She realises that being a foreigner is like being constantly pregnant - which conveys the constant burden  she faces. She only leaves the house to go to the university campus with Gogol. She misses him constantly, when he is at school, because he has become her companion. When she is pregnant again, she is better with dealing with her emotions as she takes care of Gogol. She enjoys hosting Gogol’s birthday in America.
