Awaiting A Miracle <3 - AarYa OS :)
As Aarti lied on the bed, her heart raced while her entire body went on alert. Her mind was filled with innumerable questions which gradually stole away all her hope and will. But she knew that she had to compose herself and drive away the fear. The only thing was that it was something she couldn't do at that time.
What if something really happens to the baby- their Aayyu. That would be so painful. She wouldn't be that scared if the doctor would reveal any kind of medical problems the following day, because she knows that somehow, a solution would be provided. But what if she would be asked for an abortion to terminate her pregnancy. She could deal with her health problems or suffer from other kind of problems, but not having the baby at all would be the worst feeling ever.
Curling herself almost into a ball, Aarti tried to push away all the bad thoughts which came into her mind. She couldn't give in. She shouldn't give in, not at all.
****************************************
3 weeks back, when her doctor had told them that she was suffering from some complications, she was taken by panic, in fact both of them were. They didn't waste time in asking for a solution. When the doctor suggested abortion, Yash immediately gave in because for him, it's his wife who matters the most. He needed his wife to have the baby and could not imagine their lives without her. But the look he received from Aarti made him realize that he shouldn't have said that. After all, he knew how much Aarti wanted this baby, which was a miracle for them. Even after 7 years of their union, they haven't had a child yet because the chance for Aarti to conceive was very little. When they came to know about her pregnancy, the entire Scindia Mansion was on cloud 9. However, when Aarti started experiencing acute pain too often, Yash decided to again have a check-up with the doctor. And that was when the news was broken to them.
Though Aarti was scared, she still asked for any other solution after Yash had agreed for the abortion. That was when Dr. Kurian gave them the 3 weeks delay to give it a try. Prescribing few tablets to Aarti, and asking her to take ample rest while having a proper balanced meal daily, she asked them to come back 3 weeks later. If the position of the baby would change, then they might save both of them, though Aarti would still have to undergo a surgery. Otherwise, the only thing to do would be an abortion, and this time Aarti would have no choice but to agree as insisted by the doctor, whether she likes it or not.
****************************************
As she kept changing sides on the bed, Aarti placed her hand on her tummy, which barely showed up, as if to protect it from any harm, though she knew that it would be of any help. She would be at peace only when she would hear good news from the doctor tomorrow.
Please God, let the baby make it. Am ready to do anything for this. Just let it be fine, please, Aarti pleaded silently over and over again as fear lingered all over.
With this, she waited to feel a bit at peace, but instead a feeling which drove away everything but terror – terror for the results tomorrow- prevailed. Even the candles in her room which were burning could not drive away the shadows of her fears. She wondered how long this night would be as she took a glance at the clock. 1 30, it said. Still, 9 hours to go!!!
****************************************
She was brought back of her thoughts when the bedroom door opened and in came Yash, who was all the time working in the study. He was, actually, not leaving Aarti alone as he knew that this night would be a quite long one as she was impatiently for the reports. But Aarti assured him that she was fine and that he should go and work since the following he would be held up with her. After much insistence on her side, he reluctantly went.
But now as he entered the room, he knew that he shouldn't have gone. One look at Aarti and he knew that she has been scared all the while.
Removing his black t-shirt, while having his signature vest on, Yash marched towards Aarti and settled besides her on the bed. Saying nothing, he simply took her in his arms and held her close to himself.
****************************************
After some time, when Yash felt her a bit composed, he looked at her, still keeping her in his embrace and softly said:
"That's ok Aarti. Am here with you. We will get over the whole thing just like we have done all the time, you and me; together, haina."
The moment the words left his words, Aarti looked up to him and Yash could feel that she was calmer than before and maybe a bit more hopeful. He knew that at that moment she needed no one other than him.
****************************************
With Yash beside and with her, Aarti knew that nothing could go wrong. After all, haven't they been able to overcome all problems when they have been together. Still, somewhere, the fear still persisted.
Leaning onto him closely, after placing her hand on Yash's hand which she had placed on her tummy, Aarti whispered:
"Am scared Yash. Are you sure that our baby will make it?" with that she turned towards him with hope filled in her eyes to get a positive answer from him, the one whom she could blindly trust.
At that time Yash knew no more than to reply positively. He himself didn't know why he did that. Maybe, because somewhere, he also wished for the baby to be safe, and he will be safe, he thought, for him, for her – for both of them.
Receiving a positive nod from her husband, Aarti was now certain that a good news would surely be awaiting them the following day. She knew that Yash said that for her, but at the same time, she could feel that even he wanted the same thing, and like he said, even she believed that if they are together, things would automatically fall in their place. Maybe God would bring about a miracle, for her sake, for their sake.
Saying their silent prayers, both finally drifted into a deep sleep, holding each other close, with a hope of welcoming a miracle the following day which would bring nothing but happiness all along.
