Next morning when Fawaz left his room Zeeshan gasped on noticing his baggy eyes and dark circles.

'Dude, what happened?' he whispered as they sat at the dining table, Fawaz ignored him grabbing a bread and placed it on his plate. Zeeshan is more concerned now. Fawaz ignored everyone and kept munching his food silently. He then retired to his room; there he called his lawyer again asking on the progress

'What do you mean it's not done yet, how much time you take to get a divorce paper done?' he yelled on the phone and without waiting for the reply cuts the call and flipped his phone on the bed. His lawyer, Mr. Gupta, has said it will take at least whole today to make the papers and one day more to reach him. Fawaz is furious, he sat on the edge of his bed holding his head in his palms.

Later that afternoon Zeeshan took Fawaz out, he didn't want to come but Zeeshan insisted much. Zeeshan wanted to surprise Maham by buying some baby clothes. But more importantly, he wanted to find out what was disturbing his friend and help find a solution for him.

Fawaz felt strange and sad as he followed Zeeshan in the baby's section. It depressed him to think he missed the opportunity of shopping for his twins. He imagined in his head how it would have been like shopping for baby clothes, not knowing whether to buy pink or blue. He imagined surprising Maha with the clothes and the smile on her face would have been priceless.

'How is this?' Zeeshan's voice snapped Fawaz from his dream, as soon as his reverie is broken he is hit by the harsh reality, he is going to lose his Maha and his kids soon.

'Good' he said sadly. He wasn't even looking at the clothes.

After one hour of shopping, Zeeshan stopped at a small restaurant for lunch. On much insistence Fawaz revealed everything. Zeeshan also had a grim expression on his face.

'Are you seriously going to divorce her?' Zeeshan asked looking concerned.

Fawaz nodded sadly his gaze fixed at his entwined fingers, his head held low. Zeeshan placed his hand over his

'But you love her and she loves you too, you guys need to be together' Zeeshan said seriously. Fawaz sighed.

'I love her, dude. But after everything that happened, I doubt if she still loves me. Anyway, I am toxic for her, yaar.' He felt frustrated as he said this. He then looked away for a second before looking back at his friend, 'and I can't see her miserable.' He concluded tapping his index finger on the table.

Zeeshan looked on, 'But...when two people love each other, they need to be with each other to heal themselves' he said after a while of intently looking at Fawaz

'I wish all these filmy talks would work for me.... Dude, my life is so messed up and I messed it up myself and I deserve to pay for this. And my punishment will be living without my love, Maha and my kids' Fawaz said.

Zeeshan shook his head sideways, 'And Maha, even she will have to stay away from her love, won't she?' he said seriously.

Fawaz smiled sadly, 'when I went to meet her yesterday, I saw her smile...she seemed so happy and content away from me and my memories; slowly with time she will move on...' Fawaz accepted sadly.

Zeeshan looked at him in disbelief, 'Dude, you are mad. Instead of all this, you should try to win her back and prove you have changed. If she wills she will come back to you, else say sorry and walk away. But without trying? Dude, don't' Zeeshan warned him seriously.

Something about what Zeeshan said did make sense, without trying if he goes back maybe in future he might regret. But then he recollected what Zubair had said, if her past comes back she might not be able to take it positively and her condition would worsen. Fawaz and Zeeshan silently ate their food and went back home.
