Preface
ОглавлениеHe couldn’t be aware of the consequences from this sort of action, which exactly at that moment would seem quite normal to anyone.
He did feel really fine and this was the only thing he was absolutely sure.
Of course, not because nothing particularly impressive has ever happened to him: the same daily routine, but to feel good was the most important thing to Him, while nothing occurred till then so that he could think of something to be changed either now or later.
In His case, the notion of time merely was not a matter of concern, as the flow of minutes, hours, days and so on, perfectly matched with the saying “Everything is relative”.
One day, just at an imprecise moment, He saw Another one.
What was He doing in that place?
Being not able to give an answer, He realized day by day that the Other one had obviously the same rights as Him, including the right to stay where he was indeed.
Anyway, since the first day of his appearance, all has gone smoothly, without any noticeable problem, until something went wrong.
He couldn’t be able to identify what had gone wrong, but certainly there occurred something that brought about the change to this situation. The Other one didn’t show up, nevertheless all the rest remained unchanged, the same routine as always. Despite this, He would keep being the same, and for the sake of truth, He was feeling stronger and stronger every passing day…
Two months later...
The man shuddered and could hardly sleep for several days.
He knew that the day of luck could be any usual day of his life, and very soon he would become a father.
All his friends and relatives became aware and were getting ready for the baby party and, exactly on the day the woman has been urgently sent to the Medical Emergency, he called all those who, for the moment, came to his mind and let them know on the forthcoming day of luck.
In the surgery room, the man couldn’t wait to see the baby. Perhaps being not aware of what he was doing, he shook his wife’s hand as strongly as could be of pain to her.
After a very long wait, she gave birth to her baby and the anxiety faded away.
The woman was sent back to a patient room in the hospital Sant’Orsola of Bologna, along with her husband.
After the required checks, the Head of the Obstetrics Clinic informed the couple about the baby boy size, his weight of about four kilograms and tallness of forty two centimetres.
It doesn’t seem to be real to the couple: on that day their dream became true.
After spending the necessary time for recovery and waiting for the doctors’ decision to take her out of the hospital, the man got to the hospital to pick her wife up and along with the baby went home.
At the same evening, the man made contacts with his closest friends and relatives for having a party together on the occasion of his baby boy birth.
It was a real party in a very literal sense, with creamy chocolate cake, desserts, snacks, many drinks and also presents of the newborn baby kit, and while at the end, all were about to leave, it turned out that everyone was coming back home even happier since the news of the baby birth has been released.
