23 Mr. Samuel and Mr. James

Mr.Samuel was a very reserved type of person. Initially, he was not like that, he was a very outgoing person loved his family very much. He even moved out of his village to give his children a good living environment and education in the future. He and Mr James were best friends since they were toddlers. They both went to school together but Mr James was not interested in studies so joined with his father and started farming.

They both got married in their village itself, at that time Samuel just finished his studies and was trying for a job, he was forced to get married due to his parents nagging. He married Jasmine at the age of just 22 and Jasmine was only 20 years old. She was also forced to marry Samuel.

James did not have anything good, he was also forced to marry Nancy, whom he did not even know existed till now. Marriages in their village at that time took place in their houses itself, no so grand as nowadays. Their marriages were just a week apart. James got married first and after a week Samuel got married. During the marriage, both the brides saw and smiled pleasantly at each other. They were school classmates. Though not as close as their husbands, they were on their good shoes with each other.

So after that, the four used to hang out with each other, go for movies and dinner together.

During one of those dinners, their husbands were so happy because both their wives got pregnant at the same time, they were having a small party by themselves. Jasmine and Nancy were discussing shopping for children dresses and Nancy told that her brother agreed to make a double crib for their kids as well. Suddenly James and Samuel were jumping with happiness and hugging each other. This is their nature whenever they drink, both the ladies were sighing shooking their heads.

" Oh, my lovely wife" Samuel called Jasmine. "You know I got our daughter a lovely husband". Samuel was very sure the baby is going to be a girl. "Are you planning to covet my husband for your daughter brother?" Nancy joked in reply " Alas, I am getting back my independence".

"No no, our son will marry my daughter in law" James referred to Samuel's imaginary daughter.

"That's great, we are going to be relatives" Jasmine was also excited and hugged her future sister in law.

So the promise was made and a pact was sealed.

After nine months, the first to go into the labour was Jasmine, after 4 hours of labour, the nurse brought out a Baby boy, Samuel was shocked how did his daughter become a son, he even doubted the hospital, but anyhow the baby is his own blood, how can he not love that boy. James and Nancy also came to the hospital to visit the baby. Both the mother and son were healthy and they were sent to their home after 3 days.

Nancy and James were worried a little because the delivery date has already passed but the baby still has not shown any symptoms of coming out. Jasmine also came with baby David, to visit Nancy.

"Maybe our daughter in law wants to stay inside her mother's tummy a little longer, she will come out to greet us soon. Don't worry sister in law" Now they have concluded that Nancy and James will have a baby daughter who will get married to David. Alas, Poor David

While they were talking itself Nancy started to have contractions, as they were already living in the hospital for the past one week, she was immediately moved to the labour ward.

Nancy did not have it good, it took 8 hours of labour, for her to give birth to"so-called David's Bride" the baby Inir. Both fathers did not know how to become in-laws anymore. Due to weak uterus and difficulty in the previous delivery, Nancy was announced that she can not have any more kids. But James was happy with his baby son who looked just like an angel.
