Precious day of our life!!!
Precious??? Yes it is…have got some bad experiences on this day..but exactly like bollywood films happy ending, this day turn into precious day of our life. That unforgettable day is 7th August 2008, Thursday, the day (Thursday) always been happiest and lucky for me. So many great things of my life has been happened on this day. Its morning, 8’o clock, I just woke up and got call from my sis-in-law (saliji), She told me that my sweetheart wife Shalu is started getting pain in her stomach. I asked my in laws to admit her in hospital immediately. And I also immediately moved to go to Aurangabad as I was in Pune, Khadki Army unit. My Journey to Aurangabad: I reached at Shivaji Nagar bus stand at around 8:35 am to get the bus for Aurangabad. Unfortunately I missed the 8:30 am semi-luxury bus, the next semi-luxury bus was at 9 am. In between I saw the semi-luxury for Pune-Dhule via Nagar. I was looking for semi-luxury bus because it usually reach to Aurangabad in 5/5 ½ hours. So I thought that getting this Dhule bus upto Nagar is better than waiting here on bus stand till 9 am. That was my the wrong decision I have ever made. The bus was started at 8:40 am from Shivaji nagar.
The bus was having some problem, till Shirur, it was running good, but after that ..ohhh god..the bicycle man was overtaking the bus. The bus stopped at one place for around half an hour, the driver did something, the bus started again towards Nagar. Again after 5-6 kms, bus stopped and stopped for ever. So Conductor asked to us get another bus up to Nagar.
We have got some ordinary bus up to Nagar. As soon as I got in that bus, I got call from my mother-in-law saying that doctor has asked to do Caesarian. Yes ! My wife was getting pain because it was delivery date. Till this day, doctors were used to say its normal, need not worry about anything. Even when she was admitted in hospital and in first check up on same day, that doctor was told that everything is normal. But now she (Doctor) herself was saying this thing. Everyone with me was also confused. My mother-in-law asked me what to do now? I told her that do whatever doctors say. What could I have tell her at this time!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in bus, the things happening in hospital forced my mind to get bad thoughts in me. The fear started in mind, but nothing was in my hand. Somehow I reached to Nagar around 12 p.m, bus has taken 1 hour more.
I did wait for 5-10 mins on Nagar bus stand, but wasn’t getting next bus to Aurangabad. I heard that the private bus guy was yelling to get the passengers for Aurangabad for his bus. I asked him/the bus driver 3-4 times how much bus will take to move from Nagar as these busses usually waits till every seat in the bus is occupied . The driver and that guy had told me that it will take hardly 5 min to move. I take a seat in that bus. But as usually the bad things was happening with me. The bus was getting late to move, waiting for passengers. I asked driver so many times to move as soon as possible as my wife is in hospital. He used to say ok ok. At last I lost my patience and I asked him very angrily that why you told us that bus is moving n 5mins. Then only he started moving but also was stopping at some places to get passengers. 45 mins gone here in Nagar itself.
The way time was passing, the fear of mind was increasing. I was just thinking about hospital. I was keep calling to hospital. At 1 PM the doctors again did check up, till now pain in stomach of my wife was stopped. So doctor told us that She will operate her around 3/3:30 PM.
Again last but not least another bus problem, we supposed to reach to Aurangabad in next 15 mins, the driver drives but at Petrol pump to fill diesel. Again 15 mins late, he full his diesel tank..Oh shit, my bad luck still fearing me lot.
At last I reached at my stop, Baba petrol pump, got down and immediately took an auto to reach to hospital. The operation has been started already. Everyone in hospital, and I am in bus/auto was waiting for doctors to come out.
I supposed to reach in hospital in 5 mins, I have got call from my uncle-in-law (Sanjay Dhakne; The person I like most in my in-laws) . That call was turn everything bad in precious. He asked to get some Pedhas(sweets) while coming to hospital. He said ‘pedhas’ and immediately I understood that I have got a baby boy. Yes!!!! Yes!!! I was blessed with sweet baby boy. I just asked him how’s Shalu? “She is fine” he replied. And now I was happily relaxed.
I cut that phone and called to my brother and sister to tell them this great news. I reached in hospital, and you imagine what I got in my hand.. My sweet son..Doctor was just brought him out of the operation theater. It was that happiest moment, No one can imagine this moment, I even cannot express it in words. But really I can say, nothing can replace this moment with anything happiest.
