Short Story Theme - Save Girl

Adi and Chabbi while coming back from the hospital.

"Let's go for abortion," Adi said.

"But this is our love, our baby..." before Chabbi could continue

"I don't want girl," Adi shouted.

"Please... don't..." Chabbi cried.

"Just shut up. No more discussion. It's final. We are going to an abortion tomorrow. I will fix the appointment" Adi said with a stern look.

Both went to sleep.

Chabbi cried the whole night thinking of baby going to be killed by her own father.

Chabbi cried for the baby being killed before giving her a chance to live in this world.

Next day morning,

Both were getting ready for visiting the hospital.

Adi was firm and happy.

Chabbi was helpless and sad.

Just then, phone rings. Mom Calling...

Adi picks up the call. "Hello Ma, How are you doing?"

Mom replied "Fine".

"Can we talk after some time? We are on way to the hospital" Adi told his mom.

"What happened? Is everything fine?" Mom got worried.

"Nothing mom. Just a small procedure for abortion" Adi replied.

Mom got shocked.

"Why abortion? Is there any complexity in pregnancy or what?" Mom sounded more concern.

"Everything is fine, mom. It is a baby-girl. I want a boy and not a girl. Chabbi was not ready but I said it is final." Adi replied casually.

Mom was shaken for a while with Adi's thought and behavior.

"Son, I would say just one thing; then it's up to you." Mom said with a saddening voice.

"Before aborting your baby-girl, just remember the mother who gave you birth is also a girl and the mother from whom you are expecting to give birth to a son is also a girl."

"What if all began to abort baby-girl!!! With whom, man will marry? Who will give birth to a son?"

"Aborting one baby-girl is one step towards human extinction too"

Hearing this, Adi's eye filled with tears. He realized what a great crime he was about to do? He apologized to Chabbi and also said sorry to his mom.

Few months later,

Baby-Girl was born healthy.

Chabbi and baby-girl were welcomed with a big surprise party at home.
