To The Straight Path.

Chapter 54.

It was around 8 am, Umar was still sleeping, Imaad and Imam Hamza were also by his side, Imaad gently kept his hand on Umar's forehead and gasped.

"Imam, his fever isn't getting back to normal."

"Call the doctors."

He nodded and dialled the doctor's number.

"Eira... don't leave me...alone please." He started mumbling in his sleep clutching the comforter in his fist.

"Eira... Please don't go... Eira."

He opened his eyes in a jerk breathing heavily. He tried to calm himself down but couldn't, his breathings were getting heavier as each second passes.

Imam Hamza side hugged him gently patting his back, he looked at him and registered his surroundings.

"My Eira."

"Calm down son calm down, everything is fine."

"No no nothing is fine, she was burning.... She was calling me for help.. She needed me...I couldn't protect her."

"Umar, look at me. Everything will be fine my child, how can someone harm her when she is in Allah's protection."

"She is safe?" He asked like a child.

"Yes son she is safe, she wants you to live your life."

"Without her?"

"Yes son without her and insha Allah if you both love eachother with the same intensity then you will meet her again in Jannah."

"What if she don't want to be with me?"

"Why would you think this? You love her so much and no one could love her the way you are doing so what made you think she will not choose you."

Umar was quiet, looking down at his fingers, he needed someone right now to assure him that there is someone on whom he can rely upon.

No matter what the gender is we need that emotional support and little assurance that there is someone with them, that they are valued and their presence makes a difference.

If he is a man means he is strong and he doesn't need to depend on anyone or if it is a women then she needs support or she should be dependent for emotional support.

There is nowhere written this, both of them need each other's presence and they both are inter dependent on each others.

Our society demand us to think otherwise.

If a man was strong and independent then women were never created.

Hawwa (A S) was created from Adam (A S) ribs and she was created for him, as he felt alone in a place like Jannah, when you felt alone in a place like Jannah then what made us think that we can live alone in this cruel world.

This society of us try to mold men and get hold on their emotions to make them emotionless, they are too afraid to even cry infront of others, sometimes all we need is just to cry our heart out to lessen that burden.

But the truth is, When a man is in love he becomes the most innocent creature in the world.

"Umar." Imaad voice snapped him back and he looked up at him.

"Go and freshen up a little, we can have breakfast together."

Umar shook his head and layed back on the bed, he was too drained both mentally, emotionally and physically.

From the past six months his nightmares weren't haunting him but today he again got one and it was the deadliest one.

He closed his eyes and kept his hand on his forehead breathing heavily, he was trying to hide those tears which were countinously rolling down from the sides of his eyes.
