“Bricks of a home should be cemented with love, peace and care. Our home is just like that and our baby would fill it with mirth and melody.” Priya’s emotion and excitement laden voice resonated in his ears as he cosseted his new born baby girl. She was the reflection of her mother.
Varun remembered how Priya always planned everything for their baby. Everything was going fine until she suffered from an urgent labor pains. He immediately hurried to his home from his office and then to the hospital.
Her cries were unbearable and heart wrenching for him. Few hours passed like an era. Then his painful heart fluttered to hear the wails of his baby. After that, everything went silent. “I’m sorry; we couldn’t save your wife.” The doctor declared this life shattering news.
He took his pink, soft baby girl in his trembling hands. They both lost their happiness. All the love, peace and care were lost! Lost forever.
