CARING HUSBAND

 

continue ....

 

Anirudh ........

The  doctor  brought me  to a semi icu .....

 

There was but only small childrens.....  she went on , we passed many kids with all sorts of pipes attached to their nose , their small wrists were pierced with needles  passing saline ....  some were infants , some a little older . 

 

We stopped near a glass door , she pushed open and we went inside , it was quiet warm .... so to say a little hot , there was five to ten incubators all lined up , only three of them were occupied , we came and stood beside the one with a name tag ....  Arunima Chaudhary ....  mothers name are used as tag in hospitals . 

 

I saw  a small  bundle  inside the incubator 

Just little bigger than my palm ...  

I touched the glass  

 

" It's miracle ...  see .... ,  she is strong and a fighter , " Doctor said with pride , 

 

Yes , she was  , just like her mom , strong fighter ...   I failed to see my Runi's stronger side , she was obedient to the elders ....  but never bow down , I'm  proud of her self confidence ...  that she handled herself and our baby in this foreign country .

 

Our Pari  was not attached to any lifeline , the doctor told me she will need time to adjust outside and her breathing was normal , ...  a little underweight due to  premature born , but will be fine after a week or so .

 

" Can I hold her ...  please , just for a sec " I begged , 

 

" Of course you can ...  I can't deprive you from that " a nurse came and flipped open the glass , 

 

I  took my joy of life  in my large palms , yes that was enough for her , my Pari ... so tiny , 

 

I kissed her , for more than once in that single minute .... 

 

She was placed back in the warm coocon .... 

 

 

 

I must say ...  I'm lucky , I held my baby , kissed her ...  but Runi , she was still unconsciouss , not all the time but on and off ... she was shifted from the intensive care , to this private room three days ago . I never left the nursing home , never left Runi  even for a minute , Lena comes once in a day and she takes away all the changed clothes , as I was practically shifted myself here beside my Runi . 

 

I called Amar , after a day Runi gifted  me  with this bundle of joy ...  he was exited , but I told him  to  keep it a secret , Neel and Sumit were busy with  my company , didn't tell them either , the news was too much to keep it a secret  still  I want to wait for  a few more days , until Runi comes stable , regain consciousness completly .

 

Sudipto and his wife did a lot , Sudipto comes twice sometimes ,  I was glad they were always by Runi , helping her ...  without knowing her true identity . Suipto asked sorry many a times looking at my condition ...  he said  he would've informed me earlier if he knew it ...  he loves Runi as his own sister , that much I can understand , pooja  his wife comes in the evening time  with homemade food  ... 

 

Most difficult part was explaining to Runi , that our daughter was fine , just needed more time to adjust in open air ...  she cannot get up , even  after four days , Runi couldn't get a glimse of our daughter ....

 

Asking about her  baby to every nurse , everytime the doctor comes to check on her ...  she askes to see her baby and can't stop crying ...  it breaks my heart again and again ....  all this was my fault , if Runi stayed with me , with us , she would be carrying her full term without any complicasy ......  . 

 

I don't know it was Runi's constant crying ..  or my identity , on our sixth day , ie today .... 

we are shifted here in a dorm , it was big enough to hold more than ten patients together ,  but it was made comfortable just for three of us . Our Pari was shifted here , still inside the incubator ... and all immergency help for Runi was  present in this room ...  biggest of all shocking ....was I was given a bed too , not a king size but big enough to sleep comfortably , with double sofa and a television , Runi was unconscious , when we shifted . 

 

 

Runi ....

" oooaaa...  oooaaa ....

ooooaaa....oooaaa..."

I was awake ... hearing a baby cry ... opened my eyes , to look around , it looks different , I saw Anirudh approach ....  these days I see too much of him .... what was he doing here for so long Anu will be worried that I snatched her lover ... her husband whatever ...  I don't want to come between them ...  my time as his wife is over and the sooner he leaves ,it will be better for us , my baby and me . I don't talk to him ... he was doing all the talking and even changing me , giving me goosebumbs , touching me everywhere ...  not even ashamed to clean my private parts ...  squeezes the extraa milk as my baby cannot have much , feeds me healthy soups ... kisses my forehead telling me only good things , which I know , will come to and end soon as he will leave me again for her .....

 

" oooaaa...  ooo aaa....    again crying ... 

 

I feel pathetic , can't even sit upright , if not mistaken its been  a week ... I gave birth to a baby , but she was staying without me and I was crying  day and night for her ...  even feeding was done in her own cubicle , nurse collects my milk  for feeding her  . I'm dying to see my baby ... want to see her hold her ....  tears are my only friend these days they are always with me . 

 

" Runi ... " Anirudh was standing close to my bed , due to tears , I couldn't see what he was carrying ...  but 

 

" ooo aaa  ooo aaa...   ooo aaa  ,....' I wipd my tears to take a clear look , he was standing with  a tiny pinky bundle ... only her cutie small face can be seen ... I tried to sit up but sill very difficult ...
