At long last I'm going to push out this baby tomorrow , I have to keep everything in place before I get to the hospital. The baby's room is in place now, I need to get some few other things before tomorrow , everything is happening so fast.

Jalaal!!!!! My water broke! I think I'm due for labor, let's hurry up to the hospital before the pains get severe. I've packed everything I would need at the hospital, just bring the bag so we can leave,the pain is increasing,hurry up!!!!!!!!
Nurse!!!Doctor!! Can someone get me a stretcher?? My wife is in labour,she's really suffering, I need help!!
Sir!! you can't enter the labor room,all she needs now is your prayers.
Ya Allah! I know I haven't been acting good lately,I've really caused Memuna and her children pain but please don't let that innocent baby suffer for my actions.
Jalaal's POV
I haven't been so disturbed like I am today, the only time I remember being so worried was when Memuna's was about to be married off to the Governor's son. I was so scared because i just couldn't imagine my life without her but I now treat her like she doesn't matter. Hey!!this is not time for this,my wife is pushing out my son in there.
I've recited almost all the Surahs in the Quran, I know I haven't been acting well lately but my son shouldn't suffer for my actions.

Doctor!! I know it's a boy this time around so I need not to ask , I just wanna know how they are, are they fine???
Yess, they're all good, the nurses are cleaning the mother and baby up so you can see them right after.
Rukaiya!!! How are you feeling??? You look very tired, it wasn't an easy battle I know, I'm proud of you,thanks for giving me my heart desire.
Can I carry him??? Oh sure but be very careful because it's too tiny and fragile. Don't hold him that way!! Do you wanna break his neck????
I'm sorry !!I'm overwhelmed that ion know how to carry him, he looks much more like me. I will name him "Rahman" , that's the name I had always wanted to give my son.
Few weeks later
I have a new born to take care of and you expect me to do the house chores? Ion need the service of a made when I have an energetic husband that can do literally everything.
Me?? You want to turn me into your made? You do nothing in the house all in the name of " I'm taking care of a new born "
I clean the house, cook for you, do the laundry and run errands for you before I go to work every day.
You don't even care about the baby,all you do is to paint your nails and give orders.
I'm your husband not your house boy for crying out loud, I need to be free too.
Are you complaining??? Do you think it's easy to carry a baby for 9 months??? Not to even talk about the stress I went through during later . I'm not ready to exchange words with you, I wanna have yam porridge for supper,I'm not going to eat the food when it's past 6:30, don't keep me waiting.
Jalaal's POV
It's too early to start regretting, ion like how she treats me though but she's fulfilled my heart desire so I'm willing to endure.
I just don't get things, it's been almost 6 months since she delivered but she still does nothing at home. She expects me to even wash the plate she eats in, I give the baby a bath, feed him and rock him to bed. All she do at home is to give orders, give worse compliments about my cooking, shout at me and go to bed.
I had no son with Memuna but I was always at peace, I now have a son but my mind is always troubled.
Jalaal!!! Come check on your son,he's crying, I'm painting my nails so I can't carry him.
Ruki!! Are you serious??? Your nails are much more important than your son????
Stop asking me stupid questions and do your duty as a father, anything you do with your son is your business not mine.
Just carry him out of my sight, I don't wanna be distracted when watching my favourite tv show, don't forget to change his diapers too.

Rukaiya's POV
I wish this baby never existed, I can no longer live my normal life because I have a baby, I have missed a lot of parties because of him and I'm not ready to miss more. Jalaal wanted a son and I've given him one so he has to play his role as a father, I can't be the only one to suffer with this baby.
I can help out a little when I have time but I'm not going to be responsible for the taking care of it.
I stopped breastfeeding him after one month because ion want a sagging breast, I need to maintain my body and look good. Those babies that are being fed with artificial milk still look healthy and strong so mine won't be different.
