Comforting In Pain

~Raina~

A week ago I had the feeling, that my husband could possibly have feelings for me. But oh boy, how wrong I was. My husband is still the Doctor grumpy Murad who doesn't give a shit about what I do.

He didn't even tell me to make him breakfast again because I didn't make him for the first day. Back at home, I have never even turned on the gas how could I make something here? I don't know about household work.

"Don't think too much, Raina. One day you will make my Gus happy by making his favorite food" my mother-in-law says and blew air on the spoon and then gave it to me to taste.

The hot spicy taste of sause burst on my taste buds. "Hmm, it's tasty mummy". I say and my mother-in-law smiled at me and got back to her work.

Today, some of the international doctors are coming to Agastya's home for dinner, and my husband dearest has asked my mother-in-law for help because his wife is not capable enough. And, sadly it's true.

"You go get ready, and wear something in green, it's Gus's favorite color". I nodded and washed my hands and walked out of the kitchen.

I pick the bottle of my jasmine body lotion and applied it to my body. Then I wore the green floral top pairing it with royal blue denim jeans. I applied pink lip gloss on my lips and popped up my eyes with mascara letting my hair cascade down freely.

I want to make my husband happy and if it means to dress myself in his favorite color I would do it.

I was all set, after checking my appearance in the mirror one more time I walked out of my room to the kitchen. Where my mother-in-law was washing her hands.

The aroma of food wafted in my nose making my mouth water. "Oh, Raina you look lovely". She says and gently caresses my hair. I smiled at her. "I've prepared everything, I need to go now. Take care of yourself and tell Agastya, that I will come tomorrow".

I hugged her and kissed on her cheek. I walked her out and waved a bye before closing the door. I sat on the sofa and turn on the TV, waiting for my husband and the guest.

I heard the doorbell rang and got up from the sofa to opened the

door, hurriedly. I saw my husband standing in front of me smiling politely at three other gentlemen one was man of colour and the other two were white.

"Please come" I grinned widely and yelped as I felt a pinch on my back. I glared at my husband. "You look over-excited" he whispers and I crunched my nose up feeling stupid. I shut the door behind us.

"My lovely wife, Raina...Raina this is Doctor Steve, he is a neurosurgeon and he is Dr. John, the dermatologist, and Dr. Riyaz, a neurosurgeon." I shake my hands with all the doctors and smiled politely at them.

None of them look much old, maybe they are in their late 30s or in their early 40s. "You are very pretty, Raina". Dr. Riyaz the man of color said.

My face heats up and I am sure my pink cheeks would be looking like a tomato now. It's not like that every day a handsome man compliments you.

"Uhh, maybe we should have dinner first I am sure you all must be hungry". Agastya said and glared at me before walking to the washbasin in the small corridor of the house.

I set the dining table. Opening the lid of every container. I swooned at the sight of Fried rice, paneer, Naan, jeera potato, salad, and rasgulla for the dessert. The food looks delicious and I know it would taste yummy too.

We all sat and Agastya started serving food on our plates. "Never thought Indian veg. Could taste heavenly delicious." Dr. John said and all of them hummed in response.

"My mother and my wife prepared the food, all credit goes to them, all thanks to their Indian ethinicity". Agastya says and my mouth hung open but I closed it immediately as soon I heard them laugh.

Did he just praise me? Even when I didn't do shit other than stand there and handing mother-in-law groceries and masala. But well.

We all continued to eat our food. They all talked about their jobs and family and other stuff. I drink the water in one gulp. And placed my hand on my lower abdomen as the sudden period cramp erupted in my lower belly. Damn these periods always have to be painful.

I took a deep breath and clutched my belly as another cramp hit me harder than before. I lowered my gaze as my eyes watered. Cramps after cramps bubbled inside me hitting and squeezing the life out of my uterus.

I got up from the chair and walked to my room and lay on the bed letting tears fall from the corner of my eyes. I have bad periods but this was something else. It's deadly and uncontrollable.

Uhhh, I sobbed and hit my belly with my fist. I can't survive this pain. "Raina, what's with this behavior, how could you come inside like this...Raina...shit." Agastya took my hand in his and cupped the side of my head.

"Raina, what happened?" his concerned voice fell in my ears and I clutched his hand tightly. Curling myself. My chest shakes with my sobs.

"Raina, please tell me what happened, Are you hurt?". I bit my lips, I am unable to speak. "Gus, my cramps they hurt...so bad, ugh". I say between my sobs.

He moved me to his side and placed his hand on my belly and started rubbing it gently. "Did you take the medicine?" . I shake my head.

He made me sat and bring medicine to my mouth before I could take it in my mouth I revived his hand and moved out of the bed and went in the bathroom. I undid my jeans and sat on the toilet and peed the hell out of my body. I got up and washed my hands.

I rested my head on the wall and sobbed as contraction after contraction hit me. What is happening to me?

A loud scream escapes from my throat as I felt something coming out from vagina and it hurts badly. I sat on the floor clutching my abdomen." Raina I am coming in now". Agastya walked inside and crouched down in front of me.

I touched my belly as the pain lessen suddenly. I look up at him and gulped. He grabs my shoulder"Raina...what happened, lets's go to the doctor. This not normal period pain". He says.

"Agustya...i think....i think something came out of my vagina". I say shakily.

"What?"

"I think my uterus came out, because the pain is no more".

"What are you saying, Raina?"

"I think my uterus came out". I whispered.

"Remove your jeans". He says in a serious tone.

"What?"

"Remove your jeans, Raina. Let me check if there is something serious." he says and my eyes widened in shock. My cheeks heats up in embarrassment, I can't let him see my 'that' part.

"Raina, we don't have time for this".

"I can't let you see me like this".

"For God's sake Raina you are my wife and I am a fucking doctor ". He yelled, making me flinch. With the shaky hands I removed my pants and my pink panty which was covered in my period blood and something else.

I was bare down there in front of my husband but his gaze were just fixated on my panty. I followed his gaze and a loud scream left from my throat as I saw the big jelly-like soild substance pinkish in color on my panty.

Tears fall from my eyes. My uterus came out of me and it was disgusting. One more part of my body became useless.

I hold Agustya's hand as he tried to touch it. "I am a doctor, and have seen the worst than this". He says and examined that thing. I turned my face away. How can he touch it? I can't even look at this disgusting thing.

"We are going to the doctor and no more arguments". He says and left the bathroom after taking the picture of it. I squinted my eyes and pick my panty with my fingers and threw it in the dustbin.

I turned on the shower letting the cool water fall on my skin. I hurriedly wrapped the towel around my body and walked out. Thank God he is not here. I changed myself into comfy pajamas and a shirt.

~Agastya ~

"Is there something serious doctor?" I ask doctor Nitin as he examines the picture in my phone. I rolled my head to the side and watched my wife, gazing down at the floor silently. I know it's hard for her.

"Dr. Gus, this is a case of the decidual cast, it's a large piece of tissue that passes through the vaginal canal in the shape of the uterus." I listened to the doctor as he informed us about the decidual cast.

"So, it's not threatening, right?" I ask and I felt sharp nails digging into my palms. "It's rare but it doesn't lead to bad consequences but if this happens repeatedly then you will have to visit again. Other than that, it's okay".

I heaved a sigh of relief. Thank God it's nothing dangerous. We got up and I shake my hands with the doctor. And walked out of the hospital with my wife who has not uttered a single word.

"I am sorry, today's dinner got ruined because of me". She says and I clenched my jaw not removing my eyes from the road. "Today's dinner went fine, Just a little awkward when you left but fine nonetheless. They like the food and you Raina. So stop blaming yourself". I say and glanced at her. She was looking out of the window letting the breeze caressing her face.

I don't want to get weak around her but just one yelp from her mouth, make lose my mind.

I took her hands in mine and give it a reassuring squeeze. I know she is still scared.

Once reaching to home we directly went to her room and she sat on the bed. I gave her the glass of water and she drank it in a one gulp. I watched the tremor in her hands and sat beside her taking her cold hands In my warm ones.

"Everything is okay, you don't have to worry. The human body is full of mystery and wonders, Raina. There are so many things we don't know about, exist in our body. Don't think much". I say and tucked the strand of her hair behind her ear.

I didn't like her, like this. Even though it wasn't anything serious but I still felt a twinge of pain in my heart. Why her distressed state is bothering me? Is it because I am a doctor or maybe I just can't see her in pain.

I lay her down and turned on the A.C. and pull the comforter over her body. I turn off the lights and before I could step away from bed, her hand clutched mine.

"Please, stay. I am scared" she whispers and and turned her body. Sleep with her? My heart thumped inside my chest and my palms started to sweat. Can I really do this? Am I ready to this ?

Keeping my thoughts aside.

I sighed and lay beside her sliding inside the comforter. Her small frame flushed against my body. She is small. She needs me and I can't left her alone in this vulnerable state.

I drap my arms around her and placed it on top of her belly and started gently rubbing it. I want to soothe her pain by any means I can. Even if it meant to touch her and sleeping beside her.

After all she is my wife, I have taken her responsibility. I know since our wedding I've been nothing but a jerk to her. But deep down I care for her more than anything. And right now she needs me.
