A winter afternoon, I was in a company meeting. The phone was ringing continuously showing aunt Sandrea's name but I couldn't pick it up as the meeting was too important for the company. At last at the end of the meeting I ran off excusing myself to call aunt Sandrea. "Hurry up Frank, we all are in the hospital right now." saying this aunt disconnected the phone. Without losing time I left the office and hurried up for the hospital. The roads were completely jammed as it was December. Traffic moved up very slowly while the traffic cops trying their best to control the chaos and clearing up the roads. People waiting to cross on both sides of the road. My heart skipped a beat all the time worrying if everything would be ok. It took me nearly an hour for a thirty minutes drive. I checked the room number at the hospital reception and hurriedly took the lift for the first floor. I saw aunt and Sarah's dad standing with the doctor, discussing something seriously.
The traffic
I sat down on a bench near me. I couldn't move forward, my hands and feet went cold. Aunt saw me as the doctor left, that I was sitting on the beach instead of entering the room. She understood that I was tensed and came to me. I stood up to face her, she came near me, took my hands and held it near my heart and said, "Don't worry Frank, from today you are the dad of twin boys" smilingly she broke the news to me. My heart just jumped out hearing it but I was worried about Sarah as I was late at the time of delivery. I had promised her that I would be here and I would be the first one to hold our kids but I couldn't.
Dad
"How is Sarah?" that's the only words that came out of my mouth. "Oh Frank! Mother and children are completely fine. Sarah is in the room. Go and meet her." said aunt. Feeling the peace of mind hearing it, I ran to see Sarah. Almost everyone was present in the room when I entered it. They had decorated it as if it was the living room of our house. I don't know even if they had even taken the permission for it from the hospital authorities. They all began to stare at me as I entered. "Where had you been all this time Frank?" they surrounded me with the question forgetting that I was more interested in seeing my wife and kids rather than replying them. There she laid on the bed with all tranquility and kids were in the cot beside her bed. My world suddenly seemed to me like a heaven.
My twins
Days went by raising our kids. Next five years I saw Sarah being the mother of our four kids. My two daughters, same like Sarah. Her life got completely busy raising our four kids. From waking them up in the morn, educating them in the best virtues she could till putting them back to bed, not forgetting them to teach, how to thank god for every little good deeds they went through during their daylight. I loved seeing her teach about the night and the angels in the same way as we first met. Every night they got to hear a new parable with a new virtue for their life. She was like a complete book of morals.
I couldn't be thankful to god for anything more than this. My wife, my kids, my family and my friends everything revolved around me in a perfect orderly manner. Managing time wasn't easy but so was Sarah, who wouldn't let anything be taken in an easy go manner. She wanted her life to be perfect and more than my expectations, she was successful.
