Waiting For A MIRACLE..

And it begins!

"You value something when it's lost"

And it Begins..

'Someday you will come to see me but you won't be able to meet me',

With those words playing through his head, Fawad's eyes became teary and he could not hold any more and started sobbing during dua, sitting on mat offering Maghrib salah.

After salah, he read few verses of the Qur'an and raised his hand in dua, this time the tears have dried, as he said, "Ya Allah, the merciful and forgiver of all, please forgive me and let me seek your miracle."

Fawad was called for dinner but he lost his appetite since that day and didn't have the courage and energy to sit and eat with everyone. He did not feel like facing the world or his family.

He spent most of his time talking to Allah or reminiscing memories and days of his past and when he had any left time, he would do his work with the least interest and detest.

'Fawad please come and have something', Huda said leaning against his room's door.

'No bhabhi, I just had tea before maghrib', Fawad said, trying to sound strong and happy. 

'Ammi is waiting for you, we have been calling for you for an hour Fawad Bhai, please go and have something' Huda asked with hope in her eyes.

'Umm.. Okay. I'm coming bhabhi' Fawad got up from his work desk and made his way to the dining room downstairs.

'Assalamaleikum Ammi, Why didn't you have your dinner yet?' Fawad asked. You have to take your medicines too. Please don't be careless.

Aamina took a deep breath before speaking, 'Fawad It's you who is being careless and it's you who skips his dinner, Allah knows if you really take your lunch in the office or lie to us every day.

Fawad was silent.

Zubair called me today, he said every time you ignore your colleagues when they come to ask you for lunch.

'Ammi, I had loads of work today so I could not make it up with them', Fawad said hating himself for lying to his Mom.

'We all know what you're going through and we completely empathize with you, but please don't make yourself sick. Trust Allah, He knows the best.' Aamina said holding back her tears.

Fawad took his mom's hand and assured her that he will take her words seriously and won't let her down while he himself tried to smile through his tears...
