“Mr maheshwary” swara called slowly as sanskar slept on the couch of the cabin…
He wakes up with a jerk…
“What… what happened? My baby?” his eyes travelled to swapnil, he is in bed sleeping…
“He is fine, relax… i need to go for round duty” she says softly…
“Oh… i am sorry you had to do this… i am here sleeping”
“No its ok... just keep the mask on his nose…”
“Thank you” he says with gratitude and respect towards her…
Swara smiles a little and goes out of the room… Sanskar goes to his baby…
Swara comes after almost two hours… she gives another saline bottle to him… swapnil wakes up immediately feeling something and starts to cry…
“Is it necessary?” Sanskar asks, keeping Swapnil's arm straight as he was trying snatch it away…
“No no… baba” he cries uncontrollably… trying to shove him away by his left hand
“Yes… his body is weak… it's just about few minutes” she cares his face...swapnil looks at her and up his hand crying…
“It's ok baby… just a few minutes… see its about to finish…”
“Na… na” when he can’t shove his baba’s arm away, he starts to hit him…
“Oh baby… please… baba is sorry to give you this much pain… baba is sorry…” he tries to cajole him with kisses… but he was shouting and crying… throwing his legs head here and there…
Finally swara detaches the saline tube… “ keep his hand straight for a few minutes…”
“Hmmm” his eyes turn blurry looking at his baby struggling… from the minute his babies kept feet in this world he single handedly raised them till now… and today his one baby is struggling and the other one don’t know what is doing…
“He will be fine” Swara says looking at his state…
“It's just that… i never feel so helpless…”
Swara opens the door and takes the milk bottle from the ward boy…
“Here… you can relax… and feed him this…”
Sanskar leaves him free… swapnil sits and crawls at the edge of bed to swara… swara takes him in her arms…
“Hey baby… is it still paining… I know it's not…” she coos sitting on bed taking him in her lap… swapnil whimpers and keeps his head on her chest…
Sanskar took his hand…
“Aap gussa ho babase?” Sanskar asks his ever good boy… “baba is sorry”
Swapnil says nothing… Sanskar tries to take him but he shoves his hand away…
Swara starts to feed him the milk… soon his eyes are dropping but still he continues to stare at the woman whom his sister calls mamma… then she is his mamma also… he loves to be in her arms… and soon he sleeps…
