Irum woke up after having the most wonderful sleep she had ever experienced.
As she opened her eyes, she saw Haider sleeping beside her. He was holding her tightly in his warm hug, making her feel safe and secure.
Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at his face and continued to gaze at him with deep affection.
After admiring her brother for a few more minutes, Irum decided to get out of bed.
Haider, still asleep, frowned as he no longer could feel his sister's warmth.
Suddenly, an image of his sister covered in blood flashed in his mind, causing his heart to race.
He started hearing voices echoing in his ears,
"it's your fault"
"she will die"
"you couldn't save her Haider"
"Your the worst brother"
"your just selfish, you care about no one but yourself"
"You don't deserve to be loved by her"
Gasping for breath, he sat down and looked around the room.
Realizing Irum was nowhere to be found, he quickly got up and rushed to search for her
Irum opened the door of the bathroom "Bhai?" she frowned seeing him breathing heavily
Haider who was about to go outside stopped listening to her voice
He rushed to her and engulfed her in a tight hug... Irum was confused but she returned the hug
"bhai ap theek hein?" she could feel his heart beating very fast...
Haider who knew he would burst into tears if he said a word, just nodded
Haider kept hugging her close to his heart... He was trying his best to not let the tears in his eyes fall
"bhai kya ho gaya ha mujhay batein na please mujhay tension ho rahi ha" She tried to break the hug but Haider just tightened it...
"Please Ira abhi aise hi raho" he pleaded, Irum's eyes widened upon hearing his thick voice
"bhai ap ro rahe hein?" she rubbed his back to calm him down
He shook his head and controlled his emotions...
"mein theek hun sorry apko pareshan kar diya" he smiled and kissed her forehead
"uff Allah bhai apko bukhar to nahi ha" She kept his hand on his head checking for fever
He chuckled and shook his head "Ho gai ha dramebazi to nashta karne chalein, agar time par nahi pohonche to aghujaan apko to kuch nahi kahein gi par apni soti se mujhay zarur marein gi"
"Hayee kitna maza ai ga na," she said teasingly making him glare at her
"Acha ap chalo mein mun hath dho kar ata hun," he said and moved to his room
He entered the bathroom and immediately went to the shower.
He turned on the water, which was very cold and stood under it, allowing the water to soak his clothes.
He sat down on the floor and covered his mouth with his hand to prevent his sobs from being heard outside.
The image of Irum, covered in blood and lying lifeless in his arms, was causing him immense pain, he was dying with every passing moment.
He cried, hiding his face in his hands.
He didn't even realize that 15 minutes had passed since he entered the bathroom until someone knocked on the door, bringing him out of his heart-wrenching thoughts.
"Haider?" Ali knocked on the door
He took a deep breath and turned the shower off
"ji bhaijaan" he tried his best to sound Normal
"bahar ao," Ali said his voice was stern
"aik minute bhaijaan kapre change kar lun" he immediately changed his clothes, after washing his face
Haider walked out once his face was back to its normal colour... He saw Ali sitting on his bed waiting for him
"ji bhaijaan?" he questioned sounding completely normal
Ali walked towards him "Itni der kyun laga di?" Haider looked down "Sorry time ka pata hi nahi chala"
Ali smiled Haider was looking like a cute little child who was about to get scolded...
Ali embraced haider and creased his head "Let it out, Bache"
That was it for haider to break... He started crying badly hiding his face in Ali's neck
"It's okay" Ali whispered while rubbing his back
After 10 minutes of crying hysterically, Haider finally calmed down
Ali made him sit on the bed and gave him a glass of water to drink... Ali embraced him once again.
While Haider kept his head on Ali's chest... His face was red due to all the crying.
He was looking extremely adorable...
"Bhaijaan aur nahi ho raha mujh se, mein yeh sab nahi kar sakta" he cried
"Haider hua kya ha mujhay batao to sahi?" he gently asked
"bhaijaan woh din jab woh sab hua tha" he hiccuped "mein ankhe band karta hun to woh sab yaad ane lagta ha, mujh se nahi ho raha" Ali's eyes misted remembering that day when his brother broke completely
To this day nothing has been able to mend his broken heart back
"bhaijaan mein churi (knife) dekhta hun to dil karta hai apne ap ko mar dun... Chat se kud jao, par kisi tarhan us sab ko bhul jaon" he sobbed
"shh aise nahi kehta... Tumhare bagheir hamra kya hoga hmm, aur Irum woh to guilt se gee nahi pai gi agar usko Pata chala ke tumhe uski wajah se kuch hua ha" he softly made him understand
"mujh se nahi ho raha bhaijaan us bachi ki tarse hui ankhe mere tarf dekh kar mera dil phat ta ha... Mein yeh sab nahi kar sakta... Pechla no (9) salon se uski ankhon me mein ne aik bhi ansu nahi dekha aur yeh sab mere wajah se hai... Woh kese kar leti ha yeh bhaijaan... Usko dekh kar mein mar jaun ga" Ali tightened his grip as Haider cried even harder
"Bs bs haider bs karo aur nahi rona bache tabyat kharab ho jai gi" haider shook his head
"Mujhay koi faraq nahi parta, acha ho ga agar mein mar jaun, I deserve it" he mumbled
Ali looked at him sternly and whacked him hard on his back making him hiss...
"oww kya ha yaar bhaijaan" he whined and rubbed his backside
"kya 'oww' haan aik thapar par to tumhara 'oww' nikal gaya aur marne ki batein Karte ho" he mocked him
"ab chalo bahir nasta karo, is sab ke bare mein mat socho, jitna socho ge utna hi yeh tumhe pareshan kare gi"
Haider again shook his head
"mujhay kahi nahi jana aise hi rahein" Ali chuckled and kissed his head
"Acha beta apne sath sath mujhay bhi mar parwao ge aghujaan se" Haider smiled mischievously
"Hn to kha lena mar wese bhi konse nai baat ha, hum sab mein Hamza ke baad sab se zayad mar ap ne hi khai ha" Ali glared at him
"Acha beta aur apna bhul gai... Wese bhi mein ab mar to nahi kahta na tumhari tarhan"
"Ho jhuta abhi 2 din pehla mein ne dekha tha Aghajaan apko dande se mar rahe the aur ap larkiyon ki tarhan chekh rahe the" Ali looked at him with wide eyes
"tum mujh par jasusi kar rahe the" haider shook his head
"nahi mein to sirf study ke pas se guzar raha tha ap ki chekhein sun kar ruk gaya aur dekh liya" Ali glared at him
"Acha beta bahi batata hun" Haider ran as fast as he could as soon as he noticed that Ali was gonna wack him...
