Part XCV

It was March 5^th 2011. Geet was 33 weeks pregnant. Dr.Preena had just finished examining her and assuring them that she was progressing well, she said that she would like to perform the caesarean section on her the following Friday i.e., March 15^th when she would be a little over 34 weeks pregnant. She explained that although normal pregnancies last for 38-40 weeks, multiple pregnancies are usually delivered before the full term gestation as it is difficult, although not impossible, for the mother to carry the babies for the entire term. The babies may have to be kept in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for a while before they are declared fit to be taken home.

As the d-day was fast approaching both Geet and Maan were extremely nervous as well as excited. Geet was tempted to ask the doctor to get the babies delivered on that day itself as she wanted to be freed from the huge burden she was carrying around which was wearing her down. She was also subjected to a lot of inconvenience. She had to keep visiting the toilet at frequent intervals as the large and growing uterus kept pressing against her bladder. But then she knew the longer she sheltered the babies in her womb, the less time they will have to spend at the NICU. They will also be stronger and more resistant if they arrive late. Hence she bit back her urge to ask for an early confinement.

Maan then took her to her mother's house because it was Rano's birthday. Maan had bought her a gold chain with a locket which held husband's picture. Gifting it to his mother-in-law he took her blessings. He then told Geet that he will come back in a couple of hours and take her with him. Geet wondered where he was going off, for he has been working from home for the past one week as she was closer to the delivery date. Seeing her enquiring look he said that he was interested to buy a bungalow which has come up for auction on that day. As they would require more space after the kids' arrival, he had been on the lookout for a bigger house for some time now and this property looked good. Hearing this Rano took him aside and said, "Maan, please don't get me wrong. Why can you, Khuranaji and Geet not move in with us? This house is big enough for all of us."

Maan shook his head and said that he would rather have Rano and Anwesha move in with them into the house that he planned to buy. Rano said that she cannot leave Handa House as it was filled with memories of her husband.

"Maan, you are like my son. Can a mother not wish that her son and his family live with her? If you are hesitating because your self-respect would not let you live in someone else's house then I'll sell the house to you. That way all of us can live in your house rather than in mine."

Maan was moved by his mother-in-law's words. She was willing to sell the only property in her name so that he will consider moving in with her! It showed how much she wanted them around her. With Arjun gone, the two women were quite alone in the house. Moreover, he knew she was eager to spend time with her grand children. The children will also cheer up Anwesha who was going through a rough patch with her divorce. He was not so selfish as to hold on to his 'self-respect' when his loved ones needed him. Making up his mind he told his mother-in-law that he did not want her to sell her property to him. Mohinder had gifted her the house and it will always remain hers no matter what. He will move his family into Handa House, to his mother's house. Rano had tears in her eyes when he referred to her as his mother. She held his hands and said she knew how much he is sacrificing to keep her happy and she will always remember that.

While Maan and his family were moving into Handa House over the next two days, Sameera and her parents were moving out of Dev's residence into their own house. Mr.Mittal had purchased the same bungalow that Maan was planning to buy. Although Dev was sad that Sameera was leaving, he knew she will be back in around two months as his wife and live with him permanently, for their wedding date was set on May 12^th, the same day Maan and Geet got married.

With Maan's business growing, he needed trust worthy, hard working people to help in managing his affairs, especially with the anticipated future responsibilities of taking care of three small babies. When he consulted Geet in the matter she suggested Adhi's name for taking charge of his first hotel, the erstwhile Garodia hotel which was also renamed as Harana Hotel. Maan considered it was a good idea and coaxed his friend-cum-brother-in-law to accept the offer. Although Adhi was initially reluctant, fearing that he may not be able to handle the responsibility, Maan encouraged him saying that he will always be there to extend his help and guidance. Finally Adhi accepted the job and moved his family into the flat Maan had vacated.

One week later

It was the day before the date set for the arrival of the triplets. That night Geet had trouble sleeping as she was weighed down by anxiety of what awaited her the next day. This was accentuated by difficulty in breathing caused by pressure on the lungs from the uterus pushing up on the diaphragm. Although the movements of the babies had considerably reduced as they did not have much space to move around, the shortness of breath made it difficult to sleep comfortably. Maan realised her problem and thrust additional pillows under her head to keep her in a semi-propped up position so that she can breathe more easily. He then sang a completely off-key lullaby to her to get her to sleep but it only served to drive away whatever little sleep she was getting otherwise. Geet, however, did not have the heart to ask him to stop singing, so she pretended to doze off. This had the desired effect because Maan stopped singing soon and went to sleep himself.

Geet opened her eyes once she heard her husband gently snore beside her and gazed at his face lovingly. Suddenly she felt a sharp Braxton Hicks contraction. Although she has been having these contractions for the last few weeks, they seemed to be much more sharper, intense and more frequent now. During the contractions, she felt the tightening of the uterus which began at the top of her stomach and travels downward before relaxing. Although these contractions are generally painless, the ones she was having just then were causing her a lot of discomfort making her squirm. Maan immediately woke up, disturbed by her restlessness and was alarmed to see Geet's face contorted. She was holding the front of her stomach and biting her lower lip. Realising that she was having one of the Braxton Hicks contractions, he asked her to get up and holding her, he got her out of the bed. He then made her walk up and down the room till she felt the discomfort subsiding. He slowly made her lie down again, turning her on her side so that the pressure is lessened. He massaged her back till she finally fell asleep.

The next morning Maan escorted Geet to the puja room where Rano, Anwesha and Baba were waiting for her. They all prayed for the well-being of the mother and the babies. Baba wanted to remain in front of their God and keep praying till he hears the good news. So Maan, Geet, Rano and Anwesha left for the hospital where Geet was wheeled into the operation theatre after the doctor examined her.
