It was 6 Am in the morning and my mom picked up necessary things for the hospital , woke me up and rushed to the hospital along with my dad and grandparents ,all curious , scared , and nervous for what we would get to hear
A month ago my mom was getting a little tummy and as we were of about 9 years old we didn't know much , we would make her exercise and also hear something move in her womb and when she was questioned , her reply would be - ' what ! with a smirky smile and say that happens to everyone and it's normal , as your of that age you don't know exactly what is right or wrong and anyone could be bluffed and it wasn't only from us that she kept the secret but from the entire world . She had stopped coming to school to pick us up or drop us and yea she would vomit and yea this particular day after my exams , I guess she was in her 8th or 9th month that she revealed to us and she thought not telling the both of us anything would save her from the fact that she was pregnant . Days passed by and now it was time for her delivery and there we are standing in the hospital and waiting for the next event .
Now we had this thought of holding our sister and throwing her up into the air , the silly ideas a child of 4th standard could get , but as she was brought into the room where we all stood I noticed I couldn't do all that . She was put into her grandmothers hands first then got transferred into grandfather And there you go we were not allowed to touch her cause we were too small for that .
Got back into my grandmother's hand ( mother's mother) and what do I see next is she has all her fingers into her mouth which was one finger at a time ,followed with her entire hand . She was hunger .
Hours passed and mom was brought in and nurses were running around her and the baby and I'm just to confused , while now it was my mom's turn to hold her but as everything got settled , dad dragged us out of the hospital and took us home waiting thinking we would go the next day ,but that never happened .My aunty and her family met her the next morning , they all carried my sister , took pictures and enjoyed
3days were up and mom came home , so that was kinda relaxing . We had to leave home as my grandmother had high fever . I desperately waited for mom . When mom was back , she walks in with my little sister and tells us that the doctor said we are not allowed to come close to her during the week since we had school and was allowed to carry her only on the bed on Sundays and I had this gut feeling that my mom always making up stories like this to fool us .
But as usual what has to happen will happen .
I realized I couldn't play, throw - catch with her and she was too heavy for me. Not even a week up and the advice given was forgotten . I won't forget me putting a bet with my dad that it would be a girl but my reward is still pending
