Mom: Dear.. you seem to have grown 'silent' lately..?
Child-in-Womb: Not really maa..
(long pause)
How long is it from now till I be born?
Need not wait for too long.. it's almost full term & you soon would be in the external world.. to be born is your preference aloneThere is only one reason I still would love that happen..One reason..?Yea.. want to see my 'Dad'!Oh dear! Hes been eagerly waiting for you & sure you are blessed with the best ever 'Dad'..Am I.., mom??Yes you are, my child..
(silence)
Are you sleepy?Naa.. I prefer not to; want to live this phase of my life to its fullestThat's my wish too.. (gently pats the baby beneath her womb).. you definitely will get to live the rest of your life to it's fullest.. that's our responsibility, anywaysI fear.. may notWhat on the earth made you think so?I see your dreams are very often so scary..Common.. most of my dreams are no better than just imagination!Imagination or anticipation.. dreams might lie but not your heart.. I easily read it beat of fear!
(silence)
How do I figure out my gender, mom?Why should you?!!If not me now, the 'world' later would do..The 'world' is crazy, don't be bothered much
(pause)
I love you, my child..I too, mom. But the 'world' wouldn't if I don't get my gender just right
(long pause)
Can you rest a bit more on your back maa? My shoulder is achingOk.. are you fine now?Yes.. a lot better. Thanks maa
(pause)
What made you think of me, mom?There's been a lot of expectation that I give birth to you after your Dad and me got marriedHmmmm..It's the same pressure almost all women undergo.. which ends up with the pleasure of giving birth to a lifeNot just 'life', mom; it's all about a 'boy' or 'girl'Well, we are least bothered by that'Life' isn't just we three. 'World' is cruel, isn't it?
(silence)
Maa, whats 'heaven'?Believed to be a paradise, where Gods & Angels live..And, 'hell'?Realm of evil & suffering..Mumma.. I prefer to live in 'heaven' than being born in 'hell'
