Amit replied “Neha dear……you are a mother now…….”
I replied “What Amit? That’s ridiculous. I am not even married” while smiling.
He replied “You are……”
I said in bold voice “Amit…..stop playing games”
He replied “I am not…..”
I asked “Amit……where are we?”
Amit replied “In your apartment”
I said “What?”
He replied “On 4th floor”
I replied “This doesn’t look like an apartment. It looks like a hospital”
He replied “Then why did you ask?” with a smile
I replied “Amit! I will kill you if you do that again. Stop playing games….please”
Amit said “Neha dear……you look very old now. Look at your face in the mirror if you want……”
I searched for a mirror but it was not there anywhere. I searched for my purse. Its not there. I asked Amit for his phone so that I can use front camera of the phone. He said he doesn’t have a phone.
He started laughing suddenly. That’s when I knew Amit is trying to freak me out. He is laughing very very hard.
I turned serious and said “Amit!……….its all because of you” in loud voice.
He stopped laughing and said “What dear?”
I replied “I am in this mess because of you”
He replied “What are you talking about?”
I said “Doctor told me I can’t get pregnant after two years”
He replied “Relax Neha dear…..”
I replied “Relax? Amit you always take things lightly”
Amit said “Neha……Lets have sex here….”
I said “What?” with anger.
Amit said “it will be fun….”
I shouted “Amit!”
Amit said “It will be fun my dear…….I never had sex on a hospital bed before”
I said in loud voice “Amit! You are a psychopath”
Amit replied “This bed looks very good for having sex…..very smooth and soft…….…hmmmmm……you and me together here…..”
Tears rolled down my cheeks and I got very angry and said “Stop this non sense Amit! You are a cold blooded evil human being. I hate you! You have no feelings! Is this how you treat me at this critical time?”
Amit said “I will go lock the door and turn on the AC……it will be amazing……….” and winked at me.
I went to slap him hard on his face. I raised my hand to slap him. He stopped me with force.
I suddenly woke up and opened my eyes. Tears are actually on my cheek. I looked at all directions. Amit immediately came near me and kept my head near his chest and tried to calm me down.
“Calm down….Neha dear………calm down……you just had a bad dream……” and he kept rubbing his hand on my head to soothe me.
After a minute, Amit said “Your report got mixed up with someone else’s”
I replied “What?”
Amit said “The report was wrong one. They had a mix up at the lab. They figured it out and rectified it now. You are fine”
Amit said “Neha dear……look at your face…….”
He moved his hands closer to my face and held my cheeks with his hands. He wiped tears off my cheeks with his thumbs
He continued “It was hospital’s fault. They tested 32 years old woman and her report got mixed with yours”
I replied “Really?” with happiness. I smiled after knowing that the report was wrong one.
He replied “yes”
Amit continued “Doctor met this other woman after you and was shocked to see her fertility related statistics at the age of 32 years. She actually thought you are too young to get your eggs depleted but she thought yours might be a rare case. Once, she saw the other woman’s results, she went back to lab and asked them to re-check the samples. Finally, she figured it out.”
