It is a baby girl.

by Vishnumayaa
" Sir, it is a baby girl " the nurse said to Jayan and his parents but they were all unhappy .

His mother shouted " oh! No, its a girl . The god have cursed us, Son, you can't be a good father, god is unhappy with you "

" But why mother , its just a girl. The god have blessed us " said Jayan with a big smile on his face .

Jayan's mother scowled her face and said " Shut up! Do you have any sense? According to our custom getting a baby girl is like a omen and it is also said that it is a gods curse . Did you understand what I said? "

" Yes, I understand " Jayan said .

Jayan dosen't take descions on his own, he always took his mother's help .

The nurse said " The patient wants to meet you all "

The mother looked much unhappy . Jayan went near her, tightly held her hands and said

" Aarti, we are a cursed couple , the god is very unhappy with us so he have given us a baby girl "

Aarti looked relaxed and said " I know it Jayan but we are helpless "

" No, we are not " said Jayan's mother " we have to dump this baby to an orphanage ":

The couple looked schoked, but later they agreed to do this .

Thus Aarti and Jayan went to an orphanage . It was run by a missionary, the couple went and met the headmistress, she was ready to shelter the baby girl but when they were about to leave, Aarti said to the headmistress

" Madame, please care her and call he by the name Rhea and don't ever say her the truth "

The headmistress smiled at Aarti and said " Okay , I will not say her , but you can surely visit her "

Aarti never wanted to visit Rhea "No, I won't visit . Why should I visit her when i don't want her ?"

Aarti was getting annoyed so the headmistress gently spoke

"Fine, Madame its your wish "

Thus the couple but the headmistress was shocked by their behavior .

Years rolled by, and Rhea was now 12 years old it was time for her to leave the orphanage and go to a workplace .

The headmistress went to bid farewell but when she was about to leave, she went near the headmistress with a big smile on her face and said " Headmistress, thanks for caring me these years but now I want to ask you few things , can I ? "

"Sure! My child " the headmistress said

" Where are my parents? Why haven't they come to meet me ? Why did they leave me ?" Rhea asked the headmistress

The headmistress said " My dear one, i have don't know where they are? I have no answer for your questions because i don't know, all i know is that they came here and left you at that time you were only a 2 months baby . I am sorry "

Rhea was not satisfied with her answer "Its okay ! I just asked you , Okay then bye .. got to go now "

The headmistress tightly hugged Rhea and kissed on her forehead .

Thus Rhea left but still the headmistress was sad and said to her herself "I can't understand that Jayan and Aarti left Rhea only because she was a girl , Its to awful ".

May 5, 2015 - 07:06 Thanks a lot Manahil :) Yes, these illiterate people thinks that girls are just maids that work in the house, and its all because of the dowry system and many can't afford to give dowry according to the groom's wishes .
