Strange Mystery

This is a interesting story of my friends. Let's call my friends Sagar and Uma (privacy purposes).

Sagar, Uma and me are very good friends. Also we do have keen interest in paranormal. Sagar was very fond of Uma. Eventually they both realized they were in love. And after some time Sagar proposed Uma and their love blossomed. But every time Uma thought of marrying Sagar, she dreamed of a spirit coming to her and requesting her not to marry Sagar as the spirit didn't want Uma to be her mother. Spirit would come to Uma and say, "You can't be my mother." Uma shared this with me, even I felt it was mysterious. But we did not know what to do with it.

Also Uma had other considerations when they were seriously contemplating of marriage. Though Uma loved Sagar, she is a career oriented girl and Sagar, due to family reasons, needed a wife who would be housemaker. And finally Uma decided to break up their relationship.

After Uma had broke off with Sagar, the spirit came to her in her dreams and thanked her. This a brief of recalled dialogue Uma had with spirit.

Spirit: You have taken a right decision.

Uma: How can you say?

Spirit: You cannot be my mother though I want Sagar to be my father. And I will be a girl.

Uma: How do I know you are not fragment of imagination but truth?

Spirit: Ask anything and I will fulfill it.

Uma: Will you be born on my birthday to Sagar and his wife?

Spirit: Yes

After some time, Uma came in terms with emotional lose and continued her life. So did Sagar, he married a girl selected by his family.

Life continued though we lived in different cities and were busy. Our friendship, in spite of their break-up, continued. But we forgot about the spirit.

After couple of years Sagar told us the good news. His wife was pregnant. We went to Sagar's town and met his wife and had blast.

While coming back Uma and me were reminiscences old times, suddenly we remembered the spirit. We were curious to know when the due date was given to Sagar's wife (Puja). We were disappointed to know that Puja's due date was middle of the month that's between 10 to 15, though the month was same as Uma birth month. Uma's birthday is 29th May. Uma thought that she had imagined the whole thing and was miserable for some time.

As months passed, we kept in touch to know what was happening with Sagar's family. Finally month of May arrived and the high drama began.

On 10th of May we called up Sagar to know how things were. Though he has been to doctor and the doctors had asked them to wait. After a week or so he called us to let us know that Puja was been admitted to the hospital but was sent back home and doctors had told them to wait. It was already 20th of the month. Now we were curious.

Again after couple of days Puja was admitted to the hospital and she was kept under observation as she was full term (i.e. 9 months were complete). Puja had her contractions on 25th of May. It was false alarm. It was only on 27th that Puja went into full labour and everyone was hopeful that baby would be born latest 28th but baby was not born. On 28th night Puja was tired by the process and also the baby passed stools in the womb. Hence, on 29th May doctors had to perform caesarean. A healthy girl was born.

When we received the call that day we were both shocked. We could not believe it. It's a strange mystery - the spirit and what happened later.

Sagar's daughter Shreya is four years old today. Whenever we meet them, Uma and me, we both realize how much Puja is perfect both for Sagar and Shreya.
