Looking back on that fated day, I feel it was an omen. We first met at a bar, where I was sitting drunk, nursing my bottle of vodka.
You looked into my eyes and smiled, I fell for you then and there. Or maybe, it was the offer to buy me a drink seeing my condition.
Either ways, I had no regrets when I woke up the next morning in your bed, wearing your shirt.
It was meant to be a one night stand but the two pink lines that I saw on the pregnancy kit today, told me otherwise.
This drabble is written for Friday Fictioneers- 26th September for the above photo prompt.
Oh! I was hoping for a beautiful ending. Wait! I still am :) (rather a beginning. But the intention of the ending note I am afraid doesn't go with my thoughts. Well, you never know they say.)
ReplyDeleteYay! Back to back.. :) Keep Writing.
Thanks for reading, Shanx :) Life doesn't always have a happy ending, unfortunately! Ironic as it may sound, I'm a sucker for happy endings but while writing, I always prefer to explore the grey shades :)
DeleteShanx, you are a romantic! HUGS <3
DeleteTime to stay away from vodka, isn't it.. Good one Athira. Wasn't expecting this accident.. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vinitha! Yes, high time to stay away from vodka ;)
DeleteYeah, well the grey shades is what you are good at Aathira! ;) Hopefully the baby won't end up with FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome). ;) <3
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Elly! The grey shades are much more interesting to explore and write :)
DeleteDear Athira.
ReplyDeleteA one night stand led to a lifetime commitment for at least one of them. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, Rochelle!
DeleteNothing in life's an accident ;)
ReplyDeleteSometimes, yes! Thank you :)
Delete:-o Now what will she do !
ReplyDeleteLet's just hope that it's nothing she'll regret in the future! Thanks Anita :)
DeleteNot a pretty place to be in, but not the end of world either. She gotta get her priorities right! Tough but that's how life goes :)
ReplyDeleteYes, she can choose the way her life has to go on but hopefully, it shouldn't be one she'll regret later. Thanks K!
DeleteWhy do we call it a one night stand when nobody usually just stands?
ReplyDeleteI like that this one worked out, though.. Randy
You have a point there! There is no standing.. Only running. Thanks Randy!
Deleteinteresting! such accidents are the most common :P
ReplyDeleteThey are! Thanks Ankita :)

DeleteAw...
ReplyDeleteIs this love or?
Life can really surprise u!
I wouldn't call it love.. At least not right now. Depends on where the future takes them :) Thanks Satya!
DeleteOuch!!! Brilliant take on the topic though.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Darling!
DeleteInteresting...
ReplyDeletethanks
Thank you!
DeleteYou are where you are in Life due to the choices you make ... you want to be somewhere else ... make different choices! Her (cause obviously it is not you ...) evening was a series of choices, wonder what the next one will be. Good post Aathira! HUGS <3
ReplyDeleteThat is so true, Judy. However, one should be ready to take responsibility for our actions too.
DeleteThanks so much! xoxo
Oh bapre... I did not see that coming. what a twist!!
ReplyDeleteHehehe ;) Thank you Babe!
DeleteLike Vinitha said, time to stay away from Vodka.
ReplyDeleteIndeed ;) Thank you!
DeleteHope the guy feels the same way, that it is now time for it to be more than a one-night stand.
ReplyDeleteBut that depends on whether she decides to tell him or not, right? Let's just hope this story ends on a happy note.
DeleteThanks Leo!
Oh dear, I was really hoping the story would end at a good note. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteLike they say, the story is not over as yet. Hopefully it ends on a happy note :)
DeleteThanks for reading!
