The children lay huddled in a corner under a single quilt while she sat on the bed with the baby near her --they were wondering at her quiteness why was she not responding ?not even to the gurgles of the baby ? but she knew ,one look at the infant and her self control would shatter--she had ears only for the 'silence within her' and it was broken by the screeching sound of a car, announcing THEIR arrival--- picking up the baby she went out and handed her over to THEM, not even once looking up afraid that her tears would not hold themselves --she then returned with the payment ,and shutting the door behind her she broke down clutching those kids for whom she had 'rented her womb'.
Sad but so true :(
