I Can Never Have Happy Life

Attention : Please note that flash back is written in italics

Niharika's POV

Right now I'm in JFK International airport, New York waiting to catch the flight to India. As Im going to India all the memories flooded in front of me, past present and future.

FUTURE, my future which I'm totally not interested, If possible I want to forget. Which sane person wants a future with only jerks. Yes, I'm going to live with jerks who are totally money and power obsessed people that give a damn about relations.

Few months back

I came home from my Tennis practice to find my mom in the living room.

"Hello Neha, I 'm waiting for you darling" she said in excited voice. What! My mom waiting for me? That is a shock.

"Hi mom" I said .

"I have amazing news for you Neha" she said . It is definitely bad news for me. I can only pray it is not  terrible. I wish dad is here  to save me.

"Mom , where is dad?  you are going to tell me amazing news. So.... if dad is also here it would be wonderful" I said trying to save myself.

"Your dad is in London ". How come I don't know?

"your dad is there to perform  emergency heart transplant for finance minister there" she said answering my thoughts. My dad is one of the best cardiologist in the world.

"That's great mom". Noooo I groaned internally.

"What is the news mom" I asked  in an uninterested voiceknowing there is no way to stop her from delivering the news seeing her excitement.

"You  are getting married  darling. Isn't it exciting"? She doesn't even bother to  say whom I'm supposed to get married. Really???? Exciting? my foot.

"Who is that great guy mom"? note the sarcasm. Somewhere deep in my mind I already know who that is.

"Its Rohan" stating the obvious she went to her room not bothered whether I'm ok with the guy or not.

Present

I came out of my thoughts as I heard the announcement that they are boarding the flight.

I boarded the flight looking for my seat to find a pregnant  woman in her late 20s  and her husband sitting in my row. I went and sat in my window seat.

I hate to eavesdrop but couldn't help but listen to the couple sitting in my row.

"Sneha , how can you forget your medicines?" he scolded her.

"I'm sorry Abhi. But its just 19 hours journey and as soon as we reach we can buy. Please calm down"she said.

"Sneha, without taking your morning sickness medicine you throw up a lot and get sick and flight journey makes it worst. I shouldn't have agreed to send you to India for delivery. Lets go back" he said with full concern.

"Not again Abhi, I'm totally fine. I even told you I can travel alone but you were adamant to come with me. I know how important  this  project is and you should totally concentrate . That's why I'm leaving for India as I need to take rest  and you are not able to focus on work  taking care of me" she said.

They both look so cute together. I can totally feel their love  for each other.

"Excuse me!" I interrupted them.

"I'm Neha and I'm sorry but I overheard you both that you need medicine for your nausea . I can give if you don't mind" I said.

They both looked at me and asked if I'm pregnant at the same time. I couldn't help but laugh at what they asked. I nodded no and said "I get sick in flight journey that's why I carry medicine. You can use for your morning sickness". They both thanked me and took medicine.

I closed my eyes thinking about my life.

 I'm married but can never have a happy life like them . I always wanted 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls. I know having 4 children in this generation is crazy but as I'm single child always felt lonely. That's why I decided to have 4 children  and happily settle as housewife. But life has other plans for me.
