"O you who believe!  Seek help through patience and prayer, Indeed Allah is with the patient."

Qur'an 2:153

When a wife oaths to stand by her husband, it doesn’t only mean to only share his happiness but his pain too. And if to bring justice to her husband she had to go against the world she would do it, she would go any bound to bring happiness to that person whom she loves immensely.

Rida nervously looked around the café waiting for him while biting her nails. She was early than the time decided but she couldn’t keep herself calm at home and that was the reason she had arrived before time. The waiter had come twice for any order but she denied it because until and unless the work wasn’t done she couldn’t eat nor drink peacefully.

Just as she was about to take her phone out to call him, she noticed him walking into the café searching for her. She slowly raised her hand, waving at him seeking for his attention. He smiled at her nodding his head before making his way to her.

“Assalamualaikum.” Kaif greeted her while she replied to his greeting looking around to find people engrossed in their own sweet chats.

“How are you and everyone back at home?” Rida inquired about everyone while he replied to her question asking about Rehan.

Kaif had just landed early in the morning after spending time with his family because he knew he wouldn’t be getting much time since Rehan had informed him about the new project he was about to assign him which would take his majority of time. He was surprised when Rida had called him two days back asking about his whereabouts while asking him to come back to India urgently as she had some work which he wasn’t allowed to disclose to Rehan.

“Kaif I actually need your help.” Rida put forward her request and Kaif nodded his head waiting patiently to let her speak but before she could say anything the same waiter once again plopped up in front of them making Rida to groan inwardly but she couldn’t show it since all he was doing was his job.

“Two cups of coffee.” Kaif order despite Rida denying it but he shooed her making Rida to give in.

“Okay, now tell me what it is.” Kaif said after the waiter had brought their order since Rida did not want to get disturbed in between.

“I want you to find about Rehan’s mother’s aunt.” Rida said slowly trying to make him understand while he furrowed his eyebrow repeating what she said in his mind as though trying to find the relation.

“As in his Khala?” Kaif questioned and Rida nodded her head while he raised his eyebrows.

“Okay what is her name?” He questioned and Rida shook her head telling him that she had no clue about her or any one of his family member.

“But then how do you know that he has an aunt?” Kaif question her while she hesitated. She did not wanted to tell him anything about that dreadful event but she knew if she tells him that she came to know about it from his father he would question her many things that she would not be able to answer.

“I will tell you about it some other day but can you do this for me?” Rida asked hopefully while Kaif shook his head in negative.

“Rida there is no sense in it. We know nothing about the lady or Rehan’s family. I would have been able to find it out if I knew her name or something but this is just next to impossible.” Kaif pointed out and she sighed because she had thought about it. She knew it was impossible but she had a slight hope that Kaif would be able to do it.

“Kaif please it’s very important for me to find out.” Rida requested while Kaif took out his phone, typing something on his phone waiting patiently his gaze focused on it.

“Do you by any chance know anyone who can be in her contact?” Kaif questioned after looking at his phone and Rida bit her lip debating whether she should tell his name or no.

“Yes I know one man but I am not sure if he is in contact with her or no.” Rida said and he nodded his head asking her to send his details if she knew anything.

“Who is he?” Kaif questioned after reading his name while Rida told him that he was someone known to Rehan not disclosing his identity.

“Okay I have sent the details but I am not sure if we will be able to find out anything.” Kaif said taking as sip of coffee while Rida nodded her head in understanding but suddenly her eyes widen when she realised something.

“Oh I completely forgot; she was a nurse. I don’t know if she is still working or no.” Rida said remembering the man’s word and Kaif nodded before typing it on his phone.

“Which hospital?” Kaif asked and Rida smiled sadly shaking her head while Kaif understood her answer.

“Don’t worry I have sent everything and if you remember anything else or find out anything that can be of help about her please do inform me it will be easy to find her.” Kaif said and she nodded her head understanding what he was trying to imply on.

“Jazak Allah Kaif, this means so much to me and please let this remain between us. Do not tell Rehan anything about it.” Rida requested her eyes hopeful and Kaif nodded his head, his mind full of questions.

“Don’t worry Rida I won’t tell Rehan anything. But let me tell you after finding the lady I need answers to hundreds of questions that are running here.” Kaif said pointing to his head and she smiled in relief nodding her head.

“Insha Allah.” She said and glanced at the time before drinking her now cold coffee in one breath.

“I need to leave; I have to be at Safa’s place since we have a get together there. Hope to see you there.” She said getting up from her seat while Kaif too stood up needing to meet Rehan for the new project.

Rida walked out thanking Kaif for his help and for paying the coffee bill which she reluctantly agreed too. The two made their way in the opposite direction but their minds were still on the meet. Rida wanted to know about it eagerly but she did not wanted to pressurize Kaif because she could understand how difficult it would be for him to find out people with very less information while on the other hand Kaif glanced at the details of the lady. He still wasn’t able to understand how he was supposed to find out about someone when there was no clear information, maybe if he would have had her name it would have been easy but looking at the details it made him realise how impossible of a work it was but he wouldn’t just give up. It was about Rehan’s family and he would try his best to help Rida dig his family.

Rida reached Safa’s place, her mood lifting up looking at the little princess in her hand. She greeted Farheen who was busy laughing with Faiza, about whom Rida had no clue as to what she was doing here.

“Don’t you both have any classes today?” Rida asked her smiling at little Sani in her hand, before looking at the girls now sitting on the couch on either side of her.

“We just had one class which we tend to share with Faiz too so we bunked and asked him for the notes.” Farheen explained giving a toothy smile and Rida raised her eyebrow at the girls making them giggle.

“Poor boy always suffers because of you girls.” Rida sympathized Faiz in his absence but before the girls could argue on it they heard a very dramatic fall making the girls to jump in fear. Turning around they found Faiz on the end of the couch trying to mask his pain from the fall while pretending to wipe his fake tears.

“At least someone acknowledged my efforts. Thank you appi.” Faiz said opening his arms wide open as a mean of hugging her making her smile at him while Faiza laughed loudly earning a glare from him.

“Why are you laughing floor lover?” Faiz asked annoyed opening his bag while looking for something, “You did your best to try hiding your fall but failed, loser.” Faiza said sticking her tongue out at him while he completely ignored her, handing a book to Farheen while whispering something in her ear, smirking at Faiza making her narrow her eyes at him.

“Faiza, Faiz just told me not to share this with you.” Farheen said apologetically showing the book while Faiza looked in between them her eyes wide open. “Noooooo.” She yelled running to Farheen while she giggle showing the book back to Faiz who took advantage of his height and did not let Faiza have the book for almost ten minutes while Rida watched them amusingly.

“Okay fine, this is the last time I am helping you.” Faiz said with a grin handing the book to her while Faiza smirked at him running back to Farheen sitting down next to her.

“And here your friend, what was her name? She gave me your book to give it back to you.” Faiz said and gave her the book while Faiza looked at the book in confusion.

“Oh it will be Marwa.” Faiza said and the three now fell in a deep conversation regarding their exams while Rida’s minded pounded over the name Marwa. She felt the name being very familiar to her but she couldn’t recall from where she had heard it. Just as she was thinking about it, Sani started moving in her arms gaining her response. She could see Sani was on the verge of crying so getting up she walked into the kitchen to find Safa’s mother busy chopping onions giving her salaam to her while Safa was washing the utensils.

“Safa here, I think Sani is hungry.” Rida said before handing Sani to Safa who took her loving before wiping her hands on the towel while Rida assured her about the utensils. 

Just as Rida was about to turn to the tap to wash the utensils, it came running to her that Marwa was no one but Rehan’s aunts’ name. She even recalled his father mentioning about his mother’s name. Without waiting, she rushed into the living area to find her gadget missing. she knew who the culprit would be so without thinking she started yelling for her sister to only hear her laughter from upstairs. She hurried up, snatching the phone from her sister while apologizing to Farheen to find her startled before running downstairs.

Out of breath she heaved deeply, putting an end to the makeup tutorial that was going on in her phone before tapping on Kaif’s number that was her last contacted number. She waited patiently for him to pick up her call but when he wasn’t she was getting impatiently.

Kaif could see his phone vibrating but he couldn’t pick up the call. He glanced at Rehan who was busy explaining to him about the upcoming project while his mind had now lost its concentration. He could see how impatient Rida was getting for he was continuously getting her calls.

“Kaif please concentrate and if the call is urgent than please finish with it.” Rehan said feeling Kaif’s phone vibrating from a long time. As soon as the words left Rehan’s mouth, Kaif dashed out of the room taking Rehan by surprise.

“Tell me.” Kaif directly came to the point without any greeting but Rida greeted him to which he responded waiting to hear what she had to say.

“I recalled her name, it's Marwa.” She said while Kaif smiled satisfied knowing it was actually something of help.

“Okay I think we might be able to do it now.” Kaif said while Rida smiled in contentment. She was glad that at least they now had a hope of finding her. Finding about the truth.

“I got to go before your husband yell at me.” He said looking at Rehan from the window from where he was observing Kaif keenly as if trying to know what the matter was.

“Kaif?” Rida stopped him before he could end the name. She wanted to make it simpler for him so without wasting any time she told him about his mother’s name too.

“His mother’s name is Minaz, just in case to make it easy for you.” Rida said and with that she ended the call saying her salaam while Kaif stood rooted to his place the phone still on his ears.

He couldn’t believe what he had just heard. The name, the name was familiar to him. The name that was the reason for his parents to be in India. He glanced at Rehan taking slow steps towards him.

“What happened? Everything alright?” Rehan asked when he found a numb Kaif walking into his cabin. Kaif couldn’t tear his eyes off him. He was trying his best to let his thoughts be wrong but with every second he was proven wrong. He couldn’t believe his eyes what his parents wanted was right in front of them. Right in front of him.

“I need to leave.” Kaif said hastily picking up his coat from the side chair while Rehan looked at him confused. “Everything alright?” Rehan asked standing from his place while Kaif was already on the door. Turning around he smiled at Kaif, a sad smile.

“Insha Allah everything will be alright from today.” With that he ran out of the room leaving a confused Rehan behind.
Reaching the parking area, he dialled the one number that knew would want to know about it.

“Assalamualaikum mum, I found him I found him mum. He is Rehan.” He exclaimed without waiting for his mother to say anything. He was full of happiness. He couldn’t keep himself calm and he could also hear his mother’s happy filled voice.

“Come to India mum I will tell you everything but right now I need to go I have some things that need my attention.” With that he ended the call his smile wide. He couldn’t just believe what they were looking for years, was Rehan.

Without wasting any minute he called the person whom he had hired to find about Rehan’s aunt, who was also the one helping his family from the past few years. He filled in all the information he had received from Rida knowing that he would now be easily able to track down everything. What seemed impossible a few hours ago would now be an accomplished task.

“I would make everything right Rehan, everything.” He promised looking at Rehan’s car that was parked when he heard his phone vibrate making him smile. Buckling up himself in his car, he made his way to his destination that would now make everything perfect.
