Singapore! My dream holiday destination! Sun had set in splendour and I was soaking in exhilaration.

“Two X Chromosomes” ; the nurse exclaimed; her face taut and pale. “Get ready and we will get over this in a few minutes.”
Fear and trepidation set in; I was beguiled into a babymoon. Numerous feckless attempts to reason out and get over the parochial attitude but it fell on deaf ears. A girl baby was threatening his posterity; “superior sex” could have only carried forward the lineage.
Aghast for a few paralyzed seconds, I, now, knew that it was time to leave the sacrosanct union and stand for the good.
Gingerly, I touched my protruding belly, promised her a life full of love and happiness and trudged out of the room, leaving behind murk and the darkness.
