3 The Parents: Introduction 2 (1/2)

The newly-wedded couple were happy living the daily ordinary life. Every day he went to court in the morning and came in the evening all tired. Renu started to get bored at home while Vivek was on the job, so she picked up on her previous job as a teacher at an elementary school in the meantime. On holidays, they went camping, picnic, long drives as they were happily married.

Time pa.s.sed in a hurry and the good news came. Vivek felt as he was on top of the world when he heard that he was going to be a father. He felt as though he was flying on the cloud nine. He was pretty excited to finally be able to complete his family.

With the pa.s.sing time his behavior changed. He became over protective of his wife and the baby. He never let her do anything at home while he was with her. He even wanted her to take a temporary leave from her job because it could be dangerous for the baby.

”What can be dangerous in teaching a few kids? You are just worrying for nothing, Vivek.”

”And I am going to be bored sitting here at home while you will be on your job.” Renu tried to lighten his worries.

”Ok! But I will pick you up and drop you off to your school, daily. Kids are safe, but the roads aren't.” Vivek insisted.

”Okay dear, okay. We will do as you say.” In front of Vivek's stubborn behavior, Renu surrendered with a smile on her face. She knew in her heart about how excited he was after hearing that he's going to be a father soon.

She knew all about Vivek's past, how he never got to experience the parental love. There was no one to ask him if he had a meal or not, there was no one to teach him how to ride a bike, there was no one to teach him the ways of the world. That's why he wanted to give everything to his child what he never got to experience himself.

Time progressed and Vivek was in the hospital with his wife for her sixteenth week check-up.

The lady doctor brought out an ultrasound machine and showed them their baby. When Vivek looked at his baby through that ultrasound machine, a faint voice rang in his heart ”It is real. I am really going to be a father. I am going to be responsible for a human life.” His heart started to go berserk.

”Can I do a good job? I have never had a father and I don't know how to be one. I don't know what I should do and what I shouldn't.” Vivek was panicking inside. He was really nervous this time around. He looked at Renu with his panic-stricken eyes.

But when he saw her lovely smile, all his anxieties flew like smokes at that moment.

”It's alright. We'll be fine.” It was like Renu had read his mind and replied to all his anxieties.

”Baby and mother both are looking healthy and fine. Do you want to know the s.e.x of the baby?” Doctor asked.

Vivek looked at his wife. ”No doctor, we will let it be a surprise.” Renu replied. Vivek was astonished to see that. It was like she had been reading his mind after coming to the hospital.

After getting the date of the next check-up, they got out of the hospital.

”What should we name her?” Vivek asked after getting out of the hospital gate.

”How do you know it's a girl, not a boy?” Renu replied his question with another question.

”I.....I just...know. She will grow up to be great beauty with kind nature and wise mind, just like her mother. She'll be my princess.” Vivek answered.

”But I want a boy. He'll be a smart one just like his father, a kind one just like his father and he will be good looking too, unlike his father.” Renu said teasingly and took a glance of his face.

”I might not be a very good-looking person, but I got the most beautiful woman in the world as my wife.” Vivek replied in a proud manner. Renu giggled.

”Okay we will discuss this later at home. Wait a moment here, I'll go get a taxi and be back in a jiffy.” Vivek said to her. He let her sit on the bench situated outside the hospital while he went towards the market to get a cab.

After a couple of minutes when he arrived back there in a taxi, he couldn't find her wife sitting on the bench. There was a commotion going on in front of the hospital. He got down of the taxi and went there to look.

When he got there and saw what had happened there, his body stiffed. His mind went blank after watching the unconscious bloodied figure lying on the floor with a crying little girl in her arms. That was her wife.
