A Typical Indian Girl

Epilogue

Advika's pov:

It's been 2 months. I feel completed.  I miss my baby. I need to move on, but it's hard.

  I started to feel sick. I didn't get my periods for this month. I have a doubt. I like to be clear. I fetched the pregnancy kit from the nearby medical shop.

I'm waiting to see the result. I turned the kit to see the result. My eyes welled up by seeing the result.  I am going to be Maa. My baby, I will take care of you and protect you.

Karan returned from his work. He started to learn Malayalam. I'm happy for him.

"Karan, I'm.. we.. huh.." I don't know how to say.

"Whay happened ,Secret?? You are worrying me." He cupped my face and wiped my tears.

"These are happy tears ,Karan.

"You are going to be papa." He hugged me.

"Thank you, love. I think my boys have done their job well."

"Don't you have shame?"
He started to laugh. I love his laugh.

The next day.

We visited the gynecologist. She started to apply the cold gel on my stomach to scan our baby. We saw the monitor.

"Congratulations. Your babies are healthy."

I'm so happy I'm going to be Mama. Wait a minute, did she say babies in plural.

"Babies?" Karan questioned.

"Yeah, guys, you are having triplets, which is a rare scenario in India.  You need to take care of yourself. Because you are carrying 3 babies. Come for the check-up regularly. Normal delivery will be rare in your condition. Mostly, you might undergo surgery. Take care, guys. See you at your next check-up."
We bid the doctor and returned home. We both are on cloud nine.

He becomes extra careful for the next nine months.

He tolerated my mood swings. Full filled my cravings. Ma came to India to take care of me. Karan started to work because Ma is taking care of me.

Ma is happy that she is going to become grandma. She said she would return after they turned three. I'm happy that my ma will be there for me.

My surgery is given at the end of this month, which is after 10 days. I'm waiting for my babies.

Karan applied for leave for 3 months so he could take care of me. The college accepted his request because they didn't want to miss the extraordinary professor. I'm happy for him.

Now I'm sleeping beside him by hugging his sides. He is sleeping peacefully. But I'm admiring my love.

I'm feeling uneasy.  A strong pain from my stomach made me scream.

"Ahhhh...." Karan woke up because of my scream.

I can feel the liquid between my legs. My water is broken.

"Secret!! What happened??" Karan asked, worried. After he found the leaking of water between my thighs, he understood. He carried me in the bridal style and rushed towards the hospital.  Ma told him that she would collect the necessary items for me and reach the hospital.

The doctor is shocked because I'm going to give natural birth.

She allowed Karan to stay inside the theater because it's rare in India, where the husband stays with his wife during labor.

I squeezed his hand because of the pain. But he is not affected because he doesn't feel the thing. His eyes are filled with tears.
He can't able to see me suffer.

After 2 hours of suffering, I can hear a scream. 2 to go. God give me energy.

After 1 hour, the next  baby came out . The nurse started to clean the babies. After an hour, my last baby was born. I started to close my eyes. I feel too tired.

I woke up and saw my ma crying while holding my baby, whereas Karan was holding another baby. The last baby is inside the crib near my bed.

Wait a minute. I didn't know about the gender. And the order from older to younger.

Karan replied, the questions flowing in my mind.

"Don't worry,  Secret.  I would explain.
The baby ma is having was the older boy baby. I'm having our 2nd baby boy. The crib beside you has our younger one and our princess. Our boys are going to love and protect our princess."

I smiled at him. After we came to know about the triplets, we started to search for names. We ended with 3 girl names and 3 boy names because in India, the doctor should not disclose the gender of the baby. So we came with this idea by writing 3 girls' names and 3 boys' names.

The doctor asked about the name of babies.
We named the older one , Keshav. The 2nd one, Akshay and our princess, is named Yamuna.

We are a complete family that is full of love.
