Jane looks at her Tommy. It's coming out gradually. It's 3 months already. The drugs are not working as expected and are about to finish. There are 'warning signals' in her body system. She insists on taking the drugs not minding the effects. 'This one will be the 3rd time. How could it happen to me so often? Due to my carelessness' She thought. Still lost in her thought she drops the cup on the table and sits on the chair next to the table. The lady who has been watching her in a corner since she entered the room without her noticing after knocking and no response.
'Jane?!'
Shocked as she comes out of her thought. She adjusts herself 'Kate?' She pause 'Hmm... This must be my mentor, the person I call on phone often, the one I will sit in front for counseling. I am still planning to meet her next week.' She said to herself. Seeing her surprises her. She stood to welcome her.
'Hello Kate' She said 'You are welcome'
'Hi Jane. Worried?' 'Kate replied
'Probably you saw me dropped my glass of water just now' Jane said

'Hmm... Okay' 'Kate said but not convinced

'It's my secretary you spoke with on phone. I decided to come on my own to visit because I am interested in your case. When I saw your file I was a bit confused because of the name and now I know you are the one. My old friend' 'Kate said. 'Hmmm' Jane sighed 'I never knew you were the counselor.' 'I am' Kate said with a smile. 'I took the day off to attend to you' She said. Jane lowered her face as tears rolled down her cheeks, she raised her face and started with the story...
