subhaan and Ibadat's home resonated with laughter and joy, a warm haven filled with love and contentment. Their adorable 3-year-old daughter, Mehar Subhaan Siddique, played in the garden, surrounded by loving family. Her tiny hands grasped a bouquet of flowers, and her giggles echoed through the air as she chased after butterflies. 

The sun cast a golden glow over the scene, illuminating the happiness that filled every corner of their lives. Subhaan sat on a nearby bench, watching Mehar discover the world around her. His eyes shone with pride and adoration as he gazed at his little miracle. Ibadat joined him, snuggling close, and Subhaan wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight. "Look at her, Ibadat. Our little bundle of joy," he whispered, his voice filled with emotion. 

Ibadat's eyes sparkled with tears as she smiled, her heart overflowing with love. Mehar tottered towards them, flowers still clutched in her tiny fists. "ammi! abbu!" she exclaimed, throwing herself into their arms. 

Subhaan and Ibadat laughed, showering her with kisses and hugs. Kainaat, sitting nearby, smiled, her eyes shining with happiness. "Mehar's growing up so fast. Haider would've loved her," she said, her voice tinged with nostalgia. Dua , sitting beside Kainaat, nodded in agreement.

 "Haider's legacy lives on through Mehar." As the family laughed and played together, Subhaan's heart swelled with gratitude. He glanced at Ibadat, his eyes locking onto hers. "We've found our happily ever after," he whispered, his voice barely audible. 

Ibadat's smile illuminated her face, and she leaned in, her lips brushing against his. Mehar squealed with delight, wrapping her arms around their necks, holding them close. The world around them melted away, leaving only the three of them, lost in their own little bubble of joy.

 Mannat, chased after Mehar's runaway ball. "Mehar, khala's got it!" she laughed, scooping up the ball and tossing it back to Mehar. The little girl giggled, catching the ball and throwing it back to Mannat. The sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow over the garden. Subhaan and Ibadat exchanged a glance, their hearts full. 

Subhaan's curiosity got the better of him as he gazed at Ibadat, his eyes seeking answers. "Why did you keep her name Mehar, Ibadat? You never told," he asked, his voice laced with intrigue. Ibadat's smile illuminated her face, and she leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper.

 "Because she is a blessing, Allah's blessing for me," Ibadat replied, her eyes shining with emotion. "After everything we've been through, Mehar represents hope and joy. She's the embodiment of our love, a reminder that Allah's plans are always greater than ours."

 Subhaan's eyes softened, understanding washing over him. Ibadat's gaze locked onto Subhaan's, her voice filled with conviction. "I wanted her name to reflect the love and light she brings to our lives. Mehar means kindness, compassion, and mercy – qualities that our daughter embodies. She's a constant reminder of Allah's mercy and grace in our lives." Subhaan's heart swelled with love and gratitude.

Subhaan's eyes locked onto Ibadat's, his gaze filled with gratitude. He took her hand, his voice trembling with emotion. "Ibadat, I don't know where I'd be without you. You gave me a second chance at life, at love, and at happiness. These beautiful moments we share, Mehar's laughter, our family's love... it's all because of you." Ibadat's eyes shone with tears as she smiled, her heart overflowing. "You deserve every ounce of happiness, Subhaan. You've always been a good soul, and I'm grateful to be on this journey with you."

Subhaan's eyes never left hers. "Mehar's birth, our wedding, every moment we share... it's all a reminder that life is precious, and love is the greatest gift. Thank you for giving me these moments, Ibadat. Thank you for being my rock, my partner, my everything." Ibadat's lips brushed against his. "I love you, Subhaan." Subhaan's heart swelled. "I love you too, Ibadat. Forever and always." As they shared a tender kiss, Mehar squealed with delight, wrapping her arms around their necks.

Mannat approached Subhaan and Ibadat, her eyes filled with remorse. "Subhaan, Ibadat, can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Subhaan and Ibadat exchanged a glance, their faces open and receptive. "Mannat, what's on your mind?" Subhaan asked, his tone gentle. Mannat took a deep breath. 

 "I'm so sorry for my past mistakes. I was blind, Subhaan. I didn't see the pain I was causing. My actions nearly destroyed our family." Ibadat's hand reached out, comforting Mannat. "You've apologized before, Mannat. We've forgiven you." Mannat's eyes welled up with tears.

 "I know, but I need to say it again. I realize now that my actions were driven by fear and misunderstandings. I should have trusted Subhaan's judgment." Subhaan's expression softened. "You've grown, Mannat. That's what matters." Mannat's voice cracked.

 "I promise to be there for you both, for Mehar. I'll support your love, your family." Ibadat smiled. "We know you will, Mannat. We're grateful for your love and support." Subhaan wrapped his arms around Mannat and Ibadat. "We're family. We forgive, we heal, and we move forward together." Mannat's tears flowed freely as she hugged them back. "Thank you for understanding. Thank you for forgiving me." 

Subhaan and Ibadat looked at each other.

 "Our life was filled with lies, but in the end, it got its love, and redemption," they whispered together, their voices entwined in a tender harmony

Subhaan's eyes locked onto Ibadat's, shining with gratitude."We found our truth in each other."Ibadat's smile illuminated her face."And our love redeemed us."
