Asfandyar's house

Next morning

Jaldi jaldi breakfast ker lo Saim phir tum ko school jana hai Gaiti

Seeing Asfi coming in dining hall she said : asfi kya tum aaj Saim ko school drop ker do gae..

Asfi : Sure 

Fariyal asked : aaj aap kahin ja rahi hain jo Saim ko drop nahi ker rahi hain

Gaiti : Haan mai aur mumma Zubia se milne ja rahe hain..

Fariyal made face but didn't say anything infront of asfandyar as she  remembered Asfi reaction and secondly ahe was happy that Asfi is not joining them.

At the that very moment Asfi mobile rings

Asfi : hello

.....

Asfi : Walaikum assalam warehmatullahi wabarakatuhu

....

Asfi : abhi tak... Ok check her temperature and let me know.

.....

Asfi : Ok.. You can take rest once mumma and Gaiti bhabhi reach there.

After disconnecting the call he turned to his mother and said : hopefully you will be able to take care of her as the nurse has been doing duty since yesterday.

Gaiti : yes we will you don't worry

Ok and thank you... (turning to Saim)  chalo champ aaj hum dono masti kerte jayeinge Asfi said.

As Asfi goes out with Saim

Fariyal : Gaiti tum ko nahi lagta sab log Zubia ko zada hi importance de rahe hain specially Asfi.

Gaiti not liking her comment said : nahi aisa kuch nahi hai.

Lubna coming out of her room all set to go Gaiti beta tumne Zubia ke liye kuch khana ban waya hai ya nahi.

Gaiti : ji mumma maine pack erwa k car me rakhwa diya hai.

Lubna : chalo phir chalein

Zubia's mess:

After talking to Asfi sleep was out of question as a result she fell asleep in early morning hours when medicine took a toll over her.

When Lubna and Gaiti entered they saw nurse was a bit tense and trying to wake Zubia

Ma'am please uth jaye... Ma'am said nurse

Kya hua sister asked Lubna.

Before she could reply they heard Zubia murmuring in sleep

Meri Ammi ko mat marye... Please Abbi meri ammi ko chor dijiye.... Ammi please mujh ko mat chor ke jaye aap ke sewa mera koi nahi... Ammi please mujh ko akele mat kerye ...

Seeing her like this Lubna and Gaiti rushed towards her with tears flowing from their eyes.

Gaiti : Zubia Zubia uthoo please

Lubna kept on caressing her head and said beta uth jaye , zubia meri bachchi utho please

Zubia : Ammiiiiii she screamed and got up. Looking here and there searching for her mother as soon as her eyes landed on Lubna she hugged her and started crying... Abbi ne meri ammi ko maar dala mai akeli reh gae.

Lubna : nahi meri bachchi tum akeli nahi ho hum log hain tumhare pass chup ho jao.

Gaiti : haan mai hu na tumhari bari behen please chup ho jao.

Zubia : kept on crying with her head on Lubna's shoulder and murmuring meri ammi meri ammi...

Seeing her Gaiti said agar tum chup nahi hue to mai Asfi ko kal ker dungi.

Hearing his name her crying reduce and she just closed her eyes and rested on Lubna's shoulder as she was getting motherly warmth from her.

Lubna : Beta aaj apne hum ko dara diya tha aur aap ne kaise soch liya aap akeli hain. Mai aap ki ammi to nahi hu per kya aap mujh ko apni MUMMA banne ka haq de sakti hain.

Zubia : raised her head and looked at her with hesitation and said aap ko mere bare me kuch nahi pata hai agar pata hota to shayad aap bhi mujhse rishta nahi jor na chahiyega.

Lubna asked looking at Zubia with a sad look: agar meri jagah aap ki ammi hoti to bhi aap yahi kehte? Ya mere pyaar me koi kami hai ki aap ye haq humko nahi dena chahti hain.

Zubia with tears in her eyes: Nahi,  aunty aap is duniya ki sab se pyaari mumma hain.

Lubna : to phir saabit kerye

Kaise asked Zubia

Lubna : Aaj se mujh ko apni mumma bana ke

Ok aun.. Ok Mumma said Zubia with a smile on her face and happy tears in her eyes.

Lubna : chalo ab rona dhona band aur ye khana khao

Zubia : ji mumma..

Lubna : aise nahi aaj apni beti ko hum khilayeinge

Saying this she started feeding her food from her hand.

Looking at them Gaiti said : beti mili to aap mujh ko bhul gae.

Nahi aao tumko bhi aaj mai apne haathon se khilaungi.
