It was night between 25th and 26th Nov 2009, time was 1:00 AM. I shutdown my laptop, get to bed want to sleep as much as I can, as per doctor our baby can born anyday. I wanting to see my baby soonest possible and was about to go in dreams when Nidhi woke me up, and after few minutes around 1:30 AM we are at hospital filling form for upcoming good news. Just 10 minutes sleep after a 16 hr long day. Time starts running until they took my wife inside Labour room for final call at 6:00 AM. Suddenly the time stop… we are waiting outside and time was not moving forward.
but at 6:25AM we hear a cry of baby, the moment of joy. The moment no father can forget. Everything was so good, a cool dawn came with the best news of life.
But the wait didn’t get over until 7:45 AM. It was one of longest hour of my life waiting for the love of my life to came out and show their faces to me. The moment when I saw myself as infant again, when I saw baby boy was actually looking at me though for just few seconds. The moment … I cannot describe now.
I am was not sure what a fatherhood is, I am not sure if I am a good father, but all I know I have a good and health son. Me and my wife were expecting to have a girl baby based on what happen during this 9 months and our cultural believes on those “happenings”. But boy proves it, whatever you plan or you believe you cannot go beyond your own limits as human.
But who cares of those stuff, My kid is here with his family. This Grand parents hold him as first person to touch our kid in family. He is so lucky to have that moment in his life. My brother and bhabhi and my niece and nephew all are excited. Our almost perfect family is now the perfect family, with my parents, my brother and his kids and now my kids are all living together. No money can buy me this, no one else can steal this moment from me now. It was great day to bring more happiness in my life.
God Bless us!!!
