glimmer of hope.

Chapter 12

Just as she was about to close her eyes she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. 

Reena placed her hand on her stomach and began to groan as the pain excelled. She tried calling out to Fatimah maa but her voice couldn't be heard due to the storms that hit Narachi. With great effort, she stumbled towards the door, her hand still on her stomach and practically screamed for help. 

Hearing her screams, Mallama and a few other staff rushed up to see Reena crying holding her stomach. 

"Ayo naadini Enayitu. Fatimah maa, someone call Fatimah maa"(oh no, what happened) said Mallama as she helped Reena onto the bed. 

A lady rushed to get Fatimah maa who was accompanied by Chacha. "Enayitu maa"(what happened dear) asked Fatimah maa cupping her face gently. 

Due to her pain, Reena couldn't get the words out and gently nodded her head. Fatimah maa smiled as she instructed everyone to close the curtains, "call the doctor from Bangalore." The guards did as told and tried to get a hold of the doctor but the roads were all closed due to the heavy storms so Reena had to give birth in kgf itself.

Mallama hushed all the men outside the room and the ladies began covering Reena's bed with curtains and blankets to give her some privacy. Chacha was excited to meet his grandchild and the news of Reena's labour quickly spread through kgf. 

Despite the heavy rains and storm, the people all still gathered around the mansion, eagerly waiting to hear the cries of their new Sultan or Sultana.

Beads of sweat poured from Reena's forehead as the pain became intolerable. Her screams and cries made everyone anxious. She kept repeating Rocky's words in her head. 

"Come on Reena maa just a little longer" said Fatimah maa as she held Reena's hand, helping her push. 

She saw black dot forming in her vision as she began to feel drowsy. 

The last nine months of her life flashed before her eyes. from the second she found out she was pregnant, her waking up from her coma, her loosing Rocky, her baby shower, everything flashed within seconds.

 She took a deep breath and gave it one last push. All her power every inch of strength in her body went into that push. Reena felt like the weight of the world was lifted of her shoulders. 

She glanced down to see a little baby being lifted up by Fatimah maa. She felt tears in her eyes, but for once they were not tears of sadness but tears of joy. Pure joy that she hadn't felt in months. 

Their little cry echoed through the whole of Kgf and the people began to cheer and celebrate the arrival of their new leader. Even Vanaram and Chacha were teary eyed hearing the sounds of the baby.  People were hugging each other and dancing cheerfully. 

Fatimah maa handed the baby to Reena who carefully grabbed her little bundle of joy. 

" Hi baby" she whispered as she stared into their beautiful brown eyes that stared right back at her. 

She lovingly kissed the babies head and the ladies watched in awe and happiness for their Sultana who was finally smiling after so many months. 

The women helped Reena clean herself up and the storm had finally been tamed outside leaving an earthy scent of rain and grass lingering through the mansion. The people were still gathered outside waiting to get a glimpse of the baby. 

Reena was sitting in her room holding her baby when she heard a faint knock on her door. "Come in" she said and in walked Chacha who was holding a little gold bracelet. Chacha felt the tears build up in his eyes as he saw his grandchild for the first time. 

He sat next to Reena and gently rubbed the babies head who was now asleep. "What's that" asked Reena pointing to the bracelet Chacha was holding. 

"When I first met Rocky, he was an orphan. He had come to Bombay looking for a job or someplace to live. At the time I was working for Shetty and he had appointed Rocky to work for him. That is when I first met him. He was very different compared to the other boys I met there. He was determined, strong, violent, powerful. By the time he was 20, he basically had most of Bombay under his watch. I thought he would've just been a killing monster, with no desire for anything else. But I was wrong".

 "I remember the day he left to Bangalore under the request of your father. That night he called me from the hotel he was staying at. He had told me about how he met his wife and how breath taking she was. I was shocked. I had never heard him speak about a women like that, speak about anyone like that. After that day I saw a change in him. And when I met you for the first time in Kgf, I understood why he felt that way. You made him realise that there was someone else behind that monstrous disguise that he protected himself with".

"So that day when we visited Varca, he told me about how he wanted to gift you something special when you have a baby. A gold bracelet and had instructed the boys to make one for him and he wanted to gift it to you when you bring his little bundle of joy into the world. But he isn't here to do so, but I still felt it was my duty to give it to you so...". He carefully put the bracelet on the babies hand and bid Reena goodnight and left. 

Before heading to bed, she decided to make her way to the balcony and show her people a glimpse of their new leader. She held her baby up for everyone to see and the people began cheering. 

Amongst the cheers, Reena could hear a familiar voice. It was the little boy form the playground. "Naadini now will you tell us is it a baby brother or baby sister" asked the young boy.

 "Its a brother" said Reena and the people began the jump around in joy. 

Kgf had got a new Sultan who will promise to take even better care of Kgf then Rocky did.
