Hah just looked over yesterday's Tellybuzz article. One line caught my attention...I can't explain what it made me think so here's a drabble 😛
Line from the article:
"Pragya will try to convince Tanu not to abort her child as it is Dadi's heir and Abhi's first baby."
DRABBLE: FIRSTBORN
T: I am pregnant.
P: WHAT.
T: It's Abhi's and I can't bring it into this world while you are -
P: EXCUSE ME.
T: I'm trying to tell you that -
P: HOW DARE YOU.
T: How dare I what?
P: We are talking about my firstborn here. There is no reason for you not to bring him into the world.
T: YOUR firstborn?
P: My eldest child, the apple of my eye. Ooh I'm so excited!
T: Hello? I'm the pregnant one here.
P: Yes, and so you have a sacred trust.
T: What are you talking about?
P: Abhi has chosen you to bring our first child into the world. I'd have preferred if he'd chosen me but that's ok, I can accept all his decisions.
T: Why do you keep saying 'your' child!
P: Abhi's child is my child of course.
T: By what logic???
P: I'm his wife, so I'm the mother of his children.
T: ...I'm the one carrying this baby. I'm the one giving birth to it. I'm the one whose blood will run through its veins -
P: His veins.
T: Could be her veins!
P: No, I have a feeling. His firstborn is definitely going to be a son. Unless he has some other lovechild that I don't know about...hmm I better ask him. Unless maybe he doesn't know about it either?
T: Oh hello behenji! Drift out of your fantasy world please. If you think this child should come into the world, then you need to step out of Abhi's life.
P: Why?
T: Because I am the mother!
P: Biologically, yes. But Abhi let Daadi choose me to be the mother of his children, socially.
T: That is not how life works!
P: Arre, you turned down the whole package, naa. So this is all that's left to you. Sorry, didn't anyone explain the terms and conditions?
T: Seriously, what are you talking about?
P: Uff ho! I can't believe he's so irresponsible, getting people pregnant without explaining the terms. That's not fair. I'm really sorry that an injustice has been done to you Tanu.
T: ...Thanks...I think?
P: But nonetheless, now that there's going to be a baby, please find a way to accept the terms. My mother's love won't let you destroy my child just because it was conceived under false pretenses.
T: Your...mother's love?
P: My care for and attachment to his firstborn.
T: I do not believe this! Not only would you accept that Abhi fathered an illegitimate child -
P: Don't you dare use that word about my son!
T: But you'd also force me to have it? Even though I don't want to? Just because you have some imaginary attachment to the idea of Abhi's first child?
P: Oh we're not at the point of force...I think you can still be encouraged, convinced, pacified...do you want to go make some compensatory demands of Abhi? I'll help you, you can have whatever you want.
T: I want to be his wife.
P: Well, can't get you that. I mean I wouldn't mind, but there's laws against polygamy and Daadi wouldn't like it.
T: You know what...nevermind.
P: What do you mean nevermind?
T: I'm not pregnant.
P: What! You can't just say that.
T: Yes I can. I can just say I'm pregnant, I can just say I'm not pregnant
P: Tanu, we are talking about a very serious matter here. The matter of my firstborn.
T: His firstborn.
P: Same to same. Anyway, you can't play games -
T: No, clearly I can't! Daadi won every game the day she found you to be his wife.
P: What do you mean?
T: I mean that any other woman would either step aside and let me be his wife, or step aside and let me decide not to have this baby.
P: Tanu I'm trying to be patient with you but if you keep making threats about aborting my firstborn -
T: THERE IS NO FIRSTBORN. It was a trick. I was trying to trick you. More fool me.
P: What?
T: Go and make your own firstborn with Abhi, I give up.
P: *sigh* I would if I could but that's now how the terms and conditions work.
T: What ARE these terms and conditions??
P: He gets to choose who he'll make the mother of his child. Biologically, I mean.
T: Just...just go and tell him. He'll probably give you what you want. Have you tried asking?
P: For a baby?
T: Yeah.
P: Well no...I don't want one yet.
T: What?! Then what WAS all that we just discussed?
P: If you were having a baby - are you sure you're not? - I would accept it. But otherwise..well I don't think the two of us are ready for a firstborn yet.
T: You are incomprehensible to me.
P: You're really not pregnant?
T: Really, really not.
P: Ok. I better go have a word with him about informing women of the conditions before getting them pregnant.
T: You do that.
P: I'm not really sure I can trust you. Come to the hospital with me so we can know whether you're actually having a baby or not.
T: Probably the only thing I'll be having in the near future is a mental breakdown.
P: Oh no! That's not good! Is that a genetic condition? Is the baby going to be prone to -
T: There. Is. No. Baby.
P: Well we'll let the doctors tell us that.
T: Sure. Fine. Whatever. Anything to get away from you and your terms and conditions husband as soon as possible.
P: OK good 😃
