Mayuri's POV
"Prince!" I opened my eyes quickly and tried to sit up but eventually failed because of the baby bump.
"What happened, again a nightmare?" Daisa asked me. I nodded quickly. Sweats formed on my forehead.
"Nothing will happen to your Prince" she said.
I nodded in agreement and looked down. Few tears left my eyes. I hope his new wife is taking care of him."You are nine months pregnant now and the babies can be delivered at any time. So you should take care of yourself." She said. Her face looks pale. She was really old, and must be above sixty years old. I nodded slightly and she brought me a glass of water. I gladly took it from her hand and drank it one go.
"Hungry?" She asked. I quickly nodded. She giggled looking at me and brought some fruits. I looked at her with sadness and she smiled looking at me.
She helped me while sitting on the bed. It wasn't very comfortable but one can sleep on it. I started eating the fruits. They were sweet and delicious.
I choked when one of the babies hardly kicked my stomach when I ate a slice of mangoe. Daisa quickly brought a glass of water near my mouth. I quickly drank it and felt like breathing again. She patted my back.
"He likes mangoes" Daisa said. I nodded.
"It can be she too" I said and she shook her head.
"It would be he" Our old argument started again.
"No it is he" she said.
"No it is sh- ouchhhhhhhhh!" I held my stomach.
"Mayuri... It's time" She said and laid me down quickly.
"Aahhhhh it's hurting!" I shouted in pain. My head was spinning.
"Wait let me call some woman's" she said moved outside. I closed my eyes tightly and started to push them.
"Aaahaaaa Maasa!" I started crying, I want to feel my mother's presence, my husband's presence. But none of them was there.
"Mayuri, Relax yourself!" Daisa said, some women came inside, one of them started removing my lower skirt.
I closed my eyes and threw my legs in pain.
"Relax, stay calm" one of the woman said and patted my head with sympathy.
"Umaa go and boil the water, it shouldn't be much hot and bring two white cloth of cotton" Dai sa said.
"Aahhhhh mmmm! Aah help me please! Take them out!" I cried in pain.
"Shh relax, when I will say push, try to push them" I nodded.
"One, two, three… Pushhh!" I followed the instructions.
I tried to push them, but soon got tired.
"I can't…" I started closing my eyes.
"Mayuri, No! You can't do this, open your eyes!" Daisa said to me, but I have no appetite to push. I just want to close my eyes and drift into a deep sleep.
"Mayuriiiii! Open your eyes for your children! Please they are your world naa, open your eyes! You have to do it for them" I didn't understand any word she was saying, my eyes we're getting closed slowly.
It all became dark and all I remembered was him.
"Prince" I muttered. He turned around and look at me.
"Prince I miss you" I cried.
"Mayuri, save our babies" He said and disappeared.
"Princeeeeee! Please come back to me! Pleeeeasee" I cried in pain.
My babies...
I opened my eyes quickly.
"Mayuriii, good, now collect your all courage and push!" Daisa motivated me. I nodded slightly and took a deep breath.
"Aaahhhhhhhhmmm!" I closed my eyes. My core was tearing apart. I rolled my head backward in pain.
"Once again" She said. I again pushed and closed my eyes.
"Uaaaaaaaaa" I listened the cries of my baby.
"Congratulations it's a boy!" One of the woman said with joy.
"Let me-" Again I felt that pain.
"Aahhhhmmm"
"The second baby is coming out!"
"Pusshh!" Daisa said.
"I can't-" I cried in pain, I was already tired.
"You have too!" She said.
"Aahhhhhhhhhh!" This time I pushed harder than before.
"Uuuuaaaa!" Both the babies were crying.
"It's a girl!" The other woman exclaimed. I smiled looking at them.
Those woman's cleaned them and wrapped them in a neat white cloth. They bring them closer towards me.
The boy was just looking like him and the baby girl was looking so beautiful. My eyes became teary looking at them.
"Name them Mayuri" Daisa said.
I looked at the boy. He was yawning. I giggled and touched his forehead.
"Adhiraj Shantanu Pratap Singh" I smiled.
Then I looked at my baby girl.
"Arnika Shantanu Pratap Singh"
"Beautiful names!" Daisa exclaimed in joy. I nodded. My eyes started feeling heavy.
"You should rest Mayuri, I will clean you." I nodded.
"You all can go" Daisa said looking at all the woman. They nodded and moved out of the hut.
I soon closed my eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.
.....
I opened my eyes slowely. But the scene I saw was terrible. I was scared to death now!
Daisa have a dagger in hand and she was pointing it on my son's chest!
My heart beats raced fastly! She moved her hand in air...
"Nooooooooooooooo!"
