The Right Choice

Prologue

It was October 16th, 1990 and Laxshmi amma was in pain. She didnt know what to do. Nobody was there. Vaishu was sleeping and she didnt want to leave her alone. Her husband was out of town for shooting. She didnt know whom to call. She was expecting her kid only after 3 weeks. She didnt expect it to be this early! She saw black spots dancing around her eyes and knew she was going to collapse. She felt the hall spinning and prayed for a miracle. She heard her name being called twice before falling down. She woke up in a hospital to the doctor's voice telling her it will be fine and that there is nothing to worry about. She wanted to see her kid. She didnt even know the gender. She asked the doctor about him/her. The doctor with a grave face replied that there were certain complications with regards to him (the baby was a boy). She wanted to ask him about it but had no words. She had so many questions but no answers. She was too tired and slept again. Later, she woke up having no clue about the time and how many hours she had passed out for. She woke up to the sound of Vaishu's laugh and her husband's gentle calls. He told her that the mother and the baby were safe and she could now see her son. 'He is the cutest person I saw, after you and Vaishu' he said with a laugh. She saw happiness in his eyes and was eagerly waiting to see her son. A nurse brought him to her and she held the tender hands lovingly and kissed him. Nobody knew then that a rockstar was born.
