Mr. Richard Cooper wearing a not so clean Grey shirt, sleeves rolled up to elbow and a loose old fashioned black-colored pants without belt & shoes uttered with mud is standing outside the OT.
he is tensed & a bit happy too.
It can be guessed that may be he directly came from his work to hospital.
"Relax Richard! Sister in law will be alright & baby too." Richard's elder brother Jhon stood up from chair & put hand on his shoulder.
Richard nodded head & sat on chair with his two kids, elder one is "Samuel" who's age is 13 years & younger daughter "Olivia" merely 8 years old.
"Dad, when will mom come out with my little brother??"Olivia asked Richard with innocence on her face & swaying legs on chairs.
"Soon princess".. Richard replied with a smile & pat her head.
(Doctor came out from OT & Richard quickly head to her)
"Doctor?? How's my wife & baby??" he asked with a hope in eyes.
Doctor scanned Richard from head to toe with her eyes then put hands in blazer's pocket.
"Mr. Richard, your wife is fine." that doctor replied to him with mask on face.
"And my baby??" He asked immediately.
Doctor removed her mask, "Uhh.. Baby is also fine." she replied with a bitter smile.
(Don't know why but Richard felt a chill in heart)
"Is it a boy or girl??" Jhon asked excitedly..
" Of course, it's a boy.. We did ultrasound before"
Richard replied proudly in haste before doctor's reply with a shine in his blue sparkling eyes..
(Lady Doctor shrug her eyebrows)
"Let the doctor speak Richard", Jhon pat Richard arm.
Doctor licked her lip & she rubbed her head with her index finger, "IF YOU ARE THIS MUCH CONFIDENT THAT YOU KNOW MORE THAN A DOCTOR, THEN YEAH.. IT.. SHOULD BE A BOY."
Richard & Jhon shrink their eyebrows on doctor's reply which was full of arrogance.
Doctor replied with rolling eyes & took permission to leave, "excuse me, I'll take my leave now".
"Can i meet them??" Richard asked hastily as if he couldn't restrain himself from meeting his son.
"Okay! You can, after nurse shift her to general ward & she is unconscious too", she again put mask on her face.
"Now, if your list of questions is finished, would you please give me permission to go Sir, I've other important patients too"
(that lady doctor said this line arrogantly as they are wasting her precious time)
"Auhh.. S-sure.. Thank you doctor"
(Richard hesitated a bit and stepped aside)
"This doctor is so arrogant", Jhon said with furrow brows while glaring at her back.
Richard took a deep breath & said with sadness in voice, "THEN WHAT KIND OF TREATMENT YOU EXPECT FROM GOVERNMENT PUBLIC HOSPITALS?"
"hmm, you're right, Just go to their private clinics & then you'll see these doctor with honey-sugar coated tongues & in public sectors, these same doctors will speak like they have cactus planted on their tongue". Jhon showed his thoughts with blasé)
