present day

It was around 4:00 pm when I recieved a call from my husbands phone. I picked up the call immediately.

'Hello, Tamam?' I said, my voice with fear evident in them.

'hello ma'am, I called you to  inform that your husband has met with an accident and is taken to a nearby hospital' .

Before he could finish, I slammed down the phone . My fear had reached its peak. I wanted to scream my lungs out. I disconnected the call and dialled my brother but failed to get a response.

Left with no option. I decided to go to hospital. I took our car keys and left home  All through the way, I tried to remain calm, convincing myself that nothing that happened

I rushed towards the hospital,  once in, I went straight to reception desk and enquired, 'would you please check if  you have registered a patient by the name Tamam.

The Receptionist immediately opened the register and started searching for Tamam's name. I tried to maintain calm though i was in tears.

'Yes ma'am, it was a emergency case and was shifted to ICU but now is in room no. 104' the receptionist replied.

I stood there in silence . what if something had happened. my head was throbbing  and i had million questions running .

I reached room no.104 and slightly pushed  the door. My worst fear  came true. My tamam lying on the bed. His mother holding his hand and crying.

I mustered the courage and asked his mother.

' Is he fine'

she remained quite for a bit and i knew that she was ignoring me on purpose. I repeated my question. Before  she could answer, I saw  his sister walking towards me . she didn't  speak a word but kept crying. I wiped her tears.

' Please tell me what happened?' i continued ' its killing me'.

 she still remained quite . she lifted the cloth that covered him.

I stopped dead in my track. What i saw before me was a nightmare. His body was covered with white cloth and his eyes closed. I clutched her hand tightly.

' Dee please tell me , its a nightmare'.

Before she  could answer , his brothers entered the room followed by his his father.

'we will take his body  home tomorrow morning and the burial will be after zuhr' said one of his brother.

His father nodded with a pained expression. I cast a glance at Tamam. He looked peaceful. suddenly i felt alone. I had no emotions left in me. I was numb.  He had promised me that he would return soon. How could he break his promise. I Hugged his mother tightly and tears began to trickle down my cheeks.

' Don't cry dear, He wouldn't like it, we all are with you' she consoled me.

All the beloved memories from the time spent together came flashing in front of my eyes . I was broken and heart couldn't bear all this. I stood there next to his body like a statue. I was numb.

 Seeing my mom walking towards me. I wiped my tears as  tears began to trickle.

In my hurry to reach hospital I had left my phone at home.

' Simmi,please leave , I cant  see you like this' His mom requested me.

Eventually , me and my parents left the hospital . sleep never invaded me. I kept praying and hoping that it was all a  bad dream. When i closed my eyes, I was reminded of our memories. 

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT TILL TODAY.
