That Red color for completeness
Being a mother is ultimate happiness, fullness for a woman, a man becomes a father apart from being a son a husband and a brother.
So, Bhavna was all set to give the news to her mother and mother inlaw and as expected they both were very happy but had an orthodox approach towards life. Every day lectures begun as in
• Don’t tell to anyone ( nazar lag jayegi )
• Just eat healthy food
• You are just a kid you should listen to us
• Don’t listen to the doctors much
• Don’t go for regular ultra sounds
• Don’t eat too much…..
In situations like these we have no option but to listen to our moms as their suggestions are ostensible at least according to them.
So, Bhavna carefully followed the DO’S and the DON’T’S. It was all going well. Weeks passed by, she was in her 5th month now . MOMS became more obstinate towards the do’s and the don’ts’. At times it became difficult for Bhavna to breathe in such atmosphere. She had
• terrible mood swings
• urge to eat sweets developed
• Wanted more of fried food
• Wanted to eat late night food
• Wanted to go out of the house
But, but, but.... continuous reminders from her moms stopped her in doing all the above so she started being quite , she confined herself to home. Her darling husband was seeing all this . He took the initiative, met her doctor, seeked permission for three days to take her to a near by place as a change for her. They were out for drive.
She was quite,” he noticed”.
she saw the ice-cream stall , “ he noticed”.
she saw burger king, “he noticed”.
He just gave a cute smile but she could not understand. And then suddenly he applied breaks, car stopped, they were infront of a hotel . She was surprised . As they checked in more surprises waited for her . The room was beautifully decorated. A smile was on her face and he was waiting for it. When she went near the bed what she saw brought tears to her eyes.
• Chocolate ice- creams
• Jalebi, burfi, laddu (sweets)
• Fries, tikkis’
• Shakes specially mango shake
• Chocolates etc etc…..
All she did was hugged her loving husband tightly like never before and cried like a small child . He was relaxed as he could see her subdued emotions out . “She ate like a pig” with tears rolling of her cheeks but of course those were of contentment.
They spent a quality time together . She was buoyant like never before, the kid in her was back. After three days of enthusiasm and eagerness they were back to normal routine. The do’s and don’t’s started again but yes she was normal and took it in a caring way as in love of her moms towards the little one that was about to come to this world and of course they also cared a lot for a wud be mom ..
Now it was the 9 th month, impatience was easily visible on everyone’s face. Whole family was together to welcome the little one . Doctor had told any day, any minute, any second . Time passed as a wink of an eye and a cute little boy was her hands .
She was crying with joy.
Everyone was on the seventh world not because it was a boy but because ....
• Mother was absolutely fine
• It was a normal delivery
• Baby was healthy
• No complications in the 9 months of pregnancy
• Grand moms were contended as their daughter listened to them
• Husband was overwhelmed with joy as he was able to bring a smile of contentment on her face in those three days and it paid him well
• Above all she was happy as she was fine and all were happy
There were no regrets from her side to listen to her beautiful experienced moms . She is a blessed soul with a cute little boy in her life and a wonderful family from both sides.
Believe me RED IS HER FAVOURITE COLOUR.
