Zaheer's POV,
I rushed to her and pulled her fragile body towards my lap. I shook her, patted her face, yelled her name but she was still unconscious. I quickly lifted her in my arms. 'Why is she soo light?' I shifted her on the bed.
"Sania wake up!"
She wasn't. I even sprinkled water on her face. She was still unconscious. I was scared now. I didn't wanted to lose her. I checked her arms if there were any broken pieces of glass struck but there were none. Alhumdulillah.
I desperately rubbed her hands and feet. 'Why were her hands soo cold?'
I called Madiha and Mom.
"She isn't waking up. Please do something." I said desperately while I called the doctor.
My heart was pounding. 'Its all my fault. I did this to her. I'll never forgive myself if something happens to her.'
The doctor came soon enough. I ushered her hurriedly to our room.
Sania's POV,Everything's going on soo well. Mumma and Daddy are happily living in Qatar, Mom is happy that she'll have a grandchild soon and she even got a daughter in law she always wanted. Aditi is married and is happy in her married life, Madiha will be an amazing doctor soon.... And Zaheer has finally accepted Naaz as his wife and they both are happy together.It's all exactly as I wanted it to be. Now I can finally leave without any regrets. Alhumdulillah.I don't have anything else left for me now. My work here is done. If I stay here any longer I'd just be a burden. I'd like to spend my remaining days with my parents. Even though I know it will hurt them to let me go at the end but it will hurt more if I leave without saying goodbye.I informed my parents that I'll be coming to stay with them for a while. I even got my ticket and visa without informing anyone here. 1 week before leaving I told them.
Sania's POV,It's been 2 weeks yet the wounds are still fresh. Everyone of us is still mourning our precious Naaz. I can't even explain how her parents are feeling. Mom is sad, angry, frustrated."Why did my daughter in law had to go like this? First her child and then her. Why didn't I die instead? Why didn't someone else die instead?!" Her eyes landed on me for a second. She was right. Why didn't I die instead? Why her? She was my hope, I just lost all my hope.Madiha is puzzled as to how to handle everyone. She's trying to be a woman. It's not that easy when your own feelings are all over the place. She's trying to console all of us at the same time. She has a strong heart. I respect that.Zaheer? What can I say about him? I don't know who he is anymore. My Zaheer is lost somewhere. I wish I could ease some of his pain but then I realise, I'll be giving him more pain instead. He lost someone dear to him again. I'll be
Sania's POV,I sank on the sofa paralized. 'He knows.... Zaheer knows. Ya Allah! How? When? What do I do now?'I tried soo hard to protect him from the truth and now....."H-how d-did you...." My voice was shaking."How did I know huh? Did you really think I'll never know and you'd leave me without a word?" He said with a voice filled with pain and anger.Mamma shook me."Sania, what is Zaheer saying? I-is it true?""Shona....say something. What is your husband saying?" Daddy asked.I couldn't even look at them. My worst nightmare just came true. Everyone found out."Sania..." Mom begin."Yes.... it's true." Madiha said. I looked at her."It's no use hiding anymore Bhabhi. They were ought to know 1 way or another."I was soo shaken that I couldn't speak a word. 'They know...
7 YEARS LATERZaheer's POV,I woke up scrunching to the sunlight that suddenly hit my eyes."Naaz....shut the curtains." I scoulded her groggily.I worked till 3am last night so that I could get a relaxing day today. I remembered how Sania used to pull the curtains like that to wake me, but still I used to pretend to sleep so that she could wake me up with a morning kiss...... I miss her.Naaz came and pecked my cheek. I smiled still pretending to sleep."Daddy wake up!" She yelled in my ear shaking me and jumping on the bed."Give daddy another kiss." I said with my eyes still closed and she kissed my cheek again. I pulled her to me and started tickling her as her giggles filled the room."Daadi and Phupi asked me to call you for breakfast. Hurry up daddy."I sat up. "When is Mummy coming back?" She's been to her mother's home for 2 day
Zaheer's POV,I'm exhausted! Finally its over....Its my cousin bro's wedding, yet I had to manage and supervise everything. And what is he doing? Sitting on his chair like a king in his reception.I managed the catering, the decoration, the guest, everything! You might wonder what everyone else did? NOTHING!!! Geez! These are all good for nothing people. The women just took care of their makeup and clothes while the men concentrated on eating; and the friends of the groom? They were busy checking out girls.Like this all wasn't enough. I had various aunties pestering me about when I was getting married. They are asking why am I still single with such good looks, and job at the age of 27. Looks like they can't wait to go for another round of shopping and eat
Zaheer's POV,I brought my mom for her routine check up. She has diabetes. I was just waiting for the reports that's when my phone buzzed. "I'll just take this call its from work" i told mom. She just smiled and nodded sitting in the waiting room.I've never been so thankful to a call from work as I was that moment, because of that call, I got to see her again.She had a injured girl in a burkha with with her. She looked so desperate, her beautiful face full of concern.'maybe she ran to the nearest hospital'I thought she must be a family member but I was wrong."That girl is soo brave, she helped a complete stranger." One of the nurses outside
Sania's POV,I was getting ready for work that's when mumma came to me."Shona, come early today ok?" She said."Mumma" I said with a chuckle. "- I work at a bank. Ofcourse I come early always""But still, come early" she said.I looked at her suspiciously. "Why what's wrong? Is someone coming?"She hesitated a bit but then smiled."Yes. A boy's parents are coming to see you" she said.Ting, ting, ting. The bob pin that I was holding in my lips fell on the cold tiles as my mouth dropped open.
Zaheer's POV,Its been 3 weeks since I met her. She rejected me straight away. Ya Khuda! What should I do? I just can't get her out of my head. I- I think I love her. And I can't figure it out until I see her again. I have to see her. I need to...Sania's POV,Its been 3weeks since Mr. Fancy pants came here. Haven't heard or seen him or his family since then. Its good, but Mummy just wouldn't let go. She keeps on pestering me with questions. 'did you say something stupid? Did you insult him? This- that!' ya Allah! I'm tired.She's worried that a nice proposal would get out of reach. Tsk. I don't want this. I just wanna stay single for the rest of my life and take care of my parents. Mamma says I should worry about having my own family. But trust me, I'll be a terrible mom. I'm already soo bad
