Chapter 1.

Aazim.

"Aazim." I looked up from my book and smile when I saw Mom standing at my room door. I sit up and saw as she enter in and close the door behind her. "How are you?"

"I am good. Is everything okay? You look like you are nervous." She looks down and nodded slowly. I frowned at her. 

"I have to tell you about something." I nodded and waited for her to continue. 

"Jameelah wants you to marry her daughter." I freeze and look at Mom silently begging this is not true. I haven't told my Mom about Sana yet, only Zaina Bhabhi know about it, but she didn't want me to go after Sana seriously because she thinks that something is off with her and I know that is not true. 

"I can't do it." I told Mom firmly. She looks at me confused and raise her eyebrow at me.

"Why?" She asked. I swallow nervously and look away. If I didn't tell her now then maybe I wouldn't tell her anytime soon. 

"I love someone else." I look at her and saw her looking at me with wide eyes. I saw as she stood up and walk out. I know she is upset, but she wouldn't reject my choice. I just have to wait and see what Mom will do.

***

"I am nervous." I sigh and stood up from my seat and went toward her. I stand behind her and look at her in the mirror with a smile. 

"Don't worry. Mom is very polite and friendly. She will like you." I told her confidently. She looks at me for a minute and nodded slowly. She takes a few deep breaths and turned around to face me. 

"How much time is left?" I look at my watch and saw it was 6 pm. 

"About an hour. Hadi Bhai says he will bring her here. I have to head out, but I will be here after an hour and half. Take some time to relax." I told her and walk out with her following me. I open door and walk out after giving her a smile. I press the button and wait for the elevator to come. When it was open, I was about to get in but freeze when I saw Mom standing there with Hadi Bhai and his wife. I look at Mom with wide eyes, but she keeps her face blank.

"What are you doing here?" Mom asked me as they step out of the elevator. I swallow and look at Hadi Bhai but he just gives me a glare.

"N-nothing." I started it out making shefrowned. She shakes her head at me and ask Zaina Bhabhi about the apartment. I saw as they walk toward the door and knock twice. 

"What are you guys doing here earlier?" I asked my brother quietly. He sighs and shrugged. 

"Mom wants to go without informing to see how she lives and make arrangements." We saw as Sana open door and look at Mom surprised before letting her come in. She looks at us and leave the door half open for us.

"Why didn't you tell me about it?" He glared at me and smack the back of my head. 

"Check your phone. I called you many times and sent messages." He says and went inside. I pulled out my phone and saw he was saying right. He did call me and message me. 

I close my eyes after putting my phone back and prayed in my heart that Mom will like her and agreed on our relationship.

***

"Sana!" I yelled and soon heard footsteps rushing upstairs. I smirked when I saw her entering in our room hurriedly. She frowned and stop on her steps when she saw me. 

"What happened?" She asked me confused. I shake my head and walk toward her before wrapping my arms around her. 

"Nothing." I shrugged. She narrowed her eyes at me and tried to get free from my grip. 

"Then why were you yelling?" She asked me making me sigh.

"Because I like to see you before starting my day." I winked at her and she blushed before looking down. I chuckle and leaned down to place a light kiss of her forehead. 

"Okay, you have seen me now get ready, we are going to be late for your niece birthday." She finally managed to get away from me. I pouted, but went in the bathroom after taking my cloths to get ready.

After about an hour later we were on the road going to my grandparents to see my little niece. I looked away from the road to my right and saw Sana looking out. She is really beautiful. I still remember the first time I saw her was when I was visiting Hadi Bhai and Zaina Bhabhi after my graduation. 

It felt like yesterday when it has been a year and half of that incident. I was waiting at a traffic signal with Zaina Bhabhi when Sana sits in our car and asked us to help her as someone was following her. We take her safely to her apartment and drop her off. 
After that day, I meet her in a mall, then we exchange our numbers and start talking. It was hard to get her number, but I finally get it. After few months of talking like friends I fall for her and tell Mom about it. She wasn't happy about it as she wants me to marry my cousin, but I didn't want to. After hard work I make her ready to meet her. 

After engagement and wedding, we moved out of the house and went to live in our own because she couldn't adjust as she live alone. Mom wasn't happy about it, Hadi Bhai also live in another city with Bhabhi because of his work. Adila come regularly to see Mom and everyone, but because of my job timings I couldn't visit her everyday.

"Let's go." I park my car on the side of the road as the driveway was full of cars.

I am excited to meet everyone. I haven't seen them in 6 months as I was busy with my work. We went inside and greet everyone. I hugged my Mom, brother and sister before sitting with everyone. It is like a get together with family because I haven't seen Jameelah Aunty in a year and a half. She was upset that I didn't marry her daughter but her daughter understand and agreed with my decision.

I smile as I saw my niece struggling in Hadi Bhai arms before he put her down. I saw as she takes her little steps toward me. I kneel down and catch her as she fall toward me. I feel happy when I heard her giggling. I smile softly and kissed her forehead.

I love kids, but sadly I couldn't have my own children. Sana wants me to marry someone else who can give me this happiness but I refused. I don't want to marry to have kids. We can go through adoption and I tell her about it. She wasn't happy, but she eventually agreed to do it but after a few years because as for her, right now we don't know anything about it and didn't spend much time to with each other and bringing a baby won't be good. I don't know why, but I agree with her when I want kids right now. We discussed it with our family and they weren't happy about it, but we convince them. 

"How are you?" I looked away from my niece and saw Hadi Bhai standing beside me. 

"Good." I nodded with a smile making him smile back. He reaches toward his daughter and wipe some drool off her chin with her little napkin. I look around and saw someone missing. 

"Why it feels like someone is not here?" I look at Hadi Bhai and he nodded. 

"She couldn't come, but she will be here before dinner." I nodded and bounce my niece on my lap making her giggle.

"So, any plan for your second anniversary?" Hadi Bhai asked me. I shrugged and he frowned at me. Our wedding anniversary is in a month and I didn't really plan anything. I talk Sana about it, but she refused to go on vacation or do anything else. She wants to spend it at home because she couldn't take the day off from her job. 

"Nothing special." I say and look away when he frowned at me. He was about to ask something, but it was cut off by Mom calling him.

After that little conversation with Hadi Bhai, we all get ready for the main event. Hadi Bhai held his daughter and help her cut the cake when we sing happy birthday to her. I smile softly at my brother family and look at my wife. I frowned when I saw her looking down at her phone. As I was about to lean and see but she lock her phone and push a smile looking at everyone. I could feel her tense about something but decide to leave it and ask her when we get home.

After dinner and dessert, everyone sits in the living room talking and laughing at our childhood memories. Adila daughter was beside Zaina Bhabhi looking at her sleeping sister. She asks Zaina Bhabhi different things about her sister and I was surprised that Zaina Bhabhi answer all het question without getting tired while Adila get angry and get tired. I stood up to re-fill my drink when suddenly the door bell ring. 

"I will get it." I say and walk out. I went in the kitchen to put my glass on the counter and went out again to open door. She looked up when I open the door. She looks down again and quietly give her Salam before walking past me when I step aside. I close the door and went back in kitchen to get my drink.

When I enter into a living, I saw her sitting on my seat beside my Mom. I look around and went over to sit next to my oldest brother Danish. He smiled and nodded as I take my seat. About an hour later, I saw my sisters, my sister-in-laws and my wife standing up before they walk out. I feel their steps going upstairs and shrugged, thinking that they went up in terrace.

***

"It is getting late. We should leave now." I stood up from the couch and give everyone a hug. I smiled at Mom and give her a tight hug. When she pulled back, she pulled me down and kissed my forehead. Sana hugs Mom and give her goodbyes before we take our leave. 

All the way to home, Sana was quiet. She didn't say anything, just look out of the window. I know something is not right with her and after knowing her for almost 3 years, I know she is not going to tell me right now whatever happen. I just hope it wasn't something serious. I love her so much that I can't see her like this. I can't see her upset about something and it hurt to think that I couldn't do anything to make her feel better right now. She is not that type of women who feel better when her husband tried to do something for her, but in our case, she gets really mad and I experienced it before few times. It is better to leave her alone for a day or two after that she bounce back to normal.

"I have work tomorrow early morning." Sana says as we enter into our home. I nodded with a smile.

"You want me to drop you off?" I asked her. She work as receptionist in city best publishing company. She shakes her head in no and went upstairs in our room. I frowned and let it go. 

I don't want to ask her and ruin our night because of something that maybe not important right now. I just have to wait for her to come around and tell me.

Assalam-o-Alaikum.

So here is the first chapter of The Cure Of My Broken Heart. I hope you all like it and let me know what you think about this chapter.

About next chapter, I am not sure when it is going to be out but I will try my best to update it soon.

First few chapters are going to be flashback of Aazim past and after that story will be focus on him and his second wife/cousin.

I don't know if you want to see someone as Aazim, Sana and cousin. If you do then tell me the names because I have no idea who plays who. If you don't want it then I wouldn't cast them.

Thank you so much for your patient and support. ☺

Love you all! 😊
