This Novel in Hindi language. # The city hospital is London’s largest. Made up of glass, concrete and steel, the hospital looks no less than a grand hotel. Inside moaning on a wheel chair in pain is one man. A ward boy pushes his wheelchair towards the operation theatre. It is slightly uphill. With them walks the man’s wife Eileen in a white shirt and black mini skirt, one hand on the wheelchair and the other on the man’s bloated tummy to console him against the unbearable pain. Other patients and relatives sitting on the side benches look at him with pity as they rush past. Calm down baby. Cool down. We are almost there. Just a little bit more… just a little bit. Aargh! In your just a bit, I will die. Uffff… God save me! I won’t do it ever again! Have patience Toby! Look we’ve reached. Toby let’s out a painful screech. Onlookers stare at him with sympathy. Eileen spots the doctor in front of the O.T. Doctor! Doctor, patient! Yes, please come. Put him on a stretcher. You please wait here. The ward boy helps Toby onto the stretcher. Two ward boys and a nurse accompany them into the O.T. His moaning can still be heard outside. Eileen waits outside. She is quite troubled, worrisome and uneasy. She paces from the left to right outside the O.T, when her parents walk in. Where is Toby? Asks her father, his voice betraying his tension. Toby is inside, I hope everything is fine. Replies Eileen. Everything is going to be okay dear. It’s the first Time. The first Time is always tough. But I’m sure Toby will manage. You don’t worry. I hope so, Papa. Almost an hour later Congratulations! The father’s delivery went very well. Informs the nurse walking out of the O.T.
