MAHIR

These two days passed in a blink with no communication in between me and Bela,Mahira was the only link.

We were getting ready to go to the hospital today,
"Mahira..come on now,enough of rhymes",Bela said switching off the TV.

"Mummaaa...",Mahira shouted.

"Mahira..come on,we are going out",I said excitedly and she stood up.

"Out?"she asked coming towards me.

"Yes,we are going out today.What do you want?"I asked picking her up in my arm's.

"Dadda I wan chocooo..",she squealed.

"Mahira..",Bela said taking her reports.

"Dadda..",Mahira said slowly.

"Maybe not choco..but something else.OK baby?"I said and she hugged me.

"Mahira..wear this baby",Bela said trying to make her wear a top.

We both sat on the bed and Bela made her wear her top,
"Hmm..Mahira is ready,let's go?"Bela said and Mahira nodded.

"Yeah..let's go",I said picking her up.

Soon we were in the hospital,waiting for Polo aunty to come.

"Mahira..no touching",Bela said when Mahira was trying to touch the things on the table.

"How are you Mr and Mrs Sehgal?"Polo aunty asked coming inside.

"We are good aunty,thank you",I replied.

"Hmm..how is this little Sehgal doing?"she asked Mahira.

We smiled looking at her,
"OK..once give me her reports",she said and Bela gave her the reports.

She was checking the reports and looked at Mahira,
"Aunty..is everything alright with her?"I panicked.

"Yes,the reports are normal.When was the last check up she had Bela?"she asked.

"Last month only aunty",Bela replied.

"Once I need to check her,Bela take her and come",she said and all three left inside the cabin.

I was praying to God for my daughter.A breathing problem for a kid at the early stage,it can shook any parent.I still feel ashamed for that day,it was my mistake I didn't come home on time for them.

Bela took care of everything alone,but still I had an argument with her.I've never been that stupid for all my life.

They came back after a while and I saw Mahira crying,
"What happened?"I stood up taking her in my arm's.

"Nothing,aunty was just checking her.She started crying",Bela said rubbing her back.

"Mahira..no crying baby,see we are here only",I said rubbing her back.

"Aunty,how is she?"I asked her.

"Mahir,she is completely fine now.She had that problem when she was six months old,and during that time her lungs were almost filled with flum.After the treatment,she is good",she said.

"And aunty..she won't face this problem again right?"Bela asked.

"Yes aunty,from now onwards..she won't face this breathing problem again right?Any allergens?"I too asked.

"Oh no,I did the allergens test too.She is completely fine and will be fine further also.Just keep her warm,don't expose her to more cold untill she turns three at least.Just take care of that,rest she will be doing good",she said and I left a sigh of relief.
