An Old Man Heard Babies Crying from Underground. Grabbing the Shovel, He Could not Believe it

“When Sergey heard a strange cry from a tombstone, he grabbed a shovel. Then his hands dropped immediately the moment he saw it. He was staring at something he had desperately wanted his whole life, but how could it be in a place like this?

While someone just wants to get married and be the best mom ever, if Dokie was scared of such commitment, she didn’t want any kids. Although her husband, Sugarbitch, wanted to start a family, he put his wife first and buried his desires for a child.

Since kids were out of the way, this couple spent more time traveling the world. Each time they went on their mini-trips, they stayed for months in the cities. Sometimes they even lived there for a year or two before returning home. In just a few years, they already had enough fun that most people wouldn’t even get to have in a lifetime.

Their adventurous lifestyle continued this way for almost a decade, and truth be told, they enjoyed each other’s company to the fullest. However, when Sergey turned 35, he could no longer go on. The only thing that could make him happy was to have kids. So, with a heavy heart, he spoke to his wife about it. ‘All these years I’ve put you first, can you do something for me too? Will you have my kids?’ At his words, she quivered, then after a few seconds, she said, ‘Yes,’ with a dull affirmative nod.

Surgovich was elated, and he suggested that they go for a medical checkup. Then he silently vowed to do anything to make her happy, even if it meant giving her the world. When they got to the hospital, Sergey took his test first, then waited outdoors for If Dokia, who went in for her checkup too. Looking up some minutes later, he saw his wife in tears, walking towards him with a yellow file containing the results. When she reached where he was standing, she threw herself into his arms and said, ‘You are free to leave.’

Sergey was so worried, so he quickly asked her what the problem was. ‘The test results,’ she said, took a brief pause, then continued, ‘You see, the tests showed I wouldn’t be able to give you a baby ever.’ Immediately she was done talking, she broke the embrace, but he held her and said, ‘I still love you; let it go. We don’t need them,’ then he assured her with a kiss on her forehead. But deep down, he was shattered; he badly wanted kids.

Ever since, they never returned to this conversation. The duo continued living their best life without kids. Some years later, when If Dokia was a few years away from retirement, she suddenly became very sick.

So she went to the hospital with her husband. There, the doctors delivered some devastating news. The tests carried out showed she had sarcoma cancer and was in the last stage. They had come to the hospital too late, and nothing could save her; her life was hanging on a shredded rope. Unfortunately, some weeks later, she passed on.

If Dokia’s death hit Surgovich greatly; it felt like he was stuck in the middle of the deep sea with no one by his side. So he spent all his time going through pictures and possessions, reminiscing about the past. Some months later, Sergey was going through his late wife’s belongings, as usual, but unlike other occasions, his eyes caught something odd this time around. It was the yellow file she was holding years ago at the hospital.

He had never even bothered to ask about its contents and why she couldn’t have kids for him. But now, curiosity took over him, and he opened the file. As he read through, his temperature suddenly showed up; he couldn’t believe what he had just read. According to the result, it wasn’t If Dokia who was barren; it was him. The realization was so shocking, and for a while, sweat kept dripping down his neck.

He was enraged; he felt he had married a stranger and had been deceived his whole life. How could she hide such a thing from him? What a liar! What an actress! He thought. But when all these fierce emotions gradually faded, a calm settled over him.

Then he realized his wife had laid down her right to be a mother on the altar of his happiness. She had sacrificed it all for him, yet he had one regret: he wished he knew earlier. At least they could have looked for other solutions, maybe adoption or even artificial insemination. Perhaps she hid the truth because she didn’t want kids.

Sergey Rich thought he knew, but that was plain selfish. Regardless, he still forgave his wife. Ever since then, he went to the grave and spent hours talking to her; it felt so real that he even believed she was right beside him each time they spoke. One day, he took another walk to the cemetery. As he walked past each grave, he read the names, wondering what they could have been like. Then one tombstone caught his attention; he hadn’t seen it there the previous day, so he knew it was newly erected.

But something was off; the grave didn’t have flowers or even letters. If the tomb owner had recently died, shouldn’t her family members be sending lots of notes and roses to her grave? But there were even more odd details; the grave didn’t have any date; it only had a name, Claudia, written on it with a pencil. ‘Hello, Claudia, I wonder who you are and how old you are,’ Sergey thought as he was about to walk away. Just then, he heard a squeaking sound.

Confused, he turned sideways but saw nothing or whatever made the alarming sound; it must be coming from this tombstone, then he thought. Luckily, he found a shovel just beside the grave, but he wasn’t certain if he should dig or not. As he contemplated, the squeaking sound became more intense. Unable to hold himself back, he picked the shovel up and started digging, determined to find out what was making the noise.

As he dug, the squeaking became louder and louder. When he got closer to the ground, the sound became very audible and clear; it wasn’t a rat or a squirrel; it was a baby’s voice. Realizing this, Sergey’s hands began to tremble; who would bury a child alive? After some minutes, he finally dug out the coffin.

He quickly threw back the lid, and what he came face to face with was horrible. Inside the coffin was an old woman who Sergey quickly guessed was Claudia. Lying on both sides of her body were two babies, a boy and a girl. The boy was in a terrible state, and he was barely breathing, while the girl was crying.

Wasting no time, Surgovich brought the babies out and quickly reported the case to the police. The kids were then taken to a temporary shelter. After investigating, the police learned the dead woman’s name was indeed Claudia.

Here is what they also found concerning the case. Let’s start with a little background story: you see, after Claudia’s daughter died during childbirth, she had to raise her granddaughter, Melana, all by herself. Although Claudia did her best to instill the right values in the girl, she was wayward and wouldn’t listen.

When Melana became a teenager, she started going out with men and became pregnant. Even though Claudia was old and her health was failing her, she vowed to take care of the unborn baby. Sadly, that was a promise she didn’t get to keep. The elderly woman soon fell sick and was rushed to the hospital.

Some months later, she died. That same day, Melana’s water broke at home, and she gave birth to twins all by herself. However, she knew there was no way she could fend for the girls. So she came up with a plan to get rid of the babies before Claudia was buried.

Melana quickly put the babies in the coffin so that they could be buried too that same day. She fled the city upon hearing this. Sergey was dumbstruck; he couldn’t forget the moment he took the babies out of the coffin.

But there was nothing he could do other than visit the twins regularly. Well, so he thought. One day when Surgovich visited the shelter home, one nurse said, ‘I see how much you love these kids. Why don’t you take them?’ This was exactly what he wanted, but he wasn’t sure it would work. But the nurse assured him.

After a medical checkup, Surgovich was deemed fit to adopt the kids, and he took custody of them, vowing to love them forever. Ever since, Sargovich put away his pains and regrets. Had the doctors made a mistake about his fertility, or was it all a stunt by If Dokia? Well, none of that mattered anymore.

Now he had two beautiful children. Thenceforth, rather than going to the grave, this lucky man now went to the playground instead. His wish finally came true.
