| 26-12-2011 something unexpected happened. |
The clock had just struck 8:00 in the morning and I was getting ready for the office, my phone rang, it was Anita’s number, I picked up the call instantly. On the other side I could hear her say “Gayathri make it fast to the hospital I am in labor”. Quickly I called our HR and asked for 4 days leave next I called my Project Manager to inform him about the leaves. I packed in all the important things and left for the hospital.
Over there I
could see that Raj was in the waiting area, it also meant that Anita was
already taken into the operation room. From the beginning doctors had told that
she would have to get C-section done. So I did not get to meet her when I reached
the hospital.
My heart was
racing fast, I was worried what would be the result, will it be a boy or girl,
and was praying to God requesting him to give her a boy.
After about 30
mins we could hear the baby’s crying, my heart started to beat even faster. The
nurse came out and was calling Raj, he was not around, I looked for him, and
finally found him sitting near Shivjis idol in the hospital.
Quickly we went to
the nurse, she handed the child to Raj saying it’s a baby boy, “Oh my! GOD is
Great! Really!” Were the first words that came out of my mouth with tears about
to flow from my eyes, I silently thanked God.
The little
bundle of joy looked so cute, though “little bundle of joy” is just a phrase,
it cannot be used better anywhere else, because had it been a girl, she would have
been accepted with some disappointment no more being a “little bundle of joy”.
Just hope, like Anita God has the will to help several other Anita’s out there,
who need a Boy for the family.
