She lost her first child on the fourth month of carrying.
This time she was very careful. She took ample rest, ate healthiest food, made sure she was surrounded by beauty all the time and watched only humorous movies.
Months passed and everything looked normal.
On the D-day she was moved to the room where she was supposed to give birth. Everything was set. The person inside started giving hints of arrival.
Introduction should be good thought the assisting nurses and called the doctor. "Its going to be a normal delivery as I told you before", doctor assured her with a smile.
She waited, bearing the pain. "Nothing else matters, I want to see my child", she thought to herself.
After some labor, some action scenes inside the room...
The child came out. And he was silent.
Let me digress here a bit.
Do you know why a child cries as soon as he takes birth?
When the child comes out of the womb, his lungs suddenly start working. Air enters into his lungs with a huge force, its a shock to the child. So the child start crying. If a child didn't cry it means most probably he is already dead.
Lets get back into the operation theater.
The child was silent.
"It cant be" she thought to herself. "It cant be" she almost uttered out the words.
Doctor was busy. He was rubbing the boys back. He know he has only few minutes to do something. He did some sort of physiotherapy. He tried few things, also pinched him.
Doctor turned to her, to confirm the worst.
Precisely at that moment, it happened. The boy cried. He took his first breath. He took life.
Doctor handled the child(who is now crying heavily) to her.
With tears in her eyes, she took him into her hands, kissed him, put him close to her heart and thought to herself, "You little rascal, how much you troubled me these 9 months and cant you just take a normal birth without this much drama?"
At that moment, the child thought, "You idiots, Don't I have the right to be silent? You pinched me and now when I am crying, all of you are laughing, this world needs to changed"
At that moment the doctor thought, "one more run for me!"
At that moment the nurse(s) thought, "We are once again witnessing the most sacred, the best moment of a woman's life. How lucky we are! how satisfying our profession is!"
At that moment all the others who are outside the room thought to themselves. "He was born again".
Yeah again. yeah yeah I will explain.
His paternal grandfather, one of the most celebrated in his village, A big farmer, father of 8 children, his royal highness(not really, sort of) used to tell everyone that he has only one wish. He wanted to see this child before he dies. The child of of his youngest son. He hanged on patiently but just a month before our D-day he got a emergency call from the top floors and passed away.
So at that moment others thought, "He was born again".
While everyone was busy celebrating ( out of their own reasons which I just mentioned), the boy slowly entered into sleep with the support of his mother's heart beat. The most friendly sound for 9 months now.
The end, and a beginning!
PS : This post is dedicated to my mom. I can imagine how much i troubled her with my silence during the first few moments of my birth. She is such an innocent woman! May be in a way all the woman are innocent (irrespective of how they act to outside world :P) I am one of the most troubling child any parents could possibly have and hats off to her patience (once again a common woman trait).
Actually I thought of writing this post after a month, but for no reason I suddenly got inspired to write it now.
PPS : Dad recently told me that there are few people in the family who still think that I am my grandfather reborn.
Haha...who wont enjoy being considered as one of the most loved, feared, respected person of a very big family ??
