The Only String Attached

40

The contractions are breaking me!!!

"Bela..breathe..we are on the way baby..just breathe..",my dad was caressing my head.

"Ahh..no..dad..where is Mahir..I..I..can't..ahh..god",I started crying.

"Bela I'm here...you will be fine..just breathe.Vish take care of Mahira,don't get to the hospital till I call you.Bela come..",Mahir said lifting me in bridal style.

"Mahir...Mahira...Mahira..",I was barely breathing.

"She will be fine baby..you don't worry,Yuvi hurry up",Mahir said getting into car with me.

My dad and Mahir were sitting beside me,rubbing my palms.

"Ahh...dad...its paining..haa..Mahir",I was yelling.

"Bela please don't scare me",Yuvi said driving the car.

"We are on the way Bela..just breathe..you will be fine,our baby will be fine",Mahir said rubbing my belly.

My contractions were getting stronger
"Ah...Mah...I..it's hurting",I yelped.

Soon I was laid on the stretcher and was on my way to the OT.

"Bela it's time,you and baby both are healthy.Just push the baby out",Polo aunty said.

"Where is Mahir...I want him here..I..need  him",I yelled in pain.

"Ya I will call him..you try to push",she said.

"Mahir..",I cried when I saw him.

"I'm here Bela...I'm here..push baby..I know you can make it..just push",Mahir said helding my hand.

"Bela..I can see the baby's hair...just push",Polo aunty said.

"Ahh...mhmm..ahh..uff..aha..god",I was pushing, feeling like breaking each and every bone.

"Ahh..I can't..it's hurting..I can't",I was giving up.

"Bela that's our baby..you can do it..come on push baby",Mahir said caressing my head.

"Bela..just one last push and you will see your baby.Come on..one last push",Polo aunty said.

"Ahh...ahh...no..ahh",I pushed hard and I felt hollow suddenly.

I heard a sound of my baby crying and I blacked out the next second.

MAHIR

I was stilled in my place when I heard the baby crying.I glanced towards Polo aunty,helding my baby in her arms.

"It's a baby boy.Congratulations Mahir",she said showing me my baby who was covered in blood.

I kissed Bela's forehead and took my baby in my arms.This feeling was never felt before.

Bani had a C section,I couldn't hold Mahira when she was born.But I'm holding my second child after his birth.

My eyes pooled with tears and I kissed my baby boy on his little forehead
"Welcome to the family my boy".

"Aunty..Bela?"I asked feeling worried.

"She will be fine Mahir,she just gave birth.I gave her some sedatives.Now give me the baby,I need to do some tests and give him a bath",she said taking my baby from me.

I gave her my boy with uttermost care.It just felt like yesterday,carrying my little Mahira in my arms...and today one more addition to my happiness.

I came out of the ward and saw my dad,Bela's dad and Yuvi waiting for me
"It's...it's a baby boy..my boy",I said giving a smile.

I was caged in their bone crushing hug,my happiness was flowing out in the form of tears.
