Life and Its Twists (Completed)

Prologue

Thunder and storm made itselfs know on this dark night. 

There was cool air all around, it was that climate which actually inspires people to listen to mushy songs and dream about their future  but this particular stormy night changed a lot of things for one particular woman Lehar.

She lay on the bed of the hospital with her hand pricked and prodded. An IV running through her arms as she rested uncomfortably on the bed while she shivered because of the cold. She heard a wail in distance and thought for a second that she was dreaming.

She slowly opened her eyes and the cries got stonger and the reality seeped through her. She wobbled when she tried to get up but she still got up sitting straight, staring at the baby in the cradle beside her.

The little hiccupy cries filled her with strange determination and although it pinched her she unhooked the IV and walked close to the cradle and stared at the few hours old bundle of joy, her infant daughter Pihu 

She picked her up and held her close to her own body, giving the baby all the warmth she needs while the baby slowly calmed down feeling a warm hug from her loved one. Lehar, smelled the baby in her arms feeling her motherly instincts kick in when a loud thunder made its way in the dark sky and promised the baby, talking to it in her voice 

"I will protect you with all my life, no matter how many loud thunders and crazy storms makes its way to us, I promise you that sweet heart",

Saying that, she kissed her daughter and sat down on the bed which is when the nurse came in and saw her patient awake, without her IV, holding her daughter unsupervised even with her weakness. The nurse chided her for being careless about her health and her pain when the new mother smiled and said "I dint feel any pain when it is about this bundle of joy, I want to be with her, I am okay", 

The nurse shook her head and left after asking her to take it easy while she looked with her mouth agape at the little bundle of joy in her arms, when the baby started crying, probably because of hunger. 

While the mother navigated through the new episode of her life the nurse stood outside observing her patient carefully, a strange pride filling her heart watching this young single mother, smiling through her scars and pain holding her daughter and promising her the world while the mother was herself a young women, scared, alone, in the room holding a hungry baby.

Sighing the nurse went to help this mother and Lehar smiled gratefully at this elderly nurse who seemed to know her ordeal

Later that week, the nurse put the baby bag in the car while the new mother thanked her, took her blessings and drove away with the baby. The nurse mentally blessed both the new mother born recently and the daughter understanding a new mother who was bound to making many mistakes in the new journey.
