COMFORT SHE CHOSE - A Short Tale

She was exhausted, her frail limbs trying to find a place to station down herself.  Her dizzy mind rehearsing those questions, she faced this morning.    
“Aren’t you aware about terms and conditions, how could you adopt a child, while you’re single”
“You mean to say, I have to adopt a man first, to enjoy motherhood” she roared.
They didn’t reply, just asked her to sign some more papers. Pain was dangling on her eyelids. In her late thirties she has no more comfort left as tea, she sipped a bit and became ready for another fight.
