sure. I am ninety eight percent sure that you are pregnant "
Drona didn't know how to react to that sudden breaking news. She kept looking at the nurse as she couldn't believed her ears. She asked again and again to make sure but the nurse was determined that she was indeed pregnant.
Drona was not sure what she would really do. If the man outside would know about that thing, then he will definitely not let her go. She was really not ready to be tangled with any man in her life. But, this is the truth that he is the father of her unborn baby. He was the one who really came out and he is ready to take the responsibility when she was not even aware of the fact that she was pregnant with her child. And worst of all, she was going to suicide and she was going to kill her own baby. She felt like crying out loud just thinking that she was really about kill her own baby.
Drona took a deep breath as she suddenly hold the doctor's hand and tried to talk to her, " Doctor, please do me a favour. I really don't want to tell him that I am pregnant. I want to be hundred percent sure and then I want to inform him. Can you please tell him that I am not pregnant, please. I have my reasons doctor, please..", she started to cry as she was pleading to the doctor.
The doctor was shocked as Drona was crying but she understood her feelings. That doctor was really experienced and she has dealed with these kind of situation where some girls really wanted to keep it a secret for their own good. So, she agreed to do so.
Aaron came forward as soon as Drona came out from the room and they both went to the doctor's chamber.
" Mr Aaron, I don't think that she is expecting. Miss Drona can go through some test if she wants too. But, I think she is not pregnant. ", the doctor said those words to Aaron so professionally.
" So, would you like to do some test to be sure about that?", the doctor asked them.
" It's upto her", Aaron replied with a calm tone.
Drona took a glance at him and she felt mixed feeling. She just met this man about an hour ago but he is the father of her child. He was so sure that he is going to be a father and is ready to take the responsibilities. And she is lying to him. He seemed to be so quite about the fact that she is not pregnant. " He is giving up so easily. Isn't he?, she thought to herself.
" I don't want to do any test. I don't think I am pregnant. ", Drona said it out loud. The doctor replied, " Well, but if you feel like any kind of uncomfort, please visit again. Sometimes, pregnancy takes longer to be identified. "

Drona tried to escape from him as she was walking fast to get out of the hospital. She was going through the rollercoaster of emotions as she didn't knew what she was gonna do.
Just an hour ago, she was about to end her life. But, now look at her. No way she is going to do this now. When she heard those words from the doctor, she felt scared. She felt sad, she was panicked, she was shocked, but most of all, she felt blessed. She was the happiest at that moment. She felt guilty and frightened thinking about the possibilities that she was about to kill her own child.
But, this man came for her. He came for his child. He was ready to take the responsibilities. His family priest is really something to predict such a future for him.
But, she is hiding this matter from him and she is snatching away his rights from his. After all, he is the father of her child though he is a total stranger.
Aaron was walking behind her. He suddenly stopped in his track as he asked her, " So are you gonna continue? "
Drona stopped her track as she looked behind with a confused face as she replied, " Continue what?"
" Are you not gonna jump from that bridge now that you are not pregnant? ", Aaron asked with a blank face as he folded his arms.
Drona started to feel panicked hearing this question from him. She actually didn't know what to do, where to go, but she was sure about the fact that she is not going to die.
" Is he going to follow me now? Does he want to make sure that I will die now?", Drona felt restless as she thought about this outcome in her mind.
" If you are not sure about what you want to do, then why don't you reconsider my offer?", Aaron asked her out loud which interrupted her thoughts.
She became more confused as she asked, " Offer?"
" Offer for marriage. You can still be pregnant after that.", He asked her in low voice as a smirk slightly appeared on his face.
