Reflections on fatherhood
A girl was pregnant, she informed her
husband on phone while she was made to stay at her parents
place due to inlaws problems, hey I`m pregnant, it was
moment of joy, excitement, suddenly the man who was
not even able to connect to his wife due to his dominating
& ever hovering over mother became a true man somebody
his wife carved for him to be..hey you don`t mention
anything to anybody as yet I`ll inform my mother you
don`t-girl pleaded knowing her totally non-supportive
inlaws-she`ll be blamed-but he insisted-as usual she
waited, had faith on him as everybody preaches in India
for girls to, No phone call came, agin she waited no
phone call came, she called, hey what happened...oh
I was buisy he said, but she knew him, his mother could`nt
allow him the liberty of being father which will take
hi out of her hands. Hey I want to come back to my house-he
said why- she was shocked. Eventually she went-pleaded,
cried & apologised to her mother-in-law for being
pregnant without her permision. Fifth month of pegnancy
even after regular requests & pleading none neither
her husband or her inlaws were ready to take her to
a gyno-with reason -in our family ladies used to go
to gyno`s only at the time of delivery-girls parents
intervened-please let us take our daughter to a doctor-They
were told, Do that & then you can keep your daughter
with you for whole of her life-in the meanwhile suddenly
one day when her mother-in-law was screaming & abusing
her for not taking care of the house & not doing
household work, due to all this pressure bleeding started,
eventually with bessings of god, somekindness was showered
on the giirl & she was taken to a doctor-where first
thing she was asked by the doctor-Are you illeterate?
uneducated? all this time the husband only told the
girl he is """Buisy"""
He went abroad later. Girl was all alone at her inlaws
place for rest of the time. A beautiful girl came to
this world, all healthy & smiling, no her father
was not their for delivery...to be contd.
