Our Little Angel

1

I came home early today because my dearest wife was not feeling so well in morning... I was so worried for her... so completed my office work as soon as possible only to come home early to take care of her... 

But to my shock my dear wife who is six months pregnant was running behind the little boy, adi, who is the son of our neighbour was the scene in front of me when I entered to the house...

She has totally forgot she is pregnant and carrying a baby in her tummy... how can she run like this in this state... I am here worrying as she was feeling somewhat tired in morning... but here in evening she is running here and there like a five years old little child...

At once I lost all my patience seeing her running on stairs too... what if she fell down...

"Pragya..." I almost shouted.

She looked at me with surprise as well as shock because I am early to home today... but as soon as she has seen my face she got that I am in full anger... she looked at me innocently and looked down...

"What are you doing pragya..??? Did you forget that you are pregnant... In morning you was feeling tired... and I was so worried for you... so came home early... only to see you are playing like a baby... why can't you listen to me once...

Look at you... you are going to become a mom... how can you run like this... what if you fallen down... how many times have I said take rest without making yourself stress... but you..." I know I am tough... but still its not my anger but care for both my wife and child...

"I am sorry..." she said to me looking at me with a cute pout...

"Go to the room now it self..." my all anger went away seeing her cute face but still I became somewhat strict... because I don't want her to repeat this... but am I that rude... she went to the room with tear filled eyes... I know I have never shout at her like this... always as soon as I came to home I will give a kiss... but today I scolded...

"Abhishekkkk...." ohhh nooo... mom she has listened to all... now I will get a good lecture for scolding her lovely daughter in law...
Then only I noticed adi is standing behind my mom by looking at me with a feared look...
I think this time my anger went out of control... why didn't I stop her by love instead of anger... but how can I... as a husband, as a father they are my life... how can I be in control by seeing they are in danger...

Mom is scolding me continuously while I am struggling with my heart and mind to prove that my actions were not wrong... but at last I came to a conclusion by hearing ma...

"Abhishek... how can you scold her like that... look now she is crying... don't you know its not good for her to be worrying... and what mistake she has done... you are shouting like she ran a marathon... she is a responsible mom... she know how to care for her baby... she was just walking not running and what's wrong in that... she is pregnant and that doesn't mean she need to be stay on bed for all day..."

"But mom she was not well and feeling tired in morning... so..." I still tried to justify my actions... but now my heart too saying how can you scold like that to her...

"So what...???? She was feeling restless in morning its quite normal in this period... and after taking a small nap in morning she became fine... I said it to you when you call me afternoon... and I am the one who brought adi to here... because by playing with him she will feel good... look how happily they were playing... and did you see she is not well that time... but now what have you done... you made both of them upset...
Now... now itself go and say sorry to her... and make her convince... I am going to drop adi in his house... when I come back she must be okay... or else you won't get your dinner tonight... not evening snacks and tea too..."
