Chapter 16
Maham's POV.
I open my eyes and saw myself on prater nat. I got up immediately and run out of the room.
Ashar!!!
The only name running in my mind and beating in my heart.
"Maham." I stopped on the voice and turn to sees my dad and mom on dinning table.
"Where are you going sunshine?? Come here." Dad called me and I walked toward him.
"Dad Ashar... He...I mean is he okay now??" I asked and tried hard to stop my tears.
"Sunshine I never knew that you are so attached to your friends. I called zayan and he told me that he's okay now. Don't worry." My dad said and I just nodded.
I wanted to run to him. I wanted to see him but how?? My parents were looking at me and I know they were having a lot of question in their eyes but I don't care about them now. I don't care about any question but Ashar.
"Dad can I go to see him?" I asked and he nodded.
"But breakfast..." Mom yelled from back but I didn't stop.
I just run out with my car keys. My eyes were again flowing that salty water on my cheeks. I was driving toward hospital while all the memories all the moments I spend with Ashar were playing in front of me. I reached in hospital and run to his room but it was so big hospital and I took a lot of turns to reach Ashar's room. Finally I reached his room. I stopped outside his room and I could see everyone in his room. i took deep breaths and look at myself. I slowly put my dupatta from my shoulders and place it on my head. I start taking steps toward room with shaking legs. I was hoping that he'll be fine. I don't know what I was going to see but my heart was praying for his life. As I entered the room I saw Shahyan turned and then uncle Abrar and aunty,and then saw shahyan's parents and zayan's parents. I was taking steps ahead but he was still hidden with someone. It was Zayan. He turned to me and smiled. He moved aside and my eyes landed on him. His eyes met mine and I forgot to blink. A silent tear slipped on my cheek. His oxygen mask was removed temporary. His eyes were shining like mine. I was freeze on my spot.
"What are you all doing here?? Just go out. Let patient rest." Suddenly a nurse came and said but I didn't move nor I avert my eyes from him.
"We all are going but she just came to see him. So let her stay here for few minutes." I heard Zayan saying and soon all left leaving me with my Ashar.
My Ashar!!!
Yes My Ashar.
.countless tears flow on my cheeks while I was just standing there on my spot and was looking at him without blinking. Nurse gave him injection and checked his reports and left.
"Are you going to keep gazing me all day??" I heard him and a smile touched my lips as I heard his voice.
"Why?? You'll apply TeX on watching you." I said as I took a step closer to him..
I sat on bed close to him. His eyes were fixed on me not leaving mine even for once.
"Not a bad idea. People usually keep gazing me without my knowledge so it would be better to apply TeX on every eye." He said and I laughed with tears.
"Of course. No one is allowed to look at you." I said looking at him in his eyes.
"No one??" He asked and I just keep looking at him.
"No one." I answered.
"Not even you??" He asked again and his left hand tried to come up but that needles which were inserted in his hand stopped him.
"Can you please bring your face down??" He said and I didn't understand.
"Come closer Maham." He said and two tears roll on my cheeks.
How badly I wanted him to call me. Take my name. Call me Maham.
I nodded and leaned down closer to him. I felt his breath on my chin. His left hand slowly reached my face and his thumb touched my face. He wipe my tear.
"I didn't want these tears in your eyes." I heard him and I slowly moved back.
We both were silent and just keep looking at each other. Many tears slipped on my cheeks and I could see the wetness of his eyes.
"You know you are very bad!." I said and cried.
"Then why are you crying???" He asked as his left hand which was near to my hand hold my hand.
"Because of you. You scared me!! I was so scared. What if you didn't open your eyes in 48 hours then..." I stopped and start crying with hiccups.
"Why didn't I,when someone called me her husband!!" He said and I look at him shocked.
We just keep looking at each other while my heart was beating as hell. I was melting under his gaze.
"What are you wearing??" He asked and I look at myself and then him.
"You...you didn't like it??" I asked and he smiled.
"I'll tell you when I'll... I'll be fine." He said while taking his arm to his stomach.
"Are you okay now??" I asked and he nodded.
His eyes were getting heavy. This was because of the injection. But he was not leaving my eyes. He was just looking into my eyes.
"Ashar sleep for sometime. I'll be here." I said and wipe that tiny tear which escaped from his eye.
He smiled and closed his eyes. I just keep looking at him and soon he was in deep slumber. But my eyes were fixed on him.
"Mrs. Ashar." I turn on the voice and saw the doctor standing.
"Can I check him??" He asked and I nodded.
Doctor checked his reports and then his pulse. He put that oxygen mask again on his mouth.
"Doctor why this again??" I asked looking at him.
"Its just that he's too weak to breath. Maybe. But it just helps him in breathing while sleeping. He's fine now Mrs. Ashar. Don't worry." Doctor said and left and I was just beaming with happiness when he called me Mrs Ashar.
Mrs. Ashar.
"I'm Maham Ashar." I whispered to myself and smiled.
I look at him once and slowly walk out of the room. His all family was there with our two best friends Shahyan and Zayan.
"He's sleeping." I said and they all nodded.
"When he woke up??" I asked looking at Zayan.
"Early morning around 6 am." Zayan said and I nodded.
I was so relieved so happy to find him okay. He was okay. I was so happy. I was,so thankful to Allah(SWT) who listened to me. He didn't reject my supplication but save my Ashar.
"I'll just come." I said to everyone and left from there.
I knew he was okay now but for him I have to do something now. And before that I gave to thanks Allah(SWT).
I drove to home and have a bath and wear again that black frock. I did my ablution and offer the prayer of Shukrana(Thanks). I still didn't know how to offer properly but I was trying and I know one day I'll succeed and will become a good muslimah.
After prayer I took my clutch and my credit cards. I took my car keys and step out of the room.
"Mom I'm going on shopping." I said and was about to cross the hall when my mom stopped me.
"Maham come here. I need to talk to you." Mom said and I nodded.
I went closer to her and she made me sit in front of her.
"Maham are hiding something from me?? I mean you and Ashar. How you cried for him yesterday I think you are hiding something from me." Mom said and my eyes widened.
What should I say now??
Should I tell her that he's my husband??
But what if Ashar got angry!!!
I think for few seconds and then look up at my mom
"Mom there is nothing like that. He's...he's...you know one of my friends. And we usually fight so people think that we are enemies but its not like that.I have seen him in that condition so I...I..become worried. That's all." I said and try to hide the wetness of my eyes as I remember his accident.
"You sure!!" Mom asked again and I nodded.
"Okay go now!" Mom said and I walked out.
My heart was fluttering with his thought. I felt myself heated up. I smiled and drove to the shopping mall.
I start shopping and buy a lot of dress for myself. I shopped for myself the dress he like. Frocks,salwar kameez,long shirts with chori pajamas and so on. All the dresses were long and were having full sleeves.
After completing my shopping,I buy something for my Ashar and went to home. It was noon when I reached home. I ate my lunch and called Zayan as I reached my room.
"How's he?? Is he okay?? What are doctors saying??" I asked as Zayan received my call.
"Wow hold on lady. You didn't ask about me and directly asking about your Ashar." Zayan said and I blushed on the word your Ashar.
"Is he okay??is he still sleeping??" I asked again and I heard him sighing.
"He's fine. I was with him. He was talking to me. Nurse gave him medicine and now he's sleeping. I'm going home for few time." Zayan said and I just keep listening him.
"Okay. I'll see you in the evening." I said and cut the call.
I was so happy that he was recovering. I went to my room and took shower and changed into one of kameez shalwar I bought today. I did my ablution and made my way to Eiyaa Maa's room.
"Eiya Maa." I called her as I reached in her room.
"Come beta. Where were you??? And how's your friend now??" She asked and I smiled.
"He's okay now. I'm so thankful to Allah(SWT)." I said with truly heart.
"Good. We must thank our Creator who help us when we need Him the most." Eiya Maa said and I nodded
"Did you offer prayer Eiyaa Maa.??" I asked.
"No but I'm about to. You want to offer??" She asked and I nodded.
"Will you help me so I can learn easily and rapidly." I said and she nodded.
"Why not!! Come now." Eiyaa Maa said and we both start offering our prayer.
I was following her and she was also teaching me and I was learning. As we completed our Salah she memorized me some surahs and Tasbiyaat to recite. I was feeling so good and peaceful. Whenever I bow my head in front of Allah (SWT) in prayer I felt a peace run inside my heart and this was all I was looking for so many years.
I raised my hand for Dua and my eyes closed down.
Dear Allah(SWT) thank you for everything. Thank you for choosing me to turn on the right path. Thanks for realizing me what I was missing. Thanks for helping me when I need you the most. And thank you for saving him. I have no words to thank you because your blessings are endless and I'm just an ordinary human who just don't know how to thank you. Thank you so much for saving him for giving me Ashar. Please always protect and shower your all blessings on him. Ameen.
I completed my Dua and got up with wet eyes.
"Don't worry he'll be fine because now you are on right path." Eiyaa Maa said and I put my head in her lap.
She start running her fingers in my hair and my eyes closed down. I was feeling so good. All the tension,worries were gone.
Anabia's POV.
It was 3 of noon when zayan bhai and Shahyan entered house. Both were looking so tired. I went in kitchen and bring water for them. They were seated on sofa and their eyes were closed.
"Water." I said and their eyes opened.
I saw Shahyan looking at me once and then he avert his eyes and took the glass of water. I waited for him to look at me or say something but he was all quite.
"Boys come on. Lunch is served." I heard aunty and both got up.
After washing hands they seated on chairs and aunty served them lunch. I went in and bring water for them.
"How's Ashar now??" Aunty asked and both look up.
"He's fine now. Doctors are continuously checking his reports. He's recovering." Shahyan answered and I saw a smile on his face.
"Thanks to Allah. I was so worried." Aunty said and they keep eating and talking but I was waiting for him to say something to me.
Shahyan was so busy in his lunch and talking to aunty that he forgot that I'm also standing there. I was waiting for him to call me but he was just avoiding me. My eyes filled with water and I slowly moved from there to my room. I lay down on bed and just keep crying. His silence was killing me. I can't live like this. Suddenly the room door opened and I sat up. I wipe my tears immediately and look up where Shahyan was standing. He made his way to bed and lay down without saying anything. I open my mouth to say something but he closer his eyes and turn to left side.
He was still angry with me. That's the reason of his this cold behavior with me. I can't live like this. I have to do something.
I thought and went out of the room knowing what I have to do now.
Maham's POV.
"How's he??" I asked as I reached in hospital.
But instead of answering me,both Shahyan and Zayan were looking at me with wide eyes. I look at myself and then at them.
"What!! Come to earth now you idiots." I said and they closed their mouths.
"What on earth are you wearing Maham?? Is this you or the other version of yours?" Zayan said while placing his hand on forehead but I instantly took a step back stopping him from touching me.
"Its me.Maham. what happened to you guys??I'm asking about Ashar and you two are lost." I said and place the dupatta again on my head which slipped.
"Is it really you?? Shalwar kameez and even dupatta!! Really Maham!!" Zayan asked and I lower my eyes.
"Stop discussing me now and tell me how's he?? Is he still sleeping??" I asked curiously.
"He's fine and yes he's still sleeping." Zayan said and I nodded.
I walked toward his room and look at him through the glass hole of door. He was deeply in sleep. And thank God that oxygen mask was no more on his mouth scaring me. We all sit on chairs outside his room. It was 7 of the evening when my parents with Shahyan,zayan's and Ashar's entered. They all walked to us.
"How's my son now??? I was asking him again and again to take to hospital but..." Ashar's mom said pointing toward her husband and start crying.
I went closer to her and hugged her. I start caressing her back and calming her down.
"He's okay now. Don't cry. He's fine." I said and look at her .
I wipe her tears and we all sat outside again. Few minutes later a nurse came and went in his room. I got up and keep looking at him. Nurse was checking him and turn my head to other side to hide my tears. Whenever I look at his wounds,his injuries my heart filled with pain.
Nurse came out and look at us.
"He's fine now. We'll shift him tomorrow to a private room." Nurse said and I smiled with happiness.
Thank God he's going to shift from this dangerous ICU to a normal room. That means he's recovering and coming back to life.
"He's wake up now. You can meet him but one by one." Nurse said and left.
Uncle and aunty his parents went in to meet him. After a time when they return Shahyan's and my parents went to see him. When they come back,Me Zayan and Shahyan got up and walked in. I was behind them.
"Ashar look what we have for you!! A new version of Maham!!" Zayan said and moved.
Ashar's eyes landed on me and my eyes met with his. We both forgot to blink.
"So you like this new version of Maham!!" Zayan asked and now i turn to him
"One more time you call me a version then I'm going to break your teeth." I said and they all laughed while I glare at them.
"I'm going." With that i took a step.
"Hey Maham sorry. Stop." Zayan said and I stopped.
"Good." I said sat on sofa at some distance while both Shahyan and zatan sit on the nearby stools.
They start talking to Ashar. My eyes were fixed on him who was smiling and talking.His eyes came in contact with me and my heart start fluttering in my chest. After a while both zayan and Shahyan got up and walk out while I walk to Ashar and sit on bed close to him.
"How's Mr.Ashar feeling now??" I asked while my right hand touched his forehead and its bandage.
"Feeling okay. But what happened to Miss Maham??" He asked looking at my dressing.
"Nothing. I'm the same fit and fine. Ready to fight with you." I said looking in his eyes and he smiled.
"So you will fight with me again!!" He asked and I nodded
"Of course its my right don't you know!! " I said making him chuckle.
"Stop making me laugh. It hurts." He said while placing his left hand on his ribs.
"Sorry. You sure you are okay now?" I asked with concern and he nodded.
"How I'm looking?" I asked and his eyes never leave me while his left hand touched mine.
"Beautiful." He said and I felt my cheeks heated up and my eyes lower down as his intense gaze was fixed on me.
What is happening was totally out of control!! The feelings,the blush,the tingling I was feeling all were new to me and Ashar's just a simple gaze was making me feel all this.
"You...you...ta....take....rest now." I stutter and was amazed on myself.
"Why are you blushing??" He asked and I shook my head.
"I'm....I'm...not blushing. I'm going bye." I said and got up immediately to hide myself from His heated eyes which were fixed on me.
As I took a step a warm hand hold my wrist. I gasp as I knew who's hand it is.
"Don't go. Just stay with me." I heard him and I turned to see him
He was looking at me and so was I. For few seconds we just keep looking at each other.
"Don't go." He said and I sat again on bed...
"You know what now you are going to tolerate me whole night." I said and huge smile made its way on his face.
"I won't mind tolerating you for whole life." He said and I look at him shocked.
Is he hinting me about our relation???
Is he trying to say that he wants to live with me???
"I'll....I'll just come " I said and walk out of the room with beating heart.
"Uncle I'm telling you I'm here then why are you tensed??" I heard zayan as I reached near them.
"I know son but you also need some rest. I can stay here." Uncle said and I shook my head as no.
.no no no uncle can't be here .
If he stays here then how will I stay here!!
I look at zayan who look at me and then to Shahyan.
"Uncle you can go we all are here. Me Shahyan and Maham. He's our best friend so how can we leave him. You just don't worry." Zayan said and uncle Abrar nodded.
Thank God!!!
Soon our parents left leaving us all alone with each other. Both turn to Me and I look at them.
"What???" I asked and they sighed.
"For you see what we are doing??" Zayan whispered as he passed from me.
I startled on his words.
"We are going to bring some dinner.you go and sit with him." Zaya said and gave me a mischievous smile.
I walked in his room where he was laying with closed eyes.
"Maha." He said and I freeze on the spot.
He open his eyes and look at me. He said Maha!!!
"Sorry its me not your Maha." I said and didn't let my tears to come out.
I sit with him on bed looking at his chest. But I was feeling his eyes on me.
"Are you jealous??" He suddenly asked and I look up.
"Why would I?? Oh because of your Maha. She even didn't came to see you!!" I said looking in his eyes.
"She came." He said and my eyes,widened.
She came!!
"What?? When??" I asked and he tried to get up by I put my hand on his shoulder to stop him.
"Keep laying. Don't try to get up." I said and he smiled.
"So when did she came??" I asked again.
"When I was in sleep." He said and I smiled.
"Yeah you were in sleep and she came! Then how'd to know that she was here??" I asked looking at him.
"I know. Because I can feel her. She said something in my ear." He said and I turn my head to hide the wetness of my eyes.
"Look at me!" He said while his left hand reached my face turning to him.
"You're crying??" He asked and I shook my head as no but two tears roll on my cheeks.
"Yeah right!! Then what are these??" He asked as he took a tear on his finger.
"Ashar I'll just come." With that I got up and turn but he hold my and stopped me.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere." He said and pulled me back on bed.
I didn't look at him. My eye were lower. I was still feeling his hand on mine. He slowly pulled my hand toward him making me lean closer to his face. His left hand reached my face and his thumb start caressing my cheek but I didn't look up.
"Don't cry. I don't like to see tears in your eyes." He whispered.
"Ashar." I hardly spill his name because the closeness was making me shut up and my heart was beating as hell in my ribcage.
He slowly leaned to my ear and I could feel his breath on my ear.
"I didn't know that I can make you feel shy." He whispered in my ear and lean back to see me.
I moved back immediately and start playing with my fingers as he was having a smirk on his face gazing me full time.
"Hey guys." Zayan and Shahyan entered and I got up from bed immediately.
"Let's have dinner." Zayan called me and I smiled.
"You guys are going to eat this spicy food in front of me. How bad you are!" Ashar made a face and we all smiled.
"Hey don't worry dude. Once you get fine,I'll take you to the food Street." Zayan said and he smiled.
We all had our dinner and all the time I was feeling his gaze on me. It was hard for me to eat so I just left my food and sat aside.
"Okay Ashar we are going. We'll see you tomorrow morning." Shahyan said and both left from there while zayan was having that mischievous grin on his face teasing me.
They left leaving us alone. I turn to him who was looking at me.
"Mrs. Ashar." I turn on the voice and saw doctor with Nurse standing.
"We can check him." Doctor asked and I nodded.
Doctor went to check him and start checking his reports.
"Is it hurting??" Doctor asked touching his ribs and right arm.
"A bit." He said and doctor nodded.
"Here take these pills and I'll see you in morning." Doctor said and left.
"Good night Mrs. Ashar." Nurse said and they left leaving me with him.
"So Mrs Ashar..!" I turn on the voice to see Ashar looking at me.
Anabia's POV.
He was home. I saw him with Zayan bhai. Both came late from hospital and thank God Zayan bhai didn't let Shahyan go to his house as I told him to bring him home at night.
"Boys get up now and have some rest." Aunty said and both went to their rooms.
But Shahyan didn't look at me. I felt my eyes getting wet.
"Go to him and just don't hesitate around him." Aunty said and I nodded.
I slowly walked to my room and with shaking hands I open the door. He was not in the room. I close the door behind me and saw him coming out of washroom.
"Shahyan." I called him who was about to go to bed.
He stopped and turned to me. He was looking at me and so was I.
"Are you still angry??" I asked.
"Do I have any right to be angry with you??" He asked and I was just looking at him.
"I waited. I waited for you to say something. But you were in your own world who didn't care for me. At noon I was waiting for you to call me or to take a step toward me but no you don't care about me about the relation we have." He said and before he could take a step I run to him and hugged him tightly.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please don't be angry with me. Don't avoid me.I....I can't live like this. Your silence is killing me.I can't live without you Shahyan. I can't live without your love." I was saying and crying.
I hugged him more tightly and buried my face in his chest as his arms wrapped around my waist pulling me more closer.
"I'm so sorry. Don't stay far from me Shahyan. It hurts." I cried again while hugging him tightly.
"I also can't stay far from you. Anabia please never do this again. Never fight with me ever." He said and I shook my head.
"I won't I promise. You won't angry with me again okay!!" I said and he nodded.
"I won't my life." He said and pulled back to see me.
He wipe my tears and cupped my face. He placed his lips on my forehead and then at my eyes. He rested his forehead on mine and we just keep looking at each other.
"Don't look at me like this Mrs Shahyan or else you know what I can do." He said and my eyes lower down with shyness.
I hugged him again and he laughed while wrapping his arms around me.
