Future unwrapped

Being born in a family of great believers in astrology, it was for sure that Natasha will have her future foretold the exact day she was born. The good thing about her future was that only a priest could decode the language it was written in by another priest during her naming ceremony.

Natasha grew up in a family with lot of cousin sisters and brothers. She was now a teenager. "Look Natasha, Rhea is going to have 5 kids when she gets married." Samaira her freind has told her during her lunch break in school. With this everyone started asking Samaira the 'intelligent girl' to do their palm reading and tell them all how many kids would they have. "Samaira you are a fool this is all bullshit and nothing like this is true." Jay their freind had said. "Me too Samaira." Natasha too voluntered for palm reading. "You too Brutus." Jay had said with hurtful expression in his eyes. 

The problem with Jay Bansal was that as he was the notorious kind, he had taken his birth chart to a priest and asked him to foretold his future. The news which the preist told him wasn't what he had wanted to hear. The future said that he won't be able to marry because of a particular reason in his life. He would remain single until he finds out the reason himself. "Oh please drama king let us get it checked and it won't make a difference it just for fun." Natasha said and smiled at him. Natasha was going to have two kids according to the great palm reader. 

Jay had already told her birth chart problem to his best freind Natasha and Samaira. For them it was more like fun to tease Jay but they decided they would help him find a girlfreind. So, the interview began Jay had one of those innocent charms though he was a prankster. He could be consider a good guy to date but after the hearthrob of school the gang called "Beast Boys" basically they were the basketball team of their school. Even Natasha and Samaira would have gone for the beast boys rather thqn Jay. So eventually at the end of the school year at the farewell party (prom) Jay had to take Nat with her as bothof them couldn't find a date. Samaira had managed to find a boyfreind. 

With the end of school everyone made promises to be in touch. Everyone had their respective paths to take in life. Waving fun and good life at school goodbye they all split up. No one knew what future hold for them except a few like Jay though he completely forgot about such a prediction in his busy lifestyle of a med student. 

On the other hand Natasha too find out that her passion which was to teach the kids. She loved their innocent nature. She even joined an orphange where she would teach the children. She had always been sad about how these kids won't be able to get a family ever and for all women who won't be mothers. If our damn society could understand the difference between right and wrong. 

One think she didn't knew was that her own life was going to change by just a mere piece of paper her birth chart. According to which it had said that she would not be able to have her own children and also she would be devoid of love from her husband. To be exact this was all she once heard her parents accidently when they were talking about her marriage. She wasn't sure if this prediction were real for her. She was sad about not being abke to bear a child. Though it seemed false as her medical reports had come okay. She did told this to Jay and he assured her everything was going to be alright. 

After a month or so a match was arranged by Natasha's parents for her. His name was Ryan Singh a very powerful bussinesman, with a charming personality. Suprisingly he was one of "the beast boys" from her school. They had met a few times and both of them liked each other so marriage is what comes next. When Ryan had gone to meet Natasha's family he had suprised her by asking her for the marriage and it doesn't matter what happens he just wants to marry her. She felt that all that foretold future was a joke. 

Everything was fine until one night before the marriage Ryan got to know about Natasha foretold future of not having kids. As soon as he got the news furiously he called Natasha "What kind of a girl are you? Such a cheater and a gold digger too." He said. Natasha didn't knew what had happened. "Ryan what happened?" "Well you know you happened and your foretold future why did you not tell me about that." "Ryan you had said that no matter what you just wanna marry me." "Oh please don't you call me ever again." With this he had cut the call and switched off his phone. Whatever he had thought about Natasha wanted to save her parent's pride so she had to tell him that medically she could conceive. She quickly drove to his office she knew at this time at 7pm he must be there. And after 20 minutes she was not just staring at something unexpected but also listening to her own cousin sister Shruti's voice. There she had been watching from a distance Ryan hugging Shruti. "I should have told you earlier that how much I love you." Shruti had expressed her love for her sister's soon to be husband. Walking back away from this place for few reason she felt happy and sad too but mostly sad. She must have started to feel the thing called love for the time. For the first time she got to know what heartbreak felt like. She keep on moving towards the light which was coming towards her and then it all went black. She woke up with a headchache and listening to machines beeping. She looked clearly and she realised that she was lying in a hospital. She also looked to her right and on the stool she had expected him to be here none other than her best freind Jay. "Dr Jay ." She said and poked his cute face. "Well yes patient how are you feeling?" He smiled sadly knowing her true condition. "I think I am alive just my head and abodomen hurts." She said and looked at her best freinds pale face. "You know you met with an accident and we had to do a small surgery so there are stitches." She could sense a tension in his voice. "The truth please ?" She said with a seriousness in her voice. "We had to remove your......uterus. It's layers were severly damaged by the sudden hit." As soon as he said this Natasha couldn't help but feel her tears on her cheeks and then it all came back the yesterday night's encounter.

After one year Natasha has come to believe in her foretold future but she also realised that because of foretold future's scare one can't stop living their life and dreams. So now she owns a small kindargarden school with help from Jay and Samaira, also she has adopted one boy Raksh and one girl Naina from an orphange.

It's been one year since she has visited her family and her hometown. As for Ryan and Shruti they are married now and going to be parents soon. Natasha's parents have accepted their daughter's decision of adopting kids. It doen't matter for them, the rules of society they just want to see their daughter happy. Life isn't easy for a single mother especially when you live in a judgemental society. "Nats, girl we miss you and plus we didn't got chance to meet our grandchildren Raksh and Naina. Why don't you come for Shruti's baby shower ceremony? Aunty was asking about you." Mom has silenced herself after this. "I will come Mom." To be honest Natasha had feared the encounter with Ryan and Shruti. No matter what had happened in the past we all must make peace with it otherwise we can't move on in our life. Natasha had been running away she didn't attend their wedding and also kept a distance from her parents until she was conviced that they weren't ashamed of her.

Raksh and Nandini has given Natasha a power only a mother acquires. She was now a mother herself and she was willing to fight for her kids. As the day of ceremony arrived Natasha drove back to her hometown many things had changed there but what she felt mostly was the people in the party. Not only the people of society but also her family members but she did have people who would never judge her and except her for what she was her best freinds Jay and Samaira, her parents and her kids. She didn't cared for anyone now because only thing she knew was that she was a proud mother of her two adorable kids. She congratulated Ryan and Shruti she did felt a lilttle bad but it all turn out nice in the end. Lastly she had forgiven them though they didn't regret any of their doings. Samaira had already been married to her long time boyfreind and they were planning for a baby soon. Natasha did look out for Jay and couldn't help but smile at his future prediction. She was sure that today Jay would suprise her by bringing a girlfreind out of nowhere. "Oh Natasha it's sad, things that happened to you?" Her Aunt spoke up Shruti's mother she always had a bitter side towards Natasha. "It's okay Aunty. How have you been?" She politely asked smiling and touched her feet and with her two small hands did the same thing. "Well I am good. And look at these kids, whose kids are they?" Her Aunty made sure to dig open her wounds, she knew about adoption everyone did in her family. "These are mine children aunty." Natasha stood proudly though the look people gave her was the look one give to the shamless women.

She never understood why was it so wrong to not been able to have your own child and why can't a mother raise her children without a father. "Look at them Ritu how lovely and well behaved they are." Natasha's mother tried to shush away her sister in law and gave the children a warm hug. "You are right sister the kids are lovely but if they were her own then it would have made a difference. Atlast they are just adopted kids not her own." Natasha couldn't stop her tears not anymore her aunty delibrately were abusing her and her kids. "Please Ritu will you stop.." Natasha's mom shouted a lilttle louder and everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing.

The silence of party was broken up by a question from the innocent kid Raksh "Mumma what is adopted and why this aunty is saying we are not yours?" She feared this question but today she was here to tell each and everyone that she was Raksh's and Naina's mother and even her future prediction couldn't deny it. She bent down on her knees and said clear enough for everyone to hear "You know Raksh Mumma prayed to god to give you and Naina as a gift to me. But like Shruti aunty I wasn't healthy to carry you in my stomach so god told a fairy mother to carry you in her stomach. She dropped you in my arms. I am sorry I was sick and couldn't carry..." Her tears were flowing down her eyes and the whole crowd was just staring at the seen.

Two small hands wipped away her tears and she hugged back her kids. "Mumma it's okay don't cry everyone gets sick sometimes." These were just few words spoken by a little girl but each and everyone in the party felt them even Ryan. "Wait would you kids mind forgiving your daddy for taking this long to find you and your mommy." Natasha knew this voice it belonged to none other than Jay. "Daddy we forgive you." and kids ran back and hugged him. They knew him as uncle Jay but know he was their daddy. "Kids wait mommy hasn't forgiven me I think." He went down on one knee till know Natasha had stood up from the ground. "Nat you know about my foretold future and the reason around which makes my life meaningful is only you. I was looking for the reason to be able to love someone all around the place but you were always near me. I don't know myself what I am blabbering but simply I love you since a very long time and I can't imagine my future without you. So are you willing to provide me a place in your small family." Kids were saying "say yes mumma."

Natasha was dumbly looking at him and then without a word she went to her dad to ask something he was standing a lilttle far away. He was shocked at Jay's confession but smiled softly as Natasha asked him something. Natasha marched back and said " I now know all about my foretold future." "What is it?" Jay asked nervously. "It is with you." 

Though it took a little time for Jay to realise it's meaning and saying "You too Brutus" to Natasha. Everyone has come to understand that a mother is a mother unless and until kids are kids they are neither adopted nor biological kids are her own. Foretold future was right indeed in telling that she won't be able to carry a child but it didn't mention that she can't be a mother it was all her choice.

She knew it wasn't her fault that she was sick. Love was given to her by her best freind. As for Jay's foretold future he just took time to realise his reason of life and after that he would live a happily fairy tale life with her wife. They don't know what would happen in future after this but they will not be scared to live their present.
