My name is Arup and my wife’s name is Sima. After two years
of courtship, we got married and since then we are having our conjugal life
with bliss for the last seven years. But the only thing which keeps us in distress
is the absence of a kid which we are unfortunately not yet endowed with. We consulted
number of gynecologists and undergone with numerous medical tests, but with no
avail.
Once we are attracted with an advertisement in a famous
daily about an infertility clinic which guaranteed with positive results, we
eventually visited there. The receptionist instantly arranged an appointment
with the concern consultant after quizzing me about my financial ability
whether I can afford the treatment, as the required cost for the treatment is
astronomical in figure according to me. I, being an ordinary clerk in a
government department felt pretty embarrassed after coming across the required
fees for the treatment, but surprisingly she told me that they have the easy
installment facility for them who cannot pay in whole sum, which made me utter
surprised, that even in case of having a child there could be a potential
business!
However, I love my wife very much and at any cost I wanted
to make her happy. When we consulted the concern doctor, he assured me that we
will be having a baby followed by series of medical tests and some costly
injections he prescribed. While undergoing his treatment my wife being
subjected to severe pain owning to medication, subsequently conceived which
brought immense pleasure to both of us. We were hoping our dismal days are over
and counting for the final day when we will be fortunate to see the face of our
coveted baby. The doctor ultimately declared about the tentative date on which
we my wife will be admitting in a nursing home where under his supervision she
will be going for a scissoring baby.
We two were literally marooned with happiness as we are
expecting to taste the fruit of our intense love after long waiting and just
counting our days excitedly. Just ten days prior to the scheduled date being
fixed earlier by the concern doctor, suddenly he made a call, intimating us
that he had to attend an international conference which will be held outside
the country and he intend to make the delivery on the next day followed as he
will be not available for the next three weeks. We followed his instruction and
accordingly made my wife admitted on the very next day. In the morning the day
followed my wife were taken to the operation theatre while I was waiting
anxiously along with my friends and colleagues outside the operation theatre,
yearning for a baby’s cry from outside. Every moment seems to be an hour to me!
After half an hour the concern doctor suddenly rushed out
from the O.T. followed by his assistant. Thereafter, the assistant only came to
meet with us and expressed his deep sorrow for us as they claimed that my wife
has delivered a dead child. I was utterly crestfallen for such unexpected news.
My friends and close associates started to console me and blaming my fate for
such unwanted incident! After I came out from such gruesome state of mind, I immediately
enquired about the condition of my wife as I could evidently realize her plight
and fearing how she will eventually cope up.
Time is truly a great healer as in due course of time I faced
the harsh reality when I cremated my new born child, clearly bearing the
testimony of sheer negligence of the doctor or his incompetence, not allowing
the baby to see the light of the Earth, as well snatched the delight from us.
After bringing my wife from the nursing home, I truly felt
extremely sad for my wife’s face revealing the unbearable pain she is feeling. I
don’t know the language to soothe her. I never have seen such messy situation
in my life. I am utterly at a loss.
I wondered how extremes of love reached to such height and that
too associated with immense pain, surely aspiring something positive to gain
and instead of reducing the pain with soothing effect, how greed of business or
love for my by few, aiming to gain profit only accelerated with unrestrained
pace resulted such fatal impact aggravating the pain to its extreme too!
Two polarized love, one for satiating mental peace and one
for material gain contradicted each other with different magnitude and resulted
one to stay while other may experience obliteration! I am now utterly engulfed
with chaos, losing my strength to combat the situation where more love and affection
only required for my wife to bring solace to her mind and bring her into normal
state. Though I am passionately trying to soothe her, but I cannot rule I almost
in a bankrupt state of mind too and following like a mechanical device, a mute
spectator of such grave situation and expecting miracles to bring change to my
influx of life.
