Sometimes we only need someone to be there, not to fix anything or do anything but just to make us feel that we are cared and supported.

Aisha:
One week since our engagement how time flies?I sat on my bed and thought about our conversation on our engagement day and I need to talk to him after he came back from maghrib prayer he din't even got chance to talk to me the guys were busy on their own and us on our side.

Now tomorrow there will be another gathering they wanted to decide the wedding date as elders said sometimes it's not good to prolong the ge the engagement for  years and years and am surprised Imran agreed.

"Aisha!Aisha!"I heard my mum calling me from downstairs oww how much  less time I have with her in this house now.

"Coming mum,"I replied while jumping out of bed and running down stairs and soon my ankle twisted.

"Ouchhhhh...that hurts I bended down slowly touching my ankle and sat for while mum came me and after sometime supported me,"how many times have I told you don't run on stairs but walk now see wedding is near and you have a twisted ankle be careful dear.

"Sorry mum,"I apologised I know she's always worried about me.

Dad was at work am glad otherwise another good lecture from him.

We sat on sofa with fresh glasses of orange juice and I decided to talk to mum about Imran.

"Mum I want to talk to you about something,"I started and she smiled telling me how she waited for me to approach her.

So she had sensed something was up.

"How do you always know what's bothering me or something is wrong?"I asked her since she's most of times aware wa I so obvious that day?

"Am your mum and who will understand you better than your mum,"She said and I just hugged her to which she told me to continue.

"Mum I talked to Imran on our engagement day and thay guy din't visit his doctor mum his results were supposed to be given to him but he din't go I know he went through alot but now we are there to support him and he still avoids topic,"I want to help him mum I told her and it's about his life.

Mum just looked at me and I asked her what?

"My daughter has become so mature and wise am so grateful I know you will support him let me tell you one thing which Imran told me he went for two years away remember?dear he had suffered alone the therapy, the surgery him knowing the results it was painful moment for him so he needs sometime to overcome may be he's afraid history will repeat,"Mum explained me and I was surprised when did Imran talk to mum all these I know he takes my mum as his own but still he never shares anything with me am glad he trusts mum.

"Thank you so much mum for sharing it with me,"I sincerely thanked her I wanted to know what was bothering him.

I will tell you another secret but make sure he doesn't know I overheard him and Ahad talking on your engagement day it was about his aunt and uncle those who stay in America they were the one's after your accident it was their family problems and on the engagement day they ditched Imran he wanted them to apologise and and sort out issues they agreed but when Imran went to meet them at Rose Cafe they din't show up.

"What?"that's why I din't see any of their relatives on our engagement day?

"Yes dear,"life is not easy when you need people most they backstab you juat be careful.

I wonder what he was going through.

"Does Yumna know?"I asked mum not sure if she knows the answer.

"Yeah Ahad told her everything,"Alhamdulillah she understood and they decided to leave his uncle and aunt but they will have full security his uncle might do anything since that day Imran hasn't
heard from them.

"I just pray all goes well but mum it's been week and I want to know if Imran went again for check up,"I told mum while taking a sip of juice and giving mum her glass.

"Go to his office dear and talk to him and take care of your ankle hope it doesn't hurt,"she suggested and I nodded agreeing I kissed her on her cheeks and left for Imran's office.

"No it's fine it's not hurting much," I tried to assure her but she din't believe me am glad when she saw me walking she agreed finally.

I hope he doesn't get mad.

Finally I knocked and waited for his reply I was about to give up and heard his  tired hoarse sexy voice Astagfirullah.

"Come In,"I opened the door slowly at first I peeked in and checked he was busy then I opened.

I stood there he was still busy and I checked his office how neat was it just wow...

"What are you doing here?"he asked removing me from my thoughts he closed his laptop and I just looked down.

"Can I come in atleast?"I asked him but he just stared as if not believing that I was really here.

"Sure,"he said in just one simple word.

"So what brings you here?" he asked me and I looked at him but then looked at my ring which shined and I caught him looking at his ring.

"We should talk before we take another step it's a matter of our life, "I told him this because I wanted to know slowly I will ask him...we will take this step by step.

"Did you go to the doctor?"I asked him straight away and he looked at me as if warning me to shut up it's good he din't has a meeting and his staff was busy so no interruptions.

"Instead of knowing each other you came to ask this?" he asked sighing and relaxing on his chair.

"Yeah now tell me, "I know I was pushing it but I need to know and support him.

"We are stuck to remember?so we need to support one another," I reminded him and if am not wrong for a second I saw the smile on his lips just as it came it vanished.

"Yeah I went to doctor and here is the file," he said finally opening up to me at least.

"What did he say?"I asked worried all of sudden since also he will have to make a decision.

"I have brain tumour which can be cured but I still have to go to a specialist neurosurgeon," he said and I listened carefully.

"He said once I visit this specialist he will tell me all procedures  I might be given palliative care this reduces the symptoms he even said it's good I went for a check up and don't delay," he said all that he was told and I was happy at the same time sad I just don't know why.

"Thank you for being there with me and supporting me," he said and I told him this time I will be with him.

"Let's forget all these since my next appointment will be on Saturday they all want to discuss our wedding date on Friday night," he said and I stared at him how brave he was while here he told me about his situation and there about our wedding.

"We can wait for now we can even discuss after your appointment, "I told him and waited for his reply.

"No! I will go to the neurosurgeon on Friday afternoon and I will inform the rest of our family members about the discussion we need a gathering," he said and I was happy that finally, he is the one suggesting for gathering the one who used to avoid me.

"Fine then always be a stubborn one, "I told him and he just looked at me not even smiling.

"You know there's something I need to tell you," he said and now I wondered after all these what other thing was left am glad he's sharing with me.
