Ayesha's pov
.
"What are the precautions to be taken?" Jeeju asked and I sighed
"I told you, none" I said
Today was Reem's doctor's appointment, we just returned home, she has gone to the washroom to take a bath, and I called jeeju to give him an update about what the doctor said, but now he is eating my head by asking the same question repeatedly.
"When will the baby come?" He asked
"Her ninth month has started, we can expect anytime now, as she has entered the safe zone" I said and he exhaled heavily.
"Who are you talking to?" Reem asked, coming from behind me
"Don't disconnect the call I want to listen to her" jeeju said, I just put the phone down.
"Dad" I shrugged, she nodded
Dad has gone to Mumbai for three days, he had an important meeting which he was delaying for so long, but on Reem's persistence he went
Reem laid on the bed and heaved a tired sigh.
"Are you ok?" I asked Reem
"Hmmm! I am fine, just tired" she said a smile was playing on her lips.
"You look very happy today, Mashallah"
"I am just thinking about my ultrasound today, my baby is so cute. Did you see those adorable hands and feet" she was in total awe. The movement of small hands and feet played in my head.
"Yeah that was so cute" I said with a huge smile, suddenly her face turned serious, she sat straight
"You know what Ayesha! I wanted to enjoy these special moments with Izhaan, but I forgot I'm not that lucky" her face turned sad.
I saw it as my chance and decided to talk about jeeju with her, but before I could say anything she spoke
"Anyways! I don't need him anymore, my love is sufficient for my baby" she said
Oh no! Jeeju must've heard this.
"Reem! Don't say that, this is not just your baby, it's jeeju's too" I couldn't stop myself from saying, she stayed quiet.
There was a knock on the door, shiza brought tea and muffins.
"When will you go?" Reem asked, I frowned at her
"Go where?" I asked
"To khan villa" she shrugged
"Why?"
"Oh come on! It's Athar bhai's birthday tomorrow, aren't you going to celebrate it with him?"
I felt a pang on my chest, I badly want to be with Athar and make his birthday the best day of his life, but I can't.
"No Reem! I would stay with you"
"Don't be silly Ayesha! You should go. And if you ask me, I think you should return to khan villa now, I don't like to see you and Athar Bhai away from each other because of me. Please go back to him, for how long you can stay with me, it's not about one day or one week, I will stay here forever, I am never going back to khan villa. And I can't spoil your life because of me" she said, I took a deep breath to calm myself
"Are you done with your crap, or anything left?" I asked, she rolled her eyes, "I'm not leaving you" I said firmly
"Ayesha please, it's his first birthday after your wedding, don't spoil it because of me"
"It's jeeju's birthday also" I reminded her, she fell silent, her eyes filled with water
"I wanted to do so much for him, but he doesn't want me, and there is no way I will force myself on him." She said and laid back on the bed. She turned her side away from me and got busy in her phone
I looked at my phone, jeeju was still on the line, he must have felt so hurt by Reem's words. I quickly got up and came to the other room.
"Hello" I said
"She hates me, doesn't she?" He asked
"No she doesn't"
"There was so much hatred in her tone for me" he said
My heart hurts at his tone, I know he misses Reem a lot, he should be with her on his birthday.
Athar and I have been trying to bring them face to face for so long, but all our attempts are failing.
That night at the restaurant jeeju left when he saw Reem's car, then we planned a movie, at first Athar and jeeju got stuck in the traffic, and by the time they reached Reem and I left already as she was feeling unwell, there are a couple more failures also, but not tonight, I will bring them closer
I can't deny that I really want to be with Athar on his birthday, but I was worried about Reem also and now I see a way where I can kill two birds with one stone.
"Jeeju! I need a favour from you." I said sounding so desperately in need of a help
"What can I do for you?" He asked
"You know it's Athar's first birthday after we've met and I wanted to make it special for him, but I can't leave Reem alone" I said suppressing an evil laugh
"I understand. Don't worry I will send dadi or maa to be with Reem" he said and I facepalmed myself
"I feel so uncomfortable in asking them to come here, jeeju please, why don't you come here" I said as sweetly as possible
"Me? What? You know that's not possible. I can't come in front of Reem"
"You can come here while she's asleep, she anyways doesn't wake up after she takes medicine, so just be around her and I will return in the morning" I asked filling hopefulness in my voice
"I don't think it's a good idea, it's too risky" he sounded so worried, I rolled my eyes
Mera koi plan pura nahi hone dete yeh (he doesn't let my plan be successful). But I am also Ayesha, I won't let him win this time.
"It's fine jeeju! Don't come, so what if I wanted to make Athar's birthday special, I can always do it next year, how does it matter that it was his first birthday with me." I heaved a defeated sigh
"Are you sure she won't wake up?" He asked and I grinned ear to ear
"Hundred percent sure" I said
"Ok! What time should I come then?" He asked and I fisted in air, I was happy at my victory.
I was feeling happy, after a while it has happened that I have got what I wanted, jeeju and Reem will be together, while I get to spend time with Athar.
****
I opened the door for jeeju, he entered the house, his eyes were roaming around.
"She has taken the medicine and now she is sleeping, she won't wake up, don't worry" I said
"Why has she taken the medicine? And which medicine is this that will make her sleep like this?" He asked
"The doctor prescribed it, it's for the body and the mind relaxation, she doesn't take it regularly, but since we have gone to the doctor and she was feeling very tired, so her doctor told her to take the medicine before sleeping" I eased his worry.
"Oh ok" he nodded
"She's asleep now! You can go in the room, and I will leave" I said
"Are you sure this is fine?"
"Absolutely jeeju! Please stop worrying." I said, he nodded, "I will be back by the breakfast time" I said
"No need! I spoke with Hayat, she will come here after Fajr prayer. You can spend the day with Athar, he will like it" he said and I don't know why but I felt a little shy
"There is no need to bother Hayat, I will come"
"It's fine, I will stay here till you won't return, Hayat will be with Reem. We will take care of everything, you can take it as your day off" he smiled
"Thank you" I blushed, he hesitantly walked to Reem's room while I walked outside the house.
It's ten o'clock in the night and Athar is still in the office, I created a situation where he is stuck in work right now. He will come home around 11 o'clock, so I better get to my preparation.
I put the bag of all the essential things at the back seat and sat on the driving seat. Soon I was on my way to khan villa.
Mr Athar Khan! Be ready for your surprise. I smiled.
I reached home and met dadi and maa. I told them how I got jeeju with Reem and I am here to surprise Athar.
I came to my room and got busy in preparation, it was around 11:05 pm when I received a call from Athar.
Oh God he is already here!

Athar's POV
.
I slammed the file on the table, I still have not understood how this pile of work has fallen on my head, every file I open, I see urgent written on it, what the hell is this!
I thought I would leave the office early today and go to Ayesha, we would have gone somewhere out and enjoyed the evening together.
Tomorrow is Izhaan's and mine birthday, obviously there won't be any grand celebration, but I just hoped to spend time with Ayesha, since it will be my first birthday with her.
I looked at the time, it showed 9:40pm, I should have left by now, but there still a lot of work left to be done.
I wish Ayesha was here helping me out with my work, I miss having her around in the office, it's been almost three weeks since she has gone with Reem, and I am going crazy with every passing day.
Allah ji please is Reem ko kuch aqal de dijiye, yeh khud to mere bhai ko tadpa hi rahi hai, meri biwi ko bhi mujhse door kar diya (ya Allah please knock some sense in Reem's head, she is not just making my brother yearn for her, she has kept me away from my wife also)
Ayesha and I have tried so hard to put Reem and Izhaan in front of each other, but fate is not in our favour these days.
Sometimes I feel like tying Reem to a chair and leave her alone with Izhaan, maybe she will listen to him then.
I was ecstatic when I completed my work finally, I looked at the time, it was 10:30 pm, I immediately got up, not even bothering about tidying my table and left from the office.
I feel so bad for buddy, Reem is really testing him and he has got so scared about Reem's health that he is not even doing anything about it.
Let's just hope things become ok between Izhaan and Reem before the arrival of junior, he/she should get love of both the parents.
I sat in my car and headed straight to Abdullah uncle's house. I know it's too late for dinner now, but we can surely go for an ice cream.
My arrival would be a surprise for Ayesha, I'm pretty sure she will be too happy to see me.
Tum nahi aa sakti to kya hua jaana, mai hi aa gaya (so what if you can't come my love, I have come)
By the time I reached Abdullah uncle's house, it was 11 o'clock. It will not look nice to disturb them so late at night, I better call Ayesha outside.
I dialled her number and waited for her to answer my call, but she was taking her sweet time to answer
"Hello" she finally answered at the last ring
"Hi" I said sweetly
"Athar! What do you want?" Her sleepy voice came from the other end
"What were you doing?" I asked
"I was sleeping, why have you disturbed me?" Her groggy voice showed annoyance, I felt so bad, but I quickly recovered
"I am outside Abdullah uncle's house, come to meet me" I said
"What?" She shouted in shock, sleepiness was gone from her voice now, "what are you doing there?" She asked
"I came to meet you" I shrugged
"I am not coming outside, I'm too sleepy" she hurt me
"I have only come here to meet you, if you can't come outside, then I'll come inside" I said
"No" she said firmly
"Ayesha please yaar! Just one glance" I pleaded
"I said no Athar, stop troubling me" she sounded upset.
"Ok! At least come in the balcony, I want to see you badly" I was practically begging her to come, but she showed no mercy to me.
"Athar please, stop being so childish, you have so many pictures of mine look at them if you really want to look at me so badly. And I'm hanging up now, Reem is getting disturbed" she said and hung up. I felt so heartbroken
Reem Reem Reem, that's all she cares about.
I turned on the ignition and left from there.
Do I really mean anything in her life? She doesn't care what I want. It wouldn't have been the end of the world if she had come to meet me for five minutes at least.
She always so bothered about everyone, but when it comes to me, she gives no shit. I was dying to spend time with her but here she is sleeping peacefully.
I thought she would want to spend my birthday with me and she is only quiet because of Reem as she doesn't want to leave her alone, but the truth is Ayesha does not even remember my birthday.
All this while I have shown a huge amount of patience, because I knew Reem needed Ayesha, but this is becoming too much now, she has forgotten me, I am no one to her anymore.
I reached home, parked my car and got outside. I entered the house, I didn't feel like going to my room, at first I thought of going to Izhaan, but I changed my mind because I don't trust myself at the moment, I might say something about Reem's stupidity and Izhaan would not like it, so I headed to dadi's room
The light of her room is on, I softly knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Dadi asked
"It's me" I opened the door and walked in, she was sitting on the bed, while holding a tasbih in her hand, I knew she would be busy in her dhikr
I went to bed and laid down while keeping my head on her lap.
"Athar! Are you ok my child?" Her voice was dipped in sugar syrup, it felt so soothing
"No" I shook my head.
"What happened beta?" She began massaging my head, it was so comforting
"Ayesha doesn't love me, I don't mean anything to her" I told her what was troubling me.
"Why? What did she say?" She asked getting worried now
"I went to meet her to Abdullah uncle's house, but she refused to meet me, I begged her to come outside, but she didn't come" i sighed
"That's it?" She laughed, "go to your room Athar" she removed my head from her lap
"Yaar dadi! I'm sharing my worry with you and you are not even listening to me" I looked at her.
"Because you are worrying for no reason" she smiled, I sat up straight
"I have no importance in Ayesha's life, she cares about everyone except me, you think it's not a valid reason to worry about" I said
"Ayesha is such an amazing girl, she is a gem of a person, how can you even think anything negative about her" dadi got angry at me
"Here I am complaining to you about Ayesha and you can't stop praising her" I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes
"Athar tu itna bada ho gaya hai par bachpana nahi jaa raha tera, woh biwi hai teri, koi teri class mei padhne wali bacchi nahi jiski shikayate lagata phire tu, chal nikal yahan se, jaa apne kamre mei (you have grown up so much still behaving like a kid, she is your wife, not your classmate about whom you keep complaining, get lost from here, go to your room)" she said sternly, my mouth dropped open
"I thought you loved me the most, but no, I was wrong" I stuck my bottom lip out.
"I love you that is why I am telling you to go to your room" she tapped my cheek
"I want to talk to you"
"Stop irritating me and go from here" she pointed towards the door, I huffed and got down the bed, I stomped my foot and marched towards my room.
I kicked open the door of my room.
"Nothing is going in my favour today, I wanted to leave the office early so that I can have dinner with Ayesha, but so much work came out of nowhere, I will take rose' class tomorrow about it." I spoke loudly and took out a shoe and sent it flying
"Then when I went to meet Ayesha, she refused to see me, yeah right, why would she even meet me I don't mean anything to her" I took off another shoe and threw in the air
"I thought dadi would listen to me, but she was not even ready to listen to me"
I took off my coat and threw it on the ground.
"I was just asking for your time Ayesha, even that you could not give me, I am so mad at you"
I stood in front of the dressing table and loosened my tie.
I just noticed that the room was quite dark, only a few candles were lit. Who did it? I saw a basket kept on the dressing table, I don't remember keeping it there, I extended my hand to pick it up, so that I can have a look at it.
The moment I picked it up there was a shower of rose petals on me. Before I could even think about what just happened, two hands came from behind me and covered my eyes. My heart beat spiked instantly
She can't be here!
I held the hands.
"Ayesha?" I asked
"Yes, my love" the angelic voice felt amazing, I quickly turned around
She was there, in front of me. I rubbed my eyes, not really believing in what I was seeing.
"Are you my imagination?" I asked
She smiled and leaned forward.
"Aah" I yelped when she bit my cheek.
"Got your answer?" She giggled.
"How are you here? When did you come? Why are you here? With whom you have come?" I was so stunned to see her that I bombarded her with questions, she laughed.
"I came for you" she cupped my cheeks
"Really?" I asked in disbelief, "and when did you come?"
"Just then when you were cursing me" she narrowed her eyes at me, I felt guilty
"I wasn't" I smiled sheepishly. "Is that really you?"
"Of course!" She gave a quick kiss on my cheek.
"I can't believe you are really here" I said
"What is this Athar? I came here and decorated the room, I got ready for you and you are not believing it" she pouted.
I looked around, the room was decorated with roses and there was even a "happy birthday" banner stuck on the wall. In my anger I couldn't see it earlier.
I brought my gaze on Ayesha and forgot to breathe, she looked so beautiful in black coloured saree, she curled her hair and did the perfect amount of makeup, I gulped hard when I noticed her red lips.
"Haye" I put my hand over my heart, "maarne ka irada hai kya? (Are you planning to murder me?)" I asked bending towards her, she put her arms around my neck
"Maybe" she batted her eyelashes making me crazy. I held her waist and pulled her closer to me.
"You are so beautiful" I ran a finger on her face, she shivered under my touch, I pulled her even closer leaving no space between us, my eyes were at her rose petals like lips, I leaned down to kiss her, but before our lips could touch I remembered something and pulled back.
"If you are here, who's there with Reem?" I asked
"I came here to celebrate your birthday, so I thought why not let jeeju enjoy his birthday also" she smiled brightly, my eyes widened
"Izhaan is with Reem? How? Will she be ok seeing him?" I asked, she smacked her lips
"Reem is asleep after taking her medicine, jeeju will be around her, and she won't know it" she said
"I hope she doesn't wake up and see him"
"She won't" she shook her head.
"Did you plan all this?" I asked, she nodded, "without me?" I made a sad face.
"Because I was planning to surprise you, so how could I include you in the plan?" She raised her eyebrows at me
"So when I called you..."
"I was already here preparing all this for you"
"Does everyone know you are here?" I asked
"Obviously"
"No wonder dadi was so adamant to send me to my room" It all made sense now. "Thank you. It's good to know that I am also a part of your life" I said, she held my hand.
"You are not "just" the part of my life, "you" are my life" her words bursted my heart with happiness. "And don't say anything to Rose, it was all my plan to keep you busy, so that I can plan a surprise for you" she said
"You are amazing" I kissed the tip of her nose.
"I am just happy that I could do something for you. And I am also happy that jeeju is with Reem" she said and I actually felt happy for Izhaan
"Thanks for that also" I said
"I did it for him, he is such a loving person, he is dying without Reem, still he is not pressurising her to listen to him. He is already proving himself as a great father, I saw the things he has prepared for the baby. I wish Reem sees it soon that she has got a complete package, a doting husband and a ca...."
"Enough Ayesha! You are making me jealous of my own brother" I narrowed my eyes at her
"Oh please Athar! Now you are jealous of jeeju also?" She asked, I held her arms and pulled her to me
"I am even jealous of the air around you, because it stays with you more than I do, it touches you more. I wish you could see how possessive I am about you" I whispered in her ear
"Athar!" She pulled back. "It's your birthday, let's cut the cake" she beamed, she held my hand and took me towards the coffee table, she lit the candles and I could see a heart shaped chocolate cake there, she sang a birthday song for me, I took her hand in mine and together we cut the cake
"Happy Birthday" she said and I fed her the cake
She tried taking the piece of the cake from my hand but I pulled my hand back, she frowned at me
"Let me feed you" she whined
"I'll have it my way" I said, before giving her time to understand what I meant, I put my lips on hers.
The mixed flavour of her cherry lipstick and the chocolate was driving me insane, without breaking the kiss I carried her to the bed.

Izhaan's pov
.
I took a deep breath and entered the room, I was anxious that she might wake up and get mad at me for being there.
The light in the room was dim. My heartbeat increased when I saw Reem, but I rolled my eyes when I saw her sleeping on her back, why is she in this position? Doesn't she know that it will cut off her blood flow.
Very carefully I turned her to her left side as it is the most advised position to sleep in the final trimester, I put pillows behind her back, thankfully she didn't wake up.
I looked at her, pregnancy has made her even more beautiful, her skin was glowing and her hair looked so glossy. My eyes teared seeing her in front of me after so long.
Slowly I sat next to her, I was on her belly's level, so that I could talk to my baby.
"Assalamualaikum my sunshine!" I said in a very low tone, "I know you are really not familiar with my voice, I am your father." carefully I kept my hand on the baby bump, I just thought the baby will get close to my touch.
"Your mom says, you are a boy, and your Chachi says you are a girl, but you know what baby, I don't care what you are, I just want you to be healthy and blessed."
"Your mom is upset with your dad, please come soon and help me in convincing her, I want you both so close to me." I looked at Reem, "tell me, will you help me?" I asked, I was just about to remove my hand, suddenly I felt some movement beneath it. It was definitely my baby, I took my face closer to her belly.
"My baby! I love you so much." I placed a feather kiss on her bump, "do you love your father?" I asked and the baby started moving crazily, I smiled, my eyes went to Reem, she stirred
"Calm down, my tiger, we don't want to disturb your mother" I said.
I laid next to Reem and looked at her, she looked so innocent, I removed a lock of hair which curtained her face from me.
My breath hitched looking at her. I don't even remember when was the last time, I was this close to her, when was the last time I touched her.
I wish I could go back in time and stop Reem from coming to the cafe that day. I wouldn't have lost her.
"I am sorry jaan" I whispered.
I was taken aback when suddenly Reem's eyes opened and she looked at me
Oh shit!
I was struggling with words, but she suddenly spoke.
"Izhaan! You have come again!" Her voice was hoarse, I opened my mouth to speak, but stayed quiet when she kept her hand on my cheek
"Why do you come to me? What have you left with me? I told you earlier also that I don't want to see you" she said
Wait! She thinks I am her imagination?
"I love you so much Izhaan" she said and I felt as if my heart stopped beating at her confession. Her heavy eyelids were clearly showing that she is under the effect of her medicine and talking in sleep.
"But I don't want to love you, I want to hate you. You hurt me" she said and I was listening to her without even blinking my eyes.
"Why can't I hate you?" She asked with so much innocence in her eyes, that I couldn't stop a smile forming on my lips.
"Don't worry, I will learn to hate you and live without you. You left me, I will also leave you, just wai...." Her voice kept getting deeper and her eyelids were dropping, then finally she closed her eyes
"I w.. will forget you o.. one d.. day" she said in her sleep.
I leaned down and kissed her forehead, she immediately scooted closer to me, I carefully kept my arm over her.
I inhaled her scent deeply. I felt so alive to have her in my arms. I miss being with her. I took her hand in mine and kissed her palm.
"Kya kaha tumne, mere bina jeena sikhogi? Mujhse nafrat karna seekh logi? Tumhari to aisi ki taisi, bas ek bar doctor se green signal mil jaye utha k le jaunga tumhe biwi (what did you say? You will learn to live without me, you will learn to hate me, to hell with you. I'm just waiting for a green signal from the doctor, I will take you from here wifey)" I said to asleep Reem.
I am in close touch with Reem's doctors, and the only reason why I am taking so many precautions around her is because of her own health, the day doctor will tell me she is strong enough, I will talk to her and bring her back to me.
It is becoming so difficult to stay without her, I have become like fish without water. I looked at her, I couldn't resist I pecked her lips, she looked so adorable.
"Hey beautiful ! You are the love of my life, my wife, the mother of my child, you are my peace, I love you to bits" I pulled her closer to me
I was so heartbroken when I heard her telling Ayesha that she will never return to me, but after spending time with her, I am so optimistic, she is also having equally hard time without me, her imaginations about me is a clear sign.
It was so comforting that I didn't realise when I fell asleep, my eyes opened with the sound of azaan, I checked the time it was Fajr time.
I was hesitant to move away from her, it was so cozy, reluctantly I peeled myself away from her, and headed to the washroom, to perform ablution.
I performed salah and then raised my hands to pray.
Ya Allah! Only you are aware of what is in my heart, you are the witness of my love for Reem, please remove it from her heart that I will leave her and I don't love her enough, please do something to make her believe that I can even die for her, I love her and my kid the most in the world.
I turned back to look at her, I recited some verses from the Qur'an and got up to blow on her.
Please help me Allah
My phone vibrated, it was Hayat's call, I quickly answered, she was here and asking me to open the door for her. I told her I'm coming and hung up.
I glanced at Reem, I leaned down and kissed her cheek, then I kissed her belly.
"Bye sunshine, be good to mommy. We will be together soon"
With heavy heart I left the room.
I came downstairs, and opened the door for Hayat, she immediately went upstairs to Reem.
I sat on the sofa, it was so nice to spend time with Reem, best birthday gift ever. I must thank Ayesha. I quickly took out my phone and texted thank you to her.

Reem's POV
.
The harsh sunrays fell on my face breaking my slumber, Izhaan must have forgotten to put the curtains on last night.
Wait! Izhaan?
My eyes snapped open. I looked around, I was at dad's house only, but why do I feel Izhaan around me?
I put my hands on my face, I could feel his touch, I could smell him on me, my imaginations are going too vast these days, I ran my hand in my hair.
I got off the bed and went to the washroom, after freshning up I returned to the room, I noticed someone was sleeping in the bed.
When did Ayesha return? I thought she went to khan villa.
"Ayesha" I went closer, my eyes widened when I noticed it wasn't Ayesha, it was Hayat.
When did she come here?
It must have been Ayesha, I'm sure she sent her here to be with me, I feel so guilty for keeping Ayesha so occupied with me. She should be taking care of Athar Bhai, not me.
My stomach grumbled, I felt so hungry. I looked around the room there was nothing to eat, I rolled my eyes, just because Ayesha is not there to order no one kept anything for me to eat.
I checked the time, it was 6:30 am, I'm pretty sure they all are in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I feel so hungry, I will have to go.
Without making any noise, I exited the room, carefully I descended the stairs.
My eyes widened in shock when I saw Izhaan sleeping on the couch. I was walking towards him, suddenly shiza came behind me
"Reem Bibi" she shouted, I turned around and looked at her
"Why are you shouting? I'm right here" I said and turned back to look at Izhaan, but he wasn't there, I sighed
What should I do with these imaginations!
"What are you doing here, I was just bringing your breakfast upstairs" I noticed she was holding a tray of food.
"Ok. Take it upstairs, I'm coming" I said and she went upstairs
I went and sat on the sofa, I sighed deeply.
"Why don't you leave me alone Izhaan? You are the only one who didn't want me, then why are you troubling me?" I said to non existing Izhaan
"So what you never loved me, I loved you and I still do" my eyes teared at my helplessness, "the more I try to hate you, the more I want to love you, why did you do it with me?" I wiped my tears
"Happy Birthday! May Allah gives you whatever you ask for, Ameen" I said.
Cough cough
I heard someone cough from behind the sofa, I frowned, who can that be. I got up to have a look.
"Reem Bibi, why are you still here? Your food is getting cold" shiza came running down the stairs
"I heard someone from there" I pointed at the sofa
"There is no one" she smiled weirdly, I wanted to argue with her, but since I was starving, I thought filling up my stomach was more important, so I went upstairs.
I will do everything to take care of my baby, because he is the only one who will love me to no end, he will never leave me, in sha Allah.
I returned to the room, hayat was still sleeping, she looked so cute sleeping with her mouth open.
I miss Khan villa, I miss everyone, but I will have to stay strong, going back there is not an option for me now.

Ayesha's pov
.
I was pacing around the corridor, I was eagerly waiting for my reports to come.
I have come to the hospital to confirm my suspicion, I have given my sample and now i was waiting for the results.
It was Athar's birthday yesterday, we spent a wonderful day together, but I was not feeling well the entire day, it's been happening to me for a few days that is why I decided to get myself checked.
I laughed so hard when jeeju told me how he played hide and seek with Reem yesterday, she had no idea what happened with her.
Nobody knows that I am in the hospital right now, I thought I will find out first then only I will tell it to anyone.
My palms were turning sweaty, I was feeling so nervous. I had popcorn popping like sensations in my stomach.
"Mrs Ayesha Athar Khan" I heard someone calling my name, I turned around and found a nurse waving an envelope at me, "your report is ready, please go to meet Dr. Palak" she handed me the file and instructed me to go to the gynaecologist.
My hands were shaking while taking the report, I couldn't even open it, I went straight to the doctor's room.
I knocked on the door.
"Come in Ayesha!" She smiled looking at me.
I went inside and handed the envelope to her, she opened it and a smile broke on her face.
"Your suspicion was right, congratulations you are pregnant" she beamed, a wave of happiness ran in me.
Alhamdulillah I'm pregnant. I grinned so hard that my cheeks started to get hurt. It felt so unreal, my hands subconsciously went to my non existing bump.
"Is everything ok with the baby?" I asked with a racing heart.
"I will just do a quick ultrasound and check" she said and my heart dropped to my stomach.
"Ok" I nodded
She called the nurse and asked her to make me lie down. I anxiously followed her instructions.
The doctor came and started my ultrasound.
"You are at very early stage of pregnancy, all looks well. Baby is absolutely healthy. Nothing to worry about" she said and relief washed over me.
After finishing my ultrasound the doctor went back to her room telling me to go and meet her there.
I will go to Athar right now and tell him the news, he will be over the moon. I was so excited that I wanted to scream.
I got up and went back to the doctor. I sat in front of her.
"I'm just writing some vitamins for you, take them on time, rest everything is perfect" she said
"Do I need to take any precautions?" I asked
"Just basic, don't lift weight, eat on time, don't take stress" she said, I nodded. I can't wait to tell everyone about it.
Oh God I'm so happy.
A nurse came in the room and handed an envelope to the doctor.
"These are Reem's report, you can take them" she handed me the envelope.
"Is everything ok in the report?" I asked
"Ya ya! Reem and the baby is absolutely fine" she smiled, and I released a sigh of relief. "Just tell Reem to be careful, she is ready to deliver at any time now, she needs to be aware of every possible sign of labour and tell her to stay active" the doctor said and I nodded vigorously.
"Thank you doctor" I smiled and got up.
"You are welcome" she said
I came quickly outside the room and called Athar, before I could speak he spoke
"Where the hell are you Ayesha? I have been trying to call you for so long. I was so worried about you, I was just coming to see you" he shouted, he sounded so worried, that my heartbeat spiked
"Say something" he yelled
"I came out for some grocery shopping. I'm sorry"
"You should have been careful about your phone, I was getting so worried about you" he said
"I will" I said, "Athar I will call you in a while" I hung up immediately.
I dropped on the bench.
At one side there's overprotective Athar, and on the other hand, there's Reem, who needs a lot of care now.
If I tell him about my pregnancy, he won't let me stay with her. And I can't risk leaving her alone at this stage.
I can't tell anyone about my pregnancy at the moment, I will have to wait for a while.
