Unnoticed Princess of my home

The nurse came slowly from the delivery ward beaming with happiness carrying the prince of my home! My happiness knew no bounds. She came to me and gave me my boy and said "Rigesh you are blessed with a cute angel". The happiness in my face got flushed out and my face became pale. I had never ever wanted a girl child in my life. I did not even feel like holding it in my hand. I immediately gave the child back to the nurse without even seeing her and asked her to take her back to her mother. 

I did not go to the hospital to see even my wife since I did not want to see that child. I was not that cruel to kill the child but I also did not want her. I was getting irritated more and more, when I thought about her. At last my wife was discharged and came back home. I loved my wife, so when that child was sleeping, I used to spend some time with my wife. I did not see that child even once. My wife begged me to spend some time with that child, but I did not feel that she was my child.

That child was 2 years old, when one day she was crying so loudly that I was not able to concentrate on my office work. So I gave one tight slap on her face, due to fear she urinated, due to which I got even more irritated and gave one more tight slap. Days went on like this increasing my hatred towards her. She was 25 years old and I did not know her love for me till one day when I fell on the ground unconscious and my friends took me to the hospital.

The doctor told that my kidney was severely damaged and that I would require kidney to be transplanted within one week to survive. I asked everyone whom I knew, who had my blood group. They were not ready to give me their kidney for saving my life. My daughter who was listening to all these came running to me and told in an innocent tone "Dad my life is for making you happy.. Did you forget that I am also having your blood group? I will give my kidney for you dad.. I would do anything for you dad even if that means losing my life.. I love you dad".. She kissed on my forehead with tears in her eyes..

I could not control my tears on seeing her brave decision of giving me her kidney at such a young age.. I was reminded of an incident two years back when she ran away like PT Usha when the doctor had to inject her for the open wound.. She got another tight slap from me for that.. The girl who was afraid of getting injected is now ready for a surgery for the dad who was least bothered about her..

I realized what a fool I had been without realizing the value of this precious jewel of my life.. I had never seen her till that second.. On seeing her, I realized that she was looking like an angel as told by the nurse..

She saved my life and now I am standing before God worshiping that my daughter should deliver a girl baby when she is having her labor pains.. Girl child is the wonderful creation of God, never think of destroying her.
