I PROUDLY PRESENT MY FIRST EVER OS!
'THE OTHER SIDE OF IPKKND'
"Aaah! Oh my god! Aah!."
Beads of perspiration broke out on the womans face as she fought the pain. She clenched harder on the hand in hers and heard a wince as she had dug her nails in. she looked upto see the man reassure her he was ok. She felt the pain receding for a while, but she knew it will be more painful by the next contraction. She pulled his hand and hugged his arm closer hoping to find some relief. Few moments later, she dozed off. The man pulled his hand free slowly taking care not to wake her and moved outside nodding to her mother to go in. he knew she will want him as soon as she woke, so he decided to get things done.
He was frustrated. This is why he had delayed this so much. It took too much of his time and energy from work. It was important that he be here for the time of delivery, he knew his family would have murdered him otherwise.
He took the next call. He tried to negotiate with the production team to finish the work quicker because he had to reschedule the meeting a month earlier. There were three events to be managed. Two being this week and thankfully both were at the same location spaced with only two days between them. While the last one was most important and was being held two weeks later.
Why couldn't these doctors just give a confirmed time for these things!
The due date was a month later and he had scheduled all his meetings around the due date making sure he would be home for two weeks before and after the delivery. The doctor had warned him when he had asked for a confirmed date that these were in gods hands and the delivery usually was 'NEVER' on the due date. He had grumbled about why they called it the 'due date' then!, still he was happy that he had taken two weeks, he had suppose that even if the delivery was a week early or a week late then he'd not have to shift anything, but it had to go all the way to a month early hadn't it? messing up everything!
He took another call from the detective agency. He had expected reports on someone trying to sabotage AR. He informed that he would be not there in person so they were to hand it over to someone else. And he provided details of when and how to handover the classified file.
As soon as he kept the call, his phone rang again. It was from the design team. The main designer was having some issue with one of his assistants and hence the work was not moving. He barked a few things at the caller and solved it. he was tired. Thank god she is not awake, I'll get some rest, he thought. As if on cue, he heard her cries.
She saw him walk through the door. He looked tired.
"where were you?"
"I was just sitting on the couch. You were asleep. How are you feeling?"
"were you working?"
"what?, of course not!"
"are you lying to me ?"
He looked away.
" It was important. Just a few calls."
"But you promised"
"Sorry. No more."
With perfect timing, the phone rang.
He looked over at the caller ID.
" Shit. Baby just this one more please"
"I hate you!
Baby please.."
The doctor arrived saving him.
" Will everyone please step outside? I have to check whether it is time to shift her inside the labour room"
He shot her an apologetic look as he saw that she was in pain as another contraction had started. And with that he slipped outside. He heard her scream loudly through the door.
"I hate you! Aman!"
He looked at the door and back at the phone reading ASR calling. He sighed and took the call.
"sir?"
"where the hell are you aman! Mr. yang just called me and told me that you tried to change the meeting!, how dare you do it!"
"sir wo.."
"what sir sir? Answer me dammit!" arnav interrupted.
"sir..i wanted to te.."
Arnav interrupted again.
"I am asking you a question aman!, or have you decided to dance on my head like khushi."
"Si'"
"you are fired aman! Do you hear that?!"
"yes, sir" aman answered.
"well that is better. Now get your lazy butt moving and call the design team. That moni is eating everyones head. Why should we have a pregnant woman on the design team!?"
"I already di.."
"and when you finish that call the detective agence and get me that damn file!"
"but sir I alr.."
"if you cannot do your job properly next time aman, pleas quit and let somebody do the job!"
Aman stood silently as he knew there was no use responding.
"answer me dammit!"
"when is khushi madam due?"
"what the!, what kind of a question is that aman!?"
"I want to know when you will stop taking your frustrations over handling a hormonal pregnant woman on me!"
"aman, how do y.."
Now it was aman interrupting "I KNOW because the woman I love is right now abusing me with horrendous names and is being shifted to the labour room"
"but wa.."
"Yes she is a month early. That is why I had to reschedule the meetings"
"I am .."
"Sir, It is OK, I am sorry, since zoya is in the labour room, I migh.."
"that is ok, aman. Take your time and relax.
"Thank you sir." Aman relaxed but not for long.
That's all right. I could do without you for one day. You can report tomorrow. Good night. Call me if you need anything!
Aman heard the click of the phone and whispered" tomorrow?. I wish he would just fire me someday!"
I hope you guys liked it!
