Chapter 34

Suddenly Sanskar got up from her side and covered his nose: "You stink Swara, you need a bath. Come on, I will help you bath."

That was the only distraction Sanskar could think of at this time.

"Get ready," he said. "I'm going to get a fresh basin of water and some towels."

He entered the bathroom without looking back and spent over half an hour inside there.

Swara wondered what he was up to. It shouldn't take him that long to get a basin of water.

Finally, he came out.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

He sat beside her on the bed and dipped the towel into the basin. He squeezed it and rub her hands with it. He did same for her face, neck and feet. He continued until he was convinced she was now clean and fresh.

Through it all, he never for once tried to make advances at her. He behaved like a complete gentleman and didn't even let his touches linger a minute longer than necessary. Having finished with that, he stood up with the basin in his hands and walked in the direction of the bathroom.

"I will be back soon." He told her as he entered the bathroom again to put down the basin of water and the towels.

Swara patiently lied on the bed as she waited for him

He spent another half an hour in there. When he returned, Swara was soundly asleep.

He looked at her face, peaceful in sleep and smiled to himself: "While I was inside struggling to control myself, you are also here peacefully sleeping."

The day for Swara to be discharged finally arrived.

She had been able to regain some amount of her strength back. But she still needed to get more rest and sleep. With the baby in Sanskar's hands, they walked down the staircase into the parking lot. There, Sid was waiting for them with Sanskar's car.

Sanskar usually liked to drive himself, but this time around, he allowed Sid to take the driver's seat.

Carefully, he guided Swara into the back seat, then used the other door and joined her. Having finally settled in, Sid started the car and they drove off. Immediately, the baby started to cry. Swara was also too weak and exhausted to try comforting the baby. The baby wailed and wailed and wouldn't stop. Sanskar did all he could but the baby just wouldn't stop crying. Having exhausted all his options, Sid in the driver's seat said "Give the baby to me Sanskar, he probably doesn't like you."

"Nonsense!" Sanskar retorted, "How can my own son not like me? If you think you are so good with babies, there you go, give it a try."

As soon as Sid took the baby into his arms, he stopped crying. Everyone was astonished.

"You see, I told you so! Sid couldn't help laughing at Sanskar.

"Well, this is just a coincidence," Sanskar said. "It's because the baby was already very exhausted from crying when I handed him over to you. That's how come he's finally quiet now."

"Here, hand him over to me."

Immediately the baby was handed back to Sanskar, he started crying again. Out of frustration, Sanskar gave the baby back to Sid. The baby probably didn't like him after all. The rest of the drive back home was uneventful.
