The Binding String

S E V E N T Y - F I V E

Our marriage got fixed just after that, since it was more likely a love marriage for me I almost started to imagine a life I wished to live with Samaira and trust me even she was excited for the same. Samaira already told me that she is not interested in doing any kind of job post marriage and I had clearly no issues regarding the same. All I wish to have her as my life partner. Our wedding happened in an year and we shifted to Geneva where my company headquarters were located. Samaira is always been a party freak, she was never someone interested in handling the household chores or trying to be a perfect wife for a husband and even I was fine with the same I have lived in such atmosphere before and have seen girls enjoying parties and alcohol but within few months of marriage I have realised her consumption of alcohol is not normal, infact she consumes more than normal.

Honestly, I was not at all comfortable with her habits and I wanted her to work on her habits. Such fatal habits could cause lifetime damages as well."

"She accepted to leave this addiction after you confronted her?"

"Yes. She had to, Samaira always wanted to become a mother and when I confronted her how harmful these addiction could be, she agreed to leave this. We wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible but with due to excessive drinking and smoking, her body was not in a perfect condition to conceive naturally. After lots of pestering she agreed to undergo fertility treatment but fertility treatment more comes up with disappointment and heartbreaks before gracing you with the child.

I lost my cheerful and carefree Samaira in that treatment, the constant failures were enough to break her and she started to undergo depression. We even tried IUI process but nothing worked. I tried to be best support system for her but how long? I was unable to help her or support her longer which forced her to live all alone with her pain. After fifteen month of treatment and three failed IUI process, we almost believed that we cannot be parents. Both of us wanted to start our family and the situations weren't supporting us. We started to drift apart, the fights between us started to increase which never happened before. Samaira even went into mild depression due to same, and unfortunately I was never with her.

Days started to pass, we already stopped taking fertility treatments and on our third marriage anniversary we discovered our pregnancy. Our children came as a breath in fresh air, Samaira conceived naturally and we were pregnant with twins. It wouldn't be wrong to say that our babies came as blessing from the god, they came as angles to save their Mama and as I expected, our lives started to turn better. This time we both were eager to work on ourselves and make us better only for our babies. Those nine months of her pregnancy were absolutely surreal Raman, everyday was a joyride for us and that's how Samay and Amaaya came in our lives.

She named our son Samay, similar to her own name whereas I always wanted to name my daughter Amaaya. Life was perfect for us Raman but it is well said, good or bad time never lasts."

Raman was frozen while listening Vikram story, the smile he still had on his lips replaced by an unsaid pain. He can see how his lower lips was trembling, he didn't knew what is going to come next but whatever it is, it's definitely going to be heartbreaking for him.

"Vikram, you can leave it if you're not comfortable."

"No! Let it be. It need to come out from my system. I am fine." Vikram emptied another glass of water in his system and focussed his attention back at Raman. "And even you deserve to be aware of everything."

"It was December of 2014 when the snowstorm hit the country, the roads were blocked and people's were forced to remain caged in their homes. We thought that one week would pass without any hassle but our son Samay fall ill one fine day. We have tried all sort of treatment but nothing worked on him and his condition continued to deteriorate and it was enough to panic us. We have tried contacting doctors but no one was in the condition to help us, since our bunglow was little far away from the city the only way left for us to take him to hospital or rescue camp. I have asked Samaira to stay at home and I myself took Samay to the hospital. I thought we would return back safely but nothing happened the same Raman, while going to the hospital a strom hit us causing my car colliding to other vehicles. The visibility was not proper that evening and all I remember colliding against a big vehicle and loosing my conscious.
