The sun is almost on its way to give rise for the twinkling stars .
As the last wisps of the twilight dissipated the stars shone brighter in the night sky , a lady anguished cries echoed through the cramped , candlelit chamber, mingling with the scent of herbs . And a weary-eyed middle aged man with panicked expression was moving back and forth outside the chamber while the midwife inside the chamber moved with practiced ease , her hands guiding the newborn into the world .
Oooahhhhh—
A baby first wail piercing the air , echoed the chamber making the worry ease on the middle aged man face and bringing joy to his face , instantly he went inside the chamber to get a glimpse of the child .
Then with a radiant smile he whispered, ' A son!! We have a son!!!' .
Then his eyes settled on the lady's exhausted eyes and told her the news and told her " Darling, you can rest now ". With a low hum the lady slowly falls in sleep.
While the man with his hands brought the child on his arm but seeing that the child is wailing he put the child beside the lady making the child wailing stop.
Then the man went outside the chamber and told midwife to start the blessings.
Fire crackled, then the midwife murmured ancient blessings , invoking protection from evil spirits for the child and mother.
Outside , in the hall soon every workers came to know about the joyous occasion ,soon muffled laughter echoed the house and soft neighing of the horse , indicating the symphony of medieval life that welcomed this newborn baby to his new journey of the world . What awaits him , time will tell....
Soon after hours of rest the lady wakes up then she started searching looking for her child , then seeing the cute milky sleeping face of the baby her hearts melts and she could feel herself as if attached to this child . She started patting baby making the child to wake up , but this time the child didn't cry as she took him on her arm near her bosom .
The child giggles seeing her face seeing this she smiles and a name suddenly strike her mind ' Ivon ' .
Then thinking that the child will be hungry she slipped her breast from her bosom clothes and started breastfeeding. Although the child couldn't suck , then she started massaging her breast to feed manually ,soon milks started to leak and feed the child. After 2 minutes the child again fall in sleep .
Then the lady put the baby beside her , and she tried to go down the bed but the moment her feet touched the floor she felt a huge pain as if a part of her body was torn apart , she felt on the ground and asked for help .
Suddenly the door opens and midwife comes in hearing the lady cries for help .
" Why have you gone down from the bed, my lady , you know that you need 2 week of rest !!! " The midwife cried in shock .
" Yes, but I need to go washroom for changing my clothes" The lady replies.
Then the midwife helped the lady taking a bath and changing dress .
And then the lady again laid beside the child , looking at the child face with strong emotions and feeling a responsibility built in herself for the child .
After an hour the doors open with a creaking sound , startling the baby . While the lady focus on calming the baby ignoring whoever entered the room .
The one who entered the room is none other than the middle aged man . Seeing his wife ignoring him , the man smiles bitterly as he also knows after 6 years they had baby, almost losing faith of having baby in the life .
Now after having their own child naturally she will shows her love for the baby .
" Darling have you thought of any name for our child " he asks.
Hearing this the midwife also listens attentively.
" Although I have a name for him but Why don't you give a name for him , let's see whose name fit better " she replies.
" Then why don't we name him Raden , Morphos or Krhale" He tells excitedly .
"Stop ..... What sort of name are those , does those names match with my cute baby " she angrily yells..
Hearing her yell he shut his mouth . ..
" I have decided to name him 'Ivon' " She tells with love in her eyes for the baby .
Hearing the names the middle aged man and midwife both praises .
Next day relative came one after another to get a glimpse of the baby and everyone congratulated them and blessed the baby for good health.
Then they started caring for the baby giving same daily care while joy and laughters filled their house because of the baby giggles ....
Time goes on and soon 3 years passed by and on this day the baby 'Ivon' started his first walk making both their parents proud of their son .
And they decided to celebrate it with everyone in their house including workers .
