Life Changer -- Un-Wedded Husband -- 3 Sweet Sudha 26
A young lady's romance with a radiologist
Next day evening my hubby left for NOIDA and again my routine had started. First thing what I did after my sweet heart's departure, I went to a scanning centre. The doctor was an aged man; around 65 or so. After listening me he said.. "Dear so early we can't find the gender of the baby and abortion is illegal".
"Doctor; neither I am interested in baby's gender nor any idea of abortion. This is my second child. From last four five days I was straining a lot.. just want to know whether my pregnancy is safe or not'.
He looked at me smilingly and said.. "you are cute lady..." and gave a small slap on my cheek and made me lie on the table. After half-an-hour, I was heading home with smile on my lips and the certificate that my pregnancy is safe.

After a month if this one evening I phoned to my husband and said "Darling Congrats, you are going to be a father again".
"Really! Thanks dear.. I am very happy.. by the way I want a baby child this time" he said.
"How can I know whether it is a baby or boy... see my dear husband giving you a child is my work. What gender it is to be yours." I said and smiled myself.
"My sweet heart, what are you talking...?"
"Yes dear, it is you who is responsible for the gender of the child. I don't know what you gave me whether X or Y..." I said in the phone and giggled.
"Oh! Chandoo dear what is this X and Y I am not in a position to solve your riddles..."
"Sweet heart... pch..pch...pch...mmmm..." I kissed on the phone and said "see we ladies have only X chromosome in our body, where as you males have X and Y chromosomes. If your X fusions with my X then it is a girl. Suppose your Y fusions with my X then it is a boy... now tell me how I know what baby it is...." I giggled again.
"Oh Darling you are showing all your science knowledge on me.. I am lay man. Let me live like this, I just want a baby this time because we have a boy already... or whoever it is; it is our child.. boy or girl equal to us isn't it?" he said and gave me a kiss on the phone and bid good bye to me.
Immediately phone rang. It is my husband again. With confusion I asked "what dear...what happened. Forgot anything?" I asked.
"When are your summer vacations are starting?" he asked.
"In another a month or so.. why...?"
"Why don't you come down to Delhi...?
"Me Delhi; in the scorching heat of Delhi.. na baba na..." my body shuddered with the thought of Delhi's heat.
"No dear.. listen first.... From here we go to Kulu Manali spend two weeks there and return..." my hubby said.
"What Kulu Mnali, Himachal Pradesh.. oh.. thank you dear... you are sweet .. by the way can I ask uncle to accompany us..." I asked hesitantly whether he accepts for that or not.
"Sure dear... ask him also come with you.. he too will have some change..."
"You are a darling dear.. thank you...pch..pch..." I kissed him again."
==========================
During the third month of my pregnancy when I came from the college I saw a car which belongs to car driving school. "chandoo .. get ready quick we have to go for car driving session." Uncle said.
"Who is learning uncle.. you already knew driving isn't it..?"
"You are learning.."
"Me..!" I said in surprise.. "why me..?"
"I don't want you to drive two wheeler during your pregnancy.. you learn the driving and take the car to the college..."
"... but uncle.. I don't have a car..."
"You will take my car... no argument now..get ready.."
Even though I am saying no.. no I was forced to learn car driving and within three weeks I got driving license in my hand. For few days uncle used to come with me to the college to ensure my safe driving. I drove the car and uncle brings back the car and again he is present at the college in the evening and the same thing happens. i.e I drive the car and uncle sits at the passenger seat guiding me now and then. One month of this I was driving the car without any effort. Uncle forced me to take his car to the college.
*******************************
In another week the summer holidays will start. Before that I want to confirm about the gender of the baby. If possible I want to give good news to my hubby. I went to the same doctor with whom I got confirmed about the safety of my pregnancy.
Last time when came I never bothered to look around, but this time I looked around. 'Padmaja's Scanning Centre' was the name board. I entered; no patient had come so far I am the first one. Before entering the room, I looked at the name board on the wall, the name board read Dr. Padmanabhan; Radiologist.
Taking permission I entered in to the room. The moment I entered and wished him he recognized me and said "Oh! It is you welcome ... welcome. How are you? And how is your health?" He enquired.
"Oh! Doctor, do you remember me, I am fine" I said in shock because every day he sees many patients and remembering me ... I am not a regular patient of his and I came only once two months before.
"Come take your seat" he said and continued "Are you a person to be forgotten...?" his statement made me more wonder.
"Why? What is so special in me...?" I smilingly asked and sat in front of him and looked at him. Dr. Pdmanabhan may be around 65 or 66. Tall, lean figure with good health, clean shaved has thinning grey hair neatly combed back. There is an aura in his face.
"Don't you know what your specialty is...?" his question still confused as well as embarrassed me.
The conversation is turning into something queer. I too got interested and asked in enthusiasm. "Doctor, please tell me what my specialty is... I am curious" I looked at him.
"What is your name dear...?"
"Chandana, Chandana Bhargav..."
"Very wrong name..." he looking at me deeply said.
"What...?" I almost screamed.
"Yes, your name should have to be 'Sunetra' or 'Kamala Nayini' that suits you."
I was turning more curious and asked "Why do you think so..."
"Because of your eyes, your eyes are like lotus petals, 'kamal' means lotus and akshi means eyes 'Kamala Nayini' nayini means eyes. Your eyes are so cute the name 'Sunetra' suits you. Sunetra means good or charming eyes. Kamalakshi or Kamala Nayani means a lady with lotus eyes and what is your age?"
His revelation is so good that though I look at myself every day I never felt so, even my husband also, why up to that Radheshyam uncle who never tires to praise my eyes never said this to me.
"Recently, I mean three months back, I celebrated my 32
nd
birth day" I said to his query.
"Incredible...." Though he mumbled slowly but I could hear clearly.
"Why incredible...?"
"You are 33 dear and your face is a baby face still; like a small girl of 8 or 10 years" he still gazing at my face said.
I was embarrassed, at the same felt proud that a male of over 65 is praising me. Of course every woman feels proud who is praised. After all I am a common woman.
