'If ALLAH intends good for someone, then he afflicts him with trial'

"What have you thought?" Urwa asked Fasih while they were strolling in park
"I don't know." Fasih took a sigh
"Will you leave her?"
"I don't know." Another sigh left his mouth
"Fasih?" Urwa stopped walking and looked at Fasih
"Zaim Bhai isn't wrong, you have to take a decision. This can't happen all life."
"Hayfa ko chance dene ko Dil razi nahi Hai, lekin jab baat talaq pe ati Hai toh ajeeb sa lagta hai."
(My heart doesn't agree on forgiving her but I fell weird whenever I thought about divorcing her.)
"Kyuki humari society mein talaq ko abhi bhi gandi nazar se dekha jata Hai." Urwa add, on which Fasih didn't said anything but his heart agreed with it
(Because divorce is seen as sin in out society.)
"Lekin Hayfa ko maaf karne ka Dil nahi Kar raha." He told her
(But I can not forgive her.)
"Fasih, main tumhe nahi keh sakti ki kya Karo, ya tumhare liye Kya sahi Hai kyuki woh sirf tum jante ho. Lekin ab tumhe ek decision Lena chahiye."
(I can tell you what to do or what is good for you, because only you know what is good for you. But Fasih you have to take a decision now.)
"Ussey agar main maaf karna bhi chahu lekin woh at least sharminda toh ho, guilty toh ho, lekin woh galti pe galti Kar rahi Hai."
(If I want to forgive her but she should at least be ashamed of her doing. But no, she is making mistake on mistake.)
"Nafrat karne ke hazar reason de rahi Hai lekin maaf karne ka ek bhi nahi de rahi Hai woh." Fasih put his hand behind his neck, scratching it
(She has gave me thousand reasons to hate her but none to forgive her.)
"Mujhe lagta Hai tumhara Dil usse chorhna nahi chahta. Warna tum usse maaf karne ke reason na dhoondte." Urwa seriously told him with a smile
(I think you don't want to leave her, otherwise you wouldn't have searched for a reason to forgive her.)

Few days passed as Hayfa came to live with her parents
She was finding peace there, the attention and love that she always wanted all by herself she was getting it now
Her days spend with Ayesha, All those moments she never lived now she is living it
All those talks and secret she never shared with her mother now she is having those conversations
In evening they have coffee with dose of laughter and jokes. Sometimes she and Latif Hussain play chess
She was glad she was getting her parents love all by herself, there is no Hanaya to divert their parents attention to herself
Latif Hussain and Ayesha did talked about Hanaya that's sometime ruin her mood but she quickly masked it, didn't want to upset herself,
She was enjoying every moment there but that doesn't mean she doesn't miss Fasih
She did and she was hoping he misses her too
But whom she is kidding
He must be busy with Urwa
Or in the thought of Hanaya
"Hayfa!" Ayesha's voice made her startled
"Ji, mamma?"
(Yes,)
"Would you like to help me in kitchen?" On which Hayfa nod her head and went to kitchen with her mother
She has never interested herself in household chores nor Ayesha or Latif force her to
But now she do anything just to spend more time with her mother

Hanaya woke up from her sleep due feeling sharp pain in her abdomen
Groaning she opened her eyes, holding her bump she tried to get up when she felt something wet on the bed, between her legs
She looked down but her baby bump came in sight, blocking her view
Touching the wetness with her hand she looked at it
Her finger was wet from blood which was enough to frightened her
She opened her mouth to call Zaim. But, nothing came out, only air came out
A twich feeling was still in her abdomen. she opened her mouth many times to call Zaim but as if her tongue got tied
Tears stream down from her eyes to her face as she held her bump, praying her child is okay
Not having energy to get up or call anyone, Hanaya layed her head back to pillow
She took her hand to the light lamp beside side table and make it fall on floor, creating noise that she hoped someone might hear
"Hanaya!" Zaim quickly came to room when he heard something shattering, he found Hanaya laying on bed
Hanaya raised her hand at him to hold it which he quickly went to her and found her under the pool of blood
"Mum.... Mummy." Panic rushed in his veins as he held Hanaya's hand tightly
<><><>
It's half an hour since doctor took Hanaya to emergency ward, the baby kicked it's way on wrong side due to being shifted its placed causing the bleeding
"Mr. Hussain, your wife has lost lots blood, we have to arrange o+ blood for her." Doctor came out from emergency ward and told him
"I'm o+." Fasih quickly jump on his feet and told doctor
Doctor nod his head and called a nurse to check on Fasih's blood
While doctor took Zaim to her cabin
"Mr Hussain, I'm not gonna give you any false hope, we can only save one life, mother or child." Doctor's first sentence took his heart beat away
"We don't have much time, we have to operate her, you need to decide whom to save."
"My wife." His voice was low, almost as if he didn't said anything
"Please save my wife." Doctor nod her head and told him he have to sing some papers then they can start the operation
With shaking hands he signed the papers
The child that he and Hanaya was so happy about, he had gave permit to doctor to let it die
Hanaya's life was more important right now
But what will he told her when she'll ask about their kid
He dried his eyes, not letting the tears fall. He can't be vulnerable, he needs to be strong for Hanaya
Fasih layed on the single bed of hospital, Hanaya was just few steps away from him, while the green curtains was between them
He could still see her face, her mouth and nose attached by ventilator, her hand was attached with plasmapheresis tube which another end was attached to his hand
Taking a sigh he avert his eyes away from her and looked at the white ceiling and a brown fan attached to it,
Praying for Hanaya and her baby's health in his heart
A nurse came to him, telling him it's done now while removing the needle from his hand, cleaning the needle spot she told him to wait outside
Looking at Hanaya's lifeless body last time he left the ward with heavy heart
He found Zaim on bench, with his head in his hands he didn't seem to notice Fasih. Even when he sat beside him
He didn't called Zaim, not when he himself don't know what to say
<><><>
"Bhai, at least have some water." Fasih told Zaim again when he refused to eat anything
"I'm fine, tum jao niche cafeteria se kuch kha lo."
(You go and eat something from cafeteria.)
"She will be fine." Fasih put his hand on Zaim's shoulder and said
"What will I tell her when.... When she'll ask about our kid...." His voice hoarsely
"She will understand. But you need to be strong for her. When she'll regain her conscious she will need you most. And for that you need strength."
"She will be fine, right?" Zaim's eyes went on Fasih, waiting for his answer as if whatever Fasih will say will happen
If Fasih saiy anything will be alright then it will be
"I cannot imagine my life without her."
