I am Darshan a 27-year-old guy living in Perth, Australia. This incident happened around nine years back when I was in India. I feel shameful to share this initially but after reading do many stories like this got to know these type of things are common. This incident changed my relationship with my mom Divya.
I was born in a middle-class family. My father was working in a rural shop and mother was a homemaker. I studied in a rural school till the highschool. I was only 13 years old when we lost my dad in an accident.
Mom was so depressed by his death and she spent a couple of years in loneliness. Every relative of us convinced mom for the second marriage. Mom finally got married to a rich businessman when I was 17. He is a busy person staying in New York and visit us rarely. Although we tried to move with him our visa become a major problem.
During his rare visiting, he used to spend more time with mom. This results in great happiness for everyone as mom become pregnant. The new member of our family arrived after a wait of nine months. My mom becomes a mother again after 18 years at the age of 38. Stepdad gave more importance to his new daughter, he made every possible thing to keep her rich. But he failed to stay with her as he is a busy person in the US.
From the day of his departure, I was appointed as mom’s caretaker. A maid was kept for household chores but she only works in the day. I was one there to help mom during the night time in sleeping, taking medicine and also in attending the nature calls. This continued well until the night of this incidence.
It was a dark night and we go to bed at around 10 like a daily routine. The little kid has got some fever that day and this gives mom a lot more pressure. She made the baby sleep and went to bed. As I was her caretaker I took the bed along with her as usual. I was not getting a good sleep because of the baby’s repeated crying that night but somehow managed to sleep late at night.
It was around 1 in midnight, I hear some groan noise. I was shocked to see it was mom who is twirling on the bed in pain.
“Mom… mom.. what happened?”I asked in tension.
She was not in a state of replying too. So I feared and switched on the light. I was shocked to see mom crying and taking deep breaths holding the bed tightly. The scene is similar to the labor pain I usually watched in movies.
“Mom.. what is happening to you? Shall I call the doctor?” I asked
“No.. no son.. go and see the baby is waken up or not” she said with deep breaths
I followed her order and replied”No mom.. she is in deep sleep”
“Ohh god!! why she is doing like this today!?” She questioned God holding her chest tightly and literally screaming.
“Mom..are you getting pain? How can I help you?” the only thing I can ask.
“No son… it’s not the pain of that kind…it’s something else.” her reply remains same.
I had no idea what was happening to mom and sit like a lame duck.
A couple of minutes passed and mom’s pain got more intense.
“Mom…tell me what is happening to you.” I requested again.
“What will you do if I tell you?” her untrusty reply
“I can do anything mom.. trust your son.” my confident answer.
