The pleasant season of autumn an interval between summer and winter, the fall hues in the federal capital Islamabad are welcomed displaying vibrancy for the eye with the catchy burnt colours that gives one a glimpse into the mother nature and the night with the breezy atmosphere of Islamabad was creating another amazing combination to sadness and peace altogether. The night was hiding so many dark secrets and it's also telling thousands of tales with its peaceful nature and serenity.

It was 10'o clock at night, a beautiful girl with rosy cheeks, glassy eyes, and heart of a baby was standing at the doorstep hugging her mother crying as she was going back to her home with her husband who was smiling looking at her emotional state. She was looking so adorable clinging to her mother. Haroon pinched his lips when he remembers that it's her who wanted to go home with him as she didn't want him to be alone but now she was hugging her mother as he was taking her against her will. He always admired her innocence, this purity and chastity were what intrigued him at first.

Sila was his classmate she was so innocent and wouldn't talk with anyone. He was so attracted to her simplicity. He wanted to approach her but every time he stops as he wanted to do things the right way. He talked to his family in his last semester but they bluntly denied his wishes as they wanted to marry him to a rich family who was going to help them expand their business. He fought with them and tried to get his point across them but when they didn't listen to him he did the only thing he finds right and sure it was worthy of all the hatred and hardships.

He talked with them for the last time but they still refuse to accept her as their daughter-in-law so he warned them to left the house. They threaten him that if he marries her then they will disown him but he still chooses her and left everything behind. He went to meet Sila's mother and asked for Sila's hand in marriage, he didn't hide anything from her and told her everything. She was hesitated to give her only daughter hand to a man who left his family and didn't have a stable job and house. She alone raised Sila without anyone help as her father died due to cardiac arrest and all their relatives sever ties with her as they didn't want the burden of a widow and, her daughter, not even her brothers she up brings Sila by working day and night doing labors but not one day she gets disheartened and lost hope.

She saw the determination and passion Haroon has for her daughter so she agreed and give him her blessing. Their marriage was done simply at mosque with her mother, her best friend Shafiya and his university friends as witnesses. They have been married for 9 months now when his family came to know about this they break every tie with him and disown him. He was devastated but then he came out of that hurt with Sila love and Naheed beghum motherly care. He bought a small house in a decent area and got a good job with amazing pay , life was kind to them and they were living happily.

Even Naheed beghum tried to make them live with her but he wanted to stand on his feet and do everything himself. He knows that Sila still blames herself for everything but he will always stop her in this blame game and enclosed her in his arms that were safe haven for her. Now looking his wife who was 8 months pregnant looking cute and still took his breath away. She was soon going to be a mother but looking at her hugging Naheed beghum like a baby koala, he chuckled and he came out of his thoughts at Naheed's voice.

"Sila Mera bacha... Stop crying so much it's not good for the baby. Haroon told you to stay but you wanted to go with him and look he also promised to come next week with you and live till your delivery," she tried to console her daughter who was crying due to her mood swings she was just so adorable, Haroon thought.

"I know... But I still want to go and I also don't want him to be alone... You promise me you will come with me to stay here till baby came haina?" she asked the last part looking at him pouting cutely making his heart skip a beat. She still had such an effect on him. He nodded at her and smiled seeing her eyes shining brightly and a smile blooming at her face giving her face more glow.

"Haroon beta... It's so late I think you guys should stay here and should go in the morning it's not safe to drive so late and also with you" Naheed beghum turned toward Haroon after looking at her smiling daughter. She admired the love they have it's remind her of Sila's father and her times.

"Mama I have an important meeting tomorrow and the file was at home I should have stayed but I can't... And I promise to drive carefully" he said smilingly kissing her hand. She was his mother after his own family pushed him away and he loved her for understanding and supporting him.

"Ok fine... Both of you are so stubborn now go before it's too late... Allah Hafiz" she spoke kissing both of their foreheads. She was feeling like something is going to happen but ignore it thinking it's just her imagination. She locked the door after seeing the couple off and goes to pray her Isha namaz (prayer) to ask from her lord for inner peace and protection of her children.

Sila was so happy seeing the bond Haroon and her mother had but she has also sometimes thought about his family and how they throw them out when they go to take their blessings. She still remembers how broken he was and she still blames herself for his pain. But Haroon being the most amazing partner never once blames her and always stands by her side. She caressed her protruded belly and felt Haroon hand on her. He knows what was going inside her head and wanted to get her attention.

"Stop thinking about them and think about US... me, you and our baby bean" he spoke smilingly. Even he was also saddened and missing them but he was to support his pregnant wife.

"The only family I have now was you, baby bean and Mama... I love you guys and I will always do so stop thinking about something that doesn't matter anymore" he said confidently. She has tears flowing down her cheeks hearing his words he was always her guide in her darkest time and her support in her weakest moment.

(Humayun Ashraf as Haroon Malik)

"

You will always stay with me aren't you? I am nothing without you Haroon, you and our baby is my world please promise me that you will stand by me always love me and stay with me... You promise?" she asked crying. He closed his eyes feeling stressed looking at her crying but he knows she gets want his assurance.

"I will Sila I will always be with you either alive or not you will always have me with you... Always and forever" he promised. Sila's heart gets peace hearing his words but her mind was repeating his words about him being alive or not. She shook her head and glared at him. He looked at her thinking of her being happy after hearing him but one look at her and he knows he did some mistake before he can open his mouth he gets slapped on his arm. He groaned and focused on driving again turning toward his angry wife.

"What happened now, baby? Did I do something?" He asked confusedly. He was very protective and sensitive about her and didn't like it when she was mad about anything.

"I won't talk to you... Why you have to spoil my mood with such things you could have said that you will always stay with me but no you have to add that alive or not part..." she huffed angrily and he chuckled hearing her complain.

"Ok fine I am sorry Meri Jaan I promise I will not say that again now please don't be mad I can't bear your anger please, pretty please " she smiled at his pouty face and forgive him. He was relaxed, her being happy made him feel peaceful and happy. He holds her hand and kissed her palm. She also smiled looking outside the window.

They were close to their house when a speeding truck came from the front and dashed into their car. One moment there was teasing, laughing and smiling at each other but the next moment there were screaming, blood and scattering of glasses everywhere. After some time Sila got her consciousness and touched her stomach to feel her baby bean but there was no movement nor any feel she was panicked she moved to tell Haroon but what she saw killed her. Haroon was lifeless sitting with a piece of glass lodged into his chest where his heart was. She moved to hold him but her seat belt was stuck and she can't move.

She was screaming and trying to call his name, pleading him to wake up but every attempt was futile. He was gone just like that after every promise every vow he was taken from her. An agonizing scream left her mouth looking at him and she left like her soul was taken away. She felt a piercing pain in her stomach and another scream left her mouth with tears of loss and pain rolling down her cheeks and her heart shattered in millions of pieces. The last thing she heard before the darkness consumes her was siren and her Haroon impaled by the window glass roaming her mind and she lost the battle to darkness.

Sila was taken to the hospital as her condition was very critical. The truck driver was also dead and so was Haroon. The police inspector who arrived at the accident site was Haroon's family friend so he informed his family who was shocked hearing about his accident and reached the hospital. Sila's mother was also informed who arrived after some time with Sila's best friend Shafiya. Haroon family was devastated when informed about his death so was Naheed beghum and Shafiya. But his family started to accuse Sila of killing their son. His mother called her names and cussed her, they didn't think even about their grandchild who probably can be dead by now and about Sila who was their son's life, and now she was fighting for her life and her baby's. They took Haroon's dead body and after a whole lot of drama, they left telling they will never forgive her and cursed her to die as she took their son since she came in his life but now he was gone forever.

Naheed beghum was so disheartened about Haroon's death and her daughter life in danger. She can't think about anything anymore. She was feeling numb, its like history was repeating itself but she was strong to raise Sila on her own but she knows her daughter loved Haroon so much she will be devastated and she can't do anything to make it right to help her daughter. She sobbed hysterically hugging Shafiya who was also crying cursing fate for destroying the happiness of such a beautiful couple and turning their life upside down in one fateful night. The doctor came out of Operation theater and comes toward the two broken figures that were supporting each other.

"I am sorry Mrs. Naheed but we can't save the baby... The baby was not able to take the impact of the accident and died within her womb. She was fine now but she was shocked mentally she was having a head injury it's not severe but her physical loss and her mental condition have weakened her body ... She was in a coma now we didn't know when she will wake up or if she did. We are really sorry for your loss but I wish your daughter healthy and speedy recovery" the doctor smile sympathetically at them and went from there.

Naheed beghum stumbled hearing about Sila's condition and baby. She closed her eyes feeling the pain of her precious daughter in one night she lost everything close to her heart. Shafiya support her and made her sit. Naheed beghum was feeling pain in her heart she was not able to bear this pain this suffering written in her daughter's fate she wasn't able to see her with her eyes. She clutched her left arm and sat on the chair Shafiya was calling the medical staff to help her but when the doctor came and took her to the emergency room she has already departed from this world. She was not that strong anymore to look at her baby girl in suffering and Her Lord stops all her pain and miseries.

A lone tear escapes her eyes as she left her only child in this cruel world to face everything alone. Shafiya was so distress and heartbroken, she can't believe that in one night her sister like best friend would be ruined. She was the one who did burial of Naheed beghum near Sila's father grave and her family supports her in this heartbreaking situation. She daily went to see Sila and know about her health progress but it's like she didn't have any will power to live. And why should she... She has no one except her best friend in this world all her precious relations were taken from her in just blink of an eye.

It's been one month since that fateful day, and still, Sila was not awake. Shafiya took care of her mother's house as she was going to their house according to her weekly routine. She saw some papers and boxes placed near the doorstep she opened the lock and took everything inside. She read the papers first stating that Haroon's family has sold his house and everything within. She cried reading it, the place her friend's last safe haven was also taken from her. At least they have enough humanity to send her things. She stored the boxes in Sila's room and after doing her work left the house praying to help Sila and give her strength to handle everything when she wakes up.

After 15 days, Shafiya came to the hospital as per her daily routine she came before going to her job and just sat beside Sila hoping and praying for her to get up as she won't be able to lose her. She was in the hallway of Sila's room when she saw doctors and nurses rushing inside. Fear gripped her heart and she was thinking about all the negative scenarios. She shook her head and run to the ICU room and what she saw shocked her to the core. Sila was struggling to get free from the nurses hold and get up she was screaming, crying, calling everyone she lost but she still did not know that as she was lost in the darkness fighting her own demons.

She saw Shafiya standing at the door, she put her arms out like a helpless child does to his mother and ask for the solace of her arms. Shafiya came out of her shock and run toward her, she hugged Sila who was crying desperately holding onto her finding someone she knows someone she loves. Shafiya was so also crying looking at her broken condition lost was the girl who was living the life to the fullest after Haroon it's like all her reasons to live died with them but she was still to know about them.

"Sha...shaf...iiyaaa... See they...are...ee saying I lost... My Haroon and my baby bean. Please tell them they are wrong... Tell him to come...out and stop this prank it's making me sick... I can't breathe please ... Where is Haroon please call him" Sila was continuously calling Haroon. It's like she was living the moments again when the accident took place. She was shocked and traumatized. Shafiya tried to calm her down but she was getting out of hands. But when she asked about her mother Shafiya stilled hearing her. She didn't know what to do she was feeling so helpless. She tried to distract her but Sila was not listening to her it's like her heart knew that she lost another piece of it.

"Sila meri Jaan relax please... bs krde they are gone... they are all gone... your Haroon, your baby, and aunty Naheed please "Shafiya spoke brokenly. Sila felt like she died she repeatedly called Haroon's name and her mother. She was in trance; the doctor has said that she can't bear more mental and physical stress than she already was but she was not listening to any pleading. Shafiya slapped her and that got her to stop her struggle. She sat there looking lost just like a helpless child who lost his parents and didn't do what to do. Shafiya can't see her like this like a ruined avatar of her best friend she holds her shoulders and shook her vigorously.

"Aunty was gone... She can't bear to look at you in this situation she knew you won't be able to live without your Haroon and your baby. Please Sila please meri Jaan don't hurt them. You took so long to come to conscious and aunty lost the battle with time. It's Allah' s will Sila we can't do anything but accept it" Shafiya said to her who was numb but listening to her best friend's words she broke down crying taking out all the sorrow, all the pain out of her system. She cried for all her lost, for the gems she loves more than life and for her life which is nothing without her family her precious loved ones. Her friend let her cry taking her in her arms giving the support that she wants.

Nazrein aur pharne walo ko mera salaam... hope you like the first chapter. this was just a filler to let you guys know how Sila lost everything and all. i know it is sad and i literally cried while writing this.

Zindagi rhi tu phir milege... Naye khubsurat hissy ke Saath. Tab tak ke liye fi'amaan Allah.
