Finding the Lost Souls (Watty 2018)

NEW BORN PARENTS✔

A new baby is just like the beginning of all the new things- wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.

Satisfied with the finishing of the work she wiped the sweat from corner of her forehead and sat on one of the armchair taking a cup of tea with her. The room look satisfying, designed and decorated with the way they planned. The ambiance was warm and cozy something which was important for little babies. As she finished sipping her tea, she kept the cup aside and went at the north direction of room, where two wooden cribs were placed, and above the wooden cribs a portrait was decorated to make the look complete.

The smiling faces of her Ishita and Raman along their little Ishayu and Iaan.

A little smile rose on her lips seeing the smiling picture of four, which Jai clicked on second day of boys birth. The arrival of little babies not only brightened the life of their parents but also fulfilled the vacuum which was always their in her life. The vacuum of relations, the vacuum of joys, the vacuum of a family. Her eyes shone as she continued to admire her son who sat along his wife, wounding his right arm around her shoulder with peaceful sleeping Iaan in his left arm, otherside Ishita appeared tired and dull but her face was glowing. The little Ishayu cooed in her arms, staring at her with his doe shaped eyes was the reason of same, the boys were dressed in same blue color rompers with matching baby caps ready to steal everyone heart.

Santhosh chuckled looking next frame at row, random picture captured by Jai when she and her husband were busy in playing with babies. The picture was from same day, she remembered when she came back to Ishita's room from pharmacy she was asleep but both of the kids were awake. She didn't wished to disturb Ishita and hence she took both kids one by one in adjacent room, by the time her husband and Jai came back from hospital reception and soon they got busied enjoying Ishayu and Iaan antiques which Jai captured in his camera. The next frame, fixed at downside was a group picture, all the happy faces celebrating the birth of Ishayu and Iaan, two who became the reason of new hopes and happiness in their lives. She wiped her tears and decided to keep the ceiling lights on and came out from room.

"Toshiji where was you? I was looking for you everywhere....."

"Sorry I was just.....nothing tell me. What happened?"

"The decorations are done. Tell me how's it?" An excited Om Prakash pulled his wife along him and led her towards staircase from where entire villa was visible. The glittering house nothing looked less than bride that morning. The every nook and corner was decorated with fresh flowers and lights. Santhosh smiled seeing the detailed preprations done for the day. She patted her husband back with delight and gestured him to sit at staircases itself to get some breaths.

"The villa looked like a bride." Santhosh exclaimed admiring the decoration.

"The occasion is special as well. It's about our grandkids." Om Prakash hugged his wife making her smile.

"Yes our little tots are going to step inside this home for first time." She clutched her husband arm with excitement. The hustle bustle on ground floor was enough to convey the excitement among the domestic workers of the family. Santhosh and Om continued to monitor the preprations while sitting on staircases. It was just six of morning and their was near about five hours left for Ishita's discharge but the excitement to welcome her was on peak. Santhish smiled seeing the babies picture on her phone and realised how the seven days passed and the day arrived when her all four kids were going to step inside of their house, with some new relations.
