The date - Nov
19th 2011 - My wife says I am damn good with dates!!! :P
The time - ~ 6AM
As most normal ppl, at 6 AM, I was still sleeping, when a
sudden shriek woke me up - with a start!!! My wife with all her animated self-came
running towards me, like a brakeless metro water lorry!!!
A short backtrack - few months ago, we had a biig(but small)
disappointment - a chemical pregnancy, with missing out
wat we were expecting but a whisker. We were almost thr, but ended up not being
thr!!! I would not go inside the incident. That incident had caused the
expectations on us to be bigger...
Now back on track, guess, the diary milk ad did not exist
back then, but am sure my wife would have wanted to tell "Balu, mujhe kuch
khatta khane ka man karta hai". All emotions slowly "bottle necking
up"!!!
Even today, she asks me how I felt at that particular time..
I honestly felt "numb" - with wat?? The news? Sleepiness?? I still
have no idea, guess it took a lot of time to sink in, but like a cow, I ate it
slowly, digesting it bit by bit..
But, there was a catch, can we risk telling our parents
again about this? After what happened just a few months ago?
The date - Nov
21st 2011
Two important things happened on this day. One, we bot one
of the most important investment of our life, other, she messages me
"Booked doc's appointment on Dec 1st :)"
At that moment, I clearly felt like am back in college.. Not
telling something to parents, having secret message exchanges, having even more
secret calls(this being in the same home)... It was clearly the start of
something big..
The days between Nov 21 and Dec 1 were full of mixed
emotions. One, we are extremely happy, excited that something new, something
huge, something extraordinary was gonna happen. Two, we were extremely
frightened. What would happen if it was jus like the earlier one? Would it jinx
if we told someone else? Would others be disappointed like last time, when/if
it happened agian?
We a few heated discussions, of when to tell our parents,
how to tell them, whom to tell first, etc. Finally, we decide upon that we go
tro the Dec 1st checkup and then tell our parents, and not any later (We much
later agreed upon that it were the best decision).
Parents here means siblings too, as they being one big
pillar of support on our rainy days.. I remember trying to call my bro and he
returning my call - in the middle of the nite... :P :P
End of part 1 - part 2 coming up..
