"It's a girl! "
The doctor gushed, placing the wailing infant on the woman's chest.
She heaved trying to catch her breath in the aftermath of her gruelling labour. Tears of pain mingled briefly with tears of joy before dissolving into tears of sadness.
She had once again given birth to a girl! Her third daughter. What would her husband and in-laws do to her now?...
Going through all agonies of past at the birth of previous two daughter.All got refund like a movie reel.A panic shiver vishesh through her spine. She gasped.
Closed her eyes for sometime.
And then....
Openen her mind.
Said to herself,not again.
No repetition.
This one is my Durga,the third in the trinity.
Completing my universe.
Sarasvati,Laxmi and Durga.
I will stand for them as I am a power house in my self.I will make them what they are born with.Their future is my new birth.They are my daughter and I am the proud mother earth
