The match must have started I thought to myself and then closed my eyes again.Again the pain stuck in back and this time it was more intense and lasted a few seconds more than the previous one.
it might be false labour' I thought as the date of delivery was still a week away.
I closed my eyes again but the pain was increasing with every passing minute.I thought it will pass by after a few minutes as I had experienced Braxton Hicks contractions earlier also.It was better to wait for the confirmation before telling Manik and seeing him in panic mode.
FINAL PART
Finally the 9months had passed by happily.Though at times my pregnancy hormones had really troubled Manik but still he had been an over caring husband throughout.We were expecting our babies at the end of the coming week.
"Manik please lets go to watch circus...Its Sunday today and you aren't attending to me at all" I spoke in an annoying tone as I found me cuddles up in the quilt .It was almost noon and he still didn't want to get out of the bed.
"Baby please..tum bhi so jao naa" He replied lazily " I just want to relax at home.Kya karna hai movie dekh kar"
I bent over him and made a puppy face " Manik , you remember naa what Mom told you" I tried my trick of emotional blackmail " During pregnancy you cant say no to me.If a preggy mom wants something then its actually the baby's wish.And you know mera bahut mann ho raha hai circus dekhne jaane ka"
"Oh really" He turned around and looked into my eyes.
I smiled inwardly as I could see my victory coming.yipee I had succeeded in convincing Mr.Malhotra one more time.
"Hmmm" I nodded innocently.
"Babies want to go and see Circus?"
"Hmmm" I nodded again with a pout and straightened myself.
He got up and rested his back against the bed .
"Mrs. Malhotra" He smiled " Enough of your blackmailing.9 months ho gaye yaar and every time you want me to listen to you , you use the same trick.Hum koi Circus vircus dekhne nahi jaa rahe and its final"
My eyes and mouth opened to form a perfect O.
"haw..tum apne babies ko mana karoge ...Manik Malhotra you have changed so much" I was extremely shocked .
"Nandini yaar...stop cribbing like toddler"Manik was really fed up with my annoying demands " Wo Manik Malhotra ke babies hain...why would they want to go and watch some stupid circus..They would instead sit at home and watch Live cricket match..India vs Australia...abhie shuru hone wala hai naa ?"
And now I got to know the reason for his denying me for the circus since past 2 days.His overly increasing craze for cricket is the reason for my hatred for the game.
"Achha so that is the real reason for not going to watch the Circus" I asked "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you want to watch cricket"
"Nahi...nahi.. baby aisa nahi hai" Manik stammered and that confirmed my doubts further.
"ok then you watch cricket .Niether me nor my babies are going to watch that stupid game of 1 ball being chased by so many people."I turned around , laid down on the bed slowly and covered myself with the duvet fully.
"Gud night" I grumbled.
"Gud night nahin Gud noon siesta bolo" He was more than happy at my defeat " Vaise bhi the more rest you take the better it is for you"
I had this strong urge to give him a harsh reply but somehow I stopped myself.I mumbled curses under my breath and closed my eyes.After some minutes I drifted to sleep.
-------------
I opened my eyes as I felt a sharp current in my back.I had been sleeping since a while now.The first thing that I heard was the cricket match commentary.
The match must have started I thought to myself and then closed my eyes again.Again the pain stuck in back and this time it was more intense and lasted a few seconds more than the previous one.
it might be false labour' I thought as the date of delivery was still a week away.
I closed my eyes again but the pain was increasing with every passing minute.I thought it will pass by after a few minutes as I had experienced Braxton Hicks contractions earlier also.It was better to wait for the confirmation before telling Manik and seeing him in panic mode.
I closed my eyes again but my restlessness was increasing now.
Almost an hour passed and now the pain was becoming unbearable for me.I was convinced by now that it was the actual labour and not the false.
"ouchhh" I hissed in pain as the contraction was progressively longer and more intense now.
"What..what happened Nandini.Tum theek ho?" Manik asked in a concerned tone leaning over me.
"Nooo..." I shook my head and flinched my eyes in pain " Manik , my contractions have started"
"What?" Manik rose up from the bed with a jerk and came running towards my side." Are you sure its not false labour like previous time" He asked in a petrified tone.
"Naa its not false" I replied slowly as he helped me stand up " Its been a while since the pains started"
"Really" Manik spoke excitedly and I was completely stunned at his reaction " You mean the pains have stated actually...You mean our babies are arriving.Oh my god am so happy nandini am so excited ...Oh my God Oh my God" He hugged me excietedly and then suddenly I became all wet.
Manik pulled apart and he saw a gush of water flowing down my legs.
"What was that" He asked as his mouth opened in surprise.
"My water bag bursted" I admitted painfully.
"Shittt ...I'll have to rush to the hospital" manik started pacing the room .His breath was uneven as he ran towards the closet to bring the bag that contained the clothes of the new borns.Then he picked up the stem cells kit from the drawer . I looked at him as he ran from one orner of the room to the other collecting things.Manik Malhotra's panic mode had been switched on.
"I am going to the hospital" he declared as he picked up the car keys.
"Manik" I screamed in pain" Mere bina kya karoge wahan?"
He turned around and looked "Ohh shit I forgot you" he scratched his haed and gulped " you wait here , lemme keep these things in the car and then I'll come to take you"
"Manik" I shouted again as the pain was getting unbearable now.
"just be back baby.." He ran towards the car.
-----------------
"Relax nandini relax...just a few more minutes and things are gonna be fine" He spoke holding my hand as he walked along the stretcher which was taking me to OT.
"You sure Manik...I will survive this naa?Main marr to nahi jaungi?"I asked as I hissed in pain.
"My love will not let you go anywhere" he bent down and kissed my forehead as the stretcher stopped for a moment before I was finally pushed inside the OT " I love you Nandini...and I am waiting for you and my babies here"
"I love you too manik"I replied softly as I saw him one last time before the doors of the OT closed.
---------------------
"Nandini..push...push harder" The doctor said "We are almost there.C'mon yu can do it..c'mon"
I screamed loudly holding the poles under the maternity bed and applied all the force that was left in my body.
Booom...I felt two jerks and all I could hear the wailing babies.The pain was gone instantaneously.
My breath came in shallow pants and a smile crept on my face as I looked at my babies from a distance.
"congratulations Nandini..."The doctor said " Its a boy and a girl.The babies are absolutely healthy."
My eyes welled up with tears ."Atharv and Nitara " I murmured to myself.
"Doctor can I please see them?" I asked .
"Ya sure...They are being taken for a clean up and then paediatrics check up"She said and turned towards the nurse " show her the babies"
The nurse brought my babies closer who had been wrapped in a cloth.There eyes were closed and they were wailed.Tears spilled down my eyes as I saw them. I raised my head and kissed them one by one.
"They look like their dad" I told the nurse and she smiled before taking them away.
------------------------------------
"You alright " Manik kissed my forehead as soon as the nurse went outside after shifting me from the stretcher to the bed.
"Hmm" I nodded and rolled my eyes in assurance.
"Why aren't they getting the babies " Manik stood up and rubbed his eyes.His restlessness was easily visible on his face " I am dying to see them...hold them"
The knob of the door twisted and both of us looked towards it.Finally the nurse entered with our babies.
"Here are your babies Mrs. and Mr. Malhotra" She said.
Manik stepped foward hastily and looked at the babies.
"Nandini...nandini...ye to sach me mere jaise hain naa...Oh god" he gasped.
"Lijiye Sir..take the babies" Nurse said
Manik stepped back all of a sudden .I was shocked to see his reaction and so was the nurse.
"Kya hua Manik"I asked in a slow voice
"No...I cant hold them yaar..they are too small"
"Achha abhi thode der pehle to you were getting impatient to hold them ...ab kya hua?" I chuckled.
"Arrey yaar mujhe laga tha thode bade honge...but they are so tiny mini." He spoke "I am scared...mujhse gir gaye to?"
"Nahi girenge sir" Nurse smiled " Aap haath aage kijiye , main help karti hu aapki"
Manik looked at me and gasped .I rolled my eyes and assured him that he will be able to hold it.
He extended his hands reluctantly and the nurse placed the babies in his arms one by one.I watched him delightfully as he bit his lower jaw while looking at the babies sleeping peacefully in his arms.
"My 3 lifelines"I murmured to myself!
"dekha sir...its not that difficult" she said and went out.
"Atharv and Nitara" he whispered as he bent down and kissed their foreheads one by one "Nandini ..their hands are so small and look at their nose...its so so small.And their ears..."
He kept on blabbering out of happiness as he brought the babies closer and placed them by my side carefully.
"This is the best feeling in the entire world.I cant explain you how wonderful it feels to see them , to hold them.I cant thank you enough for this.You have borne so much pain to give me this happiness and I shall be grateful to you all my life for this" He spoke slowly.
"And it gives me immense delight to see you happy.This pain is nothing...i can go far beyond this just to see you happy" I replied looking into his eyes.
"I love you Nandini" he kissed my forehead.
"i love you too manik"
