Mounamey Aval Mozhi

First Morning

The continues buzz of his phone earned a groan from him as he stretched his left arm to reach to his phone which was placed on the night stand

"Hello" he answered in his hoarse voice and immediately sensed the panick on the other end of the call "Dr.Arjun.. Mithra ku Labour pain vandhuruchu"

"Shit!" he cursed loud and rubbed his forehead and immediately replied "I'll be there in a few minutes" he hung up and tried getting up only to notice a pair of arms clutching onto him tight

His eyes softened at her innocent face as he calmed down for once and heaved a huge breath

Mithra, Pragathi's neighbour often visited their hospital for regular checkups for her pregnancy accompanied by Pragathi. Once after the check up she stumbled clutching onto her chest while Arjun got hold of her. On further analysis it was reported that she was prey to Ischemic Heart Disease

The severe stage of her disease medically prompted her to abort while it was impossible to abort after 30 weeks. The broken Mithra who lost her Military Husband five months ago even before she could share it to him went all shattered when she knew her baby would be left alone in this world

Though there were possiblities to save her during her labour period there was no escape from the welcoming end of her life

Arjun planted a kiss over Sara's forehead and left a sticky note on the night stand before he could rush to the hospital

**************************************************************************

"Arjun" Mithra groaned in pain seeing Arjun rush into the room. Arjun who took note of her condition from the nurses muttered "C-section is the best way to save their lives"

Sensing no movement in the room while scanning throught the report he looked up to find the nurses looking at each other and murmuring
"En moonjila edhuna eludhiruka enna.. Ipdi thiru thiru nu edhuku ellaru ennaye paathutu irukeenga.. Ponga.. Poyi Dr.Vinisha va kootitu vaanga" Arjun spoke calmly yet in complete distress while one of the nurses came forward

"Dr.Arjun.. Dr.Vinisha ipo dha shift mudichu veetuku ponaanga.. Battery dead nu neneikren.. Phone switch off la iruku.." she spoke in a low tone while Arjun stood frustrated

"Then vera yaaravudhu oru obstetric surgeon ku dial pannunga.. She is in her labour pain.. Nama normal delivery panna rendu peroda uyiruku aabathu.. Do it soon" he ordered sternly but destiny didn't store any thing good for them that day. None if the doctors who were dialled picked up their phone worsening the situation

After one hour of struggle Arjun barged through the door and walked along the corridor sliding his fingers through his locks. While closing his eyes one he dashed onto someone and opened his eyes muttering a sorry and turned only to catch the other person's wrist

"Nee farah dhana?" Arjun asked while Farah nodded
"Nee obstetrics surgeon intern ah dhaney iruka?" and Fara nodded again while Arjun without a word pulled her into Mithra's ward

Sweat secreted on her forehead when the nurse tied the scrub suit. It is her first operation and she is to do it without any guidance

Dr. Farah nodded her head on his words and ordered the nurses to arrange for the surgical equipments immediately

Mithra was injected a pain killer making her lose her senses while Farah successfully completed the operation by pulling out the wailing little bundle and left out a huge smile along her breath. The umbilical cord was cut as Arjun teared up when the little baby boy was cradled into his arms. Chuckling in tears he laid the baby over Mithra's chest

"Mithra.. Nee sonna maari un Military ey porandhutan d.. Kanna thorandhu paaren.." he rambled while Mithra's eyes were closed with a blank expression plastered. The straight line running throught the machine indicated she left her son being an irresponsible mother

Farah's smile vanished

Adi was designing using his stylus pen on his ipad walking along the veranda and felt somebody's presemce as his eyes raised up to see Sara and Arjun's Gold and Noodles bending on to Arjun's room as if trying to hear and sense what's happening behind the doors

"Konjom kooda vekkamey illama epdi pudhusa kalyana aana thangachi roomla enna nadakudhu nu therinjuka mundhikuranunga paaru.. Moodevi pasanga!" He cursed under his breath while Raghav and Prakash stumblea as the door swung open on further pressure and both kissed the ground falling into Arjun's room

Adi rushed to take a look at them and found them rubbing their nose. He sighed and went in to take a look at his brother and sister-in-law only to find Sara curled up on the bed unchanged in her saree

He turned towards the night stand and reas the sticky note which read

Sorry for disappointing you not being by your side especially after our First Night.. It's an emergency and I had to leave.. I am really sorry Sara ma!

With Love
Un Juneyy ❤️

Adi sighed and pulled Raghav and Prakash before the create a ruckus and disturb Sara

"Dei.. Onnumey nadakala polaye maapla" Raghav whispered only to surrender to Adi's glare "Annanu thambiyu orey maari moraikraanunga paaru.." Raghav thought

"Dei.. Raghava.. Ulla papa va paatho seri.. Aana maapilaya paatha maariye illaye da.." Prakash asked while Adi intervened "Avan bathroom la irundhan.. Naa ipo dha pesitu vandhen"

Arjun leaving for an emergency in midnight or early in the morning isn't something new. But he was married the previous day and him leaving the house at midnight now would definitely be awkward or more precisely would earn not so Good looks

"Anna.. Vara late aaguma" while silence was the answer he received
"Anna.. Patient epdi iruk__" "Mithra erandhtaanga Adi" Arjun chocked while Adi stood trying to process what Arjun said

"You stay.. Naa anga varen" Adi muttered before hanging up and turnesd to find Sara standing behind him

"Sara" he muttered while her calm and composed look convinced him she wasn't mad on Arjun's absence

"Velila Polam.. Ready aaguriya"
