So now I am gonna continue this story...
"Pari dear... dont trouble your mom.. baby, just sit down quietly", I told the kid who was jumping besides her mom Samantha, and wanted to play.
Pari scowled at me and made a face. I burst out laughing. My namesake looked so cute while making faces. Her mother Samantha was my best friend.
Samantha's face had become very pale and white as her labor pain had started.
Kartik (samantha's husband and Pari's father) was pacing nervously . he was completely blank and I had never seen him like that. A surge of emotions flowed through me but i managed to keep a check on them by reminding myself that now he is my friend's husband.
It had become very quiet and the only sound I could hear was the slow ticking of the clock and my own heartbeat.
we were waiting for the taxi to come. as soon as it came, we took samantha and went to the hospital.
In the hospital,it was a very long wait... probably it looked like 100 days.. I took pari to the hospital canteen and fed her sandwiches. poor child.. she looked so frightened...she was just 3 years old and was not understanding whats going on with her mother.
and then suddenly heard a infant's wail... kartik looked at me with eyes filled with tears.. his happiness knew no bounds.
the doctor came outside and gave the baby into kartik's hands. it was such a cute thing.. i felt like crying..
then the doctor bombarded us with the News that shook the earth beneath us...
He informed that Samantha's condition is very critical and they have done everything they cud have possible but she doesnt have much time...
"She wants to meet u .. now", he said looking at me.
I foolishly nodded my head. Painful tears were running shamelessly from my eyes and I went inside to see samantha.
"Sor..rr..ry Pari , I deserve what is h.h...happening to me..e..e" she stammered.
huh...? I cudnt understand what on earth is she apologizing to me for.. then slowly the realization hit me and my eyes opened big like saucer...
"hush.. hush.. dont ever say that again.. silly girl", I muttered under my breath...
"I snatched him from you", she started crying.
"no..NO..OOO", I screamed." you didnt samantha, seriously..."
she smiled for a second and then she was gone... my best friend lay like a ghost.. pale and white in front of me.. and I looked like a complete moron shaking her, telling her to get up for her children.
the doctor sympathetically nodded at me.
she cant leave me.. NO.. THIS cant be happening to me.. what will I say to PARI...?She is so small...and the new born ??
My body couldn't take this any more... and with a thud my knees gave away and i found myself foolishly sitting on the ground.
Kartik's eyes were red with tears."Come on sweetheart. its okay.. we all love her. she will be in heaven.. dont cry... pari.. u know I cant see u in tears.." saying this he hugged me...
I put my head on his shoulder and cried for goodness knows how many hours...
I mustn't think of this now.. may be later when I can take it...
we kept he baby's name Samantha.
I used to stay at kartik's house for two months and take care of BOTH THE KIDS..
AFTER 2 MONTHS...
I was packing my bags to go back home..
Pari hugged me tightly refusing me to go away... hot tears stung my eyes but I knew i have to go.. this is not my family and I should go...
"Dont go..." he groaned...his voice was flat and lifeless.
w..w..what...?.. I stammered...
"Please dont leave me and go. we all need you" and this time there was too much emotion in the words.. anger, love, pain and betrayal...
I felt a stab of terror... NO... i have to go...he is samantha's husband and i cant cheat her...
"please.. for samantha.." he begged...
AFTER ONE YEAR....
My husband Kartik and my two children Pari and Samantha were having fun in the snow park...
"Sammy u will hurt youself dear, dont go there.." I told the one year old child... she smiled at me and came into my lap.
It was a tiring day but very enjoyable too.. my two kids are my world now.
. So what if I didnt give birth to them..?.. every time I see them, I dont even feel the difference that they are not my real children..
for me they will always be mine and samantha's..
my kids are lucky to have two mothers who shower their blessings and love on them...
While going back home, my sammy slept snugly curled in my lap and pari was reciting me poems that she learnt in her school.
"thank u for coming in my life", kartik said lovingly..❤️." my darling.. my life..."
" Nothing has changed. " I said ... and it will not...never...
"you wanted a mother for your children and thats the only reason I am here and always remember that. "
