Chapter 75 — Allah's Blessing

Months passed, and the day Poornima had been waiting for finally arrived.

Veeresh was beside her throughout the difficult hours, unable to hide his nervousness.

He had always imagined having a daughter.

A little girl he could spoil, protect and call his princess.

But he had never cared less about the gender of the child than he did about Poornima being safe.

After several hours, the doctor finally came out with a smile.

Doctor: "Congratulations. You have two beautiful baby boys."

Veeresh stood still for a moment.

Veeresh: "Two?"

The doctor smiled.

Doctor: "Yes. Twins. Both are healthy."

Veeresh's eyes immediately filled with tears.

Two sons.

Allah had blessed him with two beautiful boys.

He quietly whispered,

Veeresh: "Alhamdulillah."

He had once wished for a daughter, but the moment he heard that his sons were healthy, his heart filled with happiness.

When he was finally allowed to see Poornima, he walked into the room.

She looked exhausted but happy.

Veeresh sat beside her and gently held her hand.

Veeresh: "Poons..."

She smiled weakly.

Poornima: "They're okay?"

Veeresh nodded.

Veeresh: "Both of them are beautiful and healthy."

Poornima's eyes filled with tears.

Poornima: "Two boys."

Veeresh smiled.

Veeresh: "Allah gave us two sons."

He kissed her forehead.

Veeresh: "I know I always imagined having a daughter."

Poornima looked at him.

Veeresh: "But today I don't care whether Allah gave us boys or girls. He gave us two beautiful children, and that's more than enough."

Poornima smiled.

Poornima: "You're happy?"

Veeresh laughed softly.

Veeresh: "I'm happier than I've ever been."

He carefully looked at the two tiny babies resting nearby.

Veeresh: "My sons."

His voice became emotional.

Veeresh: "Our family has grown."

Poornima smiled at him.

Poornima: "What names are you thinking?"

Veeresh looked at her.

Veeresh: "We'll choose them together."

He gently held her hand again.

Veeresh: "You gave me two beautiful boys, Poons."

Poornima smiled.

Poornima: "We have two little babies now."

Veeresh leaned down and kissed her forehead.

Veeresh: "Alhamdulillah for my wife, my Bubba, and my two sons."

And for the first time, Veeresh felt that his family was complete—not because of whether he had sons or daughters, but because Allah had given him the people he loved most.
